So tell us right now how insane we are!! Tell us, or rather slap

me back to being into reality. ​

You're kidding, right?!

I'm so happy for you both!

[mrsksomeday]

Wow....that's awesome!

Hedy, I think it's awesome too.

Go more....see more......especially w/ those APs....it'll be like going for free.....

Early June---hot, but not nearly as crowded as the end of the month as it nears 4th of July.

LOL I keep telling myself that, it if free in a way . The way I see it, he has done 2 super soap weekends, I can do a Star Wars Weekend and an ESPN weekend to even it out .

I have finally caught-up and I am glad that you had a great time. I can't wait to read the rest of your installments.

Ms.Grumpy, thank you so much for still reading.

Not insane at all!! It's awesome!!! I'm so happy for you guys!!!

Yes Linnie, it is awesome, but you have to admit it is a little insane .

YEA!! Tracy and Bill!!

Thanks carrieannie, I just can't seeme to call you Ed!!

This trip report is SOOO fun! You all have are such a fun and playful couple...the best thing about my boyfriend is that he makes me laugh, and you both seem to do that for each other...so yay!

HelloFSUDisneyGirl!! Thank you so much for reading. Laughter is the key to happiness. We giggle with each other every single day!

yeah for you guys!!!!

Hi MousekaMaddi, thanks.

Wow! Sounds logical to me! You guys are very fortunate!

I don't think you have room for all your tickers!

Michelle!! It isn't logical really, but when it is yucky cloudy here in Illinois I can close my eyes and think of Florida. Did you notice? I got all 3 tickers in there .

Great News!! Not crazy at all!

Amy, I love how everyone knows it is crazy in the back of their heads,but the happiness of knowing someone is going to Disney surpasses it.

Sounds perfectly logical to me...if you think you're crazy, I don't know what you'd call us. Once DH agreed to buy DVC, I can rationalize almost anything.

kde, I think you can justify it when you have the DVC (which we don't) . BTW, I love your 3 tickers.

There is no such thing as crazy when planning Disney trips. Have fun!

That just means more TR's for us.

askelton, thank you we will have fun!! Oh my goodness, I hadn't even thought about more trip reports.

I am so happy for you guys! Tracy, I too will be 40 in 2009. June. Over the hill Party for us.

I can't get hubby on a boat, ship, sailboat, speedboat, life raft, dingy!
He hates anything ocean related. He won't do a cruise. I was just joking about everything else.

Hi GeminiAngel, thank you. Yay, we will be 40 at the same time!! Your hubby needs to get over it, LOL go on a cruise!!

That's right! I figure that we, your loyal readers, are set for the next two years!

Michelle, that just scares me .

Sounds like a very good plan to me!!! I may be right behind you, in your plans.

Hi Kimmy!! Yes, you have to make more plans, and more plans and well you get the idea.

Thank you Kathy .



Thank you everyone that has read this report. I love the fact that I can be totally crazy about Disney and have a place to talk about it!!

Tracy, at the rate you and Bill are going to WDW you might as well come all the way over to the dark side and buy DVC.

Hi I am back and I am going to comment on some more things about the trip, but I don’t want to go over the same thing again and again for you, that would be boring.

Our first full day in Florida was Epcot. I was the one that told Tracy “one more hour” and we went back to sleep. Tracy likes to research, make all these schedules, decide what our “must-do’s” are, and I like to go with the flow of things. We are on vacation, if we want to sleep in, why not? This upsets Tracy because then her plans are off. I understand she has plans for which park because of the ADR’s, but I don’t see what all the other fuss is about.

One of my favorite things to do in Disney World is eat. We aren’t able to just hop in the car and pop down to Disney to get something to eat, so I make the most out of it when we are there. We stopped to take a photopass picture before we headed to the Electric Umbrella:

After eating we went to Figment. This is one of the rides that I need to go on more than one time to enjoy it really because it is loud, Figment jumps out, and they play with your senses in the dark. This messes with my Cerebral Palsy. It really triggers my startle reflex. The accessible ride vehicle is one of my favorites.

Next was the Land Pavilion. We went down to ride Living with the Land. When I went to Disney with my mom and dad I don’t remember Living with the Land ride having the accessible boat. I think it is neat that they would go back and modify things to make them accessible. Tracy had never been on this. We are from Illinois and most of the stuff they were growing we see all the time. So why did Tracy have to take pictures of everything? Why, I don’t know? Because it was in Disney World probably !!

Lettuce, sunflowers and fish ?

I think it is neat that they use the things they grow on property, pretty smart so they don’t have to buy it anywhere.

We got off the boat and headed to the elevator. A woman and her family came up behind us, she was on an ECV . I have not seen many people that know how to drive a rented ECV at WDW. I got on the elevator first and made sure my right arm was on my tray because you never know which way the ECV will go. She started to get on and she rammed the wall . I don’t understand why Disney doesn’t turn down the speed of the ECV. I would think it would be possible because all of my previous wheelchairs could have the speed turned up or down. We let her leave first and we went to the Living Seas.

As Tracy told you we ran into a Dream Team Member waiting for Talk Turtle with Crush. I think it is great that they spend so much time talking to the guests. I know it is hard for them not to be able to just give things away. It would be a great job to have. I did my first pin trade! That was my dream, so I was happy. I really like Crush, it is always fun to watch the kids interact with him.

We did get a glimpse of the dolphins because Pal Mickey had told us about it, but we were late because of the Crush, so hopefully next time we will see the whole show.

The best way to meet my needs is to go to the first aid station. It makes it easier for us so we don’t have to leave the parks to do this. I am grateful that they have a location that is able to help me.

Tracy told me about the boat ride in Mexico, I said why not I had never done it before. It was an unforgettable experience with the people that practically running us over in the accessible line and the way the boat is set up for the wheelchairs. We got on the accessible boat and I was trying to watch the cartoons, but Tracy was laughing so much I couldn’t hear anything. How was I supposed to ignore that? I asked her if she saw something and she said no because she couldn’t quit laughing.

On the way out of the park to head to the Poly for dinner, Tracy had to use the restroom. Every time we go underneath Spaceship Earth in the evening it feels like we are in the eye of a hurricane. The wind was pushing Tracy around and it was my turn to start laughing. I feel sorry for kids because they don’t weigh that much, they must get thrown around under there.

Tracy told you about the noises on the elevator going to the monorail. I thought I might be on the Tower of Terror, I was glad to get out of it. The Polynesian Resort is my dream resort. The only thing I didn’t like that night was all the Patriots fans cheering when they beat my Colts .

O’Hana is my favorite restaurant because of all the different kinds of meat. I like to go there when Wishes is happening. Seeing the castle change colors makes it feel magical.

I know Disney is for everyone, but Tracy and I still talk about that tiny baby at the bus stop that night. My opinion is you have to put your children’s needs first, even on vacation. We saw issues with this at the Poly bus stop that Tracy told you about and waiting for the Pop bus at DTD.

Next up… My thoughts about our first day at the Magic Kingdom

 

[GeminiAngel]

Thanks for the update on your thoughts. My husband thinks I'm crazy too for trying to plan everything. I ended up relaxing my plans once we arrived.
I realized like you, sleep is good!

 

[KathyRN137]

Why'dya stop, Bill??

Oh.

I know.

It must be lunchtime!


Luv hearing your perspective....my goodness, Tracy, you two are mirror images of Ed and me. I love to plan, plan, plan and he gets annoyed sometimes because he can't just wander around the World at will.

I promised I wouldn't overplan our next trip....do you think I can do it?


Kathy

 

[jordanyosh]

Thanks for giving us your perspective.

Sorry about the Colts. I LOVE the Chargers, but was rooting for Peyton and Dungy......

Do you care who wins next week?

 

[carrieannie]

Hi Bill and Tracy! I`m still here! I`ll be back tonite after everyone is asleep and I have my Margarita in hand. to catch up on everything!!

Carrie.

 

[scottny]

I am enjoying getting both sides.

 

[mkluvsmickey]

The Polynesian Resort is my dream resort.

Looks like your dreams will come true in 2009!

Great update Bill! It is so great to get your perspective on things. You guys are a great couple and seem to complement each other perfectly!
