AKV, here we come. June 1-8 11/15.. Finally BACK!

I can't wait for your trip report!! I think your wedding one was the first trip report I ever read and I loved it!!

That's how it was with me too!! I have her wedding tr bookmarked so I can go back to it!!

Kimmy, I feel the same about your TRs as well. I love reading them. Your new PTR is so cute.

Thanks Lynn!!

Your last trip looked sooooooooo amazing!!! How cute were you with Goofy? And your hair looked amazing...so nice and sleek!! How do you get it to stay so straight? Did it just help a ton because it wasn't quite so humid in Jan.? Well whatever it was, you looked great!! And I LOVE the pic of you and Tim in your siggy!! So cute. Tim looks pretty fly in that hat. :laughing:
 
Goofy was too funny flirting with you! :laughing:

Yeay for your trip being so close! :banana:

He was cute. Almost a week!!!

LOL, love the Goofy picture. How did Tim feel about you running off with Goofy? :rotfl:

HAHA, he was probably relieved, LOL!!:lmao:

I feel like you guys went at such at great time-- you got to experience the decorations/etc. without the huge crowds!! I love the character's holiday outfits-- especially Minnie's! The Goofy pics are hysterical!!

It was crowded more than May when we first got there. I want to say by the 7th the crowds started to die down. There were a ton of tour groups. A ton! It was insane. I have never seen so many tour groups in Disney before. It was awesome to see the Christmas stuff, though.

Hi, Lynn! I just found your PTR this morning. I've followed along on your other TRs, so I'm excited for this one as well :)

Hi! Thanks and welcome!

Hey Lynn! I'm glad to see you're doing another PTR/TR! :banana:

Too bad we are missing each other by a month and some days!

Hey honey bunny!!! I KNOW!!! I would have loved to have met you two in person.

popcorn:: So excited for another Lynn TR!! I love your purple coach purse in that photo pass picture!! Do you know the name of it by chance? popcorn::

My coach bag? It's black, lol. Does it look purple in the picture? IDK know the name. Tim bought it for me like 2-3 years ago. I like it because it will never really go out of style.

Lynn, I've been wondering what happened to you! We were on the WISH Disney half support thread, but then I never heard about how your race went. It was a brutal one wasn't it.:eek: I think we can safely say it won't be that cold again. Here is a post to some of the pictures from my race.

You'll notice from the finish time I finished a tad bit behind you:rolleyes1

Anyway I'm excited you're headed back so soon! Hopefully you'll have time for a trip report so I have some good summer reading:goodvibes

Hi! I should do a mini report on here about the race. I will. I was fine during, but what happened afterward was not fun. I will post about it on here.

I will check out your link :) Thank you for posting it for me. Yeah, I will be doing a TR! I keep it all on the same link, so it will be in this thread.

Welcome back, Lynn! So glad you're doing another PTR/TR! My DD and I loved your wedding TR so we are soooo on board with this one! After seeing your wedding TR, DD now wants to get married at WDW (although that had better be a long way off - she's only 17). And congratulations on the race! It sounds as if those were some pretty relentless conditions, but how thrilling to run MK - very cool. Great job finishing the semester! Summer courses are so much more fun (imho)! I can't remember, but are you going for education?Good for you - you'll be awesome! We've only got a few weeks left until finals and the students are so excited - hard to keep them on task, of course, but I totally share their excitement! We're heading to the World on July 8 to celebrate DD's graduation - and with everything going on the time should fly by! Anyway, sorry to go on and on - just so glad to see you around these parts again! Can't wait to read more - your first few days sound great!!! :thumbsup2

OH and your pics are gorgeous! I love the ones with the characters dressed up for the holidays! Tim's face is priceless in the Goofy ones!

~Nancy~

Hi Nancy! She should definitely do a Disney wedding. They are amazing to work with. Everything was PERFECT. Destination weddings are the way to go. There is no stress at all. Aww, sounds like you have a fun trip coming up. Congrats to your daughter.

Yeah, I am going for education. I want to teach math. Love it. I bet it is hard to keep the students on task when they are so close to summer break.

Summer classes are great!!

Thanks, they were a lot of fun.

The Goofy photopass pics are hysterical! I like this one with the kid in the background looking at you two :laughing: -

HAHAHA!!! OMG, I did not know that kid was there. Good find, lol.

OMG, that's so funny, I didn't notice that little boy in the back! How adorable!!!

Me neither, lol!!

One more week?!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!:dance3:

AHH, I know!!! I am getting really excited.

Hi there- I am in!

We just got back from disney about 2 weeks ago, stayed at AKL actually and not sure if this has been mentioned but when we were at DHS, there were lots of street performers. I am not sure when they plan on doing away with them but as of May 2nd they were still there. Hopefully they will stick around for you!

Oh and I did not know about this little Wednesday MK secret!! :confused3
It will now be noted and remembered for all future trips :)

Hi! Yeah, I have heard that they are still there. Thank God. Tim and I love them, and I do not know what I would do if I never saw my guy there. I stalk him down every trip, LOL!!!

Oh the AKL, I cannot wait to be there. Yeah, it really is the best day to go to the MK.

Jumping on board a little late! You're trip is so close- you must be excited!! Your plans sound great! I know most DISers would probably think I'm crazy but I love going to multiple parks a day-- gotta make hay while the sun shines right? :laughing:

Love your Tonga Toast food porn!! The picture with you kissing Goofy is ADORABLE! That's one to get framed! :laughing:

And can't wait to hear about Star Wars Day! My DH wanted to go this year but we were just too busy. And, you're eating at my favorite place in EPCOT- Chefs de France!! They have the most amazing macaroni and cheese and I love love love seeing Remy from Ratatouille!! :)

Can't wait to hear about the trip!!

LOL, I love doing multiple parks in a day. Chefs is the best!! Aww, we saw Remy. It was a nice surprise. Ooh and I love the mac and cheese. I always get it. That and the french onion soup.

Aww, that stinks. Hopefully you guys can go next year. Tim is so excited, lol.

Hey Lynn!
I am LOVING your pics from the last trip! I'm loving them so much I may have to plan a secret trip for J and I around the holidays! :rolleyes:
Your plans sound great! And thanks for the tip about MK on Wednesdays! I had no idea! :thumbsup2

I will post some more. You guys should definitely go. No problem. Wednesdays in the MK are great.

Loving the Goofy pictures! Too cute! I love Tim's face :rotfl:

HAHA! It was so much fun.

That's how it was with me too!! I have her wedding tr bookmarked so I can go back to it!!



Thanks Lynn!!

Our honeymoon was sooo much fun. We had so many surprises during that trip.

It was an awesome trip. Oh girl, the next day my hair was a fro, lol. It would get humid at night, so my hair the nest day was a mess. I just flat iron it and it stays so straight.

Thanks, that was from the wedding we went to yesterday. Tim was in it. They did like a gangster theme for the guys. It was cute.
 
Wow, I can't believe you guys leave a week from tomorrow. CRAZY!! Love those Goofy pictures. Too cute. Oh, and your signature pictures are adorable!!
 
Lynn-I love the goofy pictures! Isn't the castle beautiful for Christmas? I'll at least try to post some pictures from our trip, probably on facebook.
 

I absolutely love your pics with goofy! HOW CUTE! LOL :)
that little kid in the corner was hilarious, i didn't notice that until someone else pointed that out! LOL!
 
You seem to always have such great interaction with the Characters! (I also didn't notice that cute lil kid sneakin' in until it was pointed out) We have a few photos where Minnie was hitting on Dbf, pinching his butt, giving him kisses... :lmao: but other than that, not much.

3 parks in one day, we've only ever tackled 2 in a day!
 
Woohoo we are getting close!!

Great photos from AK...you are one of the most photogenic people, so pretty!!

I too love the new photo in your signature, great picture of both you and Tim.

Oh my, I flat iron mine and it won't stay out in that humidity...at least it didn't in September and I'm doubting it will in August!! You're lucky yours stays straight!!!

The gangster themed wedding was so cute! I went and looked on facebook when I got home!! I loved it!!

I feel very fortunate. No, it will not last.... especially in August humidity, lol.

Sorry I have not updated. I have a test this week, so I have been studying. I should be able to update tonight.
 
Hi Lynn! I can't believe your trip is so close! May is just flying by! Can't wait to hear all about it and see what cute outfits you decided to bring!

Hi! Me neither. I am bringing a bunch of cute summer dresses. I want to dress light :)

I promise, I will update soon....my trip will be here before I know it.:woohoo:
 
DAY 4

We leave so soon! WOO HOO! :cool1:

This is the day that we are going to go to DHS for Star Wars Weekend. This will be our first time going for this event. Tim is a big Star Wars fan, so he is thrilled.

On the day we are going, they are having an EMH morning. We will get there early to see the Storm Troopers. I hear they are a riot.

I think what we plan on doing when we first get there is going to the store where they sell the limited edition things. Tim needs to get some pins, lol. I know that the store gets crowded and you have to get there early. After that, we will probably get in line for the character meet and greets. We are not worried about getting celebrity autographs, so we will not be doing that. Then, we will watch the parade and then do whatever until the Hyperspace Hoopla. I hear it is a really good show. We shall see.

Most likely while Tim is in the stores, I will go to TSM and get FP. My plan is to get all of the SW stuff done with before the parade. After looking at the SW schedule, there doesn't really seem like that much stuff to do. We are only interested in the parade, characters, and Hyperspace Hoopla. If I am missing something, could you please let me know? Thanks.

After Hyperspace Hoopla, we are having dinner at Brown Derby! YUM! Another favorite. They had a great Fillet when I went last time! Here it is.

and this is one of the best desserts in Disney.

After dinner, the MK is having EMH until 2 A.M, so we may hit up the MK before going back to the room.

Here are some pics from January...

my favorite ride...

Great Movie Ride

The barn they made in the Hannah Montana movie.

Luxor! His little dance is so cute.
IMG_6122.jpg



OOh, I forgot to mention. With all of the times we are going to DHS, we will not be seeing Fantasmic. I mean, if we can we will, but we are okay if we don't see it. We have seen it like 500 times. It is hard to fit in with it only being 2 nights a week, and it gets super crowded now. Here are some pics from when we went in January. They turned out okay for being all the way at the back in the standing room only section.

My favorite part... when Mickey dances in the beginning. Can you hear the music?

Anybody remember what Mickey says at this part before he giggles??
IMG_6184.jpg


Coming up next- Day 5, but what do we have planned?
 
Love your fantasmic pictures from last time! We didn't do Star Wars Weekend when were there cause we heard it was REALLY REALLY crowded. I kind of wish now that we would have done it because Brandon is a big Star Wars fan.
 
I'm glad I found your new trip report Lynn - you have the best pictures. Have a great trip!
 
Hey Lynn, we went to Star Wars Weekends back in 2005 and you basically have the gist of it. They didn't have Hyperspace Hoopla back then (or at least if they did, we didn't hang around for it), but we're looking forward to it this year.

In my PTR I'm doing a "flashback TR" of our 2005 trip, and here are links to the chapters with SWW.

Ch. 36 - Flashback '05 PChef WDW TR - Day 7 - Star Wars characters at MGM, there are
Ch. 37a- Flashback '05 PChef WDW TR - Day 7 - But Dad, what about my Jedi training?
Ch. 37b- Flashback '05 PChef WDW TR - Day 7 - But Dad, what about my Jedi training? (continuation)

I'm psyched about catching SWW again this year!

By the way, love your ToT pictures! No, scratch that, love all of your pictures really.
 
You're leaving so soon! Lucky girl!!!

I'm not a big fan of Fantasmic. The first time I saw the show, I wasn't blown away. And getting out of there is the WORST! It's better when they have EMH because at least not everyone is headed toward the exit. Idk if we'll do it this trip, depends on if my co-vacationers wants to see it!
 
Love your pic of the wicked witch's shoes :thumbsup2 My pics always come out so blurry, they never come out right :headache:

Can't believe you're leaving in less than a WEEK! How exciting! :yay:
 
OMG I LOOOOVE that part of fantasmic!!! I CAN hear the music and now I am singing it lol

What settings did you use to take that picture? I just got a new dslr and I haven't had time to learn it really but I want to get some types of pictures that are decent.
 
Oh my goodness -- I love that picture of the Tower of Terror light fixture!!!

What's the Brown Derby dessert? I am partial to the grapefruit cake. Also, if you drink, the Hollywood was a very yummy concoction!

We watched Hyperspace Hoopla through the windows of the Backlot Express while we were eating dinner, and it looked like a blast!
 
Have fun with SWW-- we've never been, but DBF is a huge Star Wars nerd, so I know he'd love to. Can't wait to hear all about it!
You leave so soon!! You guys must be so excited!
