June 1-8 PTR

Hey everybody!! It is good to be back on the boards. I was away for a while due to school. Now that my Spring semester is over, I have some time to hang out on the boards. I will only be taking two summer classes, so I will have some more free time. I never was able to get around to my January TR, but I would love to share some pictures from the trip. It was our first time seeing the Christmas decorations. I LOVED the castle icicles and the Osbourne lights. So pretty.

OOh, and I have to share these two pics with you all. I love these guys from DHS. I have heard that they are no longer having street performers in DHS. Makes me sad, lol.

I ran the half marathon on this trip. Man it was brutal. It SNOWED the day of the race! Snow, lol! It was crazy. The race started with snow at first, changed to ice, and ended with rain. I have to tell you though, running through the MK was AMAZING!! Having all of the people cheering you on and the characters was just so awesome. I finished in 2:05:43. I could have done better, but I was happy with that. The weather really slowed me down.
Here is what I worked so hard to get that day.

As some of you may know, Tim and I always go to Disney in May for our anniversary. Unfortunately with me being in school, we were not able to go in May for our anniversary. It is okay though. We will be going the end of next May because we are going on the Disney Dream!! :lovestruc I am totally looking forward to it. We will be doing the cruise for 4 nights, then finishing with 5 nights at AKV. I am hoping we can get into concierge for this stay. I am going to try. Anyway, we decided to go this June because of Star Wars Weekends. Tim is a huge fan, so he is thrilled. What I am really excited about, though, is that we will be there for the Summer Nightastic. The summer events start on June 6. When I first heard that Wishes was going to be replaced, I was a bit worried that I would not be able to see it. Wishes is my absolute favorite. We get to Disney on June 1, so I will still get to see Wishes and the new fireworks show! YAY!

So where will we be staying? At AKV! We absolutely love it there.

We will be on the Dining plan. Just the basic. We did the Deluxe in January and loved it. It was a lot of food. I think we were able to eat more, though, because it was cold. I know in the summer months, we are barely hungry, so we decided that the basic will be perfect.

Here is where we will be eating!
Sci-Fi- A must for us. We will be having lunch here

Beirgarten- Another must. We will be having dinner here.
Nine Dragons- This is our first time trying it. This is a dinner
Chefs de France- Dinner. A must!
Brown Derby- another must for dinner
Boma- for breakfast
Jiko- for dinner. We fell in love with this place in January. So good.
Ohana- Hello, a must do, lol.
Kona- Love it. Dinner.
Coral Reef- Lunch. Love it here as well.

So the only new place we will be trying is Nine Dragons. Our friends have eaten there before and they loved it, so we figured we would try it.

That's all I have for now. I will post our plans soon. If you of you have been in early June before and have been to Star Wars days, I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

Hi! You will love it. It is so beautiful there. The atmosphere is amazing. Are you staying in Jambo House? We love Jambo. Jiko and Sci Fi are two of our favorites.

Woo hoo, first page! :thumbsup2 Like I said on FB-- so glad you decided to do a PTR! Also, that's AWESOME that your trip works out so you can see Wishes and the new summer show (well, I guess the Electric Light Parade isn't NEW, but you know what I mean)!!

Me too. I love doing them and I am glad I will have time to do one for this trip.

We are lucky that we get to see Wishes and the new fireworks. I am looking forward to the parade as well. OOH and in DHS, TOT is supposed to have a new drop sequence and some new lighting effects.

We were going to go to Universal on this trip for a day because we thought that HP would be open, but we will miss the grand opening by a couple days. We will just go next May.

Can't wait to read all about your plans!!

:goodvibes

Hi! Thanks! It is good to be back.

A Lynn and Tim report! :cool1: Can't wait to read - so I AM IN!!!

Hey!!! Glad you are here.

Glad you decided to do a PTR! Looking forward to hearing your plans. :goodvibes

Hi, Em! Did you start your TR?

So happy to have you back Lynn!!!! :) I have missed
your reports!

Tracy

Hi, Tracy!! Thanks. I am glad I can share this one with you.

Yay, Lynn! So glad you decided to do a PTR!!!! I'm definitely in. :)

Hey you! Too bad I am not going to get to HP! Booo. I know you were hoping I would go. We miss it by like a couple days. We will go next May.
 
I'm in! I didn't comment a lot on your January PTR, but I was disappointed that you didn't do a TR! Great pictures, especially of the Osborne lights. And I LOVE :love: the one with Donald!
 
Yay Lynn! Glad you're back! :goodvibes

Love your ADRs. I am thinking about eating at 'Ohana for the first time (I've only been for breakfast, and I want to try their dinner!) when we go in November.
 
haha not yet... I really wanted to because the wedding TRs were so helpful to me in providing vendor reviews and figuring out what to expect, so I wanted to return the favor. Plus, we had a great trip that I wanted to share. :goodvibes But between your photobucket trouble and some stories I'd heard from other people, I became sort of became weary of posting pics. But coincidentally, I had just decided this week to create a new photobucket account that did not have my name in it, so I could do a TR with a tad more privacy. It will all be out there still...but you won't find it if you google my name, etc.

So look for a TR in the coming days! :thumbsup2
 
Day 1 Plans

Yup, three parks in a day. This crazy girl can do it, lol.

Our flight is at 6:10 A.M. I love flying down really early. We may have to take a mid-day nap, though. It depends on how we feel.

When we get to DHS, we have to renew our annual passes. They are doing the 15 month annual pass, so we are happy about that. :woohoo:

We are having lunch at......

After lunch who knows what we will do. If we are tired we may just head back to the resort to unpack and maybe take a nap, then head over to Epcot for dinner.

We are having dinner at......

After dinner, we will head over to the MK. Wishes is going to be at 11 P.M. We cannot wait to go on Splash. It was closed down in January. It looked so odd..

Up Next. Day 2 plans.
