[BippityBoo]

OH my gosh!! You take the most amazing pictures!!! Do you remember how much those glass slippers were? I am just a little obsessed I heart chocolate muffins too

 

[photographymom517]

I caught up on all of your updates! I really hope I'm as efficient as you are with updating my trip report. lol I actually started it today (without pictures, I'm going to add them tomorrow or Thursday). You should read it & compare the crowd levels & wait-times from when you were there a week earlier!

I was sad that we didn't get to see Chip & Dale at all during our trip. The lines for them were just always waaay too long. It was nice to see them in your trip report! And I agree with Tim...I am not a fan of the new Tomorrowland outfit!

Love your pictures of the rose garden! Did you ever take photography courses or did you just learn from experience? (Just curious because I am looking into taking some classes this spring!) I'm not sure I even saw the rose garden on our trip...I'm sure it was hidden behind a thousand people!

I agree with you...the TTA is a very relaxing ride & a great place to get photos!

I will be honest. I was one of the people completing freaking out about ToonTown...yes, a 27 year old freaking out because Toontown was disappearing forever. I was really upset about it & stressed about how many people would probably be in the houses & I wouldn't get good pictures blah blah blah! I made it a point to tell my DH that we would go into the houses multiple times throughout our trip! Guess what? I LOVE the new ideas for the Fantasyland expansion! After seeing those huge murals & reading the descriptions, I am soooo excited to see it!!! I am still a little disappointed because I do enjoy Toontown & I really wanted my son to be able to remember being there (he's 2 right now so he won't remember our trip this year or last year). But after being at MK and seeing those murals on the construction walls, I am really really excited to see all of the new attractions! Fantasyland will be AMAZING!!!

Great Photopass pictures! I really liked all of them.

I am sooo hungry now that I saw your pictures from the bakery! I usually stop there every trip but this time, it was so humid that we decided for ice cream instead. It was really neat too because my son dropped his ice cream on the ground & within about 3 seconds, 2 ladies came over (while I was cleaning it up with a napkin) and said "Don't worry about it, we'll get it" and one of them put a napkin overtop of it & the other swept it up into her broom! It was funny to watch. I looked over to my DH and said "If this was back home, that mess would be in the middle of the street for weeks!"

Can't wait to read more of your trip report!!!

You take such great pictures!

Astro Orbiter is horrible. I freak out on that ride which is why I refuse to go on it anymore.

Yumm MSB! I really want a chocolate muffin now

 

[arubio0801]

That street cleaner is soo cool I've haven't seen that since I was a kid. Look's like you had a great!! Can't wait to read more Lynnie!

That ride was my favorite when I was little. The part with the train coming at you totally scared me. HAHA!

Me too!

We got into the habit of anytime my dad drove like a maniac screaming, "It's Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!" We are still doing it!

Beautiful, beautiful pictures from the rose garden! My favorite one is the one with the rose in focus in the foreground and the castle in the background!

Okay, I am drooling from those bakery pictures! Yum! Yum! Yum!

I think we may need to try Cosmic Ray's on this trip -- I want one of those BLT wraps!

 

[klacey1]

Fabulous update-- totally with you on Astro Orbiters. I have zero desire to set foot on that ride.
I think the HM is one of the best rides to be on during a breakdown-- there's so much to look at!
I love the sepia picture of you and Tim looking at each other-- it came out really cute!

 

[dancin_princess]

I love the bow in your hair. The guy looking over Tim's shoulder made me laugh. Space Mountain makes my head hurt too. I always take some Ibuprofen before riding cause I thought I was the only one it happened to. I will miss Toontown but I'm excited for the new changes. I love the TTA too. Its just so calming. I have never rode the "dreaded ride". I absolutely love your pictures. My pictures could never turn out that good, but maybe that's cause I have a lil point and shoot - but I'm happy with it.

 

[Disneychix]

Great pics in the Rose garden. The one of the close-up on the rose with the castle in the background reminds me of Beauty and the Beast! It looks like the Beast's rose

Ok, on SM I don't see a hidden mickey at all! Not at all

 

[dallastxcpa]

Great pictures. My favorite is the one with the rose in the foreground and the castle in the back ground.

 

[Brave teacher]

Completely agree!!!! Toy Story 3 was just amazing!

I’m glad to hear you got AKV-concierge for your “Dream” vacation! We’ll do it one day.

Great time on the race! Your PP pictures came out great! Laughing at the pic in China though…

I’m with Tim. I don’t particularly care for the new Tomorrowland outfits for Chip & Dale. It is so funny that someone smelled a bit “off.” Love Space Mountain!! It has been so long since we have ridden the tea cups. We are looking forward to the expansion as well.

Totally agree with Wednesdays at the MK. We have always had a wonderful day there. Your pics from your day around the MK are just wonderful!

 

[princess_momma]

Wait! What? There is something about the attraction on the Little Mermaid DVD. I have it! OOh, I have to watch it.

Of course, it's all rumors for now, but I have heard that whats on the dvd isn't what's going to be in WDW. I think it might be in DL but that WDW will be all new. Not sure though...just what I heard!

I love your PP pics girl! You guys are too cute. I can't wait to try Space finally! I don't even care if it's jerky! lol.

P.S. I saw the Backstreet Boys on Tuesday night! I was thinking of you girl! They were so good! It was amazing! They did most of their old hits and a few new ones! I was on cloud 9! Also, they each had these little clips where they were put into movies-Howie was some racing movie (Too Fast Too Furious, maybe?), AJ was the Fight Club (and made it all BSBed out...as in "The first rule of the Backstreet Boys Fan Club is you don't talk about the Backstreet Boys Fan CLub), Nick did the Matrix...and Brian did....can you guess?


Hmm...

ENCHANTED!!!! He played the prince and it was the cutest thing ever! It made my night! He's my fav, though closely followed by Nick. And Brian's son introduced them it was so cute...he's just the most adorable little boy and was like "do you guys like the Backstreet Boys? They're right behind this curtain!" haha it was just so great!!

Hope you're having a good week!

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

Love the update! That picture of you and Tim looking at each other is SO cute. Usually, I totally agree...the looking at each other pics are really cheesy but that one turned out so well.

 

[mansionterror]

We probably walked in to Cosmic Ray's about 11:00 so we may have still been in there!!

Loved this update, funny it is like we walked the same path after lunch. Colby saw PUSH in that same spot and my DH and I couldn't find the guy either, however on Friday we walked with PUSH over the bridge to the hub for the parade and I knew exactly where the guy was.

I love the HM pics I never get any good photos on that ride. We love Laugh Floor, we went there on Friday and DH was put up on the screen as the guy who was buying churros. Funny!

 

[peanmunch]

not to hijack this thread...but there seems to be some PUSH fans here...he has his own facebook fan page... http://www.facebook.com/pages/Push-...h-the-Talking-Trashcan/107335365963176?v=info

I just stumbled across your tr and WOW!! I am HOOKED! I can't wait for another update!

 

[Disneylove1228]

Lynn, I love love love your Rose Garden pics... beautiful.

I also love your pics of Splash mtn with the lake in front of it... with water on splash! Just like it should be! hahaha! I caught up.... very cute updates!!! your pictures are beautiful love your black dress... where did you get it?

 

[tinkgurl]

I'm catching back up now! I have to say your bow is adorable. And I am so glad you got a shot of the hidden Mickey from going up the hill on Splash. It can be hard to notice, but with this picture, anyone can take the time to find it!

 

[KristinAnne]

I am echoing everyone else...great pictures! I love the one where you focused on the rose and the castle is out of focus in the background.

 

[Mycuteboyz3]

Great update and I hope you're not tired of hearing this but your pictures are so beautiful. The one with the red rose and the castle in the background is my absolute fave.

 

[Jessbell34]

Hey Lynn! It has been FOREVER since I have been on the boards. I can't believe it! It was so nice to see that you are still kickin it on here. I always love your trip reports. I love your Lotso pic and your Ariel and Eric pic. So super cute! Your reports always make me want to plan another Disney trip right away. This year will be the first year since 2003 that my hubby and I will not be going! So sad! We are expecting our first child in August (It's a BOY!), so it is not possible to go this year! I am living the Disney life through you though! Keep the posts coming so I can get my Disney World fix!
