Well, hello.

Welcome to my pre-trippie, which is a result of being insanely bored in class. And me being mad excited about our trip, of course. I have most of the planning done, so what is there to do than read other tr's or write my own?

A little History

I've been to wdw 3 times before. 2 of which i was too little to remember. The third, which was last summer, happened with much opposition from me. I was convinced that wdw was for little kids and it would be boring, i would feel stupid, you know, all the regular teen stuff. I ended up having a pretty good time, but hated the crowds, the long waits, and intense heat. In january, when the possiblility of a 2007 trip came up, i wanted to be prepared. I began researching and discovered the disboards, as well as TGM, and then my obsession began.

The Cast​
DM (mom): :worried: My mom is a chronic worrier, but even more to my dismay, a yeller. And things like vacations really send her over the top. She gets so stressed for no apparent reason. I'm not looking forward to hearing her yell at us to pick up our clothes in wdw, or her yelling at me while walking down main street in mk. Especially not being aloud to go on my favorite roller coasters, because she worries something bad could happen. I also think i should be aloud in the parks alone with my sister this year, but if we even make the slightest remark about that, she threatens to cancel our vacation:scared:

DF(dad): :faint: All he wants to do on this vacation is rest. Hard to break it to ya dad, but wdw is not the place for rest. Sure, we'll take afternoon breaks, but if he was planning this vacation, we'd sleep in everyday, lay by the pool in the afternoon, and hit the parks at night. I'm sorry, but we won't possible avoid the crowds that way, ntm see very little. He can be fun when he wants to be, though. He's very loud and sometimes obnoxoious when he gets enough rest. My mom thinks he has some form of hyperactivity or ocd. I'm afraid to say he is the cause of the majority of my moms stress and yelling haha. He thinks me and my sister are old enough to be in the parks by ourselves.

DSis(14) :rolleyes2 Kristy is just not interested in wdw, it seems. I'm pretty sure she's dreading going this summer because of the heat. She hates being hot and complains about waking up early too. She might hinder my plans a bit, but hopefully i will be able to motivate her.

Me!(15):ccat: I can't believe i typed that. I'm actually 16, i just tend to forget sometimes (and maybe im just a tad in denial). I had a wonderful Alice in Wonderland themed Sweet Sixteen in march. Maybe i should post some pictures. It was the best night of my life so far. If you can't tell by now, i am quite into alice in wonderland.

As you can see, i have planned this trip alone. Hopefully everyone else will enjoy it.
 
I think writing a pre-trippie is an excellent use of class time. :thumbsup2

On your mom and thrill rides, maybe you could explain to her that you are much more likely to be injured in a car accident than on a rollercoaster. I assume she lets you go in cars. Those things have major safety checks.

Ooooh, Alice in Wonderland. I would love to see pics of your party. It sounds so cute.
 
June 18-27

Depart Philly 2pm
Check in at Shades of Green
Eat at their buffet
And then the studios for the second showing of Fantasmic! (Which btw i havent seen yet. I am excited.

Day 2
Since we were out late last night we'll sleep in and then go to Typhoon Lagoon. Later we'll be at the studios again and we have an 8:35 ADR at the sci-fi.

I feel like going shopping for wdw. Do you guys do that before a trip? I dont feel like seeing the same clothes in the pictures that were in the pictures last year haha.

ugh i just tried to post a picture from my party but my post count is too low.

You will just have to get posting more about your trip then. :thumbsup2

You are going to love Fantasmic! It is Disney at its best.

I totally buy new clothes before vacay. Usually, I just get a few, but I told DF that I need a whole new wardrobe for our honeymoon this year. He just rolled his eyes at me. Little does he realize that I am totally serious!
 
sorry i havent posted in a while, for some reason i cant do it in class anymore. I can read and post at all the others, but when i come to mine every few seconds a different screen flashes that says settings updating or something. So i have to post when im home, and i dont have nearly enough time. Either that, or it just says im not logged in whenever i try to post.

I'm finishing up my notebook now (next time i'll use a binder, ive realized they are much more practical) and im getting pretty sad :( My trip is almost here and its almost over! Looking forward to it is always the best part, haha. But im also sad about this school year ending. It's been easy. Next year is my junior year and i know im gonna have a ton more work with the psat and sat and standarized test and all that college crap. Plus i have no idea what i want to do with my life. I do know i want to do the disney college program though, haha ;)

My mom has decided to let us go on more roller coasters this year! i told her what you said mel. And even better, my sister and dad are gonna go on EE with me :eek: Thats so unlike them! im happy tho. I think it has to do with how these 4 or 5 year old twins next door got on it. One was clutching on his mom for dear life when the yeti came out! I guess they think if 5 year olds can do it, they can too.

Any harry potter fans? Theres gonna be a hp themed land at IOA! Thats like amazing. I can not wait for it.

Heres my day by day itinerary:
Monday: arrive. the Studios for Fantasmic
Tuesday: Waterpark day. the Studios in the evening and Sci-fi
Wednsday:MK. Epcot FW evening and Le Cellier
Thursday:AK
Friday: Epcot FW and Coral Reef
Saturday: Epcot WS and San Angel Inn
Sunday:MK
Monday: US and IOA
Tuesday: break day. waterpark or dd.
Wednesday: MK and leave.

I just wrote that from memory haha. I think i've been spending too much time doing this haha. I've also left a lot of open space for resting since my parents would freak if i didnt.

I am excited she agreed! That's great. I can't wait to do EE in September. I will have to hear your review.

So, do you know where you are eating during the trip?
 
8 days left! Ahhhhh! Thats pretty amazing. I'm almost out of school. I have finals tomorrow. Then out of school. It's kinda sad, really. I feel like im getting too old. Maybe its a good thing. No, no it isnt haha.

I still have a lot of work to do. Most of the park plans. Im not sure when im gonna do it. I have finals, a party, and then dress rehearsal and my dance recital this week! Looks like i'll be up late the night before our trip, lol. and I almost forgot i still have to pack.

Let's see, Mel, i have adr's at sci-fi, le cellier, san angel inn, the coral reef, and chef mickey's. I've only eaten at chef mickey's before. What do u think of these restaurants? I might cancel the sci-fi, cuz its for dinner and i heard they dont have burgers on the dinner menu, and thats the whole reason i wanted to go there. hmmm.

What kind of dance do you do?

As for ADR's, Chef Mickey's is the only one I have eaten at, too. But Coral Reef and Sci-Fi (lunch) are both in our plan, and we had Le Cellier, but then it didn't work with the schedule, so we had to cancel it. So, I think they look great. :laughing:

This year, i did ballet and hip-hop. I like hip-hop better haha. I want to do more next year.

Haha, we have like the same adrs.
 
Wooo we're leaving tomorrow. It hasnt sunk in yet though. I still have so much to do. I tried on all my summer clothes the other day only to realize that most dont fit or have gotten smaller! I'm not used to this. My clothes always fit and i always buy smalls :( I don't know why im growing so much its kinda depressing haha.

So i guess this will be my last post! See ya when i get back!
 
Please DO post pix of your Alice themed B-day, I would love to see that!!:) :ccat:
 
I had hoped to get in here to say goodbye, but it looks like I missed you. Hope you are having a wonderful time!
