Yay, cinnamon roll! I will refrain from drooling and/or licking the computer screen. (insert drooling smilie face here)

Yay! You've started your TR already! I can't wait to read it when I get home from our trip on Sunday!
Thanks! I absolutely love your avatar! What ballet performance is the picture from? It's absolutely gorgeous![]()
Great TR!![]()
Have you stayed at the POP before? We were there last July and really loved it! I have to say, I think it is my favourite value resort.
And you're right! The departing flight is always worse than the return. It's funny because on the flight there I was like "if I'm going to die in a plane crash, PLEASE let it be on the way home so at least I'll spend my last few days in WDW!"![]()
Day One
Finally we had landed safely in Orlando! We didnt have to wait in the Magical Express lineup at all because we had our little blue book so we got waved right through to the red carpet. I was thrilled to see that we had one of the nicely decorated ME buses.

The first Disney feeling I get of every trip is watching this screen with Mickey flying away over and over and over again.

When we got inside there was quite a lineup at the cash so we decided to use one of these handy little touch screen machines.

Unfortunately, by the time we realized wed have to join the main line, a show of the Country Bears Jamboree had let out so the line was now huge.
Once we were done licking our fingers (dont worry, we washed and sanitized them first, see the little bottle in the picture?)
After only a few minutes in line, I had boarded my first Disney ride of 2009! I made my mom take a picture of this momentous occasion and it took her so long that the little gate/door thing closed on her before she could get to the train. I was just so excited to be on the ride that I kind of waved at her thinking she would take the next one and Id see her at the exit. She wasnt ready to be left behind so easily and the CM noticed she was with me (umm remember we were wearing matching shirts? LOL) and opened the gates back up. She was not too happy that I was ready to venture out on the wildest ride in the wilderness without her! Whoops!
Riding BTMRR at night is so magical! The moon and a few stars were out, and while I was looking at the moon, it seemed so nice to me that it was the same moon I would be looking at if I were staring out my bedroom window at home. Kind of comforting to know that no matter where you are, you can still look up and see the same sky. Getting a little too philosophical for a coaster, eh?
I got a bit of a kick out of the fact that the two options were English and Spanish unlike up here in Canada where they would be English and French.

Does it really get any better than that?
I know what you mean about riding BTMR at night, it IS magical! I haven't done it at night in the Magic Kingdom but I have done it at Disneyland. It was during Christmas too so you could see all the pretty lights flashing past you.
I had to laugh at your Mom almost getting left behind on BTMR, very nice of the CM to open the gates back up for her.
I feel the same way about the turkey legs. Something about gnawing on an animal leg like that really doesn't appeal to me. I'm sure there delicious, but I think I'd have to be starving to even consider one of those.
We love Peco Bill's! Any place you can get all you can eat cheese sauce is a huge hit w/ DH.You're so nice about not going to the other side of the register. When food is involved, my standards go out the window!
I would've jumped to the other side.
Love your pictures, especially the night ones. Nice!
I love the lantern picture. They are so cute. I think I have to ride that at night, it sounds really nice.
Relaxing in Frontierland at night sounds like a really good idea and you took some very nice photos.
I'm stressing big time about the crowds....
hahahahahaThats exactly what my mom says when she goes on vacation.. she told me she always says "At least let me get there an enjoy my vacation before I die" hehe
and NO we haven't stayed there. My DH and I have soft spot for ASMo, idk why we just really really love it. It was also our first onsite resort- so that could be another reason to. I love ASMo because all the themes are towards the movies.. which is what I love. So it feels like it disney characters everywhere.. plus I like the food court and how everything is decorated.. so its the best to us. This time I asked DH where he wanted to stay- I said I think we should stay somewhere new- but I don't want ASSpo.. I'm not really a sport fan and it seems to old. So I said Pop Century or ASMu... Him-"I want movies again" That was not an option. Eventually after hearing him wine I said. I want to try different resorts and eventually try all of them.. or most of them.. so we are doing a different one- it will be exciting. He finally said Pop Century then because its newest. So Pop it is! I actually really excited because I have been wanting to stay here for years- I've heard sooo many good thing about it.
I have a question- what section or building theme do you like? I have been looking at pictures but its hard to make difference of them. I think I like the 60s-hippie buildings.. but idk. What did you like?
I just found your report and am having a great time reading it! I have a question tho - what is the little blue book you were referring to? I've only taken ME twice (last year) and the first time we got thru the line very quickly and onto the bus to BWV but the last trip the line was HUGE and waited almost 30 minutes. I would love to know how you got to pass by the ME line. Thanks!
I love all your scenery pics and I love the new express order.. I will definitely use those!!![]()
I've never seen these before! You can use them if you have DDP/Snack credits?! Was there much of a line for the machine?
Ugh, of course the Jamboree had let out. Talk about perfect timing.
Haha, I see the hand saniziter!
Ahhh I can't wait to see this again!
Haha! You remind me of myself. I always think..."Oh my gosh, this is my first ride of the trip!" Poor mom.
Okay, we seriously think alike!
Hey! You found our favorite path!
Joining, what a great TR! You have a true talent for writing, very detailed and descriptive. (You must have gotten it from your Mom)
Cant wait til the next update!![]()
Ah! I am so happy you had such a magical first night!I've never eaten at Pecos Bill's...maybe we should! Poor mom having the gate close on her! But since she made it on your ride, I guess it's ok to laugh now!
I'm impressed--what a great philosophical moment. But I must say, it made me think of Fifel (or however you spell it) singing "Somewhere Out There..."
Your night pictures from Frontierland were GORGEOUS! I can't wait to see your Wishes pictures and hear all about your first night!
Yes, I know what you mean. I am so used to English/French than it kinds of throws me off when I am in the US
Did you use all of the sanitizers and wipes that you brought down?
I am going to try and ride BTMRR at night, sounds so magical! Actually, your whole TR sounds wonderful.
No, I don't think that it gets any better than that! I can't wait to experience the magic.![]()
