An October 2012 trip in the making Update 10/4 - Final update

[scottny]

Out of curiosity, why not renew your AP since you are DVC members? Do you plan to travel elsewhere using the DVC points? Even if you spend only 1 week at a DVC resort, the cost to enter the parks for that week would cost more than an AP, wouldn't it?

We are renewing it. I was always renewing mine but Vinny was not but the difference is $100 so now he is. Yes next year we might get there once. Hoping for Europe next year again.
No points elsewhere but have used our points up.

How fun that Vinny's granddaughter will be joining you!!!

Yeah. She is 18 so she can be a ride buddy for me.

Sounds like another fun trip!

That's great that Vinny's granddaughter will be there!

Can't wait to see AoA pics. We might stay there in Feb. I just can't decide! Hannah wants to stay in a Nemo room, but the suites are pricey since it will just be two of us.
It was nice to see your CSR pics, I think we are going to a conference in July at CSR, so looks like we will be staying there.

My MK top 5 are:
Big Thunder Mtn RR
Teacups
Pirates
Jungle Cruise
TTA

Jacob rode jungle cruise so many times the last trip he even had the same guide twice.
I think he has most of the jokes memorized. Luckily my husband doesn't know enough to realize they are jungle cruise jokes.




Hope you go in February! I will be there Wed the 20th to Mon the 25th. I am signed up for the princess half.





I am not a huge water park fan, but I really enjoyed the lazy river at Typhoon Lagoon.
The shark reef was really cool, but very short.
I went down one slide and hated it! They dumped cold water over you constantly.

Hi there.
We are excited she will be there.
The suites are really pricey if you ask me. I want to stay in a Lion King suite.
CSR was a great resort. So pretty.
Good choices. I have never been on teacups, afraid of dizziness.
I can only do JC once or maybe twice a trip.
It doesn't look like February will be happening but you never know.
That is what I thought I would like. I might tell Aubrey to convince him to go.

Hi! Saw you had subscribed to my TR and thought I would check your PTR out. Looks like we will be at WDW on the same dates. Wish mine was going to be as long as yours, we go the 11-13th of October.

As for favorite water park, I love Typhoon Lagoon. The Coasterblaster is so much fun and the Wave pool is the greatest.

And I wasn't sure about your pole. I have only done Cirque Du Soleil, so I would recommend it.

And I love all the changes, just in that first post.

Hello,
Anytime there is a good time. if you see us say hello.
I am thinking of Cirque again and take Aubrey.
I might be changing again but Vinny says no. We shall see.

We are going in February too, would love to meet up for a drink if you end up going during that time.

 

[jmskinner]

I realized I forgot a couple of things. First, how did I not know about this Margarita? Is it like the Fiesta Margarita in Epcot? Where do you get it?

And my top 5 at MK
1. Splash Mountain
2. BTMRR
3. Space Mountain
4. Peoplemover
5. Haunted Mansion

it is but not as strong and delicious. next to studio catering in DHS by the backlot tour.

WOW!! No POTC. Oh the peoplemover is so fun.

Day 5:
This is the day for the main reason of the trip, our annual friends’ dinner. This is the 5th year and I am so excited for it. First let’s get there.

MAGIC KINGDOM.

That magical place that most of us remember going to as kids. It is not my favorite park(Epcot wins that) but it is 2nd. I have so many memories here of both and new. So here is the plan.

Breakfast will be in the room. Then we will try to go for rope drop at MK. Neither of us have ever seen it so that would be fun to see.

The things to do inside will be.

• POTC
• Transit Authority.
• Splash Mountain (for me).
• Jungle Cruise
• Buzz (if I can get him on it)

.

We will go back to the resort around 1 so we can swim a little and pack up. The following day we move to CBR.

Then we will meet everyone at Whispering Canyon for our dinner. Usually we choose quieter places but this year we will have kids at the dinner so I thought this would be fun to do and also the biggest kid Buzz (montanadisneyfan) here.

After the dinner we will most likely go to a park. MK will be out being MNSSHP will be going on. Maybe we can go to the Poly and watch Wishes from there. We shall decide then.

Then that is it for this day.

Up next,

Day 6

 

[winkers]

One of these years I'm going to make it to Ip Dip! It may be the 20th annual ip dip, but I'll be there.

 

[jmskinner]

I bet you have a blast at Whispering Canyon, it is one of our favorites. Except they don't serve the chicken nuggets my son eats.

Sounds like a wonderful night. Wishes from the beach will be nice. On Main Street is my favorite location, but have fond memories of watching from the Poly.

 

[Charleston Princess]

I can't wait to hear the stories from Whispering Canyon!

I have never been there so am really looking forward to it.
The later plans are still being worked out. We shall see.

I hope Buzz orders ketchup.

 

[ATLTruebie]

Scott,
My head is spinning, changes, changes and more changes. I voted and it is now a tie for Italy and Hoop. That will be nice to have a visit with Vinny's grandaughter, Your 5th annual ip dip, wow. Everything sounds great but, I am ready to hear more changes probably up until...

 

[PrincessAlways]

POTC is a must do for me too!!
Transit Auth is a yes
Splash Mt...??? yes & no...it depends on the day & how I feel about getting wet!!
Jungle Cruise...yes & hope for a good boat capt!
Buzz....not for me

We have an ADR for WCC this trip. I've never been there before...what's with asking for ketchup? Does watching Wishes from the Poly beach include a Lapu Lapu??

I haven't forgotten about trying to meet up this year!! We arrive in the evening on the 16th staying at POR (ROYAL ROOM....I'm such a princess!!). We might go over to DTD. The next day we'll be in Epcot. That's all I know so far.

I like change. We did make a change the other day but you must wait for the next update for that.

I feel the same way of SPlash Mountain.
this will be our first trip there. Ask for it and see what happens.
The last time I watche dit there it did.
That si where we were going to stay but decided on CBR being we had never been. I love POR.
Did I give you my number? You can text me if you have a free moment to say hello.

 

[PrincessAlways]

Yes Scott, I do have your number. We talked on FB. Do you still have mine? This trip it is my quest to meet up with you!! We always seem to miss each other by a few days.

 

[Native NYer]

I need to catch up! I hate when work gets in the way of important stuff.

 

[scottny]

Okay. I have given it to so many I forget. LOL

bad work.

 

[scottny]

It is a tie so I guess I get to choose.

 

[scottny]

We will probably sleep in a little today and then we will find ourselves at my least favorite park again, Hollywood Studios. It will not be long as we move to a new resort on this day. CBR.

I got preferred and requested Martinique and hope we get it. So when I say we will sleep in this means we will be out of the room no later than 9.

Then our day begins going to DHS and depending on time we will see what we can do. Maybe a drawing or see Little Mermaid.

At 11:30 we have plans for lunch. Our dining choice will be.

I look forward to eating here again. Not sure what I will be ordering except for the PB&J shake. LOL

After this we will head over to Caribbean Beach resort and check in. Hopefully the room will be ready and we can relax and maybe swim.

Around 5ish we will go to Magic Kingdom and grab dinner at a counter service and then just walk around and go on some rides.

Then we shall return to the hotel for magical dreams.

Up next,

Day 7 plans (not so long of a wait for it).

 

[tazdev3225]

I love CBR. I've stayed in Aruba all 3 times I've stayed there and loved the area and the walk to Old Port Royale.

Your day 6 is my day to go home. I don't have to catch ME til around 4 so I will be going to a park, alone. Just haven't decided which one.

You can hang with us if you want. What time is your bus? I can add u onto the adr if you want.

 

[kde175]

Sorry, I'm late to the party...

I love reading your TRs. Our trip overlap next month, too. We'll be at AOA on the 6th and VWL until the 14th.

Looking forward to reading more!
