And They Lived Happily Ever After - A June '11 Disneymoon TR! THE END - NEW PTR!

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

adorable purchases and super great pictures!
I am so excited to see the new HM!

Thanks! The new queue is really neat! It definitely helps to pass the time!

We are in Brookhaven!

I am enjoying your TR so far. The Poly is one of my favorites too!

Oh wow! We're not too far from each other then. So glad you're enjoying the report!

Great update, as always, Courtney! Auuuugh, tour groups! They should hire paid chaperones to watch those kids in no more than groups of five. The numbers in which the congregate are ridiculous! I hope we avoid them in August!
Love those bag clips-- I've never been in that store before! Definitely will have to pop in!

I completely agree! I can't believe that there's only one adult for a huge group of kids. It doesn't make sense whatsoever!

I have been reading about that Aloha Pork Sandwich...I am definitely trying that on my next trip!

I cannot imagine being mushed in between a large tour group in line like that -- especially pirates where it's so echo-y!

I'm so glad we were only in the middle of them for a few minutes. I couldn't have handled it much longer! I can still hear them screaming now.

So glad you enjoyed the queue at HM

sad to hear that both mountains you wanted to ride were down- how crazy is that?

Glad to hear that your lunch was good though! It looks like it was delicious

We were so frustrated with both Space and Splash being down. What a waste of FPs!

I enjoyed the new addition to HM, as well, it was cute.
Oh no! I can't believe both Mountains were closed! Especially since you had FPs for the two. That was a bummer, but it was nice to see you two got to relax and eat a tasty lunch instead.

I'm glad I've never seen the Kitchen Store before! I would spend way too much in there. I might have to search for those bag clips, though, they looked really cute!

I had to restrain myself from buying more in the kitchen store than I did! I could have spent way too much, too!

I love that kitchen store! Stumbled across it on our last trip when it was too COLD to stay outside I think your DH is getting really use to you snapping Trip Report pictures---he is like a pro TR model now! ha!

My DH had the pulled pork sand. from Captain Cooks, and really liked it. Can't wait to hear about your next adventure

PS: I booked POR/FQ for...wait for it...not ONE but TWO trips More info this weekend (hopefully get a PTR up!)

Haha, yeah Miguel can be quite the model sometimes! I'm so excited to hear that you booked PO - twice! I can't wait for the PTR!

Great update! I love the new HM queue (well, from what I've seen in pictures!), I can't wait to see it in person!

I don't think I've ever been inside that kitchen store in MK...we always walk by, but never go in, it's so cute!

Ugh, those tour groups sound obnoxious! I'm glad you got to go on a quieter boat!

Aww, your little photo shoot was so cute! I agree though, when they make you do weird poses, it's a little embarrassing! On PP photographer did that to us on our Disneymoon, and I felt so stupid! But at least you get some cute pictures out of it!

We were surprised that more PP photographers didn't try to play up the whole honyemoon thing (I think maybe 2 asked us to kiss), but this guy more than made up for it. He went overboard!

Hi Courtney,

Sounded like a fun day in Magic Kingdom - loved how you described the Cast Member 'rescuing' you two from the sea of Brazilians! Nice that they noticed we saw a few groups while we were there but we're getting good at making sure we get to an attraction before they do or choosing a different ride to go on hehe

I love all the Disney cookware - our kitchen is probably the most Disney room in our house, I have a lot of the classic Mickey range!

I wondered if the tour groups would be bad for you guys, too. They seemed to thin out towards the end of our trip, thank goodness. I want more Disney stuff for my kitchen now! It's all so fun!

I'm just like you Courtney - I hate spending money on souvenirs that will never get used. Currently the only ones I have spent any money on are a rare couple of t-shirts, a travel mug and (my favorite of all favorites) a Camera strap

I'm super excited to check out the kitchen store since I've seriously gotten into cooking lately!

I think the kitchen items are a great purchase since they can be used everyday. There is some really neat stuff in the kitchen stores/departments. I did branch out and buy a couple of t-shirts this time though, and I'm so glad I did. I've already gotten a ton of use out of them!

Hi Everyone!

I'd like to take break from my regularly scheduled updating to point out my shiny new ticker!!! Yes, we've already got our next trip to Disney in the works! I normally don't mention anything about my next trip until I finish up a TR, but sine I know this TR is going to be kind of long and because the new trip is now less than 6 months away, I couldn't wait to put up a ticker! I will of course be doing a PTR, but I'll wait until this one is finished up since I discovered during my honeymoon PTR/November TR that I don't like having multiple reports to update. This is going to be a bit of a different Disney trip for us (you might notice my ticker says "Disney like it used to be" ), so it should mean lots of exciting new planning topics, and I hope you will join in on the PTR when the time comes!

I was planning on getting an update up tonight, but I spent the last hour on the phone with Disney, so I'm feeling a bit behind. I promise to be back tomorrow to post an update and catch up on your reports! I hope everyone has had a great weekend!

How exciting for another trip!!!

 

[dreamerchic33]

What exciting news! Taking some guesses here- Will you be staying at POFQ or perhaps some DVC news? Can't wait to find out!

 

[IheartDDuck]

Yay! A new ticker!

 

[Princess_K]

Woo hoo for another trip! How exciting for you!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Very exciting!!!

 

[ronnmel]

Another trip, how exciting!

I'm really curious as to "what it used to be" means, and what all the new discussion topics will be.

[Mrs T 2009]

WooHoo!!!!!

YAY for another Disney Trip!!! I can not wait to hear about "disney like it used to be"- sounds exciting!!!

And Can not wait for your next update either

My weekend was good- I had my final day at my job I have had for the past 6.5 years. Now onto better things and being able to stay "home" with my son
Hope you had a great weekend!

 

[reelmom]

How awesome to have another trip to plan.

 

[DisneyCrafter]

I'm guessing by like it used to be you're either bringing other family along and/or "winging" it without ADRs. So exciting!

 

[Kelly in NY]

Just joining in.. You and Miguel look so cute together. Congratulations!

 

[arbolita]

Ahhh congrats on another trip! I'm so jealous!!

 

[RobinHoodGirl]

Joining... can't wait to see your adventures in WDW!

And Congratulations on your wedding!

 

[klacey1]

Lucky!! I'm excited for your next PTR!!

 

[disneybarbie]

Very jealous you have another trip in the works Courtney!
Now that wedding and honeymoon are getting further away, I think the post-disney-blues are definitely starting to setting in.. especially as my parents & aunt and uncle are going to WDW in a few weeks time!
