So we left for florida on tuesday the 20th our plane left at 12:30 and we arrived at our hotel around three. our room at SSR was ready when we got there! we were in the Paddock I thought SSR was great except for the buses and the food court. it had no options and the buses took forever! we waited for a studios bus for 60min!!!

We decided to go to port orleans for Dinner and off to the poly for Wishes on the beach.

Me, my sis, and my DBF were racing to make it for the fireworks thinking they were at nine when it turns out they were at ten!!!!

But while we waited we enjoyed so drinks from the pool side bar! it was a great ending to the first day!




on the 21st we headed to Hollywood studious

we arrived around nine and headed for tower of terror then hit R&R and tower again! then we walked back to toystory mania but it was not open:(


we Had lunch at the Sci Fi dinner which was very good

I bought myself one of those tiny crowns you see the BBB girls wearing and the castmember who rang me up was Santiago and after I paid for it he actually said attention every one I am pleased to present PRINCESS KATIE!!!
it was too cool!
We eventually hit everything in the Park and watched Fantasmic!! While in line I actually had a somewhat BAWB moment we were next to a lady in an ECV vehicle and she was running in to the back of peoples heels because they got in the way! I know BAWB wouldn't do this but it made me think of one of his segments!

Sounds like you had a great time! I can wait to try Toy Story...now you've made me even more excited for it. Also, if Bawb's pin just happens to fall into my lap one day I'll know who to thank. :goodvibes
 
What a great trip you had! Time goes by so quickly when you're there, doesn't it?

How did you like SSR for the most part? My DBFF's daughter & son may be staying there in August (their first trip) and hope they will enjoy it (they were hoping for Beachclub but it's booked so have to "settle" for SSR). I'm worried about the bus situation (we got spoiled staying at BWV in late January and love being able to walk to at least 2 parks).
 
just make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get to the parks it sometimes takes a while!!!
 

Sounds like you had alot of fun. How were the rooms at SSR? We went over to shop last trip but have never seen a room. It looks very pretty at night.
 
the room was great!I have pics but they don't really do it justice. we had a two bedroom it was awesome!
 
Sounds like you had a great trip - I can't believe you got to ride Toy Story so many times!!!!!! That is great. The worst part about a WDW trip is always having to come home! The best part about coming home is you get to start planning your next trip to the World!:thumbsup2

Can't wait - 31 days until BCV/WL!!!! I will have to give a trip report!
 
kerjhreg all your pictures are making me miss Disney so hard:( I hcant wait for my photopass pictures so I can start my freakin TR lol
 
This is so great, Katie. I am seeing the need for pictures in a trip report. They add so much.

I don't have a digital camera. Is there a way to do it with regular pictures?

have you already gotten the pics developed if not you can opt. to have them put on to a cd as well as print them

they might be able to take the negatives and make a cd after wards but I am not sure about that then the only other way I know is to scan them but this is not always the best way?!
