Barbie and Ken do Disney Trip Report COMPLETED!!

That was a super good post! I am hooked now It makes me want to be back in Disney. Loved the video of the turtle how cute. You guys look like you are having so much fun. We are taking a small solo trip in April. (Without the three kids) Enjoy the solo trips when you can do everything you want to do! Oh its fun with kids just fun in a different way but still great! Keep it coming!:)
 
Just caught up with your installments. You are a great writer! Thanks for sharing your trip with us! What a great valentine's day! And I agree with everyone else, Todd is definately a keeper. (Just don't let him keep the room keys, LOL! ;) )

Great photos, too! Keep it coming! :happytv:
 
need more
please
 
Great review so far...except for the barfing part, that sucks! The first time I did MS was with my (now) DH and some friends in 2003...the other guy we were with and I were both fine...DH and the other girl, not so much. They never puked, but definitely didn't feel better after Universe of Energy as we all thought they would. Our friend Cara said the same thing you did, the giant screen at the end made her feel worse!:crazy2:
 

Great update! I'm excited to see we got TWO of them today!!!

SO sorry to hear about your experience on Mission:Space. I felt pretty sick afterwards, as did my husband. In fact, we tried to press on after that ride but he couldn't do it. We had to go back to our room. Glad to see you recovered, though.

Your Coral Reef dinner sounded very romantic! What a great way to spend VDay!

Can't wait for more! You two are too cute!
 
Blayne,
Finally caught up on your TR, and I am really enjoying it. So far you stayed in a resort I have only visited, and of all your meals I have only eaten at Earl of Sandwich and PH. So it is fun to see what you think of the other places. There really is something exciting about reading someone's opinions of WDW from a first timers point of view.
I also started dating my husband in HS, married with 3 adult children. We are still very much in love. Unfortunately he doesn't have my love for disney, but luckily he doesn't mind if I vacation with just the girls, ie friends and family. I do make sure I bring him every few years, maybe he'll become hooked too.:cool1:
 
The Beverly trick cracked me up!! I can't wait to trick my DH with that one on this trip!! Your MS experience leaves me to wonder if I can even handle the greenie weenie side of it, but I am vowing to not be such a chicken this time around. Luvin your TR girlie, keep 'em coming!!
 
I am soo loving this trip report, I'm hooked! :thumbsup2 I was wondering how you liked your crocs? Were they comfortable? I went last year for the first time and my feet were killing me at the end of each day while wearing sneakers! I am hoping to find more comfortable shoes this time and thought about trying them even though I think they are wicked ugly!
 
bourque29 - I wore the Croc flip-flops on our last trip and they were sooooo comfy!! Plus they aren't ugly!! :thumbsup2
 
Blayne, I am so glad you updated!! First, I am happy that your valentine's day got better! :thumbsup2 Too bad about Mission Space; let me tell you that ride will never see me again, even if there is a green side! The first and only time I rode it I felt so sick for the rest of the day :crazy2: I vowed never to ride that death trap again, I will stick to Test Track! Coral Reef sounded wonderful, I love that you are incorporating a dining report within your TR! And the picture of Todd after he drank the Beverly is priceless :rotfl2: I cannot wait to hear more about your trip! This TR rocks my socks! :thumbsup2
 
Hi Blayne! I just started finished reading your trip report up to now. I'm really enjoying reading all about your first trip to Disney and seeing all the wonderful pictures! It's making me anxious for my trips to hurry up and get here!
 
Hey Blayne,
I am so glad you had a happy Valentine's Day. Mine was spent shoveling almost 3 foot of snow. :scared: And at the moment it is 2 dgrees here so I am enjoying your warm and sunny trip.

Sorry to hear your day had a shaky beginning. I am a little obsessive/compulsive so as long as I am around there is no key forgetting. I don't ask - I check. Before we leave the room, as we leave the room and once more while waiting for the bus for good measure. :lmao:

I had to laugh at you thinking your head was going to fall into Todd's lap on MS. We rode this in 2004 and then again this past December. My response this time was "It wasn't as bad as I remembered. My cheeks hurt and I cried the whole time but it wasn't that bad" :rotfl2:

I am glad you enjoyed your romantic dinner at Coral Reef. We ate there and I think saw the same turtle. My daughter was extrememly concerned that it was dead. She was a little preoccupied during our whole dinner. :worried: WE never did see him move.

Keep the report coming.....
 
Great installments !!! Hopefully you'll be finished by the time I leave for my trip !!! I'll post my pretrippie by tomorrow morning !!!
 
I have enjoyed reading your report so far! I think that you and I are about the same age...it's so great to see someone else who hasn't 'outgrown' Disney either! So many people have joked around about my Disney addiction...and I have been successful in converting some of them! Congrats on your first trip (!) and trip report! Can't wait for more!
 
Oh Blayne!
More! More! More! I think you are the reason I get up and go to work! They actually think I am here to work!!
 
Reading your TR is making me want to write a pre trip report, even though we aren't leaving till december...

I'm loving it so far!! I am definatly going to use your trick on my husband with the beverly drink in epcot. but knowing him, he'll like it...:lmao:
 
Well, I finally browsed your thread and am totally loving it. You crack me up.

BTW, had my hubby forgot his ticket at any park, I would not have gone back to the resort with him. I would have went in the park and started having a bit of fun, meeting up with him later. But then, again, we've been married 10½ years and can get away with this! :bitelip:

Looking so forward to more of your posts!!!!!
 
Hi Blayne! boys....humph! I live with 3 and can tell you they forget EVERYTHING!!
can't wait to hear more! my 5 year old is loving your pictures!! he saw the epcot ball and was jumping with JOY!!

Hi! Im so glad that I could make your 5 year old happy!! When I saw the Epcot ball I was jumping for joy as well! haha

Geez...I'm sorry to hear about Mission Space. I haven't been on it, but I've been contemplating riding it in June when we go. After reading your report though....I'm not so sure.
I love all of your pictures! You look so much better at Disney than I do; I'm always such a sweaty mess. Blech.: What's your secret to looking so great in the parks? You lucky duck. Finish the day up at Epcot. I can't wait!

Hi! Don't go on Mission Space. ACTUALLY, Do Go on it. I don't want you to skip it just because I had to stitch my head back on after. But Im telling you - its bad. Yuck I DO NOT LOOK GOOD IN THOSE PICTURES! I look horrendous. I actually didn't put half of them up because they were so horrifying! I looked so hideous our whole disney trip I was pissed. I promise I look much better in REAL life! But you ARE very kind .. thank you!

IMG_2425.jpg

This is the best! I tried to sneaky with my husband too except he LIKED Beverly! He is a freak. I am glad you all had a great time at Epcot! Next to the MK that is my favorite park! I am sorry that you got woozy on Mission:Space. You two look so cute in those matching red Disney World tees! I am kicking myself for not doing a matching shirt-thingy with my family! There is always next time!Great update! I look forward to more! BTW-You are VERY photogenic! I am jealous!

Haha! I know wasn't that just so funny. I couldn't have ASKED Todd to make a better face then he did!! Your husband LIKEd the Beverly?! What a weirdo! Go get him right now and tell him he is a WEIRDO! Blayne said so! I love thosse matching shirts. We ended up buying a couple more matching shirts throughout the week, but wearing them different days. Matching is FUN in disney! Once again, those pictures of me are horrible! But a little white lie never hurt anyone right? So thank you!

Ok, now I have definetly decided to ride the non-spinning version of Mission Space! I don't usually have problems with rides (especially not Disney rides) but that sounds pretty intense. I'm so glad it didn't ruin your whole day! Can't wait to hear more!

Non spinning is the way to be. However, I haven't tried that either so maybe my head will fall off there as well.. who knows! Disney rides are great because you know that your okay, but this ride was no fun. NO FUN! Thanks for reading!

Hey! I'm joining the party late but had to post because I'm loving your trip report! Especially the pics - it really adds to it. Anyway, I know this was your 1st trip but you guys are acting like Disney Vets! Can't wait for more! P.S. For the longest time I was reading this and thinking your screenname was Blayne Rox not xox! I'm sure you do rock, but I thought it was pretty funny when I finally realized my mistake.

Hi! Thanks for joining us! Ya know, for some reason people in Disney kept asking ME questions even though I was wearing my first time pin and when I would answer them all correctly they would be like "hmm, you don't seem like its your first time" and I would respond with "Well, I did my research!" hehe Thats funny - Blaynerox. I guess I could go by that if you like!

Sounds like you two are having a great trip so far . I am so sorry about the Mission Space incident. That's so annoying that those people behind you pressured you to go on the spinning version. I have never gone on MS and never will! The thought of it just makes me naseous Can't wait to hear more

Hi JJ! Thanks for reading! Those people behind us were nuts. I can't believe the CM was so rude too. She shoved it at us and sprinted away in exasperation. It wasn't my fault that after all my careful research I had forgotten which color was spinning and which wasnt! RAWR! Dont go on it.. your head will fall off!

What a wonderful day! I'm so sorry you got sick from Mission Space. I did the spinning version with my kids twice before they added the non-spinning side, and though I didn't get sick, I really didn't feel very well for about a half hour after. This past trip we did the non-spinning side and it was MUCH better! The ride was still fun but no yucky feeling after! Keep up the good work!

Hi! Yes it was a truly wonderful day! Mission Space is icky. We vowed never to go on again, but MAYBE we will try the nonspinning version next time! Thanks for reading!

I just found your trip report and love it, can't wait for the rest!!!

Welcome and thank you!

i'm sorry but reading about your mission space adventure had me. I have a sick sense of humor I guess, but I'm sure it was not funny at the time. I never ride Mission Space , I let DH go and take the kids to play in the cars or color in the store. Loved reading about your first full day at Epcot, it was entertaining.

It is quite funny when I read it, but honestly whenever I think about it, I still can feel that horrible woozy feeling. My face felt like it was going to peel away from my skull and my skull was going to fall into Todds lap. Not a pleasant sensation. Thanks for reading!

Oh Blayne...what a terrific Valentine's Day! You know I have been waiting to hear all about this day for MONTHS!! So I am glad you got it up! First, that picture of Todd and the Beverly....
Just what he deserved after forgetting his park ticket (naughty NAUGHTY boy). You handled yourself better then I would have...I imagine I would have stomped my way in to Epcot to enjoy it alone while I made him take the ride of shame back to POP himself. I am impressed with your sweetness!! And being as you only shot him looks that could kill instead of actually hurting him ...I think you should be deemed a saint!You poor thing...you rode the"non wimp" version! UGH! Sounds like that will NOT be on your list for the future. I am glad you felt better after your bathroom cookie tossing incident! I cannot wait to ride the Nemo ride myself!! Only a few more months (okay, 6 is actually more then a few...but if I wanna pretend in my own head...well, then no harm, no foul ).Oh the lobster bisque...next time, get the lobster bisque! I am so glad you guys had such a romantic dinner there!! You two totally deserve it! Keep it up!

Hey Jay! It was a terrific day and Im glad I got to share it with you! To be honest, not one part of me ever thought of staying in Epcot alone. It was my first time,and I just don't think Im that independent! I don't like to get separated in strange tropical states! As mad as I was at him, I hopped right onto that stupid bus. It was fun to give the cold shoulder though!! haha About Mission Space. Jay I will NEVER do it again. Never Never Never Ever Ever! Ooh .. the Nemo ride is very cute.. just dont get lost on your way to the never ending line! - RRR dont talk about the lobster bisque.. I WANT that lobster bisque. Why didn't I get it? Im an idiot I guess! lol

Sorry to hear you had such a disgusting breakfast at Pop! I have their oatmeal every morning that I'm there and love it. Hurry back with more.

Hi! I never tried the oatmeal. Maybe next time!

Yay! Loved reading the latest update!!!! MS is kinda insulting when you go on the orange version and the first think you see are the puke bags... A little intimidating! I've done it once and don't ever need to do it again. We didn't get sick, but it just wasn't that fun.... Love your coral reef pictures! Sounds like yall had a great V-Day dinner!

Hey! Thanks! I agree with you, I never have to do Mission Space again. My dad thought it was great, I thought not only was it HORRIBLE but even if I didnt get sick it basically just SUCKED. Thanks for reading!

Sounds like you've had a wonderful Valentine's day, besides your Mission Space adventure. I'm still convinced I should try the spinner version though. I'll know if I made a good choice in about two months Can't wait for more! BTW, the link to my pre-tripreport is in my sig

Hi Marjol! Yes we had a lovely Vday minus MS! Hey - try the spinner if you would like. It will only prove my point further! haha I'll make sure I check out your pretrippie!

Awesome report! Sad when you end the day. Love your pictures! You guys are too cute!
Can't wait for more!!:

Hey! Thanks! I was sad too .. I could have written about that day forever! It was such a good one! Thanks for reading!

Yep, you just convinced me that we are not doing the Orange side of Mission Space when we go in May. Newp. I'll be a greenie weenie instead.Great trip report btw

Dont do the orange side. Go for Green. Let me know how it was when you get back! thanks for reading!

Hi Blayne! I'm love the TR so far! Sounds like you had a great Valentine's Day! I'm a little jealous considering mine at the Poly Luau ended with getting puked on. Oh well, the joys of having kids, right? I can't wait to read the rest of your TR!!

Hi! Thanks! We did have a wonderful Vday. Funny that both our Vday consisted of puke. How Lovely! Your lucky, I cant wait to have kids! Thanks for reading!

Yay for another installment! MS got me all icky and nauseous, too. I didn't actually throw up, but I wished I could. Ok TMI. Anyway, sounds like a perfectly magical Valentine's Day all in all

Hi! YAY! haha I know exactly what you meant! I was so nauseous that after I threw up I felt SO much better! It was pretty magical besides all that nonsense!

I am sooooooo addicted to this TR. Can't wait for the next enstalment!

YAY! FEED THE ADDICTION!

You accomplished alot on this day! Sorry you felt nauseous from MS. I felt kind of sickly when I first got off too but once I ate I did feel better. I only go on the non-spinning side now. I love the pic of Todd drinking the Beverly soda. It's such a classic! Your dinner at Coral Reef sounded very romantic and the food looked pretty appetizing too. Sounds like a magical day for you both even though it started out a little rocky!

Hi! Yes we did! I will probably try the non spinning side next time! I love that pic of Todd too - so funny. It couldnt have been more perfect! The food at Coral Reef was pretty good, but the atmosphere was AWESOME! I loved it. Thanks for reading!

Another great update!!! I am glad your day was nice in the end, even with the MS issues. Looking forward to your next installment.

Hi and thanks! Im happy that MS didn't ruin the day too. I was so nervous about that one ride!

I think we had the same seat as you two when we ate at Coral Reef for our honeymoon. He sat there the whole time and moved once for like ten seconds then laid down again. Valentine's Day can be sooooo romantic in Disney World.: And I think next time I will get dear hubby with the Beverly since we missed it. Cannot wait to hear more!!

Hi Princess Amy! I loved that seat! That turtle was wonderful! i could tell everyone was jealous of us because we had a special dinner guest and they didnt! He just laid there, at one point he got up and put his whole body on the glass and laid back down again. He was VERY cute! It was our best Vday ever! OOH def. get the hubby with the beverly -oh the evil joy I got from that!

Don't you love it when your in sync with Disney?! Your day sounded great, except for when you left alittle of yourself in the bathroom after MS, you earned that cookie tossing girlfriend, there aint no shame in that. Todd was a good sport, I loved the picture of him after tasting the Beverly. Coral Reef on valentines day, you can't get anything better than that. I loved that place, of course having 2 teens there with me took the romance right out of it. But I still loved it.
Your hair looked great! even in an "icky" ponytail, you worked it!!!!!

Haha! I DID love it! We were totally in sync with Disney! Perfect timing for everything - it was very fun! I have to admit, the cookie tossing wasn't that much fun when people are waiting to use the toilet and get all nervous to go in the one that you just came out of! My motto was "Hey its Disney - I'll never see these people again!" It was good mantra to follow! .. You really cant get any better then Coral Reef for Vday. YUCK THAT PONYTAIL WAS ICKY! But thanks for trying to make me feel better!

Loved the details of Coral Reef, we are headed there for my b-day this year and sounds like we picked a good spot. LOVED the video from your table, how cool. We did Mission Space with spinning and I was a little sick too, looking forward to trying without the spinning this year.
You said the cue for the new Nemo ride was long, but how was the line, did it move fast? Can't wait to ride that this year. Do they have FP's for it? Sounds like you had a great Epcot day! Looking forward to reading more.
Lesley

Hey Lesley! OOH I bet you will have tons of fun at Coral Reef. Get the lobster bisque - dont get the things we got!! haha Let me know how MS without the spinning is! The queue was the longest I've ever seen, but it moved extremely quickly because the Nemo ride NEVER stops.. all the clamshells are connected and you bored on a moving platform, so there is no stopping and the line moves VERY VERY quickly. They don't have fastpasses for it, i don't think you would need one though. Thanks for reading!

I'm so glad you Valentines Day got better!! In the pictures of you and Todd together, did you all just go up and ask people to take pictures of you?? I'm so nervous about doing that, but I know I want TONS of picture!! I wish I could play the Beverly trick on Brian... but we went to the World of Coca Cola in Atlanta and we both had the unfortunate pleasure of tasting that horrible drink!! Can't wait to see what happens next!!

Hi! Actually I was nervous about asking people to take pictures of us as well. I worried about that for so long. BUT things are different at Disney. Everyone asks YOU to take pictures of them, so its only natural that they take pictures of you. ALSO a lot of people will just ASK you if you want a picture together if they see you taking solo pictures. You can also ask ANY CM or ANY photopass person. Really, everyone is willing to take a picture of the two of you - it was great! Thanks for reading

Wow, a magical Valentines day at Epcot, I am so happy for you. You both make my heart melt because you are so cute together.Todd seems like such a good guy,hold onto him as not to many of them out there!!. You have just confirmed my decision NEVER to go on mission space,spin or no spin.My DH went once and said it wasnt that bad and next time would take our oldest(DS4)THATS NOT HAPPENING!!!I think we will try soarin though. How high is high???I hate heights(I have gotten so bad in my old age).Glad you had a romantic dinner and cant wait for the next installment..Thanks for not making us wait too long.Till next time

Hi! Yes it was utterly magical! :sigh: I wish I were there right now! Todd is a wonderful guy. He means the world to me. He honestly does everything to me and devotes his life to making me happy. I know that sounds cliche, but its true! I love that man SO MUCH! Onto other things - NO Mission Space, MISSION SPACE BAD! Omg. Don't let your four year old on it. I couldn't even handle it as an adult. I don't know how a poor 4 year old would feel! O gosh! Thanks for reading - remembeR NO MS!

Hey - I am loving your trip report so far. I went to Coral Reef in November and we had a fantastic time. We did not get such a good view of the sea turtle .... We got stuck all the way in the back...
I cannot wait for your next installment.

Hi! Thank you. Coral Reef is great! Ask for a tankside table next time... it was AWESOME!!

Your Valentines Day was wonderful. Glad you had a great time after that MS incident...lol. I know what he means about the crab. Although he doesn't usually eat it, I like my my crab warm. I can't stand cold crab.What exactly is Beverly? I heard (read) it mentioned before, but what type of flavor does it have? I see NOBODY likes it.

Hey! Thank you! I think that if I were to have the crab, I would have liked it better warm as well. The Beverly .. well I can't really describe the flavor except that it is VERY bitter. VERY VERY Bitter! And almost nobody likes it!

Oh man, I'm sorry you barfed! That's too bad. Last time I went to Disney I went to the doctor beforehand and got the most powerful motion sickness medicine available - it's a little patch you put behind your ear and it's amazing. It's called Transderm Scop. I didn't feel even a twinge of sickness on the spinning version of Mission Space. I don't typically get sick but I wasn't going to risk ruining a second of Disney magic!I'm the same as you with park opening - I got so mad at my DH on our last trip because he was so slow in the morning. I'm like WE MUST BE THE FIRST PEOPLE IN THE PARK! Hee! I've already told DH to tell his friend that is going with us to Tokyo Disney next week that she better be ready to STEP IT UP and haul some tail so we can be first in line!! I'm so glad you ended up having a great V-day. I CAN'T WAIT TO READ MORE!!! -Amanda

Hi Amanda! Im sorry I barfed too! haha OOOH .. I should tell Todd about that motion sickness medicine. I dont have it - except on MS, but Todd gets nauseous on EVERYTHING. I'll let him know about that for next time! Thanks a bunch! Haha I agree about being first - its just much funner! You get so much MORE done! I cant wait to hear all about Tokyo Disney! I hope you have a great time and tons of fun!!

Ohhh Blayne I'm so sorry that you got sick! Ugh! I've always been so nervous to ride I haven't even been able to convince myself to ride the tame side! Glad to hear that you felt better though. I love the video at the Coral Reef, you guys are too cute. By the way, the pic of "Ken" is perfect after drinking Beverly!

Hey dearest! I really need to go catch up on your trip report after this! Anyways DONT ride it. Its bad. Its not even a GOOD ride. If you took all the nauseousness away - the ride would STILL SUCK! lol You liked the video huh? Did you notice Todd staring at the tank in awe?! We were mesmerized! Im off to go read your trippie!

Your description/reaction to MS is EXACTLY the reason I refuse to go on that attraction. I'm sure I would have the same reaction. If DH had forgotten his ticket, I would have gone ahead without him. "Call me when you come back." I would not have been nearly as forgiving. So happy your day turned out great. Looking forward to hearing more. B

Hey! Dont go on - its painful! Haha I would have been WAY TO SCARED to go into the park without Todd. It would NEVER have happened. Todd won't even let me go fill our refillable mugs by myself - hes a little protective! Maybe becaues my father told him he would break his legs if anything happened to me in Disney! haha

I'm loving your trip report. I'm glad you had a great time at Epcot on Valentine's Day. As for the EAC part of the Nemo Ride, you're not the only one who got nauseous from it. It happened to me several times on that ride.

Hi! Thanks! Jeeze, I really thought I was hallucinating, but that part of the ride made me SO nauseous! Gosh, you'd think they would realize that! Yucky!

:wave2: Hey Blayne, Im so glad things started going better on V-day! I will not be riding Mission space! Thnks for the heads up! :crazy2: I would be sick too!:sad1:
:worship: You are the queen of the DIS Trip Reports! I sure hope you can get some credit for this in your English class!:rotfl2: Cant wait for more! Nettii:goodvibes

Hi Nettii! Dont ride mission space. Itsyuck! You totally just made my day by saying I am queen of the Dis Trip Reports. Honestly! I am VERY happy with you Nettii! I wish I could get some credits for this too, but that wont happen! Thanks so much for reading!

That was a super good post! I am hooked now It makes me want to be back in Disney. Loved the video of the turtle how cute. You guys look like you are having so much fun. We are taking a small solo trip in April. (Without the three kids) Enjoy the solo trips when you can do everything you want to do! Oh its fun with kids just fun in a different way but still great! Keep it coming!:)

Hey! Thanks! That turtle was adorable. I wish I could have taken him home with me and let him live in the bathtub. I would have named him Crush and given him lots of love! OOH a solo trip will be fun. I hope you'll write a trippie about it! I really will cherish all our "kid -less" trips because it was just SO much easier to get around with just us. Not that I know what it would be like with kids, but i know it was a lot easier! haha

Just caught up with your installments. You are a great writer! Thanks for sharing your trip with us! What a great valentine's day! And I agree with everyone else, Todd is definately a keeper. (Just don't let him keep the room keys, LOL! ;) ) Great photos, too! Keep it coming! :happytv:

Hi! Thanks! I love sharing my trip report with everyone! Todd is wonderful, I will tell him you all think so! I will NOT let him have those room keys! haha

Great review so far...except for the barfing part, that sucks! The first time I did MS was with my (now) DH and some friends in 2003...the other guy we were with and I were both fine...DH and the other girl, not so much. They never puked, but definitely didn't feel better after Universe of Energy as we all thought they would. Our friend Cara said the same thing you did, the giant screen at the end made her feel worse!:crazy2:

Hey jess! MISSION SPACE IS YUCKY! .. thats so funny that you guys went on Universe of Energy right after - it made me even sicker!

Great update! I'm excited to see we got TWO of them today!!! SO sorry to hear about your experience on Mission:Space. I felt pretty sick afterwards, as did my husband. In fact, we tried to press on after that ride but he couldn't do it. We had to go back to our room. Glad to see you recovered, though.Your Coral Reef dinner sounded very romantic! What a great way to spend VDay!Can't wait for more! You two are too cute!

Hi! Thanks! I planned on making it one post, but it just got SO long! I dont blame you for going back to the hotel. I would have if I was not running on a "ImatDisney" adrenaline high! Thanks so much for reading!

Blayne,
Finally caught up on your TR, and I am really enjoying it. So far you stayed in a resort I have only visited, and of all your meals I have only eaten at Earl of Sandwich and PH. So it is fun to see what you think of the other places. There really is something exciting about reading someone's opinions of WDW from a first timers point of view.
I also started dating my husband in HS, married with 3 adult children. We are still very much in love. Unfortunately he doesn't have my love for disney, but luckily he doesn't mind if I vacation with just the girls, ie friends and family. I do make sure I bring him every few years, maybe he'll become hooked too.:cool1:

Hi! Im glad you're enjoying my opinions - cause I just LOve to give them! haha I just love high school sweethearts. Maybe because I am one? I dont know I just think its so sweet! Todd liked Disney, but wasn't as excited as I was. He does want to go back though, which is good!

The Beverly trick cracked me up!! I can't wait to trick my DH with that one on this trip!! Your MS experience leaves me to wonder if I can even handle the greenie weenie side of it, but I am vowing to not be such a chicken this time around. Luvin your TR girlie, keep 'em coming!!

Hi! haha it cracked me up too!! Hmm.. I would probably try the greenie weenie side, just not the orange! Thanks for reading!

I am soo loving this trip report, I'm hooked! :thumbsup2 I was wondering how you liked your crocs? Were they comfortable? I went last year for the first time and my feet were killing me at the end of each day while wearing sneakers! I am hoping to find more comfortable shoes this time and thought about trying them even though I think they are wicked ugly!

Hi! Ooh Im glad I hooked you! I LOVED MY CROCS! Honestly they are the ugliest things and they made my legs look horrible - like little stumps. ... but let me tell you EVERYONE wears them at Disney and they are the most amazing things ever! My feet never hurt! My skin peeled off from all the walking, but my feet NEVER EVER hurt! It was amazing. They were the best things Ive ever invested in! Definitely buy them! I do have to say though I still got some cuts where the crocs rubbed the tops of my feet, but that was nothing compared to what it would have been in sneakers! They are hideous, but wonderful - TRY THEM!!

Blayne, I am so glad you updated!! First, I am happy that your valentine's day got better! :thumbsup2 Too bad about Mission Space; let me tell you that ride will never see me again, even if there is a green side! The first and only time I rode it I felt so sick for the rest of the day :crazy2: I vowed never to ride that death trap again, I will stick to Test Track! Coral Reef sounded wonderful, I love that you are incorporating a dining report within your TR! And the picture of Todd after he drank the Beverly is priceless :rotfl2: I cannot wait to hear more about your trip! This TR rocks my socks! :thumbsup2

Hey dear! My valentines turned out wonderful despite MS. It was yucky - bad MS! I loved Test Track though! It so much easier incorporating the dining report! Thanks so much for continuing to read!

I am an add on I must say what a great report so far. I am hooked :

Hi! Welcome! THanks for reading!

Loving your trip report Blayne. :)

THANK YOU!

Hi Blayne! I just started finished reading your trip report up to now. I'm really enjoying reading all about your first trip to Disney and seeing all the wonderful pictures! It's making me anxious for my trips to hurry up and get here!

Hi! Thanks so much for reading! I hope your trips are great!

Hey Blayne,
I am so glad you had a happy Valentine's Day. Mine was spent shoveling almost 3 foot of snow. :scared: And at the moment it is 2 dgrees here so I am enjoying your warm and sunny trip. Sorry to hear your day had a shaky beginning. I am a little obsessive/compulsive so as long as I am around there is no key forgetting. I don't ask - I check. Before we leave the room, as we leave the room and once more while waiting for the bus for good measure. :lmao: I had to laugh at you thinking your head was going to fall into Todd's lap on MS. We rode this in 2004 and then again this past December. My response this time was "It wasn't as bad as I remembered. My cheeks hurt and I cried the whole time but it wasn't that bad" :rotfl2: I am glad you enjoyed your romantic dinner at Coral Reef. We ate there and I think saw the same turtle. My daughter was extrememly concerned that it was dead. She was a little preoccupied during our whole dinner. :worried: WE never did see him move. Keep the report coming.....

Hi Becky! Im sorry to hear about your Valentines Day! My family was snowed in as well and school was cancelled at home where I live. I was just thankful to be enjoying the weather where I was! I should have checked more.. oh well! HAHA - That was a good quote about MS! I cried a bit too I must admit. It was more of the "I cant help these tears dripping down my cheeks" sort of thing! Omgosh! The turtle at Coral Reef seemed to be "playing dead" when we were there too. It did swim a little, but when it sat down it just closed it eyes and laid there and these tiny little came over and startled nibbling at him - it was weird! Thanks for reading!

Great installments !!! Hopefully you'll be finished by the time I leave for my trip !!! I'll post my pretrippie by tomorrow morning !!!

Hi thanks! -- I don't think I'll be done by the time you leave, but I hope you have a great trip!!

I have enjoyed reading your report so far! I think that you and I are about the same age...it's so great to see someone else who hasn't 'outgrown' Disney either! So many people have joked around about my Disney addiction...and I have been successful in converting some of them! Congrats on your first trip (!) and trip report! Can't wait for more!

Hi! Thanks for reading! Im 18 - how about you? I never really had a chance to "outgrow" Disney because this was my first time going! haha So technically Im kind of growing INTO it! But I will forever love all Disney movies!

Oh Blayne!
More! More! More! I think you are the reason I get up and go to work! They actually think I am here to work!!

Hi! Thanks for reading! Im glad you like it!! Work is overrated anyhow right?!

Reading your TR is making me want to write a pre trip report, even though we aren't leaving till december...I'm loving it so far!! I am definatly going to use your trick on my husband with the beverly drink in epcot. but knowing him, he'll like it...:lmao:

Hey! You should definitely write a pre trippie. Im not sure what you'll write about this far in advance but GO FOR IT! Tricking significant others is ever so fun dontcha tihnk?

Well, I finally browsed your thread and am totally loving it. You crack me up. BTW, had my hubby forgot his ticket at any park, I would not have gone back to the resort with him. I would have went in the park and started having a bit of fun, meeting up with him later. But then, again, we've been married 10½ years and can get away with this! :bitelip: Looking so forward to more of your posts!!!!!

Hi! Im glad your loving it! I would have been way to scared to be in Epcot by myself, plus Id never been to Disney so we wouldn't have known where to meet each other! lol Thanks so much for reading!
