BD.....BD.....Calling BD. Your update is here....BD......BD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Blesseddaddy]

BD.....BD.....Calling BD. Your update is here....BD......BD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did someone summons little old ME????? Geez, I go away for ONE lousy day, after waiting WEEKS for your update and that is the day you post it and then I get fussed at for not being right here!!! Well, I am here now!!

I'm glad you went to AK even if it's not your fav........after all it is FOUR PARKS, ONE WORLD!!! That does include AK!!! Hey that pizza didn't look that bad at all. When we ate over at the Flame Tree the ducks used us as cover, the other kids were driving them nuts, chasing them around, so they eventually ended up hiding under our table for some peace!! Nothing like having a duck watch you eat your lunch.....of course, good thing it wasn't out on the "bayou", somebody would have been in a blind ready to fire and we would have all been "ducking" for cover!!! Talking about Ducks, don't you really just love the Camp where "our" friends hang out to wait for us?? I really do love the photo pass borders, with the signatures!! Those make them look extra special. Though, I will admit it is surprising that Mickey still lets Donald sign as #1!!!!!!!

You got some great shots of The Lion King. We sat in the Elephant section and had the best time! Loved that show, as well as Nemo. I am so glad that we took the time to see as many shows as we could during our week. The girls enjoyed everyone of them and I will admit that I did too!! I will also say of all the 3D and 4D movies, my favorite of those was at AK, It's Tough to be a Bug....ROCKS!!! I am glad that your rode Everest........you know how I feel, get your money's worth......ride 'em all and see it all!!! Good for you!! I thought this would be one of the top rides for my girls and though they enjoyed it.......they just turned out to be DHS ROCKERS in the end!!

Well, when it comes to school bread, I guess you will have to school me on it, since I haven't had the chance to try it yet??? You have some great pictures at Epcot. I hope Shocker doesn't get too upset, you know he likes the troll, but apparently doesn't get to spend much time there!!! I especially like the one of you in your poncho.......what a great smile and example to all........that there is no need to turn it upside down , just go with the flow and not let a little "liquid" sunshine spoil your fun!!!

Great update, Great pictures.........and I'll be patient for your next update, if you will be patient AFTER you get around to it, on me???? As Howie Mandel would say...........Deal or No Deal????

Alright, So today is Downtown Disney day/ EPCOT/Magic Kingdom.
I was starving when I left POP to go to DTD, so I went searching for FOOD!
Well it turns out nothing is open at 10 AM at DTD, so after I went shopping I went to Epcot.
I pretty much just walked around a bit, I stopped at The Basin,The big store next to the Lego store(cannot remember the name)
and Goofy's Candy Company!
So here are my pictures from DTD!

Now onto Epcot.
I just realized that I was starving. I skipped a TS meal sometime in my travels and I had a extra meal !
So I went to Guest Services and made a ADR for Teppan Edo.

It was a pretty cool place. I thought the food was good, and our Chef was pretty awesome.
It turned out he was a favorite of the guy who has all the Disney tattoo's.
We heard about some of the inside secrets that the Tattoo guy hears about before we do.(Movies before they start advertising them,new rides ect..)
Also the people sitting at the same table were very nice!
After that I went to pick a pearl in Japan. I picked a nice 8 1/2 Pearl. I picked a "Cell Phone" charm and use it on my key chain.
I think it was $15.00 for the Pearl and around 15 or so for the charm. I dont remember though.

Then I was getting the itch for another Henna tattoo. Sooo I went and she added more onto my arm!
Before:

After:

After that I decided I wanted to go to Magic Kingdom to meet the faries!!(BD thats for you!!!)
Along the way I met a couple of characters.

I'm going to be sad to go to Epcot when its not the Flower and Garden Festival.

Next Hopping to Magic Kingdom!!!!!

Okay So I have to venture off and say I really hadnt been paying attention to Manpris the whole trip. BUT I did see these suckers. They looked a bit funny at Disney.

HAHAH

Well I had a dismeet today at Lecellier soooo I didnt get to spend much time in MK. Just enough to see the Faries and Catch the parade.
I have to say I enjoyed having those Park Hoppers, for a solo traveler they are awesome!
I cant wait till I'm a cast member and do it all the time!

I found this guy wandering around

Alright so here's my first "parade experience at disney!" I had never made it to a parade so I was quite surprised that it was this cool!
This is where I took my favorite picture of the trip:

Isnt it so cool!

Alright... Back to Epcot!!!!

See I told you I loved those Park Hoppers!

Here's some pictures I took from the Monerail

Second Favorite picture of the trip:

Here's some more Epcot Shots!

And this one is sure to make Shocker and BD freak:
I took a picture of him to let my mom know that Disney does have bikers...wonder what he was thinking..it was HOT that day.

Wooh its time for my DISMEET!!!! I have to say I had a great time with this bunch of people, I thought it would be akward but I loved them!
We met up at LeCellier and had a good meal. We did have trouble with the steaks but everything else was okay!
Our group...Bad shot by the time it got to my camera!

Here you go wigd and shocker!

It was good!!! I really enjoyed the bread also. I wish I could have taken some home with me to snack on during my trip!
My steak:

Wigd's favorite meal

Moose before:

Moose After:

It was good...But we had something AWESOME to look forward to.. Angela had ordered a Cake for us to celebrate our birthdays
and myself being accepted into the Career Start program.!

I ended up taking a huge piece home with me and it was AWESOME. I think it cost around 25 bucks and was worth every penny!
I ate it for breakfast the next day and it was amazing. The chocolate was just perfect!

I really enojoyed my Dismeet and cannot wait to meet more of my Disser friends when I go to work at Disney!
So after that we all decided to walk back to the bus's together and really had agreat chat!
Here's my last picture of the day..

Another Great Update and I am already here, aren't you proud of me??

First, Awesome Pictures!! I am so thrilled that you had so much fun on your trip. I agree about Park Hoppers, though I'm not sure that we got our money's worth out of them this last trip (you know, being cheap as I am, I am pretty sure we would have had to use them 15 to 20 times to make them "payout"...LOL), I would buy them again for future trips! We were able to see some things (like Fantasmic), while touring the parks the way we wanted without having to tour DHS on day they were having Fantasmic. I can also see where those that do the dinning plan, would be better served having the hopper as well. It is fun to just go from one park to another when you want too.

I guess on our next trip to Disney, we will have to spend a little more time in DTD. That cheap "thing" (aka ME!!) will likely have to stay at the resort, so maybe Tracy and the girls will have to spend a little more time at DTD. It appears that there is a lot more to it, then what I allowed my crew to "see"!!

You got some awesome pictures at Epcot. That is another place where I know we will spend some more time next trip....exploring World Showcase. Since I have only seen it during F&G, I think I might be a little disappointed to be there when it's not all decked out...............well, probably NOT, it is still DISNEY, but Wigd. does say Epcot looks different when F&G is not going on. You'll find that out all too soon, when you return in a just a couple of months!!! Yeah for YOU!!!

Now, I don't know about them there tattoos???? Of course, I guess there could be worse things you could be getting the itch for????

Now I don't know if those there were Manpris or Men's KneeKnockers?? Either way they are funny!! Reminds me, did you post your guess on Wigd.'s report for the manpris contest?? If you haven't, it's OK.......I KNOW I had to have WON, after all the work I put into my guess!!!

Now tell the truth, how long did you have to wait in line to get meet the Fairies??????? and if it wasn't that long, just say it was to make me feel better OK?????? Glad you can do like ME and say been there done that and won't have to do it AGAIN!!!!!!! Geez, I hope my two girls will allow me to say that!!!!

We LOVED the parades!! I was like you and wasn't expecting too much. After having watched a few Madri Gras parades, Christmas parades, etc. I didn't really know what "kind" of parades Disney would have. But we caught them all and thought they were GREAT!!!!!!!

More awesome shots of Epcot. I love the monorail......it will be on our list to do everytime we go and riding up front with the pilot is just the best!!

NOW, you mean that WASN'T Shocker in the biker gear??? I just knew since everyone dogged him about his speedo and Wigd. refused to let him buy Manpris or the Kilt (ummmm, I mean SKIRT) that he "dressed up" for everyone in his Biker Gear???? To each his own, as they say, but I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would want to make such a fashion statement while on vacation, especially where it's HOT??? OH talking about fashion statements.......your Tink shirt was PERFECT for wearing while meeting her........it looked JUST LIKE HER!!!

I understand your thoughts on the Dis Meet. I was sort of like you and again not knowing what to expect? Our's turned out great as well and I would love to meet up with the same folks again or even other Disers that I have met through the boards. How lucky was I to get to meet Wigd., Shocker, FLChick and ZenDisney on my FIRST Dis Meet!! I truly do wish I could have spent some more time just hanging out with them. I honestly didn't know about the second meet up and to this day I don't understand why we didn't get the call when they tried to find out why we weren't there....sometimes I hate Tracy's cell phone company.....anyway in the future I will work harder to insure those opportunities aren't missed!!!

Well, another great update, looking forward to more!!!

 

[H20DogsNDisney]

great up date. The cake looked great!

 

[jewjubean]

Actually the wait to see the fairies wasnt that bad. I waited with a little girl and her mother and we chatted so it didnt take as long as I tought it was.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Loved the update! Your pictures of the parades were amazing as well as the others you took! My pictures never turn out nearly as good. So what happened with the steaks at Le Cellier? I noticed that yours was cut in half, so I'm guessing they weren't cooked to your liking........

 

[jewjubean]

Wigd I'm not going to take credit for the pictures. I think my camera is just awesome. Half the time im not paying attention and just pressing the button. Its funny how the pictures your dont mean to take are the best ones out of the bunch.

We did have some drama in the steak department. Our steaks were not cooked as they should have been. They were raw and practicely mooing at us. Other than that everything was okay..

I must try too hard with my pictures.....

 

[jewjubean]

Alright...well this is a mini update:
Here are some of the pictures that I bought with my Gift Card
I'm a HUGE picture person. If you cant tell I take pictures of EVERYTHING and when I saw these I was too excited. So naturally I did what I do best. Shop for pictures!

And some fun pictures of the best doggies in my life!

Sophie sneaking into the house

[Blesseddaddy]

OHHHHHHH, you did good with your GC!!!

Your babies are too cute. You are right though, they would make funny "puppies"........it's almost too much to even imagine!!

It appears you will have the snazziest apartment at Disney!!! I really am excited for you and the experience you will have. It's hard to even imagine how soon it is all going to happen. I am glad you are getting a jump on the things that will make you comfortable when you get there!!!

 

[H20DogsNDisney]

Great update. I will be on the hunt for those pictures.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Love the video, was that you saying "get out of there"?

 

[jewjubean]

Yep she's not allowed in the house unless she just recieved a bath and is halfway dry. She had just jumped into the bayou and was not the cleanest dog in the world.She ended up getting scared and walked right back out after I said that! Love my sophie!

 

[jenharring]

Great update on the TR. I sat and read the whole thing tonigt. I can't wait until we go back in April. Do you know where in disney you will be? Maybe we can meet you in April, it is going to be our 10th anniversary trip with out kids and I am soo excited. Of course we are going on a family vacation too, either in January or May.

 

[jewjubean]

Welcome Jen! Thanks for checking out my TR! I am not sure where I will be at Disney yet. As of right now I am going to be leaving Disney as of right now on the 8th of January. But I hope to extend my program until August. If I am still there I would LOVE to meet you and your family! I will keep you guys posted on my exact dates/locations!

 

[jewjubean]

So today is my last full day at Disney I didnt take many pictures today so this will be a short update.
I started my day out at the Crystal Palace around 11 or so for a late breakfast/lunch.
It was the start to a very emotional day . I think I was just overwhelmed with the thought of leaving and knowing I will be back in a couple months.
This was the only day that I really had a hard time being by myself. I did take a look around the Grand Flordian before I went to the CP.
There was a wedding party while I was there, they all looked so cute and together. I did check out the Basin and bought some of the end pieces of soap with my GC.
It was around 4 bucks for a mix of the different soaps. I think there were around 4-5 in a bag.They smelled sooo good that when I go for my CS program I'm going get some more!

I love this wedding dress!

Onto 1900 Park Fare

I really enjoyed this meal, the food was good, but I did have a problem with the characters coming visit. They pretty much just skipped me everytime they passed.
I wasnt having the best of days so this really bothered me. I finally said something to my server and she got the characters coming my way.

This guy was FREAKYYYYY, I was like take the picture and get away. I really didnt like him all that much.

After that I went to MK and walked around for awhile to take pictures.
Make sure you take a look at the sky right now, its wonderful weather, pretty not so hot.... just a great day!

I met this cool lady on the side of the Spinning Tea cups!

Then I made the biggest mistake of my life. I decided I was going to ride Its a Small world before I left......I got stuck on this ride for almost 10 minutes.
It was the most horrable thing in my life.This is where I got stuck.
"its a small world after all, its a small world after all, its a small world after all......1000 times" Hahaha

Now after Its a Small world, I decided it was time to go home and enjoy my last night swimming.
This is what started when I got to Cosmic Rays.

A friend I met on the way back to the hotel room!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Wow, you got some great pictures! The Mad Hatter was really funny when we were there!
Sorry they passed you by, what in the world were they thinking!?!
We never did get to meet the Queen of Hearts, she and the March Hare are on my list for next trip!
