Castle Wishes and Dole Whip Dreams (a Sisters Trip )

[disneyaddicted]

Bo, once the trip is actually booked and we can start planning our park days a PTR will flow better, maybe we did start this one way too early. We could just put this on the back burner for a bit, or let it fizzle out and try starting a new one when the time is closer.

Ok, so it's decided, we are going to start a TR for our mother/daughter trip that we took in 2011...just incase anybody is interested, like if we get other readers.

So, we've established that we are breaking tradition...all but one. We will be going to Magic Kingdom for our first day. THe first time I went, TY made it super special...kinda corny, I thought she was a bit riDONKulous, but she's my sis, so I went along with it. We get to Magic Kingdom, and at some point Ty made me close my eyes and led me to the "perfect spot", then she said "OPEN" and there it was, the CastleIt was breath taking, Cinderella's castle!, She was my favorite princess. So there we were, staring at the castle and then it happened...my eyes started to well up, the tears spilled out, I tried to contain them. tilted my head back, tried to suck them back into the tear ducts...no use. they left their marks down my cheeks and I was hooked! I could feel the magic, and lightheartedness...this was truly a happy place I think the emotions were just so strong and grew so fast there was no where to go except out...in the form of tears...happy tears. Please tell me I'm not the only adult that's done this! Ty worked tirelessly planning that trip and making sure it was special and memorable, and it was! She's the best person to take a trip with, and possibly the only person to make a disney trip with...lucky me she's MY sister!!!
We'll be adding the park hopper to maximize our time there with magic hours and ADR's etc. We plan on the Royal Table and Belle's (we'll do both the ADR and counter service at Belle's) Ty suggested we do the ADR first, so then we could choose a different room to eat in for our counter service. I tell you, Ty is a DISNALOGICAL GENIUS! We are going to "re-do" some of the photo ops that we lost, and we have a big bucket list of stuff to do, watch, eat or drink. WE will likely take a long weekend to plan out our tentative Itinerary a few months out, and complet the costumes. We like to have a basic plan, but leave some wiggle room for ...whatever!

soooo...since we can't really get into the nitty grity of our itinerary, I'm going to share some of our bucket list...

the hot air balloon! oops...electrical storm, hubby wants me off the computer....


...to be continued!

 

[BoBippity]

hmmm...where was I???

 

[BoBippity]

Oh, yes... the Bucket List...

Downtown Disney, Hot Air Balloon ride, day and night if possible, Character meet and greets, (my first trip I didn't want to "waste" time meeting any, but opportunity to meet a couple without waiting has won me over,, now those memories have me geeked to meet more...I got to dance with pooh bear,and photos with mini and mickey were a blast! ) ,try to pull the sword out of the stone, divide Epcots "worlds" into 2 days so we can see it all in the day time. RIde the monorail, (can you believe I haven't done that?) re take some photos we lost, find the hidden items at Tom sawyers Island, collect all the freebies i.e. maps, unused fast pass tickets (if it's not all digital by then) photo pass card, stickers...the characters hand them out, swizzle sticks, napkins...you name it, great additions to the scrap book pages with the meals. the extended safari.., every shoe and ride we missed the first time... Belles story hour...(do you think we can go without kids?) DOLE WHIPS!, Ooohhh the starbucks...i want that mug. pizza planet, (great veggie pizza!) I know there's more...TY can probaly add a few ...dozen items too...TTFN! I'm getting a rumbly in my tumbly!

 

[BoBippity]

We are planning 3 ADR's . "Garden Grill", "Royal Table", and the "Be Our Guest." After the BOG, another day we'll eat lunch there so we can choose a different room (we're hoping for the Beasts study/west wing ..ya know, the dark and stormy room.)

new subject, Ty, You'll appreciate this...
I'm at McD's and I'm figuring out how much $ I have to give them to get my change in dimes... I gave them 5 dollars and 58 cents, my change should have been 2 $ and 20Cents... 2 DIMES, (dimes for my disney fund) the dude opens the window and gives me 2 bucks! and shuts the window! ordinarily I wouldn't sweat small change, but this wasn't any change this was DISNEY dimes! so i waited...tried to get his attention to no avail, the cars were piling up behind me, so I drove to the pick up window, and explained the situation to hat lady, but thought she might think i was nuts with the whole "disney dimes" so i said it was for my sons school project

I'm adding 2 dimes to my bottle!!!! not that it's a competition or something...

 

[BoBippity]

TY, hopefully I catch ya...I'm not so sure about changing the title to "pretty pathetic" What if it became a self fullfilling prophecy and destroyed our trip???just sayin'...I'd rather have some castle wishes and dole whip dreams...

I hear ya, I doubt the PTR title would ruin or change our actual trip, but I don't want to take any chances, so castle wishes and dole whip dreams it stays.

"I like your bucket list, I will just share yours.

I added 14 dimes yesterday and 4 more today,
I know it's not a contest, but 3 of those dimes were super shiney

 

[disneyaddicted]

Boooo, it's time to get this PTR going again! It still has a pulse, it's faint and irregular but not too late to revive...CLEAR....aha! It's alive again.

 

[disneyaddicted]

This PTR may have been neglected over the past few months, the trip itself has not suffered, we have been planning everyday. Each morning on our long drives to our jobs we talk on the phone and toss out ideas. We even started planning our trip through skyping.


We settled on the dates Sept 15th-27th. We booked the little mermaid room, it's bitter sweet. We wanted that room so bad and we got it but at the loss of free dining, it's so sad that the Little Mermaid rooms are excluded from any promos. We discussed the pros and cons and decided that we need to stay at AoA...specifically in A little Mermaid room.

WE also found out that even though we will be there for 13 days, we can only get 10 day passes, so 3 of those days are going to be no park days, no worries though, we have a plan, out first day will be a no park day, we'll go to DTD and do the hot air balloon ride, our next no park day will be on the day of our MNSSHP, it being a hard ticket event we can still go to MK as early as 4:00pm that day, we won't need to use a park ticket from our 10 day pass since we will have a ticket for the party. Then our last day will be a no park day, we will just hang at the resort.

we have some what of an itinerary now.

Hope you keep this going! Missed reading your trip reports on the DIS...to be honest, I haven't been posting much on here or reading it for a few years, but you might draw me back in.

We're planning a hubby/wife trip for October '15. We went last September for a few days to hit up F&W and ventured over to HHN at US which has now fully made us realize we need a couples trip every fall to our favorite place. (But, shhh, dont' tell our kids. They think we went to Vegas, lol! )
