About to finish where I left off...We are on Day 2 currently (still reporting Day1) and Hurricane Fay is just dousing a little bit of rain onto us...Nothing bad, but the weather report is saying 10pm will be when it actually hits us (and not even bad). We hit AK this morning @ 8am (they opened all parks an hour early in case of early closures) and we had a BLAST.

Once my photos are uploaded I can report on last night and today while everyone else is napping. BIG surprise that I need to report on

Unfortunately ~M~'s pics have quite a bit of pics I want but she doesnt have a cord for us to upload them

 

[Lilolvr]

I was looking in the wrong spot for your report. But I found you!! Hope you are having a great trip!!

 

[Mickey'sMainMami]

Hey, I'm back for you new trip report, and I am really excited that you will be doing it live! I hope you guys have a blast! As for me and DH, we are going back in December!!!! Yipee!!! We have been in September, the last 2 years, but we really hated the heat. This year I suggested we try around Christmas, because in all my 13 trips, I have never seen it decorated for the holiday! DH is actually looking forward to it, (remember he is like TC, he could take it or leave it) so I am getting even more excited too! Anyway, again, I hope you have a great time, and I will be checking in to get the updates from ya!!

 

[kaysmommie]

I hope Fay doesn't cause too much rain. But at least most of it will be at night.

 

[MomsOf2boys]

I can't wait to hear about the big suprise!! I love suprises!!

 

[heaven2dc]

How exciting that you are at WDW and posting live!

I have a quick question - what airline did you fly? The seats look so comfy and the tv's w/live report of where you are flying over is great!

Hope you don't get hit hard with any rain or high winds from the hurricane - be safe!

 

[JoanieS]

subbing! Hope Fay stays away!!!

Have a great trip!

 

[Philadisney]

I found your thread just in time for the live updates - cool! I hope Fay gets out of your way and you guys have a great trip. I can't believe you and your friend are not related - you look so much alike!

No time for napping Michelle! What's the surprise and where are the pics of the queen beds!!

 

[cherbear]

A surprise already? Did you win the castle stay??!!!

 

[Buzz2001]

A surprise already? Did you win the castle stay??!!!

That would be cool!!

 

[kaysmommie]

I'm hoping you post room pics with the new beds. I can't wait to see them. 46 more days for us!

 

[MissMichelle]

the rest of Day 1 will be up momentarily (finishing attaching photos)...Its been a crazy day with lots of fun (even in the pouring rain!). We accomplished a pretty good amount and tomorrow is MK day and CRT for breakfast---just the girls!

 

[MissMichelle]

For those who are asking for pictures of the Queen Beds---here are the 4 kids fitting comfy on the end of them...Will get more pics as the week goes on

I learned that ~M~'s room doesn't have the new beds though and she is RIGHT NEXT DOOR...We wondered why her beds were hard, then I went in and the are smaller..without the nice new orange tag (That end up falling off )

 

[MissMichelle]

Ok, this has been being typed into Word Pad as I have been going along so when I say "right now I am....." I actually was at that point..

So on with this

I am watching the reports for Hurricane Fay on the Weather Channel...UGH looks like pretty heavy rain mid week of our trip...I guess anything is better then being home--but TC calls me a jinx since it rained almost every single day off I had this summer...Makes for a boring day off when I can't even go to the beach or park with the kids,.


We landed @ 11:30 as planned and quickly made our way to DME check-in...this is the line

It took about 25 minutes to get through, but hey we are excited so its ok. Once done we walked straight through the que and onto the DME bus. Less then 5 minutes later we were on the way. First stop POP and then we were let off @ CSR,

When we walked in there were only 2 people in line, but the manager walked over to us and asked us to step over to conceirge to check-in so we wouldn't have to wait. Our CM was Luisito and he was fantastic. We mentioned our room requests (Casitas 4 and same building) and he said they were granted but our room wouldnt be ready till 5. We said that was fine, but he got right on the phone with a smile and quickly got us a room---3rd floor adjoining and that gave ~M~ an upgrade to waterview So we are happy with that...VIEW:

We dropped off the carryons and headed to Pepper Market for lunch. TC, Enrique and myself got Fajitas, Ash got chinese and the kids got pizza. We all filled up and went to head to the DIg Site for a swim when it started raining. I stopped at the bar right outside and got my Carribean Mojito and ~M~ grabbed a Pina Colada. Sorry no pics

The kids and the guys headed to the pool while ~M~ and myself lounged on the beds in the A/C and sipped our drinks I chatted with my dad a bit and then called to see if the groceries had arrived...They had

Funny only 2 of our suitcases have been delivered and we are unsure when we'll get the rest (4 more bags).
RAIN

We are heading to Le Cellier @ 4 (hopefully groceries arrive by then).

So we head out at 3:45 for Epcot and sat at the bus stop for about 10 minutes. We arrived at Epcot and went on Spaceship Earth which I hadn't seen the refurb yet. We all enjoyed it Especially seeing ourselves after we came out up on the screens. By this point we needed to get to Le Cellier by 5 for our 5:05 ADR.

We checked in and Melissa asked me to go to the bathroom with her. When we came out everyone was already seated but TC hadn't gotten to the table yet. When he showed up I asked where he was and he said putting stuff back in his backpack that he took out. No biggie we went on. Throughout the night the waitresses would walk by and hit Melissa and seemed to be acting odd. I shrugged it off as it didn't seem noticeable and I thought I was imagining things.

TC got up to use the restroom and so did Melissa moments later. I glanced over and thought I saw them talking in a corner ---my imagination asked if they could be having a secret affair! LOL. I swear exhaustion can get the best of you. The meal was wonderful as always and I got the Mushroom Filet and I was STUFFED. I didn't know if I wanted dessert but decided to get the creme brulee just to "taste".

A waitress came by and put out spoons (this will play into it in a moment) and our waitress came by and told her she put out the wrong ones.They laughed and fixed that quickly! A few moments later all the servers and the manager came towards our table with our desserts...From behind me a plate is placed in front of me---It was a black napkin with a white box on top and the plate had "Will You Marry Me 8/18/08" in chocolate. OMG TC WAS FINALLY PRPOSING PROPERLY!!!

*Backstory* We have been "engaged" for 3 years....Tc never actually proposed..He said lets get married and I said OK...He told me to pick a ring and I did---I lost it 1 year later.It was a sign. He tells me to plan a wedding which I tell him I won't until I have a proper proposal and ring. He outdid himself by doing it here---My favorite place ever and Le Cellier!!!!!*

I cried, it was all caught in pics but none on my camera and sadly Melissa doesnt have her USB cord But I took a pic of my ring. The staff at Le Cellier was AWESOME and they made my night. We got champagne and they all cheered. The whole restaurant was clapping I am was so embarrassed. BUT I LOVED IT!

A Shout out to Jennifer for making the whole thing happen. She was hugging TC after when we were leaving saying she was happy to have been a part of it (she was the one hitting Melissa for cues, placing the wrong forks so she could mouth things to TC and she planned the plate decoration---she was the one TC was talking to when he "was fixing his backpack").
