Loving your report! The pics are absolutely amazing - you really know how to capture unusual settings. I am so anxious for my trip in 9 days!

Looks like your friends are enjoying their first trip and I think it's great they have you both to show them all the Magic.

I will have to share the credit. My DH would swipe the camera throughout the trip and snap pictures too. He has a wonderful eye for seeing things in a different way. Once upon a time his dad took pictures professionally and he would help him.

It was so much fun being able to interpret what we were seeing through the camera lens and share that throughout the trip. When we have the three kiddos, we don't have time to stop and take scenic or artistic pictures.

LJ and Brianne both continue to talk about how much fun they had on this trip. Sonny and I have made definite plans to go back in May with our kids. They are leaning towards joining us and bringing their 4 yr old niece.

I'm glad you got use out of your new camera....you took some amazing shots.

I can't wait....

I am in love with my new camera and must have told Sonny that a thousand times on this trip.

Thanks for the compliments on the pictures. Most of the pictures I posted today are straight out of the camera with no editing other than resizing them. Imagine what I could have done had I read the manual! I hope that you have as much fun with your new camera.

Not to rush your trip or anything, but I can't wait to read your trip report. If your PTR is this much fun I may have to be locked in a padded room when I read the real thing.

My internet was shaky yesterday, so I didn't get to post more food porn for you. But it should be coming up soon.

Dude, that's only a portion of the pictures we took! With no kids along I had to keep myself occupied.

wow....i just wandered into this thread, and i have to tell you--ITS FABULOUS!! loved the pre-trip stores, now the actual trip, and the pictures are fantastic!! i cant wait to read more

 

[Glendamax]

Subbing to read Later! Glad I found your report - even though I'm VERY late!

 

[Glendamax]

OK, I'm not even HAFF way finished yet, but I had to tell you that you are TOO funny! You are absolutely CRAZY!!!!! I hope we meet!

You know
Crazy thoughts are running through my mind. He is getting ready to tell me that he is leaving me for Janet Jackson. He decided that he was going to pitch for the other team. He decided that he was a woman trapped in a man’s body.

I was SCREAMING when I read this! And let's tell the truth, Janet circa 1988 is waaay different from Janet 2008! Now if this was 1988, I would worry he would leave you too! HA!

Our entire trip to WDW in January is geared around celebrating our anniversary and no anniversary would be complete without a fabulous present. Simmer down. I am not discounting the love, happiness, and commitment. But let’s keep it real. This is about the gifts!

Tell it like it is! Simmer Down Now! HA!

Except for DH, we opted to eat the southern buffet. We enjoyed every morsel and almost didn’t have room for dessert. I will now submit for your viewing pleasure some food porn.

Thank you, thank you!

I can't wait to read the rest! Now I'm glad I came late, so I dont have to wait for any installments!

See ya!

Thank you for reading along.

Subbing to read Later! Glad I found your report - even though I'm VERY late!

to you too! Better late than never!

While reading your solo trip report I kept thinking that I might come out of my shell to actually meet you. I confess that I have been lurking and not posting.

I was SCREAMING when I read this! And let's tell the truth, Janet circa 1988 is waaay different from Janet 2008! Now if this was 1988, I would worry he would leave you too! HA!

When I read that to him he started laughing and said, "I wouldn't leave you for Janet Jackson. I'd leave you for Lauren Hill!" This man got a taste of the dark side and has lost his mind!

I can't wait to read the rest! Now I'm glad I came late, so I don't have to wait for any installments!

See ya!

It is taking me forever to write new installments because I have so many pictures to organize first, but I shall persevere.

Mexican Pavilion:

It had been a long day and we were getting hungry again. The guys walked ahead to get in line for ESPN for dinner since they don’t take ADR’s. Brianne and I took a more leisurely pace and noticed a roped off area beside the bridge leading to the France pavilion. Nosy women that we are we had to find out what they were giving away.

Turns out it was Extra Magic Hour bracelets. We tried our best to sweet talk the CM into giving us bracelets for our husbands, but no dice. I was afraid that with such a long day the guys wouldn’t want to stay for EMH.

Once we made it to the ESPN club the guys were being shown to our table. Nice! I felt like we hadn’t eaten in days. Plus, we hadn’t eaten any snacks all day.

All of the times that we have stayed at the Boardwalk this is the first time that I have actually been inside the ESPN club. I’m sorry Jordan- I know this is one of your favorite spots.

The food at the ESPN club was either some of the best ever or we were just extremely hungry. We will try it again on our next trip and I will let you know.

Nachos:

Hot wings:

Pulled pork sammich

You would think that we would have been too full to eat another bite, but the Boardwalk Bakery was calling our names. We snagged some yummy desserts and coffee and ate it with our CM friends.

The Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake was the only dessert I managed to snag a picture of. Everything else was gone pretty quickly.

It was approaching 8:45 and we were all itching to see Illuminations. When we walked towards Epcot we had the intentions of just watching from the bridge and then heading back to ASM. But what we ended up doing was going into the parks, picking up EMH bracelets for the guys, and staying until close. Yikes!

Again in retrospect we should have called it a day, but smarter thinking did not prevail. We had so much fun, but our bodies paid for it later.

I had been talking to Brianne about Soarin so much that she was as eager as me to ride. When the board showed a stand-by time of 45 minutes it was unanimous that we would have to come back another time. Spaceship earth had little to no line. We walked almost right up to the door and waited about 5 minutes to be ushered into the ride.

My randy husband just had to have a kiss once we were seated in the ride. We didn’t know that this would mess up the ending for us and we know better for next time. I won’t give away what happens at the end of the ride, but I will say that I enjoyed Spaceship Earth. I know that there has been some debate about the changes to the ride and I have to respectfully disagree. Taken on its on merits and not comparing it to what it “use” to be meant that we had no expectations and was not disappointed.

Spaceship Earth:

Next we got to ride Test Track. For the first time in a while we actually got to get in line, ride this ride, and there were no mechanical malfunctions.

Brianne and LJ decided to be brave and ride Mission Space while Sonny and I elected to just wait for them. We scooted through gift shop and entered the game area. I took a moment to jot down some notes for my trip report and Sonny played Space Race. His team got skunk both times! Its okay baby, you’ll get them next time.

Pretty soon we were headed back to ASM for the night.

This day was too perfect! Something has got to go wrong tomorrow.

And now the photopass pictures from that day.

Up next: Starting the day from the wrong side of the bed.

[Glendamax]

I can't believe it! I've finished the whole thing! Let's Dance!


This has been a really fun read! I totally understand what you mean about throwing your plans away though. It's hard for me to do it, but sometimes my feet and legs has other plans!

Now in the pic below, the belly dancer looks like a man! At least to me she does!

The belly dancer outside the Moroccan pavilion:

Looking forward to more! So glad I found your report!

OMG!!!!!! I thought the same thing about the belly dancer, but I was too chicken to say that.

I should have listened to my knees more on this trip like you did. Once I got home it took a good week for all of the swelling to go down in my knees and ankles.

I am so glad to are enjoying my little trippie. I have been uploading pictures like crazy for the next installment, so I should have it up soon.

 

[RockinDisney]

I was caught by the title of your trip report and started reading, I just finished!!! I love your sense of humor and You and your hubby look so cute in all of your pics. I can't wait for more

 

[Glendamax]

Now you know I have been waiting for you to do another installment!! Those are some great pics of you and your DH!! Has anyone ever told you that ya'll look alike?

SO glad you said that, because I thought the same thing! But thought everyone would think I was "a little off". But good grief, usually only couples that have been married 50 years or so look alike! So make sure you two dont have the same Great Grand Parents!!!
