Doin it in Style @ The Poly! September 2010 Here we Come!!!

Okay, I am here! AGAIN!! FINALLY!!! :lmao:

I get busy and fall two pages behind - how does that happen ..... to me ....... so often! :rotfl2:

Sorry Stefy!

Okay, let me catch up!

I like tiara no 3! No 1 looks a lot like the one I have at home :goodvibes!

Love your Day 1 planning - isn't it a shame us Europeans always get in on a late flight! :sad2: But lucky you - ours only arrives at 6.40pm!!!
An hour through immigration should work out fine.

As for the Dooney and Burke bags only available on the DCL - could it be that you know someone who IS going on a Disney cruise soon? Maybe she/he could get it for you? Just a thought, :rotfl:
And let me know which one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And ......... I FINALLY mailed your little present! Sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!! it took so long to be finally wrapped and sent!

Don't worry, I get just the same. It is amazing how one can get so behind after only a few days :)

Tiara vote noted :) Although I am leaning towards No. 2, but I do like No. 3 as well. They are all really cheap enough I could get them all :laughing:

It is annoying that us Europeans don't get in til late. Even more so that we would have to arrive a day early if we were to Cruise straightaway. But we don't mind that so much for next year as that means we get to have a few Dis Meets because of it :)

Thank you for the kind offer for the DCL D&B bags, but I think that I might get them next year when we go Cruise on the Dream. But you can still check them out for us and let us know how much etc (that is if you want to :) )

OOooh very excited to see what this present is, I do like receiving them :teeth:
 
Hey All :wizard:

Am going to update with Day 1 soon, but just wanted to check in first and see how y'all are doing :)

We had a gym session today that went quite well, although I think I annoyed Dave being indecisive of what machines to go on (this is our second session and I don't have a program yet) :laughing:

Also I think I am driving him crazy with Cruise talk as I YouTube-d some videos of the horn and played three different videos. Its so cool that the horn plays When You Wish Upon a Star. I have heard rumours that The Dream is going to play different songs instead of the one like The Wonder and The Magic. Am sooo excited to go on the Cruise, can't wait to book it :hyper:

Hi, Stefy. Glad your gym session went well. We are SUPPOSED to drive the men in our lives crazy...they get used to it after awhile. ;)
 

Thanks :) How are you feeling today? Hope you are taking it easy and Mark too :)

I don't care if I drive Dave crazy :teeth: like you say he just puts up with it :rotfl:

Feeling much better, thank you (and Mark feels great). Going to get my nails and pedicure done tonight.

Just read that it is official: LeCellier will be a 2TS for dinner and a 1TS for lunch beginning March 1, 2011.
 
Glad to hear :) Oooh a mani and pedi sounds lovely, enjoy :)

I saw on Facebook about the change. I remarked on Karin's PTR about it, am glad that we are "paying" 1TS and for our first time too.

Day 1 is coming right up :goodvibes

Oh good - I am ready to throw in the towel - we have forgotten to make reservations for a restaurant in Vienna for Saturday night and now I am checking out restaurants on the internet - so far nothing I really like - I need a distraction!

Your Day 1 would be a NICE distraction! :thumbsup2 :lmao:
 
Day 1 - Magic Kingdom

Our first full day at WDW and our first park of choice has to be MK...

MeDaveOutsideCastle.jpg


Its sort of a tradition for us to do MK on the very first day, as to us it is Disney!

Today is an AM EMH day, so we are going to try and make it for Rope Drop at 8am, take a few pictures along here...

IMG_0612.jpg

(thats supposed to be Main Street, for some reason we have no MS pics :confused3 )

Once the initial shock and awe has subsided at being in our most Happy and Magical Place on Earth, we will then make our way over to one of the big rides and get a FP for that.

Either:

Then we will hit up Fantasy Land and go on a few rides there like...

Carousel.jpg


Philharmagic.jpg


IMG_2300-1.jpg


Hopefully now the fast passes will be ready to use and we can have a ride on it. Then we'll go and pick up another fast pass for one of the other mountains.

After that we might go back down to Main Street to get a cinnamon bun as big as my head and have a mini break, before hitting either...

Have to stop here as it's getting late, but next up is "Where will we lunch?"
 
Oh a Magic Kingdom morning:love: I can't wait to hear about it! Looks like a perfect plan. I'm sure you've told us your lunch plans before, but I can't remember so it will be a suprise. My guess is Columbia Harbor House.

Oh dear, well I think I was too late to distract you wasn't I? :( Did you find another restaurant in the end?

I was getting worried there wasn't going to be a Day 1. :confused:

:laughing: Don't you worry there are lots of Days to come :)

Could it be CHH? :scratchin
 
Shucks, I should have stayed online just a little longer! :lmao: ;)

Your day 1 looks fantastic! Lots of rides to squeeze in!

Hm, where might you have lunch? What about The Plaza? Yummy sandwiches and huge ice-cream sundaes! ;)

We didn't find another restaurant yesterday, so I guess we'll just ask at the hotel if they have a recommendation - otherwise we'll find "something" while touring the city! :thumbsup2
 
Continuing on :)

After we have roamed one either Tomorrow or Adventure Land, then off we go to use one of our FP's for the other Mountain. Hopefully after that it will be time for our 2pm ADR at...

LibertyTreeTavern.jpg


We will most probably catch the start of this...

IMG_0425-1.jpg


IMG_0451-1.jpg


After the parade, I might try and harass Dave to go and line up to see...

PrincesstheFrog.jpg


Then after meeting a Princess and her Prince we will grab a FP for...

JungleCruise.jpg


and then catch a ride on...

pirates-of-the-caribbean.jpg


After Pirates, I think we might go and get one of these babies...

IMG_2322-1.jpg


Whilst enjoying a yummy dole whip we sit back and relax and do a bit of people watching and then wander around...

Agrahbah.jpg

Sorry about the teeniness, couldn't find a decent picture.

After that we might try and catch a ride on...

IMG_2861-3.jpg


...before the park close for MNSSHP. After that I guess we will catch...

Boat.jpg


...back to the Poly to relax a bit more, maybe browse around the stores and then head to the room to smarten up for our ADR at...

CaliGrill.jpg


We have a 9:25pm ADR, but we might try and make it a bit earlier and if we can order our appetisers and go upstairs to watch...

Hallowishes.jpg


Then back downstairs to enjoy a yummy meal before ending the night with a romantic stroll around the tiki lit paths of the Poly

Sorry if the last bit sounded rushed, but I am late for work and gotta dash

TTFN :tigger:
 
Stefy, there is no need to go up and down during your meal - the California Grill is ON the 14th floor! :goodvibes

If you get lucky and you get a table by the window you can even enjoy the fireworks while enjoying your meal! :thumbsup2

Love the rest of your day 1 plans - and ending the first day at the California Grill is wonderful! Well done! :worship:
BTW, if you love chocolate - save a little room for the Valhrona molten chocolate dessert at the CG - it IS devine!

Now THAT ^^ looks gooooooooood! ;)

I think I am going to have one of the flat breads and then the bison as I hear it's very nice. Never had bison before so it should be interesting.

I am hoping to not 'jump' when in the graveyard scene at The Haunted Mansion. Last time this random head jumped out from behind a tombstone and scared the crap out of me :scared1: I am easily startled by loud noises and such things for some reason lol. I remember Stefy laughing at me in the cinema during Dead Mans Chest when Will is looking for Jack on the island. He walks along following the little piece of string and these eyes just appear in the bushes! The guy then jumps out to grab Will but man that made me jump! It wasn;t even because it's scary, it was a sudden movement I think and I even knew that something was going to happen :rotfl:

I cannot wait to ride Mickey's Philharmagic, it is my favourite ride in the world. I get to do what I want on my birthday so I might make Dtefy ride it with me over and over and over and over :lmao:
 
Love your plans for Day 1. :thumbsup2

There is something about starting a trip with MK.

Soopafly, my favorite attraction is also Philharmagic. I just love it!
