Loved seeing your trip recap and can't wait to see your Photopass pics! Photopass is brand new to me so I'm still trying to figure out the best way to utilize it for DBF and I in September without spending lots of $$ (can't decide if the photo CD is worth it or not or to just take our own pics!).
Thank you
This was the first time we did PP too and believe me it is so much fun, I made sure to try and hit every photographer we came across. I would defo recommend preordering the CD as it is worth the $99. I am hoping we get a code for same deal for this year, otherwise I don't think we will do PP, as it is quite expensive at $150, not to mention the fact that we want to do the Halloween party twice as well.
Our first trip we took lots of pics and on the second not so many as we had the photopass. The thing I love about the PP is the special photo ops like Tinkerbell, Baby Simba etc (you will see those v soon) and then the traditional photos in front of the famous park monuments.
I love your dad!! So funny! It's really nice that you can appreciate all the touristy things that are right in your own backyard! We only ever get into NYC when we go see shows on Broadway. DH goes into NYC for work every day so it's the last place he wants to go on the weekends! We always say we're going to go see the tree every Christmas but when it comes time, we complain that it'll just be filled with tourists.....oh well, maybe next year!
Thanx, is a cute pic (he likes to pose)
TBH the touristy things we take for granted over here and its only now that I am just beginning to appreciate them and want to explore. I can understand DH not wanting to go into the city when he works there every day, but I am sure that if you really wanted to go he would and you guys would have a blast as, like I have, you will discover new things you never knew were there
You should go see the tree at Christmas as I am told it is a beautiful site and it must be so romantic too ice skating etc
I would go when its just been erected or a little after (whenever the hype dies down - if that makes sense).
Hi Stefy! I haven't had much chance to catch up on the DIS lately, so it was fun to read your new updates.
I Loved reading about US and IOA. Seeing you guys enjoying a Squishee and a Duff beer was priceless! I had no idea the Simpsons area was so well themed!
The palace looks gorgeous, and the maze so fun! Ben and I love mazes- there's one built in a corn field not too far from us that we visit every fall. So much fun, but easy to get lost in!
Thanx
The squishee was awesome and I think the Duff beer was an energy drink (not real beer
). You guys are gonna have a blast when you go
Thats the first time I have ever done a maze like that, was pretty fun. I'll bet the one near you is bigger than this one.
Wow! Great updates.... the castle pictures are amazing and I love the tapestries and art work. Thanks for the tour
and I agree, that chandelier is beautiful.
I liked the Block Party Bash, but we've only seen it once and it was a lousy viewing spot. We'll have to try and catch it again.
I haven't been on the ferry boat yet! That and Tom Sawyer Island.... what a great view from up there.
Teppan Edo... mmmmmmm.
Those tapestries are beautiful and the artwork and ceiling work was amazing (hard to capture on film though).
Our spot was pretty good, not too crowded, think it was at the end of the route. I sat down and was told by the Toy Soldiers to get up and dance and another one also said Congratulations to us too. Was really nice
The Liberty is really cool, a nice slow paced "ride" to chill out on, just beware of that horn, esp if you are standing near the drivers window (is pretty loud).
Yes looking forward to Teppan again this year
Stefy, thanks for sharing your weekend with us. Hampton Court Palace looks stunning. I'd love to see something like that! It seems like you had a great time with your dad too!
Awesome Disney flashbacks as well. I love the pictures.
Thanx, we had a great time. I asked him later on "where shall we go next?"
PP pics to come, so stay tuned
Stefy isn't feeling well today so she is at home in bed but I am sure she will sneak her way onto the Dis shortly
If you like flashback pics then you will love our DLP pics. Not hundreds of them but enough to get the idea of the place. It has changed massively over the past 6+ years and we will try and get back one day but pricing it up is like pricing up a week in orlando!
I think she is going to start with our Photopass pics first and go from there
Miss you
Yes have sneaked on to update you all
I hope Stefy feels better soon. Sorry to hear that she is not feeling well.
can't wait to see DLP pictures as well as Photopass.
Thanx, so annoying as I never usually get sick
Update coming right up
We're on the regular dining plan, so all of these ADRs I've added with have to be OOP. Chances are good I'll cancel several of them. I'm most excited about the Pirate League with just me and the boys. I'm going to do it with them and I think it will be lots of fun. For that reason alone I may end up doing Photopass. You know I'll want pictures of the 3 of us together in our pirate garb
, i'm always a bit awkward in photos but with only 2 people it just seems like a good idea so we don't have to rely on passers by to offer to take one of us together...if that makes sense?Its hard when there are only ywo of you. We are gonna try and be more creative and do self portraits of each other. Sometimes we find that we don't need to ask anyone to take our pic, they just seem to ask us and then of course we reciprocate if need be.
