Don't break my heart, Mickey!! FINISHED 7/2!! Page 11.

OK, so I'm going home this weekend for an event and I don't know how much I'll be able to update. I promise this will get interesting soon!! PLUS, I want to finish it so I can start.....A NEW PTR!!!

Well, I might not do one because of my schedule this quarter. But, the point is - I might be going back to WDW this year!!! I went out to dinner tonight for Belle's birthday and a friend I hadn't seen in awhile was there. She said she saw pictures from our trip on Facebook and wants to go to Disney. I was like, "HOW ABOUT MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND?" and she thought it was a great idea!

SO, hopefully we can actually make this work. I'm going to book the special offer and I'm looking at BWI (easy access to Epcot/World Showcase), CR (lots to do around monorail, close to MK, good dining choices), or WL (cheapest of the 3, good location). Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome! I just was at Disney but what better time to go than when there's a special rate, right?

Thanks again so much for reading and hopefully I can have a real update soon!​

woohoo!! perhaps another trip to the world?? Life doesnt get better than that!

Honestly I know once you get back from the trip life always gets in the way.. things go back to normal.. life gets hectic again.. Cant wait to hear more about your trip though and looking forward to the pictures..

Yay for Memorial Weekend. I think we should do a meet and greet. What do you think?

Awesome choice of resorts. Joe and I love staying deluxe but since we're going for 10 days in September, we just did Pop for Memorial Weekend. Not to mention, as per usual, we OWED the IRS again this year. Stupid corporatation. I would SO love to close it but if we need it again we'd have to start freaking over...............

Weather here is good (for now). Yesterday was fantastic. Hope it holds out for the Rock Hall ceremonies.

Yeah I wanted to try Pop b/c we made a stop there on the ME and it looked really cute. The only value available Memorial weekend with the special offer was All Star Movies -or whichever one has the family suites - an only family suites were available! Only mod available with 2 beds was POR and I have 0 interest in staying there!

If I go then yes we have to do a meet & greet! Are you going to the Rock Hall thing tomorrow?

 

[wdwgirl03]

The games in the Soarin queue sound fun! I think we've only done the standby there once since we always get fastpasses and that was before they had the games (I think they had trivia questions instead) so we haven't gotten to see them.

We didn't like POR. My opinion, you are not mising much...except their gift shop which is pretty cool. I posted our itin on my PTR for September (figured I'd put them together) our details for May so you can see where we will be..or think we will be . I'm open to make changes if you decided you're going and we put together a meet.

I'm actually trying to get there today. It's going to be packed tomorrow and I want to say that you had to get tickets in advance. Can't remember. Just realized that I have to go into the office this morning (which is right by the Rock Hall) and I hope to get to it this afternoon after my appointment at 11:30. I'm a HUGE Springsteen fan and cannot wait to see the exhibit! Yeah, my age is shining through.......isn't it?

 

[inkedupmomma]

Ok, I am finally here! I kept clicking on your TR, and tgen I would try to read it, and the kids would magically "need" me.. But I ma here now and looking forward to seeing your future hubbers!

 

[tinkgurl]

Ahhh! Another trip?!

 

[MushuGirl06]

Hoorayyyyy for another trip!

My opinion would be BWl, never stayed there but the area is so pretty and you can also walk to DHS

Hope it all works out so you can go see againn yay!

 

[troobabiee7]

I had so much fun on that line for Soarin! : It took forever to get through but we met so many people and all bonded trying to win those games together... I loved it! Did everyone like Soarin' after the wait?!

I'm so psyched (I say psyched way too much ) for you!!!! Memorial Day weekend sounds like it's gonna be so much fun... hopefully Eddie's still there Don't you love the World Showcase? I would seriously spend my whole two weeks there if I could We already have four days scheduled at Epcot for this summer but I'm trying to think of ways to add more time. We'll see. Until then, I'm looking forward to reading all about your future husband

 

[Colleen27]

Hi there! I followed you "home" from your dining report, and I just have to say how cool it is to meet someone who does the Disney/Spring Training combo. DH and I have been talking about that for years, since our fave team trains in Lakeland, but the spring break crowds always give us pause. Can't wait to hear how it all worked out for you!!

 

[trinaweena]

I'm here!!!

I just got so jealous when i saw you might be going back and then I remembered! I'm going back too!! haha

 

[allison_wonderland]

Just found your TR and loving it! My two close friends and I also refer to ourselves as princesses! I am Cinderella, and I have a Belle and Jasmine (we basically just went by our hair colors LOL) who also are on Disboards- Not too many people share the disney obsession!

Yes.. Im very excited!! Its getting closer..

I think you would really like Pop.. Ive been there 3 times I think and this coming trip will make the 4th if I remember right.. It really is a fun resort.. I love the theming and its so much fun there.. I really like Movies and Music too.. Our family stayed at Sports last year- we got 2 rooms due to the # of people in our party and I didnt enjoy this resort at all.. which really disappointed me.. maybe I need to try it again as maybe it was just an off week..

Memorial Day will be here before you know it!

 

[KidGoofy]

Awesome TR so far...just getting me pumped up for my trip in June. And it is reminding me I need to get my PTR started

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

OH MAN!! I would love trivia games! Yeah, this was the first time I've ever done the stand-by line, and I'll probably never do it again!

Yeah I saw your itinerary over in your PTR but that was before I thought I was going! I'll go back and check it out as soon as I have something BOOKED. People can say they are "for sure" going but until it's booked I'm not going to get my hopes up!

I saw the Springsteen exhibit and it was really neat. I'm not a big fan of his so I'm sure people that are would think it was even better!!

The last time I was there was in 2005 when I still only cared about really current music. I'm ashamed to say that American Idol's retro themes forced me to download some old songs and learn about bands that were old. Like, Queen. When I was little I saw the Bohemian Rhapsody video and Freddie Mercury scared the crap out of me!!! But then Idol did Queen week and ever since I've really liked their songs, LOL!

PS The sun is shining today and I love it!!

Ok, I am finally here! I kept clicking on your TR, and tgen I would try to read it, and the kids would magically "need" me.. But I ma here now and looking forward to seeing your future hubbers!

Hahahaha, totally understandable. I'm just glad you're here now! And I totally had a dream about Eddie last night. I RODE MY BIKE TO DISNEY (I live in the Midwest, this is just NOT possible) and finally found the Crystal Palace (he doesn't even work there but for some reason in my dream he did) and then I went in and they told me he doesn't work there anymore and I had to ride my bike all the way back home. I have problems!!!

Ahhh! Another trip?!

Oh I REALLY hope so!

Hoorayyyyy for another trip!

My opinion would be BWl, never stayed there but the area is so pretty and you can also walk to DHS

Hope it all works out so you can go see againn yay!

I don't want to get all excited yet in case my friend is like "ACTUALLLLYYYY, I can't go" LOL. Thanks for your input about the BWI!

LOL you're hilarious! Maybe we just got stuck with unfriendly people in line around us. FOUR DAYS?!!? That's crazy! But I feel like I rush through WS to finish it so it would be nice to spend time exploring each country and talking to the CM's.

Yay! Thanks for coming over! I've been doing the Disney/Spring Training combo for a few years. It only happened because Disney had nicer hotels than the town my team trained in, so we stayed there and did a few days in the parks. It was nice to alternate between the games and the parks, and I found the crowds have been manageable. One year we got lucky and our team played the Braves at Disney so that was really fun!

I'm here!!!

I just got so jealous when i saw you might be going back and then I remembered! I'm going back too!! haha

Yay!! You're back! I can't believe you got sick, that's terrible. But like you said - you're going back soon!!!

Just found your TR and loving it! My two close friends and I also refer to ourselves as princesses! I am Cinderella, and I have a Belle and Jasmine (we basically just went by our hair colors LOL) who also are on Disboards- Not too many people share the disney obsession!

AWWW! I want to be Jasmine when I dye my hair back brunette LOL!!! We went by our hair color, too. I'm jealous your friends are on here. Mine wouldn't be caught DEAD on a Disney message board!!

Yes.. Im very excited!! Its getting closer..

I think you would really like Pop.. Ive been there 3 times I think and this coming trip will make the 4th if I remember right.. It really is a fun resort..

Yeah I definitely want to try it soon. I hope Memorial wknd. works out for me, I need some serious

Awesome TR so far...just getting me pumped up for my trip in June. And it is reminding me I need to get my PTR started

Thanks for joining in! Start your PTR!!

 

[HeatherBelle614]

Ok, I found you!!

Sounds like you've had so much fun already. That stinks the flight attendant ended up being creepy, though!

I can't wait to hear more!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

I'm jealous you go to see the exhibit. I figured I'd wait until everyone gets in and out of Cleveland. We were thinking of maybe going tomorrow but we'll see.

Weather is still good here today. Crossing my fingers it stays that way for a bit. Got my yard decorated with Easter eggs and stuff and the freaking wind is blowing them all over the yard.

So, when is your next installment on this TR?!?!?!?!?!

Awww that is too bad about the Easter eggs! it's been SOOOO windy lately - I hate it!! I go back to school tomorrow in the Windy City so it's probably going to be even worse. Hope you got a chance to go to the Rock Hall! PS I'm about to update my TR!

So after we waited with our new friend for 2 hours in the Soarin’ line, we needed to recharge. We headed downstairs to Sunshine Seasons where we grabbed a quick bite to eat. Then we decided it was finally time. Time for what we had talked about doing for months – drinks around the World Showcase!!!!! We debated if we should start at Mexico or at the other end.

As you can see – we started at Mexico! We started out by each getting a margarita! Mine was all mango but the girls both had the Fiesta mixed one with a bunch of flavors. Mine was REALLY good!! Belle and Aurora liked there's but said they wish they had only ordered one flavor.

After we took a few sips of our drink we went inside to explore!

By the time we got to Norway, we still had plenty of margarita left so we didn’t try any drinks here. We wanted to ride Maelstrom but after waiting so long for Soarin’ the last thing we wanted to do is wait in another line – so we skipped it.

Same thing happened in China – still had some margarita left so no drink here!

Alright, now we’re in Germany! My favorite! I took 5 years of German and used to be able to have basic conversations, so I tried my best to order a pretzel and wine auf Deutsch! It worked! They understood me! Too bad I had ABSOLUTELY no idea what they were saying when they replied back ☹ When they found out I didn’t really know what they were talking about, they spoke in English and asked me how long I took German, where I learned it, etc. Everyone was so nice!

Then we walked right past Italy because we knew we’d be back later for dinner at Tutto Italia.

So next up was America! We wandered around for a little and I laughed at all the people waiting in the mile long funnel cake line. Seriously people, you’re in the World Showcase! Get something fun, new, or different to try!!

So this means that Japan was next. They were doing construction on the big building (I want to call it a pagoda but I feel like that’s wrong) so I didn’t take a picture of it. We saw the candy lady doing her thing outside but right as we walked up she was done. Oh well. We went into the gift shop and browsed before deciding we should try a drink, so we went back to the Sake bar.

There was a bit of a line, and ahead of us were people just LOVING the Plum wine and told us we HAD to order it. So we all got our own Plum wine and loved it!

At first. We threw it away after about 5 sips because it was WAY too sweet. We should’ve shared!!

Oh well, onto Morocco! We grabbed a Sultan’s Colada – OMG SO GOOD!!!! – and watch MoRockin for a bit before going inside to explore. We met a really cool CM who wrote our names in Arabic – SO COOL!- for us and took our photo by the genie lamp.

We downed the Sultan’s Colada and walked over to France. We took too long to decide what we wanted to drink so we left without trying anything. I read a review on the dining board recommending the Welsh Dragon @ Rose & Crown, so that is where we went next...
