Drama, Please End...Fun, Please Begin...A Sept TR Updated 10/31

[klacey1]

Your Wishes pictures are great--- I can't imagine how amazing that view must have been! The Contemporary looks gorgeous!
Glad you didn't have to endure that waiter again!

 

[Joyciemc]

Your trip report makes me hungry!

Drama aside, it does seem like you had some great times on this trip!

Love the Wishes cruise pictures!

 

[KatMark]

Great update, Sophia. I read about your DIS meet with Queen on her TR and was glad to read about it on yours as well. That breakfast looks absolutely yummy and thank the Lord for NO NATHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job on the Wishes cruise pictures. I really want to do that one of these days and you got some great shots.

 

[HilJoy14]

Wow - lots to catch up on!

Your cake was lovely. It did seem odd that they chose silver Mickey heads. But it didn't detract from the cake. When I saw the shot of it being cut, I could hardly believe you could cut into something so beautiful!

The photos were great. I really love the whole group shot, and your and Joe's were wonderful.

 

[wdwgirl03]

Great updates! Love all the pictures of the fireworks and electrical water pageant. And yay for your breakfast with Queen and Jasmine!

 

[Trentmom]

Your wishes cruised sounded great.

How cool you got to see the Water Pageant or whatever you call it, too. SO awesome

Glad you had a better experience at Kouzzina this time. Food looked so good.

 

[Charlefours]

Finally here to read along...

Not a good first start to your trip! First the taxi driver, then no snack and lastly Alamo craziness. Ouch!

I mentioned it on FB but that cookie looks so yummy! I will have to keep it mind for next year. Wow! Great anniversary presents from Joe. I like that line too.

Ugh, AK is so hot and combined with the undulating sidewalks, it is rough on lots of people. I am glad DM is ok!

Good to know MM was that yummy. I really wanted it for this last trip but could not get it with our large party. I hope to get it for October.

Wow~ look at those crowds for F! an hour before it started!! Craziness. Was this Sunday?

I was so happy to meet you! Much to short of a visit though.

Goodness, I sure hope that your cousin is okay. I am still reading so I'm sure I will find out. It is very kind of you to rearrange your plans to accommodate her. Did you ever find out from her what was happening (or confirm her hunch was correct)?

I will have to add another place to try--GFC! The food looks great. The cake looks pretty. The amaretto filling looks like it would be divine.

Kona looks like it should be added to the list too. Have you ever eaten there for lunch or dinner?

The photo session turned out great!

 

[Queenofallthings]

I can't believe I missed the update with the cake in itI have no idea how that happened...it's beautiful!!!

Great update....we had so much fun with you guys....I hope we can all do it again soon!!!! The Wishes cruise is something I have added to my list....heaven

 

[All7OfUs]

Well, I was getting ready for bed, but now I need a bedtime snack- thanks to your amazing pictures of WOW!! breakfast to feed an army!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Great updates. Your photosession turned out great. I love all the different combinations.

It sucks that the urgent care center was sooo bad. I hope your cousin was able to enjoy herself.

The wishes cruise looks like so much fun. Your pics turned out good.

Thanks Elizabeth. Have you ever done a photosession?

Hello from Maine!!!! It has taken me 2 days to catch up (imagine, I have other things to do other than the Disboards...that's just not right!!!! )

I love your trip report!!!

and thanks so much.

Your Wishes pictures are great--- I can't imagine how amazing that view must have been! The Contemporary looks gorgeous!
Glad you didn't have to endure that waiter again!

It's really amazing to see Wishes from the water.

I'm so glad Nathan wasn't working breakfast!

Your trip report makes me hungry!

Drama aside, it does seem like you had some great times on this trip!

Love the Wishes cruise pictures!

We sure did have some great times this trip.

Great update, Sophia. I read about your DIS meet with Queen on her TR and was glad to read about it on yours as well. That breakfast looks absolutely yummy and thank the Lord for NO NATHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job on the Wishes cruise pictures. I really want to do that one of these days and you got some great shots.

If we ever go back to Kouzzina I want to wear a shirt that has Nathan written on it with one of those circles and a line through it.

I think you and Mark should do a cruise some day. I know you'll love it. I tried to get a couple decent shots.

Wow - lots to catch up on!

Your cake was lovely. It did seem odd that they chose silver Mickey heads. But it didn't detract from the cake. When I saw the shot of it being cut, I could hardly believe you could cut into something so beautiful!

The photos were great. I really love the whole group shot, and your and Joe's were wonderful.

I had a hard time cutting into the cake to be honest. It smelled so dang good though that I really did want to eat it...but how do you eat it without cutting into it?!!!

Thanks, I've just printed some of the pictures and am decided which ones to frame.

Great updates! Love all the pictures of the fireworks and electrical water pageant. And yay for your breakfast with Queen and Jasmine!

DIS meets are so much fun! We really enjoyed meeting Queen and Jasmine.

Your wishes cruised sounded great.

How cool you got to see the Water Pageant or whatever you call it, too. SO awesome

Glad you had a better experience at Kouzzina this time. Food looked so good.

I had no idea how many times a night they do the pageant. Our skipper said that they do it near all of the resorts on the lake and lagoon each night too.

Not a good first start to your trip! First the taxi driver, then no snack and lastly Alamo craziness. Ouch!
I was starting to freak out very early in the trip!

I mentioned it on FB but that cookie looks so yummy! I will have to keep it mind for next year. Wow! Great anniversary presents from Joe. I like that line too. That cookie was so dang good. I want one now! I love my anniversary gifts. I've been using them every day since we got home.

Ugh, AK is so hot and combined with the undulating sidewalks, it is rough on lots of people. I am glad DM is ok! Why is it so dang hot there all the time?

Good to know MM was that yummy. I really wanted it for this last trip but could not get it with our large party. I hope to get it for October.I'm so glad that we decided to eat there. I can't wait to go back. Glad that you are going to try it in October.

Wow~ look at those crowds for F! an hour before it started!! Craziness. Was this Sunday?It was insane that night! Yep, it was Sunday.

I was so happy to meet you! Much to short of a visit though. I was happy to meet you too. Wish we had more time to chat!

Goodness, I sure hope that your cousin is okay. I am still reading so I'm sure I will find out. It is very kind of you to rearrange your plans to accommodate her. Did you ever find out from her what was happening (or confirm her hunch was correct)?It ended up going away after a few days. By the time we got home she was much better. We never did get a proper diagnosis.

I will have to add another place to try--GFC! The food looks great. The cake looks pretty. The amaretto filling looks like it would be divine. OMG, the GFC is amazing. Honestly, I can't imagine not going there every trip! The filling was incredible in that cake. I wish I had a piece right now!

Kona looks like it should be added to the list too. Have you ever eaten there for lunch or dinner? We have not but I plan to eat there for dinner next year. I hear it's pretty good.

The photo session turned out great!

Thanks! Have you done one?

I can't believe I missed the update with the cake in itI have no idea how that happened...it's beautiful!!!

Great update....we had so much fun with you guys....I hope we can all do it again soon!!!! The Wishes cruise is something I have added to my list....heaven

Hi there! The cake was so yummy! Worth every darn point!!!

We had a great time too and hope we can do it again in the future. I think you and Jasmine would love the Wishes Cruise.

Well, I was getting ready for bed, but now I need a bedtime snack- thanks to your amazing pictures of WOW!! breakfast to feed an army!

Hi Liesa! Yes, there was a ton of food for breakfast. I don't think everyone finished everything though. I know that I did. I had the waffles and they were so good!

So sorry I haven't posted in a while, Sophia! Somehow I fell behind on all my subscribed threads - real life got in the way, I guess.

Okay, so the things I still need to comment on .....

your cake ...... a w e s o m e!!! And what great news that you really got your TIW discount!

the Wishes cruise looks wonderful. Guess I need to be on my toes so we can do one next year.

AND I cannot believe all the things that happened on your trip! I kept telling Tom about it and he couldn't believe it either.

Well, at least I have caught up now. Hope I won't fall that far behind again!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

I believe his name was Jeff (Geoff). He reminded me of the host from Survivor and he was a really nice guy.

Yes, I think you are right. His name was Geoff. I remember his name tag and Matt asking me if his name was G-off.

I think you should consider the Wishes Cruise. I think that you and Tom will really enjoy it!

It sure was the trip of drama for us this year! I am crossing my fingers that next year will be different! There were many, many fun times and great Dis meets though so I really can't complain.

I am so far behind on my subscribed threads right now. I hope to spend the weekend catching up if I don't have a chance to do so before then.

The only thing that would make a Wishes Cruise better, is a Hallowishes cruise!

 

[DisneyMom]

Wish things had gone better for you - your pictures are AMAZING! What kind of camera do you have? They're so sharp and clear!

 

[All7OfUs]

I completely, totally missed that update about you getting sick over the butter- that being the reason you couldnt' meet up with us!! I was so sad, and wondered what had gone wrong. I wish I had known!! We had the car that night, and totally would have come to pick you up and got you home!! In fact, we'd have much rather done that!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

I agree! When we originally booked it was suppose to be Hallowishes Cruise but Disney changed the dates of MNSSHP after we booked the cruise.

Wish things had gone better for you - your pictures are AMAZING! What kind of camera do you have? They're so sharp and clear!

Thanks. I used 2 cameras this trip. I used a point and shoot Cybershot and I also used a Canon Rebel Xti. I had three lenses for the Canon but used only two of them.

Thanks Liesa. I could not believe how sick I got. We had a car too but getting there was NOT fun. Once we got to the resort I had to get to our room too. Ugh, I was so mad at myself for forgetting to tell them not to put butter near the plate!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

I left you wondering who made it to MK after our breakfast with Queen and Jasmine.

We once again made our way back to the dock to take the boat over to MK. Everyone but mom was game for MK.

Yay, we made it!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Of course, we couldn't make it here without a bit of drama.

We got off of the boat and made our way to the bag check. My cousin saw us all getting out our park passes and said "do we need those?" I freaked a bit and at first thought that she was kidding. I asked her where her ticket was and she said it was at the resort because she didn't think she needed it since we were already "here."

She said she'd go back to the resort to get it. We said one of us would go with her and she said that was okay that she'd just go. Well, she went back and then sent a text that she was just going to stay there. Part of me freaked a bit because I wanted her to get some use out the 4 day hopper pass that we just got for her and I wanted her to see MK during the day time. I felt so bad. I wanted to go back and get her! I think she was just upset at forgetting her pass and wanted to stay at the resort.

Just as we arrived, this was starting so we stopped to watch. You just have to sing along!

I was so happy to see Lumier who is referred to as "my boyfriend."

This time we noticed that there were cranes up that were not there earlier in our trip. Man, I hate those things. It just takes away from the magic!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Joe ducked into the watch store to have a link removed out of his watch. We also looked to trade a vinylmation before heading back to Fantasyland.

First stop was Snow White. The wait said 20 minutes but it was more like 5!

Check out our mine car....how appropriate.........

Next stop was my favorite MK attraction....Mickey's Philharmagic. I could stay in the theater all day if they'd let me.

It was time for lunch so our next stop was Cosmic Ray's. That place is a zoo! It is packed all the dang time!!!! Finding a table is usually next to impossible. Joe found one while I waited in line. I sort of don't like the various lines all serving just one or two things. Waiting in line more than once stinks so I just usually get whatever it is that Joe wants so I only have to stand in one line. And what is it with grapes at Disney? They are always so good!!!

After lunch, we headed over to Pooh. So tell me, how many of you walked past the queue? It's so screwed up right now you can't even tell if it's open!

After Pooh we checked out the signs on the construction wall. It is really a mess back there and I hate to have to see the mountain of dirt. Magic buster for me again.
