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

[OhioDisneyLover]

Next up was Buzz. I wanted to see if I could beat Joe again. I never can beat him at any video game...except Buzz.

.

Anyone care to guess who got this score?!??!?!!?

Oh yeah....that would be ME!


After Buzz we went to say hello to Stefy and Soopafly's friend Stitch.

My sister was going to take our picture because she didn't really want to be in the picture for some reason. Stitch gave her the business so she ended up being int he picture.

Next up was a relaxing ride on the TTA. Of course, relaxing meant that there would be a bit of drama involved as well.

As we are exiting TTA, my sister says that she lost her sunglasses. Her FAVORITE sunglasses. She thought that she left them on Buzz so she ran back over there. Once she realized they were not there, she got so disgusted that she went back to the resort.

Thanks Elizabeth. Have you ever done a photosession?

I have yet to do a photosession but would love to when I go back. Hopefully sometime next year.

It is so sad how much drama you had. I can't believe your sister just up and left though.

 

[Trentmom]

aw....that stinks about your cousin leaving her ticket at resort. Did you buy it from disney? Could she have just gone to guest relations and gotten another one? just curious

What an awesome score on Buzz? What is the secret?

 

[Stefy]

I'm back and all caught up. Man I've missed alot!

Gosh what drama you had for your CP breakfast, those noises are not what you want to hear first thing in the morning on the monorail. I must admit that the monorail had alot of problems when we were there, there was one night we had to wait around 30mins for one as the Tronorail had broken down and they had to put it to bed etc etc

Great CP pics though, breakfast is quite good there isn't it

Love your Tiana and Naveen pics, sounds like you had a great interaction too


Great parade pictures for MNSSHP, I think that is my fav parade at Disney and Hallowishes for fireworks What's your favourite?

How horrible was that woman for the afternoon parade on Day 6, I mean seriously lady its just a parade and you don't have to get that crazy over it for pictures

I totally agree with you on the rude people this year, I just don't get it and it makes me sad to think that this is what the world is coming to

I am so glad your cake turned out how you originally wanted it, it looked so delicious too

Love this picture of you and Joe and the added sparkle to your bling too

Great photo shoot pictures, came out really well

Looks like you had a great time on the Cruise, they are really worth the money and you get such a fantastic view. Me and Dave want to do a Hallowishes one next year which you should so join us on

I can't believe that woman saw/found a boa on the beach, I would soooo have been freaking out. Was it really one? Or was she just exaggerating?

Yay for catching up with Stitch, hope he wasn't too naughty

Sorry for the randomness of my comments, was reading and typing as I went along

Looking forward to more

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 left my key back at the room one day and we had ADR at CP, I wouldn't have had time to go back, so I went to guest services and asked if there was anything I could do. Since I was staying at a resort, they could give me a pass to let me in the park, I just couldn't use the DDP on it.

Hope this helps someone else in the same situation!!

 

[KatMark]

Sophia, do you have ANY day on this trip without any drama? I feel so bad for you...it just seems every day has something go wrong.

Your pictures at the MK are great. And, although not a Stitch fan (sorry Stefy and Dave), it is a great pictures.

 

[Queenofallthings]

Great update Sophia! I have no idea how you get such a high score...I must seriously suck Pathetic...that`s what I am

Can`t believe your sister lost her sunglasses....I am so picky with my sunglasses when I actually find a pair I like I always seem to either sit on them or leave them somewhere

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

I actually have done that to my family a lot in the past...I just got up and left .... chickened out so to speak. She just wasn't into it for some reason. That's okay though because she rode stuff I won't even think about riding..like Tower of Terror.

aw....that stinks about your cousin leaving her ticket at resort. Did you buy it from disney? Could she have just gone to guest relations and gotten another one? just curious

What an awesome score on Buzz? What is the secret?

The ticket wasn't part of a room package. We got it a la carte and just added her to the room since she wasn't on the original ressie. Since we did it that way, we couldn't request a replacement.

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."

Hope this helps someone else in the same situation!!

That will work if your room key is coded with your tickets too. Since we added her to our ressie as a guest (she was only there 4 nights) her KTTW had room only on it. Great suggestion though if you have everything on your KTTW card.

Sophia, do you have ANY day on this trip without any drama? I feel so bad for you...it just seems every day has something go wrong.

Your pictures at the MK are great. And, although not a Stitch fan (sorry Stefy and Dave), it is a great pictures.

Well, actually, I don't remember a day without drama really. Honestly, I'll take a day with drama at Disney any day though!!!

We had a great time at MK!

It was just last year that I started to do well on Buzz. There are a few tricks....the back of the hand on the orange monster will get you some serious points. There is this thingy that turns up top near the ceiling in one room that gets you 100,000 a hit. Great description, isn't it?

I'm back and all caught up. Man I've missed alot!

Welcome back. SSSSSSSSSSSSllllllllllllll That's Stevie walking on the keyboard again. He says welcome back too.

Gosh what drama you had for your CP breakfast, those noises are not what you want to hear first thing in the morning on the monorail. I must admit that the monorail had alot of problems when we were there, there was one night we had to wait around 30mins for one as the Tronorail had broken down and they had to put it to bed etc etc

I was actually a little scared to be honest. It was such a horrible noise. I figured that they'd make us get off of it at the next stop but they kept it moving.

Great CP pics though, breakfast is quite good there isn't it

Love CP for breakfast. THey have some great stuff on their buffet.


Love your Tiana and Naveen pics, sounds like you had a great interaction too

I am so glad that my brother spotted her. She was so nice and so was Naveen.

Great parade pictures for MNSSHP, I think that is my fav parade at Disney and Hallowishes for fireworks What's your favourite?

I have to agree. I really do like Hallowishes best. I like the parade too but boy, I really miss Spectro. That's my favorite music.

How horrible was that woman for the afternoon parade on Day 6, I mean seriously lady its just a parade and you don't have to get that crazy over it for pictures

She was a piece of work. I could not believe it!

I totally agree with you on the rude people this year, I just don't get it and it makes me sad to think that this is what the world is coming to

I can't wait for you to start your TR. I wondered if you encountered rude people this year too.

I am so glad your cake turned out how you originally wanted it, it looked so delicious too

It was so yummy!!! I wish I had some now.

Love this picture of you and Joe and the added sparkle to your bling too

Great photo shoot pictures, came out really well

Thanks. We were really happy with the session this year.

Looks like you had a great time on the Cruise, they are really worth the money and you get such a fantastic view. Me and Dave want to do a Hallowishes one next year which you should so join us on

That sounds like a lot of fun! Hopefully we can book one after they finalize the dates for MNSSHP next year.

I can't believe that woman saw/found a boa on the beach, I would soooo have been freaking out. Was it really one? Or was she just exaggerating?

I have to think that she was exaggerating. I never got to see it.

Yay for catching up with Stitch, hope he wasn't too naughty

We had great interraction with him. There wasn't a line when we saw him so he really messed with my sister before the picture which was pretty funny.

Sorry for the randomness of my comments, was reading and typing as I went along

Looking forward to more

Glad to have you back!

Our next stop was Carousel of Progress. We went over to check out our great big beautiful tomorrow.

Next we headed over to Monsters, Inc. I think that it's such a cute show. I never get tired of it.

After Monsters we headed towards Main Street to do a bit more shopping. We wanted to see if we could trade vinylmations again.

I heard the funniest thing while we were walking past the HUB. Some lady says to her kid, "let's go to Tomorrowland where it's a small world is." Um lady, apparently you didn't do your homework. Not only is it's a small world not in tomorrowland...it's also CLOSED. I often wonder how that worked out for her.

I stopped to take a few more pictures on our way out.

We originally had an ADR for The Wave that evening but we canceled it. My nephew's nana, 2 aunts and uncle were going to drive up from Tampa and we wanted to spend some time with them.

My brother stayed back and did his laundry. We were going to Earl for dinner and he asked us to just bring him something back.

We took two cars to DTD. OMG, you should have seen the place. To say that it was packed was an understatement. Some of us got in line while others scouted for a table. Yikes, this place was mobbed!!!!!! As usual, it was totally worth the wait. No pictures though because it was so crowded you could barely move and I didn't want to start digging out my camera and such.

After dinner I went on the hunt for some last minute gifts. I was thinking of taking back the shirt that I bought that I thought I'd wear for pictures. I didn't end up wearing it at all and figured I'd like to return it. I didn't do it though because it was so packed that you couldn't even walk in World of Disney. We browsed a few other shops and then my cousin and I got a bit silly.

We went to Once Upon a Toy where again the boys were messing with vinylmations. My cousin found the most hilarious button I have ever seen. We each got one for work. Mine is sort of hidden in my office. You press it and it says "I'm surrounded by idiots."

We went outside and she decided that Buzz needed some lovin'.

People were giving us the stink eye because they were in line to get pictures of Buzz with their kids and we didn't have kids, but we didn't care.

We went to Tren D again because I just can't stay away from that dang store. We figured it was time to get back to Earl to get my brother's sandwhich. Holy crap! The line was all the way INTO MICKEY'S PANTRY!!!!! Yep, it was THAT long. Joe and I took turns standing in line. It was quite the wait. I couldn't get over the line. Never seen anything like it.

On our way back to the resort there were check points set up on the main road. I thought that was sort of strange. They were stopping all cars asking where you were going. We figured out why a few seconds later. It was an awesome view for Hallowishes. Since the dang line of cars was so long, we actually got to see some of the fireworks. Yay!

When we got back to the resort there wasn't any parking. Would have been a great time for Joe to use his handicap pass, if indeed he had remembered to bring it with us on vacation. I was wondering if he had any pain on the trip at the end of the day but I knew if I'd ask him he'd say no because he was the one that left the pass at home. Now, if I left it at home and he had pain, I'd know about it!

A group of us went swimming. I didn't go. Joe was fixing "The Nana's" laptop. She brought it with her. It was brand new and when my nephew went to visit her for a month in the summer he did something to it and as we call it he gave the machine "the koukamunga" so Joe fided it for her. Gotta love the IT guys. Always on duty, even while on vacation.

Disney, Day 9 - Craptastic Stuff/Drama = My cousin leaving her ticket at the resort and missing out on an awesome afternoon at MK; the flipping line at Earl

Disney, Day 9 - Fun Stuff = Meeting Queen and Jasmine, getting to see part of Hallowishes from the car and my score on Buzz

 

[Trentmom]

We love Carousel of Progress. Such a classic.

We did Monsters Inc the night of the halloween party and there were like 20 people in there. So both Trent and my friend daughter jokes got used..so cool hearing their names.


Earl of Sandwhich is so good. Those lines sound insane

 

[Stefy]

Cool pics from COP, we must get round to doing that at some point

Monsters Inc is so awesomely funny, esp when they pick out "that guy"

I can believe the line being that long for EoS, but like you say the food is worth it

Great pictures, as always

 

[wdwgirl03]

Woo for maxing out on Buzz!! I take it you won then. haha

Ooh, so did you trade any vinylmations? I kind of want to try that when we go in March.

IASW in Tomorrowland. Nice. Gotta love hearing other people's conversations.

That's crazy how busy DTD was!

 

[annmarieda]

Wahoo!!! I am all caught up now. what great updates.

Your parade pics and the pics of wishes are amazing. I am so jealous. I think I may need a new camera cause the pictures I have been getting lately, are so bad.

You mentioned the grapes at WDW... right!?! First time my youngest dd had them, she could not get enough of them. She requested them at every meal. I started to wonder why and tried some. Holy cow! They are the sweetest grapes I have ever had.

How frustrating that your cousin had to go back to the resort for her ticket and then stayed there.

Sounds like the cruise was excellent too! I am going to have to talk dh onto doing something like that someday.

I love CoP.

Have you ever done CoP? If not, you should defo put it on your list!!

I always wanted Joe to get picked to be "that guy."

Food is so worth it at Earl, but only if you are in the mood to stand in line.

Woo for maxing out on Buzz!! I take it you won then. haha

Yes, I won.

We traded a TON of vinylmations. We ended up coming home with 17 of them. JOe was so mad that he traded away the most hard to get Muppet. The bad guy pig, whose name escapes me at the moment. We are still on the hunt for Buzz, but we did get Kermit which is a hard one to get.

You could not help but hear that lady because she was practically screaming it to her kids....lots of heads turned at that one.

Wahoo!!! I am all caught up now. what great updates.

Thanks. I am really in need of several photography classes before we go back next time. We researched like fools before Joe got me this camera but sheesh, I still have a LOT to learn about it.

What the hell do they put on those grapes??? Honestly, they are the best! I couldn't get enough of them.

I felt bad for my cousin but really, I should have said something to her before we left. I knew she wasn't feeling great so it was okay that she stayed back. I just wanted her to see MK though.

The cruise was amazing. I am so glad that we did it!

I looked on the bag for a list of ingredients..all it listed was grapes...yeah, right!

I don't believe it. There has to be something else in them either that or it's just so dang hot and the grapes are nice and cold that it makes them taste better.

 

[KatMark]

Great update again, Sophia.

We missed COP this year...darn. That's where I take my nap every year.

Love your cousin kissing Buzz. And the heck with those giving the "eye"--Disney is for EVERYONE and we are kids when we are there too.

I hate when DTD is that crowded and you can't walk around the stores...takes the "magic" out of it.

 

[Victoriasmom98]

I am loving your updates!!! Your pics are amazing. I think someone asked before, but I can't find your answer.......what kind of camera do you have???
