Epic Mickey - 10 day girls trip - Aug/Sept! *Updated 8/25 - 7 hours!!*

[Kat in GA]

I am going to go back and catch up but first I just wanted to wish you a fabulous time!

I've tried for the Girls Trip ... but none of my friends are up for a Disney one. None of them get WDW like us DISers do.

And trip #4? Can I be part of your family?

Looking forward to your adventures!!

OH no, busy day yesterday and I didn't get on the DIS at all, missed your last day, you should be on your way by now!!!! YAY!!!!! Have a fabulous trip, can't wait to hear all about it! I may go off and try to find you on Facebook now so I can follow along and live vicariously!

Thanks all!! We are having a great time - a relatively uneventful drive down - and then today we went to Blizzard Beach. Very low crowds so we had much fun. I think we are headed to Epcot tomorrow unless when I check Touring Plans in a few minutes things have drastically changed from a few days ago (and it wouldn't surprise me if that was the case!).

Find me on facebook - I have posted all of my pictures from today - Katrina Slagle Harris

We are here and having a fantabulous time!

We did Blizzard Beach on Sunday - and it was our first time at a Disney Water Park. Loved it! I cannot believe the number of photopass people out - we had 64 photos put in our account!

On Monday we toured Epcot - and speaking of photopass - we only saw one person all day - and that was when we were leaving. Crazy! As usual, we spent most of the day in the world showcase. Shopping. And eating. We got 7 different pastries in France!

We had a little rain - and were FORCED to eat funnel cake in America while we waited it out a bit The finale of our day was to use all our fast passes we had accumulated for the future world rides.

Today we have had a lazy day. Slept in. Had lunch at the Earl of sandwich, shopped - and then DH took all the girlies to Disney Quest - which was a huge hit.

I have been thrilled with the crowds - it hasn't been nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Our longest wait was for Space ship earth - about 15 minutes - but we walked most of that time, rarely standing.

Tomorrow we are going to Hollywood Studios - so I am off to pack back packs! Thanks for keeping up with my ptr!!

So happy that you guys are having a great time! Epcot was our worst park for PP photographers as well, but sounds like you did great at Blizzard Beach.

Can't wait for more!

Thanks for the update! I have a hard time choosing from all the pastries in France! Sounds like everyone is having a great time! We haven't done the water parks (always go in January), but it sure does sound and look like fun! I better check pricing, we might have to do that when we are there.

Hooray for having a magical time so far! Glad that the crowds are light and I hope it continues through the weekend for you!

Jealous of me?! I am jealous of your upcoming trips and cruise

I don't understand why there aren't photopass people at each country. Several of them! We actually didn't see that many at Magic Kingdom either. I wish they would let you put all ride photos on your photopass!

We have done both water parks now - and they were great. I think that typhoon lagoon is much prettier - but the kids think the slides at Blizzard Beach are better. I wonder what our weather will be like in November and if we could fit in a water park then.

Thanks! We are having a great time. I can't believe it's half over!

Just read through all of the posts! Great thread and hope you are having a great time!

Welcome - and many thanks for joining in!!

And we're back!

It's so hard to get back into the groove of things!

We had a great time - I took about 800 pictures (I can't decide if that's a lot or a little - especially considering I didn't take a lot of pictures as it rained every day except two while we were there!) - and we got over 300 photopass pictures. I just ordered my CD today

I need to get myself organized to think about a trip report - and then I still have to update ya'll on trip number 2 that is coming up in about 40something days - and I need to make my reservations for trip number 3 (and 4

But here are some highlights:

We finally managed to do some new things - like Innoventions, Conservation station, the Laugh Floor, and the Backlot tour.

We ate around the world. Twice!

We managed to not have a single cupcake.

We rode Expedition Everest on a Saturday in July - with no one in line - and EMPTY cars going up the mountain!

Madalyn did the Pick-a-Pearl in Japan and got the biggest pearl I have ever seen.

The water parks were one of my favorite things.

And I did not gain any weight!

Will update more soon!
