Hey everyone. Some of you may know me and some of you may not. I don't post much, I mostly do a lot of lurking, but I am a faithful podcast listener since the first episode and I visit the boards almost everyday. One of my favorite things to do is read the trip reports and reviews so I thought that I would try to write a TR during this trip. I did post almost all my pics live last year. After getting here I realize I don't really have the time to do a good trip report and still get to sleep at a decent enough hour to be able to get up and have an early start in the morning (I hate the morning as it is). So maybe I'll do that when I get home. In the meantime I will go ahead and post my photos. If you are like me that is what you like the most anyways.
Here's a little background on our trip. We arrived on Sunday Sept. 27 for a two week stay. We are staying at Pop Century and we are using the Deluxe Dining Plan. For the first few days of our stay it is myself, my wife, and my two year old daughter. I had visited here once as a kid when I was around age 12 or 13 (1995 or 96) and my wife had never visited. We decided we wanted to visit and made our first trip in 2005 during Sept/Oct when they offered Free dining. It was for two weeks. We decided to come back the next year, at the same time, and stayed for 11 nights. In 2007 our Daughter was born and we did not visit due to that. Last year we came for 2 weeks, September again, for our daughters first trip and now we are back again.
Anyways I will get to the good stuff. I really enjoy taking photographs. I decided to upgrade from a point and shoot to a DSLR this summer, I purchased a Canon Rebel T1i. Unfortunately I have not been able to purchase any additional lens' yet so all I have is the 18-55 kit lens. To get to the point there will be lots of photos.
We arrived about 12:00 Noon on Sunday and went to Magic Kingdom to catch a few rides and then came back when our room was ready to settle and unpack before we headed to Epcot for the evening. The food porn photos from this day are from Pinocchio's Village House and Nine Dragons.
Monday we went to Magic Kingdom All day. The food porn photos this day are from Liberty Tree Tavern Lunch and The Wave Dinner
Tuesday we went to Epcot. We intended on staying all day but it was so HOT we decided to come back and take a break at lunchtime and return in the evening. The food porn from this day is from Kona Cafe for breakfast and Tutto Italia for dinner. We ate at the Eveything Pop food court for lunch and forgot to take pics. It wasn't worth it anyways, it was terrible and we won't be eating here again during our trip. Tuesday was also my birthday and I was able to get the free gift card.
Wednesday, today, we took the day off and took it easy. We slept in
till like 10 then got up and got ready and went to Downtown Disney for lunch at Wolfgang Puck Express. We returned to the room to swim and relax then returned to DD for dinner at Raglan Road.
Tomorrow, we have more family arrveing to stay with us for a few days. My parents, my grandparents (my mothers parents) and my other grandmother (my fathers mother) are joining us until next Tuesday. We have LOTS planned while they are here so I may not get too many updates in during this time. Tomorrow they should arrive here at the resort around 11:00 AM and we are doing Hollywood Studios all day with dinner at 50's Prime Time.
Friday we are doing Animal Kingdom during the morning then coming back to rest for awhile before heading over to Narcoossees for dinner then MNSSHP. (Wait till you see my daughter's costume and the shirts we got made).
Saturday we are doing Magic Kingdom all day with dinner at California Grill.
Monday and Tuesday we are doing Epcot with food and wine plus dinner at Rose and Crown and Teppan Edo.
If you are interested in a sort of written trip report, I have been posting lots of live updates on my facebook account from my blackberry. I am already facebook friends with most of the regulars on here but if I'm not your friend already feel free to request my friendship (just put your DIS name on the request.http://www.facebook.com/scott.price
You can also look at all my photos there as I post them. I love getting all the comments and interacting with all the other Disney Lovers out there
So since you read all of this... here are the photos:
