First Resort to the Right & Straight Until Relaxation!1/25&1/26 updts!Final thoughts!

First of all..........grrrrrrrrrrrrrr to those women :mad: People never cease to amaze me with their disrespect and rudeness. And that is very, very sad. :sad2:
On to the happy stuff....:worship::worship::worship: your parade pictures! You are one of very few that has captured the Headless Horseman!! :thumbsup2:thumbsup2 Love the HM dancers too....their clothes and expressions are just perfect!! :) Of course I must give a nice shout out to my kiss blowing Captain Jack. :lovestruc ;)
Beautiful Hallowishes pictures also :worship::worship: I have given up taking any kinds of pictures at the park until I force myself to by a dslr....they are all just blah....so I will take my drink and food pictures with my iPhone until then and use my underwater camera at the pool...:rolleyes:
Great PP pictures too!! I didn't get any with my friends this trip but I think my niece and I may be going next Octoberish and she always makes me pose :laughing:

Tracy

Those women made me sick! What is world is wrong with people?!

Thanks about the pictures!! I'm really happy with how they came out! I think you should buy yourself a DSLR as a Christmas gift!

I told DH we were going to have lots of PP pics taken because we have hardly any pictures with the 2 of and so few pictures of me!
 
Before we get down to the real business at hand I must ask a question, WHY ISN'T MY TICKER WORKING?!?! It's off a day! It should say 15 days! We leave 2 weeks from tomorrow! It's teasing me and torturing me!

Now onto the matter at hand! So sit back, relax and enjoy all of day 3!


After a fabulous night at MNSSHP I slept like rock! In fact, I didn’t wake up the next day until around 8 am! That NEVER happens! Wooo hooo!

I got ready quickly because we wanted to get to DHS shortly after opening! DH was up and ready quickly too because he wanted to get to TSM ASAP!

We left the room and waited a few minutes for a bus and we were off to DHS! Arriving a few minutes after opening works really well for us! I can’t imagine fighting the TSM rush!

We arrived at DHS at about 8:10 and headed toward TSM! The FP line was insanely long, probably 20 or 30 minutes! No thanks! The posted standby wait was something like 40 minutes so we decided to get on the line!

The line seemed to move quite well and I think over all we waited 30 minute! We had a nice time chatting with a family in front of us who were from the Indiana. They were saying that they usually come to WDW in the summer so the 85 degree, less humid weather were a nice change! DH and I told them that our last trip was in January and it had been 40 degrees, windy and even snowed a tiny bit, so this was a nice change for us too!

A few pics...









Once we were on the ride DH kicked my hinny as usual!




Once we got off we were hungry so we decided to head to Starring Rolls!
It was nearly empty! Woo hoo! I got an apple turnover and coffee and DH got a bagel and tea! It was a good breakfast!

Next we headed to meet my very favorite of all Disney characters! Sorcerer Mickey! This is a less then flattering picture of me but I’m going to share it anyway!




We didn’t do anything inside the Art of Animation and decided to head to The Great Movie Ride next!

It was nearly a walk on! I think we waited for maybe 5 minutes, just enough time for the cars before us to depart on their adventure into the movies!


When we got inside to get in the car we were told to get into the second car! We have always, always gotten the first car! I was hopefully for the cowboy scene instead of our usual gangster scene!

I’ll let the pictures tell the story!













We got the Cowboy!!

DH was very funny when we got off! He said they had changed the ride! I explained to him that there were 2 scenes! One car gets the gangster, the other car gets the cowboy! He thought it was very cool that we got to see something different!

Next up was Indiana Jones at DH’s request! It was a great show as usual and I’m hopeful that we get to see it next month with the kiddos! DS8 loves Indy and it was down in January! Hopefully seeing Indy will make up for the fact that his very favorite ride, Star Tours, will still be down!

A few Indy pics...










After Indy we decided to hit Muppet Vision! But first we had to stop at the Star Wars shop to browse and see if there was anything we needed to bring home. We didn’t find anything! So we were off to visit the Muppets!

It was a great and funny show as usual! By the time the show ended it was time to check into our lunch at Mama Melrose! Wasn’t it convenient that it was right in front of us when we exited MV!?

There were a lot of people waiting so we figured we’d be waiting a little bit. We found a place to sit and as soon as we sat down we were called! How’d we get that lucky?!

Our waiter soon arrived to take our drink order and we decided to have appetizers because they Mozzarella and Tomatoes! I love me some tomatoes!!! I’m not sure what DH had! But the Mozz and Tomatoes were very good!

We both had Chicken Parm for lunch, which was also very good! All in all it was a very good lunch with very good service! I’m looking forward to eating here again next month!

After lunch we decided to head back to the room to rest or go to the pool! We stopped along the way to look in a few shops but didn’t buy anything!

Of course, we stopped for another PP pic on the way out...



continued next post...
 
Back at the room DH laid down on the bed and feel asleep almost right away! I decided enjoy the balcony! I sat and read a magazine and relaxed! I put my feet up on the rail in front of me and was soon asleep as well!

I remember waking up a little bit at one point and thinking that it was getting a little warm out there but I feel back to sleep! I must have slept for an hour or so! Finally the position and heat, the sun was now directly on me, got to me so I got up and went inside!

I relaxed some more, watched a little TV and I believe I dised a little too! Then it was time to wake DH!

We had no firm plans for the night! We talked about going to MK for the evening to see MSEP and Wishes but we opted for an evening at WS instead!

So we were soon off to Epcot via the monorail! I believe I texted Christine (2xcited2sleep) while we were on the monorail and she was either in WS or headed that way and looking forward to a dinner at Le Cellier! I was hoping to meet up with her later for Illuminations!

We entered epcot quickly and easily



and were soon in Mexico! We decided to take a little ride with Donald Duck, which was, as always, a walk on!





We stopped at …



But DH wanted a drink from the Margarita kiosk outside! Not sure why but ok! We got on a short line for the Margarita kiosk and soon had our lovelies in our hands! We wandered a little a sipped and decided once we reached The Outpost that we wanted to sit for a little bit! Luckily there was a table available that had our name on it! Epcot was incredibly crowded! I was kinda surprised but I guess it was because of F&W! We sat and watched drunk after drunk walk by and chuckled!

After sitting for a little and polishing off quite a bit of drinks we decided to move on!

Normally I’d take a ton of pictures but it was so crowded I didn’t want to be jostled around with my camera in my hand!

The only picture I took..



I thought about getting a beer in Germany but the line was insanely long! No thanks! We moved on to Italy and took in a few sights and I helped DH finish his drink!

We decided we were hungry and DH, with his less then adventurous eating habits, decided we should eat at Liberty Inn!

We went in and got online. There was hardly any line at all but it seemed to take a longtime, we had the same experience last October but then it took longer then forever!

Our wait gave the opportunity to chat with 2 men who were in the next line! The had been in WS since it opened in the morning and had started drinking with Bloody Mary’s at breakfast! The one man was so drunk his eyes were all over place! They wouldn’t focus!! WOW! They each ordered a Bud Light and paid for it! After a few minutes they left, without the beers! Say what?! Crazy!!!

DH and I ordered, DH ordered chicken nuggets and for some reason I ordered the bacon cheeseburger! Bad choice! It was probably the worst burger I’ve ever had! I was tough, chewy and rubbery! ACK! This is the second time we’ve eaten there and the second time I had a bad meal! Not sure I’ll go back! Really, I should have let DH eat and got myself some yummy F&W offering!

After our “meal” we headed out again when we got to Morocco DH got another drink and I got water! We watched the belly dancer for a few minutes and moved on through the crowd!

Soon I was kinda over the drunk people and crowds in the dark and told DH I thought we should head back to BLT! I was hoping we’d get back in time to see Wishes from the Top of the World Lounge!

So we headed to the monorail! We waited quite awhile for some reason! At least 15 minutes! That kinda screwed up my plans and I wasn’t sure we’d make it to BLT in time!

We got to TTC and waited again! UGH! I was almost positive my plans had been thrown in the garbage by now!

When we finally reach CR it was like 8:55! Wishes was at 9! There was no way we could walk over to BLT, go to the lobby and go up to TOWL in time! But we got a great spot on the bridge between CR and BLT and discovered that they pipe the music onto the bridge!

Of course, I took some pictures!





I love this picture!



I love that somehow it’s double exposed and it looks like there’s 2 monorails!!











After Wishes DH decided to go to Fantasia Market to get a few beers for us! We enjoyed them on the balcony and relaxed! We got ready for bed and soon I heard familiar music outside! EWP! I didn’t take any pictures this time but I enjoyed watching on the balcony in my jammies!

Then it was off to bed for any early morning of relaxation, changing rooms and our first ever off property excursion!
 
You take wonderful pictures! It is neat to see the pictures of Wishes and know that I was standing on Main Street with my family watching them that evening!
 

Aww I miss MNSSHP. Great pictures. And great upates from DHS and Epcot too!
 
I LOVE your sunrise and fireworks pictures. Can't wait to hear where you went the next day.
 
I have been trying to see your pictures for days. I keep reading your update at work, but I can't see your pics cause I can only see photobucket pics there. They really are good and the parade pictures are stellar. Nice job!

Boo to the nasty lady on the parade route!
 
WOWZER!!!! What great pictures!!!! I love those pictures you took!!!!!! What chaos with all those people at WS!! I have been there during Food and Wine and I know exactly what you are talking about!!

YAY for a great morning at DHS!!!!! I love TSM!!!!!!
 
That view of Wishes from Bay Lake Tower is really great! I can't wait to see it myself. The pictures turned out great.

:crazy2: Sorry about your bad experience at Liberty Inn. I have never eaten there myself, but based on your experience, I think I will avoid it in the future.
 
I love the fireworks pictures! Good to know that they pipe in the music on that bridge. Looks like a great fireworks spot!

Thanks!!! :lovestruc That is really neat to know you were on Main Street at the same time!

Aww I miss MNSSHP. Great pictures. And great upates from DHS and Epcot too!

I love MNSSHP! I'm trying to resist the urge for a trip next Oct! I promised DH a little time off from WDW! We were thinking of January or March of 2012 for our next family trip! But I really love MNSSHP!



I LOVE your sunrise and fireworks pictures. Can't wait to hear where you went the next day.


Thanks! I'm working on my next update now!

Boo to the nasty lady on the parade route!

Oh no! So because my pics are in webshots you can't see them!? That stinks! I hate photobucket! It actually more then hate, more like loathe! Thank you, that means a lot coming from you :lovestruc

Those ladies need a good, shift kick in the rear! UGH, ICK, BOO!

WOWZER!!!! What great pictures!!!! I love those pictures you took!!!!!! What chaos with all those people at WS!! I have been there during Food and Wine and I know exactly what you are talking about!!

YAY for a great morning at DHS!!!!! I love TSM!!!!!!

Thank you!!! It was so crazy! I didn't expect it to be so crowded in the middle of the week but it was! I forgot to mention that when we came over the bridge by France and headed toward UK and looked down the hill it was just a sea of people! No thanks!

We had a very nice, very relaxed morning at DHS!

That view of Wishes from Bay Lake Tower is really great! I can't wait to see it myself. The pictures turned out great.

:crazy2: Sorry about your bad experience at Liberty Inn. I have never eaten there myself, but based on your experience, I think I will avoid it in the future.

Thanks! It was really cool to watch from the bridge!

Yeah, Liberty Inn definitely isn't on list of places to return to anytime soon!

I love the fireworks pictures! Good to know that they pipe in the music on that bridge. Looks like a great fireworks spot!

Thanks!! It was really cool watching Wishes from the bridge!
 
Geeez!!! I thought my measly 155k on TSM was pretty good! :sad2: Does you husband practice at home with the Wii?!! :rotfl2: I had the cowboy this trip too! :thumbsup2
Those are awesome pictures from the bridge of Wishes!!! I think that was a great spot too! The view from BLT are a major drawing point to me ::yes::

I really love October and MNSSHP too.....I told my 14 year old niece if she saved up enough money for her plane ticket or her admission then I would take her next fall. I think I am just going to book it anyways and if she comes close that will be good enough for me! ;) This girl can EAT so that is why I want her to pay some of her way :rolleyes1 She was saying last weekend (she usually comes over every Saturday) that this was the first year she hasn't gone since she was 9 :sad1: I enjoy taking her because I know they can't afford to take trips in her family...

Love your last PP and your shirt!!! I don't think I have ever seen that one before and would have definitely snatched it up!! Just my style ;)

I can't wait until May to get back to The Ditch!!! :woohoo:

Tracy
 
Great update! :thumbsup2 Again, your pictures are always so amazing! :goodvibes

I've NEVER had the cowboy side on GMR... unless it happened when I was younger, but definitely not in my adult trips :sad2: We hope to go in May... perhaps that'll be my lucky time!
 
Just caught up on the last 2 updates...I'm loving them!

Your MNSSHP pictures are all so great. I love the one of you two outside of the HM and also all the fireworks pictures. I was sitting looking at those pictures on my laptop and my mom walked by and they caught her eye. She was saying how great they were and I told her where you guys live and she thought that was pretty cool that you're so close to us!

That's a smart idea to get to DHS like 10 mins after opening! We always mess with the herd of TSM people but I'm liking your idea better. Your relaxing afternoon sounds just heavenly and so does your WS night even if WS was crowded.

Love the pictures from the bridge between BLT and the CR! I have to make sure to walk that bridge next year! :thumbsup2
 
Finally caught up again! I can't believe you leave in 9 days again...so jealous! :goodvibes

Your trip is sounding just fantastic so far, aside from DH getting sick and the episode on the plane! :eek: Everything seems to just be going so smoothly and wonderfully!! I can just tell you were savoring that time on the balcony too. :cloud9:
 
Excellent pictures - all of them. Love the ones overlooking the lake, the monorail in front of MK, Boo to You, fireworks..... I have just enjoyed looking at all of them as this day has afforded me some time to read some different reports. Thanks for sharing!
 
I am here too.
I love trips with just DH and meeeeeeeee :lovestruc

your pictures are spectacular. I very much enjoyed this report

Tracy

He doesn't practice on the wii! I'm not sure what exactly he's doing to get such a high score! I think I've given up try to compete with him!

I truly loved that view! :cloud9:

I think if she makes an effort and you can swing it you're the best aunt in the entire world!!!

I got that shirt from disneystore.com!!! I love me a little sparkle!


Great update! :thumbsup2 Again, your pictures are always so amazing! :goodvibes

It was really cool to get the cowboy! I've been hoping for it and finally got it!

LOL! IT is very cool, isn't it!?

I hate, hate, hate the TSM rush! I think I'd have a panic attack in the middle of all those people! Especially with the kids!

It was a lovely, relaxing day! That's what I was hoping for on this trip!

That bridge is super convenient!

Woo hooo Brook! 6 days now and I really have to get a move on! I have so much to do between now and then!

That episode on the plane was not fun at all! But after that everything seemed to run perfectly!

I savored every little bit of relaxation and rest!

Excellent pictures - all of them. Love the ones overlooking the lake, the monorail in front of MK, Boo to You, fireworks..... I have just enjoyed looking at all of them as this day has afforded me some time to read some different reports. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks MeMom!!! I hope you had a great, relaxing Thanksgiving!!!!
