Hi Mandy, I am enjoying your trip report and pictures. So sorry your nephew gave you such a hard time. He is at that age where they think the world should revolve around them. Looking forward to more.

Now it's time to Hoop De Doo, shop till you drop, and scream as your ipod fan rises and falls.

Yep another installment of my TR. This is two days in one cause well Tuesday was well boring for the most part.

On Tuesday, June 19th. We got up that morning and did DTD and did some shopping. Oh I know real exciting. I got my shopping for my friends done though so woohoo for that. We ate McDonald's for lunch. It's better than the one here at home.

We had Hoop De Doo for dinner. It was delicious, except no more corn. We had a guy in the audience that kept making the actors mess up because of his laugh. We were right againist the stage and my mom was right next to me at times because we were so close we were in danger zone. Still good as ever and of course it wouldn't be Hoop De Doo night without rain.

We finished up the show and had to take a boat back, well the one to MK was huge so we hopped on the one to Contempary and got wet in the process. Not the best night but we got back and that was the end of the night.

OKay now Wednesday, oh where do you want me to start here? How about waiting a hour for a bus! Well we got there and were waiting. There was a huge group waiting for a bus to Typhoon. It had stopped and let people off and they took off running after it trying to get on it when they wouldn't let anyone board. We talked with another family who had been waiting a bit over an hour for a bus. There were about 6 AK buses during this time. They stopped and let off people but never let anyone on. It was umm messed up to say the least. We finally got on a bus at 10:30, after waiting since 9:30.

Well we finally get to MGM and do TOT. Well my mom hasn't been on it since it opened so her and I got put up front. My sister, sister in law, and nephew and a little who boy who wanted to ride but had no one to ride with were behind us. Well during the drops my mom's ipod type fan kept going up and down while she held my hand for dear life. I wish I had the picture.

We finished up there and headed to another ride, I can't remember what. Oh we headed to lunch at Backlot Express. Food was okay there. We went onto Muppets and did that. After we finished that we started walking through towards Mermaids and that. Well the heat was getting to me and I was getting cranky. Sister was getting affected by the heat and well the food wasn't sitting to well. We did the Movie Ride and headed back to the hotel for a while.

Well for dinner we had to be at MK. We had LTT. Waiter was great.

Pictures from LTT:

There are more pictures than this but I don't have them on photobucket. Never say I won't be able to do something, I made my nephew mad by sneaking pictures of him. I'm the picture taker of the family and ya got to be sneaky sometimes.

Well after dinner, I went to the ornament shop and got my latest Daisy Christmas ornament. During that time my mom, sister in law, and nephew went on Hall of Presidents. -yawn- Well I sat down with my sister and she wasn't feeling good. She hadn't been feeling good since we left. She had a tooth pulled on Wednesday. Well we're trying to be patient, I'm telling her go back to the room. She won't listen, stubborn nurse. Well they finally got off the ride and we headed back to the hotel and that was it for the night.

Now for the next installment. We got a Court, a Kanga, and some Wishes.

An hour for a bus, Mandy? Yikes! Glad to see Sir Nephew was a bit more behaved that day! lol

DM - You MUST do Hoop de Doo... that is SO MUCH FUN! Dana got to "play the washboard" when she was 3 -quite a thrill.
Only problem with Hoop-de-doo is the "to do" to get to Fort Wilderness!!

Daddy teaching the "art of playing the washboard"

Dana deciding "I think I've got the hang of it now..." (and look at those eyes - she was SO TIRED at that point!! lol)

He was till we were leaving MGM cause we didn't RNR. Yes I know I have committed a Disney sin yet again.

Yes an hour for a bus wait, it was crazy.

That's one of the reasons we're excited about Contemporary next year we can take a direct boat there. We had trouble getting there cause of the boat running late.

Love the pictures.

Here are the other pictures I was talking about:

 

[Disneyolic]

Lovely candid shots. I can't believe they still have the same mugs as when Rob & I were on our honeymoon. We were able to keep them as souvenirs. Were you able to do that?

We didn't do the drink that let you keep them. If I can get around to it I'll post a picture of the glass from CRT.

Today we had Pirates Cruise (woohoo two hours of peace and quiet ), so that morning we ate at Grand Floridian Cafe for breakfast. I love Mickey Waffles, and they had a Mickey Waffle there the size of the plate. It had cinnamon sugar and mickey type candy or sprinkles I want to call it. Oh it was so good. Well we finished up eating and took him to Pirates Cruise and saw him off. This was honestly some of the best highlights of the trip. They were stinkin loud though, we were in Hawaii at Poly and heard from the 3rd floor.

I took that the morning after we dropped him off.

Well we did laundry that day, well my sister in law and mom did laundry. My sister and I picked him up from Pirates Cruise, darn those two hours flew by way to fast. Well we finished up laundry and laid around a bit in the hotel room. Well we headed to MK and had dinner at Cosmic Rays. It was okay food. I love the fries this year that they have. Well after that we headed to Toontown to look for something. From there we went and did Tiki room and Pirates again. Well we finished up there and headed to the candy store on Main Street.

I got a caramel apple and it was so good, I couldn't eat it all though. Well we finished up there and headed back to the room. Now this is the day of the cruise and somehow I have managed to keep my big mouth shut the whole trip about this. Don't ask how I did it, cause I didn't know. Well we enjoy our desserts and lay around the hotel room. All my sister in law and nephew know is we have to leave at 9 for this surprise.

Well we leave our room and head down to the dock. I get there and I'm looking for Laura (crazy_kanga) at this point. I find them and go over saying hi first, before bringing my sister in law and nephew over and telling them what's going on. We talk for a bit as we wait on Court. Finally she gets over to where we are after going to the wrong part of the dock. We finally get on the boat and head out towards WL to watch the lagoon pageant as of course we're talking.

We finally settle at Bay Lake and watch the fireworks with the music. It was so cool to watch from Baylake without the crowds and just be with friends. We did talk quite a bit and our poor boat driver couldn't get a word in edge wise. Laura thank you so much again for inviting us with you on the cruise.

That was Thursday, vacation is more than half done. All that's left is Friday and Saturday. So up next is AK.



I heard that all day.

 

[SingingMom]

Mandy - was that your voice answering "Doing laundry!" ?

I "wish" we could have taken one of those cruises! I love fireworks, but hate the crowds. We will have to look into that for "next time"...

Yes I didn't even realize I was on there. Yes that is my southern accent. That's the little one from Warren along with my SIL.

This was probably the only time I would be able to do it unless someone else I know does it when we're down there.
