Four Brits hit the world the TR! ***Finished***

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Oooh, William & Mary is such a pretty campus. We went sightseeing there a while ago, so I guess I should say, "It WAS such a pretty campus when I saw it."

Good luck with the LSAT!

Thanks for wishing me luck. Hopefully I don't spaz out and get a horrible score. William and Mary is my "reach" school. Not expecting to get in as it is very competitive and they have very high entrance standards but I am going to apply anyways because you never know right?

William and Mary is very beautiful as is the rest of Williamsburg so I would love to study there and it is only 45 minutes away from where I used to live which is a bonus.

Hey--I would love to hear about your Adventures! Link us up when you're rested.........are you rested???

Pardon the interruption to Jo's trippie while I pimp my own (see link in siggie )



Thanks Jo! You may continue...

 

[TEminnie]

Wow, thanks! We don't look a great deal alike other than the dark hair but that is really cool that you found that picture.

Ok--post your pic and DM can put your head onto Lessa's body (or the other way around I guess!)

I notice that you are from Virginia. I lived in Virginia Beach for six years. I really miss living in Virginia, we get to visit every few years though. If I do well on my LSAT I am contemplating applying to William and Mary. I will have to do really well though to get into Law School there.

BA told me last night that she has plans to attend law school at William and Mary--granted she is only 10 years old, but it's an instate school so I'm all for it!
She said she thinks she would be a great lawyer cause she likes to argue and usually wins!

Have you even been to Lessa's TR? She has hundreds upon thousands of pictures of herself there!

Jo, you do know I leave in 2 weeks so I need a little trippie before my trippie.

 

[Miz Diz]

I'm afraid to go on vacation now - I'll never get this TR read. Ya'll don't go too crazy while I'm gone.

Night Night all - Now I'll lay awake in my bed too excited to sleep.

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Jo!! Already at 5 pages!!

Darnit, lemme catch up.

 

[oybolshoi]

I realize I'm a fine one to talk about updating TRs and all (seeing as how I haven't managed an update in three months) but...

how about another update Jo?


Looking forward to reading more!

What Jo wanted to happen on Day 1 (for review purposes only, copyright pending, violators will be prosecuted to the full extent of Canadian law.....which involves completing a complex analytical math problem in 2.5 seconds):

So day 1 we will be up super early due to jet lag so we thought we'd make the most of it and do an early breakfast. I've booked Akershus for the first seating of 8.30am (don't worry TE I will be shouting over all the people that we've got an ADR so they'll let us in!!!) I chose this as last trip Ellie didn't get to see one of her favourites Belle and hopefully she should be there Also breakfast is the least obscure food for these fussy Brits This is the only ADR the girls don't know about!

So I would imagine we'll be done by about 9.30am half an hour after rope drop so one of us will zip to Soarin to get FP's and we'll head over to the Nemo ride and then do the first Crush at 10am (love Crush!!!) I doubt if our FP time will be up so we might do Figment or head to MS followed by FPing TT, The girls won't go on Honey I shrunk the kids and all the Ellen stuff and SE won't be open so that cuts a few rides off the list! I've heard that Character Connection (which we totally missed last time) is quiet first thing so we'll go try our luck there also being our first day we must see Mickey Then do Soarin and if the lines short the Land. Then back for our FP at TT. This is quite a bit of crisscrossing but it should mean everything is done We will then see how we feel, tiredness etc and either do innoventions or world showcase, the DD's love the kidcot masks but as we have 5 other visits to Epcot we've got time

When we feel we're done we'll head back to make use of the pool have a reasonably early night so we can make MK at rope drop the next day!

 

[DisneyJo]

Jo--do you have a bank holiday or something on Monday?? It is Labor Day here, but DH has to fly to Milan and apparently the Italians don't believe in Labor Day so he won't get the day off....oh well.

We had one last Monday, the day we flew home!

Pardon the interruption to Jo's trippie while I pimp my own (see link in siggie )

That's OK Mo everyone just seems to do what they want on my reports, they either feel very at home with me, I'm an easy pushover or they get fed up waiting for me to update LYall/MI

Jo, you do know I leave in 2 weeks so I need a little trippie before my trippie.

I was going to write the next installment but had a PM from T so had to go read her new TR

I realize I'm a fine one to talk about updating TRs and all (seeing as how I haven't managed an update in three months) but...

how about another update Jo?


Looking forward to reading more!

Yep what has happened to your TR? I'll try and get one out soon promise


TE lets just say we didn't quite do what I'd said

 

[princessjv]

Cha Cha... You & T start these bad boys when I'm gone to the State Fair and way from the DIS. No fair! I am here and ohhh so excited! I had to post before I read though... I will be back with comments, thus far.


And MY goal way to finish my TR...blachhhhk! Now I'm gonna be busy Whilst I catch up on reading all of your great TR's!

 

[TEminnie]

TE lets just say we didn't quite do what I'd said

You forgot to shout at the CMs to let you into Akershus??
Belle didn't show up for the breakfast??
You got hit in the head from the golf ball at Soarin'??

Don't leave us hanging! We questioned your activities whilst you were gone!!

 

[DisneyJo]

So we’ve safely arrived at WDW and raring to go well except the jetlag Two things I forgot to say, upon arrival I had 2 packages waiting, one from my good DIS friend DisneyLand_Mama (Tracy) which was a whole bunch of LGMH’s which she had printed my DIS Boards name on and even tied LG ribbon on them for me Thanks T The other was 16 pins that I had purchased from an Irish e-bayer and she kindly sent them to CSR for me



Side note to those of you who didn’t read my preTR before I went to WDW I had a cyst come up on my eye so in all the photos just ignore the fact I look as though I’ve been punched OK, David’s not a wife beater really



After a good nights sleep I look at the clock to see 4am Now I know we need to leave the room early to get to our Epcot ADR but not quite that early So I managed to doze until 5am and then 6am when I just couldn’t stand it any longer and had to get up, we were all ready by 6.45am and were soon off to the bus stop. This photo’s for you DM

We were off to Norway to dine with the princesses, I booked this as last trip Ellie didn’t get to meet her favourite Princess Belle and I knew it was almost guaranteed she’d be there! It was lovely walking into a deserted Epcot and here are a couple of crowdless photos

We arrived at Norway slightly early and only a couple of minutes after checking in we were called and we were first And guess who was waiting for us ……….

It made Ellie’s day and I was so happy (I had managed to keep this meal a surprise!) We were then seated and were allowed to go straight to the buffet this comprised of fruit, pastries, cold meat and cheeses. Here’s a photo of my plate, near enough the only food porn I took as the family weren’t impressed!!!

A big platter of sausages, bacon, eggs and a cheesy potato dish followed but most importantly Princesses!!!! We saw Aurora, Jasmine, Snow White and Mulan all of whom were lovely although it seemed Jasmine was eager to finish her shift even though it had just started


Continued in next post!

 

[DisneyJo]

I love the expression on Ellie’s face in this one

So after a wonderful start to our holiday I was itching to get going, rope drop had happened 10 minutes ago you know But as we’re leaving Norway we spot Mary Poppins by the water with no queue So we just had to see her and oh wow she was amazing, she was chatting away to the girls and was hilarious did you know when flying she prefers to travel by umbrella but it makes her arm ache a little When it came to taking the photo she said to the DD’s in her poshest voice come along now chins up, no slouching She was so on

So now our mission was Soarin, Soarin, Soarin and now we were 20 minutes behind RD, I go ahead and get FP’s for all of us and we go do Nemo (walk on), this is so sweet and at one point it really feels as though you’re going under water, the last scenes are so clever too! We queue for the first Turtle Talk like good little TGMer’s and it’s great, Ellie refused to sit at the front with the kids This is the kid who danced on stage in front of hundreds of people in our local Panto last year, weird! Now the plan now was to dash to TT to get FP’s and then back but it was just too darn hot so we didn’t I know straying from the plans already So much to the girls disgust we went to the Land whilst waiting for our FP time, I like this ride although I definitely remember it being longer and going into another greenhouse Here’s the obligatory MH pumpkin photo

We jump off and it’s Soarin time We zoom on and what do I hear up ahead a big cheer and 2 dream team members telling the line ahead they had won ears, oh my goodness am I upset, it’s ridiculous isn’t it but I wasn’t happy that we had been so close, but ……………………………………

Pay back time



Day 1 Part 2

[DisneyJo]

Errrrr Jenny is that a compliment

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Ok, I'm headed out the door, but noticed you had a new installment and had to read and comment.

The girls look so excited! I love it. Oh and guess who was sitting on my lap whilst I read this? Evan. He commented, "I like those girls." when he saw Elle and Jess with Belle. He even remembered their names!

Hey Jo you can barely see your oozy eye in the pics!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

The pictures of the girls with the characters are great.

It is too bad that you didn't get the ears. I would have been jealous as well.
