Glendamax, great trip report!!! I am in Baltimore too and am leaving for DW in exactly 44 days.... Hope I get to see some famous folks in the airport!!! Thanks for posting!!!

 

[Glendamax]

MJ, it was hot, but I think more humid. As a result, I took a mid break everyday, took a shower and changed clothes. BUT I would rather go through all of that with NO CROWDS

GrumpyGirl, so cool that we're in the same city! Now if I could find a "GrumpyGuy" in Bmore, that would REALLY be great!!!!

Thank you both for reading my report. When I go back in September, I think I will attempt to have pictures in my report We'll see . . .

nice report, but I'd just like to make 1 suggestion to you incase you make future ones. Try to make your report less of a list and more of a story, it felt like it was in bullet form (ie like a power point presentation) sometimes. It was still enjoyable to read though, and a good first report

Great report!
We're going to Pop Century in June, and you're report helps a lot! I really felt I was there!
We stayed off-site in December with all my wife's family and had to skip a lot of rides, we have 2 little girls. But now, I'll make sure to ride all of them, specially AK

Thanks again!!

 

[Glendamax]

I'm glad that my report was helpful to you! Hopefully this year when I go, I'll be able to post some pics . . .

I'll be staying at POR in April and I will be paying for the Dining Plan. I think it is worth the money too.

Hope you can post some pictures, would love to see what POR looks like.

 

[Glendamax]

OhMari - I have to figure out how to post some of the pictures. Someone sent me a private message with the instructions, so we'll see . . .
Thanx for reading!

Glendamax!!!We were there at the SAME time as you! (As I've already told you and poured through our pics to find you, but NO, you weren't in the passersby in any of them ) I love your report!!!! I wish I'd known about the DIS boards after last year's trip. I could have used all the tips!!!! Can't wait till this Sept!!!!! 40 more days!!!!!
Love Ya!
Utahmama

 

[OhMari]

I bet you are getting ready for your next trip. Take lots of pictures.

 

[Glendamax]

Oh Mari and UtahMama, thanks for reading my report. I TRIED to add some pictures to it, so that I could practice for my next report. Hopefully I'll get it right by my next trip.

See Ya!

 

[UtahMama]

Bumping to keep this little ditty alive!

Gmax-I love your pictures! How fun we were there at the same time. No, we weren't in any of your background pictures. That would have been funny!

Hope to bump into you next time !!!!

See Ya!!!

 

[Glendamax]

Thanks Mama! Adding the pictures to this thread was good practice. Hopefully my next trip report will be even better!

The cast for the next trip is short:
Me: 30something who loves Disney and sunny vacations, loves to watch TV , ex-Atari expert, HUGE SEAL FAN, single w/no kids YET(cause Seal nor Djimon Hounsu know that I exsist), tall and often mistaken for a WNBA player. My most common saying: No, I don't play basketball!

Mom: 60something who looks younger than her age, not a real Disney fan, but is willing to endulge her beautiful daughter! HA! Her co-workers always tell me how nice she is, to which I respond, "Thanks, I tried really hard with her". Hopefully she will retire in a year or two.

This will be our 3rd Mother and Daughter trip to WDW. The 1st was May 1998 at Caribbean Beach Resort, and the 2nd - September 2003 Comfort Suites Maingate East (excellent hotel BTW!).

For some reason, our trip in 1998 was our first "solo" trip ever. My Mother didn't even realize it untill we were there. We had such a wonderful time, and I hope this time will be even better! So stayed tuned for a bigger and (hopefully) better trip report for September 2006!!!

 

[Glendamax]

Today I am finally at my one-month mark! I can't believe that it's almost time to go, and that in one month I'LL BE THERE!!! My Mother is looking forward to going on vacation, but is not REAL excited about Disney. I hope the next time I go, it'll be with someone who is EXCITED!

Now I'm waiting on the Crocs I ordered to arrive - I really hope they get here before I leave! Other than that, I keep visiting the Tips Board to make sure I have everything. You can never have too many Lime Geen Mickeys right?

See ya later!

 

[Jennifer48]

Wow almost a year later and I just found this TR. I'm glad someone bumped it up!

Thanks for sharing your first TR and I can't wait to hear about your Mother/Daughter trip in a month. Have a wonderful time!

 

[UtahMama]

G'Max!!! I only have 26 more days!!! Happy Dancing! Hope to run into you!!!!
This is my last year as Thirty-Something!!!!!

 

[Sneezie]

Why didn't you tell me????

Your report was very informative, but I have one question: Why go on the teacups if you don't want to spin, woman?

I can't wait to get to the arcades now that I know they have games like Millipede, Galaga, and Ms PacMan. I bought my daughter one of those old-school game packs and it had Galaga and Ms. PacMan. She didn't like the old school games (I knew she wouldn't) so I play them all the time.

And girl!!!! Malik Yoba!!!! YOu should have told him I said hello!! Didn't you know my name was supposed to be Tamara Yoba!!!

After seeing the Soarin picture, I am now officially excited about my trip in 8 days!!!! I'm too excited to sit still. Plus I think I'm having a virtual sugar high (go check out the lastest on Utah Mama's top ten).

 

[Glendamax]

And girl!!!! Malik Yoba!!!! YOu should have told him I said hello!! Didn't you know my name was supposed to be Tamara Yoba!!!

If I see him again, I'll let him know that his wife is looking for him! HA!

Thanks for your responses everyone! I'm really starting to get excited about my trip now. Everytime I think I'm not ready because I don't have everything that The Dis says I should get, I remind myself that I did go to WDW 7 times before I found this site, and had a great time, so this time should be great as well!

Thanks again for reading, and I'll be back soon with more . . .

 

[UtahMama]

GM- I'll be there a few days earlier than you so I'll warm things up for you!
I have 19 more days! Did you get your new CROCS??? I put mine in my vacation only pile and I want to put them on NOW...maybe just to break them in a little!
What else have you been buying for your trip??
