I don't know what to do with myself, Im done packing so I have been reading trip reports all day
Boy do I know that feeling! Hope you all have a blast!
I know, I wish we could have met up!!! There's always next time!!! And what a small world that we were right near each other!
Hey Toni!!! What are the chances that we were right across from each other? Too funny!!! By the time I made it back to the resort at night, I was lucky if I could see two feet in front of me!!!

hey reese I finally got a chance to read the start of your TR. It all sounds awesome minus the flight attendant and devons ears and your jaw. Hope it got better during the day but I guess I will just have to wait and see. We had dinner at cape may and it was spectacular! Try that next time. Oh wait I think I remember you have a seafood allergy right? If thats the case than I would say skip it cause thats the best stuff there. Anyways that stinks about the service. I was overall disappointed from alot of the CM's this time. There were many times I was amazed by how grumpy some of them were. Its not the usual disney happiness I was used too. I also thought it was funny that you had great weather in your TR title and I was complaining that it was so hot I felt like I was going to die. I guess it depends on what ya like huh. At least there was no rain. How are you adjusting to this cold weather we are having. I was shivering outside tonight. I have to break out the coats. 
Well I am anxiously waiting to read more.

Hey Lindsey! Thanks for coming over and joining in the fun! Glad you had a better at CMC for dinner, you remember right, I do have an allergy to shellfish, so a clam bake is out of the question!
I have a few thoughts about the CM's I encountered as well! Stay tuned it will be in my TR!
You know what, I agree it was hot as he@$!!! But no rain = great weather to me on vacation!
Oh, and I freaking hate the cold!!! I was shivering taking Devon to school today!!! I'm not ready for this weather yet, especially after the weather we had in Disney last week! How 'bout those Phils!!! NL East Champs 3 years in a row!!!

Ok, so where was I... Ah Yes, we were getting ready to board the boat to head over to Hollywood Studios for a fun filled day in the Movies!!!
After a short little ride we docked at DHS and headed to the main enterance. Oh course I had to take a few pictures alond the way!
First of the many Celebrate signs
What a sight!!!
Once through the turnstiles, we were on a mission to get to TSM so grab fastpasses... Our fingers were crossed that the standby line was not to long so we would get to ride it twice! No such luck thou, even at 10:15a the wait time was approaching 65 minutes!!!
No thank you, so we put our FP's away and decided that we would go watch Voyage of the Little Mermaid, since there was less then a 5 minute wait till the next show. Of course mister man, Devon was not happy about this, he wanted to head right to ToT!!! I told him to relax that after this we would be making our way over. That seemed to appease him, b/c he disn't complain after that.
I just love this show!!!! Then again Little Mermaid is my all time favorite Disney movie, so I am a bit partial! This is about the onlt pic that came out during the show and even this isn't all that great!
Come to find out after the show that this was the first time Judy has seen it!! She loved it! Thought the special effects that they did were great!
Once the show let out, since we were right my Disney Animation, I asked Dev if he wanted to run in to see if the UP characters were out. He was down for that so we headed in to find that there was only 4 families in the line so we quick joined them. Here are a few pics
Ok this picture was while we were waiting in line... Devon is holding up Goofy's autograph that he got at the Cape May Cafe. Goofy actually drew himself, and Devon thought it was the coolest thing so he asked me to take a picture of it! (Sidenote: Devon is really big into drawing. He definitely gets that from his Dad, he's an artist! )
Now for the UP guys, unfortunately only carl and dug were out, but Devon was fine with that.
What an experience we had with Dug... Devon has a stuffed Nemo that hangs from his pin lanyard, and when Dug saw Nemo, he took the landyard off Devon's neck and stuffed it into his mouth! Dug ate Nemo!!! If you look closely in this picture, you can he the landyard hanging out of this mouth! Devon thought it was hilarious!
Once our time was up, we said our goodbyes to Dug and Carl and headed for the exit, but first we stopped to see what time the animators drawing classes ran (Devon was looking forward to going to the class for months!). Unfortunately the class that just started was full, but was told that they were running every 20 minutes or so all day long, so we decided to check back later. As promised to Devon we were now off to ride ToT!!!
I just love this picture on Devon with his ToT drop face on! LOL!!
We made it to ToT to find that there was a 15 minute wait so we walked to get in the Standby line, well once we got to the end of the line, I knew there was no way the line was only 15 minutes long. The end of the line was outside right by the fountain that doesn't work, so we got out of line to get a FP instead was had us coming back in 20 minutes, so we tried are luck over at...
I was so excited!!! This was the first year that Devon was tall enough to ride!!! Which meant this since our last few trips to Disney were "Mommy & Me" trips, I haven't rode it in a long time!!! When I told Devon a few weeks before the trip that he was finally tall enough to ride, he told me and I quote "I think I will make a game day decision if I am going to ride or not"! Whatever!!! Anyway we make our way over to RNRC to find that there in only a 10 minute wait so we go to get in line... Well, in line Devon decides he is too scared to ride, so I try to reason with him telling him that he will be fine and that he is going to love it! That didn't work, he was still nervous, so what did I do... Brided the kid!!! Told him I would buy him whatever he wanted today! I know, I know, before you start thinking I am the worse mom in the world for making my kid ride a ride he didn't want to, let me just sya that I know my Devon, he is a thrill seeker, but always acts nervous first, plus I knew he really would love the ride! Ok so we watch the little preview show w/Aerosmith and get in line in the "ally" right were the limo takes off, well lets just say that Devon got VERY excited at how fast the take off was!!! But did tell me that he did not want to ride in the front seat yet! Don't you know we get to the front of the line and where are we told to go??? Yep you guessed it, the front row!!! Thank goodness Judy was with us, he switched with us and Devon and I rode in the 2nd row! Trouble adverted!
What a blast!! I freaking love that ride, might be my all time favorite rollercoaster!!! And what did Devon say as the ride ended??? I want to ride again!!! Of course you do Devon!!! See do I know my kid or what???
Here's are picture from the ride, sorry. it's a bit blurry!
After spending a few minutes in the gift shop, we decided to get a frozen lemonade and smoothie and stroll around the stores on Sunset, before riding ToT. I just love the fact that we could use our snack credits for these drinks!
While browsing, Devon find his "bribe gift" at the Villains store. He wanted one of the Viylamation figures, so I said ok, but lets come back later and get it so you don't have to carry it around for the rest of the day! Surprisingly, he was ok with that! Once our drinks were done, we were ready to ride ToT!!! Woo Hoo!!! Man, Devon and I just love that ride!!! It never gets old!!!
After riding ToT, my jaw and sinuses were really starting to bother me again, so I pulled out my handy dandy Advil and hoped for the best. Figured the best thing to do at this point was to ride The great movie ride!!!
Such a classic ride!!! Once done, we walked over to Star Tours and there was no wait so we hopped right on! I don't know what it is about this ride, but it makes me so dizzy, I have to ride with my eyes closed all the time!! I know I am a wierdo! LOL!!!
Now... It was finally time to ride TSM!!! Woo Hoo!!! This is such an awesome ride!! I don't know why people think this ride is over rated? It's so much fun!!!
Going to end things here... Will update later! Hope you all enjoy!

Just a heads up, if you are going to reqest a room in a 50's specify that you want either building 1 or 3 there. Building 2 is super far from everything. When I made my original room request I had it say 70's section or 50's building 1 or 3 only.

Hi Reese!
I'm finally caught up on your TR! I just started mine today....DHS looks kind of crowded when you guys are there.
It was the weirdest thing, the parks looked crowded like when we were walking around, but the ride waits were minimal...I don't know, but it was really nice!
Love that pic of you & Devon on RRC
Can't wait to hear more about your trip!

Hey everyone!! Sorry I been slacking with the updates from my trip!!! As most of you know, I'm in the process of finishing up my last few classes for my masters degree and have been completely overwhelmed since I got back from Disney... But, without further ado the conclusion on day 1!!!
So last I left off, we had finally ridden TSM and I was, well not feeling so great, but I promised Devon that we would do the animation drawing class so we grabbed some popcorn and a frozen coke and headed over for the next class to start.
While enjoying our snacks and waiting for the class to start, we noticed that Frozone from the Incrediables was out and had no line so Devon and I ventured over while Judy held our spots.
Shockingly, I am actually in a picture!! :lol: FYI, I hate getting my picture taken!!!
By the time we were done meeting with our pal Frozone, the class was just about to start and Devon was beyond excited!!! We get seated and the animator tells us we are drawing Mickey Mouse, to which Devon replied "YES"!!! Everything is going good in the beginning, I can't draw to save my life, I was more or less there for Devon, at this point I noticed that Devon's Mickey was looking better then mine! But, then, all of a sudden the animator really started picking up the pace, and Devon started to get very upset that he couldn't keep up with him, apparently Devon was not the only child feeling that way, other kids were actually crying. Overall, I know they are on a time constraint, but really with kids in the class, they really should take it a bit slower. Now that I threw my two sense in there, let's move on...
We headed over to streets of America and walked around taking in the scenery, headed over to Muppets but Devon was still alittle heated with not being able to finish up Mickey in the drawing class, so refused to watch it!! Whatever!!! So we proceed on and stopped at the umbrella that makes it rain when you stand under it!! So cute, of all the times I been to DHS, it never worked when we were there, so I was happy to get this picture!
At this point Devon asks if we can ride RNRC again, of course I say yes, and we make our way over, but first we run into this guy...
Gotta get a picture of the Monday night fottball sign!!! Go EAGLES!!!
We made a quick pit stop to see if Prince Caspian was out, and lucky for us he was!
Devon was in such great spirits as we approached RNRC, I on the other hand felt like death!!! At some point, I got a fever and all I wanted to do was go back to the resort, take some meds (luckily, I packed an antibiotic!) and lay down for a minute!! So we decided that after we rode rockin, we would head back to POP relax for a few and head to DTD to eat at Wolfgang Puck Express!!
As always, RNRC did not disappoint!!! I just love Devon's face in this picture!!!
We made our way to the exit and hopped right on a bus and headed back to POP to get refreshed and let Devon play in the fountains for a few minutes, thankfully he only got his feet wet!!!
Walking back to our room, Devon took a try at Twister!!! I just love all the neat little things that have at this resort!!!
Took a few more shots of the resort during our stroll
We finally made it back to the room, I took my antibiotic and some Tylenol and laid down for a minute, while Judy and Devon went for a walk around the resort. Here are a few of the pics that Devon took!!! Got to admit, they are not bad for a 7 year old!!!
So after about 20 minutes or so Judy and Devon make it back to the room and start getting ready to head to DTD. At this point the meds kicked in and I was feeling like a new person, thank goodness!!!
Is it just me, or does it seem to take forever for a bus to DTD to come??? I swear, no matter what resort I stay at, I always wait the longest for this bus!!! After an uneventful ride, we arrive at DTD. We always get off the bus at the Marketplace, but it was close for renovations so we got off at the center of town. First think we saw...
What a sight!!! It looks really neat, and it must be very popular, there was a huge line for it!!! It's not my cup of tea though! I think I would freak out if I went up!!
Took us not even five minutes to get to Wolfgang Puck Express, which was a good thing, b/c we were all starving at this point.
The line to order was out the door, but it went rather fast...
Devon order the chicken strips and fries and Judy ordered some sort of club sandwich
And I ordered the chicken quesadilla (opps def spelled tha wrong
) Which was amazing!!!
Overall our experience here was great!!! Our waiter was very attentive and the food was awesome and plentiful!! So much so, we brought our left overs with us to eat later!!! This might be my new favorite CS place!!! We will absolutely be returning here our our next trip!!!
Now that our bellys were full, it was time to do some shopping!!! woo hoo!!!
Our first stop was to the Days of Christmas store, I get an ornament personalized with Devon's name on it every year, so that was the first item on the agenda. Devon decided that he wanted the ornament with Peter Pan sitting on top of red Christmas ball, so we make our way up to the counter to find out that personalization was not going to be done until Sunday!!! Seriously!!! It's only Wednesday!!! I never ran into this issue before, I always buy one early in the trip and have it shipped to the resort!! I was a bit annoyed, but figured I still had 4 more days to look else where, I was just praying I would be able to get one personalized somewhere else before we left!!!
We then headed over to Goofy's Candy Co. Devon wanted to show Judy all the cool stuff you can get there!!!
Look at these candy apples. Aren't they so cool!!!
Continued in next post...

We then headed over to Goofy's Candy Co. Devon wanted to show Judy all the cool stuff you can get there!!!
Look at these candy apples. Aren't they so cool!!!

Next stop, Once upon a Toy, but first I had to get Devon's picture with Pooh. I have a picture here from every trip since he has been one!!! Amazing seeing the difference in him each year!
Man, was DTD really starting to get packed! I was shocked at how crowded it was for a Wednesday night!!! Spent at least an hour in once upon a toy!!! Devon bought a few things and we helped Judy do the build a potatoe head for her nephew.
Next we headed over to TrenD! I was so excited that I got to come here this trip, really didn't think I would make it this go around!!! Such an awesome store!!! I got a really cute watch!!! I just love it!!!
Took a few pics while Judy paid for a gift for her niece...
Cool Guy!!!
Walked right thru to team mickey and shopped around while devon played football with a CM!!! I ended up getting ESPN beer mugs for my dad and brothers and Judy bought a shot glass. She collects one from every vaycay!!! Anywho, while paying Devon had mentioned to the CM behind the counter that he liked his Meet the Robinsons pin, to which the CM asked if he wanted to trade, but Devon had left his pins at the hotel! As we were walking out the door, the CM said hey Devon lets see if you can catch, not thinking anything of, since he just was playing ball with another CM, the CM threw him the pin he wanted!!! He was so happy!!! He could not believe it!!! That CM really made my little guys night!!! I can not thank him enough!! Devon talked about this for the rest of the trip!!!
We browsed around World of Disney, but it was a freaking mad house so we left there quickly!!! Headed over to the lego store where Devon played for a little. It's just amazing what they can do with legos!!!
That about wraps up our night at DTD, we were all pretty tired and my medicine started to ware off so I knew it was time to go back to the resort to get some rest for the busy day that lay ahead!
Till next time!!!

Another wonderful update.
DTD is really a cool place to hang out, it just never seems like we can spend a lot of time there.
I'm so sorry you weren't feeling well on the trip, that kind of thing can really get you down. What a trooper you were! I hope you're feeling better now.

I still think it is so cool that I can see me decorated room window in your pics... I must be easily amused...
Devon is too cute... He is always happy! Can you bottle that up so I can give it to my kids!

what an awesome first day. It so cool to see so much stuff you did that we didnt even see and we were there at the same time. The food pics made me so hungry it all looked so good. How crappy of the drawing lesson to be like that obviously it upset alot of kids. Its disney for goodness sake that should not happen. I cant beleive you were sick that is so sad. It seemed like you were quite a trooper though. I cant wait to hear more. I feel so bad that I havent been able to post on my board either. Hopefully in the next few nights I will have time. I cant wait to hear about day 2.
