Great TR. I can't wait to read more about your trip.

We called Coral Reef and asked if the diver was available. I am sorry that they would not do it for you. Here is a picture of the diver.

Great pic!

Hey Leyla,

Great update!
So glad you enjoyed Coral Reef, I booked this week for our April trip!
When I read the words on your menu, I had tears in my eyes!
Haven't had much time to Dis lately, but now I'm all caught up.
Would love to get the diver sign if possible! How did you contact Debbie?


Ruth

aww, thanks! You'll enjoy it there! I cannot remember her number or where I found it. Abby's Dad, Fred, might now. He got a sign.

Hi!!! I just found your trip report and I've spent 1/2 the day reading it, i love the details and the pictures (too bad i'm only on dial-up they take forever to load ) I'm glad u liked CR, we loved it too when we went in May. I got my parents a divers sign for their 25 wedding anniversary along w/the menus. After the diver showed my parents their sign he turned it over and it mentioned my recent college graduation that i had told deb about. It was def some disney magic!! Great Job so far!!

Well, thank you and I'm having a blast writing it and will have another installement up today! So cool you got a sign!

Leyla, I found my cameo.

Lets get back to our shopping for a sec There are some big sales going on here right now and I ran out for some shopping while I had color processing yesterday! 10 pieces of clothes at Children's Place for $42! I'm going back this morning to treat myself since tips were great this week.

Great TR. I can't wait to read more about your trip.

Ruthie, we are going to be at WDW at the same time!

Thank you! I flew through my updates so fast last week but have had a ton going on lately. Next one coming up!






I cannot imagine having a desk job! My back has been killing me sitting at the computer all last week!

 

[pierresgirl]

Today is Tues. morning, Sept 25, the day I've been anticipating AND dreading! It's the day the Hannah Montana tickets went on presale to fan club members. Most of you know Bella paid her own membership to Mileyworld by working at the pizza shop and since the presale is one of the perks I was for it (not financially, of course, that's her job)

I logged online at about 7 am and caught up on all my onine celeb gossip (totally guilty pleasure!) and of course my Dis'ing! A little while later we called my niece who had gotten an Enchanted phone call from Cinderella the night before. I had told my sis to expect a call but I wouldn't say who from so they could both be surprised. WAS SHE EVER! My sis said her jaw hit the ground and afterwards she said "I knowed how Cinderella called me. She gotted my number from Bella" So cute! I forgot to mention I set up a call from Tigger the night before we left but they fought over the phone instead of sharing it and missed it. SO annoying!

We planned for Pierre to take the kids to the pool this morning and I would meet them over there *hopefully* with good news. So at 9:45 I was logged into my Ticketmaster account, sweat pouring from my brow, fingers ready, code cut and ready to paste. I read ALL the threads about the Hannah tix and was fully expecting to not make it but would give it a shot. It felt weird using the laptop keyboard, I'm used to a regular one so I hoped that wouldn't screw me up! So about 3 minutes of 10 I kept refreshing the page since I remembered Jenny had done that and FINALLY the screen changed which caught me off guard for a second but I FLEW through the process: 4 best available, gimme! I selected yes and was on the payment page, yes again and they were MINE, I tell you, MINE!!! MWWAAAAAAHHHH! My first DREAM of the trip!!!! Okay, so technically not a WDW dream but she works for Disney and these tix are gold, so.... hey, it's all I got, let me go with it!

I'm totally giddy and head off to the bus when I get a voicemail saying the meeting at work was cancelled. I felt the need to call and brag that I ain't goin' anyways cause I'm in DISNEY! Ha Ha. The girl who answered loves Bella and they always talk about Hannah so she's psyched I got the tickets. Then I became the annoying loud person on the phone calling everyone and letting them know I got the tickets. Ya know, I just couldn't help myself, I was too excited! I got off the bus at OPR and went to the pool looking for them. I saw Pierre at the kiddie pool with Cooper and Bella was hanging on the slide as per usual. She showed up to drag Pierre over with her to play since I was there to watch Cooper. I told her I scored the tickets. She did NOT even LOOK at me when she said "cool, dadgetoverhereandplaywithme" WHUT??!! Yep, that's all I got. Poor me. She did show me her tatoo though, it's kind of faded now but you get the gist

So remember *Tink* gave her the note to get the tatoo? Funny story about that. When Pierre took her to the stand that morning to get it he was telling the lady about the note but that he left it in the room. The lady tells him that she works independantly and not for Disney and she's not sure about the note but if he brings it to her later then it's okay. Sound confusing? It was for me too when he was telling me. What are you talking about Pierre? HE looks confused and said he had to give the lady the note. Uh, nooooo. Just money. Huh? He did not think I wrote the note, won't tell me WHERE he thinks it comes from but.... he said the writing was too fancy and too nice to be mine. Thanks. I'm making fun of him at that expense.

Here are some pool pics. Cooper looks a little morbid.

After they played for a while we went into OPR for a bite to eat. I don't think I was hungry but the kids got buckets filled with nuggets. I think the buckets are a great idea and they were put to good use later. The food court area is done well and looks really neat!

We sat outside and there were some hungry crows hanging off the table umbrella's. We saw one of those cool 4 seat bikes and thought it would be fun to do that sometime. We went to the little beach area so they could play in the sand and one of the pirate cruises were just taking off. Those kids look like they were having some serious fun, who wouldn't want to dig for some treasure?! Once they saw them they made "x's" in the sand and dug for their own pirate booty. ARRRGGHH!

Our tootsie's! Not easy to all fit in there but had a giggle trying!

I wanted me a nice refreshing drink so time to see if the pool bar was open! And it was! Back to the pool and off to the bar I went. The bartender was SUPER friendly and I told her about the Octopus Juice I had at Coral Reef the night before and she thinks it sounds delicious so whips something up. I think it was like a mudslide with strawberry in it. Apparently nothing like what I remembered was in the OJ, still can't figure out how I confused a Pina colada with a Baily's chocolate type drink???? That could be bad. But, nevermind alchyhol is alchyhol! It was oustanding!!!!! Patty at the OPR pool bar is a winner, sooo nice! She tried some and loved it and said she was going to name the drink after me. If any of yoos guys see her tell her Leyla and Pierre say hi! She took this one of us.

I went off to the kiddie pool and made the decision (after a few sips) that a liquid lunch was in order for the day. Cooper made a girlfriend and boy, was she a hot tamale! Bossy little thing and the cutest thing ever!

She has the same name as me! BO-NUS! Her parents were sat next to us and they were very chatty, friendly people. Pierre and I split about 5 of those drinks but barely a buzz. S'up with that? Pierre felt it alot more so maybe he sucked the good stuff out. Bum. Now, *I* just consider that a waste of calories. Jeez, if I have all of that creamy, delicious drink I need some effect! About 2 pm it was time to back to our room, rest up, shower and go back out. We had an MGM night planned! We waited at the bus stop stop for a little while and decided to walk back to our room. Until we saw the guy driving the golf cart. We hitched. Wish I had a picture of that. You know the kids were lovin' it and ranked up there as one of the best rides in Disney.


Up next, MGM evening! or IS it..........hmmmmmmmm

 

[scottny]

you got the tickets. sorry she wasn't as excited as you. Kids.

the drinks sound so nice. always nice when u can do that.

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

Cooper and his girlfriend are so cute!

 

[Carrieannew]

Awesome update Leyla! Congrats on the tickets. Wish I was on the ball and tried to get some for Kayla. Its all she talks about now and how they are all sold out. Oh well hehe.

 

[jordanyosh]

Score, on the hardest tix that have EVER been sold. Is that crazy or what? 2600.00 from ebay or tix agencies, I wasn't listening close enough to the news a few days ago.

I JUST changed my itineraries last night to include a morning off mid way through the trip. The "girls" are all going to Mandara Spa and the "boys" will have the little ones. I think we're just going to hang out at the pool, weather permitting.

Okay so my list of drinks to try keeps growing

Lemony thing at France
Ruby Red Martini at Pucks
Lapu Lapu at Kona
Octopus Juice w/o the Baileys at Coral Reef

and make up some drink you think you had, but really didn't....

Sounds like your day was a nice relaxing day........like the pic on the hammock...

 

[Abby's Dad]

I cannot remember her number or where I found it. Abby's Dad, Fred, might now. He got a sign.

Happy to help her out, Leyla. I used the main phone number for the Coral Reef, 407-560-6784, and just told the person answering that I wanted to schedule a personalized menu and a diver sign. It was one of the assistants, as Deb was in France at the time, but she took the info and then Deb got back with me when she got back. Some others have reported having success with two other phone numbers, but I haven't used them so can't confirm their worth or accuracy, 407 560 6856 and 407-560-6636.

Now back to the TR!

I know I'm SO psyched! She was talking about it last night and was saying she can't wait and she's going to laugh AND cry when she's there. And scream, of course!

Cooper and his girlfriend are so cute!

Awesome update Leyla! Congrats on the tickets. Wish I was on the ball and tried to get some for Kayla. Its all she talks about now and how they are all sold out. Oh well hehe.

There is a contest at Build-a-Bear to win some for Hartford so it's worth stopping in and filling out a few entries. Or 20 like I did for NYC tix.

I stopped in Build-a-Bear yesterday to get the B-a-B Hannah shirt and was going to fill out an entry form but it was for the concert I got tix for already. You KNOW I was like "I GOT THOSE CONCERT TICEKTS ALREADY, I NEED THE NYC ONES" I got about 20 evil eyes Very, very good on the drinks lists, priorities now! I took 2 hammock pics of all of us, OOHHH just remembered another one, will put it on next. Anyways, I might make the one of all four of us in a Christmas card.

Thats what Im talking about. So proud of that picture

Thanks for the tip on BAB. Not sure if we will get a chance to get over there. The closest one is at west farms and we dont go there much.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

congrats on the tickets. That drink sounds good, I always made up drinksin college, DW loved the ones I created, probaly because they ended up with about 5 or 6 different kinds of alcohol in them.

 

[dismom9761]

Hi,Leyla!

The pics are great.

Sounds like ya'll had fun on you off morning.

[kindakrazy2]

Great installment!

Wish I was having one of those drinks right about now!

We ate at Coral Reef too and saw the dive quest people down there as well. Also one sign - but not for us.

Loved that place though!

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

Congrats on those tickets!! My Step sister tryed that morning (for her daughter) and couldnt get them--They are in the fan club too. I didnt know they were that hard to get untill my sister called and told me about it! MADNESS- SHEER MADNESS!! LOL
Im a memeber of Matchbox 20's fanclub (imagine that huh-what a dork I am!!) and its not near that hard to get tickets for that

Great Pool shots- those are very cool underwater pics!!

 

[scottny]

Hanna Monatana (Ciley (SP?)) and her father are going to be on dancing with the Stars tomrrow night.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Love the expression on Pierre's face when he saw the personalized menu.

Way to go on scoring those tickets!

Too funny that Pierre didn't think that the note was written by you. That poor tattoo lady must have thought he was crazy.
