Happy 21st Birthday! WDW, DCL and a Dis meet! *TR COMPLETE*

[tinkerbell87512]

What a great update! I've got to put that restaurant in Italy on our list!! The cake looked yummy!

Ohhh the food was soooo good. Specially that pasta dish I had!

Sounds like a great meal and time at Tutto Italia and it always helps to have cute waiters thrown into the mix.

Ohhhhh yes the cute waiters are a must!

I'm sad that your TR is coming to an end!!!

what a great DIS meet you had! That cake looks awesome!

It's so great that you got to hang of with a bunch of girls who understand your Disney love!

It's so sad that it's coming to an end. It truly was an amazing trip.

The dis meet was so fun. We truly have found friends in each other. For Megan, Lindsey and I that was the second trip. And for Julie and Jenny it was our first time meeting. They are all great!!!

Almost done! You always have such amazing trips with great pics. I agree with the eye candy comment in Italy! And did they have Italian accents too? I just accents!

Have you started a PRE-TR for your next trip yet?

I know so sad for it to end. Ohhh and those Italian Boys were 100% Italian!!!!

PTR is on the way with in the next few days. I'll post the link here so be on the look out for it!!!

I've been lurking the entire time, but I must say.....

I'm so sad your trip is over! I have loved every bit of your report!

I love/hate the last day of a trip. I'm glad we could extend it a bit by hanging out in Downtown Disney. Finding the Angels Mickey pin to trade for was such a bonus! If I'd had more room in my suitcase I would have dropped a pile of money though!
And I'm glad I chose to get the chocolate dipped pretzles for my last snack as they were a great treat in my long series of flights home.

Day 10: May 23

I woke up on this day around 8 and realized that in 12 hours I would be back at the airport getting ready to head home. I showered and got dressed and grabbed my bags and headed for the lobby to check out. Let me tell you after 10 days you have a lot more luggage than you did at day 1. When I finally made it to the lobby there was no line so check out was very quick. I then had to drag all my luggage over to the holding room so I could hit the park. Now I hadn't decided on which park to go to so I had a bit of a choice on my hands. Head to Animal Kingdom since I hadn't been there at all this trip or head back to the Magic Kingdom since its tradition. Well I picked the MK. I love the AK but you have to have lot of time. It's the type of park where you just need to walk around and soak up the atmosphere.

When I got to the MK there was a horse drawn trolly waiting to take guests down to the castle.

Of course I had to hop on.Now if you read my last trip report this is exactly what happened the last time. How cool!

as we headed down toward the castle I started getting teary eyed thinking that my awesome vacation was coming to an end.

Passing another trolly...

When we got off infront of the castle there were a bunch of the show dancers hanging out and talking to the guests.

I of course had to get a picture with one of the dancers.

My goal for the day was to get one last ride on all my favorites so I started in tomorrowland with the people mover, buzz and space mt which were all walk on. After the park started to get real crowded I think because it was coming up to Memorial day weekend. I walked through fantasyland since the lines were sooooo long and decided to try the Haunted mansion. The wait was posted at 20 minutes and it was true right down to the minute. I was actually checking it on my cell!

It was getting to be lunch time and decided to grab some food at Peco's bills. No trip to Disney is complete without a stop here.
It was around 11:30 and the place was empty!

For some reason the burgers and cheese fries are just sooooo good! I could actually go for one right now!

Continued in next post...

 

[tinkerbell87512]

After lunch I decided to do one more ride and head out of the park. But on my way to splash Mt I came across Wendy! No one was talking with her so I decided to go and say hi!

After visiting for a bit I was off to ride my final ride of the trip....splash mt!

The wait was posted as 30 minutes but it didn't seem like that at all. Now can I ask when they changed that ride so you ge SOAKED? I was completely drenched from head to toe. I'm not complaining I thought it was actually funny but I never expected to get THAT wet. haha.

After riding splash it was time to head back to Main st. When I had arrived back to Main St I was lucky because a lot of the town folk were out!

Now I can't leave Disney with out getting some fudge from Main st for my family. They always look forward to it! So I had to stop in to see my favorite candy ladies!

And look at all those yummy goodies!...

After getting my family some treats sadly it was time to head back to Pop. I hate stressing out and rushing so I always head back to the resort to chill by the pool.

With a visit with Roy

and one last look at the castle...

I left the park headed back to Pop Century.

When I got back to pop I hung out by the pool for a bit and actually took a nap.

Sadly a about an hour and a half later it was time to go grab my luggage and wait for my magical express bus back to the airport.

And like I said after 10 days there is a lot of luggage...and here is the picture to show it...

Sadly the bus was on time at 5:45 and there was maybe 15 people boarding if that. As I sat on the bus I reflected on my trip and all the awesome experiences I had.

and thats when the driver announced we were leaving the most magical place and back to reality...

From here on it was the basic flight check in, security and flight. At this point I was home. My trip was officialy over.

I want to thank you all for reading my TR. I had a blast reliving it through my report. From the cruise, Disney World, the dis meet, birthday celebrations it all was a blast! I would totally do it all again!

Which brings me to Disney in the future...thats right I renewed my annual pass and I'm going back in November! And I've just started a pre trip report CLICK HERE TO GO AND READ THAT ONE! and I would love if you all would come and join me!

Thanks again for reading I've had fun writing this!!!

I'm glad we got to hang out some more too! Hopefully we can get another meet in the works ASAP!

Bye Castle and WDW! It is so sad when a trip is done... it's almost as sad when a TR comes to an end! Great TR as usual, with awesome pictures, and I'll see you on your pre-TR!

 

[Fairy_Tale_Bride]

I love your Trippies Cheryl! I haven't had time to write one in the past few months, so I have loved being a part of this one! I am glad you had such an amazing and magical trip! I'm lucky that I got to be a part of it! I hope you make it back soon, so we can plan another Lindsey & Cheryl DIS Meet! I can't believe you have another Pre-Trippie started! I must go read and join!

It is sad to leave. It was really sad this time because I wasn't planning on going back for a while. But turns out that wasn't the case.

Cheryl, I've really enjoyed reading your TR. I'm so sad that it's coming to an end but it sounds like you had an amazing time between the cruise and the DIS meet and everything in between.

I'm looking forward to your new TR.
