Happy Anniversary while singing in the rain @ WDW! UPDATE-PPass p.14 & BFF p.15 9/18

[JenAusty]

I don't have a lot of time, but I've been wanting to post on here and tell you guys..

WE HAVE PLANNED ANOTHER TRIP TO DISNEY WORLD!

I'm really excited because it was actually my dad who pushed it. and it was all because of Animal Kingdom on the travel channel- and Kilimanjaro Safari.. hehe I'll explain the story when I have more time. But it will be my first family trip to Disney World staying onsite! We aren't going until Jan 2011- but I'm just happy we have one in motion.. and I'm excited to plan it with my family. The people going will be Me, DH, my Madre, Padre, Brother and his GF. (My bro and his GF are up in the air- my bro has to go but doesn't like the idea of having to actually pitch in and pay for himself- sucks being an adult I know but you gotta grow up sometime.. and his GF wants to go but shes still deciding. We also aren't going to book until like Jan.. so they have a few months to decide!

Also, I am moving this weekend. Our internet will be turned off at my current home on Thursday. I won't have internet again until Mon. 5th. Which is next week. So I prob. won't be able to update over the weekend- but once we move I will be home more and have more time. Please be patient while I'm moving, unpacking, school, work.. I do miss getting on her often.

Finally a little update!

As I stated- way back when..heheh While we were eating at Coral Reef- we received a surprise from Mickey!

As were were enjoying our yummy dessert- The waiter came up to us and said "Mickey would like to give you a glass of Champagne to go with your dessert- to celebrate your anniversary?" We sat there for a minute... and I said "What?!" hehe. I heard him but it was like I was confused or something.. or I guess surprised would describe it. He again said "Mickey would like to offer you a glass of champagne with your dessert to celebrate your anniversary" We both then said- OK!!

I felt really special because even though I know they do this all the time to many couples in a day probably. I know that there were many other couples, families and so forth celebrating something and we were chosen this time! There was even a couple sitting at the table next to us that were on there honeymoon- (I knew this because of there pins- "Just Married"). I was also very excited because Coral Reef is our favorite restaurant- its one of our traditions- and since we received it here- made it soo much more special.

The nice newlyweds next to us offered to take a picture of us with our drinks!

I was also surprised that they offered us alcohol and didn't ID us. This never happens- because we both look young.

After our drink.. or actually before our drink we were both stuffed to the max. I actually had a hard time drinking the champagne because I was so full and it was very yummy. Since we walked a lot today- we decided to go back to the room- rest our bellies and try to go swimming.. before it rained.

We were lucky today because it only sprinkled earlier in the day.. and it was actually sunny for a little bit. When we got back to the room- I quickly changed into my bathing suit.. and DH quickly grabbed his Xbox controller and jumped in the bed. sigh He sure did love this game. I was ready to go swimming.. and since I had a new bathing suit- which I liked a lot.. and even though I was still stuffed from dinner- I told DH to take pictures of me in my bathing suit- "Since we are in Florida after all" I mean we are suppose to be in our bathing suits all the time in Florida.. but thats ok. Just to show you guys my bathing suit- one someone.

As you can see..my trying to pose and hide my stuffed belly.. hehe

Here's another picture he took- This picture just shows how exhausted I was after today.. and how wonderful the weather makes my hair.. I look rough. But thats ok- WDW doesn't judge. hehe

Since we were closest to the Computer Pool- I wanted to use the other pool tonight- hehe DH looked at me like "A pool is a pool" hehe But I insisted.. and so we searched on.

After swimming.. we went and changed our clothes- and decided instead of going back in the parks- we would just shop around at POP..

I said Austy was getting his gear ready for the Renaissance Festival- hehe He wanted to be Jack Sparrow- but I talked him out of it. There are just too many Captain Jack Sparrows now. And DH doesn't really look like him at all. hehe

On the way to the store- we stopped walked through the food court- and DH and I seen someones chili cheese fries- and although we were soo full.. like 2 hours ago- we said what the HAY! and got a late night snack. I mean were in Disney World- we can go all out. hehe

After our little snack- we went back to the room. I got our clothes ready- sprayed them with wrinkle release to freshen them up. Checked our schedule for the next day.. and crawled into bed. DH of course played his game for a bit.. and I read one of the Disney books- and quickly fell asleep.

DAY 3: Hollywood Studios Day! and then Waterpark and Dinner at Biergarten.
So we both woke up to "Hakuna Matata" and I quickly jumped in the shower. It's the only thing that wakes me up.

Today I was happy because 1. I was wearing my new shirt- Three Caballeros- 2. We were eating at Biergarten (which we've never tried- but I'm German, and I loveee German food). I was stoked. and 3. DH woke up in a somewhat good mood today. hehe Him and lack of sleep don't go well together.

I told him to show me his excited face this morning.. for our Day 3 morning picture.
and well... he did do that.

As we walked to the bus, I decided to take more pictures.. as you can see- it looks pretty gloomy outside. It was not looking good for us today. But so far every morning when I woke up- I would peak out the window- and it was never raining.

Finally.. we made it to DHS- and wow.. were we in for a surprise.

Up next, long lines, star wars, and wining Austy because now he didn't like this park even more.

Hey girl! I'm new and read up on your awesome TR!!! I enjoyed reading and the pictures! I do want to comment on your tattoo I LOVE IT! I've been telling my DBF that I want a small Disney tattoo but at the same time symbolized our love too.. did it hurt where you got it?? Thats what I'm afraid of haha..! Other than that, your still in some ways a newly-wed so CONGRATS! I'll keep checking for updates, I can COMPLETELY understand how busy you are etc. Good luck with everything!!!!

I just wanted to say Thanks for joining.. sorry I'm soo slow at updating. But thanks for being along for the lonngg ride. hehe

Yes it hurt- it was on my inside right ankle. But actually the tattoo on my toe hurt even worse.

 

[disneysmiles]

No way! I guess wearing the anniversary button got you some champagne! Wohoo.

 

[redlight]

Good to see you updating, Jen! Congratulations on getting the free champange! You two look so happy together. Also, I really like your bathing suit. Where did you get it?

 

[JenAusty]

Yes that is very true. I wanted to wear them anyways- but I've heard sooo many times that you need to wear the pins because you do get awarded.. even if its just cast members and other random people telling you "Happy Anniversary" a 100 times a day. It makes you feel special.

Thanks. Actually- if you read my PTR- it talks about my search for a bathing suit- how I couldn't find one anywhere- I went all over- and either I liked the print but not the style or like the style but not the print. I knew I really wanted one with neon/bright colors, and actually I didn't want black. I also was insistant in getting the "bandini" style top. Which even though I seen on TV A LOT, I couldn't find it hardly in any stores. They were all halter tops or triangle tops. Finally, after I quit looking and decided to just wear an old bathing suit to Florida... I was at Walmart- of all places and happen to see neon bathing suits. They were OP brand, I guess its new at walmart. So I went and looked. I seen this top- and although I didn't want the tie bottoms- I just tried it on and I like the top. It was black which I didn't want but I like the black with the bright colors. So I got it. So I guess next time instead of searching for a bathing suit at places you think you will find one- shop at places you don't think you will. hehe

Cool. I wouldn't have thought of Walmart. I like the bandini style too.

Awww.. well thanks. I really do try to get good pictures of us. I'll always yell at him because he's either squinting and you can't see his pretty blues, or fake smiling.. hehe

I'll be updating today! So its not super quick.. but better then it has been.

I'm guessing it was good luck. I'm really happy about it. =D It's by far one of my most favorite memories of the trip.

OK.. so when I left off.. we had just arrived to DHS. I knew that it was Star Wars Weekend.. and that it would be busier than usual at this park. BUT I honestly did some poor planning or something when we changed the day of DHS. I'm not a huge fan of star wars but I did want to at least check it out and I wanted a picture of with Darth Vader and C-3PO.. just because I feel like they are the coolest. hehe. I told DH.. we would just take pictures with them.. and do what we wanted at this park and then leave. Originally, we were suppose to go to DHS on a different day, but because of the weather and such, we had less time at parks and our schedule changed a bit then what we planned. We kind of went to the "play it by ear" schedule and was rescheduling our days the night before. Some how we ended up going to DHS on the Friday.. which was the first day of Star Wars Weekends. It was also the very first weekend. I told Austin we were probably going to be busy, but not insanely because it was Friday- and most people are working and will come on sat or sunday. Well... maybe they did.. but it was sooo busy when we arrived to the park.

Today, we our first day, waiting in line to enter the park. We arrived before the park opened =D, but it was to busy to see any of the entertainment. The closest I got to see anything was men on the roof. As soon as we got there.. DH started complaining.. see, he has never cared for this park. Which I feel this to a point. This is my least favorite... but it is also the park with The Beauty and the Beast show, and Toy Story, and the Great Movie Ride, and many great places to eat. So while, I usually only give half a day to this park- I do like to go to it. The theming is really great here.

I tried to get some pictures of things.. but it didn't really work.

Me doing my pouting face because of the crowds. hehe Trying to entertain myself while waiting.

Austy's turn.. even though he was suppose to be smiling.. hehe

Take 2:

This was the only view I had of the Star Wars.

Finally.. we were entering the park!!

Also.. just to let you know- When I'm taking pictures its usually as I'm walking.. soo sometimes the angles are weird and stuff.. hehe But I walk and snap.. otherwise DH starts to get irritated with all my picture taking.

As soon as we entered the park.. it didn't seem as busy.. but pretty busy.. but all of a sudden I look up and I see POOH! He was actually walking with a photographer- to his place. Of course I yelled "Look Pooh!!!" "I need a picture" So I ran to him.. hehe and DH had to catch up.. and guess what?! I was the very first picture with Pooh.. it was amazing.. a character picture with no waiting.. pfff!
I really like these pictures of us with Pooh. The photographer took great pictures to. there is one picture were I'm reaching to hug pooh and he is reaching to me.. I swear it looks like a true "magical" moment picture that you would see on a commercial or something. hehe However, I can't show you the picture because I ordered the calendar and forgot to order the CD.. within and then my time frame passed and the pics were lost. So.. After my TR ends.. I'm going to try and take pics from the calendar and share.

 

[JenAusty]

and then I continued to take more pictures..
as we headed to Toy Story.. because I knew about the long waiting line and FP. Soo.. we went there first!

Don't you love the gloomy sky? I would probably be depressed with all the gloomy days.. but since I was at Disney.. it didn't phase me.. unless it rained.

As we entered the "Toy Story" area... I was shocked with how long the line was already. I guess everyone knew about the long lines.. so we quickly decided to get in line and get it over with. It said 20 min. wait- and ended up being about 30 mins. I really loved this ride.. and everything around it. I LOOVVEEDD all the small touches they made outside the ride, and inside. I really love this movie and they really hit it on the head.
So I took many pictures of pretty much everything.. hehe and also pictures of our view from where we were standing..

Now.. I know these are just trash bins.. but they are cute. hehe

I loved the huge night light as you entered the building.. hehe I loved how they made us seem small like the toys.

As we were inside- I pretty much flipped out about everything I seen.. because these were all games that I played as a little kid.. and it made me smile!
Candyland!!

Shoots and Ladders!

We were getting close.. so I told Austin to pose for me.. idk why he chose the "what up I'm cool look" hehe

and I was super excited about this sign.. because the UP characters were suppose to be here this week to celebrate the movie.. but we never seen them

Your pouty face is good, but your smile is better. Loved the Star Wars and Toy Story pictures!

Yay! You rode TSM! Isn't so cool?! The line is even exciting! Thanks for the pic of the nightlight, it's my favorite part!

Yeah! Standing in line is almost as fun as the ride. hehe I remember someone talking about disney and they said- they loved disney because they make waiting in line part of the attraction.. which is sooo true.
