Happy Mickey-versary for 15 yrs! An Oct. 2011 PTR NEW: 11/13 Pretend Disney? & TRlink

My parents did the KTTK tour and really loved it. I'm thinking on my next trip I might book it!
Your last day plans sound great. Kinda neat that you're doing the tour last -- that way it will be magical throughout the trip, and then the very last thing you get to see is the inner workings of the magic.

KTTK sounds like a great way to spend your last day! That tour has always sounded really fun and informative to me, I'm sure you're going to have a great time!

I think so too! have thought of doing a behind the scenes tour for quite sometime so this trip was the perfect opportunity

KTTK....jealous! Sounds like a perfect last day. (Except that it's your last day. )

yes last day blues...but going out w/ a BANG!

I am dying to try the KTTK tour, I just wanna go into the utilidors, especially since reading kingdom keepers

Oh I love KK too...I bought the series for my son and then read them too...I need to read book 4...I'll start it closer to the trip for my pre Disney Disney read


not sure the ultilidors are the most exciting thing of the tour...but to just say "Hey I was down there" sounds cool...I had my chance back in '94/95 when I was still a CM for the stores that could have got me down there, but I'd have to go alone and I was to nervous too...

You will love love love the KTTK tour!! I took it awhile back and so want to do it again! It was probably the highlight of my trip!! I have really really enjoyed the tours I have done with Disney!!! What a great send off to a great trip!!!

thanks...I could see if would be something fun to do again...the only other tour we have done is the family one...I'd like to do that again too if I thought the kids would be game...

So Matt surprised me the other day w/ something really cool that actually almost made me cry (in a good way of course ) he set it up like this..."hey I have something for you to watch" [on the computer] I am thinking he found something cool online...

but he had put together a snipet of video set to a song from the 4 hrs + of video we took back In Nov. 2010 at WDW


WDW Our First Trip Home

I just love it I hope you do too...we have so much more video w/ some other really good bits too...we plan to edit it down into another video(s) to share


another link to share is from my Blog Julie's Mickey Memories and More. I recently updated my look and added another post showing more of the finished pages from the Spectrum Mom trip and a few other Disney surprises


JMM from this to that...


the last link I want to share is from my fellow Spectrum Mom Kathy (RN) she has her own AWESOME Blog that she share stories of life, Disney and parenting an Autistic Child, plus she is linked into several other really cool Disney inspired Blogs...if you are ever looking for some good reads/tips and fun check it out


Disney lovin Spectrum Mom


thanks,

Julie

Julie, the video is great! I loved it!!!

 

[MRYPPNS]

Matt did a great job!

I especially liked Rachel's dancing and singing on iasw......wonder where she gets that from

 

[DisMomAmy]

Awesome video!!! That was so sweet of Matt to put that together! There are so many great parts but I agree the part with Rachel singing is adorable!

And I love the new look of your blog.

sorry, been MIA with a work project and week long business trip, but back now baby!

Love day 4 and 5. Heck, you haven't even left yet and I am sad reading day 5. Funny how that works!

You will love KTTK. We did this 2 years ago. It was fabulous! We had a great guide (forget his name) and had a blast. I can't wait to do more tours. In fact, we did one at Disneyland last year on a girls only trip. I'd love to do one of the DIS ABD trips one year where they visit the imagineering/studios etc. Maybe one day!

I love the F&W map you mocked up. I need to really get on top of the whole F&W thing- i have been so busy at work, i haven't really stayed on top of it or selected the booths we want to hit. we are newbies to it!

Oh my, I LOVE that video, how cute is that? It has inspired me to take more video this trip so I can do a nice montage myself later on! it is so darn cute. what a great memory to have. I even have a youtube channel already set up for my videos of William to share with family.

 

[Native NYer]

Such a cute video!
And both blogs are great too. I'm inspired to start my own blog.

 

[Parla]

Aaah, love the video. How sweet of Matt to do that!

 

[Pixiedust530]

What a great surprise from Matt! The video turned out so cute...he did a wonderful job! I absolutely LOVE scrappy blogs and yours is adorable with the Disney connection. I now have it bookmarked and will be visiting regularly!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Ah, what a super great surprise from Matt!!!

I can't wait to hear about your KTTK tour! I have never seen a picture of the Utilidors, so that was so cool! I wonder who managed to snag a photo?

 

[Tinkermom76]

what a great video!!! I really have to learn to use my video camera

 

[mousescrapper]

Julie, the video is great! I loved it!!!

thanks Karen I love it too...I watch it a ton! need to check in on your PTR how are the Jan plans going are you able to "cash" in on free dining?

Matt did a great job!

thanks I agree!

I especially liked Rachel's dancing and singing on iasw......wonder where she gets that from

me too...the audio is equally cute too...and yes she's a ham like her Mom

Awesome video!!! That was so sweet of Matt to put that together! There are so many great parts but I agree the part with Rachel singing is adorable!

it was very sweet! looking forward to sharing some more of the other fun clips too!

And I love the new look of your blog.

thank you was inspired by kathy to change it up a bit, Matt helped me w/ the picture background!

sorry, been MIA with a work project and week long business trip, but back now baby!

no worries

Love day 4 and 5. Heck, you haven't even left yet and I am sad reading day 5. Funny how that works!

Yes I agree I'd love to do other tours too...this one will be a great fit for Matt and I, can't wait!

I love the F&W map you mocked up. I need to really get on top of the whole F&W thing- i have been so busy at work, i haven't really stayed on top of it or selected the booths we want to hit. we are newbies to it!

planning F&W is like a whole other trip in itself I want to make a up a cheat sheet of our top picks...we are newbies too and looking forward to some good eats and drinks

Oh my, I LOVE that video, how cute is that? It has inspired me to take more video this trip so I can do a nice montage myself later on! it is so darn cute. what a great memory to have. I even have a youtube channel already set up for my videos of William to share with family.

thank you, I want to make more too! it's such a great way to look back on the fun!

Such a cute video!
And both blogs are great too. I'm inspired to start my own blog.

Ah, what a super great surprise from Matt!!!

I will report back some but not all ...yes that shot sure looks staged...I don't think we can take photos or video

what a great video!!! I really have to learn to use my video camera

I did most of the video-taping...the editing that's all Matt

 

[mousescrapper]

So now that the touring plans are basically done (I have tweaked a few things here and there since posting the first cards) it sort of feels like I’ve hit that impasse of planning…but never fear there’s lots left to do to get ready and to have fun preparing…

Here are some thoughts:

* a revised TO-DO list

* more details about our Halloween Costumes

* packing lists

* final budget review

* Countdown calendar and family Disney nights

* Trip Shopping

* Souvie Lists

* Let’s order a special CAKE!

* and more


Something to tie you over w/:

I have been on youtube alot lately as I have been looking for video clips to finish up my 30 Day Disney challange on FB and came across this great video done by the Disney Blog...I am sure you all have seen it, but this is great fun!

A Model Day at the Magic Kingdom

and then Matt sent me this great video

Darth Vader goes to Disneyland


Hope you stay tuned! J~​

I love that MK video!! I was just looking at it the other day after Brookelizabeth posted a link to the follow up Epcot video. Have you seen that one yet?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKxgn8oHZQg&feature=related

The Darth Vader one is cute too!

 

[exwdwcm]

I love those tilt shift videos- they have one for most of the parks now I think.

[mommytothreeboys]

I know they are good!

so what family disney nights are you planning?

not completely sure yet...since it's just matt and I going we won't be doing a ton like we did for our Nov/ trip...for now I think we'll have 4...and a Halloween themed one...no details yet, a F&W one...that we have figured out and need to come up w/ 2 more...

have a 2 hr car drive waiting for us tomorrow as we head up to MI w/ friends so I'm sure Disney will come up once or twice

The video Matt made is fantastic! I enjoyed watching it!

thanks Missy

I'm way behind here! lol! Loved the video, it's so sweet. I always say that I'm going to do one of our trip but I forget every time! Maybe I'll do some from our last trip before we go on our next one.
I can't wait to see the Hallowe'en costumes!
