[2xcited2sleep]

I'm so glad you started your TR! Whew- that sounds like a whirlwind of activity before your vacation! But as you said, all good stuff!

I know some of you may think I'm crazy but I'm kind of liking the idea of driving to WDW. I know, nuts! But it just seems like a fun adventure - watching movies, anticipation building, getting closer etc. I'm sure I'd change my mind if I ever did it.

Meg's face when she sees the sign is awesome! Pure joy. Disney joy. Love it!!!

Hurrah for getting the room you wanted - isn't that a great feeling?!

On your way to MK-- can't wait to hear what happens next!

 

[stacikristine]

YAY! I'm so glad you started your TR!

I can't believe you made it without passing out before the trip! You were SOO busy! But I'm so glad the women's retreat went so well.

Oh my goodness--Megan's expression when she saw the sign is just priceless. Probably one of the cutest Disney excitement pictures I've ever seen!

I can't wait to hear all about your first day in the park!!!

 

[BippityBoo]

Yay! Excited about your TR. I had just subscribed right at the end of your PTR. I have lots of reading to do to catch up!

Megan is soo cute! She looks about my daughter's age. I am so excited to see if you guys like going to MK right after check in. Our plans for our January trip are to have the front desk hold our bags and off to MK!! We have never done it this way before!

Looking forward to your next post

Our drive isn't too bad....luckily Megan travels well. BUT I think she is getting nearer the age when she will no longer put up with it. She keeps begging Tom to let us go on an airplane next time........we shall see!!!

The room location was PERFECT!!!! More on our room later....

I think I must have been on some fierce adrenaline high.....I just don't know what else could have kept me going!!!!

I think that picture is priceless too!!!! SO SWEET!!!! I just want to KISS it!

Thanks for coming along for the ride!!! I hope you enjoy it!!! We have so many wonderful things to share with all of you!!! I highly recommend heading to MK.....there is just nothing greater!!!

 

[MegansMom]

When I left off, we were on our much adored Disney Chariot heading due straight to the MAGIC KINGDOM!!! We were all so excited...it almost felt surreal to have been in the car driving one minute, and on a bus to MK the next. What a way to start a week?!??!?!?! Don't we all wish that all Mondays could be like this!!?!?!?!?! We were excited just to be back, but we really didn't have an agenda/plan about anything. Tonight was going to be our let's take it in stride night. We would go where we wanted, eat what we wanted, and just be happy with whatever we got to do.

As we unloaded and strolled up to the MK for the first time this trip, and the first time EVER WITHOUT A STROLLER banana, we quickly looked at the fall decor and then headed in to get our first glimpses of Main Street!

Okay, this is definitely NOT the best picture I took---but literally the one I took as I was walking onto Main Street. Tom and I quickly spotted a VIP as we were walking past the Emporium, and it only took one look at each other to know that we wanted to stop for our VIP Princess Megan. Who was standing there ready to greet us???????????????????

SNOW WHITE OF COURSE!!!!!! It was almost too good to be true!!! For those of you who don't know, Snow White is by far Megan's FAVORITE princess!!!!! To say that our party and celebrating got started off on the right foot was a BIG understatement!!!! She was SO excited that literally the first thing we got to do at WDW this year was see Snow! They had a lovely visit too----chatted it up for quite some time about her birthday, about how Snow White was her favorite, why she was her favorite, and about the dwarves. It was SO cute!!!! I do have some video, but it was taped in HD, so I need to figure out a way to transfer it so you all can view it.....will work on that! Stay tuned for that later!

After our visit with Snow, we strolled down the greatest street in the world---all the way back to Fantasyland!!!

My lovely FP MASTER hubby, headed straight over to Winnie the Pooh to obtain a FP for later in the afternoon. Why WP you ask???? Well, as many of you know, WP usually gives you out a bonus FP to Philharmagic--which it did--so we were already set with two FPs right away!

It was at this point that Megan pointed out something that we were all feeling.......we were STARVING!!!!!! We had snacked a little on the way down, but had not eaten a full meal since the hotel that morning. Since we were in FL, and since Tom LOVES the cheesecakes at Pinocchio's, we headed in there for our first taste of WDW food. We each had a pizza (Tom the meat, me the veggie, Megs the cheese), salad, and the strawberry cheesecake for dessert for Tom and me and the chocolate chip cookie for Miss Megs. It was a very filling lunch/dinner for us---I think it was nearing 2pm by this point. Pizza is never that great at WDW, but we were so hungry that it all tasted so good!

Once we were fed and full, we asked Miss Megan the question I had been waiting so long to ask.....WHAT ARE WE GOING TO RIDE FIRST MY DEAR??????





My daughter did not disappoint....for Tom and I really already knew what she was going to say............................."IT'S A SMALL WORLD MOMMY!!!" And of course, away we went on the happiest cruise in the world! We waited between 5-10 mins, and then boarded our grand ship and set off! It is always so familiar and wonderful all at the same time. Megan sang her little heart out as we traveled from continent to continent! She also began a new tradition----she began to imitate all the different dances the dolls do from all around the world. Tom and I would join in the dancing too when asked!!! We just enjoy ourselves so much on that ride!!!!

As we left IASW, Tom realized that he could get another FP, so he grabbed one for Peter Pan---with a return time of 7pm!!!!

We then headed to some other favorites around Fantasyland that had very little waits.......starting with SNOW WHITE!!!

(Megan said she wished she could blow up this picture and cover her bedroom wall with it!!!! ME TOO!!)

She and Tom took the front of the vehicle, but she assured me that she could "hold my hand in case I got scared!" We enjoyed our "scary adventure" and waved happily as always to Dopey at the ride's end! Megan could get stuck in that ride and be VERY happy! Loves being with her "Snow!"

Since we were close, we went ahead and used our FP for Winnie the Pooh---again, Tom and Megs took the front, which allows me the opportunity to watch the joy in her eyes and the smiles on her face as we go through those rides!!! I think her new favorite part of the ride is the bouncing with Tigger----my how we all giggled this year---and my favorite is always the "Rain, rain, rain came down, down, down" scene----so we all left that ride just so happy!

My happiness only intensified when we headed towards the carousel and realized that there was only a 10 minute wait for DUMBO!!! So you know we were in that queue as fast as possible! We moved through the line very quickly---so quickly I didn't even get a good chance to take a good photo, but did manage to snap this smiling face before we boarded!!!

And before we knew it, my pilot had us flying high above Fantasyland---enjoying all the royal sights!!!

She looks like an experienced pilot, right??!!!??!?!?

After our smooth and safe landing, we swapped our elephant in for a horse of course....and walked right onto the carousel!!!

Megan loves the music they play on the carousel so much that she hummed along with the songs that she recognized---it was so sweet!

After our ride on the carousel, we decided that we needed some A/C!!! (It was a hot one that day!) So we used our FP for Philharmagic and headed into "Donald's Show" as Megs lovingly calls it!

Sorry about the blur---we were being rushed into the waiting area, so I didn't get a good chance to take the picture, but Megs wanted me to put this on here because she loves that picture SO MUCH!!! She has her picture taken by it every year!!!! So that one is for Megs!

Here she is waiting SO EXCITEDLY to get into the theater....she LOVES this show SO MUCH, and time has not diminished that love at all!!! Still makes her so happy!!!

And that my dear TR readers is where I am going to stop for tonight.......

Of course there is much more on the horizon....we leave FL, but where do we head next???? Liberty Square? Frontierland? Will Miss Megs be brave enough for new rides....like HAUNTED MANSION????? Will we as a family see anything new this year????? Will we make a visit to those "dilapidated" old Country Bears???? Just what does Megan get all over her face????? What will we think about our arrival to our "home" at POFQ?????

All those answers and MUCH MUCH MORE in the next update!!! STAY TUNED!!!

Looks like your Trip was off to a great start.

Sounds like Megan was having a blast running the show, picking where to go for her Princess Birthday Celebration

 

[Lady Lallie]

What a wonderful update! Reading about your adventures just puts a huge smile on my face.

It just seems perfect that the first character you run into is Snow White.

 

[moparop]

What an awesome first afternoon! There's nothing like soaking up the atmosphere of Fantasyland on your first day!

 

[MegansMom]

She had such a blast....let me tell you, she REALLY gets into the whole birthday celebrating thing!!!! More to come on that soon!

What a wonderful update! Reading about your adventures just puts a huge smile on my face.

Awww....you are so sweet honey!!! Reading about them all over again, makes me remember just how wonderful our trip was!

We literally could not believe that we walked in, and she was just standing there!!! TOO perfect! Megan was THRILLED!!!

What an awesome first afternoon! There's nothing like soaking up the atmosphere of Fantasyland on your first day!

We had to get our FL fix right away!!! The rest of the afternoon is just as good too!!! Just wait!!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

How wonderfully perfect that you saw Snow White as soon as you arrived at the Magic Kingdom! I bet that just set the tone for the whole vacation!

We haven't eaten at Pinocchio's since 2004 -- I always think about it, but we never seem to be in the right spot at the right time. Did you sit where you could see the IASW boats?

Love how into IASW Megs gets! Too cute! You were definitely rockin' and rollin' getting Fantasyland rides done! I am always so impressed by how many rides you manage to do in a day!

I hope Megan decided to ride Haunted Mansion this year!

 

[MegansMom]

It was such a great start to our trip!

We usually sit over on the other side---near the exit to the restroom---but also where you can see out towards Dumbo. Don't ask me why, but that is where we usually end up!

Things moved so quickly that day, and my lovely FP master kept us rolling from one attraction to the next!

Ooooohhhhhhh HAUNTED MANSION.......will she ride it or not.......THAT IS THE BIG QUESTION INDEED!!!!!!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

What a magical start to your vacation. Snow White was just waiting for you! Meg just looks so happy in all the photos. It makes me smile just to see it!

IASW... I could do without that but if it is her favorite!

I'm also a big fan of the Snow White ride. Makes me sad to think it may not survive the Fantasyland refurb. My only consolation is that maybe some cool stuff will go on Mouse Surplus!

10 min wait for Dumbo?! Wow!!

Can't wait to see what happens next!

 

[If U Had Wings]

Sounds like your trip is off to a wonderful start! Can't wait to hear more.

 

[redsox721]

Wonderful start to your trip. Megan has gotten so big. I love the picture of her in the car when she saw the sign. Her smile is so wonderful in every picture. I can feel her excitement coming through. Can't wait to hear about the rest of the trip.

 

[stacikristine]

Oh my goodness! What a fantastic start to your first day at Walt Disney World!! I just love the joy on Megan's face! How special that Megan was able to see Snow White first thing, and that you were able to ride so much in Fantasy Land!

 

[lmillercrew]

That's it??? Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed every minute of it, but I wanted MORE!! (jk)
You guys are off to a great start! Great weather too.

It's like Mickey knew when we were coming in and set it all up!! Seeing SW right away just started everything off right! She was just so happy throughout the whole trip....so much fun!

I think you might just change your tone about IASW if you rode it with Megs....she can make ANYONE enjoy it!!!!

Shhhh.....we aren't talking about the possibility of Snow White closing....hopefully if we don't talk about it, it won't happen!

We were so excited about the Dumbo NO WAIT....I couldn't really believe it!

So much fun to come....stay tuned!

Sounds like your trip is off to a wonderful start! Can't wait to hear more.

More coming soon!!! We have so much fun to share with you all!

Wonderful start to your trip. Megan has gotten so big. I love the picture of her in the car when she saw the sign. Her smile is so wonderful in every picture. I can feel her excitement coming through. Can't wait to hear about the rest of the trip.

She has gotten so tall this year! She has lost any trace of babyness and is completely a little girl now.....makes Mommy so sad sometimes!!!! Her smile is the best motivation to continue to do whatever she wanted!!!! How can you say "No" to that face?!?!?!?!

Oh my goodness! What a fantastic start to your first day at Walt Disney World!! I just love the joy on Megan's face! How special that Megan was able to see Snow White first thing, and that you were able to ride so much in Fantasy Land!

We weren't sure how much we could get done coming in during the afternoon, but we flew through those rides....I bet we did all of that within an hour to an hour and a half! FUN TIMES!!!! Everyone needs a FP Master like my hubby too!!!! I am willing to loan him out if anyone wants to pay for us to go too!!!!

That's it??? Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed every minute of it, but I wanted MORE!! (jk)
You guys are off to a great start! Great weather too.

Don't worry my dear....more will be coming soon!!!! I have to pace myself my dear!! LOVE the enthusiasm though!!!

 

[MegansMom]

So when we last left off on our magical adventures, we had just gorged ourselves on the magic and wonder of Fantasyland! We knew we would need to be moving on to other parts of the park, but also knew we would be heading back there also later that night to use our Peter Pan FP!!!

SO.........where do you think we headed?????? Well, since we had just walked out of Philharmagic, we decided to take a left and head towards Liberty Square!

AND the very first thing that we came walking up to was of course the magnificent HAUNTED MANSION!!!! Now, for those of you who don't know, I adore this ride, but my daughter however does not! On our first trip in September 2006, she was too young to understand where we were going when we went to ride HM, and quickly fell asleep due to the dark confines of the ride. On our Nov 2007 and June 2008 trips however, she was not interested in going ANYWHERE near it!!! So, we weren't sure what she would decide this trip. We had talked about it a great deal prior to going, but you never know how they are going to behave once you get there, you know???? When we came up to the line, my hopes were going up because I noticed there was no wait---we could just walk on. So, we quickly reminded her that she would be okay, that Mommy and Daddy would be with her, and she said..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
























YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





We were so excited, and we quickly got in the line and made a beeline to the door before she could change her mind. To help alleviate any nerves, Tom held her for the beginning rooms, and I held her hand. She actually thought the stretching room was quite funny----note: she didn't ever notice or see the hanging from the ceiling, so give her some credit! Then we quickly boarded our doom buggy, and away we went. We pointed as much as we could out to her, and she revelled in every detail and moment of the ride---she LOVED the appearing footsteps on the stairwells and wanted to go down and join in on their "party!" Before we knew it, we were in the cemetary and she was singing right along to the "Grim Grinning Ghosts!" (We have the music for the ride at home!) She giggled so loudly as we passed through the corridor where the ghosts hop aboard and hitchhike their way out--I wish I could have snapped a picture for you---it was too cute!!! And before I knew it, our "first" ride through the HM was over.....and a little pang of doubt sprang into my head. I began worrying that maybe she was feigning joy and interest to subdue her nerves, maybe she really was scared, and wouldn't want to ride it again. SO I thought I would test her out as we left the ride, and asked her, "So, do you want to ride that again later?" And with the biggest grin on her face and joy in her eyes, she said, "YES!!! I LOVE THAT RIDE!" And then I knew.......she really did like it! She would never want to go again on something that she didn't like---even if she pretended she did! SO, Tom and I were very excited to see that our fascination with the HM had now been passed on to our girlie too!!!! (Let me just tell you, there is more of the HM story to come---you WON'T believe it!!! BUT you will have to stay tuned later to find out what it is!)

So we then started back out into Liberty Square---hoping to ride the Riverboat, but alas, it was still closed for rehab. We wanted to do the Hall of Presidents but a show had just started so we decided to hit it on our way back to PP. At that point, Megan realized that she could see BTMRR and SM, and so with one sweet look at her Daddy, we quickly decided to head our way over to the wild Frontier!

When we got there, Tom surveyed the FP and line wait situation, and since BTMRR had no wait, he opted to get a FP for Splash, and we walked on to BTMRR!!! BOY DO WE LOVE THIS ROLLERCOASTER!!!

Megan and Daddy getting ready to take off on her "FAVORITE" ride!

I love to sit in front of them, and then I get to hear her sweet giggle and squeals all the way through!!! She loves riding this one with Daddy so that he can "hold her tight" so she won't "fall out!"

After our crazy trip through the mountain, we decided we needed an A/C break, so we headed in to Country Bear Jamboree.

This is not one of our favorites, but Megan sure did giggle quite a bit through it this year---she liked clapping along too! The A/C sure did feel good though!!!

We then headed through the walkway into Adventureland, and Megan and I found some carpets to fly---we walked right on!

My pilot

You can see from the picture that it was getting HOT and HUMID very quickly!!!! The humidity was insane!!! You merely stepped outside, and your clothes stock to you like a magnet. SO, Tom felt like it was a good time to find a lovely WDW bench and have a cold treat! We got two Mickey bars, two frozen lemonades, and a bag of Cheetos for my Carbs Boy! While Megs and I started into our snacks, he hopped over and grabbed a FP for Jungle Cruise too!

And here are some wonderful before and afters of our snack to share with you! Megan and I of course opted for our favorite---the Mickey Mouse Ice Cream bar---even though I knew the humidity would melt it in a heartbeat! BOY did that first one taste good!!!!

Megan--BEFORE

Megan--AFTER

It was hard to capture how truly messy she was, but there was my attempt...in the sprinkling rain. The funniest thing about this to us is that Megan HATES to be messy---has always been like this since she was a baby, but every year at Mickey's House, she becomes a chocolate mess after eating her ice cream, and it never bothers her!!! She just giggles right through it!! Tom and I love that! We can see her let down her over-sensitive guard long enough to enjoy her sweet treat in all its' ooey-gooey greatness!!! And again, THIS is why we come back every year!!! Those five-ten minutes are some of the best we ever have....to see our sweetie be able to be a little more like a "normal" kid! It is heaven on earth to us!

After we were finished, the sprinkling rain looked like it was going to turn more into pouring rain, so we headed for some shelter and "some rum" at another one of my all-time favorites.....POTC!!! It had been a long time since we got to "Yo Ho" since it was closed during our entire June 2008 trip, so the three of us could not wait to board our boat! And luckily, we were able to walk right on! Megan had so much fun---singing the song all the way through! We really didn't want to get off, but we knew we could go to Splash to use our FP, so we were excited to go too!

For those of you that don't know, Splash I think has really become my favorite ride---it has a little bit of everything in it for me: cute characters, storyline, good music, thrill of the drops, etc. I really have begun to love it SO much!!! With FP in hand, we quickly worked our way through the line to our awaiting log! Again, Megan and I sang our way through this ride---probably a bit too loudly for the family sitting in front of the three of us, but we didn't care! We love it SO much! We were getting so excited about going down the big hill, and then we STOPPED, right at the bottom!!! FOR THE LONGEST TIME!!!! But hey, we got to sit there and really listen to all the audio---especially the birds! I think Megan actually liked being able to hear everything they have to say.......several times......over and over again........BUT, we of course eventually got going again!!! And the three of us squealed and giggled right into that briar patch!!! ZIP A DEE DO DAH!!!!!

After our big SPLASH was over, we headed back to Adventureland to use our Jungle Cruise FP. By the time we made it over there, it had gotten dark, and I got REALLY excited!!! Why???? Because I have NEVER ridden JC at night, and I had heard how much different it was at night---YOU ALL WERE RIGHT!!!! Now, it didn't make the jokes any less corny, but I LOVE going through there at night with the mood lights on---it made it much more enjoyable indeed!!!! IT WAS AWESOME!

Since it was getting so late, we knew we needed to finish up the rides we wanted to get in that day, so we headed back to Liberty Square and watched the new version of the HoP! I have always loved this attraction---I am just so fascinated by the complex audio-animatronics. Megan was so cute because she wanted to know so much more about all the presidents........we did the best we could! She clapped each time a president was introduced too....especially for the ones that she "knew!" We were just so excited that she really listened and paid attention during the show. It was great!

After that, we headed up to PP to use our FP. We boarded our flying pirate ship and took off to Neverland! Such joy is found in this little attraction! We love finding all the Tinkerbells and we now have a new family tradition---Megan loves the part of the movie where that music plays everytime the crocodile is near, so we now sing that "Da Da Dum Dum Dum" song everytime we spy that wily old crock! (Megan even does this little hip dance to it---too cute!)

When our ship returned us home, we decided that we needed to call it a night! We didn't want to wait until the end of the fireworks to leave, so while the parade and the fireworks were going on, we walked out---but we had to of course walk all the way around through FL and TL and down the crowded Main Street to get out. We knew there would be plenty more opportunities to see both of those shows later! We got to the bus stop and waited about 10 mins. for a POFQ bus to arrive. It filled up pretty quickly with those of us who were waiting---Tom and Megs did find one seat to share, and I stood. I was ever so much more thankful that I no longer needed to stand with a stroller in hand too!!! When we got to POFQ, we hopped off at the bus stop and went just around the corner to where our car was parked, and grabbed our luggage. Remember--we had checked in, but our room was not ready, so we were going to be heading to it for the first time. Our room was in building four which was right there, and after a quick stroll through the one courtyard that is near the parking lot and through to the next side of the building, we only had to make a right and we were just a few doors down. Our location was SUPERB!!!! We were in Room 4132! As we strolled down the walkway to our door, I realized that we looked out onto the most beautiful courtyard with this lovely little cobblestone pathway going down it. And then it happened, the most wonderful little Disney Moment that you can have as you are experiencing a new resort. We were looking out over this beautiful courtyard, and taking in all the beauty, and then to be even more perfect, a horse and carriage began coming down that lovely little cobblestone path, and the clip-clop of those horses hooves just made it all seem SO PERFECT AND WONDERFUL!!! I know I was standing there with my mouth wide open in a perfect state of awe... We then went into our beautiful room.........

Look what Megan found!

We wheeled in all the luggage, and I quickly started my beloved unpacking process. Tom decided he was hungry, so he said he was going to go down to the Food Court to find some snacks for us. He was so happy to find out how close we were to the food court as well---he said it was like only 10 steps to it, I think that is a little bit of an understatement, but it was SERIOUSLY close!!! SCORE!!! He got his beloved refillable mug, and purchased a pizza to bring back to the room. While he was doing this, Megan and I showered and pj'ed up, and I continued to unpack. It was such a great ending to a great first day---we lounged around, ate pizza, watched some of our favorite Disney Resort channels, and unpacked into our home away from home! It didn't take any of us long to fall asleep that night!!! END OF DAY ONE AT WDW!!!!

Favorite Moments of that day (in no particular order):
--when Megan pointed out all of the different dolls at IASW and did all the different dances
--Megan, aka "MY DRIVER," on all the flying rides! She was too cute!!! (Would always ask me where I wanted to go!)
--Her face when she saw the WDW sign
--Watching her face and listening to her squeals on BTMRR
--Megan clapping for the presidents at HofP
--The ice cream eating before and afters!
--Her endless "Thank You Mommy and Daddy" for taking her back to Mickey's House! We heard it all day long!!!!

UP NEXT: Day two at ANIMAL KINGDOM!!!! Stay tuned!

 

[stacikristine]

Aw! What a great update! I had a huge smile on my face the whole time just looking at your little girl's smile! It's so exciting that your family was able to go "just the three of you" again, and that Megan got into all of the rides like she did! Woo-Hoo for her loving HM, and the ice cream pics were so cute! I just loved the whole update! And I really want to visit POR sometime now...

 

[If U Had Wings]

Great update. I'm so glad that you had such a wonderful first day and that you loved POFQ. Can't wait to hear about AK!
