Thursday, January 19th

After breakfast, we left Cindy's castle and headed for Haunted Mansion! On the way there, I got A LOT of "Happy Birthdays" from Cast Members. It's kind of weird, because usually they say "Happy Birthday, *your name*" and at first you're confused because somebody's calling your name lol!

No line!

As we were walking out of HM, the band started to play!

We didn't watch for too long before going to look in the Christmas shop

We walked around Swiss Family Robinson's Tree House

I'd want to live in their treehouse!

Next up was the Tiki Room, because we hadn't seen it since it was redone back to the more original version

Next up was POTC

No wait, of course.
There wasn't any smoke with Blackbeard's face on it! Very dissapointing

Next, we wanted to ride BTMRR... but...

So we decided to leave, we had really done a lot that morning (and it wasn't even 11 o'clock yet!)

On our way out

Security was EVERYWHERE, because Obama was coming today, remember?

On our way out, we also saw two guys just hanging out by the railing in front of the bag check. They were dressed as typical tourists, but they were just standing there, talking. Mom said they were security guards undercover.

We ended up being the only ones on the bus!

When we finally got back to POP all we wanted to do was relax...

Nice updates!! I have eaten at CRT a few times for my birthday, and I had a blast, too! I do agree with you that it is mainly a girl thing to do.

Thanks! Haha yeah if I was a little boy I definitely wouldn't have enjoyed that

We were the only ones on the bus back to the Pop Century, making it a nice, relaxing ride of me playing Temple Run (;

When we finally got back to the Pop, we went straight for our room

Only problem was, housekeeping was there. So we decided to go walk around the little lake and look at the year signs

Me and the year I was born

I like how it's about Toy Story, some years had some pretty lame ones

J's year

Joe's year

I'm not sure what I'm doing, I think I was looking at these ducks

FINALLY our room was ready! You have no idea how badly I wanted a nap, remember, I was pretty sick this whole trip

After a nice nap, we decided to go to Epcot! Yay! We had awesome luck with buses.

As we entered Epcot, two security guards sang happy birthday to me!

Once inside, we went straight for Soarin' FPs

For dinner I was feeling Chinese food- got to be the best fried rice ever

After dinner we went to go ride Soarin

It was awesome, because as we got the end of the line, where they put you off in row 1, 2, or 3, the CM putting you into the lines told me we could go in row 1 since it was my birthday! The guy and girl in front of us in line were cool, the guy told me happy birthday. My mom said he probably was a cast member and was so used to telling everyone happy birthday when he saw happy birthday pins, that's why he told it to me. It made sense, the two definitely looked like Disney CMs.

Afterwards we rode Living with the Land

We ended off the night by doing some shopping in Mouse Gears. I got a white scarf and my mom got the same one, but in blue. It has little mickey heads on it (you'll see pictures of us wearing the scarves in future pictures) but they're not very noticeable. I got a minnie mouse ipod cover, and new sunglasses since my old ones broke. These looked just like them, except they're pink not white!

A CM in Mouse Gears saw my birthday pin as my mom was jokingly telling me to buy this little girl poofy skirt, he asked how old I was and I told him 16. He told us his grand daughter just turned 14 and she wouldn't be caught dead wearing a little kid skirt like the one my mom was joking about. He was nice and we talked to him for a little while.

Even though Epcot was opened until midnight, we left at about 7:30- lol. Going in the winter vs going in the summer is so different. On this trip, at 7:30 it was pitch black outside, whereas in the summer it doesn't get dark until way later. Also, we're so used to be getting up early for school, that getting up early wasn't a big deal for us. During the summer it's the hardest thing in the world. So while we would usually stay until midnight, we just couldn't make it! Not after waking up so early in the morning and being on the move the whole day, not even with a little nap put in there!

So we left Epcot and called it a night!

Sounds like a great first day! Epcot was empty. I don't blame you for calling it an early night-- you guys got so much done in the one day.

It was an awesome, very filled, tiring day!

We woke up VERY early this day and got ready to make it to Animal Kingdom for rope drop!

We were at the very front of the crowd of people, right along side the rope.
Once the rope dropped, we made our way for Expedition Everest!

It was very fun and there was absolutely no wait! On our way off, we picked up some FPs for later

Aren't my nails perfect for animal kingdom??

Next we made our way for the Safari! There was nobody in sight on our way there

First row!

TONS of hippos

My favorite- the giraffes!

Elephants, another favorite!

The Lion was out!

And a rhino woohoo

After our safari, we started to make our way to ride Dinosaur when we ran into this lady! I spotted her first and my mom and I had a great time watching her and laughing at the surprised expressions on everyone's faces as they walked by and realized there was a woman!

SO COOL! It stinks my dad and brothers missed her, I've always wanted to see DiVine and I'm so glad we got to, it was really awesome!

Thanks for reading
Usually we do drive down, but since this was a shorter trip than normal, and it was just my mom and I, it was easier and less time consuming for us to fly! It's also waaay cheaper for two people to fly down versus five lol

After our encounter with DiVine, we continued on our way to Dinoland. I was hungry, so we got some Chip And Dale trail mix

And then rode Dinosaur!

I love getting the cards to see how long the line is lol

I'll admit, the first time I ever rode Dinosaur I was pretty scared and a little concerned that we weren't going to make it out in time xD But now it's not that bad

Next up was the Primeval Whirl

Then, we decided it was time for lunch... so Flame Tree BBQ it is!
FTBBQ is probably my favorite counter service in all of WDW and it's got two of my favorite meals. I can never decide which one to pick...
This time, I went with the ribs
And my mom got the chicken salad- my other favorite
So we shared!

Our final mission of the day, was to see Finding Nemo the Musical! We've never seen it before, so we just HAD to this trip

It was cute, but if we never see it again, I won't be sad lol. Plus, I was so tired I almost fell asleep during it hehe

Since I has almost taken a nap during the middle of the show, we decided it was time to go back to the hotel

Of course the room hadn't been cleaned by the time we got back, since we always seem to come back too early- oops! So we just decided to go a day without 'mouse keeping' and took a LONG nap because we had a late dinner at one of my favorite table services...

Love the Nails!!!
Is the animal print the one that you stick on the nail and then file off the end?
If so they always fail for me

 

[grandfloluver]

i love love love your nails! and i am the same way with coming back to the hotel too early. those afternoon breaks seem to always energize me, though. much needed and helpful, IMO. I've never seen the Nemo show either, so i have no clue if it's for me or not

Thanks Yep, you stick it on your finger, rub it down, and then file away the extra part- my mom did it for me lol

Thanks Hannah! I agree! Usually I don't take naps though, it was probably because I was so sick the entire trip, but they helped so much!

After resting for a few hours, it was time to make our way to Epcot because we had dinner reservations at one of my all time favorite places...!

It was pretty dark by the time we got there, but our reservations weren't for a while. So we went to get some Test Track FPs

Since we were near the countries, we decided to start in Mexico and make our way around, so that by the time we got to Canada it'd be time for dinner!

We looked around the shops in China

And then made our way to Italy, where my mom went to get a glass of wine and I finished off the trail mix from earlier

Then we walked around Morocco

We went into the gift shop in America, but didn't spend too much time there

And then France, where I tried on some berets

Also in France we went in the perfume shop, it smelled so good! And we people watched for a bit.

We stopped in England for a bathroom break and then finally we were in Canada for Le Cellier!

We were seated after waiting for about ten minutes.
First up, bread
(it's very dim in the restaurant so the pictures didn't turn out the best whoops)

I had the New York strip steak I believe

SO GOOD

Mom had the Le Cellier Mushroom Filet Mignon

I tried some of hers- without the mushrooms- and it was reallllllly good

Once we were finished, we decided to just go back to the hotel since we were both exhausted. So we didn't end up using the Test Track fast passes, now that I think about it we didn't even ride anything! Oh well, I enjoyed just going through the countries, it was fun
