Holy Crow! I'm Sparkly! Oh, It's the Pixie Dust!, An Aug '09 Pre-Trippie

[disneyquilter]

Hey! Christine! I posted this over on Tammy's PTR also! I can't find anything online but I called and the very nice cm gave me this info!:

Park Hours! I called today and asked for them! Well they have some of them but not all and they were surprised about that! They only have Epcot and DHS so far the very nice cm told me to call the end of the week and maybe they would have MK and AK !

So here's what I have:

Epcot
8/24 = 9am - 9pm
8/25 = 8am - 9pm Morning EMH
8/26 = 9am - 9pm
8/27 = 9am - 9pm
8/28 = 9am - 12 midnightEvening EMH Woohoo we got a midnight!!!
8/29 = 9am - 9pm
8/30 = 9am - 9pm
8/31 = 9am - 9pm

She had nothing for September at all!

DHS

8/24 = 9am - 10pm evening EMH
8/25 = 9am - 8:30pm
8/26 = 8am - 7pm Morning EMH
8/27 = 9am - 8:30pm
8/28 = 9am - 7pm
8/29 = 9am - 7pm
8/30 = 9am - 7pm
8/31 = 9am - 10om Evening EMH

And again nothing at all yet for September

Waterparks are 10am - 6pm (Typhoon and Blizzard)
She did tell me she assumed that EMH's for MK would be on the 27,29,30 and Ak would be the other days she was going from what was posted for EPCOT,DHS . She was really confused as to why they only had hrs for the 2 parks and this must be true because I called prior to that and spoke to a male CM and he told me the same thing with only having Epcot and DHS!

So this helps a little! I have a Cheerleading meeting tonite so I wont be back on til late! I have to decide if I want to coach again this season! I'm not sure it's very involved!

YEA!!! Hours...well at least for the first half of my trip

I'm updating tonight with the DL photos (I know, I know--I'll believe it when I see it )

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

That's what I was thinking...no way can we wait on the second half to get posted. Everything will be booked up! We'll have to play it by ear I guess. Tpnight is my ADR night. I'm finalizing everything. Did you join the Epcot meal or no? That's an EMH night.

 

[lisalonglash]

They better get moving on those hours. I want to finish my ADR list!!

Oh no! I hope you get those hours asap!

OT: How do you get the link to this ptr to show up with a title instead of a link? I can't figure it out LOL

 

[Goofy22]

Ill be waiting check back tonite! I'm working on my Adr's also! I started in work while it was slow! I went and found AK hours and they actually have a EMH til 10pm and are open til 7pm I was shocked I thought for sure it would be 5pm so thats good! Also did you decide if you were joining us for the other GG? Just curious it wil be alot of fun!

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

I'm about done... Back to the drawing board!

 

[Goofy22]

I don't see any Disneyland pics!! I'm waiting Though I'm still working on my adrs since I now have all the EMH's! I think Im looking foward to AK open til 10pm never been there at night ! I think that will happen this trip!!

 

[Goofy22]

Happy Mother's Day!

[disneyquilter]

Ok Gang, here is my Disneyland update (YEA!!! & Finally!!)

In this little Side-Day TR, I will let the pictures speak for themselves for the most part. I will add captions thoug 

Not a whole lot to say about them except that we went for my MILs 51st birthday, on April 27, 2009 with DD’s, MIL, DH’s cousin, and her girls.

Now on with the show…

Here’s a shot of my girls in front of the Columbia. I love it when this boat sails around the Rivers of America.

Here’s a shot with my girls and my DH’s cousin’s DD’s in front of the Mark Twain.

Me and Bean (my youngest) in front of the bathroom in Adventureland.

A kind Cast Member came up and asked if he could take our picture, since we were shooting photos of each other. I said sure. So here I am with both DDs.

Ok, so oldest DD thought it was funny to sneak in the Women’s restroom sign. She said, “At Disney, it’s all in the details...” I have to say, I totally agree with her.

Sleeping Beauty’s Castle

Another shot of the castle DD took. I think I like this one better then the one I took

Queue line for Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride in Fantasyland.

Monstro from the Storybook ride in Fantasyland.

Posing in a Teacup in front of the Mad Hatter Hat Shop.

Oldest DD striking her pout-y model pose in the Teacup line. I love this kid.

Having a serious epiphany moment.

Bean just being Bean. She was telling me, “I’m in the teacup line, what would you like me to do?” So I just shot the pic.

Teacups, Full View (my DD LOVES Alice in Wonderland, that’s why she took so many pics)

Alice in Wonderland signage

Now, we didn’t just go on the Teacups, since that’s where a majority of these pics came from BUT this is all I have of Disneyland.

Next time we go, next Sunday, I’ll take Tomorrowland (or have DD do it)

Now, continued in next post…California Adventure.

 

[disneyquilter]

Disney’s California Adventure…

This is the signage for the new water show they are putting into DCA. It actually surrounds the construction portion of the show.

DD acting funny…

Another funny…

Tower of Terror from really far away…

Mission Tortilla Factory. Friendly Tip!!! We LOVE coming here because you get a free FRESH warm flour tortilla at the end of the tour. If it’s your birthday, and you’re wearing your birthday pin, you get a Free BAG of Tortillas. YUM-O!!!

Yes, another pout-y model pose.

“I’m drinking my soda, can you please stop for one sec!”

Hidden Mickey on the door of the Tortilla Factory

Now, outside, they were in the midst of a wine tasting (Food & Wine time at DCA), so I smapped a few pics. My MIL, by this time was having a fit because I was holding things up for photos. I said, “Thank goodness you’re not coming with me to WDW because I’m taking pictures of my food this time.” She just about died and said, “Yea, thank goodness.” God bless her, the woman knows about my obsession and just likes to joke about it.

Another pic of the wine booth…

Signage outside the booth. Now, they have many of these little booths and several events happening that day, I just didn’t take pics of them all.

We never go to the kiddie portion of DCA. But because we had little ones with us, we thought, what the heck…

Some of the cool stuff in Bug’s Land…

Another fun bug

Hollywood Tower of Terror from Bug’s Land

I’m trying to find the construction photos from the water show they are putting in. If I find them I will post them.

 

[disneyquilter]

[OneTreeHillAddict]

O M G pictures!!! And cool ones I've never seen before. SO weird that those teacups are topless. I so want to ride this Alice ride! Exactly how far away is it again from your front door? Your oldest DD looks just like your man and the youngest is a spitting image of you! I bet you hear that all the time don't ya?

Topless Teacups I LOVE that!!!!

*Now I am Composing Myself with the Topless Teacup Joke* I am so immature

Everyone tells us that-Oldest DD=Hubby, Youngest DD=Me...but my Oldest DD has my personality & my Youngest DD has my DH's personality. So weird huh?

 

[disneyaddicted]

Ty!! I hope you & your mom have a great time in January.

The family and I LOVE WDW, but there is nothing like Uncle Walt's Original Mouse House, either. If you ever get a chance to go, you definitlely have to be there I'm trying to upload pictures as we speak into Photobucket but it's taking forever. So bear with me, I'll get them posted soon enough.

Did you live in Riverside or Riverside Co.? We are about an hour away from there.

I would love nothing more than to visit DisneyLand, someday hopefully.
I lived in Riverside, right off of La Sierra, that was ions ago though. I rented a room from a guy who coached roller skating, I know! Roller skating?

I'm ready fro another Disney Movie question.

 

[Goofy22]

And funny that you call your youngest bean when I was lil my dad called me Beanie or Colleen the Bean! I still catch him sometimes calling me Bean or beanie! And I'm almost 37! LOL! Can you believe my hubby disconnected my computer to paint a wall and reconnected and the internet wont work I don't get it so now I have tofind the time to get the cable co out to fix his mess!!

OMGawsh-Rollerskating...oh the days...went to a roller rink not too long ago for my DD's friend's birthday party (it is like the only roller rink left in Orange County). It was a blast!! Brought me back to when I was younger dancing to Madonna on my rollerskates...

Another Disney Movie question comin'...next installment...

I started calling her Bean because she was a tooter when she was a toddler and calling her Fart just seemed rude & embarrassing So I spared her the utter torment and just started calling her BEAN.

That's a bummer about the computer, doesn't DH know he can't keep you away from the DIS for too long. I know I start to get withdrawals

I am so in for HDDMR on September 1 @ 9:30PM!!! Can we all sit together? Do I have to tell them I am apart of a GG? Details? I totally need details!!

OMGawsh we are going to have so much fun!!

 

[lisalonglash]

Great DLR pictures! One day, we'll take a long vacation and just drive down there

Your girls are so pretty - the pouty poses are funny! You all look like you're having a wonderful time - that's what it's all about!

Haha! That's not why my dad called me bean at all !Because I was a lil skinny runt like a bean! That's funny! I know as each day goes by I'm getting more P'OD! He refuses to admit he couldve done something wrong!!sometimes I hate men!!!! I'm not positive on the answer to HDDMR i'll definitely get back with you on that! Good thing my sis only lives about 13 blocks from me huh? lol! I can't wait i'm really getting excited now since ADR's are only 6 days away!!!
