[dawnbu40]

I'm super late but I am enjoying your TR very much! Can't wait for the next installments

Hi! Thanks for joining us! Glad you're enjoing it and I think Caitlin will have an update tomorrow

 

[dawnbu40]

That's great that you got to see Fantasmic! after all - AND with VIP seats!!
We LOVE that show and always try for the Fantasmic! Dining Pkg since we don't want to wait on the lines.

Where is the VIP section anyway? Is it over by the Dining Pkg section?

We did get to see Fantasmic but from the Dining Package area. They could only offer us VIP seats for the 2nd show and we had plans at the MK so we had to pass those up. The Dining Pkg seats are great though!

Thanks for the tip of eating at the bar for 50's. Not sure we will need it but nice to know the option is there. We love our onion rings and I really enjoyed eating there back in 08.

You're welcome It was a tip I had read on the Dis sometime and it came in handy for us

I have followed your trip reports before and I just found this recently. I am really enjoying it. You always seem to be having a great time. It is a nice bonus to get to read about Caitlin's new boyfriend. I am glad you all like each other enough to go to Disney together. I can't wait to hear about that trip as well.

 

[PrincessSass]

I'm loving your TR!!

I'm also from Metro Detroit so seeing my hometown (Greenfield Village,Comerica etc) is awesome!!! Did you guys see both Mickey's at the ballpark?? There are 2 now...I of course had to take pics of the kids with both

Can't wait for the next update!!!

Hi! We're glad you found our latest TR

Thank you! We always have a lot of fun together and even more so at Disney

Glad you're enjoying hearing about the new bf. He's a really good guy and will be a fun addition to our vacation

Hi Neighbor! Glad you found us!

We only saw the Mickey that is near the food court area. Where is the other one?

So out of curiosity, where are the VIP seats for Fantasmic?
I don't think I've ever seen another section roped off other than the Dining Pkg Section.

I have no idea but VIP sounds good anyway

I've got a lot of catching up to do!

I would totally decide to visit another park, great idea!

I saw Mulch, Sweat, and Shears for the first time this past trip, and I LOVED them. Like I said before, I usually don't stop to listen to the concerts, but I listened to their whole set this time! They were great! And yes I do think those lights at DHS are new this year. I don't remember ever seeing them before.

Wow, 20 minutes at TSM!? That's not something you see every day. Yay for EMH! Gotta love 'em.

I still have Candyland and it's still one of my favorite games. The Disney version is so cute too! And I used to have a Viewfinder but I'm not sure where it went.

Accuracy should definitely count for something. I always say that when my brother beats me.

I love the Wheezy, pink princess and Cheshire cat pins! Ahh I REALLY need to get into pin trading!!

I love your sandals from Little Miss Matched. I always get incredibly overwhelmed in that store so I generally avoid it. But those are so cute!

LOVE the new Dooney, great choice!

That's so weird about the ticket mix-up, sorry you had to cancel your ADR. But at least you got some yummy pretzels and your penguin pin!

I'm glad you guys had such a good experience at Raglan Road. I really want to go there when I'm 21 too!

SSR is SO pretty! And I love Caitlin's artsy photo.

Yayy for Fantasmic finally working out in your favor! And for the showtime you desired! That was so nice of them to give you the VIP seats!

And yay for Caitlin's ticket situation working out after all that. You guys deserved those slushies! Where did you get them, by the way? They look fantastic.

Most people I know are bored by One Man's Dream, but I love it! And I love the part before the movie with all the future ideas for the Disney parks.

Wow! You guys met a TON of characters! I'll have to keep that time in mind for my next trip.

I don't think you look ridiculous! That's not possible! You're in Disney and reliving your high school years, and having FUN! I think it's great that you got up there with them. What a blast!

American Idol is one of Stacy's DHS must-do's too.

That's great that you can order from the full menu at the bar. Those onion rings look amazing! Yum.

I love those light-up ears! I kinda want them! I've been looking for new ears and those would definitely be something I don't already have.

Aww Fantasmic food! Looks delish! Good thing you guys had a light dinner.

I love the Finale of Fantasmic! I like spotting all my favorites, like Ariel and Prince Eric.

Can't wait to hear about your dis-meet!

He is over near the gates that are closest to Cheli's Chili (I think it's Adams St but not 100% sure).
He's really cool looking!!!

So glad you're all caught up

Glad you enjoyed Mulch,Sweat and Shears. They are a lot of fun and I had a blast being in their show

We love how you can almost walk on TSM at pm EMH.

Caitlin always enjoys her pin trading and I've already ordered a lot of pins for her and Josh to trade on our trip. She's hoping to get him hooked too

Thanks I love my new Dooney. Caitlin might be hooked on pins but I'm hooked on those purses. Her hobby is a lot cheaper

SSR really is a pretty resort. Thank you

If you can stop by the Animation Bldg around 530 there are usually a ton of characters and not too many people. Plus its nice and cool inside

You're right the finale of Fantasmic is the best!

 

[dawnbu40]

Thanks for the tip! We'll have to look for hime next time we're down there!

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

Ah we are down to 25 days!!! Woot Tons of excitement going around here! I recently made my dad, Josh and I t shirts to wear in Disney and they turned out great! I have also been renting Disney DVDs from our library and so far this week we have watched Finding Nemo and I think we will be watching Hercules tonight

Now back to our trip report!

We left off heading to the Magic Kingdom for our DIS meet! We were going to be meeting up again with Disbugmommy and Disbugdaddy for a Space Mountain ride!

When we got there it was around the time for Wishes and our DIS friends were stuck in the hub area so we headed over to Adventureland.

I was hoping to get a ride on the Jungle Cruise at night Unfortunately the line was pretty long and shortly after we got in it we received a text saying they had gotten out of the hub. We decided to meet them at the Haunted Mansion so I could check out the new queue at night

Once we got there we stood and talked for a bit and also took a picture of the adorable Bug

It was her birthday and she had gone to Bibbity Bobbity Boutique!


We all got in line and I took pictures as we pretty quickly went through the queue.

Unfortunately once inside I couldn't figure out how to turn off my Mickey ears Thankfully Bug's Grandpa pulled out his cell phone for some light and after a while of trying to find how to turn it off we succeeded It took most of the time in the stretching room though

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

Once again I loved my ride through the Haunted Mansion

and after we parted ways with Bug and her grandparents. Our DIS meet wasn't over yet though! DISbugdaddy and mommy headed with us over to Space Mountain! When we got there the line was pretty long but my mom forgot to mention that with the ticket fiasco we got free any ride fast passes for Magic Kingdom (why MK and not DHS we have no idea!)

So using our fast passes we headed in and after about 30 minutes we were speeding through space! Such a fun ride and I can't wait to take Josh on it at the end of this month!

After our ride our DIS friends were hungry so we headed to Casey's! Unfortunately we never ate there on this trip and I am very sad it will be closed on our next one

We had a great view so we took pictures while chatting.

After they were done eating we decided to hit up the Jungle Cruise but it was closed My parents were fading fast after a long day so we parted ways but not before we took a picture so we had proof of our meet

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

**CAUTION: PICTURE HEAVY AFTER THIS POINT**


On our way out I decided that since MK was open until 2 am and I wasn't tired that I was going to stay and put the extra time to good use


I said goodbye to my parents and headed to my first stop at the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse! I had never been up here before so it was very cool seeing everything for the first time!

After I was done climbing the Treehouse I headed to Pirates!

The line was so short!

See how empty the ride is!!!

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

So happy with how that turned out!

This is my favorite part of the ride! Don't be a cheeeckeeen George!

We wants the redhead! I go around my house saying this every once in a while since my dog is a redhead I know I am a major nerd!

By far my favorite part of the ride!!

Who doesn't love a little Johnny Depp?! These pictures are getting me excited for our Pirates of the Caribbean party the night before we go to Disney!

Then it was time to head into the Wild Wild West and go on my favorite Splash Mountain!!

The line was about ten minutes!

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

Right before the drop shot

Next door was Big Thunder so of course I had to hit that up!

I love how different all of the rides are at night! I am pretty sure I went on this one twice!

Then I decided since I had already been to all of the other lands it was time for Fantasyland!

My first ride was Peter Pan which was a walk on!

Then it was time for Snow White's Scary Adventure!

It was getting close to 2 so I had to choose my last ride of the night... Hm I am in Fantasyland.. I want to do something that is tons of fun... I don't feel like another ride..

Philharmagic it is!!!

I could have gone on another ride before this since it ended up being about a 15 minute wait for the next show but oh well. I loved it and after I was done it was time to start heading out.

On my way out I saw tons of characters around the Castle but it was all of the fab five which I have seen before and I looked like a hot mess after riding Splash Instead I took my time going through the Castle and taking pics of the murals.

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

I love this pic of the Castle!

When I reached the start of Main Street the Kiss Goodnight started!

The Castle changed colors and a voice came over the speakers talking about how this is the place where dreams come true and we hope your dreams came true today I seriously got choked up and almost started crying I love Disney and this was the perfect way to end the day! I had lost some of the magic with all of the ticket issues but after seeing that it all rushed back to me


I then continued my slow walk to the bus stop and headed on a bus to go home and get some sleep I mean I had to be at the gym in four hours

Pins traded for today
