[tinkgurl]

great update and pics.

I think we might try 1900 park faire next time. we have a few little girls going who might like it.

You should! Both the girls and you will love it!

The pic of your DS wanting to slap the Prince . I was thinking of adding a dinner at 1900 PF now I know I'm going to.

Haha, it was so funny. She was pretending to spank him and other tables were laughing at her as well. You really should add a dinner there because it's so good there!

Heya, I have been away for a few days as I took DBF away for his birthday but am just catching up now. I love your pictures, they are always so fun. The one of you and your sister on the bridge is so funny, did anyone see you when you were posing? And the one of Prince Charming, or his behind infact, how cheeky . I did notice your sister always looks really tanned, it so strange to see 2 sisters that looks so different. Everyone says me and my older sister look so alike, someone has asked if were twins. But then we looked so different when we were younger, complete opposites, its strange.

Glad to have ya back! I'm sure some people walked by and saw us posing and thought we were a bunch of freaks, but who cares?! Yeah, we're half Native American so my sister obviously got that. Or all of it.

Day 6: June 21, 2008

Okay folks, this is going the be the lamest post you have ever read in a TR. "Why?", you might ask. Well..apparently we didn't take very many pictures that day. And you already know from before that I didn't keep a daily journal like I usually do. Please forgive me for this shortest of short updates.

On the bus...Yes I know I already wore this shirt once this trip, but it's one of my favorites! And don't worry, it was washed! :

Apparently, we went to the MK because this is on the people mover and apparently we got SOAKED:

I remember getting off the people mover and we were sitting on a bench in Tomorrowland trying to figure out what we wanted to do next because it was still raining...and we looked down and saw these guys:

Well...the next thing I can remember is going to Coronado Springs to eat dinner at the Maya Grill. We went over there early of course to explore the resort as we have never even been over there to look around. It's a beautiful place, but we saw a lot of convention people. We were still early for our ADR so we went out to the tables by the bar and got some drinks. It's fun just to sit back and relax once in awhile at WDW.

After we ate, we headed over to MGM for evening EMH's. We of course had to do ToT because it's even scarier at night! But, the view is gorgeous when the doors open! I'm always afraid that the ride is going to stop though and we'll get stuck (I'm claustrophobic). It was weird riding ToT this trip without having my B/F's hand to hold.

We decided to skip Fantasmic this year......yes, shocking, I know. It just was a really weird trip for us this year with everything that was going on at home and it was weird not having B/F with us since he's been quite a few times with us now. The second Fantasmic was going on and EMH's were starting so I got the idea that we should head back to Toy Story Mania and see how bad the line is because we loved this ride. The wait time said 40 minutes and we said "heck yeah we doing it!" The CM standing by the enterance kept yelling at people "The wait time is wrong! It's longer than 40 minutes! I wouldn't try it if I were you!" And we just looked at each other.... We walked in the building and around the corner to start the queue line and........seriously.......no one.....in.....line..we looked at each other as we were weaving around and walking straight through the first room and we all had the "" confused look. We walked all the way up to a little line right before we boarded the ride. We were on the ride in less than 15 minutes! Let's just keep this a secret betwen us on here so no one else gets the idea!

Here's the talking Mr. Potato Head in the queue line. It's kind of like Crush, he asks you questions/jokes and then replies to your answer! He also poses for pictures which is what he did for us!:

I don't remember what else we did...I'm sorry. I really am. I promise my next TR will have a daily journal FULL of details.

Up next: Last Full Day

That is so weird that the CM told you not to ride and there was no wait! Awesome for you though!

I have to hold DF's hand on ToT too, this time I tried to be brave and put my hands in the air like the rest of my family but I couldn't do it

I'm so sad that the next update is of your last full day, I love your report and I don't want it to be over!

We have no clue why the CM was saying that or why the wait said 40 minutes. But heck, I'm not complaining! Sounds like we are the same about ToT!!!

I'm sad too...I don't want it to be over because I love keeping in touch with everyone on here and when my TR always ends, no one ever keeps in touch with me.

Ah it wasn't the lamest post ever, you still had some really nice pictures in there. And its so weird you say lame, I always thought that was a British term . We stayed at CSR last year and it was a very beautiful resort, especially looking over the lake in the morning with the sun coming up. But there were lots of convention people all the time and they completely took over the bar area which wasn't good

While CSR is beautiful, it just didn't feel as much of a Disney resort as most of the others.

Haha, I didn't know lame was a British term. See, I learn something new every day! I'm so glad you didn't think the update was bad. I tried. For some reason we just didn't take that many pictures the last few days. I think we were starting to get sad about our last day.

I love love LOVED 1900 Park Fare for dinner. I have mostly boys and they even liked it and got into it. I think my 13 year old was slightly smitten with Cinderella though. The Tremaines were my favorite though. I played back to them, so we got some interesting comments. Lady Tremaine asked if my son was eligible and from across the restaurant, Anastasia starts yelling "Mother! Mother! MOTHER!" until Lady Tremaine looked at her and said "WHAT dear?". Anastasia yells back "Is he eligible??". They went back and forth for awhile, and my son was turning red...it was hilarious. Then Anastasia and Drizella were yelling back and forth across the restaurant for awhile...and Drizella went to one of the tables across the aisle from us and crawled under the table to get to another little boy who was hiding from them. All we could see of her was her bustle... I'm definitely going back there when we take the kids back. Next month, dh didn't want too many character meals...although we ended up with one or two...lol.

Ah I know what its like . On the way over on the plane I always take hundreds of pictures and then on the way back I look back and have about 1. I don't even realise until I look back that I haven't taken them, I just get so bummed I forget completely. Its even worse being stuck on a plane for 9 hours, on the way I don't mind, I have Disney to look forward to after all, but on the way back its like torture, I get so fidgety.

Haha, that is great! They really are a great addition to 1900 Park Fare. And I LOVE that they get so into their character. Makes for great memories!

I couldn't see any of your pictures?! Is it my laptop or the pictures? They all said photobucket exceeded bandwith! I want to see I want to seeeeee

Its the pictures, not your laptop hun. On a photobucket account you have so much bandwidth each month, which gets taken up every time you post a photo or someone looks at it, and if it exceeds the photos disappear, normally until the start of the next month. My bandwidth kept exceeding so I had to upgrade to a plus account which gives you much more bandwidth, so far I have had no problems.

 

[MeMom]

I'm sad too...I don't want it to be over because I love keeping in touch with everyone on here and when my TR always ends, no one ever keeps in touch with me.

Wait a minute now, what about me? I checked in on you, didn't I???

You can hang around everyone else's reports AND start on a pre-trip for your next one.

We had to upgrade on the photobucket, but it's only like $3-$4. It's either that or wait your time out, and with all the pictures I take, we'd never get a report finished doing it that way.

Yes, you did . How long is my time out?! I don't like time outs! What if I delete some other pictures that are old in my album?

Tink, I WILL keep in touch with you too, don't worry!!

Okay good!

 

[troobabiee7]

Ohhh no, your pictures! You could always just start a new Photobucket account so you don't have to deal with Bandwith issues, and post the new pictures there!

good idea!

 

[tinkgurl]

Okay Hold On Everybody I"m Gonna Upload The Pics From My Newest Update!

 

[punkin413]

also, go to your account options on your photobucket account, scroll down to "album settings" and change your album to private instead of public. that way not just anyone can view your pics and it will cut down on your bandwidth.
