I don't want to ride the bus! I want to ride the Monorail! Update 6/29 Day 4

[Pooh&OurHunny]

Congrats on your GREAT NEWS!!! We are thinking of going that week or the 3rd week. I want my son to experience Christmas in Disney. Are you guys planning on going to the MVMCP? My son loved Pirate/Princess Party and MNSSH.
I can't to read the rest of your trip review

Congrats! How great that your family will get to enjoy some great restaurants. We'll be at POP from 12/3-10...maybe we'll see you.

Hey great update and that's great that you got a free dining code. Are you going to start a pre trip report up for you December trip?

 

[bertegirl]

Ok so I am flipping back and forth between my shutterfly project and your trip report. I think I am done and know I need to get it ordered tomorrow to get it here in time for Jenny's birthday. When I totally started laughing at Tyson steering the wheel. I hadn't even read your post, yet. He is too darn cute. Jenny and you have the same Minnie t-shirt, although we haven't found it since we got back from WDW. Ugh! Great job on the codes. I still have never seen one to even know what it is. I need to get to work on my Day 5. Hopefully when this photo book is finished!

Congrats on getting the free dining pin. Well, your dad got the free dining pin but you're reaping the benefits too.

If only doing school work was as much fun as writting trip reports!!!

Your report is so cute!

Congrats on the free dining!! I sooo want to go in Dec. You'll have to let us know all about it!

 

[BridetobeDisney]

Glad to see you back . Love the update. The pix of Tyson are so good, I miss Disney so much. I am trying to get into the planning of my September trip, but I don't have as much to plan except dining and I am going to make my ADRs on line in the morning. Wish me luck .

Thanks! I was really missing the Dis. Every time I get on though I think about what homework I could be doing. Ughh I'll be glad when this semester is over. I don't do very well in summer courses because they are so fast and jam packed. You jump right in! LOL

Who all is going on your Sept. trip. I've got to catch up with your TR. Did you get your ADRs?

Congrats on the free dining pin. I got one in the mail today too. I called to see about having the pin applied to our September trip and it actually added $20 to our trip. Since we bought APs in May I may see about booking in November.

Thanks! I wish that I had got the pin instead of dad. This means dad can't decide not to go last minute because of work. He has to go! That will be hard. I think they may go for 3 nights and we'll go for 5.

Oh you should go the week we are!!! December Dis Meet!!!!!

We won't be going to MVMCP because we are going to use that money to get PH instead.

Congrats! How great that your family will get to enjoy some great restaurants. We'll be at POP from 12/3-10...maybe we'll see you.

I know! I think my family will be surprised. They have no clue how awesome Disney is. When they took me as a kid, we would go to MK for one day while we were on vacation in Daytona. Most of the time we visited Universal instead of Disney.

DECEMBER DIS MEET!!!!!! I swear ya'll this is the beginnings of a meet! OK so far it's me, Pooh&OurHunny, and thegreggersmom!

Hey great update and that's great that you got a free dining code. Are you going to start a pre trip report up for you December trip?

hey thanks! Yes. as soon as my TR is done I'll start a PTR for Dec! YAY!

Ha Ha! Yeah he cracks me up. I mean I really wouldn't have thought to use the stroller wheel as a steering wheel.

I hope you find the shirt! I wear all my shirts around the house now. I'll get christmas shirts for the Dec. trip.

Dad's pin was mailed to him. It was a folded card offering free dining and there was a 15 (I think) digit code to give the CM. Sometimes the offers are emailed to you. Also you can call and ask a CM to check to see if a code is attached to your name. Some people are saying that CMs will not check anymore but someone did for me last week. If they say they won't check, hang up and call again. Keep doing it until you get a CM that will check.

Good luck with the photo book!! I made one for my mom last christmas!

Congrats on getting the free dining pin. Well, your dad got the free dining pin but you're reaping the benefits too.

Ha Ha! Yes, I am reaping the benefits. I told him yesterday that this means he has to come now because its in his name! I just pray he'll be able to.

Ha Ha exactly! If only homework was that fun! Can I request that my homework only be on the topic of Disney and planning vacations?

Thanks! I wish I took more pics but we were just having so much fun that I kept forgetting. Amber sent me our photopass pics so I'm looking for to posting all of them.

After I finish my TR, I will start my PTR for Dec. Will you all follow me over? Pretty please?

May 12​

The next morning we got up and drove over to the Poly for our ADR at Ohana. Well, the monorail had broke down for a while and all the ADRs had piled up. The waiting area in front of Ohana was packed. The lady CM said that we would get in no matter what but that it could take a while. Tyson was starving and I thought about leaving but he had so much fun here last year. We decided to stay. We waited about 30 minutes and finally were seated. It was around 11 am by then. I guess more lunch time than breakfast.

Here's a tip. Eat here early. You will hopefully get more character interaction because they are not hurrying around to the tables so people can leave. Our ADR was at 7:30 am last year. Way too early for us but Tyson had fun and we made rope drop. That will probably never happen again though.

We will not be eating here in Dec. I'm ready to move on to a new breakfast place if any.

Watches Mic leave

Pluto wanted Mickey waffles (me and him both! YUM!)

Stitch dancing

Ready to video and still eating

LILO!!!

Giving Tyson a kiss

I love her

Then the silliness happened. Tyson went bonkers.

And finally our favorite STITCH! I love him. Unfortunately this Stitch was in a very big hurry. Quick pic and sign the book then walked away. I was like, "Well, then guess it's time to go."

Tyson watching Stitch leave.

Contd...

 

[stacikristine]

First of all, CONGRATS on getting to go back in December! SOO exciting! I love all of your pictures. It looks like a wonderful couple of days! Congrats with midterms being over--how much longer are you in school? I'm finishing in August, and I CAN'T WAIT! Sorry Stitch didn't stay long...

 

[BridetobeDisney]

We drove over to DHS and went straight over to Playhouse Disney. Tyson loved it.

It's the cutest show. A bit misleading though. They were playing music as everyone was walking in. The music was from different shows on playhouse Disney. Well, they played a Wiggles song so automatically Tyson thought we were going to see the Wiggles. We took him to their concert last Nov. When he sees these pictures he tells me the Wiggles were there.

We decided just to walk around since we were so late getting to the park. TSM was a 90 min wait and of course FP were gone so we kept walking. Tyson can't wait that long. I grabbed a strawberry margarita and and Tyson got a Fanta strawberry frozen drink. Mine was good and strong. I would recommend it. Tyson's was better though and much cheaper. Oh and his was not on the DP as a snack. This was by the fountain.

We had to change Tyson's diaper so we went over to the family bathroom. Guess what? You guessed it. No FREAKIN changing table!!! In the stupid FAMILY bathroom!!!! UGH What the Heck! So I took my angry toddler by myself in the women's bathroom then back outside to Brad so that I could go back and use it.

Whatever so we start walking down the streets. Where is the umbrella? I want to find that next time.

It was almost time for the parade so we went back by the Star Wars ride and parked ourselves by the American Idol show.

It's very high energy! The CMs are super friendly and want kids to participate. Brad and I were both very surprised by how much we liked it.

After that I got in line to ride Star Wars. It looked like it was going to rain when I got back. Brad bought Tyson the light saber keychain. It's glass and definitely not toddler proof. I let him watch it light up every once in a while.

We went over to ABC Commissary to share a burger and get tyson some nuggets. For some reason tyson started shaking the palm trees in there. Then he hugged them. I canceled our dinner ADRs and made a late ADR for Coral Reef. I love the food there.

contd..

 

[BridetobeDisney]

I think our ADR was for 8 something. i didn't take pics of the entrees. I had an amazing steak! Better than Le Cellier in my opinion. Brad had some kind of fish. I think.

dessert
Brad had the Baileys and Jack Daniel's Mousse. He liked it.

I had the Chocolate Wave! It is awesome!

Tyson had the sundae.

Then we took pictures outside. The park was closed.

He loves the lights on the ground near spaceship earth.


And that's it. The end of day 4.

Up next..the Dis Meet and riding test track with Kara

 

[mickeystoontown]

Look at Mr. Tyson getting to see all of the characters. Way to go boy!

Have you ever thought about booking an ADR at Hollyood & Vine? Don't they have some of the Playhouse Disney characters?

I thought about it. I just really don't like buffet food.

i'll eat at Boma and any family style place but that's as far as I go.

Thanks for the suggestion though. I am planning on booking Ohana dinner for Dec. I think my family will love it!

 

[bertegirl]

We loved our Crystal Palace ressie at 8:05 and Wendy and family were there, too. The park was so awesome and quiet at that time. And the food was very good! Plus we made it to Dumbo before anyone else. Jenny had plenty of time with the characters, those were some of my fave photos from our trip. I was laughing looking at Tyson eating the ice cream and thinking of you spray and washing his shirt later on. We are too much alike! Austin wore 3 tops today, because I had to wash them after each meal. I need to go back to bibs! Can't wait to hear about your trip in Dec. I am going to live through you for awhile!

 

[stacikristine]

How fun! Your day 4 looks amazing Tyson is so cute making that Sundae!

 

[BridetobeDisney]

Hey everybody! I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth. I am just swamped with school work. I have my final due tomorrow night at 11:59 pm and I have not started. I had a huge paper due yesterday. After that I will be finishing the report.

We had to cancel the reservations for Dec. We are still going but I couldn't pay both of the deposits for the two rooms. My parents couldn't pay right now. The pin is good until Oct. so we may still use it if rooms are still available. If not, we'll use the room only deals that are out at that time.

 

[BridetobeDisney]

We are leaving tonight for Disney!!! We decided to stay for a couple days. Only one night though. LOL we'll come back Saturday.

 

[racefanof88]

Have fun. We did the same thing for the 4th. It was fun to have a spur of the moment trip.

 

[stacikristine]

oh wow!!! Have SOOOOOO much fun!!!
