I am still enjoying your report! You can't miss the Lion King show next time, it is incredible! We also really enjoy the parade at AK, you seem so close to it because the path is so narrow!

 

[Katiebell]

Thank you all for enjoying my TR.....

Katie - I never got to see the lion King show. Next year i'll try it out.....

Don't miss Lion King on your next trip -- your DD will love it!!! And now I can't wait to see Nemo this year...

So today was our fastest "intermission time" Once we got back to the resort neither my DH or DD wanted to sleep so we just got washed up and went to DTD. At this point i'm already getting a little teary eyed since i know it will be out last night there. I hate having to say goodbye. So we decided to start by the marketplace od DTD and walk over to DisQuest. So we go into the WOrld of Disney store. By the way i LOVE this place you can find just about anything there. Moving along.... we went inside and bought a couple of minor things.

We decided to go pick up the wood thing my DH got made for my DD. IT is very cute but we cut through the store next to the pooh spot where it's like 10 and under... so as we enter we notice that there is a little friend in there too.

I am so amazed because over here in NJ once any animal sees a person they run. In Disney they actually come up to you and play. I guess it's the whole Snow white thing. They must sense her there you know how she is great with the animals... So we finish there and go to the back to pick up our wood carving...

here just a random pic we took but i liked it...

So we start to just walk around the marketplace area... This was the first time that my DH was going to pass the marketplace area.

In the previous year he didn't make it to DQ with me. So he is a little excited.... so we walk through paradise island but as you can imagine it's still early so it's a ghost town there. I told him next time we come we could leave the DD with a babysittter and go there one night. He is a little iffy about leaving her with people he doesn't know. we'll see what happens... So we make it DQ and we LOVED it. My DD was a little scared on the elevator since it get pitch black for about 2 seconds... but once the elevator doors open up it's as if she was in heaven... i literally could see the rays og light shining on her and i could hear the music in the background.... so we go a play ...

I notice some game like a jump rope game type thing and i decide that i want to do it... that is the extent of my playing...

So my DD was playing the family bowling thing and another little boy wanted to play so i took her off... Let me just say she got a time out again. My DH loved time outs on the trip.. She was throwing a little temper tantrum so what can i do...

So we finished playing and decided to head back to the resort we still had to pack and we decided to go eat dinner at Maya Grill again...

Pic taken at the bus stop....

So we get to the resort and go check in to eat.... Nothing special happened except that the waitor took FOREVER with everything... i was so happy we had nowhere to go that evening... so as my DH waited for the check i decided to go to the gift shop when my DD noticed someone trying on one of the big DIS hats... this is what she wanted to do..

I'm telling you she loves silly pictures.....

So we buy a couple more things... nothing big just keychains an things.. so we head back to the room and i notice from the outside that the TV was on... i was wondering why since the mousekeeping usually cleans up and doesn't watch TV... so when we opened the door we found the culprit of the TV..

Our mousekeeper was so great.... my DD loved that she sat right next to him and started to watch TV also..... So we packed watched some TV and fell asleep..... Very sad moment for me.....

Next up: our last day there...

 

[CleKait]

I just read your AK report and I loved Finding Nemo too. It was the first time I had ever seen it and it was probably my favorite thing at AK that day, next to the Lion King show. I must have a soft spot for musicials now.

You're daughter is so cute in all the silly poses! I hear ya on the wild life up here, it runs as soon as it sees you. I loved that you could get so close to all the critters down there!

 

[seacrestpromo]

Great pics and TR Mari. Your daughter is such a ham! Love it!

 

[mari360]

ok so my last day will be broken into sections... i have to many pictures to share with you guys and i'm only allowed 25 per post.....

Here goes.....

Ok so this morning we didn't wake up until about 8am. I decided to let us sleep a little before we had to check out. Since we left the luggage ready from the night before once i woke up i called luggage services to come pick up our luggage. Our game plan was to go eat breakfast then check into airline at RAC then off to MK..... So we all get up get ready and off to breakfast we go... very sad for me i hate saying goodbye to Disney. So we get to maya grill and eat the breakfast buffet. Great breakfast there by the way.

When it comes to pay for the check i know we have 2 TS remaining and the girl comes back and tells me that we had none. I was a bit surprised since in the receipt from the night before it showed 2 remaining. So the waitress was nice enough to just let me go figure it out at the front desk... so off i go.... everything turned out to be ok but i had to wait for about 15 min before i was able to speak to the young lady at the desk. I guess there were a lot of people wantin gdifferent things that day. While i waited my DD decided she wanted to watch TV.

So we go back and everything turns out ok so we head over to check in and leave our carryon bag with Bell services. so we head over to wait for the bus for MK.

The bus came within 5 minutes. It wasn't crowded or anything but i guess it was because of the time we were going it was like 11am before we actually got on the bus. I picked this park as our last day park because i just love it there and plus the time that we came before we didn't go to toontown so that is what we are doing that day.... So first thing we did was walk over to main street ... I love this picture...

She was so excited to see the castle again. Even here at home she keeps asking to go back to cinderella's castle. I tell her i know honey i want to go back too. So we start heading down main street and i tell my DH that i want a pic of my DD in front of the statue with Walt and Mickey. But before we get there my DH goes into a store where the guy is making those glass vases and such. He loves that stuff. I am determined to buy one next time we go. They are way too expensive for my DD to accidently break them... But i todl my DH if he ever really i mean really wanted to get me something he would not go wrong in getting me this:

He looked at it and said maybe one day i turned around and asked what planet does he live on and he asked my it's only 3700... i said honey no how about 37,000 she then told me to forget about it unless we win the lotto.... i guess i'll never get it... we don't play the lotto...

of course i have a clown for a daughter so here are the only pics that she took

Being Walt. Too bad she was using the wrong hand to point..... but wither way cute...

This is her imitation of Mickey. Very cute...... wait lets not forget the statues around this area...... She literally waited for people to leave the statue so she can take pics...

Goofy

Minnie

Roger Rabbit - i still can't believe i haven't showed her that movie... i have to get on top of that.....

Chip and Dale

Pinochio

Pluto

Dumbo

After that we headed over to toontown..... I love that place... very cute... oh yeah and this day it was very hot and humid. We were roasting walking around....

Well it's time for me to leave work.... i'll try to finish it off tonight..... oh the memories i get as i'm writing the TR.... at the end i'm just going to put pics since there are so many that i forgot to add in the begining of the TR.....

Next up: Toontown and my little tinkerbell

 

[RachelNinja]

Disney Quest looks like so much fun! And thanks for posting those statue pics. I have never seen them for myself. Last time I went, I really wanted to go and take pictures but it was SO crowded!

BTW, I think the rabbit one is Brer Rabbit (the one from Splash Mountain)? I could be wrong though.

Sad that it's your last day!!!

 

[alan_renfroe]

Awesome trip report, Marilyn! Your little girl is too cute for words!

 

[Katiebell]

Mari, just loving your trip report, and the pics of your DD! They are all so cute, but this one is my favorite...

I know it's so sad when you have to leave Disney...but the pics bring it all back, don't they?

 

[mari360]

KB - I love looking at my pics over and over it just get's me excited for my next trip down there....

 

[irky416]

Those pictures are so cute! I haven't seen all those statues before.

 

[mari360]

Well after my DD took all the goofy pics we decided to walk over to toontown since we didn't get to go there the first time we went to MK.

It was so hot that day i swear i felt as if my skin were going to melt off. Well it was a bit crowded so we didnt' get as many pics as i would have liked.... My DD decided that she wanted to go into minnie's house first which was ok with me.

My DH has a little shadow there.... and he looks so tired.....

I LOVE this pic.... my DD wanted to take it home to play with it.

After that we went into the tent to see the characters.... we decided to get on the princess line which may i add is always longer.... hmmmm.... so we waited here is a pic showing how red my DD was.... she only gets like that when it's HOT....

and once my DD say the 3 princess lined up she got so excited..... that day we saw.....

Belle.....

Cinderella.....

Sleeping beauty....

My DD loved every last bit of it. we walked around the store there for a little bit sicne we knew we would go out into the scorching heat again... ok maybe i'm exagerating just a bit... but it was hot that day.... so we walk over to Mickey mouse house...

why don't they have that house open the way they do minnie's house...

i guess my DD didn't like that very much since she just walked right through......

in the judge's tent we had a little surprise it wasn't only mickey in there his girlfriend minnie was there too.

 

[mari360]

throughout our trip there my DD kept wanting to get her face painted. I really didn't want to do it but DH said ok just do it. So we took her to pick out the face paint she wanted... we were there for about 10 minutes before she actually sat down. She couldn't choose one. She ended up shossing Tinkerbelle. So i'm afraid that she will not be still enough for the man to do his job but to my amazement she stood still. I never saw her so still in her entire life.... even sleeping she is a wild child.... so she get's her face painted.

Once this is done we decide to head back toward the entrance since it is now close to 3pm and we have to make it back to the resort to take our carryon out of belle services and get on the ME bus

here are some pics we took as we left the park...

We get to the resort and we go towards the area where the ME buss picks up people we weren't scheduled to leave until 5:15 but the bus at 4:30 had space we got on that one.

As we watched to closing video on the ME bus i started to tear up i hate when vacations come to an end but especially when my WDW vacations come to an end. I just sat back and thought of all the wonderful memories we will have from our trip. so we got to the airport around 5:15 way early but It was ok because we had to check in 1 of our bags that they didnt' take in RAC ... and we decided to have a bite at BK.... Our plane was scheduled to leave at 8:10pm bu we didn't leave until like 9:30.. i hate delays... here we are waiting

FINALLY we get on the plane...

we take off..... we all fell asleep on the plane.... we were all very tired.... here is what i saw when i awoke...

My DD was so upset when i told her we were home.... i guess she didn't want to leave WDW...

Well it's the end of this vacation. It's sad to go but hey atleast i can hope to start planning for the next vacation.

Thank you all for reading my TR..... first one i did and i think last one... i'll just post pics next time.... it was great remembering everything we did... but also very sad knowing i'm not there.....
