I think we ate at every character meal.. TRIP REPORT w/pics! FINISHED!!!!!!!

[maroo]

To tell you the truth... I've never read a pre trip report. I guess I should read a few to see what they are all about. With writing this report my wife walks by and says 'You on that computer again?' There isn't enough time in the day to read ALL the posts on the DIS!!!

We have to goto Orlando for a few days this fall, I'm sure we will make a 'quick' stop in Disney. Has anyone ever done a 1 day trip report? LOL

Thanks for reading.

I think I have a few more tidbits to add to this TR before its totally done!

Never done a 1 day TR...or pre-trippie...but I did plan a trip in 4 days (6 night trip to the world...VERY last minute!)...and the DIS was very helpful!!!

 

[that's nice]

I have only had good experiences with the people I've interacted with here on the DIS. Although I have read some threads that have gotten nasty. There is so much good info on here. I won't be going anywhere!!

Thank you for sharing your lovely family & wonderful vacation! Please keep us updated on any future trips!

 

[my2disneyboys]

well check out my pre trip! Or, I have seen some for a day or two as well. It's just a place to write and get excited about your trip with others who are going.
My husband is always saying the same to me.. "are you on the DIS again?" and then I catch him looking through the posts... Hee!

I have so enjoyed reading your TR and being able to share in the absolute supreme cuteness and sweetness of your little princess, Juliana is just too adorable and i'm so glad you all had a wonderful holiday together

Am looking forward to your next trip and you've certainly made me more excited (not that I needed a lot of extra encouragement mind you!) about planning our first trip to WDW with our little princess

God bless you all and have fun planning your next trip, cheers!!

Here is a quick run down of our ressies and CS meals.

Best Character Breakfast- 1900 Park Fair- great food and a really fun time with the Mad Hatter
Best Character Dinner- 1900 Park Fair (DW would vote for CP)- I liked it because DD loved Cinderella and this set our trip off right.
Best Breakfast- Kona Cafe- We love this place. Try the macadamia pancakes. They are awesome.
Best Dinner- 'Ohana- The food was excellent and seeing Wishes from our table was awesome.
Best Lunch- Flame Tree BBQ- That pulled pork sandwich was sooo good. Make sure you add some BBQ to your sandwich!!
Best Park- LOL I think all of them were our favorites!

Thank you for sharing your lovely family & wonderful vacation! Please keep us updated on any future trips!

Your Welcome. Thanks for reading. Hopefully I can get our friends excited so we can actually get some tentative plans going!

I'll be subbing and following along!!!!

How old is you DD? Over on the resorts sections in the CSR threads, Juliana has been crowned the poster child of CSR! LOL

Well if you are bored I have a PTR

I subbed. Now I need to start reading it!

 

[tbelfonti]

GREAT trip report! I laughed, I cried! (I read the whole thing in one sitting ).

You have a beautiful family - your daughter is gorgeous and my kind of gal (loving the IASW ride just like me )

Well that doesn't surprise me, she should be crowned the poster child of WDW she's that cute! Am gonna go read that CSR thread soon as I definitely want to stay there next trip.

My little princess Matilda is 16 months next week. We've been to Disneyland Paris with her (for her 1st birthday - my TR is posted on the Disneyland Paris TR section, November 2008 if you ever need to kill 10-15 mins ) and we're going back to Disneyland Paris in September. We will probably go to WDW Sept 2010 or 2011 so she'll be either 2 1/2 or 3 1/2 when we go, a great age to visit WDW I think!

Thank you for sharing your trip. You have a beautiful family, your daughter is just darling. I cannot wait to get to CSR, your pics make it look just wonderful. Which I am sure it really is.

Juliana had fun when we went 3/08. She was about to turn 2. She had more stamina this time. She also wasn't as shy around the face characters this year. She had an autograph book this time and she really enjoyed getting them. So Matilda will be right around the age when Juliana went. I'll check out your TR!!

We loved CSR. As you can tell from the report, we didn't get to spend a lot of time there. Maybe next time we go I'll need to add an extra day just so we can chill at the resort for another day. We also didn't have hoppers which might of made us stop back at the resort mid-day if we were going to travel to another park for the evening. Have a great trip!

I was thinking of a few other things while I was reading over my TR (trying to wish we were still there) since I didn't do a pre-trip report.


Out of all the vacations we have taken, this last one took the most pre-planning of them all. I booked in November and starting making ressies the beginning of December. Although it was fun, it is also stressful trying to plan where we were going to be and what we wanted to eat 4 months later. I was checking Disney's website daily checking their parks schedules. I originally had Tuesday as our MK day. SpectroMagic was supposed to be that night. In January Spectro was switched to Monday. I called and swapped my Monday & Tuesday ressies. Luckily, besides a few time changes, I was able to get everywhere I wanted. Well about 2 weeks before we left, a new schedule was released. There were different days for EMH's and no Spectro Monday or Tuesday!!!

I guess stuff like this adds to the fun of planning a Disney vacation. I have more to add.
To be continued.......

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. We are staying at CSR in June for the first time as well and can not wait! I am so sad that your report is over...I feel like I know you and your beautiful family. Thanks again!

OMG this is absolutely my favorite picture! She looks sooooo cute here and her personality seems to shine through! I love this one!!!!

Your wife and me would be a bad combo around "stars". I'm totally the same way. I would totally have a heart attack to see someone super famous in real life. LONG ago when Demi Moore and Robert Redford were filing Indecent Proposal, i was with my family in LA on vacation. We were at the park where they were filming and my mom and I were hoping (PRAYING) to see someone famous. Well as we were leaving we see a man (all alone) walking across the parking lot to a trailer. As he passes in front of us, he waves and winks at us in the car. It was ROBERT REDFORD! My mom and I just sat there screaming for about 10 min! He just laughed and went on into the trailer!

Well I'm sad your TR is over. You are an entertaining writer and have a beautiful family! God Bless the 3 of you!

 

[seobaina]

I will. I'll be reading some to see what they are all about! Next time I am taking pics of EVERYTHING! (i want to see if I can beat your pic count LOL)

the challenge is on! I look forward to it!

 

[scottny]

sorry to see it end but it was a great tr.

Looks like you all had a great trip.

 

[JAG2007]

I am researching (borderline planning) my family's (DH, MIL, DD (2)) first trip to WDW in December 2009 and I am thankful that I ran across your TR because you went to all the character meals I was considering!

Also, it's nice to read how your 2, nearly 3, year old did and I am wondering how mine will do.

Thank you, again, for writing your TR! It was a great read!
