Second-last flashback from 2008

Day 12 was our last Disney day for this trip and we went to:

Animal Kingdom.
We didn't really spend alot of time there because wanted to give mam a chance to see something else...
So we wandered about for a bit, went to see Nemo as that show wasn't there in 2005. We didn't have alot of time to do anything else in the park after Nemo as the show was delayed for 20 or 30 minutes because someone had fainted and got sick just as show was about to start so afterwards we just wandered and took a few pics

and then headed over to:

Epcot The Flower and Garden Festival was on and my mum likes gardening so thought she would like that! We didn't really go on many rides (I didn't know they were there silly me ) but we wandered around world showcase taking pics as we went. Got los of pics of the different toparies:

day 12 continued...
Split it as I'm not sure how many pics will go in one post
Anyway we also got pics of different countries as we went along as well (have fun naming them )

We met this dude and his friends as we went around as well

After looking at all the flowers and countries we decided to have a go on Nemo as that ride wasn't there in 2005 either

Looking at park map from last time I'm pretty sure we did Turtle talk with Crush and Circle of Life shows as well.
After one of them we spotted this guy as well

I guess it was a character dining place he was wandering around but I don't remember which one!
We went shopping then and I got a plush Stitch because he was just calling out for me to buy him we were going to go into character spot then but the CM wouldn't let us they said they were closing but I stepped in a took a quick pic while mam was talking to the CM and well I guess someone spotted me because this is what I got:

What great flashback pics you've posted!

You say that there was a lot you missed on your last trip, but it seems that you did so many different fun things. You got good "overviews" of SO many parks, and this time you'll know more about what new things to do and what you want to see again!
You got to experience a lot, plus dance

I hope you have an even better time this trip, especially getting to set your own pace and schedule.

YAY! for us both being so close to our trips

Yeah know more about parks and that this time round especially food in the park so going to search out some of the things I learned and this time we're going to explore all of Animal Kingdom as we never really did that before. Plus I want more character pictures this time round.

And totally agree yay being so close to trip. Hope next 25 days flies by

Ah it will and it helps that in work rotas have gone up until week before the trip so makes it seem closer now! lol

Three weeks to go

I got my first dollars today for the trip

20 days to go... time for the final flashback from 2008

Day 13 last time we went back to Seaworld first because we love it and second because mam wanted to get some shamu mugs she'd seen there!
Anyways we did all the shows again and this time I got pics because had taken video the first day we were there..

I love this pic was really good timing as the camera I was using actually has delay on it

Love the dude who entertains audience while waiting for Sealion show to start as well.

On of Sealions got a bit naughty that day as well and refused to do some of the tricks... He was meant to be jumping in and just stuck his tongue out instead!

And last but not least the main whale:

Day 14 we flew home all sad to be leaving disney and Florida.

Great pics!

I'm not sure whether Believe will be still happening in December. SeaWorld got fined for the death of the trainer and they are going to be going to court. I hope it is still showing.... it looks amazing.

Aw it'd be a pity if they cancelled it. I had heard it was changed somewhat as they took out the part in the middle where the cute sad music was on and a trainer was in the water with the whale and I know the come dine with shamu thing isn't on anymore but it would be a shame if they had to cancel the whole show over it. I know it's sad that the trainer died but I think it was just an accident and I don't think it was necessarily seaworlds fault. Believe was a great show so hopefully it can stay but just changed a bit.




Anyone know btw what the weather is like in New York on last week of September?

Anyone know btw what the weather is like in New York on last week of September?

Do you like playing the lottery?

It could be high 80's.. it could also be high 60's. I got married 9/24/04 and it was 90 and humid. So you never really know. If I had to guess mid 70's day and it will take a little longer to cool of at night in the city so 55-60 at night. I am 1 1/2 hours northeast of NYC.

60's-80's is grand just so long as I don't need to factor packing winter clothes If we get cold we can always buy stuff lol. We're going to NY for four days before we fly home!


Oh on a side note went for my pre-trip dentist visit today.. he hurt me! One of my teeth had a crack in the enamel that was to small to fill so he did a mini filling and sealed it but it hurt! And 19 days to go!!

 

[petals]

15 days to go!

Ordered dollars today and booked bus for airport and Paid in full for trip and tickets

So when can I start packing and not be freakishly early

Anyone here's my planned semi schedule! Nothing is set in stone though except the Halloween party and two ADR's so anything else can change

Day 1 is flying!
2: Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure... HARRY POTTER!!! Prob do IOA second as I heard it's easier to get into HP part after 3!
3: Florida Mall and MNSSHP
4: Shopping centre day
5: Seaworld
6: Animal Kingdom... and maybe Epcot. AK is open til 5 and we have hopper option so we'll see how we feel and if we're not tired we might go over to Epcot for a while as it's open til 9 but our main focus is AK because we've never really explored it properly!
7: Shopping centre/rest day... shopping can be restful right?!!
8: Hollywood studios and I have a lunch ADR in Sci fi that day and it's Arthur's Day (do ye celebrate that in america??!)
9: Magic Kingdom.. I'm divided on this because I've never seen park opening ceremony which I would like to see but then I want to see wishes which won't be on til 9 that night and I know if we arrive at 9am we probably won't last til 9 that night in the park so don't know which to do yet! We'll see how we go when we get there I guess!
10: Last Florida day.. Have CB booked at O'hana and plan to explore downtown disney unless other trip goer doesn't want to go back to something else!
11: Fly to New York then possibly go to waxworks and/or worlds biggest build a bear shop... trip mascot is a used to be white build a bear so slight fan!
12: Sight seeing day
13: Sight seeing again... apparently ticket you get for loop buses lasts for two days hence second sight seeing.. Wicked on broadway that night
14: Shopping!! Lion King on broadway that night
15: fly home boo

All that equals epic trip I won't want to go home after...
