"I'm Doing That Again... and AGAIN!" - A May/June 2013 TR

[Mrs T 2009]

When we met dug and Russell, there was a real squirrel behind us. Dug literally tried following it into the trees!!! It was awesome!

Sounds like your night was pretty darn perfection!!
I can not wait to be back there in October!!! I miss disney so much!!!!

 

[smile4stamps]

Wow! You were just an updating fool this morning!! I LOVE IT!

Totally understandable how you got the FP machines mixed up since they were right next to each other. I am sad that there is no more traditional FP.

Thats awesome that there was no wait for Little Mermaid! It's often like that at DL but I hadn't heard of that happening at WDW!

I love Wishes. Most of the time now I catch it from Ca Grill but mayber we can make it INTO the park to catch it this trip!

Multiple FotLK shows?? I'm good with that.

Oh man, I keep trying to meet Dug and Russell and just never seem to pull it off. Russel is one of those rare "real person" fur characters that doesn't terrify me like Sofia does.

Art of Music Resort. I just love stupid people.

I want some Disney Nugs now. Thanks Marissa...

I love looking at the resort photos. There's now a pretty good chance I'll be staying there in May 2015.

HAHAHAHA, as much as I love buying Disney apparel, I do admit there are times when it's just... necessary.

Look at that, Disney Magic intervening in your FP quest.

The lighting in the Storybook Circus meets is horrible. No other word for it. Horrible.

Awww I so love your infections joy riding the Ariel ride. I would love to ride with you one day. But you NEED to meet Ariel in fin.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH WISHES O'CLOCK!!!!!!!! My heart just literally exploded!!!! So glad this is catching on!!!!!!

This is the second report of Wishes behind the castle I've read recently so I am absolutely going to do this next trip.

You are an updating machine! Great job keeping me entertained for the last few updates!

I love your excitement for the non-existent line at Little Mermaid! And yay for back-to-back-to-back rides!

I've seen Wishes from BoG and that part of FL and don't you find the sound reverberates back there more and it is more dramatic? Maybe it's just me. I loved that different perspective though. And I'm sure the people viewing alongside you that night thank you.

I didn't know that it was the 50th anniversary of IaSW. Happy belated b-day IaSW!

I love your Russell and Dug pose! The more I see photos in other people's TRs the more I feel like what's my problem, why have I never seen them? Glad you don't have that regret!

And finally, I'm so looking forward to seeing you next trip!

Awww, it's over. Wah. I was just finishing catching up when I get an email with the wrap-up post in it. Boo. Oh well, it was a wonderful trip to read about and sounds like an equally wonderful trip to experience! Makes me wish I had hidden myself from all the New Fantasyland spoilers, but I don't think I could've lasted as long as I have without a trip and still hiding from every New Fantasyland out there. It would've been worse not knowing than actually knowing.

But now we're toughing it out together with all the Festival of Fantasy spoilers so I'm proud of myself for handling that (sort of)! Sad to hear you won't be doing a TR for your May trip. I'd love to see a video montage of your trip though, those are fun! I've literally been watching the bosox ones over and over again for the past few days. I'm hoping to do one for my June trip too. It'll be a Disney Trip Video party this summer haha

BTWs, I'm so glad you're deciding to get into pin trading! It'll be interesting to hear how that goes in May. I know you'll enjoy it. A shame you aren't going a month and two weeks later or I'd show you how we pin traders do lol

Excited to hear about more of your plans for May and will be sticking around for whatever you decide to do in terms of non-TR reporting!

Oh, and have a magical daaa---uh---night, Marissa!

The flight was uneventful, but I fell asleep and dreamed that the window seat I was sitting next to had turned into an open door and that I was falling out the plane. So that was fun...

[/SIZE]​

OMG! I don't mean to laugh but that struck me as so freakin' funny!

You seriously did some major updating last night.

I think its great that you picked MK for your last night. It sounds like you had a fantastic evening. Everything being walk ons - wow - what's not to like. And, yes, BTMMR IS a completely different ride at night.

I enjoyed your videos of Belle. I was sleep deprived the one and only time I visited that attraction so I probably should go back and revisit. I don't remember much.

I'm sort of 50:50 on the early vs late departures. I have the opposite problem. The only cheap flights I can get are late at night OR 6:30am. Yeah - NO - not doing a 3 am ME pickup. But in May my flight doesn't leave until 7:30 at night and then I have a 90 minute drive home. No matter how many times I check I can't seem to come up with a better alternative.

Speaking of May - when are you going? I forget.

I absolutely loved your wrap up. thanks for taking the time to do that and post all those great pictures. You have so many that are really lovely - the castle, the fireworks, EE from a distance and I could keep going on but my memory is not that great.

Sorry you won't be doing another TR. I, for selfish reasons, hope you change your mind.

 

[Mrs T 2009]

I vote for at least a quick wrap up with pics of your May trip like what you did to wrap up its trip. Quick daily "I did this/went here" type of thing.

Seems like this trip ended in a great way, though

Love all your pins!!

 

[Pluto0809]

Wow that was a lot of updates over the weekend! I'm sure I had tons to say but I don't remember everything now. Let's see what I do remember to comment on.

Awesome that you did a FOLK marathon. I probably would have done that in October because the rumors were already flying about the closing if Jim hadn't been with me.

I want to do that Mickey and Minnie greet at AK sometime! I think that's the only place you can meet them together now, isn't it?

All your pictures of POR have me so excited for May! I haven't stepped foot on that resort since 1998.

Your night at MK sounds sooooo magical! I did something similar on my solo trip a year ago. All of the rides were walk ons (except for Winnie the Pooh ) and I was practically running from ride to ride. I finished up my last night with Buzz Lightyear too. I was planning on SM as my last ride but as I was exiting Tommowland at 11:59 pm, the line for Buzz was still open and I couldn't resist!

I discovered on this last trip how much I love being in the very back of the ride vehicles like you were on IASW. I can take so many more pictures when I'm not worried about blocking people's views or annoying them with the light from the camera screen!

I loved the videos and your reactions on ETWB! I had seen the whole thing before hand on the internet and you are right, it's better if you don't know. I've been trying to avoid pictures of the new Festival of Fantasy parade and also the new Harry Potter section at US so I can be surprised when I first see them!

I love all the pins you got! I hope you do get into pin trading it is a lot of fun and very addicting.

 

[mickeymouse108]

joining your trip report I just read your intro and I love your energy and its weird but I am thinking going to Disney with you would be a blast.

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

OMG isn't that door out of nowhere insane????? Actually, all the technology in Enchanted Tales is unreal.

I find it so funny (though not surprising) about the draw of the Tangled Toilets. No matter where you are in the Kingdom... Gotta Pee??? Hold it until the Tangled Toilets.

I will ONLY ride BTM at night. I personally find the daytime ride to be boring now, but at night??? O... M... G... Fun to the MAX!

"It's Cinderella! We found her!" CM's

I'm so glad you laugh at the jokes on Jungle Cruise. I do too. Sometimes I'm the ONLY one (seriously people, get a sense of humour), but you will always hear me guffawing. We're a little different in our night-time experience though. I thoroughly agree that the skipper makes or breaks the ride, but the first time I rode it at night, the "animals" seemed more real to me.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU SAW THE KISS GOODNIGHT?????? I've been trying to see this for forever. Jealous = ME!

ARGH I hate early morning departures. Like who in there right mind is wanting early morning departures AWAY from Disney? Why do these flights even exist???

Ooh, I need a POP pin.

I totally understand you POP aversion based on your stay. As it's the only place I have stayed, I have no comparative, so it'll always be special for me. I am looking froward to a (hopefully) POR or POFQ stay though. Nothing but praise for this place from everything I've heard.

Oh no, you're not doing a TR for the next trip????? Actually I totally understand, but please consider maybe a summary post. Pretty please???

 

[sunnysideup3]

Great finish! I hope you tweet some pics from your solo trip! I will definitely follow you over there!

 

[sstewart]

I'm so sad your trip report is over! I've been lurking the whole time- I'm not very good at commenting like I should! I kept waiting for you to get to this night and your experience at Belle's cottage. The Chips in the photos are my little cousins and I found myself in your last video that you posted. That was such a great experience and I wish I would gone up to you afterwards and spoken! I thought I recognized you but wasn't sure. Hopefully another one of our trips will overlap. I'm jealous that you're going back soon! We have to wait until October . What a great trip report- I hope you will consider doing another one. It seems like all of the TR writers I enjoy reading aren't planning on doing them again. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

 

[livsmom04]

I'm sad your trip report is over but looking forward to hearing about your upcoming trip. Also check out my trip report that I'm working on now.

 

[wiigirl]

Great update!

 

[smile4stamps]

Wow.. Surprised at how fast this got tied up!! But then I completely understand!! I've had my reports kind of drag on for a long time!!

I've skipped doing ones for all my recent Disneyland Trip and haven't done a TR and DR since my Oct 2012 trip so for this one I may give it another try.. I'm going to be traveling with such fabulous company and meeting such amazing people it should be worth it!

less than 6 weeks to go!! Wo-Hoo!!
