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

[Nermel9]

Wow lots of updates! So glad you got to see Enchanted Tales with Belle, isn't it awesome??

Ugh, waking up at 5:30 to leave Disney is the worst. I remember when we were leaving the Beach Club on one trip, we had to leave Disney at 5:30, so we got up at like, 3:30...awful.

Thanks for another awesome TR! I'm sorry you didn't love Pop, for a value resort, I think it's pretty fantastic, but then again, I've always had really great stays there! Everything was clean, no bugs, just perfect! However, POR is amazing!!! Especially those Royal Rooms! I'm dying to stay there again!

I understand about the TR break, I think I need one myself! I love writing them, but it's just so hard, and I feel bad because I can either update mine and get behind on everyone else's, or I can read everyones and neglect mine...no time for both anymore! I am excited to see all of you IG pics in May!

SO. MANY. UPDATES.

I love that we really got a feel for the TR title in these updates. FOTLK, Under the Sea... But what could be better when you're on a solo trip but doing whatever you want as many times as you want without having to worry about keeping someone else happy?

Aww, I'm disappointed that you won't be doing a TR for May, but I can understand needing a break. I'm in for whatever re-cap you decide to do! And of course, I can't wait to see you while we are there!!!

Ugh, that 5:30 wakeup after not getting back to your room until 1 must have been rough. But sleeping bunnies are adorable!

Go enjoy your next trip and enjoy your break from TRs! I really want to write one for my Disneymoon, but they do seem like a lot of work, especially if you do them frequently. I'll just continue to stalk you on twitter and instagram.

Your trip report was fantastic!! I'm so glad you had such a good time!!! Can't wait for the next one

As much as I've enjoyed writing these TR's and 'meeting' all of you lovely people, I think I'm ready for a break. I will still do SOMETHING to share my trip, whether it's a video or just a quick summary with pictures. Just know that if you're at all interested, you can also follow me on twitter and Instagram at mardgreen88. I'll definitely still be around and keep up with your threads, but I won't be writing my own. That doesn't mean I'll never do a TR again, because I'm sure that I will. Like I said, I just need a break.

I want to thank you all. If you're reading this, you're awesome. I know I lost a ton of readers due to the slow pace of this thing. It was hard to stay organized after my laptop unexpectedly 'died.' To those of you who stuck around, I can't thank you enough for doing so and being so patient. It really means a lot to me and I hope you enjoyed it. I know I enjoyed reading your sweet comments! Thank you again, so much.

And that's a wrap!

That's just how I felt at the end of our last report - it was time for a break. It's just about impossible to keep up with reading other reports, writing your own, and doing what you need to do in real life.

I think a lot of people have given up their DIS time and are just sharing pictures on FB, because it reaches a wider group of people they want to share with.

I've enjoyed catching up from time to time. Disney pictures always brighten up a day, so thanks for going to the trouble to share.

Oh my goodness! You were an updating pro!

Your MK night sounds like so much fun! I love, love, love being able to go on ride after ride late at night and simply soak up the Disney magic.
I would have loved to have been in the boat behind you at Small World. You gotta embrace the music and be a big kid.
The first time I can remember riding Splash, I sat behind this guy who danced and sang through the whole thing, and that was my favorite memory from it! It made me so happy to see, so I love the fact that you got into the attraction.



Okay, I'll admit, I was more than a little bummed to see you aren't going to do another May TR. I was going to leave off saying that I couldn't wait to read it.
However, I understand that you don't want to have to keep up with another one. Sometimes, it's nice not to have to worry about constantly updating.
BUT... if you change your mind, I'll be here.

Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed every update!

4 rides on EE is great.
Cute pic with Donald.
Glad you saw it 3 times. Makes up for not seeing at all last trip we went. LOL
Love the posing like Dug.
I am always hysterical laughing in Bugs Life. Everyone screaming is so funny to me.
Riverside Mill is my favorite CS place. The atmosphere and the smell you enter is fantastic.
Philharmagic is one my favorites. Love the scents, the film itself and all the different characters.
Nice pics on “it’s a small world”
I wonder why you have to exit the tent to re-enter the tent to see the other characters. LOl.
The title of the report really did come into on this day. LOL. Mermaid is fun.
That fireworks pic is really nice.
BTMRR is fun at night.
I prefer Jungle Cruise at night. I feel it adds something. Maybe it is just I have done it so many times in the day. LOl.
Sounds like a great night of fun.
Poor girl throwing up on the bus.
The security line in Orlando is horrible.
Nice pins.
Sorry POP wasn’t good for you. We have had good experiences there. You are right though about bugs anywhere. My friend had them in OKW.
POR is still my favorite non DVC resort.
Great report and pics. Thanks for sharing. Hope you do another one in the future.

So sad your trip is over!! At least you have another one coming up!! I love how much you crammed into your last full day!! It was truly inspiring and reminded me I need to meet Russell and Dug! Can't wait for the next adventure!

 

[tiggerfan77]

What an amazing last day!! You got to squeeze a lot in your last full day! I miss Port Orleans too. I didn't think I was going to like it as much as I did but I wished we had stayed there longer so we could enjoy all there is to do there. Thanks for sharing your trip and your next one will be here before you know it!

What a great last day in Disney. It's super sad leaving, and having to get up super early to leave is such an extra bummer. I'm glad your trip home was uneventful. So sad to see this TR over. I've enjoyed reading along with both of them (I even went back and read your first one at some point) I have fond memories of reading your 2012 TR with a my DH and a newborn in our arms. I can understand being burnt out, but I will miss reading a traditional TR from you this time. I am very much looking forward to meeting you in a few weeks though!

 

[emmysmommy]

It was so sad to see "end of updates" What a great wrap up Marissa. I wondered if you were going to mention the bug in the bathroom. It's those things that I remember for some reason.

I get the need to take a break from writing a TR. It is a big time commitment but know that you have so many marDgreen88 fans that will miss your wonderful TRs! No guilt intended there, I know how it is. (One reason I have not started a December TR.)

I'm looking forward to meeting you in a few short weeks!

Yay! I'm a lurker but I enjoy reading your TRs!! So I'm happy!!! Can't wait to read!!

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Marissa, stop lying

Actually this is a "lie" that I'm totally on board with you NOT following through on. I think. What I'm saying is YAY to another TR. Yah that's it.

I do feel what you are saying though. I've been writing pretty much straight since March 2013 (the day I joined) and haven't stopped. In fact the current TR wasn't even going to be until the trip happened and well, you can't not write about your favourite trip ever. It's a good thing I find time at work is all I'll say, lol. So when you have an EPIC trip upcoming, it needs to be written about.

I can't believe how close out trips are. A couple of more weeks and it's Disney time! I would love to hopefully catch up with you at some point that week. Always fun to meet dis-friends in person

 

[IheartDDuck]

Um, yeah, why would you NOT want to do a TR?!

Sometimes you have to take a break. I've done it a few times myself, which is why sometimes I fall behind a little on TR's. But it's a good thing to do.

I'll definitely read along on any TR you do.
