o im going to do one when i get back from
my seven day trip in 9 days

 

[MickeyLuvrLauren]

The next day, we were going to be meeting
my other family members around noonish at
Saratoga Springs. We were going to be staying
in a two-bedroom room. So, we got up, and after
giving the people at the front desk our luggage,
we said good bye to the AKL, and hopped on the
bus to Downtown Disney.

Once we were there we took a quick look in Goofy's
Candy Co., but i didnt get any candy cuz im not really a
big candy person. I more like the chocolate stuff.
Then, we went to the really big christmas shop, and of course
my parents just looovve the xmas tree ornaments,
so they had to buy a bunch of those. Then, by that time, it was
time to head to Saratoga Springs.

We got there before my other family member'ss bus was there,
so we looked around in the lobby, and got to decorate hackey
sack balls. I incorporated all the parks, and their symbol on mine,
which the cast member really liked. I walked over a little while later,
and saw her making the exact same one...copy cat! What can i say,
i have great ideas.

Once Duncle, Daunt, and Dcousin arrived, they were so excited.
They had only been to Disney one other time, but didnt see much
in the 4 days they went. Then, we had a cs lunch, and then went
to see our rooms. We were staying in the Grand Stand, the first
stop, which my mom conveniately booked. It was only a few minute
walk from the lobby and big pool. I liked how the Grand Stand had a
nice big pool of their own, with a bar, water shooters, and hot tubs.

I was so surprised when i saw the room! I had never stayed in
a two bedroom room, and i didnt expect it to be that
big! Thye minute we walked in my sister blurted out,
"that's a big room!" It really was! My parents
got the main bedroom with the hot tub and king bed, and
my aunt and uncle, and cousin got the two queen bed room.
Of course, me and Dsis got the stinkin pullout couch!
I was getting really sick of that!!. Then after a quick look
around, and my dad took a million pictrures of EVERY inch
of the room, we decided to head to the bus stop and go straight
to the MK. Of course we would take our family members to the
park with Cinderella's Castle...Dcousin would love that!



-coming up next..."where's Minnie?"

 

[MickeyLuvrLauren]

Once we got to MK we went over to
the Starlight Cafe in Tommorwland, and
had some late launch there. Then, we headed
to Fantasyland. We were going to all
go to Mickey's Philharmagic, but Dcousin was
too afraid of the piano flying out at her. So,
my mom, and sister went to Small World with her,
and me, my dad, and aunt and uncle went to the
show. It was awesome as always!
Then, we went to wait for the other group at
Small Worls where we seemed to have to wait for
them forever!!

Next, we walked to Liberty Square, where we took
a seat for the parade. I was so excited because I hadnt seen
this one yet! The parade was great! Although, I swear, one
of the girl dancers looked EXACTLY like a man! Weird right!

Then, by the end of the day, we hopped
on the monorail to get to our dinner reservations
at Chef Mickeys. We had never been there, so we
were wondering what it would be like.

There was a HUGE line when we got
there, but we finally got seated. But first we
had to get that picture taken. It came out AWFUL!!
Our hair was all frizzy, and we just looked really bad!

I actually thought the food there was really
good. And the mickey domes were so cute!
All the characters came, except for one. Where
was Minnie? We kept asking the waitress, but she said
she would be on her way. She was NEVER on her way!
And Dcousin was getting really restless and had been
waiting the whole time to see Minnie!! Then, the waitress
came by again, and said Minnie had had "too much cheese,"
and was taking a short break, and would soon be out.
Ooookkkk.... Then, Dcousin had to go to the
bathroom, so her and Daunt left to find the restrooms.
Of course, the second they leave, who should come out but
Minnie Mouse. We told her to come back in a few minutes.
Once Dcoussin finally got back she got to see
Minnie, and was o so happy!

Later, after a great meal, we headed back to
Saratoga, and went swimming in the pool around
9:00. Dcousin had a great time in the sprinkler stuff
in our little pool, and it was alot of fun! Then, my mom,
uncle, and little cousin decided to head up to the cs
place, to get every1 some snacks while the other folks
headed back to the room. While we were there, me and
Dcousin drew some pictures. When she went to hang hers
on the wall, another little girl was hanging hers. I think
the girl had drawn Minnie, but it wasnt that great.
All I know is that Dcousin turns to me and unintentionally
says to me right infont of the girl, "O look Lauren, that
girl drew a monster!" It was soo funny! It actually looked
like one! Then, the girl turned and scowled
at my little cousin and stalked away! It was hilarious!

Next, we headed back to the room, and ate
our delicious snacks. Then, we all fell fast asleep,
after another great Disney!



-coming up next..."Where's the toddler!"

 

[MickeyLuvrLauren]

The next morning MY family woke up,
but the OTHER family slept WAAYY too late,
so safe to say we didnt make it to rope
drop. I had a feeling this was going
to be just the start of not making it to
rope drop...sadly i was right. Once we made
it there we went straight to the Land
Pavillion, and went to Soarin again. It was
SO cool, because while waiting in line, we
got to play this team game, where a whhole
section had to fly the eagle through the obstacles.
Then we got on the ride, and Dcousin LOVED
it! While we were on our way to the Imagination building,
there was a HUGE downpour. People were running everywhere,
trying to get inside of the paviliion. My aunt was going crazy!
We were all trying to get in, while she was screeching,
"Where's the toddler!!" It was actually pretty
funny.... Then we all got in the huge line of figment.
It was SOOO cold in there, that we actually put on our
raincoats even though it stopped raining! We enjoyed
that ride too, and then headed to the
countries.



-coming up next....henna tattoos and unhappiness

 

[MickeyLuvrLauren]

Ok im going to try to do a good job on my spelling, because ive had CERTAIN PEOPLE(you should know who you are), say i had some spelling errors, so i shall try to do a better job.

ok, so when i last left off, we were heading to the countries.
Right when we eneterd Morrocco, there was yet ANOTHER huge
downpour. During this time the whole group seemed to get
split up. After a little while, we were like, "hey where's Dsis and
Ddad?" Then I had an awful feeling of where they were. I know
my sister all too well, and I knew she was getting a Henna Tattoo.
How did I know this you ask? Well, ever since my sister has been
very young she has always wanted a stinkin butterfly tattoo on her
back. Dont even ask...i have no clue why she wants it there.

So, when we walk over to the Henna Tatoo booth, who should
be there but Dsis and my dad. Of course by now, my mom is
wicked mad, and is yelling at my dad, about why he didnt confirm
this with her first. In the meantime, now Dsis is crying, because
my mom and dad are screaming, and she now understands that she cant
go in the pool for the rest of the day. Oooo drama drama....

Well during this whole fight, I notice Belle standing right near
us, so me and Dcousin go and say hello. She COMPLETELY ignores
me, only caring about the little one. That really bugged me to
tell you the truth. Guess she doesnt care about older princesses....

After we FINALLY got out of stinkin Morrocco we went
to Italy, and then to Japan. And boy did I think this drama
was over. Well I was very very wrong.. For some
reason I dont even know my dad got really mad in the
Japanese store, and just took off. No one could find
him, and then finally we found him. What a pain in the
butt!.
The funniest was when we were in Canada,
and my uncle was wearing this shirt that said
Beer Geek, and all the guys that worked there
kept saying how much they loved his shirt! How
funny! After a long day at Epcot we headed back
to the hotel to go in the pool, and then get ready for
our dinner reservations in Downtown Disney at Raglan
Road.



-Coming up Next....a red light, and green
light slide, how cool!!

 

[MickeyLuvrLauren]

Ok, when I last left off, we were
going back to the SSR. Once we got
there, we decided to go to the big
pool. It was sooo cool!!
The slide was huge, and went under a
tunnel. And get this. The slide had a red
light on when someones on the slide, AND
a green light for when you go. It was
sooo cool!!!. There was always a huge
line, no matter what time of the day. There were
tons of games, and it just so happened that day, there
was a pool party, and everyone was dancing. COOL!!

After a little while, we got dressed nicely for
Raglan Road. We had never been there before. All
the ladies(and girls...a.k.a. princesses), decided to
wear dresses. Then, we got on the boat at our resort,
and went straight to Downtown Disney. We were the only
ones on the bus...kinda awkward.

Once we got to Raglan Road, we tried on the funny
hats in the gift shop, then we were seated. The restaurant
was really nice, and the food was geat! Three thumbs up!
Then, we took a look around the whole rest of Downtown Disney.

The World Of Disney store was waaaay too overwhelming
for me, but of course i had to buy a stuffed animal there.
It's just tradition. O! i forgot to tell you something. When we
were in Epcot Dcousin wanted a stuffed animal so bad she
got the first thing she saw. A German Mickey Mouse. That
wouldnt be my first pick...but ooo well. My mom kept telling
her that Mickey had a leaderhosen, Dcousin kept trying to
say that word. It was sooo funny!

Ok, now back to the story. By the time we were
leaving to the boat it was pretty late, and we could
see Wishes Fireworks from the dock. I had said we should
take the buses back, but no one listened to me, and said it
would take too long. Soo we went to the boat. Ya guess
we should have listened to me. Because we waited FOREVER
for a boat. And then when it did come only have of us could
fit, and the other half had to wait another half hour. So, by
the time we got back to the room it was really late, and we
fell fast asleep, after another fun-filled day at Disney.



-coming up next...soaked on Kali

 

[MickeyLuvrLauren]

The next morning we decided to go
to Ak, but unfortunately didnt make it to
rope drop yet again. Once we got
there we headed straight to EE, and went on
it twice. On the second time we were on it, at
the part where you go straight down,but first
the yeti projection comes out, roars and pulls
up the track, and we didnt go down...we just
sat there...and sat there...aaand sat there.
I was wicked freaked out, and then FINALLY we
went straight down, and for the rest of the ride
i felt very uneasy.

Next, we headed to Kali River Rapids,
and when we go down the big drop my mom
and aunt got absolutey SOAKED through the
underwear! It was so funny, because my
aunt had never been on that ride, and hadnt
been expecting that! Then we decided
to get a little snack.

While we all got ice creams and drinks,
all my Dsis wanted was a stinkin pretzel,
so my parents, who were already fighting,
headed out to find a pretzel stand. They
never came back! So, the lady at the DVC
stand we were under said she would help
us keep an eye out for them. I told her,
"They were short, and are probably
screaming at eachother." The lady got
a kick out of that!

They finally came back with Dsis's
pretzel, and of course were screaming
at eachother as if they were a mile away
and we could still hear them! Then, we
were on our way to the Kilimanjaro
Sfari, which Dcousin really enjoyed!!



-coming up next....Dcousin finally goes down
the slide!"

 

[MickeyLuvrLauren]

Afte going on the safari, almost everyone
wanted to go back to the hotel for an afternoon
swim. But i wasnt going ANYWHERE without going
on Bug's Life. So everyone left to SSR, except for
my dad, uncle, and I. Then right when we got in
line for it, there was a huge downpour. Thank
god we were under the tree! After the
ride, which was so cute! I love that show! We
went to Pizzafari for some lunch, and of course
I got the Ceaser Salad again!

Then, we went back to SSR to join the
rest of the group. They were all at the big
pool so we headed there. And guess what??
Dcousin went down the slide! Not the big
one, the little baby one. But still she went
down the slide, which was a big step for my
wimpy cousin!

After a little while, we headed to
Epcot for dinner at Le Cellliers. I love
that place! It has the most delicious
Filet Mignon! We had
great service, and it was really cool
cuz my aunts realtives, and my waiter
both come from the same area so they
talked alot!

That night we werent
planning on going on Fantasmic,
and it was our last oppurtunity, and
I would not miss that show for the
world! So, my mom, aunt and sister
& cousin were too TIRED, to
come so again it was me, my uncle
and dad. When i was texting her
while we were waiting for the show
to start, my dad told me to play a
trick, and this is what i did. I texted
her that Kate Gosselin(she LOVES
jon and kate plus 8), and the 8 kids
were here. Then my aunt texted me(it
was her phone) saying that Dsis was crying,
and now she wanted to come. I told her i
was tricking her, but blamed it on my dad.

The show was fantastic!! As always!!
Then, we got on the bus with the huge crowd,
and then when we got back to SSR, we fell fast
asleep, tired after a long day.


-coming up next....the Ohanu!! And yucky food
