It's a Jolly Holiday with LL. *FINISHED* Final Update on pg. 58.

Great shoes! I tried ordering a couple of cutesy semi-sneakers for our trip, but none of them cut it. I'm not one to wear sneakers except for at work, but it is necessary to wear them at the world to avoid tired, hurting feet. I'm also jealous to see that you have a bonafide dis meet planned! I'm hoping to run into a couple of dis'ers myself. It's my personal mission for this trip. Can't wait to hear about the rest of your plans!

I agree, sneakers are the way to go! I will be sporting LGMH's so say hello if you spot me.

I feel like I need theme music for this week, I think it would be even more exciting if I did.

Sunday August 31st:

Wake Up Call @ 6:15AM
This is going to torment poor DH but he has been warned. He is not an early riser...at all. My goal is to get on the first bus from Pop to Magic Kingdom.

Crystal Palace @ 8:20AM - 1 TS Each
The CM told me when I booked this early morning ADR to arrive at TTC 45 minutes early and to make sure I have my confirmation number. Check and Check. I am so excited for this reservation, mainly for the nearly empty Castle pictures!

Enjoy Magic Kingdom until Lunch/Early PM
I am so excited for Magic Kingdom. I have made it so we are spending the most time at Magic Kingdom. You can never get enough Magic Kingdom in my opinion. Some may say it's wrong not to go to Magic Kingdom first but I like to see Magic Kingdom with my eyes bright eyed and bushy tailed after a peaceful night of sleep. I can't wait for my moment of magic with DH, our first trip to WDW together.

Lunch - 1 CS Each
This lunch will probably be at MK but maybe Pop. Who knows. I am leaning towards Casey's for lunch. Yum Yum.

Swim/Nap Midday Break @ Pop
I think our midday breaks are going to be key to DH and I surviving this week without becoming uber crankpots and arguing.

Wilderness Lodge Photo Session @ 6:30PM
I have been coveting this photo session ever since I heard of they existed. Thank you DISboards. We are pre-purchasing the photo CD, so the session will only be $25. The nice CM on the phone, suggested wearing white when I asked for color combinations. I think that is valid, though I am going to put a spin on it. DH is going to wear a green. That's almost the color of his shirt, just a bit darker with less yellow. I am going to wear white. I think the green and white will be a nice combo. I also have a nice tank that I will underneath my polo that is a light green color so the lace of that will show, so it will be aesthetically pleasing. At least to my eyes. Of course I will be wearing my Mickey earrings as well. I haven't seen pictures of the WL photo session yet, as they have just started. I am dying for someone to post them. I have faith though. I have seen pictures for GF, Poly & SSR and they are all beautiful.

Magic Kingdom Evening
Tonight is EMH's. Which means according to TourGuide Mike they are open until 3AM. Does anyone else find this ridiculous? I kinda do. I still don't believe 100% so we'll see. The plan is to enjoy Magic Kingdom, I know it will be crowded but I am all for people watching and just enjoying the evening atmosphere.

Liberty Tree Tavern @ 9:20PM - OOP
I am so excited about LTT. I am sad that they are getting rid of the characters but very happy that I will be able to see Minnie in Colonial Costume. For some reason this excites me beyond words. I think it's my love of history. We are paying OOP for this meal. It's worth the splurge in my opinion.

Spectromagic @ 11PM
The CM assured me on the phone that we would have no problem making Spectro at 11PM. I am going to hold her to that. I think it will be fine as well. TourGuide Mike tells me there are so good viewing spots right near LTT so that's the plan. I am so excited for this, my gorillapod, camera and I will be photo bliss. After Spectro, I am not sure if we will hit up more roads or if we will head back to Pop. I am going to leave it up in the air for now. I do know that a Photopass Picture in front Cinderella's Castle all lit up is a must do.

I made some more disney related purchases yesterday. I think I am officially done with PreTrip Purchases.

Another Artistic Photo.

More bandaids, I have a feeling I am going to need them for my heels. The little black bag is for my camera batteries and memory cards. Cute pink nail polish for my toesies. It's called Jackpot. Jackpot = LL winning a night in the castle. It's my dream squad juju. Orbit gum for the plane. Dark Shirt Transfers for the rest of my shirts I need to make. A 4GB flash drive for vacation pictures when I come home. Rolaids for the inevitable Free Dining heartburn that will occur. The book is for the plane and poolside reading, something that doesn't take a whole lot of concentration. The pink container by the nail polish remover are new ear phones for my ipod, also for plane and poolside use. I have been working on an all Disney song list as well. Lastly, nail polish remover, mainly because I have run out and must neutralize any bad nail polish juju that remains on my toesies to make room for dream squad juju.

That's it for today's installment. By my calculations at this exact moment in four weeks time, I will be eating and socializing with the Liberty Tree Tavern Characters.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Alas, no Minnie in colonial costume for me. Why, you ask? Because my DH said no turkey dinner in June.

Take pics for me!!!

Dream Squad Juju!!! That's the funniest thing I have read all day. BTW, when it works, I am totally borrowing it from you!

I will take many pictures for you. I will also gladly share my Dream Squad Juju with you if it works. BTW, I think you should give me your phone number so if I do win a night in the Castle Suite you can drive down. You have sick days, right?

You better believe it! I would totally be down there in seven hours!

 

[TarzansKat]

Um, dost mine ears deceiving me?

You are leaning toward lunch at Casey's?

LEANING????

Girl, get thyself to Casey's for lunch!!!!

I love these plans. So much fun, so romantic. Early MK, breakfast with characters, the outfits for the photo shoot sound awesome, dinner with characters, and Spectro.

:::sigh:::

Personally, I think it's just about a perfect day but then again I am partial.

I am absolutely going to Casey's during this trip but I have many chances, don't fret my pet! I will be eating at Casey's!

I've never even thought about eating at Casey's -- I guess I should from the way TK is talking?

It's very good from what I remember! It's been a few years but I plan to partake in the hot dog heaven.

Now that's a past time I haven't done in a few weeks, another thing for me to investigate at work tomorrow!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Your plans sound perfect. Other than the 6am start -- have to agree with hubby on that one! I like the white/green color combo -- that will look really pretty in your photos! Glad you are able to get to LTT before the change. Love the concept of dream squad juju-- I hope it works!!

I'm with you on the 3am EMH. I'm not sure if anyone actually sticks it out that late? Although it would be pretty cool to have the park practically to yourself.

4 weeks from this moment Mickey, Goofy, Stitch or one of their friends is calling you to tell you it's time to get up! I told you I liked this game!

 

[TarzansKat]

Blasphemy! Blasphemy I say!

It's the best hot dog, CP, and it's because it's yummy and you get to eat it on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom and dip your fries in cheese sauce. I mean what's more decadent really?

Don't say Victoria and Albert's.

Sunday August 31st:

Wake Up Call @ 6:15AM We always get up early in Disney


Enjoy Magic Kingdom until Lunch/Early PM
I am so excited for Magic Kingdom. I have made it so we are spending the most time at Magic Kingdom. You can never get enough Magic Kingdom in my opinion.

I can't wait for my moment of magic with DH, our first trip to WDW together.
I go to MK whenever day it makes the most sense

Swim/Nap Midday Break @ Pop
I think our midday breaks are going to be key to DH and I surviving this week without becoming uber crankpots and arguing.
This is why I'm shopping by myself for a half day in the middle of the trip...we will need a break from each other.

Wilderness Lodge Photo Session @ 6:30PM[/B] I have seen pictures for GF, Poly & SSR and they are all beautiful.
Where have you seen those pictures? Can you head me in the right direction? I might want to do this with Liam.

Magic Kingdom Evening[/B]

I wouldn't be surprised if it changes to 1am. Does TGM call this a red night?

Liberty Tree Tavern @ 9:20PM - OOP I'd be asleep in my soup at a 9pm dinner!

Spectromagic @ 11PM
The CM assured me on the phone that we would have no problem making Spectro at 11PM. I would bet that you are out of no later then 10:30pm

Deluxe Dinning = Deluxe Rolaids!

Great Plans!

Dream Squad Juju!!! That's the funniest thing I have read all day. BTW, when it works, I am totally borrowing it from you!

CP---you better go in October then because Years of a Million Dreams ends in 2008

I'm glad you like this game, I am really enjoying it too. For instance at this very moment in four weeks, I will be eating pancakes with Pooh!
I am VERY confused by the EMH's. It just doesn't seem right. Oh well.
I am crossing my fingers that my dream squad juju works, just think of the Trip Report titles I could come up with!

Blasphemy! Blasphemy I say!

Mmmmm....cheese sauce.

Heidi --- Here is the link to the photo session thread. There are a variety of photos on there. I think if you are already pre-purchasing the photo cd that paying $25 for this session is worth it.

I have a feeling DH won't be joining me on all the rides so that will give us some breather room. God help him if he forgets to order my birthday cake!

We downgraded to the free dining instead of deluxe but am still anticipating the need of Rolaids.

 

[Lady Lallie]

Oh and Sunday August 31st is a red day with TourGuide Mike. I think we are up for it though. It's the only time I can guarentee that we will see Spectromagic. TGM does say it will thin out the later it gets so I hopeful the 11PM Spectro won't be as crowded. On his site it does say MK is open until 3AM, so maybe we can try to hit some rides so we don't get stuck in the stampede leaving the park.

Are you staying at Pop at this point in the trip?
