hello again from the best place on earth!

so ill start by saying today was better than yesterday. got up at 7 and showered, went to breakfast at ohana and it was a good breakfast. the juice they searve there is so good. its a mixture of orange, passion fruit and guava juice. i love the mickey waffles and the suasage was really good too. we met and took pictures with lilo, stitch, aloha mickey and pluto. ive never been one to take pics with characters but i am all about it this trip, lol. from breakfast we went to m.k. we hit the jungle cruise, haunted mansion, its a small world, and philharmagic wilth NO lines. this was between 10 and 11:15ish. from there we went to toon town for more character meets... as i said before i am all into them this trip. met mickey for the 3rd time in 2 days. hes gonna think im stalking him lol. then we went and met the princesses in the hall of fame thingy?? that my friends was amazing. i was speechless. they were beautiful. sleeping beauty was talking to this little girl sooooooo sweet, i teared up a lil. that my friends is the true magic of disney. the wait on the princess was about 20 minutes. met belle, cinderella and sleeping beauty. also met rifiki. got pics of all of the. will post soon.

from there we came back to p.o.r. and ate lunch, swam and took a nap. woke up n headed off to hollywood studios. everytime i have ever been to h.s. it has been horribly packed and the waits were ridiculous. not today. 20 minutes for everything. we were there from 6 to 10. walked on star tours, 20 mins for tower of terror, 30 minutes for toy story mania and 15 minutes for tower of terror. we ate at the prime time diner, no resi sat at the bar and ate and were out in 30 minutes. rode rockin rollercoaster in about 20 minutes. we took the bus back and i am sipping coffee in my bed :~)

these have been by far the most pleasant 2 days i have ever been in disney!

[wvdislover]

Sounds awesome! Don't you just LOVE Disney magic?!?

 

[yeaitspootie]

good to hear, skip.

Is there any way you could get some info from any CM as to whether or not the trend of low crowds is expected to continue til Memorial day or not? I know they don't know for sure, but sometimes CMs know some secrets.

We are a big character hunting family! Let us know if you see any "rare" characters (and if it is not asking too much try to remember where you see them if you do)....

hello again my friends!

heres a mid day report. first of all i have blisters on my foot, but im not letting that stop me. i think ashley has a stress fracture as well. but we were up at 7 am, went to boma in AKL and it was really wonderful. from there we went to animal kingdom. animal kingdom ALWAYS feels so much more packed. so we went to its tuff to be a bug. no line, walked in. kali river rapids 20 minutes, met brandon from the boards n had some special fast passes... right to the front! walked over to dinosour, 1o minutes tops. went over to epcot and went to le cellier, it was really good, thanks again brandon!!! walked around the countries (actually i had to get a wheel chair for ash she was in to much pain) walked on spaceship earth at 5. now i am back in the room relaxing for a minute and were probably gonna head to the magic kingdom in a bit.

 

[DaveStroem]

So sorry to here about Ashley. I hope it is not a fracture and that her pain will subside. Try to have fun anyways.

 

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

WOW sounds like an AWESOME day! you sure picked a great week to go! I hope Ashley is feeling better soon. And hopefully you have moleskin for your blisters! Have fun tonight, looking forward to more updates!

 

[wvdislover]

Hey, hope you guys feel better. Tell Ashley to take care of that possible stress fracture...you don't want that to get worse. Hoping that tomorrow's a better day

another great night, walked onto big thunder mountain and haunted mansion. watched wishes from the noodle station sitting down drinking some coffee. it was a great location to watch from but they didnt turn the lights out. my only complaint this whole trip is people whos kids scream, throw temper tantrums, cry and the people sit in the attraction and do absolutly nothing about it. i was in philharmagic and this child was crying and sceaming like someone was killing her because it was too intense for her and the mom played like it wasnt happening. that just really upsets me. if your child is scared pleasssseeeeee take them out!

anyway enough of that rant. got ash a wheelchair and were cruising around like we r in heaven. she has a bad blister and somesort of a thing happening with her foot and i have a blister.

we took pics with snow white today, that was awesome. this is just a good relaxing trip. were not trying to do every ride everyday. were just trying to soak disneys lil nuances in. the landscaping, food, really paying attention on rides looking for hidden mickeys. i seen one today in le cellier. it was very clever.

bomas breakfast was super yummy and the service was great. le cellier was very laid back and a very nice place. caesar salad was a lil bland, the 3 onion soup was really really good!!!

we ate at cosmic rays for dinner, it was ummmmmm cosmic rays lol. fast food. m.k. as a whole was pretty empty tonight. spectromagic crowd was super thin.

night night guys. i will write again tomorrow!!

blistered skip and hop-a-long ashes lol

ohhhhhh p.s. ashes got sunburnt really bad too hahahha poor lil thing
