Lesson learned. Need more days in Disney!!! Aug 2010 (NEW 1/20-COMPLETE)

[YukiPhnx]

I also would like to eat at T-Rex once in my life even though I'm sure I'd be kind of scared! I do not like being close to moving creatures that are that large! However, it'd be a fun experience, I'm sure. Plus, any time I see their waffle fries in pics, I start drooling! Haha, I do love how you weren't stumped by Andrew's T-Rex question!

I know what you mean about large moving creatures! I think the Rainforest Cafe is cool, but their giant moving butterfly scares the bejeezus out of me. I hear their Ice Age room is very cool though.

Oh wow! It was so fun reading about your DIS meet. That seems like it'd work out a lot better than meeting in WDW. I tried meeting up with people this past trip, but it didn't really work. When you're with family or a group of people, it's difficult trying to alter plans especially if it's crowded and you have to get from one place to the other.

Yeah, it's not as easy meeting up in WDW cause everyone has all that other stuff planned and new developments sometimes get in the way. I'm planning a trip to NY this summer. NYC dismeet, perhaps?

Ooo, I love the Hidden Mickey that you found in the ToT library!

This one is definitely one of my favourites. Andrew is actually the one that pointed it out to me! I swear, he's more into this stuff than I am!

Howard and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Fantasmic!!! It's our favorite nighttime show even though we also really enjoyed IllumiNations and Wishes. Actually the castle projection show before Wishes is also VERY VERY VERY good too! That's for this year, I believe, for the 2011 theme. Disney knows how to do these things right!

Ooooh, the castle projections! I can't wait to hear about that in your TR! I have no idea what it could look like! Yeah, Andrew and I really loved Fantasmic too. Wishes is pretty, but I think Fantasmic is the better show.

We got to MK pretty early too, but we purposely stayed back a little because I really wanted to watch the opening show! I had never seen it before. Well, my mom says I've seen it as a kid, but I don't remember it. It was worth getting there early! I think even if we get there early in the future, I'm still going to want to hang back to have a good view of the show.

I think I'll do that next time. I don't think being a dozen more people behind would affect our plans that much. I still haven't fully seen the show!

When they take the pics on Buzz Lightyear, I get kind of upset because they lock your car in place. I want to be able to move to have that opportunity to get last minute shots!!! Haha. I get way too serious about this game.

I think I knew they were going to take a picture BECAUSE the vehicle stopped, thus nabbing my awesome ride photo. But that aside, I can get as serious as I'd like with this ride, but I'll never be that good.

Howard pointed out the dueling paintings to me last year! I pointed it out to my cousin this year. I can't believe I had never noticed it before. I was always looking down at the table to look at the 3 plates all the way to the left that make a Hidden Mickey!

We went on the Haunted Mansion I think 3 times...so I had plenty of time to look at something new everytime we went through the dining room. I know what you mean about the plates though. It's always the first thing I make sure to see, haha.

WHOA, your eyes closed with the multi-eyes looks so cool!!!

Haha, thanks!

Boo, I hate to see that you had an unpleasant experience that weekend!

Yeah, it definitely sucked.

Yum to the pineapple float! Wow, I'm surprised you were able to eat the turkey leg in Frontierland! Last week, the birds were going crazy and swooping down so low! It was so frightening!

Oh wow, really? Man...those birds are GUTSY! Andrew fed a lot of ducks on our trip...

 

[YukiPhnx]

That's cool that a lot of people asked you for pictures!

I love the attention, can you tell?

Wow, Andrew really has an eye for photography. (I'm thinking of those pictures from the Jungle Cruise queue.)

I'll be sure to let him know you said that

You're too funny putting eye drops in your "new" eyes.

It's definitely one of my funnier moments.

Yuki! OMG I am so sorry about what happened with that girl. That is terrible, I can't even believe it. Some people are just sick. Doesn't this girl know you have an army of friends on the DIS who will kick her booty? God. All jokes aside though, I'm really glad you are OK.

Apparently she DOESN'T know of my army of Dis friends or she wouldn't have tried! Thanks for worrying

Onto your updates.. omg. You looked AMAZING as a pirate. Seriously, you rock, I love it.

Thanks! I should dress up as a pirate more. I've been meaning to make an Elizabeth Swan as pirate queen costume.

That was really nice of you to give your sword to that little boy.

I love making kids happy

AHHHH. I can't put into words how jealous I am of those floats and turkey leg right now. I am on a strict diet and oh maaaaaaaan why am I not at Disney!!! also it's so funny to see you in that make-up eating the turkey leg. I love those videos! Thanks for posting them, seeing that totally transported me to Frontierland.

Yeah, I love watching those videos too. Man.....I really want a root beer float and turkey leg too. You'll be at Disney soon! Haha, I'm pretty sure most people were watching me eat. Good thing I'm not self-conscious about stuff like that!

 

[YukiPhnx]

Hey everybody. I'm feeling so sick. I think I have a cold....it's taking so long to get over it. I've been trying to put up a new update every Thursday, but I don't think I can do it this week. Hope everybody has a great week and I'll see you guys when I'm healthy again!

Boy...there is going to be so much to catch up on.

On a somewhat related note, while in the canned coup aisle stocking up on "sick foods", I bought a can of cheddar cheese soup!!!! I'll report back after I try it.

 

[debsters41]

Hello! I just found your trip report from your answers to disneat's PTR. I think you are doing a wonderful job and I hope you feel better soon! Looking forward to reading more!

 

[Kellybelly777]

Great update! I loved the video of you eating the turkey leg.

I spent some time watching your videos. May I just say: the one with Andrew filming the gecko. I think I wathed that about twenty times while laughing hysterically. (Yes, like accidentally you can see I still havn't learned to spell in my time off )

Aww, Yuki! I hope you are feeling better darling! I have a bit of a cold myself that I just can't kick. Ugh.

Omg, I found some Cheddar Cheese Soup too! I have to post about it on my TR because it is soooo good!

Not a good start to you year Get better quickly. Get lots of rest - watch some good Disney movies - we'll be here waiting.

Kelly!!! Hahaha, I LOVE that video too! Because of your comment, I went through my videos and rewatched them all. It's SOO funny. He's so silly. I think I should post up the videos that were taken during my past posts. I almost forgot about them there.

Aww, Yuki! I hope you are feeling better darling! I have a bit of a cold myself that I just can't kick. Ugh.

Oooh, what a coinkidink! I hate being sick. Being sick is just so icky. I'm much better now, but can't shake my cough .

Not a good start to you year Get better quickly. Get lots of rest - watch some good Disney movies - we'll be here waiting.

I actually watched my Disney pre-planning DVDs. The free ones you can order from the website. I love those!

Hope you're feeling better! I found yummy pretzel bread rolls in Whole Foods the other week, now if only I had a nice bowl of cheddar cheese soup to go with it!

Oh noez! We can't have sick Dis'ers! I perscribe a healthy dose of Dole Whips, Cheddar Cheese Soup with Pretzel Breadsticks, and a dash of Pixie Dust!

Oh. My. Gahd. You have now convinced me to do the Pirate's League, if only to meet Captain Jack Sparrow. You don't understand, I would do anything it took (even paying the $30 to have glitter makeup put on me as the Empress package, because I can't pull off the other looks like you can) to meet Captain Jack. He is my absolute hero and I'm counting the days down to when "PotC: On Stranger Tides" comes out.

I'm at work right now so I can't leave as long of a comment as I'd like to...but I'll be waiting patiently for your next update. I hope you feel better in the meantime!

Ok, now I have to visit Whole Foods. That sounds really good!!! I'm feeling much better now

Oh my gosh, wait until you hear about my experience with meeting him. It's going to make you want to make that appt with Pirate's League NOW. I almost melted. *fans myself*

I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THE MOVIE COMING OUT!!!! I'm going to be at the first showing on opening day and it's going to be AWESOME.

 

[englishrose47]

Hi Yuki!!!!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I actually watched my Disney pre-planning DVDs. The free ones you can order from the website. I love those!

I love those! They are always good for a Disney fix!

 

[MarieTheCat24]

So I've gotten so behind on your TR but I think I'm all caught up now. FINALLY.

First of all, your Pirate makeup is AWESOME. The Pirate's League is AWESOME. YOU'RE AWESOME. But seriously, they give you a pirate name? And there's a secret room? I HAVE TO DO IT. Except I'd probably wind up going with the Empress makeup. I don't think I could pull off a beard. LOL.

Ah, the Jungle Cruise. I have secret dreams of becoming a Jungle Cruise skipper. I've got great comedic timing and I'm pretty much the queen of dry humor, so I think I'd be good at it.

How sweet of you to give your sword away to a deserving youngster!

Those floats look delicious. I want one right now! And a turkey leg. Well, I always want a turkey leg. Every morning I wake up and I'm just like, I could really go for a turkey leg right now. Siiiiiiiiigh.

 

[YukiPhnx]

Hi Yuki!!!!

Hi Rosie!

I love those! They are always good for a Disney fix!

I'm waiting for the 2011 one to arrive any day now!

Anyone can pull off a beard! I bet you would make an AWESOME pirate!!

Oh, you would be the best skipper. I would ride your cruise over and over again. For some reason, that sounds kind of dirty...

I love making kids smile! It was also nice not to carry the sword around. It was about the size of my arm!

Mmmmm, I totally know what you mean about those turkey legs. And the floats!!!! Andrew LOVED his pineapple float. Said they tasted like pudding.

 

[chunkymonkey]

Al caught up now! I am so sorry to hear that you were assaulted by someone at your school! That's just sooo wrong and I hope you were able get that person the appropriate punishment! That just makes me so mad for you!

Those frozen drinks look great! I'd love to try that root beer and choc soft serve drink! Oh and that pineapple float...was the ice cream pineapple-like or was it vanilla, because if it was pineapple, then it would just be dole-whip! they have the same float at the Aloha Isle!

Can't believe that a week from now I'll be back in FL and possibly sipping my own dole whip float!

I think the pineapple float was like a dole whip float, but made with dairy. The ice cream was yellow and so was the drink. It ended up tasting like those Asian pudding cups.

I'm so jealous that you'll be having a dole whip in less than a week! It'll be so nice to getaway with all the girls!

 

[YukiPhnx]

Since you guys enjoyed the videos I put up so much, I thought I would put up the videos from parts of the trip I've already reported on! I was actually pretty surprised by how many videos Andrew took!

So, while I work on the THREE PAPERS due these two weeks, enjoy these videos!

On the first monorail ride to the rest of MCO! I don't know why people call it the "fake" monorail. It's still a REAL monorail. It's just not Disney.


I had a hard time fitting the whole name in my picture, so Andrew just took a video of it. I think I still hadn't figured out how to post videos yet...thus my comments in the video


It's the sign! Again, I had a hard time taking a good picture of it, so he just took a video.


We were taking a break at The Seas and just sat there, watching the dolphins.


More dolphin videos! Andrew had never seen dolphins in real life before this trip.


I'm such a little kid when I'm at an aquarium. I'm not much of a fish lover, but I'm just FASCINATED.

Yes, that's my voice you hear.

This video is just for Lia. Our frogfish friend!!!


A small vid of the awesome Jammitors!


The Japan pavilion! You can hear the drum players.


We were enthralled by the Chinese performers. Just amazing.


My favourite entrance to DTD's World of Disney!


Some videos of Fantasmic.






I love the stretching room in the Haunted Mansion.


And we're all caught up! If only I had the cables to digitize the videos on my video camera....All the above were taken by Andrew's digital camera.

Chapter 6. Day 2 pt.1- Let the step-by-step touring BEGIN!

I'm famous!!

I saw your trip report linked to your sig, and saw you were there the same time my family was. Sure enough, I'm the guy standing all the way to the right in the frame, in a green shirt, with my back turned to you and wearing the dark blue backpack. I don't normally slouch that much, I was busy talking to my 8yo son. I'm only up to page 20 or so, I'll catch up on the rest later, and look for more pictures of myself

This is a great TR, one of the best ever.
