friday 23rd september

We got up very early this morning as we had an ADR at CRT for 9.30. it was early opening at the magic kingdom as well so we arrived early and waited at the entrance for the rope-drop.
Dd and ds were then chosen (among others) to sprinkle puxie dust into the air and officially open the magic kingdom. :Pinkbounc

We had decided to head for fantasyland 1st because I wanted to do IASW since it was closed last time :blush:
We were just heading past tinks treasures tho when I remembered to go in and ask if she was awake………she wasn’t !! so dd duly woke her up

A very huffy American lady came in half way through tho berating the CM because she had called ahead to let her daughter do it, the daughter didn’t seem that bothered but mom made such as fuss she was eventually in tears
We offered to share the wand with her but that wasn’t good enough :confused3
After that was done we rode
IASAW, snow white,dumbo,winnie the pooh and the carrousel before heading for CRT.
We have been to crt before and enjoyed it and this time was no exception

The total cost would have been $82.57 we used 4 ts credits

After breakfast we got dd changed and proceded to frontierland, this is where I had a bit of a shock…my ds who previously hated big rides declared he wanted to ride SM and BTM !! he then decided these were his fave rides (along with one other ride at a different park that I will reveal later)
The weather was really hot and we were still very tired so we went back to pop at about 4pm
We ate cs at pop that night $46.00 and 4 cs credits and then went for a wonder around downtown Disney, the kids brought a toy mobile phone each and me and dh both got a keyring ($ 19.17 ! last of the big spenders :rotfl: )
We were in bed for 10pm.

Animal kingdom tomorrow……… :)
 
ok !! any ideas on why the pics won't show up :badpc: :badpc: :badpc:

my brain is on a go slow at the moment :confused3
 
Great start, Nat, maybe that 'huffy' American lady is also a disser! :rotfl:
 

DD age 14 has just said "It's not fair, how come she can wake Tink up but not me ???" What is she like ?? Shame about the huffy woman who made a scene, she really showed herself up, and it was kind of you to offer the wand (I know what I would've liked to do with the wand !!) What a lovely day, it must've been great for the kids to sprinkle the Pixie Dust at the rope drop too.

Great photos too Nat and I look forward to the next installment.

She is probably just lacking a bit in the disney brain dept if you know what I mean :crazy:

I take it you mean the huffy woman, and not Natalie :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
 
What a lucky girl to wake up Tink....I want to do it :)

PM sent about piccies :)
 
What a great start to the holiday Natalie!!!

wish i could see the photos! :rolleyes:

Excuse my ignorance but what happens when you wake up Tink?!

I so want to do CRT next time
 
Really enjoyed reading your report ~ Thanx for posting.

Lovely piccies ~ Your dd looks lovely with her dress on.
 
What a loely day - your DD looks like a little angel. Getting to sprinkle fairy dust AND wake up tink. How lucky can one girl get? :teeth:
 
Great report Nat :) I'm not seeing the photos but think that imagestation is down just now :rolleyes:

By the way what are the ts and cs credits you refer too :)

Reid
 
Great report. I too was wondering about the cs and ts credits?

My DD12 also thought it was unfair as she wants to open the park and wake up tink. We probably will never do it as DH always wants to run off to go on one of the "big rides".

sorry ! we did the disney dining plan so ts is a table service meal and cs is counter service
thanks for all your lovely comments, trip reporting is VERY nerve-racking.
i keep expecting to get marks out of 10 :rotfl:
 
Lovely report and photos Natalie, thanks. :)
