Lots of Completed Trip Reports....Nov 2009 - April 2014

[tksbaskets]

Almost done??? Say it isn't so So glad that you had a great time at the fireworks. I often find myself at Disney with a touching tear or two at random times.

My DSs usually look at me, do one of these and say 'gee you're a sap'. They say it with the utmost affection

Nice light picture

My boys get a little embarrassed when I get teary about stuff like that.

Thanks for the pic compliment.

Here we go...final installment coming up next.

 

[deejdigsdis]

We just finished up watching the incredible fireworks show. So glad we didn't say, "Mmm...let's go do something else and catch it next time..." Forgot to tack this picture on the end of the previous update:

After the fireworks we had to think about what few rides we wanted to end the trip with. Actually, there wasn't really any thinking involved. We just knew. First we walked on Haunted Mansion. Wish I could "Hurry baaaack....hurry baaaack...." but it's gonna be over a year.

We decided to catch the train and ride over to Tomorrowland to use our Space FPs. 10 min. wait. Chief had it all planned out as far as what he was going to be doing in the picture. He wouldn't tell me though. I had to wait until we saw the picture afterward. He was the guy with the tongue hanging out and his hands sticking up by his head - like moose ears or something. He wasn't going for the moose-look...it's just the best description I've got.

There was time left for 2 more rides. Of course POTC always has to be last, so that left BTMRR as the next ride. We headed over, FPs in hand. Then it happened. The dreaded silence of a ride not running. We didn't waste any time and headed over to POTC. Being so close to closing time, we figured BTMRR would be down the rest of the night. It was looking like we might be able to sail through POTC twice (time-wise), so I didn't quite savor the ride like I usually savor my last ride. I figured we'd be right back for another go-around. When we got off, we decided to rush over to BTMRR. Just to check. Indeed, it was running again! So we hopped on with no wait at all. The train was waiting for us. It was great to ride my favorite mountain ride once again, but somehow I was left with not having "closure" in regards to the way I like to close a trip to Disneyland. End with POTC. I wish I had savored it more, but I thought I'd be hopping right back on so I didn't. If that makes sense.

So. That is the end of the rides. It was now time to spend as much time on Main Street as possible, soaking in all that nighttime goodness as the park closes down. I always get a little snap-happy with the camera when I am about to walk away for the last time. I just want to capture everything. So, I leave you with my parting shots of Disneyland...

Enjoying a Mickey Truffle on The Front Porch. The only time I sat on The Front Porch this entire visit!

One last glance toward Main Street...

Goodbye Disneyland...

I guess it's time to hang up this ol' TR hat of mine. The current plan is to return sometime as a family in 2012, along with my older sister and her son, my younger sister, and my younger brother and his family. They have never been. (Well, the last time my bro was there was in 1996, but his wife and kids have never been.) Should be interesting with such a mix of people. I'd like my parents to go, but if my dad thought he was too old to go last October, I doubt he'll all of a sudden think he's young enough to go in a year and a half! Maybe the idea of seeing his grandchildren together in Disneyland will sway him. He will be reminded of when he started taking his own kids to Disneyland back in 1964, and he will be so overcome with nostalgia and memories that he will insist on going back and being a part of it all... Well, a girl can dream, can't she?

 

[tksbaskets]

Loved every minute of your trip report 2012 does seem like a long way away. I'd love to go with an extended family. My sibs pretty much think we are nuts for going to a Disney destination every year.

I do want to know where the toddler's head is in your first pic of this last installment (The guy with the greenish sweat shirt) LOL. What a TON of people at midnight.

Love your final picture....

Thanks again for joining me TK! It was nice to know that someone was following along with me.

I was also wondering about that guy in the first picture. I had to do a double-take. At first I wondered, "What kind of animal is that guy lugging around?"

I love those last 2 pictures. We were the only ones around besides a few CMs waiting at the exit. They seemed to understand our lingering and didn't rush us. I'm a little jealous...my SIL and family are there at this very moment.

It was fun! Do your kids read your trip reports? I know Donald and Grumpy both get a kick out of them. My big sister does too but she's a lurker and never signed up to be a DISer and post.

Jelous of your SIL....hope she's having a blast!

 

[Sherry E]

Well, I hate to see it all come to an end, deej...especially since it's going to be sooo long until your next trip (not another 13 years, thankfully)! I think that sometimes it's good to have a little bit of space in between trips so that it doesn't run the risk of getting stale or old hat. But you have a long way to go until the next visit! I almost feel as if DLR - well, DCA, anyway - will look entirely different the next time you are there. A whole new entrance. A whole new land. New rides. New crowds. New prices. It'll practically be like going to a completely new park.


Did your Snapfish/DLR calendar arrive yet? It should have gotten to you yesterday? I know at least 2 of us want to see how it came out!!

Chief likes to read them, but I make him wait until I am done. He hasn't started reading this one yet. I make him wait so as to avoid the "Mom, when are you going to write some more? Did you get a chance to post some more yet?" Stuff like that. I've been writing about our trip on our family blog and I'm only up to the afternoon of our first day. I'm much more thorough on my DIS trip reports because I know people around here are interested in lots of details and lots of pictures. (Even if most of them stay in lurk mode. ) Most of the friends/family that read our family blog don't have the "Disney gene" and just don't care as much about that other stuff, if that makes sense. The run-of-the-mill post stating "We went to Disneyland...here are a few pictures" would suffice for them, but Chief wants me to be more thorough on the family blog this time since he was there and wants to add in his perspective, and he likes to lounge on the couch and access the blog through the Wii and re-live the trip that way. That version gets the uncropped pictures. It makes me laugh that I'm more thorough for total strangers than I am for people who actually know me! They just don't get it the way we do. I hope my kids will still oblige me when they are Grumpy's and Donald's age -- and want to hang out with mom and dad at Disneyland. And would this be the sister that is around 10 months older than you? Or something like that. I remember you are closer in age than me and my sister at 15 1/2 months.

We just texted my SIL with all of our guesses as to what they were doing at that very moment, but we haven't heard back yet. I guessed a nighttime Jungle Cruise.

It always feels like I'm ending the trip all over again when the TR comes to an end. It feels like the next trip is sooooo far off. But when I think about my 13 year drought, 1 1/2 years sounds doable. I agree, though, about having a space between trips. There was only 3 months in between my last 2 trips. As much as I hate to say it, there was a bit of ... hmmm... I don't even know the word I'm looking for. The "I'M HERE" feeling wasn't as intense when we stepped into Disneyland. That's not to say we weren't thrilled to be back. Sigh. I would venture to say that you know what I mean without my trying to find the words to explain it.

Can't believe I forgot to mention the Calendar! Yes, I got it last night around 7pm. I had been listening for the UPS guy all day. I opened the door before he had a chance to cross the street to my house! Ready for my review??? Well, it's a bit mixed, oddly enough. If I had it to do over again, I would be less collage-y. Here's the thing... I LOVED the cover that had 1 picture. The quality exceeded my expectations. But...I wasn't as happy with the pages that I went overboard collage-y on. (If my sister was reading this she would say, "You really like to say 'collage-y' don't you?" ) The quality of the tiniest pictures isn't that great. I'm talking about the tiny tiny pictures. There is one of me and my husband on Space Mountain. Granted, it's a picture of a picture...but...it looks like I have a face minus eyes, nose and mouth! Overall though, I do love it. I would have definitely paid full-price for it, so Snapfish "mission accomplished" with me and I will be a repeat calendar customer. Also, call me crazy, but the calendar doesn't start until Nov. 2011. I wanted it to be sort of a countdown until our next trip, which hopefully will be in Oct. 2012. So I'll be looking at it a lot before it actually has a place on the wall in 8 months! I will definitely post pictures later this week. So stay tuned.

Oh, my husband just came in. My brother-in-law just launched on Screamin' and Mickey's Fun Wheel is up next.

 

[tksbaskets]

LOL - My calendar starts November 2011 too!

I'm sure Chief and the rest of your children will want to join you on your Disney adventures when they are old like my guys. Just last week while Donald and Grumpy were home for winter break I asked "Do you want me to try and get reservations for DisneyLand this Christmas vacation" They both said "Are you kidding me??? Of course we do!!" Warmed my DH and my heart

My fear is that they may marry some chick some day who doesn't love Disney.....hopefully they have better taste in women than that

 

[deejdigsdis]

Well, I hate to see it all come to an end, deej...especially since it's going to be sooo long until your next trip.

...Or will it??? My sister had to go and tempt me yet again. I got an email from her this afternoon, and I quote:

I plan on making another trip to Disneyland the end of April/beginning of May! I just wanted to make you another proposition to see if you wanted to make one last trip before your pass expires. I know it will be another 1 1/2 years until you go next! Anyway, I could pay half the airfare like last time so you just have to worry about the other half and food. I would already have the hotel taken care of. I know it's a long shot asking you, but I just wanted to throw it out there and hope you take the bait Let me know!

What's a girl to do...

How funny that our calendars start at the same time. And you have good boys. Hopefully they have their priorities straight and will put "Must want to go to Disneyland or WDW every year" at the top of their list of must haves in a wife.

I will take pics of my calendar tomorrow. I will post them here either tomorrow or Saturday. Not sure how clear some of my collage-y pages will be, but I'll give it a try.

 

[tksbaskets]

Can't wait to see your calendar!

 

[deejdigsdis]

So here's my free Snapfish Disney Calendar -- just paid $5.99 for shipping.

COVER:

My calendar starts in Nov. 2011. Since our next family trip is tentatively planned for Oct. 2012, I thought it would be fun to have the calendar kind of match our countdown, so to speak.

NOVEMBER -- no pics. This is my son's b-day month so all the pictures are of him at DL.

DECEMBER -- no pics. My other 2 sons share a birthday this month, so all of the pics are of them at DL.

JANUARY: I went with a Hidden Mickeys theme.

FEBRUARY: Flowers around DLR.

MARCH: Some of our favorite foods. Tigger Tails (the old ones), Blue Bayou meals, Big Thunder Ranch BBQ, Chef Oscar's Loaded Baked Potato Soup, etc.

APRIL: Just a bunch of miscellaneous pictures of favorite sights.

MAY: I included pictures of things that sported the name "Disneyland" somewhere on them.

May Birthday. I had some extra pictures loaded and ready to use, so I decided to insert them on the calendar page itself. Space Mountain's birthday is May 27th. I didn't do this for all the rides -- now I'm wishing I had taken the time to do more. I like how they turned out.

JUNE: Light Pictures!

June Birthdays. I especially liked the Matterhorn/Monorail picture since they share a birthday.

JULY: I went with a "Christmas in July" theme.

July Birthday.

AUGUST -- no pics. This is our anniversary month, so all the pictures are from the trip that my husband and I took together without the kids last April.

SEPTEMBER: I had so much fun with the May layout that I decided to go with that theme again. It was really fun to go through all my pictures and look for the word "Disneyland."

OCTOBER -- no pics. It contains lots of pics of my mom and sisters and I from our October trip. Me with Capt. Jack. The 4 of us by the big Mickey jack-o-lantern. Me wearing my Goofy pirate hat while riding the Carousel at the Halloween Party. Stuff like that.

OK, I guess that's it! Hope you enjoyed the little peek at my calendar.

 

[kaoden39]

I didn't realize that you could put pictures on the day. Darn I so would have done birthdays and our anniversary.

 

[TheColtonsMom]

Looks like I won't make it under the 30 day mark, though. Oh well.

Wow what a feat! Look at me currentyly 71 days since I got back and still not done...but almost I think I will now set the goal to finish it all up before 90 days hits maybe sooner.

A good stopping spot?? I want more!

Now I want some French onion soup! YUMMMo~ Where is the tisssue box rest room? I can't believe we never noticed it.
TK

We LOVED that tissue box restroom when we went at Christmas! It is def my favorite restroom in DCA Why? It was the only one you didn't need a fastpass to get into. It was nearly always a walk on Thank Goodness!

Colton really likes hidden mickey's (I think I might get him the book before our Halloween trip) So whenever I see one he didn't see on our trip while reading someone's TR I call him over. He LOVED your Casey Jr one. he said............. wait for it...."She must be a really smart lady to spot that one give her a thumbs up from me" So here is me telling you my son says you are really smart

Enjoyed your descriptions, Enjoyed your pics as always...was sad with you as you left....but

You should probably Thank God for giving you a sister like that!
Want to trade for one that says "go to Knott's instead it is way cheaper"?

 

[deejdigsdis]

I didn't realize that you could put pictures on the day. Darn I so would have done birthdays and our anniversary.

I can't remember how I figured that out. I wish I would have done more now. I did all of our birthdays, our anniversary, and then some of the Disneyland-related birthdays. It's probably a good thing I ran out of time...otherwise I'd end up with a calendar where the dates are full of pictures and there would be no room left to write stuff on it.

Wow what a feat! Look at me currentyly 71 days since I got back and still not done...but almost I think I will now set the goal to finish it all up before 90 days hits maybe sooner.

Taking shifts with your horse that's about to deliver in freezing cold temperatures... I think you are excused from finishing.

So funny! Well you tell Colton that my 11 year old son looked at the Hidden Mickey book while we waited in line for rides, and then would give me a heads up for what to look for. I highly recommend that book. Very fun!

Enjoyed your descriptions, Enjoyed your pics as always...was sad with you as you left....but

You should probably Thank God for giving you a sister like that!

Thanks for reading along! I'm glad you enjoyed the TR. It's good to see you back. And oh yeah...my sister is pretty great!

 

[tksbaskets]

Deej your calendar turned out terrific! I love the collage pics. No wonder it took you some time to do your lay out. I just moved a couple of pics around after the 'auto fill'.

SWEET!

About the subject of having some space between DLR trips - on the one hand I think that if I lived really nearby to DLR (like where my friend Shawn lives in Anaheim), I would most likely visit the parks more often - but for short spurts of time. I would maybe pop in on Valentine's Day to see the decorations, pop in on St. Patrick's Day for a few hours (just to see if the sewing maching window display had anything green in it!), pop in on Easter - or just when the mood spontaneously struck me. I would pop over on opening day of Halloween Time and opening day of Christmas, just to see if anything was new.

On the other hand, I definitely think that I would burn out a tad - even in light of all the photo opportunities - if my trips were back to back to back. Maybe it's because I've struggled so much to get to DLR and make these darn trips happen that they are more 'special' to me if they are not one after the other after the other after the other. Does that make sense?

That doesn't mean I would want years in between visits, but just a wee bit of a break.

See, now you know what I meant when I said that, in a way, of the 2 Snapfish calendars I made, I kind of preferred the first one (the less
collage-y one) over the second one, which was very collage-y. It's not the quality of the photos that I had a problem with in mine. It was just that I packed so many photos on the pages that, in order to see them all, I would have to actually stop and look closely. Whereas, with the first calendar that only had 1 - 3 photos per page, everything was big and colorful and easy to see as I passed by it. The photos were showcased better.

But it IS a very good quality calendar overall - and a nice size, too - so I think Snapfish succeeded in enticing us all to order future calendars. And I will definitely make a point of adding some teeny photos to the actual dates the next time I get one.

I just saw an offer for a free photo book by Picaboo (expires 3/21, I think). It will only cost around $9 or $10 for shipping. They look like lovely books. I would get one in a heartbeat - except for the fact that you have to load their free software onto your computer. I don't think my poor ol' PC will be able to handle my loading anything like that. Otherwise, I would totally do it. I love me some free photo products!

...Or will it??? My sister had to go and tempt me yet again. I got an email from her this afternoon, and I quote:

Well....I think you should take your sister up on it - if for no other reason than to make a beeline to the sewing maching window display and see if it has Easter-y touches!! You need to get a photo of that display during every holiday season!

And if you do go on this DLR trip, you will still have a good amount of space in between it and your next DLR trip, so there will be plenty of time to work up that fervor again!

I love your calendar!! I am really enjoying seeing the variations of DLR (or WDW, in TK's case) photos that we all choose to place in our calendars. And I like the different themes that everyone comes up with.

As I suspected before I even saw it, I love the flower page. I also love the page with 'Disneyland' in each photo. And the Hidden Mickey page is great too. Really, they are all wonderful!

The cover photo was a great choice. The Castle just makes sense.

 

[deejdigsdis]

Deej your calendar turned out terrific! I love the collage pics. No wonder it took you some time to do your lay out. I just moved a couple of pics around after the 'auto fill'.

Well....I think you should take your sister up on it - if for no other reason than to make a beeline to the sewing maching window display and see if it has Easter-y touches!! You need to get a photo of that display during every holiday season!

Still undecided...but now that you mention the sewing machine display...I really would like to see what it looks like in Spring-mode!

And if you do go on this DLR trip, you will still have a good amount of space in between it and your next DLR trip, so there will be plenty of time to work up that fervor again!

Thanks! The tinier collage pictures are growing on me. At first I thought they were just way too tiny to enjoy, but I am liking them the more I pull out the calendar and look at them. But I do get why you prefer the fewer pics/more showcased look. I really like my Castle page a lot.

The cover photo was a great choice. The Castle just makes sense.

 

[DebbieinWA]

Really enjoyed your trip reports! Thanks so much for sharing.

 

[6Smiles]

Your calendar came out great! Love the theming and variety of pictures.
