Magic as Wide as a smile!10/28 Trip Report Link!!!!

Hello Dis friends!

Woo hoo! :cool1::banana: 40 days seems infinitely closer then 50! I think because it's less then 1/2 of 100 and because 30 days is only 10 days away! Yes, I'm weird! I admit it! :rotfl2:

I haven't changed anything for the trip and I don't think I will between now and departure day! Unless something else strikes my fancy! :lmao:

That's not to say there hasn't been planning, it just wasn't for the Oct trip! :lmao: Friday is ADR for DD's b-day trip so I'll be up bright and early Friday morning even though the kiddos don't have school! I'm ok with that! I may revise the choices a little between now and then!

There maybe other plans being made, but that's for a different post or thread :rolleyes1
:rolleyes1

I love your counting system!

I'd also like to thank everyone for the prayer and well wishes for my sister! She's home now. Although she's completely out of it! Part of her problem is that she's been getting really awful heads that never really go away! They kind of just dull and then come back! They gave her what was supposed to be a nerve block to stop the pain. My mom, my sisters DH and I all assumed they'd give her some sort of injection in her neck or something. But apparently they used 4 long cotton swabs, with topical cocaine on them and put them up her nose! :scared1::sick::guilty: She's really out of it because of it! When I spoke to her last night parts of the conversation included her mumbling incomprehensibly! It was kinda scary! But my Mom says she's ok!

They haven't found out what the problem is yet, but they're pretty confident that they're on the right track!

She hadn't had, as of last night, the mammography or ultrasound because they could get someone to come in over the holiday weekend! :eek: My Mom was pretty certain it would be done today!

Hopefully there will soon be an answer and she'll be on the rode to recovery!

I'll be back soon with another TR update!

Hopefully your sister was able to get some testing done today and get some answers

:lmao: I think I may need some mental help! :rotfl2:

I'm honestly not sure if she had any tests yesterday. She was still completely out of it last night and my Mom was starting to freak! I have to call this morning to see how everything is but I can't until after my nephew is off to school! I don't want to mess up his routine! So, I'm waiting!

Don't we all! :rotfl:

fingers crossed for your sis
 
Other Plans....What other plans could you possibly have? :confused3:rolleyes1
 

Woo hoo for 40 days! That is really close. :thumbsup2

Ooh, another trip maybe? My parents and sister went in January this year and they said it was great. And a couple years ago I went in May which was great too. The weather is a tad warmer in May but crowds were low both times!

I just can't begin to imagine :rolleyes1

:confused3 dunno!

It's creeping every so close! I get a little twinge of excitement every morning when I look at the countdown widget!

Hmmm, another trip! I've done January twice. The first time was lovely weather, this past January, obviously, was FREEZING! The crowds were super low though! The one thing that freaks me out a tiny bit about May is the temperature! I'm not a hot weather girl!
 
ANOTHER TRIP?!?!?! :yay: You have APs, right? :rotfl:

So glad you got BLT for the WHOLE trip!!!

Praying for your sister too - sounds like some scary stuff going on there...Please keep us updated! :hug: How is your nephew doing? Is he still completely freaked out? I hope someone close to him is able to help and comfort. :guilty:
 
Why yes, yes it is!!!!!!

And a huge thank you to YOU for being the catalyst/touchstone that made it happen :goodvibes


I'm so excited! :cool1::banana:

I take no credit! I think MaryEllen and Christine had something in the works! This was kind of the jumping off place! :cool1:

thinking of you and your sister and hoping things are ok

:grouphug:

Thanks Cynthia! She's doing ok! Still waiting for them to pinpoint something!
 
Sometime, a long time ago, before another trip was hatched, I left off on my TR with a little shopping before dinner at DHS!

We were soon checking to 50’s Primetime Café! Yipppeee! I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again. When I planned this trip I wanted Jen, John and their kiddos to have the most fun possible in the time we had!

I figured 50’s Primetime was a good place to eat in my “all fun, all the time,” plan! My figuring and planning could not have prepared me, or anyone else for that matter, for what would occur at 50’s PTC!

We checked in for our 4:30ish ADR and waited a lllllooooonnnnnngggggg time! There were a lot of people waiting! I’m not sure what it is about restaurants in DHS! Last Oct we waited an insane amount of time for a less then stellar lunch at SciFi! Anyway, we waited at least 45 minutes! It was rather annoying and a little disheartening! Really, I had planned this meal for ultimate amount of fun. Now we’re sitting here in Grandma’s living room (which indeed has a few knickknacks that could have been found in my own Grandma’s living room, no joke!) starring at each other! Hoo hummm!

Oh well, we were finally seated and the fun of the meal and yummy food melted away any stress from the wait!

Our server was fabulous and so in character! She was fabulous!

She had a thing about BIL! He kept getting in trouble! Not putting his napkin on his lap and a few other things! He decided he should tattle on Jen for something and them got in trouble for tattling! It was hilarious, Jen was laughing so hard I thought she may burst!



She warned him numerous times about putting his elbows on the table! Finally she had had enough and he got in trouble!



Ketchup on the table will teach him! It was so funny!

With all the hilarity going on the food was almost secondary! In all honesty, I’m not sure what everyone had! I know Justin and I had the fried chicken and DH had the meatloaf, other then that, no clue!

I’ll admit, I got in a little trouble myself! I didn’t eat all my greens! Actually, I don’t think I ate any of them! So I got the greens with whipped cream and sprinkles for dessert before my actual dessert came out! The girls were horrified by it so I, being the mean aunt I am, offered them $5 a piece to take one heaping spoonful and eat it! I believe I offered them $20 a piece if they ate the whole thing!

Well, sufficed to say I left 50’s PTC with my wallet $10 lighter! There was no way I was leaving $40 lighter! They couldn’t do it! I really wish I had taken pictures but I was laughing soooo hard I couldn’t!

It was probably the most fun I’ve ever had at any meal! Our 1900 Park Fare experience is second ;)

After our meal was over and our bill was settled it was time to head out! But Ryan needed a diaper change (I’m so glad he’s completely potty trained now!) and Jen and I both needed a bio break! We decided to let the rest of the family head in the direction of Fantasmic! We told them to grab seats and we’d meet them!

After our visit to the rest room we headed toward Fantasmic! With about 19 million other people! I told Jen that I had never, ever seen this many people in one area in Disney before and that this was why we don’t go at busy times! YIKES!

We got to the Fantasmic studio to discover that the theater was full for the first show! UGH!

Worse yet we could find the rest of the family anywhere! Double ugh! I tired to call both John and Jessica but had no luck! Triple ugh! Where could they be?!

Jen and I decided to head back to 50’s ptc to see if they were there! Maybe they had walked back that way to get out of the crowd!

Almost back to 50 ptc I got a call from DH! Apparently they had gotten separated in the madness around and had to find each other before finding us! I was happy to findout that DH hadn’t lost either kiddo!

They were heading back out way and we’d decide what to do next!

Once we were finally together again we discussed out options!

I bet you can guess what happened!

We split up!

Jen and I, Ryan and Jess went back to Kidani! This was my 7th trip to WDW since 05 and I’ve yet to see Fantasmic! ACK! But I wasn’t feeling staying in a cold dark park until all hours to see it this time! One day I will see it! Hopefully, December!

Those of us who went back to the room has yet another wonderful night in the room relaxing! The rest of the family loved Fantasmic! DS7 was super excited to see it! It was his first time! He LOVED it!

Our heads hit the pillow that night dreaming of our last full day, dis meets and dinner with mickey dancing in our heads ;)
 
Ohhhh I love the ketchup on the table!!!! That is too funny!! I have only been there once and it was a time to remember.....my nephews got in so much trouble....had to go set someones table, fed their food, stand nose against the wall. And yup, I have it alllllll on video!!! :thumbsup2 The food was good too ;)
I must say I have never seen Fantasmic either.....something about waiting around for seats, crowds, etc....I know it is an awesome show but :confused3 For now I am sure I can catch it on youtube :rotfl2:

It's been almost 5 years since I have seen Fantasmic!! I am making sure to see it in January no matter what!!!! I really would like to see it again!!!

What a great meal at DHS!!!! Sounds like you guys had a blast, ewww to whipped cream and sprinkles on the green beans...YUCK!!!! Love having a good time with family at my happy place LOL!
 
I'm not sure what it is about PTC either, we had to wait at least 20 minutes last year.

That ketchup is a riot! The CM really does make the meal and it is so much fun! I'm glad your group enjoyed it so much. It is good food on top of it all but if the whole group gets into it then it really becomes a great experience!

The crowds for F! kill me. Even for the late show it's nuts.

:lmao: It was so much fun! We've never had a server there that was so into character! I was kinda hoping that she'd make BIL put his nose on the wall but she didn't!

It does seem terribly daunting doesn't it?! I've been on the theater and sat in the seat but DS, who didn't feel good all day, finally admitted he needed to go back to the room! So him and I left, good thing! The poor baby woke up with a 103 fever the next day!

I that they have it only 2 times per week now! That really kinda messes things up and makes the crowds terrible!

We had a really good time at 50ptc! It was so much fun and such a good memory!

I'm not sure what it is about PTC either, we had to wait at least 20 minutes last year.

ACK! it really seems like there is a lot of tables in there! I wonder what the deal is!

:lmao: the ketchup was too funny! We had a lot of fun and it really was a great experience!

Fantasmic is a killer! It was insane back there! I felt like we couldn't even move! If the late show is bad too I'm glad I left!
 
gasp, gasp...I'm all caught up!!! :woohoo:

Wow, my head is spinning from all the changes, surprises, more changes, new trips. :rotfl:

I better not wander too far away or I'll miss the next round of changes! :rolleyes1

:lmao: I like to keep things interesting and keep everyone on their toes! :rotfl2:

I don't think there will be anymore big changes to this trip, maybe just a few little tweaks here and there :)
 
What an AWESOME meal at 50's!!!!!!!!! I love the ketchup on the table, I don't think I've ever seen that one!

And it's completely hilarious that you bet your niece's $5 to take a bite. I can only imagine what their faces looked like!!!! :rotfl: What fun memories!!!

Sorry to hear about Fantasmic! You'll get there eventually!


She's hanging in there, basically still waiting! My nephew is doing good! My parents are there and he adores them so thats helpful!

So glad to hear your parents are there with him!
