Marriage: The Trip Report - Update 2/28 - Final Thoughts & Link to Disneyland TR!

[blessedby3]

That Ultimate Touring Plan sounds like so much fun---glad you are doing it and I get to read about it I dont think I would actually be able to do it by my OLD self
Sounds like you have great plans

 

[Softballgirl27]

I like your kind of excitement for the night! Thank you for reading! We take a LOT of pictures - over 5,000 from our 2 week trip! I love to share them on here and hopefully bring you as much of the magic as I can.



It will make a whole world of difference I'm sure being with just one other person - I bet you'll get a TON more covered! I look forward to seeing how much I can do solo...in my head I imagine flying through everything, but we'll see!

yah it would be nice to go all day or as long as i wanted and not have to stop or go for a sit down lunch. i would just go and grab a sweet treat

I saw a group of people ay AK and their shirts said 4 parks, 1 Day.
are you going to rent a car or use Disney transportation.

The day you do the ultimate MH day,
I hope you may have sort of a rainy day, but not to rainy that it shuts some of the rides down. Me and my sisters were at the MK from 3-midnight and did almost every ride. I can not believe how it cleared the crowds out.



the cheese burger at the plaza was like any other that you could get at any C.S.

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

The Plaza was always one of those places that I always just walked by and never had any interest in. As someone who never gets the dining plan, this seems like it would be a great place for us! Glad to hear you guys liked it.

 

[disneyfan61]

Ah! Yes! That just might work - all depends on how I feel. I will reply back with my cell #!

I just PM'd you.

After hearing about the Tuna sandwich, I definitely want to try plaza. My late best friend Pam and I were always in search of the ultimate Tuna sandwich. We'd try all sorts of places everywhere. I continue the search without her. So far, my top Tuna is actually the tuna on whole wheat that you get at the pool bar at SSR. I suspect that they are made in a central location, so the ones at every pool bar would be the same or at least the same recipe. Its delish! Somehow, I didn't take a pic?

The Ultimate Touring Plan and the 4-Parks-One-Day both sound like a blast! What a fun way to spend your solo time!

 

[Native NYer]

The Winnie the Pooh queue looks like so much fun!
The food at the Plaza looks so good. I may need to add an ADR.

 

[CreightonsMomma]

I thought the walkthrough for winnie the pooh was so cute. We had fast passes but I watched other kids playing the games. Yum! The turkey sandwich looks delish.

Your solo trip plans look so exhausting. I think you will be able to accomplish it and I look forward to reading about it.

 

[Flossbolna]

Oh, you are going to do the Ultimate Touring Plan without me!!! just kidding! I hope I would be able to come along for that, but I can absolutely understand that you want to do it on your solo trip!

Solo trip plans ound great. I guess you are still waitlisted for another DVC resort? I hope some solution will come through so that you are not "forced" to stay at SSR!

 

[TanzUnited99]

Love the update - that food looks great!!

Also love the pic of the sword with the castle in the background - may have to try that shot in September

We loved the Plaza when we went on our trip in Dec! It was my very FIRST table service meal at DisneyWorld ever. I had the steak and cheese and my husband got a chocolate milkshake. You are right- its really affordable! My daughter is sitting next to me and she was reminding me that she went to the Magic Kingdom and ate there! And people think 2.5 years old is too young to go...

We got fastpasses for the Winnie the Pooh ride AND it was dark, so we totally missed all that stuff... I guess that means we have to go back.

Solo trip- sounds like fun!!!

Okay... I'm all caught up I think!

 

[jenseib]

I got so behind again! I love the Pooh Que. We rushed right through it because it was dark. I don't think Claire even minded, but she did point out a few things while we were in line. We just did NOT have enough time this trip to do it all. And that was going strong all day long.

 

[PirateKate]

Carter loved playing in the new Winnie the Pooh Queue. I can easily see how a little kid would find the play area more exciting than the ride.

Your solo touring plans sound like so much fun! Very tiring, but in a good way. I hope you figure out how to get the resort you want.

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Why have I not read much about The Plaza? Your food looks delightful!!! Yum! I really think I might switch some things up before our ADR day on Friday and give it a try. Is it usually fairly easy to grab an ADR?

I LOVE your solo plans! Do anything & everything you wouldn't be able to do with a hubby and little man! This will be a blast for you Brook! I'm super excited for you.

 

[Gabrielsbigtrip]

Finally had the time to catch up on your report!

Now let me see if I remember all my thoughts....

Your flight - I'm a Coke Zero Sweet Potato girl so I would have been VERY happy with those snacks. Not a peanut fan at all. We always fly SW. Bummer about the delay and on one of our trips....we had a delay and by the time we were ready to take off...Gabriel's DVD battery gave out. I had to hand over my Ipod Touch and sit there reading Sky Mall for two hours Seeing Henry with such cool electronic goods reminded me of that.

Gosh I love that feeling when you are off to the House of Mouse!!

LOVE Henry taking pics of the food!

Main Street Bakery

Winnie the Pooh is Gabriel's favorite. I don't know how he is going to react to it being "different" but it looks so cute I am sure he will love it.

We want to try Plaza some time too!

You had said that you can choose your dining plan each night? Do you know if that applies when you rent DVC points? That would be awesome if so.

Cool on a SOLO TRIP!!!

Now, I will try and keep up so I don't have so much backtracking.....but thank goodness you do an index

 

[Mindy5767]

Do anything & everything you wouldn't be able to do with a hubby and little man!

That reminds me, a great thing to do sans males is have afternoon tea at the Garden View Lounge at the Grand Floridian. We do this as a "girls" afternoon tea. My MIL and I took my daughters and niece, dressed them up in their pretty spring Easter dresses. We also did this another time with 2 of my girlfriends and one's daughter while the boys went somewhere else... it is so elegant.

 

[MAJ RN]

Really enjoying your report!! Henry is such a doll! I love the queue around Pooh, can't wait to see if for myself. I may have to play around there, my teenage son will probably be embarrassed. Looking forward to reading more!

[Fantasyland Mom]

Looks like a delicious meal! I think I need to try The Plaza sometime. No room on our next trip...guess that means I need to plan another one!

 

[vamassey1]

Your plans for you solo trip sound like so much fun. Touring solo will make it so much easier to get around.

Can't wait to read the reports.
