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

Oh my goodness, so close!! Didn't you just get back?! Gotta love those short breaks in between trips. I was just saying the other day how I wish we were going again this summer. Even though it's so hot it was fun to have a vacation planned. But I guess I'll be waiting until December. :guilty: Have fun!
 
Have a great time on your solo/girlfriends trip!!!! It sounds great!

(And should give me enough time to read your current TR!)
 
are you going to do a trip report for this trip?

Yes! I haven't decided if I'll start another thread, or just put it in here right along with this one. I'm NOT good at keeping up with 2 threads (let alone even one...:laughing:), but I could try...we'll see. But yes, a TR WILL be done!

First, let me say, I am a huge fan and long time lurker of you TR's. I have read them all and they are the best! Henry is too cute! I have a little boy who is 2.5 and whenever I am reading your TR's and he sees Henry, he always says, "that's me!" :goodvibes

Secondly, my sister bought a box of the coconut Mickey heads at the store in All Star Movies 2 weeks ago, hopefully they will still be there for you!

Hope you have a great trip!

Thank you for posting!!! It's nice to "meet" you!!! That is soooooo cute about your DS! :cutie:

I am THRILLED to hear that about the Mickey Heads!!!! :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: It was very sad to not find them everywhere during Feb/March, the CMs thought they must have been out for rebranding - thankfully they were right!! Thank you for your info!!!!!

Brook - can't wait to hear about your trip on FB again! Please let there be lots of FB'ing!!!

If the offer of a postcard extends to across the pond - let me know! I was going to ask MeMom too!!! hee hee!

Have an AMAZING trip!
xxxxxx

How much is a postcard stamp for sending it across the ocean? I've never looked into that....but if it's not an insane price, then YES! I'd love to send one over!

Last night I had a dream that I got to MK (and the Castle was huuuuuuuuuge, it was weird!) and I had 2 phones on me. My phone and Joe's work phone. :confused: Apparently these phones were so heavy they were making my shorts fall down. :rotfl: I was standing on a staircase that you had to take down Main Street, staring at the Castle, completely GIDDY, pants falling down and I wanted to take a picture with my phone so I could Facebook that I was there, but kept grabbing Joe's work phone instead of mine. I was frustrated, I wanted to send a message to Facebook, but I had to hold the phones so my pants wouldn't fall down! So, I just kept walking. I rolled the waist of my pants over and juggled the phones. I got to the Castle and there was an "adventure river" type ride in the moat. :rotfl2: I didn't want to ride that first, I was at Rope Drop, I knew this was not good touring, so I got even more frustrated, but then I just let it go and decided to float down the moat!

Then I woke up. I've never had a Disney dream before a trip, it was so funny!


Just a thought for you and Lauren to discuss, as cards coming from Disney World do seem to take a while: You might want to send the card to Jake from Mickey (or whoever) telling him how happy he was to see Jake and Mallory, so that he'll have that when they return home. Just from our prior card experiences, if she is leaving on June 4th, and with the holiday weekend, I have huge doubts that he will get it before they leave. If, by chance, it does, she can just put it aside until they get back.

Brook, I'm anxious to see what all you get with a point and shoot. I think you'll like the ease of hauling it around. You just need to grab another SD card before you leave. ;) 1200 isn't going to cut it. :laughing:

1200 will be pushing it for me! I'm click happy! I will have to learn some restraint!:rotfl:

That is a very good idea MeMom about the postcard!!! And yes, that is a good point about the holiday weekend making things even slower. Lauren - what do you think?


:woohoo: on it being one day until your trip!!! :banana:

Your plans sound great and yay on getting a new swimming costume - wow at having the same one since high school!

I leave TOMORROW!!!!!!!! Ahhehhehehehhehhehehe! (not sure what the word is, but it's the sound I emit when thinking about the trip. :laughing:)


EVIL WOMAN!!!!! :rotfl: (thanks! :hyper:)

Oh my goodness, so close!! Didn't you just get back?! Gotta love those short breaks in between trips. I was just saying the other day how I wish we were going again this summer. Even though it's so hot it was fun to have a vacation planned. But I guess I'll be waiting until December. :guilty: Have fun!

In ways it feels like we got back last week, and in other ways it feels like FOREVER ago. I could easily go to Disney every three months though...that would be perfect. :cloud9:

There is no hope, at all? The flights are still too much? :sad2:
 
Have a great time on your solo/girlfriends trip!!!! It sounds great!

(And should give me enough time to read your current TR!)

Thank you!!! I should try to send a bunch of updates today/tomorrow for people to read while I'm gone....:scratchin

but, that probably won't happen...my to do list is already long enough! :laughing:
 

You are going TOMORROW!!! Super excited for you! :banana::banana::banana:
 
TOMORROW is THE DAY!!! So excited for you! Your solo/girls trip sounds like it is packed :) with fun :goodvibes
We will be driving down as you are flying back. You have the better deal...a nice plane ride...while we have 8 packed in our minivan like sardines:scared1: for a 12 hour drive:scared1:
Prayers are appreciated that all 8 will make it to Disney:lmao: I dont want to have to put anyone out by the side of the road:lmao:
Have a great time and I am excited to keep up through facebook! Be safe:)
 
Okay lady,

HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME!!!

Your plans look amazing, and I cannot believe you aren't taking your SLR!!:scared1: I understand though. There are times that I really don't want to drag mine around, either.


One last thing before you go......


:jumping1: :jumping1:
 
I'm sooooooo far behind on TRs I had to skip all the banter, but I still had to pop in and say: TOMORROW!!! I'm so excited for you! And also jealous (I know, I know, I was just there...but still...I want to be going back tomorrow, too!).

I also cannot believe that you were wearing the same swimming suit from high school! That's crazy!

Have an extraordinary time!
 
Brook, I just wanted to let you know that I do not like seafood either but Jon and Lexi love it so I booked Cape May because it is hard to get good fresh seafood here in the Midwest. We all loved it. There was plenty that I could eat and I think it was one of the buffets that I ate the most at. Make sure try at least one of the Oreo bonbons they have in the dessert section. I really liked the carved flank steak with the horse radish cream. Also we ate at Liberty Tree tavern for lunch and it was really good too.
 
Look at that ticker.

TWO DAYS!

In the words of the Little Einstein's, "I can-not be-lieve it!"

Time has been flyyyyying right by, much faster than any previous Disney trip!

I have knocked out a few details and plans for the trip, so I thought I'd share those with you!

Saturday, May 28
Arrival.
My flight lands at 7:45 pm. Boo! I might be trying to fly stand-by for an earlier flight. Sarah's flight lands around 5:00 pm, so that would be more ideal for me too!
We won't be able to go to a park this evening due to Sarah's tickets; however, I might hop over to MK to meet up with disneyfan61 (Doreen), if time and plans allow.

Sunday, May 29
AM - Animal Kingdom
PM - Magic Kingdom, staying late! PM EMH until 2 am!
--I kinda want to hit DHS for the Hyperspace Hoopla at SWW. It looks like SO much fun, gets fantastic reviews and is at the Hat stage this year, so we won't be completely crammed in like sardines. We'll see if it happens...
--we scrapped the Ultimate Touring Plan through MK for a number of reasons. Besides, this gives Magdalene and I something to look forward to when our trips cross again! :woohoo:

Monday, May 30
AM - Hollywood Studios
PM - Epcot, late dinner ADR at La Hacidena. Hopefully we get a good table for Illuminations!
--we may also do the spa this day, undecided as of yet...we'll probably just play it by ear!

Tuesday, May 31
Sarah leaves before the crack of dawn. :sad1:
AM - Animal Kingdom
PM - Hollywood Studios
--late dinner ADR at Cape May Cafe with wigdoutdismom, shocker and jenjolt! :yay: I am soooo looking forward to this awesome meet and dinner! I am not a big seafood person, but the buffet looks like it will have plenty of other choices, and maybe I'll be adventurous.

OR.....

4 Parks 1 Day, ending at Cape May for dinner.

My plan would be:
RD at MK
AK
Epcot
DHS

Rules are 3 rides, plus one food item at each park. And I would see if DTD could possibly fit in there as well. I will be a MESS by the time I meet up at Cape May though!! I'm just going to roll with whatever I'm feeling that day. Who knows, I might end up in Epcot!

Regardless of what I do, after our Cape May dinner we'll all be heading over to Epcot for PM EMH until 12 am. Jen and I already have plans to chow down on some caramel corn! There also might be some leg wrestling involved...:rolleyes1

Wednesday, June 1
Departure day. :sad2: But! ME won't be until around 4 pm! WOOT!
So that means RD at MK for me!
Lunch ADR with the same crew from the night before at Liberty Tree Tavern! I've never been here, I'm very excited to experience it!
And TR Spoiler: I will also save my first Haunted Mansion ride to happen this day with Jen!!!! She's the biggest HM fan I know, so it will be especially awesome to ride it with her!


Hi Brook! I finally made it over here now that I am done packing! I leave bright and early at 5:30am tomorrow morning. I'm not happy about that but hey, I'm going to Disney! And so are you!

I really hope you get on an earlier flight. I had some trouble with my flight where they tried to tell me they switched me to a different one, yet they still had seats on the original flight I had booked on :confused: I don't think they know what they are doing. Now all is good! They did say that the airports were going to be very busy with heightened security for the holiday weekend so to make sure to get there early.

I had sent you a message on facebook with my plans earlier in the week. Looks like our Monday and Tuesday plans overlap -- I'm planning on going to DHS on Monday and AK on Tuesday morning. So let me know what would work for you to meet up. Probably best to send me a message on facebook since it's not as easy for me to check in here on my iphone. Hope we can figure something out!

I hope you are done packing! I'm going to try and get to bed early since I have to be up so early. Have a safe trip and I hope to see you soon :goodvibes
 
Well...I had meant to get back here with a TR update before I left; however, during the free chunk of time I had, my photo storage site was down! :headache:

There is still a small chance of hope for tomorrow! But, if I don't make it back here, I DID get your PMs (even if I didn't respond), and I'll see ya on Facebook! (or...after I get back :laughing:)
