I'm terrible at detailed trip reports. So, I'm just going to be posting a lot of pictures and adding captions :P

*Oh, and just a note, if I keep saying we, I mean my cousin and I. I don't have a multiple personality disorder XD [Sometimes I think I do though XD]

August 6th. 7:00 am. I woke up and got dressed. My dad brought home some Dunkin Donuts, because, we had to eat or dispose of all the bread and dairy stuff, or it would rot in our fridge or whatever. Around 8:00 my grandparents dropped off my aunt, and my two cousins, Tyler and Brittany [at my house], who were also going on the trip with us. So we screamed and were like YAY! because they're just as big of Disney fans as we are. We had some donuts and we couldn't eat much because of our excitement. Around 9:00 our limo came to pick us up to drive us to the airport. We have never ridden in a limo before, so we were all exstatic.

The limo in my driveway.

Us infront of the limo. Yes, we dressed up for the limo XD
We like to feel fancy XD

Oh, and I made a video too.
And I was kidding about the rich part XD
I was...in the moment. And I felt cool then XD
The video is uploading, and is going to take a while.
And yes, I was talking about my nosey neighbor. I was waiting for her to set her dog loose to have an excuse to come out and talk about the limo :rolleyes:




Alright, so we get into the limo. We're like AH! and are really excited. There was a little snack bar in there and a TV and everything in there. It was such a cool experience. I hope we take a limo again our next trip. I really liked the experience. It was also fun to look at the people try to see who was in the limo XD Maybe they thought we were some cool celebrity or something. Or maybe not. No one cool is in New Jersey XD They all go to New York XD

mmmkay.
So, we get to the Philly airport. I didn't take anypictures there....
wait yes I did.
But they're really bad.
But I was excited, and didn't really care how they came out.
LOL.

HPIM2615-2.jpg

Me and my excited face :D

So, our flight was at 12:10, which was later than we were used to. We always liked to leave at 3 in the morning for our 7:00 flight XD
So, the plane ride was excited, and Brittany and I could hardly contain our excitement.

Lalalala. Nothing exciting.....
Then...

OUR MAGICAL EXPRESS BUS ARRIVED!
HPIM2629.jpg

Here it is, just arriving at the Wilderness Lodge.
Which I loved!
Favorite hotel.
Better than I would have ever imagined.

HPIM2635.jpg

The lobby. Getting a picture of the lobby is really hard. It's dark, and it was so huge! This picture brings no justice to the lobby.

HPIM2639.jpg

The geyser. Which I just noticed is sort of mickey shaped. In a way :D

Ok. So luckily, I packed my bathing suit, because I was so sick of being in that dress. It wasn't that uncomfortable, but, I just needed to change. We went swimming for a long time, it took a while for our luggage to get there. we arrived around 2 and our luggage didn't come until 5! :eek: We got really hungry around 4:30. [On our way down, we saw our luggage being carried up to the room XD] So, we went to the roaring fork and decided to try out the Disney Dining Plan for the first time. We got the hang of it pretty quickly. We got our snack, and I got chicken noodle soup. The Wilderness Lodge was freezing!

When we got to the room, our luggage was there! Yay! I quickly changed back into my bathing suit and we went swimming in the quiet pool.
I liked that pool. It was always a little less crowded than the main pool.

Next up. August 7th. Magic Kingdom.
Coming soon!
 
August 7th. Magic Kingdom.

My camera lense was still foggy. :P

We got in a little early because we had breakfast reservations at Chrystal Palace. I was looking forward to the waffles, but I was a little dissappointed with them. They were a little cold :[

I took this picture while everyone was in the bathroom. I thought this fountain was pretty :D

HPIM2664.jpg

After breakfast, we headed straight to Splash Mountain. The line was only........35 minutes. So, why not?

HPIM2665.jpg

I got to hold the timer card thing!
I was excited! :D

HPIM2667.jpg

Me and Brittany named the little rabbit on the log Funny Bunny [loonggggg sotry about that XD]

Next we figured, while we were there, to head over to Pirates of the Caribbean. So we're walking la la la. Me and Brittany aren't paying attention, and my mom says "Look, it's Peter Pan!" and me and Brittany stop and scream! We were like AHHH! [Another long long long long story about Peter Pan. So everyone but me and Brittany keep walking. We beg beg and beg to get our pictures taken with Peter Pan.
My mom gives in and lets us go see Peter Pan!

The CM with Peter Pan told us that he thought we were dying when he heard us scream XD

So lalala, we got our picture taken, and I asked Peter Pan if he liked Aladdin [part of the long story XD] and Peter Pan was all like "Well, he's alright........I guess. Why would you ask that silly question?" And I didn't want to tell him the long story, so I was like "Hmm, I was just curious." Annd Peter Pan couldn't get over that I asked him such a weird question XD
Peter told Wendy that he wants a magic carpet, but Wendy was like, "You already know how to fly!" And yep....it was pretty funny.

HPIM2672.jpg


So, after the Peter Pan distraction, we went on Pirates of the Caribbean.
When we came out, Jack Sparrow was there, and we decided to watch a littlel bit of the show, since it was sooo hot out.

HPIM2674.jpg


HPIM2675.jpg

I swear, he sounded JUST like the real Captain Jack Sparrow.
Just as good looking too, may I add. ;)

continued...
 
We went on a couple more little rides, but not much since it was so hot out, and it was so crowded and the lines were hideously long.
We went back to the hotel for our snack.

We were on level two, in the Villas. We had a corner room, and I loved it!
2519 was my room number :]
