Well, they always wave goodbye at me when I leave the park... but I've never had a full pyrothecnic show just to bid me farewell... seems someone is really a Disney Celebrity
Yeah, that's it....I got special treatment!

A perfect way to finish a last day in the parks... finding what not to miss the next trip
Loved the update
That's a great way to look at it Trib! Thanks.
Sorry about wishes but sometimes kids do know best! I can't believe that you haven't been on the people mover before. I go on it probably every time I go except for the time that it was 38 degrees and didn't need more cold.
Yes, occasionally they have the better judgment. But not very often!
I know, it's hard to believe.

I just never worked it into the plan of attack before.
Yup - Back to the typical results for me.

Not surprising, I am late all over this week. We are getting close to summer and I actually have work to do at work.
Boy, that stinks...havin' to actually
work. I've noticed that it seems like more and more people are taking vacation days now where I work, as the weather's getting nicer.
TT is the same way, I always look bored out of my mind. I wonder if anyone really buys the pictures with them looking like that. They are funny though.
Yeah, now that I've been on it a bunch of times, the surprise has worn off for the picture of "the barrier test". I wonder what that first picture looked like for me? That was way before I started takin redneck pictures.
You can easily be there for 8 days and miss all of that. It always seems like you can fit stuff in so easily and yet it is sometimes a lot of work to fit in the "basics" like Wishes and as a result, it just doesn't always happen. It is a sad ending to your fabulous day though. I am often surprised by how little gets done/seen on some days where others are amazingly full. And besides, there has to be SOMETHING to justify that next trip, right?
Exactly, there are still more things to do! And if we add some more "restful" days to the mix, we'll definitely need more time!
Haven't commented for a while, so now that you are almost done I guess I better get my two cents worth in:
Oh that's no problem at all. I'm just glad you're still around.
Sorry you missed the fireworks. I guess good bus mojo means bad fireworks mojo. Sounds like you need to plan another trip.
Apparently that's how it works. I didn't realize that before.
I agree -- it's high time!
I agree it is very easy to not see everything when you think you have so much time. We had seven day hoppers in March and fell like we did not get a lot done. Or course by the third day we were sleeping in during the morning and lounging by the pool in the afternoon. That may have had something to do with that.
I'm sure it did have something to do with it, but it sounds wonderful! Next trip, we'll have regular, daily tickets (however many days we got. I guess I need to look at the 2nd or 3rd chapter of this TR to refresh my memory) rather than Annual Passes, so that may actually prompt me to change the pace somewhat. Get a lot in on "park days" and set aside "relaxing days" when we don't go to a park at all.
I agree Gray Goose Slushies are wonderful. So is the Peoplemover. Really surprised you had never been on it before. It is probably in my top ten list. Quick line, long ride, get to sit and relax, and fun to watch people down below.
I agree. We'll probably be more inclined to work it in when we need to rest our feet, next time.
Hard to believe your trip is almost over. I have really enjoyed reading about it.
Thanks, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! I think I'll have two more chapters of TR material, and then some wrap-up stuff.
How soon can you go to WDW again and start another trip report?? I have really enjoyed this trip report and the interaction of DIS folks!
Wow, what a nice thing to say Rozz! Thank you!
(And what's it worth to you?

The only thing standing between me and another trip is....how to fund it?)
This same thing happened to us with Wishes on a previous trip! I hate when that happens and you see the fireworks going off as you are leaving. Kind of depressing.
Sorry to hear that it happened to you too. It's really depressing! It wouldn't have been nearly as bad if we left, thinking that the weather caused them to cancelled. But to just miss them, and drive away with them going off, was the pits.
I'm amazed that you had never ridden the people mover! ....or as my DS likes to call it..."the blue ride". We use this ride as a get off your feet-relaxation ride-whilst keeping the young one entertained.
I know. It's kind of an embarrassing confession on these boards.
I like your son's name for it!
Great pics from Space Mountain! It'll be nice when DS gets brave enough to ride more. He's branching out quite a bit, actually. I'm pretty proud! This trip he has stated that his "new ride of bravery" will be Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. We shall see how that pans out in June.
That's great! I'm sure he'll do it if he's already stated it as a goal. It's actually a great intermediate ride -- a little more exciting than a kiddie-coaster, but not too scary. It'll really help with the next ones, when you can say "but you conquered Big Thunder...you can do this one too".
What's the matter with 2? Why'd you leave it out?
Just popping by to let you know I'm still reading. I kind of dropped off the boards for a bit thanks to busy things school wise. It's my graduation events this weekend.
Hi, thanks for checking in! No need to apologize, sounds like you've been busy. Congratulations!!!
I've successfully suckered....I mean convinced my parents to eat at some nice places for lunch, including Sci-Fi Dine-in and such. I've been browsing food porn for the eateries we'll be visiting and I swear I can taste it.
That's great, I know you'll enjoy them. I think I like visiting Disney restaurants as much, or maybe even more than going on the rides. Have you looked at the menus and decided what you want to get already? (I've been known to do that...for like, just about every ADR that I had.)
Whenever we talk about our trip, my dad always finds a way to bring up the Electrical Light Parade, which we definitely can't miss. Have you seen it before? I'm hoping we don't manage to miss Wishes since we've never seen it before.
Hmmm, you have me thinking (and it's not working real well unfortunately). I was going to answer "no", but I'm thinking that we may have seen some of it when we were going from Fort Wilderness to the MK after Hoop. But, I've seen lots of pictures of it on the DIS, and I don't think that it's a "must see" for me.
I hardly have time to be exited for WDW since I'm leaving for DLR so soon.
Now I'm getting jealous! You've been to DLR quite a bit, correct? My first and only time was when I was almost 5. (Don't ask how long ago that was!)
