Move over Dumbo our circus is taking over! Surprise trip adventure!!

[Pluto0809]

That is a lot of stuffies! I have quite a few but nothing close to what you have. Jim tolerates my obsession for the most part. I figured you would appreciate this. I came into our bedroom yesterday to find this picture. And he assured me that Stitch was just riding Dumbo and not, well you know, "riding" him.



And for Matt, here's the guy his Vinyl is modeled after.



And as for the World of Coke in Atlanta, yep they have all the flavors that are at Cool Club plus a bunch more. I tried Beverly there a long time before I even knew about the one at Disney.

 

[Blissikins]

Wow, that's a lot of stuffed toys! You should recreate the advert with your kids and their toys, that would be cute!

I collect Disney stuffed toys too, mainly Winnie the Pooh though, well into double figures of those, of all different sizes and outfits. I showed GREAT restraint when we went to WDW and only bought one Winnie the Pooh toy, from the ride gift shop. DH has already been warned that I can't promise to be as well-behaved this time!

OMG! this is a dang riot!!!
Oh and yes our husbands would get along famously.. We have more stuffed animals then most toy stores.. But you take the cake with your Teddy bears/pluto/Disney rooms!!!

And for Matt, here's the guy his Vinyl is modeled after.

Yep! this is the one!!! he might keep it now that he knows what it is from!!! THANK YOU!

Blah! The one by you sounds so much more FUN!!!

Hey! that's a FANTASTIC Idea!!! Thank you! only the Disney ones of course!!!

Ugh oh! Do you have pictures of your collection? I'd love to see it! Have you seen Ariana's (Pluto0809) collections? If not i will have to ask her to post the link. I was shocked to say the least!

Sorry running a bit behind today! Going to do an update! but first have to get this day uploaded to photobucket!

 

[Chicago Mo]

This was our last FULL day at a park. We were to leave tomorrow 9/14.

Thankfully i have a bazillion pictures to load. This day will have the MOST pictures! Between Zack and i there are over a thousand pictures as i am transfering them from my laptop to this computer for photobucket...

I am noticing a lot of the pictures are CR2... Raw format... as in i NEVER edited them!!! What have i been doing with my time?!?!

Well i can start with:

Another fine morning in Disney! We were up and ready to catch the bus.....





HAVE you been reading this report?!? NO we weren't! We got up ate in the room again and all loaded into the car one more time!
to see this most BEAUTIFUL SIGHT!




I was looking and taking everything in as this was our last day here and we needed to make the best of it. Who knows when NEXT TIME is...

We parked in the magical:


Meghan was happy and i knew we would NEVER forget where it was..



we saw the destruction on the Poly once again.







we are almost there!!!

and this is where i leave you hanging... I have a LOT of work to do...

 

[annegirl]

Last day is sad. But lots of pictures is good!

 

[MissMaryQC]

Awe, the last day! Le sad

Great parking spot! My sis and Meg have a love of that little lion in common (yes when I think if Simba I think if the baby JTT lion cub )

The Poly, I know it's changing SO much, but that's my dream resort. I wanna take DD there for her fifth birthday (kid isn't even 6 months old and I'm planning her fifth birthday)

 

[Chicago Mo]

Last day is sad. But lots of pictures is good!

We still have tomorrow the 14th which is our departure day.

Awe, the last day! Le sad

it is. But we still have tomorrow this is our last day at mk.

Great parking spot! My sis and Meg have a love of that little lion in common (yes when I think if Simba I think if the baby JTT lion cub )

Yes the Lion King is prominent in our home. i watch it more then anything else!

The Poly, I know it's changing SO much, but that's my dream resort. I wanna take DD there for her fifth birthday (kid isn't even 6 months old and I'm planning her fifth birthday)

It's absolutely hands down my favorite resort. BUT what they are doing to it is breaking my heart!
If you haven't been before i am sure it will be magical for your first time. Being there when the grandeur of the fountain greeting you is GONE. the amazing sights and smells..

I will be back there one year.. I just don't know when nor do i want to pay those crazy prices...




****

Took me a LONG time to edit all of the pictures. Then took me even longer to delete the duplicates.. I mean if i posted them all you would be able to do a flip book make a still action movie!!! we are down to 509 pictures for this day.

I have it all done now i am waiting for them to upload...

 

[Chicago Mo]

Upon entering the gates to pure happiness Zack wanted to hit the train station!





Another FIRST for us!!!



we also rode on Walter's named train!







As you can see Tom did video!

Already my leg was the size of an elephant




We rode the whole way around the Magic Kingdom. I do highly recommend! We enjoyed it all!









a-maz-ing







We took a moment to see main street from the higher perspective. We needed to remember the now. This moment. Our family, our time.

..

 

[KatMark]

You are such a tease!

I HATE last days. But it looks like you have a sunny day to start, you are parked in Simba and you are going to the happiest park on the planet.

 

[KatMark]

Dang you went and sneaked in another one while I was typing.

Mark would be so excited that you rode the Railroad for the first time. He loves doing that every trip and we've often been on the Walt train.

Isn't the view from the station stunning?

 

[Chicago Mo]

After our magical Moment i wanted to go on over to literally say Hello to the mouse.

The kids went left.








and we entered City Hall for Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom... I was NOT looking forward to this. I knew this was going to take up a TON of time. I would much rather walk. Enjoy MEET TALKING MICKEY..

No.


We picked up the cards and the map needed and off we went to Adventureland!







Our first stop?


That's right! The DSA. you guys go right ahead and fight the fight!


It was CRAZY Hot out this day.. I remember consuming tons and tons of water..



One of the clues lead us to the Carpets of Aladdin. YES we are going to ride it!





No we did not get spit on! YAY!!
Then:


The next clue was around here somewhere.. I had an idea.. Thankfully my family is not looking at all things Disney like i am.. They didn't know...


te he he he he

so i was able to get them in there:





na na na na we are going to do stuff I WANT....






Tomorrow I will post all about the

..

 

[KatMark]

I'm still not sure I want to see a talking Mickey...I like keeping some of the originalness (is that a word?).

I definitely know I would NOT like the Sorcerer's game...too much time away from what I want to do.

Sneaky Momma...getting them in the Tiki Room. Can't wait to hear all about it.

 

[Chicago Mo]

You are such a tease!

No no..

I HATE last days. But it looks like you have a sunny day to start, you are parked in Simba and you are going to the happiest park on the planet.

Sunny and HOT.. oh BOY was it hot! your right we are going to the happiest park ever!

Dang you went and sneaked in another one while I was typing.

I do that a lot... we must be thinking of each other!

Mark would be so excited that you rode the Railroad for the first time. He loves doing that every trip and we've often been on the Walt train.

Oh it was fantastic! we will be doing it every trip!!!

Isn't the view from the station stunning?

nothing can beat that view... Well maybe if you were staying IN THE CASTLE!!!

I'm still not sure I want to see a talking Mickey...I like keeping some of the originalness (is that a word?).

Originalness is now a word..

I do want to see him.. It wasn't happening this trip. dang game!!!

I definitely know I would NOT like the Sorcerer's game...too much time away from what I want to do.

Exactly.. It does take up way too much time.. I much rather do the perry game in Epcot. This wasn't worth it!

Sneaky Momma...getting them in the Tiki Room. Can't wait to hear all about it.

Te he he he he he he

 

[pigletgirl]

We were in MK the same day and yes it was HOT!! We spent the majority of our day at the splash zone until the sudden downpour. It was also quite crowded!

 

[Pluto0809]

Yay for MK! Boo for last day there.

I did the whole ride the train around when I was there in December. I actually started in Fronterland and did a whole loop then stayed on till Storybook Circus so I did more than a full loop. It was sure relaxing and felt nice to get off my feet for a while.

Too bad you didn't get to see Talking Mickey (or did you make it back there later?). It was an amazing experience.

I keep thinking I should try that Sorcerers game but never seem to have time.

Next time you are at the DSA, take a closer look at the rocks. There are some carvings there left by natives from the island that the Robinson's were stranded on. Something else I learned on the KTTK tour.

Can't wait to read about your Tiki Room experience! I probably don't need to remind you it's a favorite of mine.

 

[annegirl]

I really enjoyed riding the train around the park too. Nice and relaxing time to just sit back and look around.

We thought about doing the Sorcerer's card game too but just didn't end up having (or taking) the time. I love that they led you where you wanted to go!

 

[DMGeurts]

The last day is always so sad.

I really do love riding the train... The train is a great way to use Disney transportation and save your feet - we use it all the time. I am glad you all got to do that on your last day...

My computer has been being dumb lately - and won't load all of the pictures on any given page???? Weirdest thing - so I can't see all of them.

But SoMK... So many people love it - but we have yet to play... I also think it would be such a huge time suck. BUt - when we run out of things to do there, then maybe we'll start?

D~

 

[CaseFace5]

Oh no.. not the last day!!

I rode the train for the first time on my mini trip this past April. We only rode it to Adventure land but it was still pretty awesome!

I love those pictures from up on the train station! I want to get these our next trip.. so cool!

One of my friends from college helped to create the sorcerers game. Not my cup of tea by all means, but I've heard it was neat if your into it.

 

[Chicago Mo]

We were in MK the same day and yes it was HOT!! We spent the majority of our day at the splash zone until the sudden downpour. It was also quite crowded!

How did we NOT meet up?!?

At first that downpour felt AMAZING but the drops got bigger and bigger.. But i am gettin ahead of myself!!!

Yay for MK! Boo for last day there.

Last days SUCK.

I did the whole ride the train around when I was there in December. I actually started in Fronterland and did a whole loop then stayed on till Storybook Circus so I did more than a full loop. It was sure relaxing and felt nice to get off my feet for a while.

It is relaxing. We enjoyed it a lot more then expected! We will do this every trip.

Too bad you didn't get to see Talking Mickey (or did you make it back there later?). It was an amazing experience.

Nope. those rotten kids of mine wouldn't go. NEXT TIME it will be on the list of to do's.. When we talk about Disney trips now it is one thing they say they want to do.. Thinking they know i was bummed about not meeting the main mouse. trying to make it up to me.

I keep thinking I should try that Sorcerers game but never seem to have time.

I do believe you would enjoy it. I will give you fair warning. IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME. there are people that take this game very seriously.

Next time you are at the DSA, take a closer look at the rocks. There are some carvings there left by natives from the island that the Robinson's were stranded on. Something else I learned on the KTTK tour.

Ohh really?!?!? I am going to have to look NEXT TIME!!! something fun to find!!!

Can't wait to read about your Tiki Room experience! I probably don't need to remind you it's a favorite of mine.

HA! Yes i am shocked there aren't more pictures then what i have??! When editing i am sure i deleted several.. I do remember a really good picture of the white in the middle and cannot seem to find them.. I think i have a troll in my computer stealing all my good pictures...

I really enjoyed riding the train around the park too. Nice and relaxing time to just sit back and look around.

Cannot agree more. It is wonderful to relax. Your still on a ride so Zack isn't having a fit. yet enjoying all the sights!

We thought about doing the Sorcerer's card game too but just didn't end up having (or taking) the time. I love that they led you where you wanted to go!

It does take up a LOT of time. It's really cute, entertaining, yet you have to plan to take hours out of your day for it too.
I don't know if i was leading them or they were leading me... I knew there were things I WANTED to do this day and dang nab it we were going to do them!!!

The last day is always so sad.

It totally sucks.

I really do love riding the train... The train is a great way to use Disney transportation and save your feet - we use it all the time. I am glad you all got to do that on your last day...

This was the first for us, it's like a little secret passage around!

My computer has been being dumb lately - and won't load all of the pictures on any given page???? Weirdest thing - so I can't see all of them.

WHAT?!?! you missed some great pictures! glad you back here and reading along!

But SoMK... So many people love it - but we have yet to play... I also think it would be such a huge time suck. BUt - when we run out of things to do there, then maybe we'll start?
D~

Yes, it a a time consumption for sure. it's cute, fun, ya learn the park a lot more, little hide-a-ways i just wasn't in the mood to use up our last MK day running around looking for clues..

*******************

This past week in school is catholic school week..
Monday was PJ day:






Tuesday was Spirit day. They all wore their uniforms for basketball/volleyball

Wednesday was of course Wacky Wednesday:
In case you wanted to know what was in my fridge too....


Shirt is on backwards too



Shirt inside out and backwards along with his sister's tu tu...



He could have went as himself as Wacky Matty.

Today is Character day I am sure you can guess what clothes they wore!







YAY!!! She was able to wear the DUFFY DRESS AGAIN!!! I did call for her to change her socks..



Ok. I stopped the report yesterday in order to find several of the Tiki Birds pictures.. Most are GONE! I do believe i have a little gremlin in my computer eating all my pictures.. There is no other explanation!

 

[KatMark]

Love all the outfits this week. And for Meg wearing her Duffy dress again.
