my birthday magic trip!

[disfanalicia]

cast:
Alicia- birthday girl -me
Karen- mother

setting:september 2006
day one-magic day:We flew southwest out to FL. We got on our ME bus and went to POP. We had both stayed at POP before but we always want to come back . We unpacked some things in our room and got some food at "everything pop" and headed off to animal kingdom. The food was very good. We got to animal kingdom and the magic began. The main reason we chose Animal Kingdom for our first park of the trip was EE ( we had never been on it before). It was a very fun ride!( rougher than we expected though). We also went to Dinoland USA and went on my personal favorite rides!. Shortly after that we went back to POP. It was a long day.

day two- Ohh gosh i love dole whips and pirates: day two we got an early start at MK. We went for morning EMH and saw the park open. I got a birthday pin for my birthday which was the next day and put it on. We never arrived for park opening before & it was really cool to see the train come with all the characters onboard! It was such a pretty thing too see. I would see it again a million times. The day was off to a great start. We did alot of rides but we couldnt find out why Pal Mickey kept saying "ohh gorsh" we didnt read the instructions LOL. We were waiting for the pirate show all day we couldn't wait to see it after all we have heard it from the DIS. We rode dumbo that day for the first time. It was a cute ride. We also rode the newly done Pirates of the Carribean. It was SUCH A GOOD RIDE. We loved it . It was pretty hot out that day so we got our first dole whips. They were very refreshing. I got the dole whip float . We then were waiting a half hour outside for the pirate show that we thought would be there right away. We asked a lady at a stand selling water when it was coming. She told us 3:30 so we waited untill 3:50 STILL NO PIRATES.We were tired and wanted to leave but we waited 10 more min. and there it came. We were soooo excited and no longer as tired. We were right in front. We had gone to the Pirate gift shop so i had my pirate bandana and i was ready. Finally it was here. We had a good Mac and from our point of veiw the BEST Jack. The show started and we watched. Then Mac and Jack were choosing people to be in the show. I was acting like PICK ME PICK ME PICK ME but hiding it in then all the sudden Mac said " What do you think of that one" (pointing to me) Jack said "ohh that one Okay" I was then in the show. I got to " fight " Mac and get "fighting tips" from Jack. It was so much fun. I also got a paper that says i am a pirate. After that we took a nice trip back to POP and went to our room to decorate our window. We walked in and we had a towel animal! We decorated with green mickey heads from home depot . We got a few DIS people that signed it. We wrote down what we did and went to bed Here are some pictures:

day 3 - epcot birthday- we woke up and went to Everything POP to get croissants. We love croissants in the morning . We then went back to our room to get ready for my exicting birthday at Epcot. I got a BIG cake Hat that had lights and everything then we headed off to epcot! The bus ride was nice ( when is it not). We arrived at Epcot and went to Guest relations to get my Birthday pin of the day.!.!. We then Rode Sorin' for the first time. We loved the whole thing, the breeze and the smell of oranges. We rode it again then moved on to one of my favorite rides- Figment's Journey Into Imagination-. We planed it perfectly so i could meet Figmet( i love figment ). we rode the ride than i got 3 figments products. We did test track and a few other rides that we LOVE . The only bad thing was it was hot out. Then we did a few countries and waited for our 1:00 reservation for Le Cellier( in Canada). We Went to Le Cellier and had chedder cheese soup. We had Never had it before and I think it ws the best food i have ever had in my life! We had fun looking at all the countries. We went back to our resort for a swim in the pool. We met all kinds of new friends. We got a snack at Pop and went back to epcot for the food and wine festival. We had MORE cheadder cheese soup for the food and wine and we tryed fish and chips too. We walked around for a little while longer then went back to POP after a tiring day. Once we got to POP we got choc. cake in Everything POP then when to our room. Finally we could lay down and watch TV and eat our cake! The cake was very good. After we ate we wrote in our Disney Passporters and went to sleep to wake up to another exicting day!

Here are some pictures from today:

day 4- we woke up on saturday and Karen (mom) felt sick. Her ear hurt and she had a bad cold. We had Reservations for 1900 park fare though so we grabbed a snack at everything POP and went back to the hotel room to get ready. We both had to take showers and we only had a little while until our reservation. So we took quick showers and went down to the bus for MK. The line was the longest line we ever saw for a bus, but we got in line and a bus came. Of course we didnt make the first one but then several left and we didnt make it. We were going to be late if we didnt make this one. Karen was feeling sick standing in line all that time. Finally a bus came! We thought we were going to make it. Everyone was getting on and it was starting to get full. Then they cut the line off RIGHT IN FRONT OF US! By then we know we were going to be late and couldn't wait for another bus,and if one came we would be late anyway because once we were in MK we had to take a monorail. We were upset! We got out of line and were going to forget about our reservations for breakfast. I really wanted to go so i BEGGED to take a taxi. They were all lined up and we got in one. It was a REALLY scary tough guy and we realized after we got in that we only had $15 dollars between the two of us and our key to the world which we used to buy everything. But a taxi wouldn't take that so we had to use cash. The cents were ticking and we were running out of money. We ended up having just enough money for the ride to the Grand Floridian but didnt even have enought to tip him. we were late but they let us in. the food was FANTASTIC. We loved it. We went back to the hotel because my mom wasn't feeling well . She laid down and ALMOST canceled our plans for that day, Typhoon Lagoon and Downtown Disney. We went to typhoon lagoon and loved it! We rode the crush n gusher and rode on the lazy river. Also did all the slides and rafts. After that we headed down to downtown disney. We stayed out and had fun. we went shopping but mostly just went looking at stuff in different stores. We left after awhile and went on the bus to Pop. When we got back we were hungry. We got a snack and went to our room and snacked and wrote down what we did today. We fell asleep and had disney dreams. .

Soo hot out- It was very hot out on animal kingdom day. We got up and got our breakfast at Pop. We were all ready to leave when we got our breakfast so we ate and went to the bus. We got on the second bus that left. We made it to animal kingdom and went on some rides in dinoland. Next we went on Expedition Everest and had so much fun. We were so hot after that. We were ready for kali river rapids. We had gone on before and knew we would get soaked. We had fun and got wet. We walked around and I wanted a charactature done. We waited for the guy to finish up the person he was doing then we chose what kind I would get. I decided on a giraffe body because i LOVE giraffes. It didn't take long for him to do my charactature. It came out so cute though. ( i have a picture of it shown below)
After that we were so hot because it was so hot out. We went back to our resort for a break. We got a snack as always and rested in our room. We then went down to the pool for a swim. We stayed down there for awhile. It was a fun way to cool of and have non- alcoholic pina coladas. We went back to our room and decided to just have a night at the pool. It was a fun day. Here are some pictures:

MNSSHP- this is the day we were waiting for! MNSSHP. We had gone to it before but chose to go back. We rested in the morning and woke up late( by late i mean 7:45). We got a snack and headed straight for the pool. Thats where we spent most of the daytime. We rested and chilled out by the pool until we got ready. We went back to our room to get ready for our night out. My mom wore a captain jack shirt and black pants. I wore a green peter pan dress and shoes and hat ( everything ). It looked so good. We took the bus to MK as planned and had dinner at Liberty tree tavern before the party. We met all the characters and had fun. It was cool to see them all in halloween costumes. Then the party began. We tryed to meet snow white and the 7 dwarfs but we got bored of waiting. We saw a few cool things and the went to the dance club. It was so much fun! I was following donald just to....... i dont know. It was fun and we got quite a few pictures. Then we got ready to watch the parade. We had a very good spot to stand. There was a guy doing balloon animals ( i got one!). Then CM noticed my yesterdays b-day pin and EVERYONE on main street sang happy birthday to me! We then saw the show the villans mix and mingle. It was so cool meeting captain hook because i was peter pan! We met quite a few characters that night. I also got my face painted in Toon Town. We went shopping and back to our resort after a wonderful day.

Hi disfanalicia! Thank you for writing a report and sharing your memories with us! I love your Peter Pan costume, and it seems that you and your mom are having an excellent time together. Keep going!

 

[crossbonz]

[IATink]

In the morning we got up, and we were tired from last night. We rested and didn’t get up till late (for us). We went out soon after we got up. We were going to MGM Studios. We were prepared after a good night of sleep. We ate and took the bus out to MGM. (Disney studios). We love TOT. we got there and I bought a pin. I buy pins everywhere. We rode TOT with a mom and small boy. He had never been on it before. We talked to them in line and ended up sitting with them on the ride. After the boy said he was scared and didn’t like the ride we then rode the great movie ride ( I also love that) we have been on it before (as all Disney things). But there was one thing we hadn’t seen INDIANA JONES. It was so cool. I loved it. It was so cool to see. I would see that again. We went to lunch at Si Fi Dine in after that. We never ate there so if was cool. I loved it but it was kind of weird. Then I got a hair wrap. I got 2 shades of green. It looked cool. We did more rides then went back to the resort.

Here are some pictures from today:

TOMOROW WE GO HOME

 

[disfanalicia]

We woke up and went to the food court to get a small snack before we went to the castle for breakfast. We ate and took the bus to MK on our last day. It was such a sad day because we REALLY didnt want to go home . We were on our way to the castle and we ran into the Dapper Dans! They were so cool! They even sang happy birthday to me!. We continued our way to the castle. When we got to the castle it was a long wait but it was funny because a CM kept saying "all the lord and ladys of the castle" it was never us but she had no voice so it was funny!. We got a table and it was such a good meal. It might have been my favorite breakfast EVER. We went on a few rides after breakfast like the Pooh ride and Snow Whites Scary Adventure. We met Horrace Horsecollar and Clara Cowbelle on our way out and we had been waiting to meet them . Over all it was a AWESOME trip and i cant wait to go in August.
