My goal this year, to see ALL of WDW!!!!!

Sunday we had AK planned, Kim just LOVES AK, mostly the Lion King show LOL So the alarm went off at 6, and I shut it right off!!! We did get up at about 8, got to the park at about 10:30. Not too shabby. Just didn't want anyone to be grouchy. I could hardly move this morning, so it was a chair day for me!! Chris helped me into the shower, and helped getting dressed. I really hate when he has to do that, it's just something I have to get over I guess.

So, we get to AK, and went to see what time FOLK was showing. We figured we'd try to hit the noon show. I knew Kendra, one of the Fl Disboarders was there, and was hoping that Kodakfigment was gonna be there too, so I sent them texts and then we decided where to go. Sami likes Dinosaur, and it's really rough on me, but, I had taken my pain pills before leaving home, and they were in full force, so I said LET'S DO IT!!! So, Me, DH and Sami rode, Tyler and Kim didn't want to. Kendra was eating at Yak and Yeti, and didn't know if she was gonna catch up to us for FOLK or not. DH got a good picture of the hanging dino's butt!!! LOL

And us on the ride, we're in the back row. I had a death grip on those handles!! And I dug my feet in to brace myself LOL Sami laughed at me!!!

So, after that, we figured we'd head over towards Camp Minnie Mickey. Kodakfigment was in the park, and would meet us over there. She did, and we went in to wait in the line, and was the 2nd wheelchair group to go in. We requested the Lion section, and was seated there. Got lots of pictures of the show for Kim and Sami, but I'll just post a couple of my fav's.

After that we went to eat at Restaurantosaurus, for the chicken nuggets. Ate, and then met up with Kendra and Kodakfigment, and they decided to head to MK. We had plans to head to DHS, and were headed to EE, so we said our goodbyes, then headed to EE.

After EE, we headed towards Kali. Last time we rode this with Sami, we got SOAKED. It was hot, so we figured, what the hey!!! And got in line.

We didn't get TOO wet, at least it wasn't sopping like last time. After this, we headed to DHS to watch the LMA stunt show. So next up, DHS!!


Looks like you all had lots of fun! Haven't done Kali in years. You weren't too wet when we saw you.

It was nice seeing you in passing at AK. I would have never seen ya'll if Anakin hadn't kept saying, "friends, friends, friends, friends..."

We were on a photopass mission!! Got some great pics and rode Kilamanjaro Safari. Made it to TGI Fridays right before the skies opened up!!
 
Yea, it wasn't too bad this time. It was good to see you, I had just looked up after sending you that last text!!! LOL We got caught in the rain a little bit. I'm just glad it didn't last too long!!!
 
Love the updates!!!!!! It looks like y'all had so much fun; I can't wait to come back down and see y'all. I haven't done KRR in so long, but I plan on riding it again in March! I guess the last time I rode it was in 2008 and we got so soaked I had to buy a shirt, Tyler had to buy some shoes, and Amanda had to buy a towel.................:lmao:. We didn't want to go back to the room to change.

LOL Dana!! It's feast or famine with that ride sometimes!! We didn't get it too bad, some were a little worse than others. I gotta update the HS part, before I go on Saturday. don't want to get behind on the updates LOL

Poor Chris is gonna be gone all of October, so I'll be asking the help of friends for that month. Sami's birthday is the 7th, so they're coming down that weekend and going again with us then. Got my bestest bud coming this weekend, we've been friends since we were 4, so I'm really looking forward to it with her!! Monday Tyler and I are heading over, since he has no school that day. Teacher inservice or something. That's fine by me, the crowds should be a bunch lower now that Labor day is over with!!
 

Gonna finish up DHS before I get too far behind in this!! Got a busy couple of weeks coming up, and don't want to fall behind!!

Anyways, after Kali, we were headed to DHS, I was texting Tink to let her know we were leaving, and then we ran into them!! Talked real quick, it always is like that when I'm in my chair. Chris pushes me so far forward, I can't see or hear ANYONE! Ah well!! We got to DHS, and headed straight for the LMA stunt show. Kim has never seen this show, so it was a real treat. Sami hasn't seen it since they added Lightning McQueen, so another treat!! The show was awesome as usual!!! Here's a few pics.

Kim's face.....there's pure excitement and joy on that face!! I told her this was a really good pic of her, she looked so happy!!!

Right after the show was over, the skies opened up and poured buckets on us!!! We ran for it, and got stuck at the backlot cantina under the ceiling there. We looked in the shop, and just hung out. Tyler got a Boba Fett helmet, and Sami loves him too, so we got some pics of that!!

Annualpass2011119.jpg


We went over to the bar that's there, and got drinks, I got the rum runner, thanks Julie!! Love that drink now LOL Chris got a beer, and Kim got a strawberry daquri. It was ALL good!! The dude at the bar over did the dark rum floater a bit, it ended up being a shot and a half! So, I was doing ok after that drink, Kim drank half of hers, and me not wanting it to go to waste, finished it off :lmao: This was Sami while we were finishing our drinks. I had to get up and strech, so she kept my chair warm and dry LOL Was playing with her mom here I believe.

Annualpass2011120.jpg


After the drinks were done, we went and rode TSMM. The wheelchair line is usually really long for this one, but it's one of my favorites, and it wasn't too bad, so we got almost right on.

He's such a goofball!!! After that, we were watching the time, cause we wanted to see Fantasmic. We headed that way, and rode Tower of Terror, and Rockn Roller Coaster, then got in to get seated for Fantasmic. We got there 30 minutes before the show, and were in the top with the chairs. We were DIRECTLY in the middle of the whole show!!! It was awesome!! Chris and I got this pic of us, and then my camera battery died. UG!

Kim enjoyed the show, not as much as she hoped, but hey, it's one you gotta see once. She was hoping for more fireworks I think. After that, the park was closed, so we waited for the people to clear out a bit, before we left. And, then we went home!! Kim and Sami left the next morning, and we headed to the Brevard Zoo to check out the new ziplining thing they have there now. Chris and Tyler did that, and the had a blast!! I wish I could do it, I'd sooooooo be up there with them. Those pics are on Facebook, I think most everyone follows me on there. It was a blast!! Good labor day weekend!!!

This Saturday with my friend Melody coming, I know the last park we're gonna do is DHS, I made a dinner ressie for 50's prime time, so I wanna try to make the 4:30 stunt show again with her. So after that we'll go eat dinner. I'm wavering on the park we go to first, I may wait until she gets here to see what she wants to do. Her birthday is sunday, so I got her the military ticket, and we're gonna have some FUN!!! Look out DW, here we come!!!
 
Ok, I'm really excited for saturday now, made a breakfast ADR at Crystal Palace!!! :woohoo:
 
So, Lasagna is done, salad is done, kitchen is cleaned up, all we gotta do is make the bread and EAT!!! Cake is made too, just gotta frost it. I'm flippin BEAT!!! I did want to try to walk tomorrow, but right now, I can't hardly move. I did want to get in the pool to clean it too, not feeling that either LOL So, we'll have to get up and leave by little bit before 7 to make our breakfast ADR, but it'll be worth it, I'll get MICKEY WAFFLES!!!!! I'm psyched!! I'm not sure Mel has ever been to a character meal before, so that'll be pretty cool. The camera is all charged up, AND, we got a new little play toy last night, a Sony Handycam video camera!! So, I'll have some videos!! :) SWEET!!

You are making me so hungry and I just ate. Eat a Mickey waffle for me, I love those things, oh yeah, and get a big ole glop of the breakfast lasagna for me too, that is the best stuff since sliced bread!!

Y'all have fun, but stay alert. I know you are going to love you new toy; I can't wait to see some video!!
 
Have a wonderful day tomorrow. Enjoy breakfast. Give my best to Tigger.
 
OMG ya'll, I had like the best day EVER yesterday!!!! Once the pics are uploaded to the main computer, I'll post the update....there's a HUGE surprise in there too!!! So stay tuned!!! Tink, you already know the surprise!! :)
 
I can't wait to see all the pictures!!! I hope you ate some of the breakfast lasagna for me???
 
Dana, I didn't see any of the breakfast lasagna, they had a egg and vegetable fratata that was really yummy. I'm working on pics, got them off the camera and on the computer, just got to get them to photobucket!! Chris is getting ready to head back down to Miami, so I'll kick Tyler off the computer, and update photos.
 
Let's start out this part with a little background, my friend Melody and I have been friends since we were 4. We went to the same preschool, and Kindergarten place, our dads were good friends too. We played in the middle school and high school orchestra together, went to our prom together with a group of us, and did lots of other things together. We have a long history.

Sometime in July, she popped into my mind, and I never know why people all of a sudden pop in there, usually there's a reason, cause I'm weird like that :rolleyes1 So I called her, hadn't seen her in a little over a year, but we talk on FB and all that, so it wasn't NO contact. Found out her and her husband had separated in July. So, there's my reason that she popped into my head! Asked if she had plans for her birthday weekend, she said no, and we went from there. She's a teacher on the west coast of Fl, just south of Tampa, so she came over Friday night. I got the spare room all made up for her, and made lasagna. Here I am cooking!!

Goofy I know. My step mom made me that apron for Christmas one year. Don't wear it too often, but sometimes it comes in handy. I was in a good mood and ready to see my friend.

We ate dinner, and talked, Chris went to bed, and so did Tyler since we had to be out the door a little before 7 the next morning, but us girls talked. That's what we're good for! We did get up, and get out the door on time, and headed to MK for breakfast with my boyfriend!!

Our fuzzy butts LOVED Mel!!

Melodysbirthday002.jpg


So we got checked in, and seated within 5 minutes. It wasn't very crowded in the restaurant for it being 8:30. Soon the Characters started coming. We got Eeyore first, which is Mel's favorite!! He snuck up behind her, and none of us saw him until he was there!!

Then Piglet.

and then, here comes my boyfriend, and he MAULED us all!! Always fun!! He even mauled Tyler, who was anti picture for this breakfast!!

We went to the potty, and missed Pooh, but that was ok. While us girls were in the potty, the waiter brought Mel this!!

Melodysbirthday011.jpg


She was pleased, and surprised, and all giggly. I love reactions like that!! No matter how old the person is!!!

Melodysbirthday012.jpg


We finally got our check, and headed out to the park. I'll cut this one off here, I might be at the picture limit LOL

 
Happy Birthday to Mel!! Great pics with the characters. I'm glad Tigger got Tyler! Cute little sneak in there with the Piglet pic!
 
After breakfast, we ventured into Fantasyland. During breakfast, we were trying to come up with a plan for the day. I had a dinner ADR for 50's prime time, so I knew we'd END the day at DHS, but what to do that morning? I couldn't decide, so I asked Mel what she'd like to do.

The answer was simple!! When we were little, we did a trip to the MK with our Kindergarten class, and she wanted to ride with our teacher, and I guess me and my Disney excitement ran in front and got in with the teacher instead of Mel. This ride was DUMBO! She was heartbroken, so we rode together, and had a ball!!



That is our new playtoy we got the other night. It was nice, but the battery doesn't last too long. But, that's us together on Dumbo!

We also rode Snow White, and went to the shop at the end of the Pooh ride, and Mel got an Eeyore pillow pet. I showed her my Tigger, and she wanted one but in Eeyore, and we found it!!!

After that, we headed to AK. Mel wanted to see the Gorillas, so off we went. We got right on the safari ride, and I was afraid since it was almost 11 that none of the animals would be out, but they were!!

Melodysbirthday037.jpg


Now these guys were right beside the road, and a smaller one was IN the road!! He came up to our truck, and we sat there for like 20 minutes while this thing checked our tires, and chewed on some rope!! :lmao:

Melodysbirthday033.jpg


Melodysbirthday036.jpg


After we finally got off the safari, we hit the Pangini trails to see the Gorillas.

Melodysbirthday043.jpg


We took our time, and saw everything on the trail. Once we got to the Gorillas, there was a big one sitting right by the glass, with his back to us.

He looked a little weird, like he was sitting on a stick. When he moved, I clearly saw that he took a poop!! Now....that wasn't the weirdest part, he walked a step away, turned around, picked it up, tore it in two, and then ATE IT!!! OMG I was :sick: Chris and Mel were laughing, but me, I was gagging, and trying to run away LOL

Melodysbirthday058.jpg


Melodysbirthday062.jpg


Melodysbirthday059.jpg


After that we headed over to ride EE. Rode that, and then headed towards the Exit. It was around 1:30. Chris took a video of EE!!



Again, gonna cut this off here, and start new!!
 
Hmmmm.... a new TR that's on page 4 and you didn't even mention it. Yes, you would think I would notice the link but really I am not that observant. I almost never check out the TR page anymore, I just read the ones I am suscribed to. For some reason I looked at it and there was a new TR with your name underneath. Yay!

I am happy I joined in just in time and got to see you at CP. I just love that restaurant especially for an early breakfast. It looks like you had a great morning catching up with your friend.

HEY!!!! Pink's here!!! :) Yea, I put the link on Facebook....WINK WINK :lmao: I am glad you're here. I got a few friends that are doing a continuous TR with annual passes, so I got that idea from them. With as much as we go, I thought, why can't we try to do EVERYTHING there?? So, that's what we're doing!! I'm including those we take, and meet up with and such. So if we meet up with you guys within the next year, I'll put you guys in here too!!! :) Glad you're here girlfriend!!!! :hug:
 
Followed you over from Tink's TR. I love your goal!

Thanks!!!! At first it looked like a lot, but when you're on a mission, it's not so hard. It's just to break up the seeing the same things all the time when we go. I'll finish updating Saturday in the morning, I gotta upload pics from today too!!! Had a blast with Tink today, her little one is sooo special!! You can't help but love him!!!
