Yes, I am definitely one of those chicken things. I don't really understand why someone would want to freefall like that. The ground is perfectly safe. RRC has a track you go along, ummmmmmm TOT, not so much!

I'm thinking crying and stomping my feet might get me out of it??????

think again!

Brandi you get her on it and buy the picture! I'm telling you Nikki once your on it you'll love it!I told you all my Dh kids and my MOM went on it! and MOM has a heart condition!!!!!!!Don't chicken out!!! Just think I have till when Oct to goat you into this and then it is all up to Brandi to drag you kicking and screaming on it. Stomping of feet means you get to ride TWICE

Hey Nikki! I'm finally making the rounds after a long absence. That baby Simba pic is TOO cute!

That dress...YIKES!!! Hopefully the fact she and Robby decided to go to the prom together at the last minute explains why she ended up wearing a dress like that. Surely she would have chosen something more tasteful if she'd had more time to look for one (at least I hope so).

Hey Nik!


Great update! I can't believe you won FP's! Good job! Stinks it was at the park you only have half a day in....but it's more than we won and we've been to WDW 3 times during the YOAMD

The prom pics are cute! They both looked very nice! My sister and I were at Macy's the other day and all the prom dresses were out...we were wishing we have a formal dance go to!

I'm headed over to Brandi's PTR to subscribe! I'm going to live through you guys since I'm not going any time soon!

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Hello
I am posting incase NIKKI our fine author has lost her way to her own trip report??

Like I said bad edict to start a new pre-trip report before finishing the first trip report.
You know I am just joking!

 

[ILMICKEY]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. My only problem with finishing this is I seem to have quit taking notes after AK. So I'll have to wing it with pics.

I really will get this report finished. BEFORE my next trip.

We left Animal Kingdom feeling really good about making another families day. Kind of like a subcontracted Dream Team. We decided to head to MK to finish our day.

Since we hadn't went to the back of the park yet, we hopped on the train. Sure beats walking. It was midday now so there wasn't any line.

First thing we did was go into Minnies house. You can't come to Disney without going here. It just isn't right.

Minnie is quite the decorator. Question~Mickey has his own house right? Why would she hang up a stocking for him unless he was spending the night there if you know what I mean??

After a brief stop in this section of the park, (not much to do here with teenagers) We left for fantasyland. Jay really dislikes Winnie the Pooh so I had been picking on him telling he had to ride it. Honestly I had no interest in riding it at all.

We get up by there and he decides he wants to do it. The line is huge. I kept telling him it was alright, we don't have to do it but he insisted. 60 MINUTES LATER we were on it. Thanks Jay!! This was the one and only ride we ever waited past 15 to ride. And no one really wanted to do it. SOMEONE just had to make some kind of statement!!

Anywhoo, we wanted one last ride on HM.

We get through the stretching room and are dumped into this HUGE line.

A huge line that isn't going anywhere. A couple minutes later more people are dumped in. Still not moving. A couple minutes later more people are dumped in AGAIN. We are totally getting smushed in there. I'm touching people I really don't want to touch and people I don't want to touch me are touching me. Still more people are dumped in.

A CM says please move to the sides and make room for arriving guests.

What???? Are you freakin kidding me???

Someone must have made a brilliant executive decision to STOP letting people in.

About 20 minutes with a bunch of sweaty, stinky, loud, rude, touchy feely people went by and we started to move. I know failures happen, but why or why couldn't I have been ON the ride when it did.

I need my space.

Looks like from the pictures we went to Tomorrowland. On our way we stopped to smell the roses. Or at least take pictures of them. Matt and Jay would locate a really pretty rose and I would take it's picture. So the rest of this post will have my rose pics. Hope you like them and they don't bore you.

Yes, I know this isn't a rose.

 

[ILMICKEY]

Ha Ha! You thought I was done. Nope, I'm finishing this day. Though I can't seem to type today.

After my photoshoot with the roses, we made our way to tomorrow land. We hopped on the TTA. This is so relaxing. I love it. We got to space mountain and it was down with the lights on.

Creepy huh??

When we came to the bottom after getting off the ride there was a CM standing there with a clipboard.

Oh my gosh, could this be it? Our stay in the Castle Suite??

Nope, she wanted us to do a survey about the TTA. Oh, okay. She made it sound like they were talking about getting rid of it. I TOTALLY bragged up this ride. She asked if there was anything we didn't like about it. Absolutely NOT! Hopefully it worked and it never goes away. They can change the name all they want, just don't take my precious ride away.

We got a sticker for all our helpfullness!!

Next, off to Buzz Lightyear. We were really becoming addicts. I'm sure we must have rode this 5 times back to back. Switching partners. It was a blast.

I look like I was really into this. I think I was..........aiming????

We left Buzz. It was hard, but we had other things to do. As we left Tomorrowland crossing the bridge we saw Push, the talking trash can. Since I was the Photographer and Robby was the Videographer I told him to grab the camcorder.

He starts taping and here comes Push. "Hey Mr. Speilburg, Mr Speilburg." Robby starts running away from him and gives the camcorder to me. I put the camera down and switch to the camcorder. This was gonna be good. Push must have harassed poor Robby for 15 minutes. I seriously thought he was going to cry. He was somewhere between petrified and giddy. Push made him give him a hug. GOSH I WISH I COULD FIND THE DARNED TAPE! I am so upset it's missing cause this is really good stuff. Here is the one and only picture.

Robby said he knew it was that guy in the back doing it, he said he didn't say anything cause he didn't want to spoil it for everyone else. I'm not really sure if that's all true, but if it is, Good show Robby!!

Doesn't it look like he is staring right at me? Probably because I was laughing so hard. It is still talked about today in this household!!

Oops, I missed a rose pic.

We were then off to our ADR's at The Plaza. I remember it was pretty good food. I got the Reuben. It was yummy. Nice place, kind of reminded me of an Ice Cream Parlour.

Here are our after dinner ducks.

Then it looks like we just kind of wandered around.

I know we had to go back to the Jungle Cruise one more time. The boys had to see their Stephanie. I learned at this time my sons have Stalking qualities.

We got to the front of the line and Robby asked if Stephanie was working. The CM said yes, she's on a boat right now and we could wait for her if we wanted.

We did.

5 boats later she showed up. The CM told her we had been waiting for her. She looked scared. I assured her it was because she had us rolling she was that funny. We weren't there to hurt her.

She kind of changed things up a bit, she was funny, but not as funny. She might have just been scared.

When the ride was over I asked for a pic of her and the boys. She happily obliged.

Really, she is funny. If you see her, wait for her. She takes the ride to new levels.

I'm pretty sure we went to POC after this. Cause it's in the neighborhood. I just love this ride. I wanted to do the whole ghost thing, but for the life of me I just coulnd't remember the guys name???

Afterwards, I stopped to get a glass of Pineapple juice. Yummy!!

I really am there.

It was time for fireworks so we headed up in front of the castle to find a spot. It had been so empty in Adventureland. We found out where everyone had went.
We found a spot. I wanted to get good pics.

After the fireworks we left. These guys were waiting for us. It was kind of sad because we only had 1 more day to go.

We got to the monorail and Lord Almighty it was packed. I had this bright idea to take the Resort Monorail. The line was way shorter. We knew from our visit to the resorts that it was going to stop where we needed to get off.

DUMB, DUMB, DUMB!! Do you know for every resort monorail there are 5 regular monorails??? We waited longer to board that one than we would have in the other line.

Live and learn right??

Back to the Resort and off to bed. We were really starting to wear down.

Only one more day and I wanted to be up early to enjoy it!!

Our Photopass pics.

Look at Matt's face, he was sooooooo getting into this!! I LOVE it!

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

NIKKI did an UPDATE!!!!!!

 

[ILMICKEY]

NIKKI did an UPDATE!!!!!!

All because someone was talking smack!! Keep it up, I might have this thing finished by the end of the week.

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

HHHHMMM ME talk SMACK NEVER!!!! ! Does this mean I have to do it again to get another update!!

 

[ILMICKEY]

Yes, yes you do!! I need that little push to get my butt going!

Wow, check out the number of readers I have verses the number of posts!

Hey Lurkers talk to me. I know you're there!!

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

HEE HHEEEE I gave you some smack on Ty Pre-trippie!!!! I had the same thing more lurkers than anything else. I think you and scottny were the only two to post any comments on a regular basis. Hey you have way more pages than I do! I only had 13 pages and that includes a trip to park safari! And my trip was 10 days

 

[disneyaddicted]

alright lady, it's about time you updated, there could be people out there with no lives (not me though) just waiting for an update. Imagine all those poor souls who couldn't sleep at night (not me though) because Nikki took her sweet time updating. I hope they weren't left with emotional scars.

Nice update, I so want to be on the TTA when Space Mountain breaks down, don't know why, I just think it'd be cool, give me something different to take a picture of.


The Ghosts name at POC is George, you and Brandi should give it a whirl when you go. It never worked for Reese, or maybe George was just annoyed with her yelling through the whole ride "I don't believe in George." and he chose to ignore her, that's what we all did.

Last day of the trip is coming, get out the tissues, those days are hard to report.

 

[b.head2008]

There only had when you dont have anther trip in a few months....

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

HELLO ARE YOU STILL THERE?????
DO I HAVE TO GIVE YOU SOME LIP TO GET ANOTHER UPDATE!!???
It's beeen a week Come on I'm that person that Ty talked about losing sleep because you haven't done an update ... I haven't a life to speak of! I sit and wait for Nikki to update!!

I know, I know. I is just a busy girl.

It was really neat. It kind of reminds me of what a space station would look like. It seems like they would have this "alternate" picture in that window so when it's down it would look like a brand new rollercoaster. If they had to turn on the lights for any reason, they would just slide the picture into place.

The Ghosts name at POC is George, you and Brandi should give it a whirl when you go. It never worked for Reese, or maybe George was just annoyed with her yelling through the whole ride "I don't believe in George." and he chose to ignore her, that's what we all did.

Yeah, that's his name!! He probably wanted to make the ride hurry and get her the heck out of there!

Last day of the trip is coming, get out the tissues, those days are hard to report.

I promise it won't be bad.

I'd like to say we got up early to enjoy this wonderful last day at Disney, but we didn't. After 8 days of go go go, we were plum tuckered out! We didn't sleep too late though.

Late enough that the line was really long for Soarin already. So we fastpassed! I swear the guy/gal that came up with this idea is a bloomin genius! Kudos

While we were waiting for our time to board our hangliders we decided we'd get a little sumpin sumpin from the Food Court. Just a snack. I think I got a bagel, have no recollection of what everyone else had. We just sat there enjoying the morning.

We decided we'd go one last time on the Land ride. I just love this ride. Every time I hear a thunderstorm off in the distance I think of this ride.

By the time the ride was over it was time to use our fastpasses.

Don't you just love walking past all the rookies?? I feel like a rock star!

We get to front and have to stop. There were a few bigger groups in front of us so I was pretty sure we weren't making it this time.

A CM comes up to the groups in front of us and asks if there is any groups of 4.

Nope,

No,

Nope,

YEP!! Woohoo, we are passing the fast passers now!! She takes us further in and we come to yet another line.

"You were at the right place at the right time and we'd like to give you these lanyards with pins"

SCORE!! 2 Dreams, 2 days in a row. Life was good!!!!!!!

Thank you Disney!

After that we went to the Imagination Pavillion. I really really miss the old one. It was brighter, cheerier, and really, more imaginative!

It's kind of boring now. We did run into this guy though.

I don't know why but Matt really really does not like Robin Williams so I had to take the picture of him. I LOVE Robin.

After we were done with the ride we played a little with the computers. It was really hard fitting all of us in this picture. We must have done it 5 times. Sorry, I guess it's gone. It's my avatar though. I wanted to show it bigger. I'll keep looking.

We left there and went up by Spaceship Earth to the Camera shop. I really really wanted an Epcot Camera Strap. NO DICE!!

Matt and I were trying to peek behind the walls around SE. I was really bummed this was closed. We never did get any peeks though.

While waiting for people to use the bathroom I took these.

We had lunch at the Electric Umbrella. Burgers, fries, the usual.

One last ride on Test Track and it was time to go back to the resort for a while. I wanted 1 more time in the pool. It didn't seem like the clouds would cooperate with me for nothin this week. Nikki wanted her tan!! The one from the Florida sun, not the giant coffin she's used to.

So we went back to the room to get changed.
