NO Flash photography!! A Mom and Daughter(s) TR Sep 20010 update 12/6 link to PTR

What's up with no clean towels? I gotta have changed towels everyday! That's so cool that you got to stay at CR. I would love to stay there!

Girl needs some clean towels especially when it is so hot. it was a really cool place.

 

[MaryAz]

Mary, you know how I feel about this and how awful I feel. I'm just so happy that you were able to move and that the rest of your resort stay was good. We had the opposite experience...our last two visits at the CR many years ago we had really horrid CM's. It just goes to show it, unfortunately, that it happens at ever resort (although it shouldn't happen at any of them).



MeMom, you are so right. It distresses me when I read that someone had to deal with a rude CM at the CSR (or any resort for that matter). It breaks my heart, especially when we've had nine outstanding visits.



Tim, you have no idea how upset I was by all of this.

Kathy you don't need to feel bad. Like you said there are unmagical CM's everyone. But those are few are far between. The time at the hotel was only a small fraction of our vacation. meeting you guys and Queen and Jas made it so magical.

 

[MaryAz]

I hate that you had a bad experience. Amanda is rethinking her honeymoon hotel choice.

Thanks Dana. Tell Amanda that like many have said you can have a unmagical experience anywhere. Many really like CSR-just not my cup of tea.

 

[MaryAz]

So sorry to hear about the run-around you received at CSR! What a pain, and so not typical of the Disney experience.

Thanks Jackie. nope, not typical.

 

[MaryAz]

Oh man, I was afraid your last sentence would hold something awful and it certainly did. I hated to read about the painting, virtually non-existent mousekeeping and the rude CMs. There's no call for rudeness no matter which resort you choose to stay in.

I'm hoping that you're going to post that your counter service credits magically reappeared and that you didn't lose them all.

Sorry to be ominous. It was just to many things going wrong. Well, you can hope

 

[MaryAz]

Even though we knew all about your horrid experience, it made me mad all over again when I read it! I hope all is well and Jasmine said to give the girls hugs from her!

Thanks for listening to me vent then and now. Girlies sending hugs right back.

 

[MaryAz]

We went the opposite Contemporary to CSR. Never recovered. The Contemporary staff was top notch, we loved our stay there. CSR, not so much. So sorry about all the trouble!

We also really liked the CR. Thanks.

 

[MaryAz]

so sorry you guys had such a terrible experience all the way around at CSR; hoping to hear that the rest of your stay was magical and to be on the monorail line should have made for smoother travels....can't wait to hear how you spread a little magic with your dining credits...
Connie

Thanks. We did have a magical time overall. I tried to not let them go to waste.

Just out of Lurkdom and I am really enjoying your TR.

Just read your update about the switch from CSR to CR - what a horrible and stressful time! I am glad to hear it sounds like things turn around at the CR though! That is a shame about the CS credits expiring that night - but it sounds like you were a Fairy DISMother at MK that night treating people to meals.

I read the update with the Morman boys too. I love that you convinced them to try Beverly and then took pictures of the random strangers! Good job on tricking the girls again. Henry is so getting some in Feb/March, muahahahaha!

 

[MEK]

Sorry that you had to transfer to CSR under less than magical circumstances. That is really quite a shame, but I am glad that you were ultimately happy with the transfer. It has to be so frustrating to waste all that time.

to a 3 hour nap!

Thanks We were happy with our new home. It was a little frustrating since that was going to be our AK day.

You snuck in Brook. it was a pain but we really liked the CR. I tried to give more away but was unable. They were pretty funny. I can't wait to see how Henry likes it

Tues Sep 21st
MNSSHP

We recieved our luggage and the girls changed into their costumes. Avery was Ariel and Cayley a pink princess. They each had glittery shoes. We hopped on the monorail and made our way to the MK. We went in, got our bags and map and headed to Casey's for dinner. I looked around to see who I could share my dining credits with. I found 3 nice ladies who were not on the dining plan. They were a little shocked at first but did let me buy them dinner. We sat outside and had our dinner. I had some yummy nuggets in honor of Brook. The ladies came over during dinner to thank me again and try to give the girls their desserts-um no way-they will be collecting candy tonight......

After dinner we made our way to the Flying Carpets

Some scenes from the ride

Next we headed over to POTC, now was the time we needed to get in line for the pic with the Seven Dawarfs. Neither girl wanted to. Ok fine. On to the HM

This lady-Madame someone was hilarious. She would complain about the smoke and have a coughing fit.

Next we ventured to Toontown to see the Princesses and Fairies but first we ran into a candy station

First up was Sleeping and her Man

Then Cinderella and her Prince

And last Snow and her Dude

Guess where we went next?????

 

[MaryAz]

Yep, you guessed it, the fairies

First up was Rosetta

Then Tink

Last was Vidia

Out in the store they had a cute little game

Took this pumpkin pic on the way out of Toontown

We then went on Peter Pan and the HM again. After Cayley met her Idol Jessie. She was a little nervous at first

So Avery went first

Then Cayley looked at her

Then, she got her dance on

She was so excited to meet her!!

We then went and got a place for Hallowishes and our new favorite parade!!!! Which you will see pics of in my next update!!

 

[KatMark]

Mary, what a geat update. Along with Juliana, your girls are the most beautiful princesses I have ever seen.Please tell them they looked very pretty for us. You got to see quite a few princesses and fairies.

I sent you a message on FB because I deleted my messages and forgot to write down your address for the girls Christmas gift.

Love Cayley dancing with Jessie.

great update!! How nice of you to share your DDP credits!!!! My friends and I were at MK the one night and were given EMH wrist bands from a family who wasn't using them and went home. It was very sweet of them and we stayed for an extra hour, not the 3 but still, it was a sweet thought..same as yours!!! Gotta love the magic!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

fun update Mary! the girls are so cute!!! and how very magical of you to share dinner with new friends!
Connie

 

[MEK]

Awesome update. The girls look adorable in their princess costumes/dresses. How wonderful of you to treat some other ladies to dinner. That was such a nice gesture.

It looks like you are all having a wonderful time at the party. I love all the princess and fairy pictures.

I bet that monorail came in handy for the trip home. I know it did for me!
