Not Going June 2011, Going in April 2012!!!

So we finally leave RPDE, and head off to Epcot. We did Test Track & Mission Space. The line for Mission Space for the advance (can't remember what color) was super long, but the milder one was a 5 min wait, so we did that one. While we were doing those rides, my MIL & SIL took Brady to the KidCot Stops:

Up next we did Figment & after the ride we took these pics:

After that it was time for us to go find Nemo!

After this we did Turtle Talk with Crush. Crush picked Brady to asked a question! Brady was awestruck & couldn't say a word. It was so cute!

After that we did Innoventions:

After this, we headed back to the resort. Some fun time at Epcot huh? I was not happy. We never made it past Future World. I was livid. And I bet you are wondering where the PP pics are at. There are a total of 10 on this trip. Yes, 10. I will include them at the end. Up next Animal Kingdom, Bus Rides & the PP Pics. Maybe after you finish reading this trip, you will understand how much I wanted to go just our family & why I alone wanted to plan it out.

Great updates! The RPDE sounds like a snoozefest to me, but my Dad would love it! It was cool to see the pics of Ben getting out of the car, though. He looked so excited!

Loving the Epcot pics! I did the intense version of Mission:Space once and I'm never doing it again. It made me feel like my chest was collapsing because of all of the pressure.

Ben said the intense version took his breath away.

Btw, anyone know where I can download the song "One Little Spark"? You know the one from Figment?

Such a sweet picture of Koby and Shelby!

The RPDE looked, well um, like fun, atleast for Ben and you FIL. You and the boys should have just headed to Epcot on your own and had some real fun! For getting there at 5, you were able to do quite a few things. I wouldn't have been happy either on not getting out of future world. You live and you learn. You were lucky enough to get back again and now you have a 2nd family trip in the making.

Thanks! I love that pic!

I was going to go to Epcot, but I didn't want to go alone. I wanted Ben there with me. Next time, if there ever is a next time, I know where I am going & what I am doing so I will go alone!

Now I don't really remember too much. I know we did Expedition Everest, It's Tough to be a Bug, Kali River Rapids, and the Safaris. Somewhere along the way, my MIL took this pic of Brady:

We headed to Dinoland & rode Primevil Whirl:

While waiting to eat:

And they got to play here:

Now I remember leaving & feeling so very sad. Ben asked me how I enjoyed my first trip to WDW & I said I loved it, but next time we go, just our family. He said he totally agreed. I had no idea that it would take me 3 years to get back there!

Tomorrow: bus rides & the PP pics!

Yay!! AK is so much fun...I love riding Dinosaur, and John loves making fun of the look on my face in the picture everytime!

I can't wait to meet characters dressed in Christmas outfits on this trip! I am definitely preordering the PP CD!!

Sorry I wasn't much help with the music last night, I couldn't find any good songs!

My stress reliever is planning trips...whether I ever go on it or not! I have been to Disney several times and planned all of the trips except the first (but I was 11 so that probably didn't count!). When I think about going on someone else's plan...that stresses me!!! I think I have a trip-planning control problem! But I totally understand, when you are on someone else's plan it just isn't the same! Even when people go with you and you planned, you still have to work with their opinions and those don't always jive with yours!

We had issues last trip, but it was so nice to do what I wanted, when I wanted & not go by someone else's itinerary!

Hey girl, just wanted you to know that I'm here and am all caught up again. I am really enjoying all of the pics from your previous trip. Every time I see a picture of your boys, I can't believe how much they have grown.

Amazing isn't it. And to think it was only 3 years ago! Time flies by!

So there you have it. My first trip to Disney. The trip that made me determined to do it again, but on my own terms, that led me to be a Disney junkie! I hope you have enjoyed my mini TR! I now return you to your regularly scheduled PTR!
