One Mom and Three Kids Tackle the World in a Week - Dec '09 Trip Report - Complete :)

[Mndisneygirl]

You guys are serious about those thrill rides!!! I'd be wishing I was the pregnant sister! I don't do those crazy rides! HA! I used to go on roller coasters, but not so much any more, definitely not upside down or the up and down of ToT! DD8 would like it if it were smaller - she loves going on the Frog Hopper.

I'm impressed you got to go on so many rides so many times too! What a fun day/morning. I'm curious to see what happens in terms of Pizza Planet. Hmmm...

LOL!! After three rides right in a row on ToT, I was sort of wishing I was the pregnant sister too. Thanks for reading Sheree!

I can't believe how much you got done!

I have a hard time navigating DHS, too. I have no sense of direction to begin with so I'm glad to know that someone else also has a problem with it and it's not just me.

I love the LMA show. I can't wait for the Osborne light pictures, I am dying to see that for myself one day!

Oh geez! Give me a map and GPS and I promise you I will still get lost. Seriously, I'm really bad at direction. So, you are NOT alone! I have light pictures and a video in my next update! If you can ever get there to see them, do so. They are gorgeous!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Another great update! YAY for more DHS!!

Love the TOT picture!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

I am another one who has a hard time navigating DHS. I can follow maps, GPS, have a good sense of direction, but I never know which way to go there!! LOL!
Maybe I just need to spend more time there!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

That's funny! I think DHS is very small and very easy to navigate!

That's b/c you are there a lot! Actually I think it is small too, I just think the layout is just not simple enough for me!

 

[Charleston Princess]

One day I hope to get in Lights, Motors, Action! I know my family would love it!

Thrill ride after thrill ride! I am in awe!

Thrill ride after thrill ride! I am in awe!

Connor will love it! I hope you can fit it into the summer trip.

Ok, so I thought I had subscribed, but either I didn't or it got messed up or something??? Anywho I am back and all caught up now!!

Looks like you guys are having a great trip even with a few bumps. I think those come with just about any trip. I didn't know they did the campfire at OKW as we did it at Fort Wilderness last summer. It's a bummer that they didn't have it but nice that they gave you the s'mores kit. I think we dropped 10 bucks for ours!!

You got some great pictures even though your camera wasn't fully operational! I am loving reading your report. My DS would love to be with you guys-he's a thrill ride junkie as well. I think he rode ToT 10 times last summer!!

Oh, and another person with no sense of direction reporting in! I know DHS is small but I get turned around too. Now I just always head for the hat and figure my way from there!

Looking forward to more!

 

[brookelizabeth]

Wow! You got a ton done!!! Love that!

I have a hard time navigating DHS as well - I just get turned around easier for some reason.

Hmmm....Pizza Planet before Osborne Lights. I'm wondering if it was just PACKED in there since it's so close to Osborne Lights.

Or perhaps the kids were too enamored with the arcade games to care about the Osborne Lights...

 

[Nancy for Disney]

Another great update. Thanks for sharing those Honey I Shrunk the Kids Playgraound pictures. Would you believe that is the first time I have seen pictures of the playground.

 

[KathyRN137]

Hmmm. I'm thinking the same thing as Brook. I'll bet Pizza Planet was simply packed. Plus, how hard is it to pull kids away from those arcade games?!

So glad you got to ride the thrillers to your hearts' content!

I don't know if my stomach could handle ToT three times in a row, though!

Me too! When I was out in Ohio last May visiting family, I got lost trying to get coffee at a McDonalds that was about five minutes away. I couldn't find it, and then I got completely turned around trying to go back, then the GPS didn't find the right hotel (I punched in the name but it came up with another Candlewood Suites, not the one we were staying at.) I was on some highway trying not to freak out when my dad texted me with "you lost?," because I had been gone for 45 minutes at that point and my grandmother was waiting for us, and the hotel that we were staying at is a good half hour from where she lives...oh...it was a mess. It's funny now but it was so bad at the time. Luckily when my grandmother asked why we were late, all my dad had to say was, "Meghan got a little lost when she went out to get coffee," and everyone left it at that.

 

[RinkyTinkyTinky]

You are a very brave lady! How did you ride TOT and RNRC so many times?

You got some great pictures in the play area. It is very hard to keep up with your kids in there. My DH and I only had one to keep up with and it was difficult!

Looks like a great day. Interested to hear about Pizza Planet??????

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Another great update! YAY for more DHS!!

Love the TOT picture!

Thank you!! We were screaming!

I am another one who has a hard time navigating DHS. I can follow maps, GPS, have a good sense of direction, but I never know which way to go there!! LOL!
Maybe I just need to spend more time there!

Ok, so glad I am not alone. During our trip, I asked many a CM how to get to wherever we were going.

That's funny! I think DHS is very small and very easy to navigate!

What? I'm taking you with me then next time!

That's b/c you are there a lot! Actually I think it is small too, I just think the layout is just not simple enough for me!

Ok, this means we must go to DHS more! Another reason to make another trip my friends.

One day I hope to get in Lights, Motors, Action! I know my family would love it!

Thrill ride after thrill ride! I am in awe!

Connor would love LMA. If you can fit it in, I sure would. My girls even enjoyed it so it wasn't only for the boys.

Connor will love it! I hope you can fit it into the summer trip.

Me too!

Awesome! Thank you for reading. We did have a few bumps but it was so worth it.

We did get a ton done. It was such a great morning! I'll update on Pizza Planet next. It definitely did not go as I planned.

Another great update. Thanks for sharing those Honey I Shrunk the Kids Playgraound pictures. Would you believe that is the first time I have seen pictures of the playground.

That was the first time we had been in the HISTK playground too. It was neat and had some fun theming.

Thanfully we are all thrill riders and the rides were right up our alley! Woot!

Me too! When I was out in Ohio last May visiting family, I got lost trying to get coffee at a McDonalds that was about five minutes away. I couldn't find it, and then I got completely turned around trying to go back, then the GPS didn't find the right hotel (I punched in the name but it came up with another Candlewood Suites, not the one we were staying at.)

Luckily when my grandmother asked why we were late, all my dad had to say was, "Meghan got a little lost when she went out to get coffee," and everyone left it at that.

Oh no!!! Coffee might be close to being worth the hassle though. I'm a big coffee lover! LOL! We can't help it we are directionally challenged!

You are a very brave lady! How did you ride TOT and RNRC so many times?

We just kept on a'going. The kids didn't want to stop! It was tough to keep an eye on all three of them. I always worry about someone trying to steal one of them, anywhere we go. I'm a worrier like that! The Pizza Planet update will be next! Hopefully tomorrow.

 

[Lovemy3babes]

I got an email today from Disney Destinations!! Aren't those so exciting to see in your email inbox?! Too bad we can't use it. It's only for travel between 5/2/10 - 8/14/10. Nope, can't go then. The discount wasn't so hot either. 15% off values, 20% off mods, 25% off deluxe and 30% off of Deluxe Villas. Bummer! I'm still hopeful for something super for 10/2010 so we can get back a year earlier than currently planned!

Loving your TR.....you have some great pictures. If you think your camera mishap was bad mine is worse...I LOST my camera the last day we were there. Over 700 pics..gone poof!! And you would think in DISNEY I might find an honest soul who would say oh this poor family...nope its been 2 months and still they havent had one turned in. Thank god for Photopass!!!!
