"One More Waffle!" An October 2011 TR! *Update 4/24, pg 70-The End!*

[Missyrose]

Yay! I'm glad you made a decision about your 2012 trip to Disney! It's a great plan to go in September (you can use your APs AND get the AP discount to stay at a deluxe resort!). Can't wait to see which resort you choose.

What a fun time at AK!

 

[Simba22]

YAY! for making a 2012 Trip Decision!!
(yes that gets caps because it's a serious event!)

and YAY that you had so much fun at AK! We LOVE that park and literally spend all day there.

Your PP pic is NOT terrible! I think it's cute! I had to tell my BF to stop putting his arm around me like that too because for some reason it made me look HUGE compared to him...like he was trying to hug a giant or something!

 

[ronnmel]

I love Dinosaur, so I'm glad you guys tried it again and loved it.

 

[Shannon84]

Have you guys picked dates for September?? Thats the month we are getting married down at Disney yay for making a decision!! and a great one

I am so glad you guys liked Dinosaur better this time around...I love that ride...though I dont really like the other parts of Dinoland

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those jalapeno pretzels there, yum!!

Ps I have Lotso...love him in vinylmation form, but hate him in the movie

 

[pld5]

but subscribing. And now going to read your December TR, too.

Love the WL photos and also the DHS at night photos.

I go next week and am already trying to determine the best time to return in the event that we get a bounceback offer!

 

[DisneyDreamerMN]

DH and I also never really spend any time at AK. I would like to try Flame Tree BBQ sometime though, so I am sure we will be back.

Don't you think the pretzel would taste even better with some kind of dip? I really liked it but I felt it needed a specialty cheese sauce or something.

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Hahaha it's so weird how the most normal poses can look totally strange in pictures. The arm around the shoulders thing never works for us either, don't worry!

Ooooh cream cheese pretzel! Yeah, I wouldn't want to share either!

 

[amazingact21]

Okay, so I have to admit, I laughed out loud at your comment about Brandon's arm in the PP picture. I thought it was a nice picture. (Aside from the friendly arm.)

Glad you tried Dinosaur and enjoyed it this time around. That little girl looks like she was using Brandon as a shield. And her dad's just letting her!

It sounds like you two had a nice, relazing AK day.

 

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

Sorry I wasn't here to weigh in on the Disney dilemma! I think you made the right choice, though! That was going to be my advice. We much prefer longer trips, especially if only going once means we can stay deluxe.

I can't believe the CM didn't know who Losto was! I love that little area outside of EE, too! We always find ourselves stopping there to watch the people scream as they come down the hill.

 

[Mrs T 2009]

YAY for going in September And you can still use your APs right?

I'm not a fan of the ride DINOSAUR and we spend a bit of time in Dino-rama so Rylan can play in the Boneyard and ride the triceratop spin. He has a lot of fun which makes it fun for us

How could you work at Disney and not know a character? Just amazed me!

Our last visit Rylan and I stood in that watching area outside of EE while my husband and his family rode the ride. Rylan got a kick out of all the screaming people and being able to see them! LOL

 

[oboedm]

Subbing! Can't wait to see more of WDW in October! We plan to go in Oct 2013!

 

[Nermel9]

Hahaha, did you notice the guy photo bombing your picture of Brandon's sandwich?

I definitely need one of those pretzels! And I will be sure to get my own- I just know sharing it will make me mad!

Haha, I did notice when I put it up! Some guy tried to do that at LTT too, when I was taking a picture of food! I think after this day, I realized it was a lot easier to take pictures of food with my phone, because everyone just assumes you're texting or something. I feel like such an idiot taking pictures of food, but it has to be done!

Definitely get a pretzel, they are SO good!

I love discovering new things in Animal Kingdom too. It's becoming one of my favorite parks.

You know that jalapeno pretzel has my name on it. I want one right now.

AK is still my least favorite park, but that's just because I love the other 3 SO much! I really like AK more and more though, there's always something new to see!

That pretzel is so good! I wish I had one right now too!

Glad you gave Dinosaur a second try! It is fun!
Mmmm, never tried one of those pretzels, but I'll definitely have to next trip! Nobody does snacks like Disney!

Dinosaur was fun, I'm glad we tried it again! You have to get a pretzel, it's just one of those things you can only get at Disney! I think they have them in the other parks too, but I've heard they're not as good as the AK ones!

Yay! I'm glad you made a decision about your 2012 trip to Disney! It's a great plan to go in September (you can use your APs AND get the AP discount to stay at a deluxe resort!). Can't wait to see which resort you choose.

What a fun time at AK!

Ahhh, I wish the AP discounts would come out soon! I want to book my trip NOW and it would be so much easier to book with a discount!

It was definitely a fun time in AK, we're really starting to love this park! Only took 4 years!

YAY! for making a 2012 Trip Decision!!
(yes that gets caps because it's a serious event!)

and YAY that you had so much fun at AK! We LOVE that park and literally spend all day there.

Your PP pic is NOT terrible! I think it's cute! I had to tell my BF to stop putting his arm around me like that too because for some reason it made me look HUGE compared to him...like he was trying to hug a giant or something!

It WAS a serious event! I'm starting to second guess myself though...2 trips this year is sounding pretty good right about now. But Brandon said no and I guess that's final, so again, I'm happy with September!

I could probably spend all day at AK now if we didn't have any plans at night! I wish they would bring back evening magic hours there, I really want to do EE at night!

Ugh, I don't like any of the AK PP pics we got that day! That was seriously the best one out of like, 5! We even did a Tink magic shot and it was awful!

I love Dinosaur, so I'm glad you guys tried it again and loved it.

I'm glad too, it's a lot of fun! We'll definitely go on it again!

Have you guys picked dates for September?? Thats the month we are getting married down at Disney yay for making a decision!! and a great one

I am so glad you guys liked Dinosaur better this time around...I love that ride...though I dont really like the other parts of Dinoland

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those jalapeno pretzels there, yum!!

Ps I have Lotso...love him in vinylmation form, but hate him in the movie

Thanks, I'm excited about September, I can't WAIT for park hours to come out! As of now, our dates are 9/22-9/30! Value season, but also the beginning of Food and Wine! Yay for your wedding being that month, I wish I had a Fall wedding, we're such Fall people, it's weird to me that I got married in the Spring!

Dinosaur was fun, but Dinoland is just strange! I mean, it's cute but it doesn't seem Disney-ish to me!

I love my Lotso Vinyl too, I don't know why, because I hate him in the movie! I want a stuffed Lotso too, it really smells like strawberries! I'd just pretend he was a nice Lotso, before he turned into a jerk!

I go next week and am already trying to determine the best time to return in the event that we get a bounceback offer!

Welcome! You're not late, I still have half the trip to write about ! Thanks for joining!

Thanks, I love my WL, it's my favorite Disney resort! And DHS at night is beautiful!

You will probably get a bounceback offer, we got one in December. I almost booked for September while I was there, but for some reason, I didn't. I personally like going in the Fall the best, September-November is my favorite time to go, but December is fun too, if you want to see the Christmas decorations!

DH and I also never really spend any time at AK. I would like to try Flame Tree BBQ sometime though, so I am sure we will be back.

Don't you think the pretzel would taste even better with some kind of dip? I really liked it but I felt it needed a specialty cheese sauce or something.

Flame Tree is really good, next time we go I'll have to get something of my own! I used to hate AK, but I've learned to really love it!

Haha, I didn't think that pretzel needed anything, it was perfect! However, have you had the cream cheese pretzel in MK? I thought that desperately needed SALT! I couldn't even finish it, because it made me wish for a salt shaker, I love sweet and salty together, and that was too sweet!

Hahaha it's so weird how the most normal poses can look totally strange in pictures. The arm around the shoulders thing never works for us either, don't worry!

Ooooh cream cheese pretzel! Yeah, I wouldn't want to share either!

Haha, oh good, I really thought it was just us! I think I told Brandon a few times in December not to do that but he always forgets, and we get these creepy pictures together!

That pretzel is so good, I really didn't want to share, but I had to be nice...you know, after I yelled at him to get his own!

Okay, so I have to admit, I laughed out loud at your comment about Brandon's arm in the PP picture. I thought it was a nice picture. (Aside from the friendly arm.)

Glad you tried Dinosaur and enjoyed it this time around. That little girl looks like she was using Brandon as a shield. And her dad's just letting her!

It sounds like you two had a nice, relazing AK day.

Haha, ugh, he always does that when we take pictures! I didn't like that picture at all, I thought I looked like I was melting...it was pretty hot by then, but it wasn't that bad! I looked terrible!

Yeah, I don't get why that girl did that, Brandon said she did it the whole time! It was cute, though!

Sorry I wasn't here to weigh in on the Disney dilemma! I think you made the right choice, though! That was going to be my advice. We much prefer longer trips, especially if only going once means we can stay deluxe.

I can't believe the CM didn't know who Losto was! I love that little area outside of EE, too! We always find ourselves stopping there to watch the people scream as they come down the hill.

That's ok! I think we made the right choice too...I'm like, 90% sure! I'm really going to miss going in May, but I really like September! And I love staying in the deluxes!

I know, isn't that strange, how can you not know who Lotso is??? You work at Disney!!!

That little area outside of EE is so cute! I stopped there again in December for a few minutes!

YAY for going in September And you can still use your APs right?

I'm not a fan of the ride DINOSAUR and we spend a bit of time in Dino-rama so Rylan can play in the Boneyard and ride the triceratop spin. He has a lot of fun which makes it fun for us

How could you work at Disney and not know a character? Just amazed me!

Our last visit Rylan and I stood in that watching area outside of EE while my husband and his family rode the ride. Rylan got a kick out of all the screaming people and being able to see them! LOL

Yep, we can still use our AP's, which was a huge factor in picking September!

I think if I had a kid, I'd spend some time in Dinoland and the Boneyard, but now, I just have no use for it!

I know, isn't that strange! And Lotso, of all characters! He's like, the worst villain ever!

That area outside of EE is so cute, I love hearing everyone scream! Kind of like when you walk down the street at DHS and hear all the screams from ToT!

Subbing! Can't wait to see more of WDW in October! We plan to go in Oct 2013!

Welcome! You will love WDW in October, it's so much fun, with the Halloween decorations and Food and Wine, it's a great time to go!

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Okay, you have GOT to stop saying every picture you post of the two of you is terrible!! Who cares! I think you look great because you are having fun in Disney World!! So stop it!

So glad you ventured to Dinoland and gave Dinosaur another try. It's one of our favorite rides. So much fun. And I felt the same way about Dinoland first until I did a little research. A lot of people think, how could Disney put something so cheesy and ridiculous in one of their parks but it's totally on purpose! It's themed to be like the roadside attractions that popped up across the country. It all fits together - the ride, the shop, the fair-type attractions. There's a HUGE backstory behind it all. It's almost like it was themed TOO well that most people don't get it.

 

[IheartDDuck]

Hahaha, I missed the whole debate about what you should do, so I'll resist weighing in. I'm glad that you've made a decision though and that you're happy with it. I love going in September also. Makes me realize that I haven't been there in September in a while...

I'm glad you went back on Dinosaur! I love that ride. I don't know why, but I love it.

 

[KatMark]

I thought I was cracking up as I just read an AK update; then I realized you had two TR's going on.

Great photos at EE; I love Dinosaur...one of my favorite things at AK.

What Disney app to you use? I got a new Iphone and got the Undercover Tourist app.

 

[TanzUnited99]

Yay on riding EE though it feels like deja vu after reading your other update!

That's great that you both gave Dinosaur another chance - love the ride photo!

Mmm that Jalapeno Pretzel is SOOO good - I shared mine as well and wish I hadn't!!

 

[Nermel9]

Okay, you have GOT to stop saying every picture you post of the two of you is terrible!! Who cares! I think you look great because you are having fun in Disney World!! So stop it!

Haha, awww, thanks! I can't help it though, I'm never happy with pictures that I'm in but I will try to keep it to a minimum from now on!

Dinosaur was fun! I don't remember why we didn't like it the first time we went on, but we really, really disliked it! I think because back then, I wasn't a DIS-er yet, and I went by my trusty Birnbaum's Official Disney World guide, and he hyped that ride SOOOO much that I think I was a little let down by it! But now I can appreciate it for what it is, it's definitely fun!

That's interesting about Dinoland! I'll have to look into it more! I mean, it's cute, but it just seems like a kid area, but maybe I will appreciate it more if I know the meaning behind it!

Hahaha, I missed the whole debate about what you should do, so I'll resist weighing in. I'm glad that you've made a decision though and that you're happy with it. I love going in September also. Makes me realize that I haven't been there in September in a while...

I'm glad you went back on Dinosaur! I love that ride. I don't know why, but I love it.

I am happy with it, except, Brandon has been basically saying "make this trip the best one ever because we're not going next year" lately, so that makes me think...ok, well let's do 2 trips...they would cost basically the same amount of $$, so I don't see what the problem is! But he's saying no. So I guess we're still going in September! You should go in September again!

I'm glad we did Dinosaur again too, I love rediscovering Disney rides! We didn't like Test Track for a while either, but now we love it! I can't wait to try the refurbed version!

I thought I was cracking up as I just read an AK update; then I realized you had two TR's going on.

Great photos at EE; I love Dinosaur...one of my favorite things at AK.

What Disney app to you use? I got a new Iphone and got the Undercover Tourist app.

Haha, yeah, I know, that was poorly planned! And those are the only 2 AK updates for both TR's too, strange they were at the same time!

Thanks! Dinosaur is fun, I like how it's kind of museum-y in the beginning, too!

I have tons of Disney apps...WDW Dining, WDW Waits, WDW Hidden Mickeys, WDW Hours, WDW Lines (which is Touring Plans)...I also have a Disneyland dining app, you know, just in case I ever go there! I like the Dining and the Lines one the best, but the Hidden Mickeys one is fun too, if you're waiting in a long line!

Yay on riding EE though it feels like deja vu after reading your other update!

That's great that you both gave Dinosaur another chance - love the ride photo!

Mmm that Jalapeno Pretzel is SOOO good - I shared mine as well and wish I hadn't!!

Haha, I know, I tried to keep the 2nd AK update brief because I had a feeling people would be reading both at the same time!

Haha, thanks, I actually like that ride photo too, I usually think they're awful!

Yeah, next time, I'm telling Brandon to get his own pretzel, seriously, they're not for sharing!

 

[Dugette]

Okay, all caught up! I was so far behind that I don't remember most of what I wanted to say anymore! Oh, well. I will say that those photos with the bunnies are rather awkward! Perhaps the bunnies were having a domestic dispute that you interrupted. I'm glad you decided on a future WDW trip plan and are taking advantage of the APs...it would drive me crazy to have them and not use them.

Haha, aren't they awful? They probably were fighting, silly bunnies!

I'm glad we're using our AP's too, I would have been SO mad if I bought them for nothing! I just wish the Fall discounts would be released already, I want to book my trip! I can't bring myself to make a ticker until I'm booked!
