Our 11 day honeymoon in Disney and DH only fell asleep on 2 rides....

[JJ in wonderland]

This is my first trip report so I hope I keep it interesting
DH (Kevin) and I (Janine) spent 11 wonderful days at the happiest place on earth and left planning another trip. We stayed at All Star Sports which we spent close to no time at.

Some activities we have details and pictures and others just a mention of.

Here is a list of the places we ate and our activities.

Day 1: Arrival and lost luggage, Magic Kingdom, Pecos Bills, and the Wishes dessert party.
Day 2: Epcot, pick a pearl and the Biergarten.
Day 3: Universal IOA, followed by a rainy night at Jellyrolls.
Day 4: Mini Golf at Fantasia, late night at Magic Kingdom, and Casey Corner.
Day 5: Hollywood Studios lots of characters and funnel cake.
Day 6: Breakfast at Kona, shopping at downtown Disney and fireworks from the Polynesian beach.
Day 7: Animal Kingdom and dinner at Jiko.
Day 8: Epcot, behind the seeds tour and drinking and snacking around the world.
Day 9: Sleeping in, Ghirardelli's for a banana split and Yatchman's steak house followed by a night at the boardwalk (DH got picked to help a performer).
Day 10: Magic Kingdom and the Keys to the Kingdom tour
Day 11: Breakfast at Grand Floridian cafe (which was supposed to be at Kona) then a lot of relaxing and worrying about making it home before the hurricane (which we did make it home for, and finally after 6 days got power back yesterday)

When we arrived at Orlando airport (at 10am) we found it so easy finding the magical express and our bus came very quickly! We were just so excited to be at Disney, and we found a towel Mickey waiting for us.

After exploring all the all star resorts we figured our luggage would be waiting in our room so we went to shower and get ready to go to magic Kingdom! We got back to the room only to find our luggage was not there, so I hopped in the shower (it was a hot day and I was all gross) only to get out to no luggage and no clean clothing. I called down and got connected to baggage and lets just say after hours of calling (and some screaming) we needed to get to magic kingdom for our reservation without our luggage making it to our room, but when I went to the front desk because I was so upset about the situation the women felt so bad (my favorite dress I was planning to wear for the dessert party was in the suitcase ) she ended up having me get a new shirt from the gift shop along with new toothbrushes and deodorant.

So on with my new shirt and off to magic kingdom, which wasn't the same without knowing that my clothing were okay so I spent the time in between rides calling and screaming on the phone in the middle of the park. Kevin was laughing at all the looks I was getting (I am a New Yorker and oh boy am I told I sound like one when I get mad and I talk so fast most people do not even understand me) But finally our luggague were found and we were guaranteed that they made it the room...YAY what a relief!!!! So off to a few rides followed by the Wishes Dessert party.

DH LOVED the dessert party, I also enjoyed it, it was such a nice view of the castle and the fireworks and there were plenty of delicious desserts. It was definitely worth the money but not something we would do every time.

These were just one of our plates we had the pistachio creme brulee, the vanilla and the chocolate mousse, chocolate covered strawberries, apple tart, tiramisu, cannoli and DH's favortie the mango shooters (which he had at least 5 of) We also had the fresh fruit and a brownie. The only negative is that you can not see the parade but it is a great view of the castle.

When we got back to the room the best surprise was waiting for us.....

OUR LUGGAGE!!!!!!!!!

Our second day we headed off to Epcot, but first eating a quick breakfast at the resort (the breakfast platter). It was nothing special but one was enough to fill up both Kevin and I. Then off to catch our bus to Epcot and when we arrived the park was still pretty empty, and the weather seemed to be very nice.

We went right to do the future land rides, my favorite was the imagination one with figment and test track was DH's (which he went on alone.) We also found living with the land very interesting and decided that when we came back to Epcot the next week we would do the behind the seeds tour.

Next we headed over to the Club cool to try some soda from around the world, I did not tell DH about the beverly because I was so tempted to see his face. He was no fun and actually enjoyed it, I sipped it very careful. It wasn't horrible but it was not good.

It was starting to get very cloudy so we head to the world showcase and decided to start at Canada and then it started to downpour and we went to go see the Oh Canada show. (DH and I enjoyed the shows in all the countries that had them.) We got out and it was still pouring so we went around the gift shops and when it just wouldn't stop coming down we decided to make our way to United Kingdom.

It was coming down so hard that people in ponchos and with umbrellas didn't even want to leave the stores. At this point we still had two hours before our biergarten reservation and it would not stop raining so we ran to France for some wine and then DH decided he wanted to go to Japan to pick some pearls for me .

I have to take some pictures of what he picked and made for me so part two to come later tonight or tomorrow

Sorry it took so long, I finally got my photopass in the mail today! The picture came out very nice.

So when I ended part 1 we were heading over to Japan to pick pearls. DH picked the first pearl and we picked a second one together. His was a 7mm blue pearl and mine a 7mm gold pearl, which he wanted to make into a necklace for me so we picked a setting. It came out so pretty and the whole thing was a lot of fun. While we waited for the necklace we walked around japan and a few other country gift shops to kill time.

After we got the necklace we headed for Germany and our Beirgarten ADR. We were seated pretty quickly and we sat with two girls who did not speak english but seemed very nice and during the show were more then willing to clank glasses with us. The food was very good and a nice amount of cold and hot salads, meats and sausages. We were able to find more then enough food to eat and could not get enough of the delicious pretzel bread. I had the beer flight, my favorite was the Altenmünster Oktoberfest and Kevin got the liter of the Schöfferhofer Weizen.

After our late lunch we tried to get country to country without getting soaked, which didn't work so well but we made the best of it.

It was coming to illuminations time which I was so excited for since it was my first time seeing it. We went back to Germany for some snacks for when we sat and waited. We got from the caramel shop a piece of dark chocolate covered caramel and a rice crispy treat with drizzled caramel on it. I am so glad I do not have a picture because I am drooling enough just thinking about it. It was soooooo good. In the first picture you can see that it was sitting not the best weather (there is a lightening bolt)

After our return to our resort we found this waiting for us in the window.

Day 3 to come....Islands of adventure (which was a tramatic experience for me) and a night at Jelly rolls.
