Our Anniversary Week at the Happiest Place on Earth!! TR DONE 8/30 SOUVENIR POST SOON

[MeMom]

Chris found his gummies and I picked up a bag of Chip n Dale trail mix.

We walked back to the room and I briefly wrote in my trip journal and then set our wake up call. Within minutes we were both zonked out after another wonderful, tiring day in the World.

I got a Mickey waffle and bacon and Chris got a western omlet with home fries. We filled our mug with lemonade again since there was no juice.

Thanks to the DIS I know this is the way to head if you want to get on TSM without a ridiculous wait or a FP.


I WON! I WON! I was even shocked myself and I totally rubbed it in pretty bad! He tried to blame it on the DIS that I found some hidden way to win but I didn't! I won fair and square! TSM is now on my top 5 favorite rides in WDW! We loved it!!!

After we were done on TSM we checked out the FP line and it was much better so we grabbed some with a return from 12:20-1:20...at 9:25 am! I now understand the true meaning of the fact that you must get to TSM early or you will wait LIGHT YEARS to ride it.

Chip and Dale's Trail Mix - a yummy little snack.
They make a mean little bag of pretzels, too!

Good for you for keeping up with your journal.

A good Disney zonk-out is an easy thing at the end of a long Disney day!

The Mickey waffle looks good!

The DIS - where you learn all the secrets to getting on the rides in a timely fashion...and all the secrets to beating non-Disers on said rides.

great update kristen! and great pictures! I so wanted to do TSM but by the time we got to it all the fass passes were gone and the wait was over 45 min! So thats on our list this time!! The day we arrive DHS has evening EMH so thats going to be first on the list!

 

[wdwgirl03]

TSM is such a great ride. Love it! And good for you beating Chris!

Maybe I missed it but do you know what was going on with that HSM thing in front of the hat?

 

[hlrababy]

We have never been to DQ! It sounds so much fun, but I get motion sickness now and it drives me crazy because I used to be able to do anything!!!!!

 

[xoktenox]

hahaha

Happy for you that you beat Chris hehe

Yesss I was so excited and shocked! I never expected to beat him LOL

Hurray for updates!!! I don't think I have ever been in the Candy Cauldron -- at least not since we entered the new millenium. Those marshmallow treats look yummy -- Chelsea has tried some of the other ones, but we haven't tried any coconut ones -- mmmmm....

I also wouldn't mind a Mickey waffle right now! Must be time to start dinner because my stomach is growling at this point!

Toy Story Mania is so much fun -- even standing in line because you get to look at all those awesome toys.

The Candy Cauldron was pretty cool, I never knew it was down there. The marshmallows did look yummy but I didn't get to try their deliciousness because of my stupid stomach ache! A Mickey waffle sounds sooo good right now, even if it is 9pm. It's always a good time for a mickey waffle!

TSM is seriously one of the best rides in WDW, I can't wait to ride it again! The line was cool enough that I wouldn't mind waiting on it for a little while!

I'm a big fan of trail mix so the Chip and Dale version was even better. I didn't finish it all while we were in the World and I brought it home. Then I took it to work with me and had a little dose of Disney in the real world.

I kept up with the trip journal until the last night. I just was too tired! We zonked out at the end of EVERY night. No problems falling asleep for us. The Dis did teach me alot of things but I swear I won TSM all on my own!

great update kristen! and great pictures! I so wanted to do TSM but by the time we got to it all the fass passes were gone and the wait was over 45 min! So thats on our list this time!! The day we arrive DHS has evening EMH so thats going to be first on the list!

Thanks!! Yeah, you definitely need to be over to TSM by noon if you want an FP. And if you want to do standby without waiting all day, you better get there at rope drop! LOL You will love it when you try it!

TSM is such a great ride. Love it! And good for you beating Chris!

Maybe I missed it but do you know what was going on with that HSM thing in front of the hat?

I was soooo happy I beat him! I NEVER beat him at anything video game related! The HSM thing was the HSM3 show that they had. It was a performance they did a few times a day. Personally I really enjoy HSM, all of them, and we did walk past the show while it was in progress a few times but we didn't stop to watch it because Chris never would have stayed through the whole thing! ALthough I did force him to watch HSM2 with me the other night!

We have never been to DQ! It sounds so much fun, but I get motion sickness now and it drives me crazy because I used to be able to do anything!!!!!

That's how I felt! I used to be able to do ANY ride NO problem at all and then all of a sudden I was getting sick on things. Its so frustrating!

Interesting. I think it's weird that the Dr was "there" and he died, and supposed he had just injected something...so the sotry goes at this point.

I heard today that the DR was there when he collapsed and then he disappeared?
WHAT? - That sounds fishy.
But then who knows what's true in the media these days? It's hard to know what to believe.


Kristen, great report and great pics - excluding Mr Potato head of course
High five for kicking so Chris Butt

P.S. I sure wish I had your big beautiful smile.
I was thinking of you and your extensions yesterday. - We picked our kids up from camp and my DS told me he wants blue streaks in his hair.
UHH Okay?!

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

For kicking his butt and for getting an early ride on TSM! Can't wait to see who wins in round two! That bus driver sounds like a trip. Must have been weird at first though. Love the pics you took of Pixar land and that Mickey waffles looks delicious!

 

[Me&3]

GIRL POWER Way to go beating Chris maybe next time he'll smile for the pic.

Hi there! We just got back from our trip yesterday, so I am starting to get caught up w/ everyone's reports while getting ready to write mine. I just finished reading your updates from the WL and I loved them! We spent a little time there on our trip so it's fun to see your pics since we were just there last week. Your pics from inside the hotel turned out a lot better than mine. All of mine are so dark and none of my settings made it any better.

Anyways, I will be catching up over the next few days but wanted to say hi.

 

[jenseib]

Great update. We really enjoyed TSM too. I think we got our FP around 11ish and the CM said it was amazing any were left for the day at that time. They go really fast. But we enjoyed it. Claire had a ball on it.

great update kristen! and great pictures! I so wanted to do TSM but by the time we got to it all the fass passes were gone and the wait was over 45 min! So thats on our list this time!! The day we arrive DHS has evening EMH so thats going to be first on the list!

Just a heads up, we were going to do a HS EMH evening, and read that it is utter chaios there. They have very few rides open and only a few shows, so it's gets packed fast. And TSM usually has a couple hour wait. I ended up changing it then, since I kept reading over and over things like that...so just letting you know, so you can plan accordingly. Or if you have hoppers you can leave when you want and try another park, if it is open.

 

[mommytothreeboys]

I looked for my family in all of your DHS pics and can't find us. We were only about 4 minutes ahead of you (my TSM pic was at 9:02)!

We LOVED TSM too....but unlike you, I TOTALLY STINK! Oh well..it was so fun!

We went the same way to get to TSM....gotta love the DIS!!

I'll be following this day closely...maybe I'll turn up in some of your pictures yet!

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

OMG those marshmallows look delicious!! And it's cool to see DHS in the morning because I usually don't go long enough to make it to that park and when I do its in the afternoon b/c I do AK in the am! I'm glad you beat Chris on there, that is so funny!

 

[MagicShell]

Great update. It sounded like you had a great bus ride. We had a tram "rider"? at DHS who was so funny. Some CM make riding trams and buses fun. We loved TSM, but only got to ride it once.

 

[ibedancin824]

Heyyy good luck on the car hunt today!! Im excited cuz i get to ride in whatever you get hahahhahahaa TSM looks really fun maybe I can beat scott too!!! hahahaha

 

[xoktenox]

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been super neglectful of the Dis lately so I really need to get caught up with everyone's TRs and stuff, including my own! I was planning on doing another update today since I'm off from work but something more important came up....I went car shopping! And bought a new car!! See, my car that I've had for the past 3 yrs was a lease and I only had 4 months left on it so I went around looking for something new. I knew I didn't want to lease again so I also knew it would be hard to finance something in the same price range as I wanted to be. Luckily, my dad and I went to Mitsubishi today and in an hr and a half I'll have my brand new 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer! I love it! Here's a picture from the website, obviously this isn't mine but it's what it looks like.

Yayyy! So if I get home early enough later I'll do another update. Thanks guys!

UHH Okay?!

Glad you liked the pics! Some of them are pretty shaky but I'll have a new camera by the next time we head to WDW. I was so happy and SHOCKED to have beaten Chris on TSM too! Thanks

Thats so sweet of you to say that about me thank you! One of my extensions actually fell out the same day you wrote this comment LOL so I have 3 now. That's funny that your DS wants blue streaks! haha what did you say to him?

For kicking his butt and for getting an early ride on TSM! Can't wait to see who wins in round two! That bus driver sounds like a trip. Must have been weird at first though. Love the pics you took of Pixar land and that Mickey waffles looks delicious!

Yeahhhh I was so happy to kick Chris's butt and get on TSM since it was amazingly fun! Round two? That will come later on

That bus driver was hilarious, I seriously wish I had it recorded because the whole bus was cracking up.

Mickey waffles are ALWAYS delicious.

GIRL POWER Way to go beating Chris maybe next time he'll smile for the pic.

thanks! he better smile next time! LOL

Aww can't wait to hear how your trip was and read you TR! I hope you had a great time! I have been neglecting the Dis lately (I know, bad me) so if you started already, I'll be over there soon to catch up!

We LOVED the WL! I can't wait to get to stay there one day. It's hard to get good shots inside there because of the weird lighting though.

Great update. We really enjoyed TSM too. I think we got our FP around 11ish and the CM said it was amazing any were left for the day at that time. They go really fast. But we enjoyed it. Claire had a ball on it.

Thanks! TSM is so much fun, idk how someone could not love it. We were amazed at how quick the FPs were gone. Even though I had read about it on the Dis I didn't think they would really be gone so quick! I'm sure Claire was having so much fun there

I looked for my family in all of your DHS pics and can't find us. We were only about 4 minutes ahead of you (my TSM pic was at 9:02)!

Oh mannnn stinks that you're not in any of our pictures. Maybe another day because I think we were at Epcot the same day as you guys too!

TSM was sooo fun! I am not that good either! So don't worry, its something I guess you get better everytime you play. Keep looking at my pics and I'll keep checking yours looking for us

OMG those marshmallows look delicious!! And it's cool to see DHS in the morning because I usually don't go long enough to make it to that park and when I do its in the afternoon b/c I do AK in the am! I'm glad you beat Chris on there, that is so funny!

The marshmallows were YUMMM (according to Chris, I didn't try them!). DHS was great in the morning because we got right on TSM. You should really try it! I was THRILLED that I beat him!!

Great update. It sounded like you had a great bus ride. We had a tram "rider"? at DHS who was so funny. Some CM make riding trams and buses fun. We loved TSM, but only got to ride it once.

Thanks! We had a great bus ride thanks to the hilarious bus driver. It helps a lot especially when you haven't been having much luck with the busses for a week. TSM is great, you need to ride it again!

Heyyy good luck on the car hunt today!! Im excited cuz i get to ride in whatever you get hahahhahahaa TSM looks really fun maybe I can beat scott too!!! hahahaha

Heyyy thanks! You know how that turned out now, I'm so happy and you'll get to ride in it on Friday TSM is sooooooo fun, I hope you beat Scott!!

 

[jenseib]

Yay on the new car. It looks really sharp.

Well he's 11 but I told him yes. _ I figure hey you got to pick your battles. I'll put something semi permanent in there so that it will hopefully be out before school starts because their dress code doesn't allow for any colored hair, wraps etc.
My mother on the other hand had a fit that I was going to let him do this.
but she's not the parent this time.

 

[redlight]

Congratulations on the new car purchase. Let us know how the Lancer runs!

 

[punkin413]

congrats on the new car!!!! that's always so exciting.

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

THAT'S AN AWESOME CAR!! How were you able to end your lease early!??! I wanted to do that with mine (goes til November) but when I go to school in September I won't even have a parking spot so it will just sit at home in my driveway! My dad said that you can't end a lease early?! Maybe he was just trying to make me feel bad LOL Anyways, that car is really nice, I'm so excited for you!
