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

[OneTreeHillAddict]

I'm sure Tammy's (onetreehilladdict's) baby DS has seen this before and I believe he might even have it but I took this picture of the monorail set for him

Yep. He picked that out last time. He orig had a green one but it broke apart and when we traded it all they had left was silver. He loves it. Now that monorail accessory...OMG I wish I had seen that when the toys were on sale!!! He would LOVE that! (Are they still on sale? Probably not...)

I LOVE the pics of you guys in this update! They're so good and bigger is better!!!! Thanks for reloading them! You're awesome like that! I've never tried EOS. Might have to next time. Looks tasty.

I love the Xmas shop too and that is the Jack hoody we like too. Love it! They have the most gorgeous stuff in that store! If they offer me that gift card again this year I am so buying the big one! Half of it will be spent on ornaments!

EXCELLENT update girl and that's sweet that you thought of the baby while on vaca!

 

[tinkgurl]

ASMo looks so cool! I've seen pics of the Toy Story section and it looks awesome.

Wow, there was like no one at the bus stop!

Okay, I'm thinking we might have to try Earl of Sandwich now! I keep reading more and more good things about it. Plus, that food looks good!

I love the Christmas shop! I have that Tinkerbell thing...you probably already knew that though. Haha.

Buzz! We always take a pic there. You are standing on my side too!

Haha love the pirate pics of you and Chris. Your shirt from VS is so cute!

Oh gosh, the Lego store. B/F has to check things out in there.

Isn't that so cool you can see Saratoga Springs? Just around the corner from there is OKW, so we took the boat from DTD back to OKW one time last trip. It was fun!

Please tell me what the heck this is!?!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommys out there! Its gorgeous out here today and I'm hoping that some of you are getting that great weather too. I'm a studying machine today so I don't have time to reply to everyone right now but I will after this exam madness is over. Thanks to everyone who wished me luck! And the question from the end of the update of where we went at the end of the night....someone's gotten it right! Let's see if anyone else can get it before I do my next update

 

[wannago2disney]

i'm here and enjoying your TR!

 

[meanmom121]

what were the lines like for the balloon ride?

 

[JenAusty]

Wow.. what a long update! I love your trip so far and all the pics. I keep saying.. but its very interesting and I'm always excited to read more. Also, this trip report is VERY convenient for me.. because we leave in 9 DAYS! and reading this makes it soo exciting and keeps me occupied- so I don't go crazy!

I loved all your pictures of the resort. To tell you the truth I have never stayed at ASports or ASMu and I never really wanted to. I always told Austin.. the only other one I would stay at besides ASMov, and Pop would be Music and thats only because he is a geetar player! But I was always afraid those would be really outdated and old. I also remember looking at pictures of the ASSports food court and didn't like it. BUT.. as I was looking at your few pics from ASmusic.. it actually looked just as nice as the others. idk why I doubted it.. its disney for crying out loud. I especially LOVE the pool picture with all the palm trees. I'm a sucker for palm trees and so if my DH. He practically hugged them when he saw them for the first time! hehe

When I seen the Happy Anniversary ornament I was soooo excited! My DH and I went to Bronners- the worlds largest Christmas store in Michigan to get out First Christmas-after our wedding- ornament. But since we are going to disney for our 1 year.. this will be great. Now I'm even more excited to go to that store.. even more than I already was. Because christmas is also in my top to!

What is mob scene? Or what was the store you went into with all the pirate stuff? It reminded me of Pirates of the Caribbean ride.. and I don't remember seeing that store in my Disney book.. (I've made a list of shops to visit.. hehe)

I loved those lego piggys.. i think.. hehe I am excited for this store.

Seeing the pics from T-Rex.. makes me want to go there even more.. but idk when I'm going to FIT that in.. grr.. soo much..so little time.

YAY for Disney Quest! Excited to see pics and here about that! DH and I love it!

 

[JenAusty]

ohh by the way.. Good Luck on all your exams!!

 

[PopArtGal]

Hi there! Just started reading your TR!

Loving it! I love reading reports of people around my age

I have the monorail.

And I so want the CR since we are going ther in July!

 

[Sunset Cliffs]

What a fun update! You never run out of things to do at DTD. The Christmas store is my favorite, because we went there on our honeymoon and went a little crazy buying ornaments. So our whole Christmas tree is Disney stuff only, and it is tradition to buy new ornaments from the store each time we go out there.

We are going to try EoS for the first time on our next trip and I am so excited about it. Thanks for the great pics.

 

[k_reile]

for some reason I have missed the last couple of updates! I loved Earl of Sandwich too. I am really sad PI closed. DH and I only got to go to the Comedy Club last time we were there and it was the first time I was legal enough to go to PI. It was a waste of our Water Parks and more tics since we never made it to a water park either! We were tired so we never made it anywhere else at PI.

Good luck on your exams. I certainly do not miss those! I do however miss Spring Break!

 

[MaceysMom]

Hi I'm Tasha. I just found your report from OneTreeHillAddicts. We are taking our first trip to Disney soon for our honeymoon and my poor fiance has no idea what he is in for. I am going to take a million pictures and I am thinking of doing a trip report so I will probably write everything down. He thinks I am a little crazy for planning like a mad woman but you have to with free dining right? He will be happy when we get there and one of us knows whats going on.

I think as I am writing this you are taking your exams. Good Luck!!!!

My guess to what you do before you go back to your resort is Goofy's Candy Company.

 

[Disneychix]

I'm just getting caught up! Wow, what a day so far!

Thanks for the pic of the balloon ride. I haven't seen any pics of it yet and it does look cool.

That's awesome that you're going back in November! We stayed at CSR in March and fell in love with the resort! It's so nice there

 

[xoktenox]

Fun update!!! We ate breakfast at Earl of Sandwich -- I would love to try their regular sandwiches at some point! Love all the shopping pics, and I must say that sitting outside listening to live music sounds like such a wonderful way to spend the evening!

Good luck on your exams Monday!

oooo breakfast at EoS sounds delish, gonna have to try that too. I would highly recommend their regular sandwiches! Sitting outisde that night listening to music was great and would have been even better had I not been soooo tired. I promised Chris a longer night of that in November.

Thanks for the exam wishes, I am so relieved they're over!!!

I love your update. The picture of you and Buzz is fabulous. Beautiful!

Awwww thanks! I'm so glad you're enjoying yourself over here. There's more to come so stick around

I am so glad that you got to eat at Earl of Sandwich. The Earl's Club is my favorite sandwich! I'm drooling over your picture and dreaming of July when I finally get to eat there again.

The Earl's Club was yummyyyy, great minds think alike! So lucky that you get to eat there again in July. Think of me while you're eating your Earl's Club!

i love DTD.....so many things to see and shopping to be done! i didn't ever think i was gonna get ray out of that lego store! DTD is so great, except for WoD which just drove me crazy. I could have spent wayyyy too much money shopping there. The lego store is really cool and Chris really wanted to get something there but ended up not LOL

oh, how i miss that place. i just loved it there. i bet one of those is our room. we were on the bottom floor and you could see fulton's and the lego lochness monster across the water from our room. SS looks so beautiful, especially all lit up at night like that. What a great view it sounds like you guys had.

i can't wait to try this! I really want to try and hit it in November!

my guess is goofy's to get some treats!!!!! Hmmm good guess Dawn. We'll see soon enough!

good luck on your exams!

Thank you for the well wishes on my tests! I finished the rough one this morning now just one more to go on Wednesday and the semester is overrrrr.

Yay!! Great update! Sounds like a fabulous first night, such nice relaxing time. The Earl of Sandwich looks great. Can't wait for more... Our first night was really great. Got us into the Disney spirit at a slower pace and worked really well. EoS is highly recommended by me!

and as for my guess...does it have anything to do with a tall silly character and lots of chocolate???

Good guess there! We'll see soon

 

[xoktenox]

Great update.
I love the picture of you with Buzz and the mom is in the background pulling her kid away. LOL!

Glad you liked this update.

I love that its a dad behind me and you thought it was a mom It's hard to see but I was laughing out loud about that LOL

Ok I'm Karen and I'm finally here and caught up,jumped over from onetreehill TR
I had to laugh at the back of chris' head - because my DH has been watching me on the DISBoard and has already stated "Are we gonna be doing all that picture and writing stuff or are we gonna enjoy ourselves?"
He's already made me promise I can't be photgraphing everything. Good thing I'm arming the kids with cameras too
I'm already wound up too tight and we're not even there yet - still have 62 days to go.
And where the heck is this fabulous mexican lasagna recipe everyone was talking about?
Enjoying the report - thanks for having me.

to the report! Chris watched me on the Dis all the months before the trip and I think he got nervous that I was going to be COMPLETELY psycho when we got there. It was alright though, I only turned out to be moderately psycho Good strategy to arm the kids with cameras too! 62 days left for you?! Thats minutes compared to when I'll be back and watch how fast it will go.

The mexican lasagna recipe is on Dawns (punkin413) TR. Its reallly great if you cant find it on her TR just google it and i'm sure you'll find it! Its worth making! Glad you're liking the report so far!

Great update! I love Downtown Disney. The Earl of Sandwich pics have my mouth watering! I love the club sandwich. I just wish they served fries too... that would make it perfect! I'm also a big sucker for the Christmas and toy stores. EoS is sooo delicious, fries would make it better though. All the shops in DTD are amazing!

Did you happen to notice how much the balloon ride is? It looks pretty cool but I wonder if I'd be afraid. I can only imagine the awesome pics you'd get! The balloon ride is $16 for adults, not sure how much for kids. I saw some pictures from a ride on allears.net, check them out they're great!

I'm guessing that your last mystery stop before you sleep has something to do with your MIA fridge...

Good luck on your finals!!

Good guess on where we went at the end of the night! We'll see soooooon!

Great update! You are not kidding when you said you took a lot of pictures...I love it!

Thankssssss, there's so many more pictures to come!

Yep. He picked that out last time. He orig had a green one but it broke apart and when we traded it all they had left was silver. He loves it. Now that monorail accessory...OMG I wish I had seen that when the toys were on sale!!! He would LOVE that! (Are they still on sale? Probably not...) Ya know I didnt even realize that CR was an accessory for the monorail! How cool is that?! idk if they're still on sale but your baby would love it i'm sure!

I LOVE the pics of you guys in this update! They're so good and bigger is better!!!! Thanks for reloading them! You're awesome like that! I've never tried EOS. Might have to next time. Looks tasty. The pictures definitely look better bigger so thanks for telling me to make them bigger LOL EoS was yummmmyyyy

I love the Xmas shop too and that is the Jack hoody we like too. Love it! They have the most gorgeous stuff in that store! If they offer me that gift card again this year I am so buying the big one! Half of it will be spent on ornaments! I know you guys are big Jack fans and that hoody was definitely really cool. The ornaments in the xmas store made it so hard to pick just one! they're all so pretty and I'm going to have to keep buying a new one every trip! Nothing wrong with spending money on ornaments right? LOL

EXCELLENT update girl and that's sweet that you thought of the baby while on vaca!

As soon as I saw the monorail I thought of him so no problem!!

ASMo looks so cool! I've seen pics of the Toy Story section and it looks awesome. It was pretty cool!

Wow, there was like no one at the bus stop! Not the DTD one but the MK one was packed out!

Okay, I'm thinking we might have to try Earl of Sandwich now! I keep reading more and more good things about it. Plus, that food looks good! Definitely a GREAT CS place

I love the Christmas shop! I have that Tinkerbell thing...you probably already knew that though. Haha. I did know that, I'm jealous LOL

Buzz! We always take a pic there. You are standing on my side too! Thats because we're twinsssss LOL

Haha love the pirate pics of you and Chris. Your shirt from VS is so cute! I think its really cool that you noticed my shirt was from VS, just so you know LOL

Oh gosh, the Lego store. B/F has to check things out in there. Chris was really tempted to buy something in there!

Isn't that so cool you can see Saratoga Springs? Just around the corner from there is OKW, so we took the boat from DTD back to OKW one time last trip. It was fun! oooo the boat across the lake sounds really cool and relaxing!

Please tell me what the heck this is!?!

The balloon is called characters in flight. Its a tethered hot air balloon that takes you up on 6 min. flights and the views are amazing!

 

[xoktenox]

i'm here and enjoying your TR!

to the TR! Glad you're enjoying yourself!

what were the lines like for the balloon ride?

No line at all either time I saw it!

Wow.. what a long update! I love your trip so far and all the pics. I keep saying.. but its very interesting and I'm always excited to read more. Also, this trip report is VERY convenient for me.. because we leave in 9 DAYS! and reading this makes it soo exciting and keeps me occupied- so I don't go crazy! Awwww you're making me blush Jen LOL I'm glad you like the TR so far. And I'm glad I can help you make it the SHORT time before your trip, lucky!

I loved all your pictures of the resort. To tell you the truth I have never stayed at ASports or ASMu and I never really wanted to. I always told Austin.. the only other one I would stay at besides ASMov, and Pop would be Music and thats only because he is a geetar player!

BUT.. as I was looking at your few pics from ASmusic.. it actually looked just as nice as the others. idk why I doubted it.. its disney for crying out loud. I especially LOVE the pool picture with all the palm trees. I'm a sucker for palm trees and so if my DH. He practically hugged them when he saw them for the first time! hehe Glad you like the ASMo pictures. I stayed at ASSp a few years back and it wasn't too bad but could use a refurb. Then again so could Movies. ASMu looked really cool though!

When I seen the Happy Anniversary ornament I was soooo excited! My DH and I went to Bronners- the worlds largest Christmas store in Michigan to get out First Christmas-after our wedding- ornament. But since we are going to disney for our 1 year.. this will be great. Now I'm even more excited to go to that store.. even more than I already was. Because christmas is also in my top to! Aww have them personalize the ornament for you, thats what I did and it comes out GREAT!

What is mob scene? Or what was the store you went into with all the pirate stuff? It reminded me of Pirates of the Caribbean ride.. and I don't remember seeing that store in my Disney book.. (I've made a list of shops to visit.. hehe) Mob scene's not a store silly, I was just calling World of Disney a mob scene b/c there were so many people in it! LOL

I loved those lego piggys.. i think.. hehe I am excited for this store. too cute

Seeing the pics from T-Rex.. makes me want to go there even more.. but idk when I'm going to FIT that in.. grr.. soo much..so little time.

YAY for Disney Quest! Excited to see pics and here about that! DH and I love it!

You can't fit everything into one trip so just another reason to go back! DQ was really cool!

ohh by the way.. Good Luck on all your exams!!

THANKS GIRL!!!!

Hi there! Just started reading your TR!

Loving it! I love reading reports of people around my age

I have the monorail.

And I so want the CR since we are going ther in July!

Glad you're joining in, I love when people my age join in too! The CR accessory is so cool!

What a fun update! You never run out of things to do at DTD. The Christmas store is my favorite, because we went there on our honeymoon and went a little crazy buying ornaments. So our whole Christmas tree is Disney stuff only, and it is tradition to buy new ornaments from the store each time we go out there.

We are going to try EoS for the first time on our next trip and I am so excited about it. Thanks for the great pics.

DTD could occupy me for a whole day I think! I would love to have an xmas tree filled with Disney ornaments so I'm jealous of you! EoS is reeeeeeeally good, I hope you love it as much as we did!

for some reason I have missed the last couple of updates! I loved Earl of Sandwich too. I am really sad PI closed. DH and I only got to go to the Comedy Club last time we were there and it was the first time I was legal enough to go to PI. It was a waste of our Water Parks and more tics since we never made it to a water park either! We were tired so we never made it anywhere else at PI.

Good luck on your exams. I certainly do not miss those! I do however miss Spring Break!

I'm glad you got all caught up again! The last update was a long one. EoS was delish. We never got to go to any of the clubs and this would have been my first time legal to go too.

Thanks for the exam wishes, I thought I was done with them when I graduated last year but Master's Degree, here I come LOL

Hi I'm Tasha. I just found your report from OneTreeHillAddicts. We are taking our first trip to Disney soon for our honeymoon and my poor fiance has no idea what he is in for.

I think as I am writing this you are taking your exams. Good Luck!!!!

My guess to what you do before you go back to your resort is Goofy's Candy Company.

Thanks for joining in! How exciting to be taking your first trip to WDW AND honeymoon at the same time! Your fiance will be happy you did all this planning when you get down there and you're not lost and confused and waste half your time trying to figure out what to do! He'll appreciate it especially during free dining! You did write that during my first exam this morning so thanks!!

Good end of the night guess too, we'll see soon if you're right.

I'm just getting caught up! Wow, what a day so far!

Thanks for the pic of the balloon ride. I haven't seen any pics of it yet and it does look cool.

That's awesome that you're going back in November! We stayed at CSR in March and fell in love with the resort! It's so nice there

We definitely had a busy first day! The balloon ride looks really cool, can't wait to try it. I'm so happy to hear you stayed in CSR and love it! I can't waittttttt to try a moderate resort, especially that one

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Last Xmas all of the ornaments were 50% off! And before I went they sent me that offer...I could have bought a $1000 gift card for $600. I think it was $600. Maybe it was $700. Either way it was cheap. Had I known the ornaments were going to be half price I would have gotten that card and spend it all on Christmas stuff! Hopefully when ya'll go back they will all be on sale.

OMG how on earth were u getting a $1000 gift card for $600?! Is that one of those AP things that I cant get? Everyday new reasons arise for me to move down South. Anyway, I can't believe they had all those ornaments on sale! They're actually not that badly priced normally but still 50% off means double the stuff. I hope they're on sale when you guys go againnnnn in August so you can buy lots of good stuff!

 

[MeMom]

Thanks for the exam wishes, I am so relieved they're over!!!

Thank you for the well wishes on my tests! I finished the rough one this morning now just one more to go on Wednesday and the semester is overrrrr.

You should be feeling pretty good by the end of this week, right?!?!?

A November evening sitting outside in Downtown Disney is surely something to look forward to!

 

[tinkgurl]

Haha, you think it's cool I noticed your VS shirt?! Of course I noticed it girl!

And heck yeah we're twins!

Oooh how much does the hot air balloon thing cost?

 

[bentleygirl22]

i'm enjoying your trip report can't wait to read more...
great update !!
