Our first trip and our honeymoon at Disney World, what could go wrong?

[heatherlynn444]

hello i jsut spent a really long time reading your report and have two things to say.

1.)you stole my cat! I have a cat that looks just like that, down to the different colored eyeballs! too funny!

2.)thank you for all the beautiful beautiful pictures! what kind of camera do you have?

 

[aceys_h0ney]

I have a wild imagination. Not always a good thing lol.

Hubby was rather unimpressed with Vegas. Nothing bad really happened I guess it was just not his scene. Unless of course he has some sorrid story he is too embarrassed to tell me. For me I just want to go there at least once. I have always heard that it can be a relatively cheap vacation spot anyway so I can imagine now would be the the time to travel! We are not actually married yet so I joke often with him about running off to Vegas to be married by Elvis. At the end of the day though I know he will go with me though because he loves me dearly and likes keeping me happy. He is a good sport like that.

Oh I can imagine the cost in building a KITT. However we own a Jeep that hubby uses for off roading. Now he has owned several Jeeps but never told me Jeep must stand for just empty every pocket. Wow I thought we got off cheap when we bought it until I found out all the modifications you can and will need to do to off road. Then there is the random crap that he breaks while off roading. Like my freaking step to get in the darn thing. Can't break his step... no break the step where the woman who is 5'3 has to climb in.

I just read the whole report!! (Nothing better to do on a rainy Sunday, I suppose!)

Sorry it started off with you being sick, it sure does seem as though you made up for it!!

I loved reading about the cruise. We're going to have to do one, one of these days.

I love all your pictures!! Great job!!

 

[Tiggerrn2]

More please. Bored here. Snowed again and nothing fun to do in the dreaded cold, yucky, muck!! On the bright side, only 6 more days until CA here we come!! By the way, can you please up the thermostat in your area, too. And make sure the faucets are turned off. I've been watching the extended forecast and I not likey what I see!!

Hello, nice to have you onboard!

How cool that you have a weirdo kitty like mine. She was a stray and was so goofy looking when we saw her that we couldn't resist bringing her home to stay. I love her eyes they are just the coolest thing ever. What is your kitty's name, I would love to see a picture.

We have a Fujifilm Finepix J10 8.2 megapixels camera. It's really no big deal but hubby is pretty darn good at taking photos so they just come out looking really good most of the time. Glad you are enjoying them so much.

Yeah I'll say you have a wild imagination.

Funny you should mention going to Vegas and getting married there because as we were driving down the strip in downtown where all the chapels are we happened to come across a couple that just got married by Elvis and they were having pictures taken with him when we drove past. It was really funny and everybody was honking at them and yelling congrats. Well it sounds like someday you will get there and I don't know what year he went to Vegas but there is seriously soooooooooo much to do there now it's almost ridiculous, so he might like it better now.

Good grief about the jeep. Thank God there is not really a high demand for off roading in CA (at least were we live) otherwise that would be one of hubby's hobbies as well. It's kinda funny about the step though, that's the kinda stuff that happens to me all the time too.

Yay! another reader.

It did start off rough but it ended really well, so that was good. We already have a do over trip planned to make up for the not so great days from this trip.

The cruise was fantastic, you will love it when you take one.

Thanks again for reading, glad you like all the pictures.

I'm working on an update, I swear!

Yucky that you are still having to deal with snow, I feel for you.

How cool that your coming to Cali. Our weather here has been kinda crazy lately, one day it's really warm, then it's gloomy, then it's super windy. Nut's I tell ya. If it makes you feel better I'm not happy about our extended forcast either because my birthday is on April 8th and we are going to Disneyland and it's supposed to have scattered showers that day. Crappy!

O'well I will do a happy sun dance and hopefully it will work, maybe I will see ya at Disneyland. Have a great trip.

Nifty update & photos. Touring with no plan? Perish the thought!

 

[KittyKat08]

Okay finally moving on with this TR.

So hubby and I leave splash mountain after getting a good drenching and we find ourselves wandering around aimlessly again. At some point in the walking we had lined ourselves up for this lovely shot.

http://

At that point I had decided I wanted to head towards Pirates to see if Captain Hook and Smee were out for photos so we headed that way. While we were waiting for them to come out the Jack Sparrow pirate tutorial was going to be starting so we decided to watch that. I don't have any pictures but hubby took video. Unfortunately all our video is to long to upload. Sorry.

I gotta say though that whoever was playing Jack Sparrow did a fantastic job and looked just like Johnny Depp.

After that was over we turned around just in time to see Captain Hook and Smee messing around with the crowd. We waited in line which moved really fast and when it was our turn they were hysterical. I was talking to hubby about something and Smee had taken my hand and was trying to get my wedding ring off and I hadn't even noticed at first, sneaky little devil. Too bad the photopass guy didn't catch it. They were a hoot and so into character it was great. You can see in the picture of me and hook that I look scared, he is really intimidating if he wants to be.

http://

http://

http://

We took a couple more pictures around the area before we headed on our journey.

http://

http://

Hubby asked me if I wanted to ride Pirates again knowing full well that I didn't. Instead we headed off to the jungle cruise because we hadn't done that yet.

The line was long when we got there but since we had nothing better to do we decided to just stand in it. Hubby and I quickly realized that when standing in a narrow row of lines and going around and around and around several times, just doesn't help when you are suffering from sea legs. I think I fell over like 10 times and hubby kept bouncing off the sides of the queu line. It was very funny especially when I would catch the looks of the people around us. Hear are some photos while we waited for our turn.

http://

http://

http://

I have like a billion more photos from the line but we will move on to the ride. I think we waitied for about 50min before it was our turn. It was worth it though because our guide was great, she had a british accent so right away I loved her. She was very, very funny and for the first time in a long time I laughed through most of the jungle cruise ride.

Pictures in next post.......

 

[KittyKat08]

Mind you these photos are not in order, at all!

I could go on forever with the photos from this ride but I will give it a rest. I really, really liked the jungle cruise, it's awesome that you go inside a cave on this one, we don't have that feature on the Disneyland version.

 

[KittyKat08]

Thanks!

I was almost afraid to write this section of the TR for fear I would be banished from the boards without a plan, not that we had any real plans during any part of the trip but this day was the worst.

 

[KittyKat08]

So after that we decided to head over here....

http://

http://

I'm not a huge fan of the tiki room because for as long as I can remember I was always dragged into it at Disneyland and so I'm kinda just over it now. I figured on this occasion since it was hot as you know what and I was so tired we could go see it. As you can see I was ready for a mini nap.

http://

Upon exiting the show we spotted that place across from the Aladdin magic carpet ride, I don't know the name but they have slushie type drinks there. We got in line and it was so yummy. Talk about refreshing.

And on that note we decided to ride the Carpets.

http://

http://

http://

http://

http://

http://

http://

Those were fun, I liked how they pitch forward and how the camels spit on you. Would you believe the spinning helped us to walk straighter when we got off.

Walking better we wandered along and I decided I wanted to get a mickey ice cream. Hubby took probably the most unflattering picture that ever was of me happily eating away.

http://

Then these guys came over and noticed our Just Married pins and said to pick a song and they would play for us. Of course we couldn't think of anything to have them play so they took it upon themselves to play the wedding march. It was pretty funny and after they finished the huge crowd that had formed all clapped and yelled congrats to us.

http://

We thanked them and headed off again in search of nothing in particular.

 

[Diamondintheruff]

I guess you didn't have the energy to get up and dance while they played for you?

You know I haven't rode the carpets before. The tricertops spin and dumbo but for some reason I just stick the kids on the carpets and watch (or in my DH's case take off). Maybe I'll try them.

Funny that the ride "helped" your sea legs.

Oh' Lord it didn't even occur to me to get up and dance and besides that hubby DOES NOT LIKE TO DANCE! It was hard enough getting him to shake his booty on the wedding day much less in the middle of the Magic Kingdom.

It was pretty strange how the ride helped us walk better, it didn't last very long though and pretty soon we were walking sideways again.

 

[KittyKat08]

So we headed off again and hubby had decided he wanted to go see the Country Bear Jamboree show. We walked over there and a show had just started so I asked hubby if he wanted to wait but he said to forget it so we left. I suppose being tired and somewhat cranky was catching up to him and his patience level was slowing down.

We found ourselves walking past this sign and I had to take a picture because it's one of my all time favorite movies.

http://

We took a couple more pictures in the area.

http://

http://

The Hall of Presidents was closed while we were there so we left this area without doing much except looking around. I'm looking forward to seeing that on our next trip.

We decided to head back towards the castle and the Fantasyland area in the hopes that the lines wouldn't be that long. Yeah right!

Stopping at the castle first we took some pictures.

http://

http://

http://

http://

http://

I forgot to mention we had found a photopass person earlier who got these shots.

http://

http://

Upon entering Fantasyland we soon realized we wouldn't be doing much there either. This picture pretty much says it all.

http://

 

[KittyKat08]

Hubby decided to start taking some more photos of the back of the castle while I tried to figure out what to do.

http://

http://

Then hubby moved on to taking photos of the area.

http://

http://

http://

Then I had remembered how I wanted to see Mickey's Phillarmagic show (sp?) so we headed over there. Well of course it was closed down at the moment. The CM said they were working on the problem at the moment and had no idea if it would open up again or not. I was so totally bummed, from all the stuff we didn't get to see or do I really wanted to see this show. So we walked away and hubby suggested that we just hang out and chill in the area to see if it was going to open or not. I was fine with that and then for some unknown reason because I must have figured that the day we were having wasn't rough enough I suggested we go on It's a small world. I still really have no idea what I was thinking. I think hubby even fell backwards a step or so when I said this.

Off we went.

http://

http://

http://

http://

So we rode the ride in what I could only call a sleep induced coma like state. We didn't speak, we didn't move, we didn't take any pictures we just sat there. Needless to say we both now needed toothpicks to keep our eyes open and a wall to bash our heads on several tmes in the hopes of getting that song out of it.

Moving on shall we!

Phillarmagic still wasn't open and the lines for everything else were outrageous so hubby decided to get cute with the camera again. It amused him for awhile.

http://

http://

 

[KittyKat08]

Hubby worked hard on this next photo trying to line dumbo up with the moon just right. It came out pretty cute.

http://

I look over at one point and finally it's open, yay!

http://

And I did spell it wrong. Ooops, sorry.

So I grab DH and we run over just in time for the next showing.

http://

http://

http://

I loved, loved, loved, loved, loved, did I mention I loved this show. It was so cool and so cute. I'm so glad we waited around, it was totally worth it. I especially loved the ending with Donald, so adorable.

I took this picture of Donald in the store as we headed out.

http://

I could have gone crazy shopping in there, with all the Donald stuff but since we already had half a disney store back at the hotel that we had to figure out how to pack and still three more days of parks, I figured it wasn't the smartest thing to do. Next time.

After the show we both decided we were to pooped to pop anymore and just wanted to leave. I was so sad because it was our last day at the Magic Kingdom but I was beyond exhausted as well. The only thing left that I wanted to do that night was get a photopass picture in front of the decorated castle. We headed out to Main St. which was already packed for that nights showing of wishes and the parade. We searched and searched for a photopass guy but we couldn't find one at all. I was so tired and being caught with so many people around us was driving me nuts that I just said forget it. Hubby managed to take our own photos of the castle on the way out.

http://

http://

We made our way upstream towards the exit. It took awhile but we finally made it back to the car. I was sad because there was so much we didn't get to do at the park and I never got to see wishes or any of the parades. As we started to drive on, I started to tell hubby we were for sure coming back, no if's, and's butt's about it.

This was hubby's face after I said my spiel.

http://



Well we realized as we got closer to the hotel that we hadn't eaten anything all day, not since breakfast on the ship at like 7am that morning. I have no idea why we never stopped for food I guess we just hadn't thought about it. Anyway we headed over to Taco Bell and they were having some serious issues this evening so we left and ended up going to Red Lobster instead. Yummy. While we were eating Wishes had started and we could see the fireworks from our table. It was pretty cool and I got to see some of it.

After dinner we went back to the hotel and literely fell into bed, I don't even remember putting jammies on. We were out like a light until the next morning.

So there you have it ladies and gentleman. The longest day of our lives, at least to us it was. It wasn't very productive but we still had fun.

Coming up next we finally get to Disney's Hollywood Studios!

 

[GreatBiscuit]

Great updates! Loved the sea-legs stories. I can only imagine the crowds in line wondering how you mananged to consume THAT much alchohol in the MK!

Anyway we headed over to Taco Bell and they were having some serious issues this evening so we left and ended up going to Red Lobster instead.

Now that's some change I can believe in right there! Talk about an upgrade! I'd kill for some Cheddar Bay biscuit's about now. I know...ironic isn't it?

Looking forward to your day at DHS!

 

[kimmylaj]

great update. i love philharmagic too. it just makes me happy.
i love the front seat on space mtn...try it next time..you'll like it (well at least i assume who knows what they are changing) how funny all the people staring while you were falling all over. they were probably trying to figure out where to get alcohol in the mk. after reading your reaction to iasw i am thinking maybe thats why you cant get alcohol there...people need to get drunk just to get the song out of their heads. although i find that if i ride carousel of progress after that i sing "its a great big beautiful tomorrow" instead which i much prefer. anyways cant wait to read more

 

[topdog]

Great update! I like the camel spitting picture. Too cool!!

This is a great picture. Great perspective!!! Perfect angle.

 

[Diamondintheruff]

You can never get it all done at the parks. Just when I think I've done everything I ever wanted to do at Disney I log on the disboards and discover something I had missed.

Love that you could see Wishes from Red Lobster. I love those biscuits too. Dh always orders a side of ranch dressing to dip them in but I love them all on their own.

 

[aceys_h0ney]

Whoa your trip report junkie missed an update. I have got to stay on the ball here.

I love love love your castle pics. I loled @ the unflattering ice cream pic and the one of you sleeping. Your hubby sure does take awesome pics of you huh ?

I am looking forward to Philarmagic (sp?) for some reason on our first trip I wrote that off as boring and not worth the wait or use of a fastpass and I have no idea why. After reading around the on the DIS I am looking forward to the ride.
