Our Gawrsh Darn Spooktacular Halloween TR ***Last Updates from Tracy 6/17***

[Kathy Jetson]

I was 15 days behind and just got caught up!

I can't believe the laundry lady! It would never enter my mind to do that to someone else's laundry and what if the people had walked in while she was doing it?

I love the shot of the whole gang at CRT everyone looks so happy to be there. I can tell by the look on Ariana's face that she was really and truely happy to be with Snow White! They really should let Belle dress up in the castle maybe make a gown for her thats not so poofy?

I've never been to CRT but you are really making me want to try it. I think being in the castle would be so much fun. I'm just worried because we are vegetarian and have one thats VERY picky I wonder if they could accommodate us at breakfast? I'm just worried we would pay all that money and walk out hungry.

The picture with Ariana kissing Dopey made ME tear up! Seeing all your party pictures really brought me back to our MNSSHP trip in Oct.2010 it looks like you guys had a great night and I can't wait to see what happens the next day!

Jealous that you've never had a bad Disney day! But honestly, that's the right attitude to have! This past trip, we had so many "issues" and looking back, I wish we would've just ignored a lot of it because it did ruin parts of our days

LOVE the MNSSHP update!!! It looks like we stood in a similar spot to watch Hallowishes. We must have been a little further left because you got better pictures than I did!

I still can't believe we didn't see the Villians show (yes, we missed all FOUR shows!) We were just so busy waiting in line for other things. I was really irritated at the party because every character I stood in line for did NOT have a PhotoPass photographer. I got pics with some characters but none were on my CD and sometimes I had to ask other guests to take the pictures.

I didn't even know about the Hitchhiking Ghost picture! We just happened to be walking towards Haunted Mansion to ride one final time before we left for the evening & I noticed a photographer standing there with only 1 family in line It turned out to be one of my favorite trip pictures!!!

LOVE your costumes and I love the fact that you guys did two parties!!! I completely agree too -- if we would've gone to two parties, I definitely would've waited in line for the dwarfs.

You have to try CRT at least once. The Breakfast menu looks like it has changed since I ate there in 2009 so I am excited to try it next Oct

I have had a couple not so great things happen at Disney but I never let it amount to a bad day. I am always so happy to be there that I try to let it go best I can.

We never seemed to have a problem with finding Photopass photographers with the characters and we saw a lot of characters, especially our next party. Maybe they all called in sick on your party night

Finally catching some DIS time to get caught up... I hope you & your families both had a wonderful Christmas!

I love all of your MNSSHP pictures! We were there in 2007 but didn't stand in line for any characters so I love seeing those pictures the most. What a special way to start the party with dinner at CRT!

Can't wait to read more!!

Day 6 – Wednesday September 28


Park – Epcot


Reservations – Chef Mickey’s


Today is a very special day on our trip as it is Ariana’s Birthday!!!!!


So far on our trip, exactly what I’d hoped would happen, was. With her birthday button, everyone that saw it would wish her a “happy birthday!” Today as well she was wearing her special birthday shirt I’d made for her.

We were headed to Epcot today and I had convinced Tracy to give Sunshine Seasons another try since she had never had breakfast here and I had never eaten there.


I was up at 7:45 (this is really sleeping in for me) and we got to Epcot around 9:30. We stopped at the front for a few pics.

I edited the pic to turn it into my favourite picture of me and the girls from the trip.

We got to Sunshine Seasons and I had the breakfast platter and I must say that the biscuit was dry and the eggs had no flavour Now I was sorry I didn’t get a Pop Waffle. Needless to say I won’t be rushing back there anytime soon.


Our breakfast platters were OK. It wasn’t any different for us though than eating at the Pop, so either or is fine with us. The scenery is awesome though!

After breakfast we figured since we were there Soarin should be next.



Ariana’s favourite Epcot ride – appropriate it should be first!

Well, let me tell you Emma has a big fear of heights so I had been prepping her for this ride. I told her we could sit in the last row which was only a few feet off the ground Now I also have a fear of heights and there are a couple times on this ride that my stomach is in my throat, but I am an adult and I know that I am not really flying over water and I am strapped in and will not fall out. For some reason Em doesn’t have the same reasoning skills so I lied a little about how high it would be

We got to the front and asked for the back row and the rest of our party waited for the next ride to get the front row, so it was just me and Em.

We waited an extra turn to have the front row and I said hello to my favourite ride intro guy Patrick before being cleared for take-off.

We got settled in our seats and I made sure my arm was available for her to hold. Well surprise surprise she loved this ride So much so that the first thing she said was “can we do that again?” We waited outside the exit doors for everyone else to finish their ride and they were happy to learn that Emma loved it!


Tracy said sure we can go on it again!

Here is Emma ready for ride #2

This time she went on the middle row and said if she went again she would sit in the front. I told her she would have to wait as there were lots of other things we were going to do today.

Great update ! Soarin' is one of my families favorite rides.

Too bad about breakfast just being so-so .. we don't usually venture out for breakfast .. we just eat at the resort. But I DO like Sunshine Seasons at lunch and dinner .. the pork chop is my all time favorite Epcot meal.

Looking forward to hearing more about the day !

I will have to try it for lunch or dinner one of these trips but there are just so many good restaurants to eat at in Epcot that I find it hard to make the decision to eat at a CS restaurant

I love Soarin even though I get butterflies in my tummy

I agree ! But unless we get free dining .. we do QS meals. My guys have such small appetites it's just not worth it. Although I would love to do LeCellier and Teppan Edo !

 

[JPFamilyMom]

Too bad about the less than spectacular breakfast, but otherwise sounds like a GREAT start to the day. Glad Emma liked Soarin' and you all got two rides in to start your morning. How fun!!!!

And love the entrance pp pic, very cute

I have actually been looking at prices and really considering paying for food after this next trip

I was very glad she liked Soarin! She is more willing to try new rides now which is great!!!

48 hours... I don't know if I could only stay 48 hours



The Dwarfs line is really long and had we not been doing 2 then I don't know that I would have waited. Next trip is villians, parade and fireworks. I basically plan to not leave the hub by the castle

I would much rather do more than 48 hours, but I'll take what I can get This *may* be my only chance to get there at all in 2012, so I figured I better not pass on it!

I didn't get to see the Villains show when we went, but I have heard it's awesome.

I'm glad Emma liked Soarin'. Jack was finally tall enough to ride when we were at Disneyland and he loved it.

Yay for Ariana getting plenty of birthday attention!

I guess if 48 hours was all I could get I would take it too

You should check out the Villains show when you can its pretty great

Emma loves Soarin and has already started a list of the rides she is willing to try this next trip

 

[Tinkermom76]

Next was the Circle of Life movie which is cute and nice little break to sit down.


.... and a good chance for two little cubs to have a quick wrestling match.

Then who can be in this area and not ride Nemo, but first you have to take pics outside the ride.

Eryka was mad at me for making her go on this ride so she refused to get in the picture.

Mine! Mine! Mine!

After we rode Nemo we had to do Turtle Talk with Crush as me and the girls had never done it before and I thought it was just the cutest thing!

We stopped for a pic with Bruce but I kept getting bumped and my pictures didn’t turn out at all


Bruce was definitely busy when we were there. Tons of kids running around and parents shaking their heads at the kids running around messing up their pictures. I watched one mom give Demetri a dirty look because he happened to dart in front of the picture she was taking... he didn’t notice and she didn’t say anything so no harm. I ended up with one picture myself...

I grabbed another picture of Emma on our way out.

 

[DisMomAmy]

I'm so glad Emma liked Soarin'! It's at the top of my Epcot must do list!!

Sorry you didn't enjoy breakfast at Sunshine Seasons. We eat there at least once every trip & have always liked it.

 

[JPFamilyMom]

So fun, I can't wait to do turtle talk on our next trip, you got some good pictures. The kids are so funny with all thier poses, cute funny

Hope you girls have a great New Year with lots of Disney magic

She loved Soarin and would ride it all day if I let her

Breakfast wasn't terrible I just think Pop breakfast is better. If I am at a different resort and their breakfast isn't that good then I might eat there again

So fun, I can't wait to do turtle talk on our next trip, you got some good pictures. The kids are so funny with all thier poses, cute funny

Hope you girls have a great New Year with lots of Disney magic

This was the first time I did Turtle Talk and it was really cute... Eryka got to talk

I would love to know how they do it

 

[Stefy]

Yay for Emma liking Soarin'

Yikes to the craziness in Bruce's spot, but yay for getting a piccie with him

 

[jenseib]

So glad Emma liked Soarin...I love it too, as does Claire. Last time I ate at Sunshine Seasons was back before Soarin was even there. It was good then. BUT, it was always jammed packed and their were more stations back then. We haven't tried it since, mostly because we aren't in that area when we are hungry.

I have never seen Bruce's spot that busy before

I maybe should try lunch or dinner cause I hear it's really good
