~Our June '09 adventure~ I'm home! Started TR 7/2

[tinkgurl]

1 month from today...

1 month from today will be June 26th. We'll wake up early today after getting to bed earlier than usual last night. We'll hurry and get ready, eat a quick breakfast, and head out the door to the bus stop.

We'll wait for a DHS bus again. This time, we're getting their earlier than the other DHS day, so we're heading straight back for TSM!

We'll for sure get fast passes, and if the line's not too crazy long yet (ha) we'll ride it. But, I'm guessing it will already be long!

After that, who knows what we'll do. There's so much to do and so much to see! We'll do everything that we didn't get to on our other DHS and then more.

We'll eventually eat lunch sometime at Pizza Planet- so good!

We'll also make time to look around in the shops. I'll probably buy another Tinkerbell print from the Animation shop.

Then, in the later afternoon, we'll head back to the room for a swim/change. It really does give us a second wind of energy to make it through the night.

After getting ready, we'll head back to the bus stop; this time waiting for a MK bus.

Depending on what time we get to the MK, we'll decide how much we can do before our ADR. If there's not much time to wait in line, we'll probably just make our way down Main Street by looking through the shops.

Then, we'll head to the Castle for our first ever ADR at CRT at 7:10 p.m.! It's so exciting for us. Are the characters there then or are they just there for breakfast/lunch? Either way, we're going to have a great time!

After eating, we'll be staying at the MK for evening EMH's so there's so many possibilities of what we could do.

I know we'll probably make our way to Mrs. Pott's for ice cream and drinks sometime in the night. We love doing that and then sitting at one of the tables. I love to look at the twinkling lights in the trees. Also, (okay don't laugh at me for this), I always think in my head when we're sitting there, "How many people have sat here today?" Yeah..I'm weird like that.

Before leaving the park, we'll make our way to the Bakery. We love to get cinnamon rolls to bring back to the room for breakfast the next day. Yum!

As we're getting ready to turn the corner on Main Street and head under the Train Station, I'll turn around and smile at the Castle because I'm having the time of my life.

We'll make it back to the room and crash because we had a crazy busy day!

Question of the Day...

Today's question comes from punkin413!

What's your favorite treat at the MK?

 

[tinkgurl]

Hi, just wanted to say I love your "a month from now" reports.

I can picture it. Sounds like fun.

You will have the best time going with B/F again.

I'll try not to be too jealous of the sandals....never did find them.

Aw hi! Thanks, I'm trying to write them good enough! I know, I can't wait to have B/F back with us again!

I'm so sorry you never did find the sandals!!

 

[jewels1916]

I just get caught up and you are posting more questions....I am never going to get any work done...

My favorite treat at the MK (or anywhere in WDW) is the rice krispy Mickey bar. Love it! I eat one every single time I am there.

Haha, I'm sorry!

Oooh those are good!

I keep saying I'm going to try a Dole Whip and then I never get around to it. Maybe I'll actually try it this trip!

Question of the Day...

Today's question comes from creativeamanda!

What is the one meal you have to do every trip?

Great PTR! Coming in late. Our must is LTT. We love it there. Great food for lunch or dinner. Our must snacks are a turkey leg for DH and tie dye cheesecake for me.

1 month from today...

1 month from today will be June 24th. We'll wake up and head to the pool. Last trip we didn't even swim because it just wasn't the same without B/F so this year we HAVE to swim.

We'll get drinks and snacks at the Gurgling Suitcase and sit at one of the tables by the pool.

We'll swim/hang out until at least late morning/early afternoon. Then, we'll head back to the room and get ready.

When we're all ready, we'll head to the bus stop and wait for the DHS bus. Okay...we still call it MGM! So if I accidently say that instead of DHS, forgive me and you'll know what I mean.

I love riding the buses and having the anticipation build up to get there and then you finally start seeing parts of the park. For DHS, it's seeing ToT that gets me excited.

We'll get off the bus and head over to the new billboards for TSM and the American Idol Experience. We always have to pose there.

Then Mom, Sis, and I will head through the line to get our bags checked while Dad and B/F zip on through the no bag entrance. Sometimes they'll act like they've been standing there waiting for us for forever.

We'll make our way into the park and decide what to do next. It all depends on what time we make it there because of our ADR time. It's evening EMH's at DHS, so we're there for the night.

We'll make it on one or two things, depending on wait times, then make our way over to Mama Melrose for our 4 pm ADR. Yes, that does seem a bit early, but it's all we could get and we really wanted to eat here. Besides, we planned the beginning half of the day around that, making sure we didn't eat a big lunch.

While eating at Mama Melrose, I'll think of Kristen (xoktnox) and Chris, who just ate there on their trip. We practically texted the whole meal. We'll also talk about our previous memories of MM..such as our waiter Kevin and Sis taking pictures in the bathroom.

After we're done eating, everything is up in the air. I know we'll want to do: Toy Story Mania, Tower of Terror, and the Great Movie Ride for sure. Everything else we'll see what we get in and what we don't, we'll get to our next DHS day.

I'm sure by the end of EMH's, we'll be pooped. The crowds will have thinned out, so we'll take some pics in front of the hat, which will be all lit up for the night.

Then, we'll make our way to our bus stop; along with all the other tired families. We'll hope our bus is the next one to go by, but it usually never is.

We'll get on the bus and make our way back to OKW. This is when OKW starts to feel like home again. So much that when we're at the parks and we say something like "are you guys ready to go home?" or "let's stop at home and change", we mean OKW. And that's when I know why I love WDW so much.

Question of the Day...

Today's question comes from jewels1916!

What is your favorite country to eat at in World Showcase and what do you order?

Great plans.

My answer to your question is I don't know I have only gone to China because we had dinner reservations for Nine Tails it was good food. My traveling buddy didn't want to walk anymore so we didn't explore

1 month from today...

1 month from today will be June 25th. We'll wake up to the smell of Dad making coffee and get ready while mom makes us breakfast again.

We'll watch Stacey again while eating and then B/F and I will go out on the patio to put our shoes on and decide what we want to do for sure.

We'll head out to the bus stop and wait for the AK bus. I love the anticipation that builds up getting to AK. We usually have to drop people off and Blizzard Beach first, which makes the wait even longer! But, I love when you're getting closer to AK and you can see EE! I'll never forget the first time we saw EE as it was being built!

We'll get off at the bus stop and make our way to the entrance. Again, Mom, Sis, and I will go through the line to have our bags searched while Dad and B/F wait for us on the other side.

We'll take pics outside the entrance sign before making our way to the finger scanning. Once we make it inside, we'll speedwalk (ha) back to EE to get fast passes. If the line isn't too bad, we'll also jump in line.

We love asking for the way back on this one. It makes the ride so much faster and scarier! Also, when you're going up that steep incline at the beginning, if you turn around and look way off, you can see the Contemporary and some of Space Mountain in the distance!!

Then, who knows what we'll do. I know we will eventually do: Nemo the Musical, FOTLK, Safari, and Dinosaur. I really want to check out the trails and Rafiki's Planet Watch! Dad and B/F will probably want to do the Kali River Rapids.

We'll eat lunch sometime during the day at Pizzafari, our favorite CS place at AK.

We'll stay at AK and probably watch the parade since we haven't seen it in awhile if we have time.

Then, we'll either make our way back to OKW and swim/change or head straight to the MK..

Either way, when we head to the MK, we will either walk/ride the monorail over to the Contemporary for our 7:55 p.m. reservation at Chef Mickey's. This will be our first time ever in all our years going to WDW that we won't be eating at CM's on our first night. But, it was booked solid that night so we just have to take what we could get.

I'm sure Sis will videotape/take pictures of me swinging my napkin and singing along. I have fun! People at other tables look at me like "Why is that girl doing that?! She's too old to be doing that!" I don't care. I'm at WDW having the time of my life!

After we eat, we'll head back to OKW to do a night swim and just hang out because the next day we will want to get up early to make it back to DHS!

Question of the Day...

What is your most memorable experience meeting a character?

Let me know how the food is in Pizzafari and Chef Mickey's. Haven't meet one. Oh boy I do need a new traveling buddy. She didn't want to wait in long lines lol it's ok this time am going to go with my family. To tell you the truth when we where there it was extremely hot for Feb. Weather in Orlando. So I didn't want to wait either. I did how ever want to meet Mickey and was about to but we got really hungry so we went off to get food and headed back to the place where Mickey was and it was closed

My question to you..

If you could meet Walt what would you say?

 

[lizet313]

I love your plans for June 26th.

I remember I have been crving pineapples throught my whole trip and in AK I finally saw some and ate them. Umm So refreshing and good. I love Pineapples.

My question to you


From all the Mickey through the years which style do you think is the best?

 

[tinkgurl]

I hope they live up to what people say!
Now back to well maybe later.

Me too! Haha..it's hard to close out of the DIS!

Great PTR! Coming in late. Our must is LTT. We love it there. Great food for lunch or dinner. Our must snacks are a turkey leg for DH and tie dye cheesecake for me.


a Mickey rice krispie treat

HEY! WELCOME!

Oooh does the tie dye cheesecake taste just like a normal cheesecake?

Great plans.

Aw, well I hope you get to explore this time around!

Pizzafari is so good! I'll definately make sure to keep track of what I order for each place we eat!

Aw, I hope you get to meet Mickey!!

My answer to your question: Whoa. That's a deep one! I'd have to thank him for making all of this possible and that I always wonder what he thought of everything that WDW has become today.

I love your plans for June 26th.

My question to you: From all the Mickey through the years which style do you think is the best?

Haha, where did you get the pineapples at in AK?

My answer to your question: I love the way he has been recently. I guess because that's how he was growing up and that's just Mickey to me!

 

[PookieB]

HEY! WELCOME!

Oooh does the tie dye cheesecake taste just like a normal cheesecake?

Thanks! It's better because it has a layer of red velvet cake on the bottom. The cheesecake part I believe is normal but very pretty!

I got the pineapples by the little outside school and Rafikis train ( I fogot the name) and the Forest Exploration Trail. I feel the same way about Mickey.

 

[stacikristine]

Hey!! I just wanted to tell you that I finished reading your entire 08 TR this afternoon! So good. I haven't started your PTR yet, but I'll hopefully read a lot tomorrow. You and your sister are so pretty! I can tell your family has so much fun together at Disney World. I am excited to read all about your plans and about your trip this year!

Oh my gosh, you read the entire TR?! You are awesome! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks so much for your kind words. It's great to be able to share my love for WDW on here!

 

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

Oooo I have a tie between my favorite treat at MK, it's between a dole whip and a mickey bar. I guess since I can get a mickey bar anywhere to be specific to MK I would have to say a dole whip! Oh and in your 1 month from today (which I love by the way!) I believe you asked if the characters were out for dinner at CRT and they are. We went last summer and we saw Cinderella downstairs and got our pictures taken and then saw some of the princesses upstairs. It was a lot of fun, you'll love it!

Glad you like the 1 month from today updates! Yep, I did ask that! Thanks for answering!

 

[PookieB]

Whoa! That sounds good! Where can you get it?

Only at Everything Pop I believe. Here's the recipe for it at allears. http://allears.net/din/rec_tie.htm I'd like to try it.

 

[xoktenox]

Soooo my favorite MK treat is either a Dole Whip or an ice cream sundae from Mrs. Potts! Yummmmm
