our non-rushing (sorta) disney anniversary w/ PICS & VIDEO! new TR link - p. 136

Oh, you captured opening so well with a zillion awesome pictures. I was surprised that so many people go for the Bakery right off the bat. I'd be heading for ... a ride (which would depend on who was in tow). :) Your Ray is such a good guy! He is just a wonderful sport and You can just tell how much he LOVES his Dawn!:cloud9:


You were as giddy as a school girl on the teacups. LOVE IT! Magical Moments, magical moments . Certainly may be the last day of this awesome trip, ending in pure bliss...but you will be back soon.

Lucky lady.


Here is MY favorite...:)

another great trip to neverland and back!
 
Your excitement for walking down Main Street in the morning was very evident in your update, it brought me to tears! :goodvibes You almost make me want to do a rope drop. Almost.

And now I'm grinning at the tea cup pictures-I'm so glad to hear your dream of riding with Alice and the Mad Hatter came true! Very cool! :thumbsup2

The 'excited' pictures and commentary made me laugh out loud. :rotfl:
 
Great Castle pics!!!

Dawn, you are so darn cute! I don't think you EVER take a bad picture.........well ok, there was the one where you looked like you're being goosed, but other than that, you always look so pretty!
 
That is so amazing that you got to ride the teacups with Alice and the Mad Hatter! I would poop and die:lmao:

I would love if something like that happened to us on our honeymoon! I want as much magic as humanly possible:wizard:

We are soooo close.....8 sleeps to go!!!!!
 

I love the castle pictures.

What do you mean Alice and Belle are "played" by the same person? :confused3 They are completely different, real, people. ;)
 
Okay - I'm a dork - sitting here all teary eyed after watching the opening ceremony videos! Thanks for posting them - I've never been to Magic Kingdom rope drop and now I must! :)
 
we are a product of the disboards! what happened is we met on memom's TR. i noticed her user name and i'm a huge vandy fan, too! i have family in tennessee (that's where i grew up) and erica (vandyfan) lives just a little ways from my hometown. memom lives in the next town over from where i grew up, by the way! anyway, erica and i met for the first time when i was home for thanksgiving last year. i met my dad for a vandy football game and she was going, so we ended up sitting together and the rest is history! :hug:


Ditto Camster, we have become VERY good friends over the last 8-9 months. And I can't wait to have my first 'girls' trip and good time with a fun girlfriend at DISNEY!!!!! :cheer2: :cheer2:

That is so cool! I've become very good friends with some people here on the DIS also: we've texted, pm'ed, talked on the phone. I would love to set up a trip for JUST US some day. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to meeting some in person who will be there in Nov. the same time as me. (unfortunately none of us live near one another.:sad1: )

Another thing to put on my list for Nov. - must do a rope drop! Tried to do one this past June, but DD and I are such lazy-bones; never could drag ourselves out of bed in time!

And.......post all the castle pix you want. Can never get enough! :love: MK first thing in the morning looks glorious!
 
Great update! What a perfect morning!!! That is so cool about Alice and the Madhatter! I love Peter Pan too! I can't wait to hear about the rest of your day!

Wow, your first picture of main street looks so crowded! Ray took some great photos of you on the teacups! So cute!

Your right, now that it is officially August, I can day I'm going to WDW this month! Yeah!
 
Fantastic pics of the opening.

DH and I agree though that our fav is Ray's unabashed excitement on the teacups. Go Ray:thumbsup2
 
you can never have to many castle pics!! It's so beautiful I can look at it for HOURS!!! sometimes it even brings a tear to my eye!!!
 
i'm sitting in court waiting on our judge who's 30 minutes late at this point, so i figured i'd write some replies. he had rotator cuff surgery recently and it takes him awhile to get anywhere, so i guess i should give him a break! :)

I think that is a great plan and what I would like to do as well. I just think kids would really enjoy something like that. I guess I pick up on that kind of stuff from my ten years of teaching...HAHAHA. You would hope right?

I did the Cali coast and DL on my road trip, as well. It was really fun.

So when are you planning to start the process of having the kiddies? :rolleyes1 We need to know! ;) J/K That is way too personal a question for me to ask.

Okay, headed to bed now before I get into trouble. :upsidedow

oh, it's fine! when we got married neither of us wanted kids. not that we don't like them....we just don't like the world we live in. pessimistic....i know. but that has kind of changed over the years and we recently started talking seriously about it. i'm waiting to be assigned to my own judge when our circuit gets another judge - that will guarantee me a more steady income than what i have now. i make decent money but it's not guaranteed. so i never know how much i'm going to make from month to month. ray makes decent money too but his guaranteed money is really what we use for the bigger bills. so as soon as i'm in that position, we'll be more serious about it.

No, no, no! Not 4 a.m. That's much too early! It's 5 a.m. Remember the whole '5 a.m. is weird but 4 a.m. is just creepy' thing???? At 4 I am still safely tucked away in the room watching Disney's 7 Top Must Sees for the umpteenth time.

Famous? I think infamous would be a better description. (Downright "not right" might even be better. At least that's what Trent says.)

that how makes a WORLD of difference. ;) and i'm guilty of watching that show over and over again, too! i don't know why. stacy royally gets on my nerves, but i just can't seem to turn her off!

It's all pure magic,
wrapped up in pixie dust,
Welcome to a place where dreams come true!


I forgot to say thanks for the videos earlier.

you're welcome!!! i just love disney music! it's funny - i will be walking through MK and hear the castle show and start singing every word to it. i know it because i've watched our videos from last year so many times. ray just looks at me and rolls his eyes.

Oh, you captured opening so well with a zillion awesome pictures. I was surprised that so many people go for the Bakery right off the bat.

awwwwwwwwwwww.........thanks! this made me blush. :goodvibes


You were as giddy as a school girl on the teacups. LOVE IT! Magical Moments, magical moments . Certainly may be the last day of this awesome trip, ending in pure bliss...but you will be back soon.

Lucky lady.

giddy is an understatement! i am very lucky this year and i am so thankful for the amount of disney i'm going to have in the next 5 months! i know i should soak it up because i doubt i'll be going in 2009.

we're not morning people so rope drops are hard for us, but we try to make at least one! glad you enjoyed the excited pics.......i was having fun, too!!!

Great Castle pics!!!

Dawn, you are so darn cute! I don't think you EVER take a bad picture.........well ok, there was the one where you looked like you're being goosed, but other than that, you always look so pretty!

oh, stop it!!! you know how to flatter a girl. i think that "goosed" picture is actually one of my favorites!

That is so amazing that you got to ride the teacups with Alice and the Mad Hatter! I would poop and die:lmao:

I would love if something like that happened to us on our honeymoon! I want as much magic as humanly possible:wizard:

We are soooo close.....8 sleeps to go!!!!!

i almost did poop and die!!! :rotfl2: wow......you guys are so close! has the wedding happened yet? do we get to see pictures of it?

I love the castle pictures.

you're right......i don't know what i was thinking!!!!! :confused3

Could that be DUE to a plan of some sort? ;)

you're welcome! glad i could brighten your day (or night!) ;) remember that MK rope drop is not at 9:00, but more like 8:45-8:50!

isn't the dis great??? :worship:

it's hard for us to get up for rope drop, too. we always manage at least one morning though. seeing the castle first thing in the morning is just so awesome! i don't know what it is - maybe the crisp morning air or the fresh smells coming from the bakery....:cloud9:

Great update! What a perfect morning!!! That is so cool about Alice and the Madhatter! I love Peter Pan too! I can't wait to hear about the rest of your day!

Your right, now that it is officially August, I can day I'm going to WDW this month! Yeah!

it wasn't crowded AT ALL that day! i think it looks that way because everyone was walking down main street just after opening.

YOU'RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD YHIS MONTH!!!!! :woohoo:

Fantastic pics of the opening.

DH and I agree though that our fav is Ray's unabashed excitement on the teacups. Go Ray:thumbsup2

:rotfl: he does look SO thrilled, doesn't he??? :rolleyes:

you can never have to many castle pics!! It's so beautiful I can look at it for HOURS!!! sometimes it even brings a tear to my eye!!!

:goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes
 
Hey Dawn!

Great new update! Looks like a fun last day at Magic Kingdom so far!

A while back you mentioned you wish they made the blue and white Alice dress in adult sizes... If you really want it, there's lots of them for sale on ebay!! Sometimes it's listed under "lingerie" which is a little worrying, but mostly they're just adult sized versions of the dress. Cute!

Can't wait to hear about the rest of your favourite day! :thumbsup2
 
I think rope drops is a must on my list for next year too. Looks like a lot of fun. Cool beans that you got to ride with Alice and the Mad Hatter. I don't know if I can to tea cups, I would love to do them but the spinning :sick: Oh and you can post pictures of the castle all the time, I can never get too much of the castle either. :goodvibes
 
thursday - sleep in (we will be tired from the late-night arrival the day before), epcot, lunch at beaches & cream at the beach club, tour beach club and boardwalk for christmas decorations, back to epcot for christmas storytellers and illuminations

friday - DHS - lunch at sci fi, fantasmic at 7:00 and then osborne lights afterwards

I think you should switch those 2 days around, i need to drink that flight of beers from rose and crown with your husband on friday at Epcot.:thumbsup2 and my wife needs someone to drink her frozen drinks with.

okay i will stop bugging you about switching your days now.



great update, you got some really good pics, i think i might have to try out that bakery on main street, never eaten there.


i also want to try and be one of the first people to MK on the opening that way they will take us to be the family that rides on the train.
 
What a cute update! I love how Alice and the Mad Hatter rode th teacups, so many people must have gotten a huge kick out of that :goodvibes
 
Okay - I'm a dork - sitting here all teary eyed after watching the opening ceremony videos! Thanks for posting them - I've never been to Magic Kingdom rope drop and now I must! :)

Count me on the dork list too. Total dorkiness came out when Alice and the Mad Hatter appeared, i can just hear the "Sippy cup...." scene. How awesome for you Dawn ! And what cool pictures! Sounds like it just set the mood for the whole day.
Love the castle pic too, I haven't been in MK in just over a year (I have been to EPCOT though) anyone know when the coloration appeared on Mickey's face and shorts, I'll have to go look at my 07 pics, see how bad my memory is, maybe it was there then. Cute pic of the little boy with the sword it looks like it's going to lift him right off his feet. Can't wait to hear the 'rest of the story'.

PS Small hijack here - ArielSRL- I grew up in GA but am not a Dawg fan, even so your pic of UGA VI :sad1:
