My trip reports usually are super long because I'm a little....lets just say "chatty". We also like to take long weekend trips here and there and I usually report on those too.

Just take your time. We all know that life sometimes gets into our "Disboard" time. We'll still be here when you have a minute to post.

I decided to up my font size, maybe then more readers will read and post.
Day 5 (day 3 in the parks).
I woke up at 4:30 in the morning with an upset stomach, I rolled over on my belly and that helped for a little bit, but it finally got to me. I ran to the bathroom and must have stayed in there for 10 minutes vomittingsorry for the nasty image I put in your head,my conclusion???... DEHYDRATION, so the whole morning I just sat around eating and sipping water. But being the strong disney freak that I am, I pushed myself to get as much water in as possible, so i could go to EPCOT!!!

You print these out and they are postcard perfect.
We always go without a plan so we went to the living seas pavillion to talk with Crush and Ride finding nemo
[

After that we went to soarin'

After all that we split up, the girls, except for Kayleigh went to club cool, which I really wanted to go there, while the guys and kayleigh went to test track. We didnt go on because of the long wait so we all met back up and went to the living with the land to have lunch. Later we went to the resort to rest for a few hours. Most of us swam if you call that resting. We then went back and started on WS. We didnt really spend much time there and went back to future world.

As you can see in this picture the sun was setting so we went to get some pasteries from France

Okay I got a croissont (sp?) and the cupcake was lauras. We ate our desserts and then got a spot for IllumiNations. This was my first time seeing it and I must say, I got really excited. At the end, I almost cried because of the music.

[

After Illuminations we headed out, But wait... On the way out we saw these and had to get some pictures.

Then we went to the bus stop and must have waited half an hour before a bus actually came., but then again, it was pouring down rain in sheets.

Lilly fell asleep and the other two almost did.

Up next, Day 2 of the Magic Kingdom

I always wonder why we go back to the resort to "rest" and end up swimming but still feel refreshened. But, we do.

Those pastries you guys got look super yummy! My family just at me because I cry at all the fireworks, parades, etc. So, don't feel bad about being moved to tears by Illuminations.

I hate that you had to wait so long on a bus. Poor Lilly was one tired little girl.

I forgot to tell everyone that a week after we came home Lilly had an appointment for issues where she gets mad at little things and throws HUGE fits. She had low serritonin (sp?) levels. Im not going to say when she has these fits during this trip so just assume that she has them 2 or 3 times a day.

Just thought I would come by and say that I'm subscribing to your report. I know it can be hard being new to the Dis and doing a TR and having very few readers on it.

All caught up!! First of all - thanks for the larger font & smaller pictures. I'm a few years older than you and wear glasses so the larger font is easier to read. The large pictures are nice, but they don't fit on my laptop screen so I don't get to see the whole picture at once if they are too big.

Where were you sitting for Illuminations? Looks like you were up high and had a GREAT view!

Sorry you weren't feeling good, but glad it was just dehydration. I got sick from that one year too!

Oh & I love that picture of Stitch crawling on the ground next to the baby!

 

[disneyfan61]

Sorry to hear you were sick The heat can really get to me down there & I have to make sure I drink plenty!! A few years ago we went the end of May & it was hot!! (We are going next trip at the end of May also) Anyway there were a few days that I felt very nauseous. Enough about sickness!!

I just love Illuminations!! It is my absolute favorite nighttime show. (You probably know this from my TR) and I usually cry too. I love the music & have the CD.

Sounds like you were feeling a lot better once you got some fluids in. Those pastries look yummy!!

 

[heaven2dc]

Matt - you are doing a great job on your TR! I personally love the big pics. What a beautiful family you all are! Loved the matching clothes - would love to eat at Chef Mickey's at least one in my lifetime (think you could convince my 17 yr old son to want to try it?)

I got the pictures as big as they would go without going off the page for amy and everyone elses sake of having to scroll over. Laura had to do Kevin's DHS shirt on the way to Disney She was trying so hard not to mess it up since it was paint and we were driving. Does your son like the fab 5? that would definetly make him want to go. Or you could just say that they have his favorite food there

Sickness was the least of my worries, I had plenty of time to fix that.

If I had enough money, I would buy all the parade and show music.

For some reason I have had the sudden urge to read multiple TRs, I dont know why, to make myself known??? I dont know I started reading ones with 20 odd pages, Its nuts.

We where in between France and the Internat. Gateway, over the reserved area. There was a spot in between two people and I just whipped right in there since I was recording and didnt have a tripod, I wanted to use the railing. She said her husband was coming (politely of couse) so I stepped back, He came back and told me and the rest of the kids to get up there. I couldnt tell how tall he was but I am 5'5" so Im pretty sure he could see over me.

 

[ilovepete]

I agree with the larger font/smaller pictures. Great report! Reading...

 

[johnsonmatt3]

A little life update for you, Wednesday I was sick again and since I havent been feeling up to typing, but here I am. Day 6 (day 4 in the parks)
Was MK without Clint and Carrie. I cant find the pictures for this day So I am going to put some in from the 1st day of MK. Honestly I cant remeber everything we did. So Im going to just talk about things that we probably did. We supposedly got there and had to go to get our all day faspasses. We went to get them and figured out we could have gotten them each day But disney was reasonably and we each got a Mickey volentEAR hat collectable thingy, which is pretty cool, Then we went in to ride some rides and have some fun. We rode the teacups, peter pan, and a whole buch of other ones, sadly I can't remeber because it was so long ago. I know that I left to rest at the resort and came back so we could go to our ADR for...
















OHAHA!!!!!!
Wheres the pics??? ugh Im tired of photobucket. I can't find any pics from ohana sorry, But it was great, we were able to see the castle all lit up, I wish I could stay at one of these resorts where you can see one of the parks. the Hawiian lady was hilariouse. She was talking about the lais and that we could get them for 50 cents a bag at walmart. ( I think this was in a song) and another joke that I cant remember sadly, I loved the bread and everything, My least favorite would have to be the shrimp mainly because of the peeling and stuff,but it was enjoyable. We were going to go watch the Wishes again but didnt make it, we were on the monorail. Than means I didnt get to see it. I was so mad that I almost cried, For all I know I may have cried silently on the bus back home.


UP NEXT: Animal Kingdom Our last day

 

[johnsonmatt3]

WELCOME. Thanks for joining along, Im glad to have you, the more the merrier and the happier I am.

 

[disneyfan61]

We enjoy Ohana. We have had dinner there a few times. Aw sorry you missed Wishes!!

 

[dmbdisneymom]

Well Matt....here I am!! (Finally!) We'll both get to watch Wishes next time. I didn't get to see it at all either since I'm the one that took the kids all back home. I think on our Ohana night there was a lot of thunder/lightning so we thought they might cancel it. Really wish you could have seen it from there, though. It's awesome! Keep it up, bro!! We have to have something to get us through til our next trip
