Our two week land and sea adventure! W/ LOTS OF PICS!!!(UPDATED 6/17 pg.16 post 227)

We are more observant, aren't we??? If anything needs to be found in my house, I'm the one to do it. Same with my mom, sister and BFF. :rotfl:

Haha I love it! He'll be like where is such and such and I always know exactly where it is b/c I am awesome and remember and observe things! :thumbsup2
 
Sorry to my readers that I didn't post today...I was busy shopping for our friends baby today! I was spending dh's hard earned money and plenty of it! :rotfl: Her baby shower is in about a week and we are all so excited for it! I've never been to a shower where the baby was already born! Sure to be exciting! I will have to post a few pics! I'll be back tomorrow with another update and pictures of course from our awesome trip! :thumbsup2
 
all caught up.
:woohoo: you had your first meet.
sounds like a wonderful time at Epcot and then at DHS

Great pics.
 

Afterwards we did a photo pass picture in front of TOT. The guy told us to kiss and kept saying to hold it. He went on telling us to hold it for a good couple of minutes. I started to laugh so hard I couldn’t kiss dh anymore or even pretend to kiss him. The photo pass guy thanked us for playing along.

After our mini photo shoot we headed over to a cart to pin trade with the cm there and we bought our first mystery set of the trip. The two pins in the mystery pack were fastpasses for jungle cruise and soarin. They are cute! I believe there are four in the set and we have the whole set now too! (we ended up finding the others that we needed on cm’s lanyards throughout the trip.)

We got a drink and were heading up the street when we ran into some street performers so we stopped to watch. They were so funny! The one guy kept spraying the audience with the “acid” and making the boss upset. Then he ran around the whole audience spraying them with the “neutral” solution so everyone would be okay. Then he was yelling…”I saved the people…yay!” It was very entertaining! When they were running around spraying with the water we got a little wet and I wiped my wet arm on dh’s shirt to dry it off.

I was glad we actually got to see a whole skit for once. Usually we just happen upon them and they are almost done. We came right when they started though this time. After some street skit fun we decided to head over to the animation studio to meet sorcerer mickey. We didn’t see him last year since they were redoing his former home and he is my favorite so I was super excited to see him again! Donald was in the little area next to mickey…if your looking at mickey it was to the left. Donald was upset because Mickey had a long line and Donald had nobody at all. He kept doing what he could to tease Mickey and they were joking back and fourth. It was pretty funny. One of those you had to be there to see it kind of things. We met donald after Mickey so he wouldn’t feel so lonely. He did end up getting a little line after a bit so I think he was much happier! After our visitation we headed for Brown Derby four our dinner adr.

I really need to stand up straight! I wish my mother had gotten on me about that from a early age! :lmao:


I had salmon and for dessert I had strawberry cheesecake. Disneymom1980 and her dh sat diagonally across from us so when we spotted them I text her and when she looked up we waved to them.:wave2: It would have been nice to sit by them, but it wasn’t the end of the world and we were texting a bit back and forth during dinner.

This is dh's dinner:

Mosses offered to take our picture for us. He said he was such a good picture taker it made him want to cry. Lol. :rotfl2:

3268109931_cc62e32410.jpg



When they were done she came to see us and tell us they had issues with the people who sat by them, but I’ll let her talk about that in her trippie if she chooses to. Don’t want to steel her thunder. :goodvibes I have to say this dinner at Brown Derby redeemed Brown Derby in my eyes.

The past two trips we ate here the service was just okay. Nothing spectacular and the food was just okay. This time the food was really good (at least I thought so) and our server was awesome! He kept our drinks filled (the past two times we’ve come here they’d fill it once then disappear and never fill them again.) Our server was Mosses and he was awesome!

After dinner on the way to change my clothes (I had on shorts and wanted to change into jeans since we were going to fantasmic. I didn’t want to be cold.) we stopped to trade pins with a manager. He had the pin I needed to complete my blue set of pins. Our hostess, Ethel at Brown Derby had the 4th on her lanyard that I traded her for. So I was pretty stoked to have completed a whole set on only the third day of our trip! I told the manager that my set was complete now and he looked at my lanyard and was like oh yea, you got the whole set, good for you! Then asked us where we were headed now and we told him to Fantasmic.

He told us there was a second showing tonight, but we told him that we had to go to the first because that was the one we were assigned with our dinner package. Thats what I love about the fantasmic package…you get priority seating at Fantasmic instead of having to stand in a huge long line forever! Disneymom1980 text me and asked if we wanted them to save us seats and we said yes since I had to go change first. It was nice of them to ask! So we got there and were chatting it up for a while until the show started. We were all having a good time!

After Fantasmic we tried to find a photopass person to take a group picture, but we couldn’t so we asked a cm. He blocked the flash on both our cameras the first time so we had to ask him to retake them. Usually cm’s are really good with cameras as I’m sure they get asked to take a lot of photos, but this guy must have been new or had very little experience with cameras.

After we had our picture taken we decided to head over to MK for emh! We took a bus to the contemporary. Since this is where they were staying we got to take a peak at their room. It was awesome! I so want to stay there! Especially being right there next to MK and having the monorail so easily accessible. We took the monorail to MK and once we got there we got a photopass picture taken on mainstreet u.s.a. Then we rode buzz together and decided to part ways because there was something they wanted to ride and we were going to ride tta.

Dh and I took a rest room break, got a water and got on tta.

a blurry tta pic kinda cool lookin though

Afterwards we did peter pan, which was about 15-20 minutes. We didn’t think it was going to be that long, but a lot of people were coming back to use their fast passes so all those people were getting on instead of the stand by line moving like it would have been had there not been all the fast pass riders.

After visiting never land we decided to do HM to see if we could redeem our experience since the odds of the cackling lady being there again were non existent. I’m happy to say that our HM experience was awesome! I liked going at night. It made it seem a little more creepy and also there was no annoying lady cackling.

It was a little after 11 by the time we got off HM and emh was only till 11 so we headed out of the park and made our way to the bus stop. I forgot to mention this, but there was a lady at the dvc booth during emh that we wanted to trade with. She had a board too that had some really good pins on it and one that we actually needed. She told us it was the leave a good pin board. So we gave her two of our limited edition pins. They were characters that we didn’t like so we didn’t mind giving up the limited edition pins and the cm was excited to have them because they were Jessica from roger rabbit. When we got back to the room turn down service had taken my blanket and wrapped up my bear. ( I always have to have a extra blanket and my bear to hug...dh made him for me at build a bear when my dad was diagnosed with cancer to cheer me up so hes a special bear.:) So I bring both from home. ) I thought it was really cute that they wrapped him up in my blanket. :goodvibes


Up next: (our first drawing lesson (thought this was on our dhs day, but I was wrong) and dinner at crt!!)

thank you so much! aww....i'm a horrible enabler...., but DO IT!!! hehe Just don't tell your dh it was me that influenced you hehe:rotfl2: You have amazing pictures though too btw so don't think that you don't, but i'm not going to lie the digital slr is just so awesome to play with and surprises me sometimes with the pictures it takes. The camera also depends on the operator so I think anyone that is good at taking pictures can do it with any kind of camera, which brings me back to your pictures being awesome too! :goodvibes
 
How nice that you got to meet Disneymom! What a great update. I really like that pic of the TTA. I'm still lovin your pics your camera takes. Dinner looked delicious!

Adr: 4:05 CRT

Weather: High 80/ Low 58 Light breeze, partly sunny and cloudy

First thing on the agenda today was to get fast passes for TSM!!! We had the bug and wanted to ride again as many times as we possibly could! We woke up and got ready and headed to the bus stop for DHS. The bus took a while to come…it seems like this was a theme with the dhs bus. I’ve heard this about AKL before, but I think I’ve said this before…I believe dhs is the furthest away from AKL.

We got to DHS around 11, but it was much less crowded than the day before. We got a locker and headed for the fast passes for tsm. We were in luck although the return time was for 4:15-5:15. Still it was better than nothing at all and we were willing to take them! The stand by line said the wait was 50 minutes and the cm told someone else it was accurate, but it wasn’t! We waited only about 15-20 minutes again.

Afterwards we decided to head across the way to meet woody and buzz. A lady and her child got out of line and she was upset and saying this is ridiculous and this is so disorganized and just going on and on. I was like we’re all standing in line and its moving rather quickly how is it disorganized? Some people have no patience at all. I don’t understand why you’d pull your poor little child out of that line..they were getting pretty close to the front too.

We actually waited in woody and buzz’s line longer than we stood in line for tsm, which I thought was kind of funny. After our meet and greet we headed back to the studio catering company and got lunch. Then we headed for the animation studio for our first drawing lesson. We were a bit early so we sat down to wait. There were a couple cm’s standing there talking about housing and how long they had worked for Disney and also where all they had worked in dhs so that was pretty interesting. The one cm was off because she usually works backlot and backlot was being refurbed so she was just hanging out at dhs and had been going through the drawing class a good portion of the morning drawing different characters. We drew goofy. Dh never took pics for me to share with ya’ll, but believe me when I tell you mine sucked and dh’s was pretty decent.

He had drawing classes before though in college and I had no experience what so ever. I also have no artistc ability while he has a degree in graphic design and commercial art so he has a little bit of experience. We were going to go through again, but they were going to be drawing Chip and I didn’t really want to draw him so we decided to pass. I was hoping for Winnie the pooh or mickey, but no such luck. We browsed the shops on the way out of dhs and pin traded. We also did a photo pass balloon picture, which I’ll post along with all the photopass pics. It turned out pretty well, I think and it’s a different shot that we don’t yet have from photopass. After our photopass picture it was time to leave and head to MK. We took the bus to the ticket and transportation center and then took the monorail over to the magic kingdom.

Up next: The second half of our day at mk with the new parade!

I love those balloon pictures!! Did you ask to hold them? The drawing lessons sound fun. I wanted to do them when we were there, but we didn't. I don't have any artisitic talent either...frankly, it stresses me out!! Maybe I should rethink those drawing lessons! :rotfl:
 
Sorry I haven't been keeping up..but I love the pictures of TSM!!! This one I am looking forward to probably the most. Seems like it's very popular.

Thank you! We did ask to hold them and then we asked the photopass person to take our picture! Of course they were happy to oblige! :thumbsup2 You should do the drawing class...I have no artistic talent either, but you could still tell it was goofy...they walk you through each step. It stressed me out a bit, but it was suppose to be fun so I just laughed a lot and stopped stressing. :thumbsup2

Hasn't been a whole lot to keep up on since I haven't updated since the weekend...yea I'm a slacker, but I've been babysitting! I'm in love! :love: TSM is VERY POPULAR! I love it and want to go back just to ride it...I miss it so! :love:
