I love the balloon picture, too!!! That's so cute! And the one with the horse and carriage is so unique! Very cute!
We tried like four or five different times to get that horse and carriage one. Thank you...thats why I love it! Hehe. It'll be a good pic for the scrapbook!
Do you have any disney trips planned? We don't have any right now, but we've been kicking something around. We'll see if it materializes.

After our excitement wore off (and by ours I mean mine haha) we decided that we were starving so we each got a waffle and sat down to eat. It was awesome! I think mine had strawberries on it. I didnt make a note so I dont remember anymore.We had some visitors while we ate. These guys were all over the place. I felt so bad for them even though they can be very annoying.
We pin traded on the way out of MK and bought my soft mickey, steam boat willie and a blanket. We had soft mickey set home since he was a bit bigger than steam boat willie and the blanket as well, but dh let me keep steam boat willie to take on the cruise with us.
We stopped to watch these guys...I don't know about ya'll, but that song gets stuck in my head for like the next week!
I would love to have this some day...maybe when we have a house?!
I think minnie makes for an awfully cute mary poppins!
On our way out we saw Daisy and we hadn't met up with her yet on this trip and we were running out of time so we decided to stop by and say hello!
I feel like the jolly green giant next to some of the shorter characters
With that we said goodbye to the MK for the day and headed for the monorail to get to our adr's at Coral Reef!!
I have never ate lunch at Coral Reef(only dinner), but I thought it was awesome! Although I must say I was a little sad that we didnt get seated right next to the tank like we have in the past. Its always good to change things up though and we werent as crowded as we normally are when we sit next to the tank. So that was a plus! I dont remember what we had and we dont have any pictures so that is a bummer. We always mean well and say were going to take pictures of our food, but we always forget. Sorry about that! I vow when we go on our next Disney trip that well def make more of a effort to take pictures of our food.
After lunch we decided to make our way around the world. We also decided that since we always start in Mexico that wed start in Canada this time.
Note the dark looming clouds
We also explored each country more than we usually do because Ive seen so many things on other trs that I havent seen myself because we never actually explore the countries and just go in the stores instead.
When we visited the UK we stopped in the toy store because friends of ours adopted a baby girl while we were in disney and asked us if wed get them a Winnie the pooh because they were going to do her nursery in Winnie the pooh so we got one for her. We are an awesome aunt and uncle if I do say so myself! (confused? lol we say they are our adopted brother and sister b/c they are such good friends of the fam. So we're aunt ashley and uncle matt.)
Then we met pooh, tigger and eyore. My faves! I heart Winnie the pooh and his friends!!! It started to rain a bit so I was pretty bummed because I wanted to meet Mary Poppins so we hung out in the area for a little while and sure enough the rain stopped and here came Mary Poppins walking out of some secret door lol and Alice in wonderland skipping behind her. She was rather bubbly. I know they have to be, but it takes a special kind of person to be able to fill that role just right! Kudos to that alice!
Is she flirting with my husband?! lol Also...note her feet...she has to stand with them pointed out in the movie and she is here too...I love it!
talking to the flowers so dh can take pics...I love it! that guy in the back round is staring at dh like um...what the heck are you doing dude?!
Mary poppins was wearing blue contacts, but they made her eyes look weird up close. It was a little freaky. Lol. She asked me if dh and I had a tea party on the ceiling for our wedding? I told her no, but we thought about it and said said it was the thought that counts and maybe we would for our first anniversary! Mary, you let me know how to have a tea party on the ceiling and Ill be more than willing to do it! Lol. Try anything once right?
Alice was talking to the flowers, which allowed dh to get some good pictures. Alice asked us what kind of trouble we had gotten in to today? In which I replied to her all sorts and she said so youve fallen down a rabbit hole and all! Yep, sure we did Alice! Lol. She was awesome though! Very bubbly and into her character.
and my giant status is back...I felt like I was towering over her lol
Our next stop was france where we met aurora and belle.
she told me to hold out my hand so I did...always have to have a little bit of cheesyness at disney!
I was so mad because the beast came out right after we met belle, but I didnt want to get back in line just to meet him and not to mention the line had gotten long in a very short time. No thanks! I met them together last time so its alright! After the small disappoitment we decided it was time to get the orange slush that everyone rants and raves about on the dis! We had never had one before so we decided to share it. I have to say it was pretty awesome!
By this point it had been raining off and on a little bit and the skies were only getting darker. It wasnt looking good for us.
We headed into Japan and dh let me pick out two pearls to put on a charm that I also picked out. I was going to get a chain, but it was expensive and I already knew I had a chain laying around at home that I could use. Both of my pearls were 7mm and one had a greenish color while the other had a pinkish color. I didnt really see it, but thats what the girl said so Ill go with it. While she had them in the salt she made a smiley face with her little stick so they were smiling at me. I should of taken pictures, but I wasnt thinking about it so I dont have that commited to the camera, but oh well. It was still cute.
We went outside and watched a little show. There was some lady telling a story. She was pretty funny. Then the skies opened up and we were forced to buy ponchos and run to the American adventure in the pouring down rain. Did I mention I was wearing shorts and flip flops and that the a/c was blasting in the American adventure? Not fun!
Has anyone ever seen the show in the American adventure? I thought it was boring! We only did it because we wanted to be out of the rain. It was freezing in there and I kept falling asleep because not only was I tired, but I was bored to death. And dh kept bumping me to wake me up. I was thinking to myself um those arent real people up there and Im not snoring so let me sleep. I wanted to just get up and leave. Lol. Sorry, but that isnt something Ill repeat even if it is pouring.
We also tried to see the candy lady in japan, but due to the humidity from the rain they canceled her show, which was a major bummer since we had never seen her before. There is always next time though! Our next country was Morocco.
It wasnt raining when we arrived, but it started to when we got towards the back so we ducked inside what we thought was a shop, but it was the meet and greet spot for Aladdin and jasmine, but they werent out. Instead the genie came stumbling in through the gift shop door into the room. This was turning out to be a wonderful character day!
We just happened upon him because it was raining and he was forced inside. People had been in line outside and they followed him so we had to get in line behind them, but we didnt have to wait long. As I recall some rude family cut in front of us, but I didnt really care since we were still going to meet him
I just hate when people are line cutters though and they knew they were cutting.
When it was time for us to say goodbye to genie after our meet and greet he didnt have my autograph book. Im thinking what did he do with it? He showed us that he didnt have it at all and we looked around a bit and then I remembered that I felt my hood move during our picture. Sure enough I reached behind and he had slipped it into the hood of my sweatshirt. That sneaky pete! He was funny though and we had a good time with him. And we had never met him so that was cool too!
We did a rush through of the rest of the countries because even though it wasnt raining hard core we were tired of being wet and wearing ponchos. My feet were getting cold from wearing flip flops and accidentally stepping in a few puddles. We bought some pins on our way to the lockers, retrieved our stuff and then got a few photopasses on the way out with our dorky ponchos on to record our first ever Disney rain in three trips. Not to bad right?
We headed back to AKL, repacked since we were leaving Saturday morning and there was really nothing better to do at this point since it was drizzling out a lot. We went to the mara for some dinner and I called my mom to talk to her for a little while. I had a horrible belly ache. I think it was all the Disney food. I have a very sensitive stomach so when I eat stuff that I dont normally eat it comes back to bite me in the butt.
I felt all around crappy because I was still cold from the rain, I had a belly ache and it was super humid all day so I had been having really bad issues with my asthma and felt like somebody took away one of my lungs for a good part of the day. The upside was that while we were pin trading all day we found a few more letters that we needed for our alphabet, which put us at only needing four more! We went to bed early and were excited to get up the next morning and do some more pin hunting and park hoping since it was our last day in the park before our cruise on the magic!
We pin traded on the way out of MK and bought my soft mickey, steam boat willie and a blanket. We had soft mickey set home since he was a bit bigger than steam boat willie and the blanket as well, but dh let me keep steam boat willie to take on the cruise with us.

Congratualtions on your new aunt and uncle status!!! You are one of the fortunate ones to have never been rained on at WDW. We ususally go in June, so it rains at least once a day. Thankfully it stops though.
Sorry that you felt so crappy! I'm feeling you though.

Wow, you did get lucky with the characters! It's cute that the Genie stuck your autograph book in your hood! They are so good at keeping in character.

Sorry you guys got rained on but I LOVE the poncho picture!!!
Thank you!! I love it too! I'm so glad there were photographers out there to capture our moment of doryness.
Thats one for the kids to see hahaYes, indeed we did! It was a very wonderful character day and a wonderful character experience this time at the world in general!!! I thought it was cute too and he was good because I just barely felt it...it felt more like he had pulled my hair by putting his arm around me than anything else. Hehe.

Funny what the Genie did to you.
Love the poncho pic.
haha well I aim to please!
Yea, he is a pretty funny guy! Thanks I like it too...if we couldn't find a photopass person we were just going to set up the tri pod in the room to get the pic so we were getting it no matter what...at least this way it had the ball in the backround.

Friday Jan 30th
Adr: 1900 park faire breakfast
California grill 5:50
Weather: High 62/Low 38 rain off and on, light wind with some sun
This was our last day in the parks and we had a full day ahead of us with two adrs!
We said good morning to him...giraffes are my fave!
and this one was taken on the tri pod the night before
We got to the bus stop and it was raining so I wasnt to happy. I was praying that the rain would stop so we could enjoy our last day in the world! We took the bus to mk and then hoped on the monorail to GF. We were about ten minutes late because the mk bus took forever to get to akl. We ate dinner at 1900 Park Faire in 07' and it was okay, but the character interaction more than made up for it!
The breakfast was just standard breakfast food, but once again our character experience more than made up for it! I was also excited to find out that characters were different between dinner and breakfast. We got to meet mary poppins, alice in wonderland, tigger and the mad hatter. I loved the mad hatters big shoes!!! Also as I mentioned earlier alice was standing with her toes pointed out and her heels together here too.
When the two of them came to our table they asked where we were from and we replied Ohio. They said thats the song that the dwarfs are always singing and they broke out in a little song so that was pretty funny. When it was picture time they posed beside me and said smile like a cheshire cat and say tea. I loved them! They were a blast!
look at those things...they are huge! I wonder if its hard to walk in them?
Tigger got mad at me because I thought he wanted my autograph book, but he really wanted my hand so he could kiss it. So he put down my autograph book and took my hand and kissed it. Who knew that tigger was such a sweetheart?
This wasnt the only stop tigger made by our table. Later on he came by and was looking at me tapping his foot because there was only a Danish on my plate along with some toast. This was my second plate of food so we had to let him know that I had another plate of food before he came along. Please, dh would not only let me eat toast and a danish. He knows Id be starving in less than a hour. Lol. At the end of our meal he stopped by once again and asked us if it was good (he rubbed his belly and pointed at the food) and we told him it was very good and we were full. Thanks for caring tigger! We heart you!
I forgot to mention pooh was at breakfast too, but he snubbed us. He walked by and we thought maybe hed come back, but he never did. What the heck man? Dosent he know we love him?! Tigger more than made up for it though at least! Also I have to apologize because dh is a picture snob and won't put anything up if its even slightly blurry and I guess the mary poppins pictures were a little blurry so he won't post them for me to post.
It was still raining when breakfast was over so we bought a few pins in one of the stores and decided that since it was raining and we had been trying to figure out a time to go to the dvc presentation all week that right now would be a good time to do so. Itd keep us out of the rain, get us a $100 gift card (a special offer only at akl while we were there or so the guy at the dvc station at akl said.) They had been calling our room all week trying to get us to come. Now they were getting their wish.
So we went to the dvc desk and talked to the guy and he got us a van over to SSR. We have looked into dvc back in December 06, but we were only engaged and didnt really think it was a good fit for us at the time. We got to see the models for BLT and AKL. Both very awesome! We were in love with BLT!! We asked our questions and told our nice lady that we would think about it and she told us to go to the presentation on the ship as well because sometimes they have better incentives for joining on the ship then they do when you visit the world. Not that the incentives are reason to join, but it didnt hurt to take another listen especially since we were kind of thinking about it.
A nice man took us to dhs afterwards. It wasnt raining anymore. Yay! I was so happy that we decided to check out the dvc stuff while we waited out the rain! Good way to waste a little time and stay dry! We shopped, pin traded, met lighting maqueen and tow mater and mike from monsters inc. Sully was going to be back in a little while, but we wanted to get going because we were going to shop our way out of the park and bid farewell to dhs for our last time this trip!
As we were walking through the different stores we heard the street characters outside talking so we ducked outside to see what was going on. I have never seen so many street characters out at one! They were out entertaining before the block party bash. I took one guys picture and he asked me, did you just take my picture? I said yes, I did and he informed me he wasnt ready yet.
asking me if I just took his picture and I was still taking it lol...i'm such a sneaky pete!
Then he proceeded to get ready and posed for me. He told me he needed to look his best and that he dosent pose for just anybody. It was hilarious!
He was also making fun of a lady on her cell phone. He had his own cell phone (a big huge one from the hay day.) he was saying look at me Im on my cell phone I think Im so important. You just had to be there, but it was great! The police officer posed for me too when he realized I was trying to take his picture.
loving the cheesy smile there officer!
We had such great character interaction in that aspect while we were in Disney! After a few laughs we continued shopping our way out of DHS as the block party bash was going on. As we bid a farewell to DHS we headed to the bus stop to take the bus to TTC and from there we caught the monorail to MK.
I'll post the rest of the update next time, but for now I'll post the rest of our photo pass pics since there aren't a lot left.
you can't even see him...its like the worst picture of all time and the one with both of the cars in it...has really bad sun spots...someone wasn't on their game that day...eeek come on photopass people you are better than that!
once again I had to hunch down...I really shouldn't but I feel like I have to. I feel like a flippin' giant!
Okay I'll try to update again tomorrow ladies and gents! And then it'll be time to write about our awesome cruise!

So we went to the dvc desk and talked to the guy and he got us a van over to SSR. We have looked into dvc back in December 06, but we were only engaged and didnt really think it was a good fit for us at the time. We got to see the models for BLT and AKL. Both very awesome! We were in love with BLT!!
We asked our questions and told our nice lady that we would think about it and she told us to go to the presentation on the ship as well because sometimes they have better incentives for joining on the ship then they do when you visit the world. Not that the incentives are reason to join, but it didnt hurt to take another listen especially since we were kind of thinking about it.A nice man took us to dhs afterwards. It wasnt raining anymore. Yay! I was so happy that we decided to check out the dvc stuff while we waited out the rain! Good way to waste a little time and stay dry!
We shopped, pin traded, met lighting maqueen and tow mater and mike from monsters inc. Sully was going to be back in a little while, but we wanted to get going because we were going to shop our way out of the park and bid farewell to dhs for our last time this trip! As we were walking through the different stores we heard the street characters outside talking so we ducked outside to see what was going on. I have never seen so many street characters out at one! They were out entertaining before the block party bash. I took one guys picture and he asked me, did you just take my picture? I said yes, I did and he informed me he wasnt ready yet.
asking me if I just took his picture and I was still taking it lol...i'm such a sneaky pete!
Then he proceeded to get ready and posed for me. He told me he needed to look his best and that he dosent pose for just anybody. It was hilarious!
He was also making fun of a lady on her cell phone. He had his own cell phone (a big huge one from the hay day.) he was saying look at me Im on my cell phone I think Im so important. You just had to be there, but it was great! The police officer posed for me too when he realized I was trying to take his picture.
loving the cheesy smile there officer!
We had such great character interaction in that aspect while we were in Disney! After a few laughs we continued shopping our way out of DHS as the block party bash was going on. As we bid a farewell to DHS we headed to the bus stop to take the bus to TTC and from there we caught the monorail to MK.
I'll post the rest of the update next time, but for now I'll post the rest of our photo pass pics since there aren't a lot left.
you can't even see him...its like the worst picture of all time and the one with both of the cars in it...has really bad sun spots...someone wasn't on their game that day...eeek come on photopass people you are better than that!
once again I had to hunch down...I really shouldn't but I feel like I have to. I feel like a flippin' giant!
Okay I'll try to update again tomorrow ladies and gents! And then it'll be time to write about our awesome cruise!

great update and pics.
Strange they make you stand in front of the cars.
So did you get your card from DVC? BLT was so nice. Just drop the interest rate people and we would gladly sign up.
Yea...they weren't very smart...oh well...I didn't really care...I just did it for dh because he likes them, but I've never seen cars. Yep we got the gift card and promptly spent it!
Actually I think we spent it on the cruise. Yea, did you know BLT is projected to be sold out this year?! Insane. I wonder if we will become dvc members before the trippie is up? 
Stay tuned!

Great update! I'm glad the rain stopped!!!
I can't wait to hear about the cruise!
Thanks! Me too! It was just so stinkin' cold! I had on a tank top, long sleeve tee, a hoodie and then I bought a mickey hoodie and put that on over the other hoodie and finally started to be warm plus I had mickey gloves. Its weird because the rest of the week we were in shorts and tee shirts. Oh well...can't complain if thats the case
