Pre-Trip Report for Three Princesses and a June Trip to the World, 6/24 We're Back!!

I don't want to share my last really good memories because I'm sharing those on my "pre-trip/trip report". I wouldn't want to spoil the fun. If ya'll want to see some of my past special Disney memories, visit the link below in my siggie.

Yes, I have shamelessly plugged my own trip report!! :lmao: :lmao: Sorry!

:rotfl: :rotfl: Good idea...I am already reading it so its not a shameless plug...:thumbsup2
 
Thank you Cathy but it's really hard to get a bite in when everyone is pigging out like this!

I love all the pics in your TR! I am subscribing, can you whip up a pitcher of sweet iced tea for me? Or a REALLY big pot of coffee would be nice too. Thanks!:)
 
Well the suspense is over and the decision is made......

We are officially staying at......





Port Orleans Riverside!!!!!!!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: :dance3: :yay: :cheer2: party: :dancer: :jumping1:


Of course now I need to completely change my itinerary and ADR's...Yikes :eek:

I'd better get busy....:hourglass Time is ticking away....will they have my ADR's this late????????? ........ I mean its 60 days away.... :rolleyes:


Did I mention our trip is 60 days away!!!

Better come back and check later...:rolleyes1


:cheer2: CONGRATULATIONS!! CONGRATULATIONS!!:cool1: You will love POR. :love: We stayed there in 2004. It is beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay there. :cutie:


My favorite Disney memories: I have 3 'magical moments'. (These happened before they named them magical moments.)

1. On our second trip to the world, we had just finished eating at Cinderella's Royal Table. We were standing at the rope at FantasyLand and a CM asked my son if he would like to open the park. She gave him a pirate's flag and we all counted down. When we got to 1 he waved the flag and she dropped the rope. It was magical. I cried, of course. :cloud9: :cloud9:

2. During our trip in '04 at POR we had reservations at Crystal Palace. My husband loves it!! We eat there every trip. You can get an early breakfast, 8:05, and be finished eating and standing in front of the castle before the park opens, makes for some great pictures!!:wizard: Anywhoo, they called for our family. When we walked in they asked about the 6 year old in our family and would he be interested in being the Chef of The Day. Well,... Of Course! :woohoo: He got to decorate a waffle with Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore, and Pooh!! Another tearful moment for mom!:hug:

3. Last year as we were standing and waiting for the rope drop at TomorrowLand a CM started talking to my husband. Just asking basic questions, where we were from, etc. After talking for a few minutes he announced we would be the 1st Family on Space Mountain for the Day. It was so exciting. When the rope dropped we walked with him and everyone had to walk behind us all the way to Space Mountain. He gave us six fastpasses that were good for up to 4 people for Space Mountain!! It was GREAT!! My boys rode over and over and over with no waiting!! He also gave us 4 fastpasses (also for up to 4 people) for any ride in the park!!:dance3: :dance3: [COLOR="darkgreen"]Needless to say we did not wait in a line all day. Pretty good for the first of June!!!


When they say that the CM's make Disney magical they are right on the money. The people who work there seem to know how to make families feel specail!!

Hi Cathy what a great idea and as Deb got an A+ I'd better too and don't like to say but the Pizzas cold now :laughing:

1, Has to be in 2005 our first trip as a family standing watching the opening ceremony at MK and crying as we were actually there. I had been 4 times as a child (a big amount for an English kid luckily my Dad got addicted) and wanted to share it all with my girls and DH.

2, Wishes, it always reduces me to tears it's just so beautiful and the music well what can I say it's just outstanding. My youngest DD loves Tinkerbelle and seeing her face as she flew above us was priceless.

3, Being chosen at MGM for the backlot tour, I had to dress in waterproofs and I was the captain of the ship it was hilarious. I was meant to do some actions like answer the phone but with the bombs going off it was a bit distracting :rotfl2: Also DD's got chosen to welcome Tarzen at the Tarzen rocks show they had to beat their chests for the whole audience we have a lovely photo of them with bright red faces!

That is wonderful about the CM interaction with your family! Terrific memories! Thanks for sharing! :cloud9: :love: :banana:
 
I'm always amazed at anyone who goes to the world with others! I just couldn't do it, too much of a control freak!
 
Glad I checked out your tr. I was feeling a little peckish, although now I don't know if I will be able to eat dinner. DH won't be happy since he is slaving over the hot grill :rolleyes1

Great report so far. DB and SIL stayed at POR last year and loved it! We visited them and loved it. Are going to try for that next year. This year we are staying at POP.

Looking forward to morepopcorn::

Hi all!
The weather turns nice and now no one is Dising! ;) So while I relax this beautiful Sunday afternoon, I found a great link with beautiful pictures by Dan Murphy. Dan is wonderful and very knowledgable about Dis and Disney. If I ever have a question, he is there to help! Thanks Dan :thanks:

So to continue with our memories and hopes about Disney, I thought these pictures and music would be great:

Oh yes, that moment when you realise you're actually *there*. Precious! :goodvibes Oooh, I bet it was rare for a kid from England to go to WDW back then - lucky you and good for your Dad!

2, Wishes, it always reduces me to tears it's just so beautiful and the music well what can I say it's just outstanding. My youngest DD loves Tinkerbelle and seeing her face as she flew above us was priceless.

Aw Jo, that's brilliant!! :tinker: :cloud9:

:lmao: Fantastic memories. It's amazing how we can keep ourselves away from Disney World for a single minute! :thumbsup2
 
Hi Cathy!

I just joined your TR, and love it! Your daughters are adorable. They are TOO CUTE!

I, myself, am a teacher, and am jealous of all of you teachers who have last days of school so early! My last day is June 22, darnit! *Mid June and Late May* Sheesh!

Have fun, I will live vicariously through all of you....and when you come back with your TR's, I will still be in school...BOO!

SOO...have a real :mickeybar for me!

:welcome: :rainbow: Welcome Beana and thanks for coming along....we always need fellow teachers :teacher: to help us~ I see you love Disney...did you take a trip recently? :cheer2:
Sorry about the late end to school for you....did you have a lot of snow days or is that just how it worked out?
Thanks for compliments on the girls princess: They sure keep me busy! and poor....:rotfl: :scared:
 
UPDATE
After my walk, ice pop and massage :lmao: I ordered some Disney beach towels :banana: which were on sale from disneyshopping.com. They were two for $15 and they are even personalized! Cute! And I bought those matching Hawiian Sundresses for myself and the girls to wear to Ohana's. They were on sale too! :love:

And so now I have to go to sleep :angel: so I can go to work to pay for all of this shopping :surfweb: I still need to deal with crocs and jibbitz. I can't decide who is getting which color and style and which size will they need in June. I figure mid May I will deal with that. :thumbsup2

We interupt this update with the important news: The Phillies just won a baseball game :woohoo:

Oh lets see what else....mmmmm....I have nothing more Disneyish to add to my trippie. No changes or anything....and the official count today is 55 days....still a long ways off pirate:

OK I am off to read your trippies and get some rest....see you all tomorrow!!!popcorn:: Any requests for snacks...just let me know??? :idea:
