We ended up eating at Via Napoli that same night! We checked in about 6:30pm - we had the ADR for Thursday but since the Dismeet was Wednesday I changed it (however, the ADR time was 8:00pm - and they let us check VERY early). Where were you sitting? We were near the 3 ovens........


I am sorry you missed the Dismeet - it was very fun!

 

[t_daniels]

Um, on the right side, near the front.

Um, on the right side, near the front.

Ok, we were around another corner......I liked the food there, but DD17 wanted Tiramisu for dessert - and they would not "serve" it because of the alcohol content........she orders it all the time, and that has never happened. DH ordered it and we did not think it was overly potent. It was rather funny though.

 

[t_daniels]

Never heard of that....
Place i used to frequent had to give away a lot of dessert to friends and family, they accidentally used too much rum. ha

What a great day! I've never met Aladdin and Jasmin, I'm determined to on this next trip! I have a crush on Aladdin. I might just wish to be his princess...

ha!! If you have the luxury , try and wait to meet *this* Aladdin & Jasmine . So sweet... We saw them twice.... Made my trip. There's gotta be a way to let WDW know that, right ?

 

[carrie6466]

Great report so far! Sorry you missed the DISmeet, we had fun. DarthHusband is a great name, I love it!

 

[t_daniels]

Great report so far! Sorry you missed the DISmeet, we had fun. DarthHusband is a great name, I love it!

Me too! How did it go??? We walked by the UK when we made it to Epcot, but I'm pretty sure everyone was gone already, how long did everyone stay?

And thanks, Im kinda fond of it too. ;-) Also, keeps him from hijacking my name.

Still sick. But DH is harassing me for more TR. It's so funny- he was there with me!!

So, may write some more tonight. What are you up to?

 

[t_daniels]

Not sure I have time for a full update- but we'll give it a try!!

So, we had breakfast at 'Ohana at... 10:30, I believe?

DH answered our wakeup call, still half asleep. I was already up around from my cell phone alarm, and the promise of seeing Stitch. I was probably hyper to the point of annoyance.... actually.

I ran over, and asked him who was on the phone. See, I had heard on here, that Mickey does the wake up calls. So, I was kinda excited about that.
Of course, my sleepy DH looks at me, and answers "Stitch."

Now, in my defense, I can't remember if he handed me the phone so I could hear, or I grabbed it from him.. I was a little confused as to why Stitch was doing our wakeup call...(and how, I had missed that little detail...) but by the time I got the phone from DH, Mickey was jabbering away about something or other.

So, I'm convinved DH is imagining things. He is still in bed, half asleep....

But, as we're getting ready, he insists, saying that Stitch said something about waking up, and no sleepy. So, we decide to set a wake up call for tomorrow, and I'll answer it. And, we'll figure this out.

We finally get dressed, go downstairs, and catch a bus to MK.

Side note here. You know the music they play when you get close to MK? That starts off with a snare drum? Well, they played that, and DH and I both jumped a little, not expecting it.

Of course, I found out that DH jumped for a slightly different reason. He works with a band called RadioRadio, and one of their songs (you can hear it on their FB page), which is coincidentally the opener of their set... has an intro that starts out with a snare drum! We have a little laugh about how it doesn't seem like he can escape his RR duties, even while he's out of town (you think I'm kidding? Oh, keep reading this TR for more of the same...), and then I point out that when we get home.. now I'll think of Disney everytime I hear the song. So it's a fair trade, right?

Anyway. We get off at MK, and find the monorail, to take it to the Poly. We go to get in line (and folks, this happened EVERYTIME we rode a monorail, this trip.) and DH goes past every empty line... to the one on the end.

Reason being? No one else does this, they stop at the first open ones. So, DH reasons that we'll be the first ones on. Which, makes sense to me. But man. I always just want to stop at the first open one!

Anyway. It was neat riding the monorail- we didn't do that last time! Loved going through the CR.

Finally, we get to the Poly. It's so pretty- and I'm bouncy excited. Remember- we looked for Stitch the entire trip last time, and I never got a picture, a hug, anything. Very depressing...

So we get to Ohana, and they take our name. I'm stressed, because we left the papers with the confirmation numbers on them in the room! Sigh. Thankfully, we didn't have a problem. And didn't wait long at all for our table, actually! Long enough to take our picture, get our leis (DH wore his, thankfully! I thought I might have to con him into it... ) and then- our buzzer went off! Yay!

So we foliow the host to our table (table for 2, not one of the long tables!) And get sat down.

Twana was our cousin. She seemed perky/ happy from the get go. I was excited. She brought us the juice (which, was the same as jungle juice. DH and I were thrilled. Could not have been happier.) and coffee.

Now, I have read stories of Stitch interacting with guests, and relayed most of them to DH. We decided it'd be cute if I brought a Stitch toy with me to breakfast.

Which, works out, since I had one in my purse, in case I went into hardcore freakout mode on the plane.

Meet Lovebug Stitch:

No one we saw in the parks, had seen this Stitch before. Which, we found funny, but kinda cool.

Twana told me I'd better hide that, Stitch might steal it! But, she gave me permission to chase him down if so, so.. I was okay with that.

Breakfast came:

Plus a fruit tray. Plus this cool sweet bread.

Yum. Seriously. So good!

And the characters came out, it was SO much fun watching them interact with the families and young kids! I don't think I've been so bouncy/excited in my life!

Pictures:
DH, wearing his lei, like a good sport.

Me

DH, stalling while we waited for characters!

Now, Twana had brought us over a sharpie, and asked if we wanted the characters to sign Stitch! I had never heard of this, so I said yes. Naturally. It was such a small plush, I wasn't sure how it would work- but how cool would that be?!? So, we waited. I tried to sit still, really I did.
There was a family behind us with the cutest little boy. He LOVED lilo and stitch. Seemed like he could care less about Mickey and Pluto. His eyes were shining.. they kept giving him so much attention. Kisses, hugs, etc. Lilo had her hand to his cheek at one moment, I almost cried. So touching, beats any Disney ad I've ever seen. They were so good to that little boy!!

The kids did their little dance around the room with the characters -I loved it! And, no. I didn't join in, as tempting as it was!

Finally- Lilo gets to us! She promptly- without asking if he wanted a picture- put her arm around DH. Girl after my own heart, that one!!

And me!

She saw my Stitch, and put her hand to her mouth and giggled. She fawned over it for a little bit, I believe she picked it up and petted it as well!

She was so sweet about signing him, though it took a bit to figure out where. Before she left she wagged her finger at Stitch, telling him to behave, I suppose, and walked off giggling.

Stitch came over, and I fell in love. He talked with both DH and I, I was estatic to hear the kiss sounds coming from him, his laugh, and etc. I didn't know they did that!?!?!

He flipped over the toy. He stole it almost immediately. See?

I could have died, right then and there. SO cute. So we got across to Stitch that we wanted him to sign it (I was nervous about talking to the non-face characters. Is it easy for them to hear us?)
Trying to find a place to sign....

Tada!

My two favorite boys:

Finally! The long awaited, picture with Stitch!

I also got a hug and a kiss.

DH and Pluto- this is cool, because DH had his picture taken with Pluto when he was really young.


Before I got licked....

And then Mickey! He shook DH's hand, but didn't offer to take a picture. Not sure why, but DH said he didn't mind.

Afterwards, we found a "cousin" and I said I wanted to talk to a manager. Poor things, everyone looked so nervous. I tried explaining that our cousin had simply been amazing, and had made our breakfast so much more special by suggesting we have Stitch signed... but I think they are just so used to complaints, they weren't sure what to make of it.

The manager was really nice, though looked a little perplexed that we came to talk to her about Twana being really nice. She said she appreciated our saying that, and would be passing it along.. I do hope she did!!

More later. Promise. But... I'm running late! Eeek.

 

[teekathepony]

Great update! Glad you got to spend some time with Stitch, and I love that he signed the plush, what a great keepsake!

 

[t_daniels]

Great update! Glad you got to spend some time with Stitch, and I love that he signed the plush, what a great keepsake!

Thanks!

And I KNOW! I would have never thought to do that! I just hoped it'd help get some good character interaction!

 

[t_daniels]

But! I have my photopass cd now! Which has the pictures I wanted to include in the next part of my TR. <3


First, here's one that was taken on the day we met Aladdin and Jasmine! The other ones from that day look basically just like the ones we took.
I wish I'd had photopass when we met Tigger! Ah well. Live, learn, and pre-order next year!

 

[t_daniels]

Ok. So, we finished Ohana... I'm still on a Lilo & Stitch high, so we decide to go through the gift shop.

Of course, we wander the hotel for a bit first. It's so pretty!

We get to the gift shop... only we don't see the plethora of all things Stitch that I'm expecting to see!

I wish we'd gotten a picture of the coconut postcards! Anyone see those? You can buy them for... 20 dollars, I think? Write on them with a sharpie, and the hotel sends them to someone! Expensive... but can you imagine, getting a coconut in the mail? I love it.

Anyway. Parts of the gift shop looked pretty picked clean. But, I found a pretty hair flower. Lots of them looked damaged.. but I found one I liked!

Then, I found coconut cups! I almost didn't buy it. It seemed silly. But I've always wanted to drink from a coconut. I'm a dork like that.
And it was cheap. And it had a purple flower that matched my hair flower. So, we got it.

After that, we went back to the hotel to drop off all our goods, then head to Animal Kingdom!

We skipped AK last year, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was ok, neat to look at - but it seemed hotter than all the parks!!

We walked around for a bit. Thought about doing a safari, but the wait was LONG. So we grabbed a frozen lemonade, thank you dining plan, and headed for the Maharajah Jungle Trek. I think we walked through the Pangani Trail as well... but the Maharajah stands out to me..

It was neat, we loved walking through the "ruins" and all. The birds were pretty... when we got to the bats, WOW...

I forget what we were looking at, when we asked a CM what was keeping all the animals (tigers, specifically) from coming over the little waist high fence at us. We didn't see a chain link fence... no cord like they have around the savannah at AKL..... nothing, to be honest. She hesitated... then told us nothing, really. That they just choose to, since they've lived/been brought up like this. They're well fed, well taken care of, etc.

Can anyone tell me if this is true, or if said CM was pulling our legs? DH and I disagree on this...

Either way, when we got to a point where we were inside the ruins, we looked out the window- and a tiger was staring at us.

I mean, literally. He was staring right at us.

It unnerved DH a bit, so he walked around to the other side of me... Yup. Tiger was for sure checking us out. Which, he started walking toward us.

And, didn't stop at a safe distance.

DH, who has common sense, leaned over and told me that if he wanted to, our new friend could probably come right through that glass. And that he didn't think direct eye contact was a good thing.

I nodded, and being the ever so cautious person I am, told him to get his phone out and snap a picture!

That wood you see? Yeah, thats the ruins, with the window in it. He was maybe 6 inches from our faces, depending on the width of the glass.

About this time, people started flocking over, because the tiger was so close. Then, Mr. Tiger looked at us, slowly turned around, and walked away.

I don't know if we were a planned lunch, if he's gotten so used to people oohing and ahhing over him that he knew he'd get attention, or what. But it was an amazing moment!

After that, we went up to Rafiki's Planet watch. I got pretty grumpy, I didn't understand exactly what the map was saying about it... DH and I had a mini fight, he was grumpy from getting sick on the trip.. needless to say when we got on the train, we weren't thrilled with each other.

Conservation station was cool... but more like any hands on museum I've been too. We saw Rafiki, and someone else I can't remember... and this guy.

Less than impressed with the petting zoo, we headed back to AK, to leave.

And caught some of the parade! Got a good spot on the corner! I wish I had a picture- King Louie gave me a kiss!

After that, we left AKL, went back to the room!

Well. Not quite. We started to leave- Guess who we found!!!?

Stitch was very upset I went for Lilo first. Just stood and looked at me dejected when I tried to hug him. : (

Still had my lei from Ohana on, and my hair flower. Lilo gingerly touched both of them, then pointed to her own. Awww. I loved it.

Finally got my hug. Love how DH and Lilo are just hanging out watching.

<3
More on this later! I'm out of time, and probably out of room for pictures!

 

[teekathepony]

Aww! What a great day! Lots of Stitch interaction! Lilo is so cute, I love that she pointed to your lei!

 

[t_daniels]

Aww! What a great day! Lots of Stitch interaction! Lilo is so cute, I love that she pointed to your lei!

Me too! <3<3 It was great!

How are you? I feel like I'm never on here anymore...

 

[t_daniels]

I've left off at such an awkward spot!
Sigh.

Anyway. Here goes.

After going to AK, DH and I headed back to our hotel room. (My feet were SO SORE. Flip flops- for me at least - were a bad idea. )

The plan was -- room service, then out to Downtown Disney, to see the last Harry Potter movie.

We make it back to the room, and I try to bring up AMC's site on my phone. (We didn't buy the internet usage in the room. We did last year... but didn't think to this year)
Of course, my internet on my phone wasn't cooperating.

Finally, we pull up the website, and find out that the last showing of the day, was going to start in ten minutes.

In short-- we weren't seeing Harry Potter that night.

So, we sit down to make the room service order. Flipping through the menu... we try to find what we got last year, because it was nothing short of amazing.

They had Matt's chicken sandwich... and they had my steak!

Only thing... my steak had different sides!

Last year, it had these amazing potato wedges, and green beans. This year... it had potato parsnip puree, and broccolini.

Hm. Yeah. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

So I call to place the order, and ask the poor lady a million questions about what the sides are. She was very nice about it, and didn't seem annoyed at all.

After I placed the order, I decided I wanted to go get a drink from the Victoria Falls bar, which is the bar that is sort of in between floors in the hotel. Beautiful place (as if the whole hotel isn't...)

I ended up ordering a Victoria Falls Mist - again passing up the Acai martini, that comes with a Acai seed bracelet... Next time!

This drink had banana, melon, and an African liquor similar to triple sec. So good!

Took it back to our room, along with the cherry coke I'd gotten for DH, and he was out on the balcony.

We sat for a bit, animal watched, drank our drinks.... until another, uninvited guest showed up!

a WASP. with a NEST nearby.

DH is allergic. So we very quickly moved inside.

And not long after that-- our order arrived!

We tend to go all out on room service , we usually only do it once a trip.

Our table, done up all pretty.

The bread was kinda sweet... interesting. Loved the butter though, had salt crystal type things in it. <3

Kenyan Coffee Encrusted Steak, with Broccolini and Potato- Parsnip puree. SO good. You couldn't even taste the parsnips.

Curried Seafood and Pearl Couscous Stew
DH changed his mind about the chicken sandwich, and tried this. He said this was good... not amazing though. And he couldn't really taste much of the curry.

Chilled Shrimp Appetizer. We got this last year too. I don't like the texture. DH loves it! Sauce is kinda odd.

Taste of Boma. Zebra dome, fruit tart, and a cafe latte tart. Mmmm.

After that, we hung out, watched TV, and fell asleep. Couldn't find a whole lot on, but! It was fun nonetheless.

 

[t_daniels]

Ok. First off, I think I'm going to start writing Matt instead of DH. I mean, why not, right ? I'm sure I've slipped up and typed it some already... so.... yeah.
---


So... little bit I forgot to add in to the end of day 2.

We had every intent of trying again to see Harry Potter. But, Matt was starting to feel sick, so we napped. But, set an alarm to wake us up in time to hit DTD and see it.

Alarm went off- we both woke up, and wanted to go.
But, I was exhausted, he was sickly... and those damn Disney beds are SO comfortable... sleep won.

We woke up from the nap a bit later, and Matt was feeling worse. Needed medicine. Of course... the gift shop is closed.

The front said that they could get a manager to come unlock it and get what we needed... but we would have to pay by a credit card, not cash. So, we decided to wait, he would just sleep till morning.

In the morning, I woke up, and headed to the gift shop. Not only did I grab alka seltzer, but the lady gave me a number of a pharmacy that could deliver meds to us if needed. Not that I thought we'd use it, but she offered, and I thought it would be a smart idea, just in case.

Then, I ran to Mara, the quick service restaurant in the hotel. Grabbed some eggs, potatoes and bacon. (Yay for the Disney Dining Plan!) Found out that for my dessert, I could grab an orange juice! So, Matt and I had orange juice, and split the Mara breakfast.

I felt horrible. He felt AWFUL, but didn't want to stay in the hotel the whole trip. So, we went ahead and went to Hollywood Studios.

First things first, we got Fastpasses for Star Tours.

Then, we headed to Tower of Terror.

Love, LOVE the set up /queue for this ride. I am immensely jealous of the lady on this forum who had her anniversary party IN THE RIDE. (Granted, it wasn't running... but talk about atmosphere!)

I would pay to stay in a HTH themed hotel. Disney needs to get on this asap!

There wasn't a terribly long line, so we got to the hotel pretty quickly. We were, unfortunately, behind some kids that kept giving us looks. Meh.

We get to the ride -- one of Matt's favorites, it being Twilight Zone themed and all-- and went on it.

Per usual, I was freaked out. But loved it. Had a dizzy spell on it.. but then again, with my shunt for the brain condition I have.... they don't want you on roller coasters or other rides with fast altitude changes, or whathaveyou.

Oops. Oh well.

After that, we browsed the gift shop-- but no shopping yet. We decided to just hit all the shops at the end of the night. Would be easier that way.

Then- outside the ToT, what did we find?!

Yup. A real coffee stand! Not Disney run! Not Nescafe! <3<3<3 I got coffee, Matt got some Earl Grey tea... poor thing was still not feeling well at all.

Off to the Backlot tour! (I think. If my order is a bit off, it's because my memory is fuzzy. Otherwise, the info is all here- promise!)

Same tour as last year... did see some different memorabilia in the boneyard though. Would be nice to sometime shell out the extra money to do some of the behind the scenes park tours...

Spent a good amount of time in the Villians building, naturally. Took some pictures last year, not as many this year.

I think this guy was technically in a Planet Hollywood shop we went in.. but shh. The picture can go here.. It fits.
After that... we headed to Star Tours.

Not...without protests from me.

Not that I didn't want to do Star Tours... it's just...

Well. I saw a face painting booth. With no line. So of course... I wanted to do it! We stood, looked at the options..... and decided to come back later.

Really.. Matt decided. He explained why it'd be a good idea... pointed out all the reasons that made sense.... and, I'm pretty sure I pouted. I wanted to do it now! Not later!!

But, he made sense. So, we waited.

Star Tours!

At first, I liked the new setup. The line was fun, good atmosphere.

The ride itself, I liked the aspect of having different stories.

The 3D gave me a headache. Didn't look all 3D-y (I can't see 3D anyway. So... eh. )

The ride was a LOT shorter than I remember.

I really prefer the old one, all around, I think. Not that this one was bad.. just not the best, in my opinion. You know?

Quick picture before the ride started...

Lunch was next! With, the excruciating decision: Pizza Planet, or the Backlot Express.

Pizza won out. (i think because I was still wishing for more Via Napoli...) . Which, the individual pizzas were really good! The castmember taking orders was nice... Crowd wasn't too bad.
We found a table upstairs! And I didn't get lost or separated from my husband without a cell phone!! (very unhappy Disney moment from last year. )
The pizzas were good- but what surprised me was how much I liked the mini Caesar salad. As a rule -- I don't like Caesar salad. I LOVED this though. Made myself eat it very slow.

The cookie for dessert was amazing, too!

Let's see.... what did we do next?

I believe, we found Mike and Sully for pictures! Last year, we passed this opportunity up, because it was only Mike. Matt wasn't too keen about standing in line with a bunch of kids for just Mike. Now Sully.... that, he would do.

HOW DO YOU HUG AN EYEBALL.

I'm in here somewhere!

You can't tell it. But he really was enjoying it...

We walked around DHS some more... looked in a lot of shops/ buildings.
Finally got to do my face painting! Couldn't make up my mind what I wanted... so I finally picked the music one. The guy doing it was nice. Very, very quick with the painting.

I was paranoid the rest of the day that it would come off.
It stayed.... pretty well. Near the end of a night was a different story though.

Went through ... oh lord, I don't remember. The Walt Disney building.... One Man, I forgot the name! It tracks Walt's history, the history of the parks, ends in a little movie?

Anyway. We saw that too. It was neat. I wouldn't mind reading some of the books out on him. Both the official, and unofficial. Seems like it'd be an interesting read....
Random pics from that place:

After that, we went to see Beauty and the Beast. I was VERY excited to see this. I <3 that movie. I love that princess. A book nerd, I mean, come on! I identify better with her than any of the princesses. And Matt had NEVER SEEN THE MOVIE.

We got into the theater, and got a seat. Not the best seat, but not bad at all!

Matt was eyeing the catwalks and ladders... was afraid for a moment he'd try to climb them!!

The show started- I LOVED it. It was so unique to see a movie I loved as a kid broadway style. I will admit. I teared up. And felt a bit crazy, but gave up caring. It was well done, (really well done, considering it was a 20 minute show!) and was just as magical as everything else at WDW.

I want to kick myself for not remembering where in the timeline this took place... but at one point during the day, we ended up in one of the Animation buildings.

SO many pretty pictures. We'd been through a few already on the trip, just looking.

I was looking at one of the artist of the days sketches for something Stitch related, when Matt tried to get my attention.

I was a little annoyed- I mean, I wanted to find Stitch! So I waved him off, and told him I was looking for Stitch. He understands me well enough, that's all I have to say.

But no... he was so persistent! I think he actually came over, grabbed my hand, and had me follow him.

And this is what I saw:

Guess who was no longer annoyed?!
We looked it up on the computer, and found that, and another Stitch painting.
This is my FAVORITE. Love ANYTHING about the book, or the ducklings. So sweet. We also liked that it was darker, so not as cartoony.

Somewhere in there, Matt became serious about buying the picture. I was still in dreamy-isnt-it-pretty-maybe-someday-mode.

We bought it.

I was still in shock hours later.

We went from plenty of souvenir money... to where we had to watch it and be cautious.

This is the first painting I've ever bought! An actual, original, painting. I'm getting all giddy again, thinking about it. It is now hanging in our room, over the bed. So pretty!

On our way out of the park.. we got cornered by a survey guy. We decided what the heck, and followed him into his "office" to take the survey.

When...we saw this:

Probably won't mean much to anyone on the boards that doesn't know me... but remember the bit in my Ohana update about the band Matt works with?

They use two of these buckets.

We just can't get away!

After that, we headed off to Epcot for dinner at the UK. <3<3 Rose and Crown. We started off trying to walk, but gave up and hopped a bus. Figured it would be easier to walk from Epcot back to DHS to see Fantasmic... since we had a definite starting point.

Dinner was fabulous. Matt had fish and chips, I had the surf and turf.

So. Much. Food.

Matt was in heaven, it was the UK... it was rainy drizzly outside... etc etc.

Finally, we finish eating, order coffee to go, and head back towards DHS , to see Fantasmic.

It's still drizzly. So, we stop in a shop to buy a poncho.

Of course, they are down to only childrens sizes.

Looking back, not entirely sure why I bought it. It didn't cover my head - which is the only reason I wanted it!

We headed out the international gateway, and started walking towards the Boardwalk. Which, would take us right to Hollywood Studios! Easy, peasy, right?

Nope!

We walked forever, and finally ended up at the boardwalk. Which... looked like it just circled?

Wasn't sure how this one was going to work... so we stopped at some hotel to just wait on a bus.

It was rainy. My face paint was a mess. And it was cold.

I was glad we had so much time before Fantasmic! We missed it last year- I wasn't about to miss it again- Matt really wanted to see it!

So many buses came and went- FINALLY a bus for DHS showed.

We learned the hotel was the Yacht and Beach club. We have a special place in our heart for that hotel. It's a black.. and cold... and dark place . But nonetheless!

We get to DHS, the parks pretty empty.... but as we walk towards the theater... we soon learn why.

The whole damn park is in line for Fantasmic!

I want a pretzel. I don't want to wait an hour in line.

No pretzel places are open nearby... and if Matt goes with me to look further... we lose our spot.

So I get more cranky. Even more so the longer we wait.

Finally, we get let in.

Which, is cool. It's like an entire mini park in there! Long walkways back to where Fantasmic shows... I didn't realize that!

There's even snack stands back there. Which, I didn't get a pretzel from... because we sat down first, and I am so directionally impaired its not funny. I wouldn't have found my way back to my seat.

Fantasmic was cool. I'll have to con DH into writing a review, or think about it some more, then come back. I don't know if I'd go through the wait again though.... it was pretty ridiculous!

 

[teekathepony]

Great update! I am so jealous that you go to meet Mike and Sully! Sully is my favourite character ever! Hahaha, great pictures, love the face paint!
