An Illuminations Cruise....I am so happy for you guys....and happy for all of us that get to enjoy your TR and pictures of it

 

[WrightFamily06]

Oh my gosh I hadn't even thought of the pictures! Dale will go picture taking crazy I haven't even told him yet about the cruise. I'm trying to decide if I should make it a surprise? I'm not very good at secrets though

I can't believe you hadn't thought about the pic's ! lol Glad Dale will be taking lots of pictures for all your dis friends I'm not good at keeping secrets at all about things like that and it's hard to keep surprise from me ! lol

Well we've kept it a secret for 24 hours now I'm hoping we can hold out and surprise him but I'm not sure.

Today is our resort switching day so I am guessing we will be feeling pretty sad today

We have an ADR at Cape May at 8:50
We all really enjoy Cape May for breakfast so this should be a fun way of spending some extra time in the Epcot resort area!

After our ADR we will split up until our Akershus dinner at 5
This is our first time eating dinner there so that should be fun!

I will be heading to Blizzard beach!
I am very excited to check out both of the water parks on our trip! I haven't been to either of the water parks since I was in 8th grade so this should be fun!

My parents will be spending the morning at the Boardwalk pool and will grab counter service for lunch at either DTD or POP and will take care of checking in at POP then will meet me at POP later on.

After dinner we will be hitting up anything we may have missed at Epcot.

Some up in the air plans are:
ADR at 8:05 for Oktoberfest-just to check it out and relax
Watching Wishes from the Poly beach at 9- we have been wanting to do this and think the view would be amazing!

Oh My - It IS going to be hard to leave the Boardwalk, but at least you still have plenty of trip left.

I can't wait until I stay at the Boardwalk. You must be getting so excited by now. Not like you want to wish away your summer, but so nice to know the trip will cap off the end of your summer!

Is it still a secret ????

Plans for the 31st sound great I'm sure it will be very hard checking out of the BW and going over to Pop At least u will still be at WDW though !

Actually I just blew the surprise

My mom is looking for another DIS family to share the boat with us and I stupidly asked if she had any bites on the boat in front of my dad

 

[dawnbu40]

Your timing was perfect since Caitlin had literally just let the cat out of the bag

The truth is I knew we could never keep it a secret for 2.5 months! We blab everything

Dale loved the idea though and is looking forward to the ride!

Resort switching day....that one made me sad too! When we went from SSR to AKL didn't bother me a bit, but when we went from AKL to ASMu....that stung It wasn't even the room, or the pool (although I certainly appreciated the lovely young lady who would bring me my pina colada's) it was the buses. When you go from so much room on the bus to squished like sardines....but we kept saying at least we're still here

I told Jasmine that you were going to BB by yourself and I wish you could have seen the look on her face She is very quite and reserved and finds it hard to leave her comfort zone (she doesn't get that from me) so I think she wishes she could. She said if we were there she would go with you

Akershus....I don't think it matters how old you are, the princesses are still special...even for me The desserts here were so yummy!!

I'm thinking of the split stay as 2 vacations in 1 and since they are both at my Happy Place, I'm excited about both

Caitlin said to tell Jasmine that if our trips overlap next year, they "need to do a waterpark day togther!"

We've only had breakfast at Akershus so we are looking forward to the dinner. You're so right that the Princesses are special

 

[meeko_33785]

The plans look pretty good. I really liked Cape May when we did it last year, and Octoberfest at the Biergarten was a lot of fun too.

Thanks. We're trying not to plan too much. We just want to assign park days and adrs and then do what we feel like.

Glad to hear you enjoyed Cape May! We are looking forward to both dinner and breakfast there!

Hope you have fun at Blizzard Beach! We went in 2007 and absolutely LOVED it!!!

That is a great way to think about it....if everything works out for next summer that's exactly what I'll go, thanks Dawn for reminding me how lucky we are to be at our Happy Place

Jasmine would love that...she loved BB but was not happy that her mother wouldn't do some of the bigger thrill rides....I think she might have been trying to do me in

I'm looking forward to hearing what you think about dinner....we too love the breakfast there...those potatoes....I can taste them right now

 

[wdwgirl03]

Oooh, Blizzard Beach will be fun! We haven't been there in ages either but it was such a blast. I loved the Tobaggan racers.

I am looking forward to going to two hotels though! I think it will be like getting two vacations for one!

I can't wait either! I am super excited!

Hope you have fun at Blizzard Beach! We went in 2007 and absolutely LOVED it!!!

Thank you I am really looking forward to it!

I am so excited to try out the big rides! I think my mom thought I was trying to kill her after on ride I dragged her on this past trip

I am really looking forward to trying dinner there! I agree their breakfast is so good so I hope their dinner is as well!

Oooh, Blizzard Beach will be fun! We haven't been there in ages either but it was such a blast. I loved the Tobaggan racers.

I haven't been there in forever as well! I made a decision that I would go to both of them since whenever we usually go it was never hot enough and I think going in August will change that

On Friday Caitlin and I were discussing our Illuminations Cruise and decided we'd post it on the "Illuminations Cruise Share" board and see if any Dissers would care to join us. We've already heard from a family a 4 (they have 2 teenagers) and they are going to cruise with us This will cut our cost in half and free up some money for another special activity Caitlin wants to do I am really hoping this will be a great way to start our vacation

Dale loved the idea though and is looking forward to the ride!

You two what am I going to do with you I truly thought you were gonna last longer than that ! I would have told the first day

Glad to hear that Dale loves the idea though and you were able to get another family to split the cost with you


Can't wait to see what the other special thing is your gonna do on your trip

Fantastic!

Oh, do tell!

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

Since we were asked what the extra thing I am doing was I figured I would tell everyone and post a picture from the Detorit Tigers game I went to tonight that I thought my DIS friends would appreciate.

Isn't Mickey adorable?!

The extra activity I will be doing is..................... SURF LESSONS AT TYPHOON LAGOON! I have taken the surf lesson before when we went on my senior year trip and I have been wanting to do it again so in exchange for Universal Studios I am going to take them! I am a little sad I won't be seeing the new Harry Potter World but I believe the surf lessons are worth it! I will be taking them Friday, September 3 and then spending the rest of the day at Typhoon Lagoon
