[cheekypoppins]

Hi there Ms. Cheekypoppins. I'm glad to sign on and join in your TR. I'm glad we were able to meet - brief as it was.

YAY you made it WElcome I'm glad I got to meet you aswell.

Charity is my Hello Kitty girl...too girly for Jillian. Yay for airport fun!!! I really do love airports. I love road trips, too...I just love to travel!

Oh girl where are ya when I need u ,i think i need a direct line to your boss so i can tell him the days that he needs to give u a lighter work load,msg me when u can I need to chat please. Charity is a doll so is jilly Bean n Babe of course!

You make a really good point regarding kids and tantrums. I think we have have even had a discussion about that. In my opinion, it is always best to give the benefit of the doubt. You don't know the story behind the behaviour. The same holds true for people using wheelchairs, etc. Yes, some legit don't need it, but I would never assume. There are so many issues that can't be seen.

OK... Now get on DME already!!!!

Oh i was gonna jump into talking about dme when I updated last night but i wanted to wait n give people a chance to reply to riley's notes too.
yeah rob it's true we never know what is going on with people and how much judging can affect them,i get a lot of flack for h's behaviours sometimes because she "looks normal" but I'm going to get off that topic for now because todays been a hard day here so I'll just say that we really miss you n hope you are doing well,and can we just rewind back to the xmas party night? or illuminations?Something? anything? Let's go back to WDW!!!!

 

[cheekypoppins]

9 rob are u ready? it's DME TIME!!!) Hey okay so Hello kitty store check Dme was next on the list so we headed down there only to find That we did not get a DME bus at all EUCH! Well hello boring yellow bus not worthy of a pic! I will however post a pic of the sign because it has awesome stickers!!



and of course once again we got THE BEST SPOT IN THE LOT BAYBEE!!!! For those of you who don't know the best spot in the lot is the front row of course,and why is this awesome? well because that means you're sure to get a pic of the gates of heaven right? YUP! even when u have a sucky bus driver that doesn't mention it's coming,but that's okay we're not bitter or anything lol

but before we get to that I had to get a pic of my Princess on the bus!



I still don't know how I managed to create such beauty,but I'm glad i did!!!


getting close......





and tadaaaaaaa




instant tears I was so happy to be back!!

There was a cute little family sat next to us & i couldn't help but adore these kids they were super precious!The dad offered me to take them home and I told him I gladly would especially since the little girl kept squealing how happy she was to be in disney and you wanna know the icing on the cake? SHE WANTED TO GO TO EPCOT FIRST!!!! Now that is perfection if i do say so myself!So obviously she was aewsome n would fit perfectly in my fam.



When we got on the Masgical express we got front row seats.......(AWESOME) It was amazing view to see all the All Star Resorts,OMG when we got to our hotel it was HERBIE THE LOVE BUG.it had a Mighty ducks pool,fantasia pool and a little kid pool that had glacier things.

So eventually we got to all star movies,checked in 9which took way longer than it needed too,little did I know the guy checking us in would make a major mistake!)
We made our way to our room again in The Herbie Section ( we stayed there in 08)




and I don't know what inspired this next pic but here it is....



i did the usual bed bug check before settling anything into our room ,and it was all clear YAYYYY!!



OMg did u see that? COMFORTERS WOOHOOO,i don't know if you guys have noticed the online uproar about Disney getting rid of the Comforters but that had me worried so i was very relieved to see that our room still had them







By this time I realised we were late for a very important date so we dropped our stuff n set off in seek of a dining adventure like none other!

 

[Pluto0809]

We got one of those boring yellow buses on the way back to the airport. I hated not being able to see the departure video, we watched America's Funniest Videos instead.

The Herbie section looks really cute! All Star Movies will be the only one of the All Stars I haven't stayed in after we stay at Sports in February.

Can't wait to see where you were headed for lunch!

 

[nolacindy]

I'm in! I always feel bad for people on the non-disney buses, if feels like you get shorted an experiance!

 

[Fixit Felix]

WOW! I just fell through a wormhole in the galaxy K452 n somehow ended up here! So, here i am, reading the latest tr. Enjoying so far, hope theres lots more from the newby reporter, she looks so grown up

I've stayed at all 3 all stars twice now and can honestly say sports is my fave of the 3 but i think I'm a moderate snob now lol I noticed such a huge difference this time around,so I'm pretty sure I'm done with the All Stars for a very long time.

I'm in! I always feel bad for people on the non-disney buses, if feels like you get shorted an experiance!

It was weird not having the video and not having the driver prepare us for the gates ,but we were still in Disney so thats a plus right!

Everytime i write a section in my trip journal I have her write a section too so I will be typing things exactly how she writes it,just a warning her spelling is very phonetic sometimes!

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

DME!!!!!!!! Even if the bus sucked, it's still taking you to the mother land, so it's all good.

OK, so I TOTALLY zoned out and forgot about the text color change being Riley's part. But I'm fully up to speed now. And I will now use different colors for comments as well.

I'm just so thrown by the glasses as I never saw either of you wearing glasses that I can remember. But then my memory isn't always the best which should make for an interesting trip report since I have no notes.

YAY front row seats!!! So glad you were excited to see the all the All Stars and HERBIE!!!!!

Aww, the All Star rooms are so cute.

 

[cheekypoppins]

our lunch date today was a surprise almost even to me! about 3 days before it was time To leave for Buffalo I noticed that a reservation at Le Cellier opened up and so I had to snag it because that never happens ever!!!!
So we got on a bus n then I had this silly thought that since we were so late it wouldn't hurt that much if we stopped for a few quick photopass pics,besides i couldn't resist since pluto was out with almost no line.
On our trip in May hailey and I had a pic with Goofy taken for Ry on our first day so it was only right that R n I do the same for h with her fave character also on our first day. so we first got one at the rentrance and then one with pluto.(Ariana be proud)

What in the heck is going on with my bangs there? I have no idea lol!

then we stepped it into high gear and arrived at our destination



because we ewere so late they had to squeeze us in somewhere n we waited about 20 minutes which is totally fair considering they could've turned us away



once we were sat we ordered our drinks and our food because I knew exactly what i wanted before we even got there.our server asked us if we wanted american shirley temples or canadian made shirley temples Like is that even a question LOl no offence friends but I much prefer the Canadian version which is not just sprite n grenadine but also orange juice! we ordered Rileys with a glow cube (aka perfect pool toy) and i was surprised that they were perfect because they usually don't have enough grenadine for my liking ( we order these alot at home)



mmm yum just look at that delicious pretzel bread! Hard to believe the people at the table next to us didn't like it WHAT? WHO SAYS THAT??? UGH They have no idea!
So for those of you who have been to Le Cellier before you may recall that they divide the restaurant into sections of different canadian provinces(last time we were in Nova scotia ,wendy wu n Rob be proud!) this time we were sat in New Bruinswick hmmm how perfect since we ordered lobster poutine made with new Bruinswick lobster! IT WAS TO DIE FOR!!! Just look at those giant chunks of lobster well worth the 14.99 price very filling n very delicious!!



it had a creamy buttery sauce n cheese it was pure perfection and my mouth is watering just thinking about it!If you like seafood i highly reccomend this!Now a word from Miss Riley........

When we got to Epcot We had to go meet Pluto for Hailey.
then we walked to the Canadian restorant called "Le Celyea"
Oh the great taste of Lobster poutine it was so awesome oh and I had a great tasting shirly temple.

Aww, the All Star rooms are so cute.

Yeah I'm in shock that I found you so easily the first night with the fact that I wasn't wearing my glasses at that point

yeah i had lots of fun at the hotel with Duffy

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Eugh! No fun when it's not a real DME bus! Yucky!!!

But YAY for front row seats! I LOVE getting front row seats... I can remember 2 of my many DME trips, I had front row. It's so much better for pictures.


Ok... don't be offended, but I am a teacher and I have to ask, are you a Boston Bruins fan? Because I'm sure some Boston fans might like the way you're spelling New Brunswick...

Anyways, I never actually knew that they divided the restaurant into provinces! I've never eaten there. I know that they sell soup that everyone likes, they sing O Canada when they open, and they used to sell PEI mussels, but I didn't know that they divided the restaurant into provinces. Too fun!

OMG bahaha lol I had no idea I was spelling it wrong at all most of the time i just speak jibberish this is why i'm the typo queen lol too funny here i was talking about my daughters spelling when mine isn't much better LOL

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Aww that's such a great idea getting those photos done for each other. That's just precious!!

Wow Le Cellier. I'm impressed.

YAY Nova Scotia represent!

This is just too sweet meeting Pluto for Hailey. I also remember drinking Shirley Temples. I LOVED THEM!!!

Yeah I'm in shock that I found you so easily the first night with the fact that I wasn't wearing my glasses at that point

OMG, I never even thought of that. I guess the shirt helped, lol. Yeah, I planned that.

yeah i had lots of fun at the hotel with Duffy

Aww Santa Duffy

 

[DisneyWithMe]

On our trip in May hailey and I had a pic with Goofy taken for Ry on our first day so it was only right that R n I do the same for h with her fave character also on our first day.

That is SO sweet! D did that on our trip for my husband, she was convinced that his favourite characters are the Green Army Men from Toy Story so she got a pic with them even though they kind of scare her.

Sooooo I did not know there were Canadian Shirley Temples. I havent' had one in a long long long time (American style I mean) and now I have to order a Canadian style one. That pretzel bread looked amazing, those people are just snobs. XD

When we got to Epcot We had to go meet Pluto for Hailey.
then we walked to the Canadian restorant called "Le Celyea"
Oh the great taste of Lobster poutine it was so awesome oh and I had a great tasting shirly temple.

"Celyea"! That's the best phonetic spelling EVER! No seriously, it makes perfect sense And a girl who loves lobster has her head on straight.

Yeah we are seafood people in this house omg except hubby whats wrong with him he's mr anti Disney n doesn't like lobster Ugh that's it i'm trading him in D for a Chipmunk!

 

[cheekypoppins]

I might have ate more of that poutine than I could handle,because I was slow movin after that and feelin very sluggish.we were in serious turtle mode as we made our way to use our first FP + of the trip (or not) at SpaceShipEarth.we scanned our magic bands and were denied ,I had no idea why?The Cm then told me that we didn't have FP for that and I said oh thats odd because i even had a cm check n tell me all of my fp selections the day prior just to be sure.She then told me very rudely that I obviously didn't have it n without paper proof she wasn't letting me on the ride"the system says you don't have it so that means you don't and I will not let you in without it" Well I looked up n noticed that the wait was only 5 minutes so I got in line and went on anyways ( I so badly wanted to stick my tongue out at her)
I love this ride so much plus it's one of the few I rode as a child with my gran that is still around.I have about a million and one pics of it though so I on;ly took a few this time around.





then Riley wanted to go to that "popstore" aka Club cool so we started off in that direction.




I had forgotten that they changed their Flavours so now I was eager to try them.



The ones that I liked were Greece,Thailand,Japan and Peru the rest were worse than Beverly to me Especially the red one with the Raspberry whatever YUCKERZ!!!!
Now that we had some time to kill we walked over to snag a few pics of the Gospel Performers





OMG then it hit me!! I had a mission to complete (yes it's true gospel music made me think of my sweet friend Oopsi)So I went into .........



I was in search of a new Disney license Plate for her and I found 2 that I thought were cute so I bought both because I couldn't decide lol ( I am not posting a pic because I want her to see them first of course)

THen I saw the cutest things ever(besides my girls )



and this that I didn't buy and am still kicking myself over



Its reversible like really could there be a better ear hat? Um I think NOT! An ear hat with both my munks one on each side n I didn't buy it like what in the World was I thinking? WAit that's the problem I obviously was NOT thinking clearly at all. Then we magically teleported and found ourselves on the Monorail



and I'll leave with this until next time when you find out just where we were going...........

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Oh Carrie, I'm so sorry you got a rude CM on Spaceship Earth. My FP's never worked either (maybe it's a Canadian thing, lol), but thankfully I didn't have any rude CM's and they more often than not let me through anyway. Strange that this one was so strict especially with only a 5 MINUTE WAIT!!

And OMG, I just realized I never rode this at all last trip.

Bahaha "popstore".

OK I am SHOCKED you didn't buy the munk ears. Like drop dead, keel over, SHOCKED!

Awwwwwww I love that pic of you two on the monorail. <3

 

[DisneyWithMe]

The Cm then told me that we didn't have FP for that and I said oh thats odd because i even had a cm check n tell me all of my fp selections the day prior just to be sure.She then told me very rudely that I obviously didn't have it n without paper proof she wasn't letting me on the ride"the system says you don't have it so that means you don't and I will not let you in without it"

I feel a little bad for CMs because I think they are getting abused over the FP+ stuff every time something goes wrong - and things sure do go wrong... Having said that there's no excuse for treating you (or any guest, but especially someone who is not giving attitude right off the bat) that way!! Honestly, the ONLY things that can really ruin a WDW experience for me are rude CMs. (My husband imagines them everywhere when he goes. I don't know why. He has all these stories about how a CM really didn't like him/us. XD)

But seriously. They are the custodians of the guests' experience at WDW and no matter what kind of day they are having they need to leave it at the door. I'm not unsympathetic and I have made excuses for CMs who have yelled back at guests who are yelling at them, but not just plain rude to guests.

MOVING ON!

I had forgotten that they changed their Flavours so now I was eager to try them.

...

The ones that I liked were Greece,Thailand,Japan and Peru the rest were worse than Beverly to me Especially the red one with the Raspberry whatever YUCKERZ!!!!

Well, that's disappointing. I don't like cream soda but I do like raspberry and there was something about "Raspberry cream soda" that had me at hello, but I'm going to trust your opinion on this one.

THen I saw the cutest things ever(besides my girls )

I just wanted to tell you that D knows you as my friend who loves the chipmunks And my son saw this pic over my shoulder from across the room and went 'Awwwwww!!!' and came running over. So apparently you're right!

I want to be teleported onto the Monorail! Can you do that again, just for me??

 

[Pluto0809]

PLUTO!!!!

Le Cellier is soooo yummy! I can't wait to have that Pretzel bread again in February. Oh and the steak isn't bad either.

What a rude CM at SE Earth! I'm wondering now if I should go ahead and print out my FP+ selections to take with me for the February trip. I can always look them up on my I-phone but the My Disney Experience app is very unreliable.

Monorail! Can't wait to see where you guys were headed. I didn't make it onto the Monorail at all in October.

 

[DMGeurts]

Oh wow - I am VERY late to your TR Cheeky - I am so sorry - but I wanted to stop by to wish you and your family a Happy Holiday... Now I need to go back and read...

D~
