Ready, Set, Let the Games Begin! - Link to new PTR/TR!

Last full day is coming to a close...we are on our way to the MNSSHP to meet up with PIO and other folks. It sure has been fun and the fun isn't over yet. I won't be able to get into the TR fully as we have have about 36 hours at home before we turn around and hopnon a plane to Atlanta.

Once I get back i'll do my best, but don't forget I still have my Expo TR to finish so I waill be tag teaming betwwen the two once I get back.wish us a happy Halloween party and you can always jlin in on PIo's report whwn she gets home in a week or so. I'm sure she will post a link here and her story will be interesting as wel since she took a detour to Phoenix, the Southwest and many points inbetween.
 
I can't believe that your trip is nearly over. Time definitely flies. Have fun at the Halloween party.

Last full day already!? Glad you're having such a great trip :)

That was so sweet if Fran to fix the scooter situation when she did. And very cool they delivered it to the GF.

Breakfast looks great. I've canceled two reservations there so far, hopefully one day I can keep one.

I love when bus magic happens, it makes things so nice. I must say that the location of everything in CA really won me over, it was fabulous having everything so close.
 

Hard to believe that it is almost the last day!

Have a wonderful time, and enjoy your Happy Halloween!
 
Love the pictures of the character breakfast! Adorable! It was great meeting you! Enjoy the party tonight! The pins are cute but get in line early those lines get long!

Enjoy and safe flight home.
 
Great group shot! :thumbsup2 How did I miss that? :upsidedow


Love the character photos too. Such happy faces! pixiedust:


Sounds like all of the meets were a great success. :grouphug:
 
Another trip to Atlanta! This is a busy month for you. Hope you had a great time at MNSSHP to wrap up your WDW trip.
 
:love: thank you for what you said about WL :love: so sweet & we will talk more about that

Love your pictures I haven't eaten at 1900 for breakfast in a very long time, had dinner there on my birthday in Sept and it was fabulous ! I'll be posting that soon ;)

You know no matter how I try I just can't get the selfie pictures down :confused3 guess I better practice you look great So wonderful that the scooter guy diverted over to you, what a time saver !

We'll figure out something for VWL! I cant wait to see your pics from 1900. I got good at the selfies on the cruises since Fran would be tired and I would run around the ship doing stuff with no one to take my picture.

Sorry about last night, I just started fading so fast, we had to get out of there. Besides, if I didn't get home by midnight, the bus would have turned into a pumpkin!

Great pics of your 1900 breakfast. That's wonderful you were able to get a scooter so quick, I'm looking forward to your next update.

It worked out very well. Hopefully with a lot of time to kill in the next few hours, I will get something written.

I got to see your group picture on the Old Fogies thread yesterday and it was a great group photo.

That is great news to hear that you are able to get a scooter during your trip without renting one at the parks. I remember during my WDW last year in October/November that my family got a scooter & ECV and it took us awhile to sign the waiver of using the ECV. It did took part of our time when we are at the park.

Very nice photos from the GF and breakfast from 1900. I will look forward to your next update.

It's nice to have a scooter that you can take back to your hotel, sometimes the walk from the room is a killer all by itself!

Looks like a fun time at 1900 PF
Must get myself over there at some point, if only to try the strawberry soup ! :)

We go there just for the soup. Otherwise the offerings are fairly similar to other locations with character breakfasts.

Breakfast looks fantastic. I love all of the character pictures (even the selfies). Mostly, I think it is sweet that Fran arranged the scooter for you before you even mentioned your pain. You did the same for her by automatically giving her the one working scooter. The love you two share is awesome.

:love: :goodvibes

Mmmmmm strawberry soup. Haven't had that in so long. Have had DCL's version but it's not the same.

The one at Palo is a little more herbaceous, we like it to but this one wins hands down!
 
That is so amazing!

That is wonderful that it was MORE than expected!

It was really great, I'm not sure that I can do it justice with pictures, since I didn't take any, but hopefully PIO's TR will show just how great it was. You saw the group pic from Ed (SunDial).

Breakfast looks awesome.... Do you find the character breakfasts crowded? There has to be a ton of children?

How loud does it get? David is a little hard of hearing and the loud crowd noises get to him sometimes.

There are quite a bit of kids, and they are definitely always busy. We were not the only Childfree peeps in there though and they have a number of two-tops set up, and I'm sure they are not for single parents.

It can be hit or miss, sometimes they are great and pretty casual. Other times, you get a screaming kid who is either afraid of the characters or just plain having a bad day, but the parent refuses to improve the enjoyment of others around and just tells them to "shut up". I think the later you go to breakfast, they better chance for quiet you have. Most families with little kids want to get into MK ASAP.

Alison, I had to start the TR from the beginning. Didn't want to miss anything, especially the food porn. :rotfl:

I've been meaning to tell you that Fran looks so much like my husband's aunt (of course, when she was much younger). Every time I see Fran's picture, I think fondly of Aunt Helen.

Well, I'm glad you're enjoying the food porn! That is something I like to feel proud of. I will have to tell her about her resemblance to Aunt Helen.

That breakfast looks amazing and strawberry soup for breakfast is just my idea of heaven. That was a bit of good luck that the bus took you right to the Grand Floridian and that you had the scooter before you left the hotel.

For the most part, we had a lot of pixie dust this trip. pixiedust:: We lucked out on a lot of occasions, so for the most part it was a good trip.

I can't believe that your trip is nearly over. Time definitely flies. Have fun at the Halloween party.

Corinna

I know, with every GREAT experience and DISmeet we had I knew it was just one step closer to being over.

Almost over? :sad1: Enjoy MNSSHP! Its a total blast. :cool1: Don't forget to get your pictures with the hitchhiking ghosts.

I think we did, PIO took care of that.

Last full day already!? Glad you're having such a great trip :)

She is very sweet and takes wonderful care of me. You really need to go there sometime, you won't regret it, especially if you are staying there! I do find that I get annoyed having to wait for buses and boats and things, it is nice having everything right there, but then again there are so many more resorts and different experiences to be had at WDW they have to have space in between them all.

Hard to believe that it is almost the last day!

Have a wonderful time, and enjoy your Happy Halloween!

Thanks! We had a very nice time!

Love the pictures of the character breakfast! Adorable! It was great meeting you! Enjoy the party tonight! The pins are cute but get in line early those lines get long!

Enjoy and safe flight home.

We had fun at the party, but still there wasn't enough time to do much of anything and see what we wanted. That's the trouble with Disney, too much to do, so little time!

Safe travels today ladies. :goodvibes

Great group shot! :thumbsup2 How did I miss that? :upsidedow


Love the character photos too. Such happy faces! pixiedust:


Sounds like all of the meets were a great success. :grouphug:

Thank you! ::yes:: the meets were great fun!

Another trip to Atlanta! This is a busy month for you. Hope you had a great time at MNSSHP to wrap up your WDW trip.

Well, it's only my first time to Atlanta. Normally we don't like our trips, so close together, but this time we didn't have a lot of choice.

:thumbsup2 to both.

I know, I can't believe it. :sad2:

I know. It all ends so soon! :sad2:
 
OK, one quick thing before I get on the plane. We were at Epcot today trying some of our last tastes of F&W. As we were sitting at one of the noshing tables, a gal came up to us and asked, "Are you on the DISboards? Are you the one that put a Prime Rib in your suitcase and brought it all the way here and cooked it?"

My jaw about hit the floor.

She told me that she was a lurker, and that her boyfriend had read the report too, and they were arguing if it was us, so she decided to settle it by coming over and asking. Wow. :faint:




:rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl: :laughing:


See ya when I get home!

It's nice to have a scooter that you can take back to your hotel, sometimes the walk from the room is a killer all by itself!

I can understand that. With the time of getting the scooter at the park and have to drop it off when we leave is time consuming. I'm trying to convince my aunt (not my DA that you talked to at the D23 Expo, my dad's sister) who is going with me to the DLR in December and has walking issues of getting a rental scooter somewhere off-site so we won't have to go through the process of getting an ECV on-site. I have looked at a few different places in Anaheim that rents scooters so she can drive it back to the room without renting the DLR scooters. I was wondering if there is a specific place to call or look online that rents scooters.

She does have a ECV but we will be driving down in a van and space is tight so she doesn't want to bring it down to Socal.

I also have uploaded the 5:40pm Mickey and the Magical Map show at DL on Sunday September 15th during our DISmeet that day.
