Small Po-taaaaa-toes! My 09/11 TR & Pics from 02/12!

The next morning Joe and I had breakfast at the resort and stopped to take a few pictures before we headed over to DHS. We really love this park.

I remember us spending a lot of time at DHS. In fact, we left at closing. We rode TSMM a couple of times, we were in Star Tours too many times to count and I saw BatB, which for me is a must do.

All in all, it was a great day.
 
Ugh, I was so not looking forward to Day 12. We were going home. Boooooo

We met Stef and Dave for breakfast at MK. We had an early ADR since we had a flight out at 1.

We checked in at CP and waited to be called.

It wasn't too long before we were called and seated. Check out the decorations. We were helping Stef and Dave celebrate their honeymoon.

Dave and Joe had a fabulous time busting on piglet. Every time he passed Joe would say "mmmmm, bacon."

The food was good and so was the character interaction. Given we had no kids with us, it was nice that we were able to get some time with them other than just a wave.

After breakfast we headed out to get a few final pictures. Our tradition is that before we leave for the airport, we see Mickey's Philharmagic.

And there we were at the end of another trip. I was so sad to see it end. We had a blast with Jenn, Bob and the kids, my friends from work, meeting for a drink with KatMark, dinner with Chuck and Mary and meeting our friends, Stef and Dave, from England for the very first time.

Disney is such a magical place. I just cannot get enough of it.

I end this TR with this:

May your dreams be filled with Pixie Dust.
 
You can just see how much those two are enjoying themselves! I love when the characters give just as much attention even when you don't have little ones with you! Great TR my friend!:thumbsup2
 

Great updates :) CP was so much fun and the character interaction was fantastic. Those boys I tell you, teasing poor Piglet, I just wish we had filmed Piglets reaction to the bacon jibe :laughing:
 
read all your updates and loved your pics! What a great trip it was all around! ALTHOUGH, Never will I deal with that heat again! Enough to kill someone lol! I love you and so glad we could vacation together and do another MNSSHP again!

Thanks! I so wish you and Shan were there at the same time we were. I'm looking forward to seeing you both there again some day.

I agree about filming Piglets reaction. That would have been awesome. I am so glad that we were able to spend some time with you and Dave in person. I'm looking forward to being able to do that again!

I totally agree about the heat. Jesus, that was intense last year! Love you guys too and am looking forward to Jan 2013!! Woot
 
So before I lead into a mini picture TR from Feb 2013, I thought I'd share some Photopass pics from Sept 2012. Hope you like them.

As usual, I was missing Disney big time around the holidays. Joe and I still had time on our AP's and there was a great rate for POP. When I say great, I mean insane. We stayed for 5 nights and the entire trip was super reasonable, including purchasing the dining plan. There wasn't even a comma in the total price. :thumbsup2

I didn't take notes this trip. It was just the two of us and we were looking forward to just taking it easy and seeing what we could see. I was a little stressed when we started the planning because for us, 6 days is a a super short trip and of course, I had a million things that I wanted to see.

This TR is mostly going to be pictures, but I will fill in what I remember along the way.

I remember leaving CLE bright and early in the morning. We were suppose to take a connection thru Dulles but that didn't happen. The dang plane never showed up so they hurried and tried to find us other flights. Since we used miles, we were limited as to what we could do however they were super nice and found us a non stop that would still get us in before noon. Original landing time was 9 but still, not so bad. The airline tried to upgrade us to first class but since we used miles, the system would not let her do so. That was okay with me though, I was just glad that we were not losing an entire day.

After all the hoopla of worrying about our bags, we made our way to the other airline and waited for our flight. Soon, we would reach our destination.

We arrived and went to pick up our luggage and rental car. I remember that it did not take us long at all. The weather was perfect....and I mean perfect. Nice breeze, not to hot.....ahhh.........

I love seeing this sign.........

DisneyFeb2012038.jpg


And then of course this one........

DisneyFeb2012041.jpg


And OMG, this one!

DisneyFeb2012045.jpg


First thing we did was check into POP. Now, I was never a fan of the resort but the price was amazing so I figured we'd try again. I wanted the 50's but of course, no availability. The CM was super sweet and did everything he could to find us a room on the first floor. And actually, after waiting a bit, he was able to find one in the 50's. YAY! I was soooo happy.

DisneyFeb2012051.jpg


We were right near the pool and the laundry which was perfect for us. We also did not have much of a walk to our car which was great considering last time we stayed there we could never find a spot any where near our room.

After unpacking, we headed to MK. I was super excited to get started and wanted to cram what I could into a 6 day trip. LOL.

We decided to take the monorail over. I like taking the boat but was to impatient to wait...big surprise, right?

I just looked in my Disney planner to see if maybe I took some notes....seems that I did for the first few days of the trip. Yay, me!

I love the feeling I get the first time I walk into MK.

DisneyFeb2012083.jpg


My notes say that the castle show was going on when we got to MK. Apparently from looking at my pictures, it was. ha ha

DisneyFeb2012094.jpg


After the show, we went into the Emporium because OMG, who can resist. I got me one of these....and one for Kayla too. :rolleyes1

DisneyFeb2012084.jpg


I was all about the nerds this trip actually!!!

We had an ADR for lunch at LTT. We had gone in Sept with Stef and Dave and loved it! OMG, the food is soooo goooooood. IT is now on our must do list.

DisneyFeb2012109.jpg


DisneyFeb2012110.jpg


DisneyFeb2012111.jpg


We headed over to FL to get seats for the 3 p.m. parade, which I am totally addicted to. Did a few things along the way. My notes say that we went on Snow White...no pics for some reason though.

I have never been on the tea cups, if you can believe it. I am always afraid of getting sick.

DisneyFeb2012168.jpg


Well, I have more pics to upload and will be back with another update soon....
 
I'd better comment on September before I read about February! Love your parade pics from DHS. We've never seen a parade there! Someday we'll have to do it - looks like fun! Your trip sounds wonderful. So nice to see so many friends - and all in one trip! We've never been to Disney with anyone else (not even another family member) - I wonder how that would go. :)

Hi, I'm happy to have you with me. :) I sometimes feel like I'm posting for myself. :lmao:

We did have a great trip. Have you ever considered going with family/friends?
 
I really want to try ltt lunch one day! The dinner however doesn't thrill me :/

I'm glad you guys got to go back in February! We're stoked to try that time of year!
 
I was happy that we were able to get a good spot for the parade. I never, ever get sick of watching it.....EVER

After the parade, we went over to Buzz....where I became a Galatic Hero and totally ticked off my husband. LOL

DisneyFeb2012172.jpg


After Buzz, we went over to CoP

DisneyFeb2012181.jpg


DisneyFeb2012188.jpg


DisneyFeb2012194.jpg


After that, it was time for a spin on the TTA. Love it!

DisneyFeb20121862.jpg


DisneyFeb20121877.jpg


DisneyFeb20121885.jpg


After the TTA., we waled toward the castle and had a PP pic taken here.

DisneyFeb20121889.jpg


Since I stink at taking pics at night, I asked the PP photographer to set my camera up for me for Wishes. She was nice enough to take care of it for me.

We then had some time before Wishes so we went to Adventureland and did some shopping. Appparently my notes say we had to have it sent back to our room. hee hee

We went into the Tiki Room, which neither of us have done in YEARS. I enjoyed it.

From there we rode PoTC and did some shopping on Main Street.
 
My notes say that we didn't watch Wishes this night and that we ended up having dinner at the food court at Pop. :confused3 We also did some shopping at Everything Pop then headed back to our room for the evenijg.

The next day we got up and had an early ADR at Kona. Man, I love Kona for breakfast. It has to be one of the best on property.

DisneyFeb2012330.jpg


DisneyFeb2012333.jpg


DisneyFeb2012335.jpg


We spent some time at the Christmas Store, Goofy's and the World of Disney before heading to Earl for lunch. I had the tomato soup...which I LOVE!

From there we headed back to Pop to drop our purchases before heading to Epcot.

DisneyFeb2012336.jpg


DisneyFeb2012337.jpg


DisneyFeb2012340.jpg


DisneyFeb2012342.jpg


The weather was absolutely perfect...no too hot, not too cold, which is so different from our usual trips in September.

We headed over to Epcot where we planned to spend the rest of the day and evening.

DisneyFeb2012376.jpg
 
Next up was Norway.

DisneyFeb2012378.jpg


We got into a boat with a bunch of teenaged boys that were more interested in looking at the girls than anything else. They had never ridden Maelstrom so we kept warning them about the HUGE drop to come.... LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

DisneyFeb2012379.jpg


Next up, we visited China

DisneyFeb2012386.jpg
