Ten Sleeps in Disney World!! - An Aug Trip Report *5/9 Departure Day & Final Thoughts

[Mickey_Mom]

Ooo, that does look really cool! I want to go nowww!!!

I should have an update for my TR soon, and you'll see I have reason to be sad....

Oh you guys would have a blast! I've read your update and yes, it's made me sad too.

Old school video games!!!!!

Did you get to play pinball?

 

[Angies1274]

Aww...that's too bad that it took so long to get to DTD. But...really what could you do? Hmm....husbands sometimes, right? DH reacted the same way when we got separated at MK last year.

I'm soooo glad that Disney Quest seemed to brighten the day!! I can't wait to go now!! All your descriptions make it sound like so much fun!! (and I'm not even a video game person)

Can't wait to hear about Planet Hollywood!!

We loved 'Ohana's breakfast Too bad you had such a long wait, I would have been famished sitting there waiting that long

Thanks for the juice recipe, we'll have to try it sometime

DisneyQuest sounds like a blast, that's so cool that they have something for everyone to enjoy!

Blasts from the past for sure... I'd forgotten how good I was at them. Do I sound really old if I say they don't make 'em like they used to?

I looked like an idiot on the Mighty Ducks pinball but no 'normal' pinball for me. I kinda suck at pinball. George said he played it though.

I really couldn't have done anything different but there was no convincing him of that. I hope you do get there, it's a lot of fun and a great place for all ages. Surrounded by DTD helps too

I so wish we'd explored the Poly more, even the nearby shops would have been more fun. Oh well. Disney Quest is definately a LOT of fun!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Wow-Disney Quest sounds like a blast......

Although I'd probably get a little queezy on a couple of things...

I loved living it through you since we've never been there...-It's always nice to know there is something new to do-another thing to add to the list...


Hmmm...so George didn't like waiting huh? Well neither did you (see I'm a little bad-I'm not quite childish that I would purposely be late ...but...I am childish enough to have a "see how did you like it" reaction...

 

[Lady Lallie]

That was a great in depth review of Disney Quest. THANK YOU! It sounds like it would be a really good time.

Please, please, PLEASE take cell phones next trip.

 

[mickeysmyboy]

Disney Quest sounds so cool!! We'll definitely have to take the kids there when the little one gets a little older!!

I totally understand the queasiness!! Your not the first person I've heard of that happening to at DQ and I assure you it would have been me too!!

Definately Alex's highlight was going there. I love that we did so many new things this trip and of course there is so much more that we haven't done yet.

When Fantasyland is revamped it will be an all new experience again. Snow White seems to have been left out of the plans though... I would have loved visiting her in the Dwarfs cottage.

I can't deny that thought may have crossed my mind at some point whilst rushing to meet him Ariana and I just handled it a bit better.

That was a great in depth review of Disney Quest. THANK YOU! It sounds like it would be a really good time.

Please, please, PLEASE take cell phones next trip.

Chances are he'd say no to cell phones again next time! They'll be packed in my suitcase!

Something for you guys to look forward to for sure.... kinda like your trip in how many days now?!?

Your updates are great. I love the hockey pictures-that is adorable.

Hey you! Thanks Aren't they cute how small they are?

 

[jenjolt]

What a great review of Disney Quest!! It looks like a lot of fun can be had there!! I'm glad you and your family had a great time and something was found for everyone!!!!!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Great update! We've never done Disney Quest but it seems really interesting. I remember seeing on one of the Disney Travel Channel shows they had that cyber roller coaster thingy. I know for a fact I would never do that. Sounds like you had a lot of fun though!

We weren't sure what to expect and were concerned we'd have to wait in big lines to play a game or two but there were zero waits for most things

Have you heard what they've put in the Innoventions building now? The Sum of All Thrills simulator that has quote, "four mechanical arms that fling, spin, hurl and invert guests in the air" Yikes! That sounds fun... NOT! Actually its supposed to have jet plane and bobsled variations too. I'd maybe do the bobsled one.

I just found your TR and spent hours reading it! What a lovely family you have! And it sounds like a wonderful vacation taking in all the small things.

Thank you! I'm so glad to have you along! We really did have a wonderful time with our no rushing philosophy.

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

WOW...I have a lot to catch up on!!

Haha, I always used to feel guilty about skipping the Norway movie. Then, we stayed to watch it one time. It reminded us all of why we keep on walking.

Ooh, you went to CM's for dinner. Yay! We also booked a dinner ADR and everywhere I've read people keep saying they prefer breakfast over dinner. It looks like you guys had such a great time and...great review!

Uh...YIKES! I can't believe you had to wait 40 minutes for your table at Ohana's. I think I would've started eating my own arm at that point. Free dining is great -- until you're stuck waiting for a table at a TS restaurant. I'm so glad that you guys had a such a great time once you got seated. It looks like a blast! I think my nephews are going to love it!!! Oh, and what kind of juice is it??

Disney Quest looks like a total blast! I'd never really had any desire to go there before looking at your TR. So fun!!! The PotC sounded like so much fun.

 

[MinnieNurse]

So-have you started planning for Dec 2010 yet.

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Hey! Glad you made it over! Yeah, I feel guilty but not enough to stay and watch it again.

Ooh, you went to CM's for dinner. Yay! We also booked a dinner ADR and everywhere I've read people keep saying they prefer breakfast over dinner. It looks like you guys had such a great time and...great review!

We like the breakfast too but its all about the jube-jube sundae!

What's funny is we're not really breakfast eaters so the wait wasn't too bad in terms of hunger..... it was my schedule that was debunked. We've only ever had one other instance of waiting for an ADR (coming up!) the rest we've been very lucky and only ever had to wait 5-10 minutes if at all.

It really is a fun, fun time, they'll love it! The juice (which I still haven't tried!) is equal parts passionfruit juice, orange juice and guava juice. I heard Minute Maid has one!

Disney Quest looks like a total blast! I'd never really had any desire to go there before looking at your TR. So fun!!! The PotC sounded like so much fun.

It's a LOT of fun! Do you think Aaron would like it?!

So-have you started planning for Dec 2010 yet.

In my head its all figured out! I really, really, really want to create a ticker but I think that's pushing it a tad too far.... You're staying at the Swan?

Not sure how I got on to your trip report but I am loving it! You have such a beautiful family!
Can't wait to read more!
