The Good, The Bad, and The Tired.. Six days, Seven Nights Sept. 2011 Trip

[momabbate]

Opps adr for Sci-Fi was not at 2:00 but 5:45. That was way to much to get done from 8 am to 2 pm. Anyways working on update for 9/17. Also forgot to mention that while waiting at Sci-Fi made a ADR change. Will have to wait to hear why.

ok not about our Disney trip but something I thought some would get a good laugh at. Last night I was dreaming DH and me were waiting for a table at Yak and Yeti. Not that big of a deal. Except I was watching the time as I didn't want to be late for work. Now this wouldn't be so bad except I live over a day drive away. Wish I would have woke up enough to see time as my schedule changed and I'm working night shift after doing three open shifts.

Sorry been busy with holidays and work.

So day two I woke up again around 5:30. So are plan is to go back to MK and start on other side.

We skip breakfast but do grab drinks. Made it before rope drop. Now DD tells me that the day before the sun had been bothering her and she wanted to get some sunglasses. Due to watching rope drop the day before we went to the stand selling glasses and ears. While DD is picking out her glasses I’m looking over the ears. We both end up getting a pair.

We didn’t take time to really watch rope drop but did sing along with it. I think we just wanted to get in the park.

So we walk down Main Street and decided to wait for the fairies for pics. While waiting there is a family behind us with the cutest little boy and girl. The girl is the oldest and is asking her mom for a toy. Her mom is trying to explain that she should wait till they leave park that way they wouldn’t have to carry it around or loose it. Well, DD ask me if she could give two of her pins away. I said sure . So we look over pins and find a tink pin and a peter pan pin and gave them to the kids. The girl put hers on her pants. It was so cute.

Her are pics of us with the fairies.

After we ran into our favorite Disney duck.

Ok now rides for the day.

First Dh favorite Splash Mountain. Now I'm not sure what I was thinking this morning. I cant stand water in my eyes. I got wet and the first thing i do is push my eyes close. Umm I put on mascara and now had it all under my eyes. I love that DD did not take pic and that Disney had a restroom close by.

Next up is Great Thunder Mountain

Next up was country bear jamboree.
DD really was looking forward to this. I think I ended up liking more the she did.

Next was lunch time. We went to Pinocchio.

DD had the Caesar Salad with chocolate cake

I had the chicken Parmesan with chocolate cake.
We shared the bread sticks they were not included in dining plan.


We both liked are lunch. Now I don’t know how I never picked up on DD logic in eating. She stopped half way threw her salad to eat her cake. I just figured the salad was to big and she wanted to make sure she left room for the cake. Then she surprised me when she finished cake she went back to finish salad. I was partly right she wanted to make sure she had room for the cake. She like it is chocolate.

Next up picked up a hitchhiker in Haunted mansion.

We walked around a bit more then went back to room for a rest/swim.

Tonight we had dinner adr for garden grill. I was already hurting from the day and was using my cane. This was one of the longest lines we had. The check in. I left DD to sign us in while I went and sat down. This was her birthday dinner. It was cute they had all in sunshine sing to her.

We enjoyed having a feast with Chip, Dale, Mickey and Pluto.. They were cute.

My favorite pic her is DD with Mickey.

After dinner we walked around world showcase. We grab some drinks and watched IllumiNation. DD had a Strawberry Oolong tea slushy. She said this was good. I don’t think I would have tried it but did taste and it was good. I had Mango Gingerita. This was good. Both drinks were from Joy of Tea Stand.

Tonight was emh for epcot. We were surprise that it seemed that a lot of the stores were closing up. So we went back to future world and rode soaring. Then we were tired so stopped at sunshine. DD thought I was crazy when I said we had to get the strawberry shortcake. After her first bite she understood to except my madness. What a way to end the night.


On ride back to resort ran into Tanz. We walked back to rooms together. Was fun hearing how excited she was. I was moving slow and tired don’t think I said much. Sorry about that Tanz. Was great seeing you that night.

Love the ears! Aaw that's sweet of DD to give away two pins to the little girl. I love getting wet on Splash Mountain but ended up staying dry...maybe we should have switched places!

I have yet to try Pinocchio but have read good reviews of the place on here. I love DDs way of eating and laughed out loud on what she did! The only thing is I probably wouldn't want to return to a salad after having eaten cake!

I'm really happy DD had a blast on her birthday...love all the character pics though my fav has to be the one with Chip Yay on making sure you got the Strawberry Shortcake...I would have been the same!

It was great seeing you that night as well and you have nothing to apologise for...I was tired as well and didn't mind the slow walk back to the room at all.

I’m back. Sorry this is taking so long for updates. It looks like we are halfway done. I had to look back and to see where I left off. I can’t believe that I forgot about pin trading. When we stopped off at hotel the day before a nice CM stopped us to talk about the vaction homes. Well while he was talking I was checking out his pins. Now I bought some pins before trip and have been carrying them around with me., not doing anything with them. Well he has this

My first pin trade. Well he also talked me into doing the tour with two $15 gift cards. I knew I wouldn't be signing up. First, dh wasnt with me and second, I don't have the money, third, I don't make enough trips. I know this would mean I could make more trips, but I do want to visit other places.

So this morning we got up and went on tour. today we are suppose to meet up with dsil at dtd. I figured we would be done before she called. Nope she was on her way by the time we got back to hotel. So we quickly got ready and went to dtd. Sorry not to many pics from DTD. Did get my favorites from Goofy's candy shop

Here is us with dsil and dn.

Not sure why I don't have more pics. We walk around and ate at wgp. This time I had the Spaghetti & Meatballs - tomato-basil-garlic sauce and fresh herbs $16 with the Creme Brulee $6 I dont have pic and dont remember what dd ate. I will say the meatballs are very good.

Sortly after we ate dd asked how long we had to stay. She wanted to get to MK before dinner at Kona. So I nicely said we needed to run. And off to Mk.


Sorry short update, is better then no update.

 

[TanzUnited99]

Congrats on your first pin trade! I love the pin!

Glad you are back and had fun at DTD! Looking forward to hearing about MK and Kona

 

[momabbate]

Ok, First sorry no update. I know its been to long.

Second, For sons Disneymoon, it has been up and down. It is a go. Will give more details later. His Bride to be is so excited. Just wish she had a little more faith that yes all my planning does need to be done.

Third, Why this picture? My DD has a little Simba in her. Ok not Simba but a baby. I just got hit this morning with memories of our trip. First was this picture, she doesnt know sex of baby but is already nickname is Simba. So this picture is priceless. (Oh and she is due about same time this pic was taken. Second, she asked alot what is good age to bring a baby to WDW. She must have thought 5 right before they start school. (Not here to debate this is what she is thinking.)

I do need to finish this tr. Not that I have many readers but I want the memories recorded.

Bye for now.

Just an FYI, I am reading and can't wait to hear more. Congrats on your grandbaby. I think you said your DD was 18 at the time you went on your trip which would mean she will have her baby at 19? If I am correct that was how old I was when I had my wonderful son. I still say 19 was one of the best years of my life cuz I was pregnant most of it and was given the greatest blessing in the world, my baby boy.

Can't wait to hear more about your trip
