The "I said I wasn't going to do a PTR...PTR" (Sept '11)

[annmarieda]

All the shopping sounds fun!!! I love to shop.. sadly, no one else in my bunch enjoy it.

Can't wait to read about your dinning plans!

Yay for Day 3, so excited just reading about it

Is gonna be an awesome day and fingers crossed we can get you as close to the ship as possible. We should look into where you guys have to go to for passenger pick ups

CG will be fabulous don't you worry and you will defo be able to watch Wishes from the observation deck Foodwise you can't go wrong with the flatbreads and they have a mean steak dish too

So cool you are going to MK EMH, we're hoping to make it to 1am but will have to see how it goes as we are going to make rope drop the next day (but luckily its 9am so we can sleep in til 8am).

Bring on September!!!

I'm wondering if Joe and I will make it to 1 a.m.! It will be a 20 hour day for us and we want to do rope droop the next morning so this should be interesting.

Yes, we really should look into passenger pick up so we have a clue where we are going.

I'm lucky that Joe is a shopper. In fact, at times he is worse than I am about it!

Lol, we should have a Buzz Competition, although you don't have to worry about me being competitive/winning as I suck at Buzz but I do enjoy the ride

Dave will defo be up for PhilharMagic

I will see what I can find out about passenger pick up and let you know. Would be cool if we could get you guys closer to the ship, hopefully as far as the terminal bit

You must have been in the middle of posting when I posted....

I hope your Cali grill experience is better! I have never been there so I will look forward to reading all about it.

Hopefully, EMH won't be super crowded. Last fall when we went it was so bad... didn't make sense to even stay the lines were so long. Last spring... it was so empty... we got on and off rides. It was awesome!

On to day 4 we go.

The plan for today is rope drop at MK. Yep, rope drop after EMH at MK the night before. Hee hee....do you think we can do it?

The last rope drop that we did was when Joe and I went with my brother to Star Wars weekend a few years back. Oh, wouldn't it be amazing to be the family to open the park with Mickey?

Thanks dude in the red shirt for stepping in front of my camera............

Breakfast this morning will be at MK Bakery. Can you believe it....I've never eaten there before? Joe has run in and grabbed stuff in the past but I don't even know what it looks like inside? Are there tables? Anywho, I am totally looking forward to eating breakfast here and getting to see the park at rope drop.

Stef and Dave will be with us this morning too. I am hoping that we can all hold out!

I'm not sure where we will go in MK after breakfast. Joe usually likes to go to Adventureland first since it seems that everyone else goes to either Tomorrowland or Fantasyland first.

Knowing Joe, he will want to stop for one of these.

Maybe we'll stop and take a cruise

If we're lucky, when we go here............

we will see this...........

I'm not sure how much we will get accomplished before it is time for lunch as I am easily distracted with shopping in all of the little shops that I see along the way.

Next up......lunch...a first for us.

I have maxed out Buzz twice. I think Joe has done it once. OMG, we love that ride and I totally suck at video games.

Philharmagic is my fav at MK. I love, love, love that attraction.

Let me know what you find out.......... I will poke around as well to see what I can figure out as well.

I am curious to see how Cali is and how EMH is. We've actually left before because it didn't make sense to fight the crowds.

I love how you are using pics to tie your plans together!

 

[Stefy]

Day 4 sounds and will be so much fun What we should do is talk over plans again before we go, then we'll defo have a better idea of how we are going to do MK However, we are pretty easy going

So can't wait to get a cinnamon bun for brekkie

Lunch is going to yummy, can't wait

 

[Beka]

That sounds like so much fun! I can't wait to read your TR & see what you bought (uh, will buy?). Are you gonna take pics while shopping? pleasepleaseplease

 

[Queenofallthings]

Sophia that sounds like a great morning! I can't even imagine being the family that gets to open the MK...just the thought of it gives me goose bumps!

Main Street BakeryI may have a small addiction to their cinnamon buns....

We always head to Adventureland too!! I always want to stop and take pics and shop and everyone yells at me cause they just want to get to SM and BtmRR ... they don't even let me stop to get on a boat and see my boyfriend

 

[TanzUnited99]

Great day 3 plans! on doing all that shopping!! The only place we are hitting is Prime Outlets and I can't wait!

Love your pics of Wishes! MK Bakery looks awesome - can't wait to try it either!

I hope the wait time for POTC does say 10 mins

 

[inkedupmomma]

I hope we can fit some swimming into a couple of our nights together! the kids loved swimming with uncle joe!

I have not had a meal at MK Bakery or at LTT for lunch so I am excited.

Yep, I love to take pictures of all of the merchandise. I am hoping for some new stuff this year.

I think it would be awesome to open MK.

I am hearing a lot of good things about the cinnamon buns. I am going to have to try one.

Joe says that Adventureland is the best place to start.

Why don't they let you stop to see your boyfriend?

Hiya

Yesterday was my nephew's 8th grade formal. We gathered at the house so that we could take pictures of him before he went to his date's house to pick her up.

The funniest thing..................he told my sister that he had to get her a "morsage" to wear. Hee hee, coursage of course.

Here are some family pictures.

 

[KatMark]

Sophia, you and Mark would have fun touring the parks together. He has to stop in every single shop in every single land.

 

[annmarieda]

Very nice pictures! Handsome boy! Were there no pictures of the girl getting the "morsage" ?

I love the shops. Most of the time Joe is all for it to....especially since they have air conditioning.

Thanks. I didn't get to see his date. All of the kids met at one of the girls' house. My sister got a couple of cute pictures of them.

Apparently, a good time was had by all.

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

I left off thinking about our lunch plans for Day 4. We will be joining Stef and Dave for lunch at LTT. This is a first for us. The only time we've ever eaten at LTT was when we took my nephew on a surprise weekend trip to Disney for his double-digit-midget birthday .... that's what we call 10 in my family.

We loved the food when we were there. I am just sorry that there are no longer characters at LTT.

Here are a few shots from our last visit to LTT....4 years ago.

After lunch, I'm not sure what we'll do. The plan right now is to spend the entire day there. I think it will likely depend on the weather. If it is super duper hot and we are miserable, we may go back to the resort for a bit.

Dinner will be at a new place for us. We're going to The Plaza. We wanted to try it last year but we were not able to get a ressie there. I'm anxious to see what it's like. Stef and Dave have a ressie at CRT that night so we will likely say our good-bye's for the day once we each head to our dinner ressies.

I am hoping that we still have enough life in us to stay for the MEP, which I have yet to see.....I am a Spectro girl so last year I boycotted MEP. If we stay for MEP, we will likely stay for Wishes as well before calling it a night.

I just love Wishes...............

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Boy, oh boy, I am so looking forward to Day 5!

We are starting off the day with breakfast with Labsrus1 (Chuck and Mary) at Olivia's. We've never been to OKW and thought that this would be a good chance to see the resort. It's an early ADR but Joe and I prefer early breakfasts...well, at least I do!

After breakfast we are going to to EPCOT for a bit. The plan is to just stay for the morning. I think we will likely stay in FW.

I'm hoping that we'll get to ride this too.......

Maybe stop and visit some old friends.........

Maybe wonder around a bit and take some pictures.

After spending the morning in FW, we will head for lunch.............

next up......where are we eating today?
