Your fireworks pictures came out great!!
Thank you, I was happy with them. I can't wait to show you guys the good ones of Illuminations and Wishes.
D'oh! I was reading the part under your pic that said you still need Upsidedown Mickey and Kermit but completely forgot that you had already said you completed your set while you were there. Neeeevermind 1 I'll just have to save one of my Kermits to trade while we are down there---SOMEONE has got to give me an Upsidedown Mickey, it's killing me!
It's ok lol!! You will find him!!! They don't seem as hard to find now. If you don't find it on a CM, somebody at DTD will have it.
Rope Drop never done it how exciting.
Your firework pictures are great they are fantastic I love them.
You don't look bad kissing Tim you make the perfect couple aww
I love the picture of the castle it looks like it glows so pretty.
You meet a Disiers that is wonderful.
You have to do rope drop when you go to DHS!! Oh and MK rope drop is the best. It's so cute!!
Thanks girl!
Yeah it was cool to meet all the Disers!!
Hey which letters do you still need?! And I have a bunch of Donald pins and I'm not a big Donald lover like Tim so I'll take pictures of them and you guys should let me know if there's any he needs!
Hi!! IDK what letters I need off the top of my head... I know I have A-E I P Q S T W-Z
Aww that would be cool. If you want you can, Tim would love to look through them.
TSM looks really cool, I can't wait to go on that. And I love ToT too! I could go on that over and over and over again.
It is awesome!! You'll love it. TOT is the best!!!
I know how you feel with trying to wake up Tim! My DBF is nearly impossible to wake up while on vacation. It's so funny, normally I'm the one who sleeps in and he's up and totally awake much earlier. But on vacation, even in WDW, it's the complete opposite! But even I couldn't get up at 6am to go running! It's funny because I was just about to ask you what kind of exercise you do! I think I remember reading on the Weddings Board once that you've used Winsor Pilates before, which I love too! But I've never been a good runner. So good for you, being able to get up so early and get your run in!
Congrats on getting to the TSM scoreboard!
Oh I know, boys are so hard to wake up haha. I always wake up early at Disney. One morning Tim wanted to sleep in. That was fine. I went and did my thing while he slept.
Oh I love pilates!!! They are awesome. I love running in the morning, you have so much energy.
Thanks, Tim made it on the board a couple times lol.
Wow three installments to read You have the best photos I love it. The pictures you took of the fireworks were amazing and I loved the photopass pictures from in front of the station at MK are beautiful. The view from your balcony at sunset was gorgeous so can't wait to stay here.
HAHA thanks! Yeah the sunrise was so pretty every morning at AKL.
Your firework shots are awesome and it sounds like you had a wonderful first day! That new store in DTD looks really cool...I can't wait to go next time we are in disney. BLT looks awesome...different than it did in Jan when we saw it. Did you ever get to see the model? Its pretty awesome...we got to see that when we went to the dvc presentation in jan. Thats exciting that you found three of your pins at dtd. I love finding pins that you need to complete sets...its so awesome! Can't wait to hear more...your pics are so awesome! Oh man you posted the start of the second day while I was typing this up so I did an edit. hehe. We have never gotten to dhs that early...I am similar to tim...I hate being woke up on vacation...dh will be like babe, babe, babe...wake up we gotta get up and get to the parks. I get so mad at him lol. I know we're in disney, but I want my sleep! It dosen't really bother me to much though b/c I can sleep anywhere pretty much. I have slept on the bus, on the curb waiting for a parade to start, in the bleachers sitting straight up waiting for lights motar action to start. Lol. My goal is to one of these days make rope drop at mk and dhs we came close at mk this past trip, but silly us forgot to check emh and guess who had it that morning...otherwise we would of been golden! Can't wait to hear more!
Thanks, I think you guys will like the next fireworks pictures I post. You will love Tren-D!! It's so cute.
BLT is awesome. We did check out the models back in Oct and we were blown away!!! So nice. I really hope we can get in there.
It is fun completing sets!!! I love hunting for the pins you need to get.
OMG you are so funny. Tim is the same way. He can sleep anywhere. He falls asleep on the buses all the time haha.
You have to do MK rope drop!! It's such a cute show!
Lynn,
Looks like your using a Vera Bradley bag in the Bali Gold Pattern...what style of bag do you use? I never seem to choose the right bag for the park!
Val
P.S. Love your trip report, its so fun to read!
Hi!! Yeah I loved it, it was so comfortable to carry in the parks. I forget what the name of the style is.. It was the perfect size. It had a zip pocket in the front and a pocket on each side for your cell phone.
Thanks, glad you're having fun reading this!
Yum! Ohana looks great! We have ADRs there for the first time in June.
Firework pics are great! I'm think of buying one of those gorillapod things to try for some nice shots.
First timers for TSM too. We have early am ADRs for Hollywood & Vine for Grace to eat with the Little Einsteins so I'm hoping I can run and grab FPs before that.
I love ToT! But I can't do rollercoasters. Drops are fine but upside down ..no way! I'm with Tim on the feeling sick part.
Enjoying all the updates!
OOH yay!! Enjoy Ohana!!!
Pick up a gorilla pod. They are easy to carry around. I picked up one from target, it was like $15 lol.
Awww you guys will love TSM!! Grace will have fun at breakfast. Adorable.
Oh that stinks. Sorry they make you feel sick!
Enjoying all the updates. Tim Reminds me of my boy Ben so much, maybe it's because all men are alike when it comes to waking up in the morning. When it comes to Disney/any florida theme park I'm like a drill sergent!
HAHA me too. It's a shame really lol!!
Another update Lynn your spoiling us.
Loved your pictures TOT and RNRC look like they have such cool queue's can't wait to see them for myself next time when we finally brave them. Lol.
As soon as I'm done catching up with you all I'm going to do another update.
Oh you have not done them yet? They are awesome!! I'm excited for you!!
Yay Lynn-Awesome Updates. Great fireworks pics, I can't wait to get that camera now. Is it very difficult to learn?
No Tori it wasn't hard. I was overwhelmed at first but when I went on the photography board they helped me out. When you get it let me know, I'll tell you what settings to use for the fireworks.
I love that picture of you and Tim holding the kissing pose. I can tell you are about to laugh. Again all of your pics are wonderful. I am loving you TR it keeps me from gettind sad. I will be there soon in March. I hope it is soon.
HAHA we were trying so hard not to lol. Aww it will be here soon. I hope lol. Just think, you're less than a year away.
Your fireworks pics are beautiful. I love them. What type of camera are you using?
Thank you! I have a Canon Rebel XS.
Lynn, where do you run at Animal Kingdom Lodge? I'll be staying at Kidani in a little over a month and have been wondering about that.
I thought it was funny that Tim was miffed to learn that you got him to DHS an hour before opening....serves him right for not knowing the schedule. That's why I'm the planner in the family.
Enjoying your TR.
At the AKL I just went to the gym they have there. It's really nice. IDK where you can run at Kidani, you could use the walkway from Kidani to Jambo to run.
HAHA it was funny.
Wow!!! I really fell behind!!! Stupid work getting in the way!!! Yeesh!
Awwwwwwww don't you just love AKV? I really do....probably why I bought there!!! Can't wait to check out Kidani in October...I know it is smaller, etc but I have stayed at Jambo twice so far and wanted to give Kidani a try.
Pictures have been so wonderful! You did a great job!!! The HM one with the rose was really creepy/good! I too love the bride room and am afraid of the doors!!! : I got stuck last year right by the doors/long hallway!
And a HM tip for next time you are there.....I read somewhere that if you stay in the stretching room and after everyone has left--just look around like you are preoccupied or something so the CM doesn't make you leave
and then you can hear a voice say "get out" very softly and then a bit louder before we ran!!
About two years ago a customer of mine gave me a Vera bag as a gift and I wasn't sure if I really liked them---thought they were kind of like something for my Mom!!! So now I have hmmmmmmm several!!! I have the Bali like yours and I even just got the purple punch luggage which is kind of funny seeing that with ME I hardly ever have my luggage with me!!!
Yes we love AKV!! Kidani looks so nice, I think you will enjoy it there!!! Oh no you got stuck at that part? LOL. AHH I remember hearing about that, but I forget to hang out and listen for it!! I will next time.
OMG I so want the luggage!!!! I'm addicted to Vera bags now!! There is something cute about them, I just love how comfy they are. They are reasonably priced too. Not like Coach. Tim gets me a coach bag every year for Christmas, I told him now to just get me vera bags lol! I want the luggage for christmas!! so cute.
I LOVE that Coach wallet you had out when paying for a pin at the HM. Where did you find that?
Tim didn't look too enthused about trying to pull the sword out of the stone.
Man you guys are up and at'em. I think I would've freaked too about being at HS an hour early. We never make it to rope drop, but we like to stay out late for the evening EMH. Kudos to you for using the gym and running too
Enjoying your TR and can't wait for the next installment.
Thanks! My best friend bought it for my birthday last year.
HAHA he was trying to look like it was nothing to get that sword out lol! Trying to be a tough guy lol.
Oh Love EMH in the evening. They are the best.
Another update your really on a roll lol. Great pictures again love the kiss picture.
OT but when you stay at SSR is the gym free or do you have to pay?
Thank you!! Yeah the gym is free when you stay there!! The gym at SSR is nice!
The doors creep me out too!!!! I thought I was the only one. I always think something is going to pop out from over there during that part even though I know better.
Good tip! I'll have to try that, never knew about it.
No you're not the only one lol!!! That would be funny if somebody popped out lol.
Lynn, Loving your TR - Happy Anniversary!
I love the quick updates it is wonderful. We are going to Ohana for dinner this trip, we are really looking forward to it because we have never been.
We are trying to get our kids into more pin trading but they get so attached to their pins. Maybe they will want to trade more soon.
Thanks for AKV information and pics, it makes me want to stay there.
Thank you! Oh YAY for another Ohana first timer!! You will enjoy it!
Just get them some traders so they can keep the ones they like!
Your fireworks pictures turned out great! I see that I need to hit TSM first thing when we go to DHS. Another first for us! Enjoying your TR as usual!
Yeah go to TSM first thing in the morning, tat way you can ride it twice!!
Thank you!
So excited to ride TOT and RnRC in August...and try TSM - haven't done it, yet!
Jeff is like Tim...won't do TOT....something about the dropping causing certain male anatomy to end up in his chest....
And, he won't try RnRC, either... Single riders unite! Luckily, BTMRR is his fave...so we get to do that all night long.
OH yay for TSM first time!! It's so much fun!
HAHA OMG lol!! Too funny!!! Man Tim won't even go on BTMRR with me!!
I'm loving your trip report. Your pictures are great! We stayed at AKL this past December and I keep hinting to my husband that we should buy into the DVS at AKV. I'm planning to show him the pictures of your studio when he gets home. I too love the curtains!!! I also agree with you on tshirts. I'm only 5'1'' and finding tshirts that fit well is so tough.
Oh cool!!! I bet is was amazing with all the christmas decorations!! You guys should look into DVC, you will save a ton of money.
I know it is hard to find Tshirts. I saw a ton that I wanted but it's hard to find an XS.
I love Pirates when it's a walk-on. It so nice and quiet and..... almost creepy to walk in those hallways lol
Yeah it is lol!!
Awe great pics.
I love the kissing pic. So cute.
I always go on ToT by myself too. It's fun to meet lotsa people.
Thank you!! HAHA the people I go on with really cracked me up!! Wait till you hear about the poor kid.
Oh, Joy, Happiness, a Lynn Trip Report!!!!!
I so enjoy your trip reports. Very descriptive and wonderful pictures!!!
I look forward to getting home and checking disboards for you adventures!!!
Hi thank you!! Glad you enjoy them.
Apparently you and I have to go on the rides together and leave Bobby and Tim to sit around and wait for us.
what a bunch of lightweights!!
OMG I know right!!!
This also is not true. I pretty much timed it and we downed this sucker in probably 2-3 minutes. Don't let sweet Lynn fool you into hiding how much of a pig she was this moment lol. We were actually fighting over it with our spoons saying, "No that's my piece... back off I want that part... you suck." It was a great experience I won't forget lol. The waitress did offer to bring more but we didn't take. Should've though cause I could have put it away myself lol.
Aww Tim that was so much fun, I forgot to write about that, thanks for reminding me.
Lymm those pictures you took with Donald and Tim are much better quality than the photopass ones, at least from my computer screen. Love the firework pictures too. Awesome.
Yeah the photopass looks a little fuzzy. Maybe there was a smudge on the lens or something.
LOL Bobby said I'm not waiting for anyone. Me and Tim will leave you bi**hes..LOL. How rude. He also said that he will plan something. He will plan to do something with you and leave me and Lynn home. Also rude.
I demand you two plan something with ALL OF US!!
I love Donald more than you!!
Even Donald knows because I told him at my wedding. I said Tim doesn't love you and that's why you weren't invited to his wedding but I love you because I had to have you at my wedding.
HAHA OMG!! You guys are cracking me up!!
Ah but he was, you see there was a time confliction for our wedding. See he was supposed to be doing a parade at the Magic Kingdom and well, I thought it best not to be selfish and let other small children see him. Unlike someone I know who finds delight in hogging him for themselves... I don't know if you know her
OMG lol.
Yeah we need to do that!!
Lynn,
I love how your fireworks pictures came out! they're awesome.
Poor tim getting sick on RnRC... thats never fun
Your pictures from HS are great though, It looks like you guys had a pretty good first half of the day! I can't wait to read more!
P.S. Tim and Toni, you guys are cracking me up!
Hi! Thanks! That was only the first like 2 and a half hours lol!!!
Tim and Toni are crazy lol.
Lynn,
Loving the trip report so far. I am enjoying all the mini updates. The kissing pictures are adorable. Thanks for the Ohana pictures. We'll be there for the first time next weekend.
Thank you!! WOO HOO yay for next weekend. So excited for you!
I love your trip report!
You take AWESOME pictures!!
I can't wait for more!
Thank you!!
