And their off LOL.

Everybody heads to TSM. It is comical. Tim and I laugh the whole time lol!

I loved this guy!! That's old Tim LOL!!

They had a wait time of 30 mins already posted. We only waited like 5 mins.

at 9:06

Empty!

My man Mr. Potato Head

YAY Tim we're getting on!!

We did horrible lol!

but we made it on the scoreboard LOL

When we got out I went to get some FP tickets. Lunch was at 11 so that was why we grabbed a FP after we went on and not before.

I love the monkeys

FP return time was for 11:05 and 12:05 when I got in line!

By the time I got our FP the time was between 11:20 and 12:20. That was perfect!!!

TOT was calling my name!!!!!!!!! Guys I went on seriously over ten times on this trip lol. I love it!

CONT...

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.

Well this was the only morning that I was able to run!!! I got up at 5:30 and got down to the gym at about 5:50. YAY it was open. It opens at 6 so I thought I would have to wait. When I got in there was only 2 other people in there. So nice. I did my run then headed back to the room to wake up Tim and get in the shower. Yeah Tim is fun to wake up while on vacation. It's like waking up a a child.

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!

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.

 

[Girldreamer02]

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!

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!

CONT...
I was so excited to get on my ride!!!!

YAY doesn't look crowded down there!

I was practically running there haha. Tim does not go on this ride with me because it makes him sick. Bummer! I still have fun by myslef though. Wait till you hear when I went on with a bunch of teens who were Harry Potter fans. OMG it was too funny haha.

The time posted was 20 mins. Please it was no 20 mins, like 5.

YAY!!! I'm almost on it!!

We took some pictures while going through the line.

YAY it was so much fun!!

Love the fountain!

Next up was RNRC!!!! Tim did go on this with me, but it made him feel sick. Poor guy.

The wait was 20 mins...waited maybe 10 mins.

I love when you walk through, this room is cool.

One of my favorite hidden mickeys

WOO HOO we were almost there

What an awesome ride!! We got to sit up front!!! Poor Tim did not have a good time. I was screaming and laughing the whole time while he was quiet as can be. He was ok when he got off, didn't get sick or anything, just felt sick while on the ride. He wants to go to the drs next time before we go and see if he can get something stronger than dramamine.

CONT.... Gotta get ready for work.

 

[PookieB]

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!

 

[Nix]

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!

 

[Lynn5700]

CONT.. I have a couple more mins then I really have to get ready lol.

After that we went to guest services to get my signatures for the picture matte that I bought for our character picture. They said it wasn't a problem, to just give them some time. YAY!!!

It was getting close to lunch time so we started to head over towards Sci Fi. Along the way we did photopass.

We were trying not to laugh in this picture because we had to hold the pose. The guy told us not to make out haha.

We hit up the next photographer closer to the hat.

That's when Tim spotted his buddy coming out lol.

CONT..

 

[jackieleanne]

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.

 

[tlhbdm]

Yay Lynn-Awesome Updates. Great fireworks pics, I can't wait to get that camera now. Is it very difficult to learn?

 

[Lynn5700]

CONT..

Me made friends with the CM in that picture. We traded pins with her through out the trip lol.

So cute

My pic

Photopass pics

Then we spotted Chip and Dale!!

There was misson impossible music in the backgroud so they were doing some moves lol.

They asked me how long we have been married for, I told them 1 year lol

Timmy hopped in the picture.

CONT...

 

[lizet313]

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.

 

[thechesters420]

Your fireworks pics are beautiful. I love them. What type of camera are you using?

 

[glennbo123]

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.

 

[manntra]

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!!!

 

[sisaaliyah]

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.

 

[jackieleanne]

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?

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.
