The MAY freaks! Celebrating 1 year of marriage! PTR STARTED!!

[tlhbdm]

ANYWAY lol.. Om with the ADRS. Now with deluxe dining, you will get 3 meals a day. You can use TS and CS with those 3 credits. You also get 2 snacks a day, and refillable mugs.We are doing the DxDDP in September when we go so I will let you know how we like it. I've heard people say they like it and we are going during free dining so it's the same cost as the regular dining pla

We will be staying 9 nights, so we will have 27 credits each. If we go to all the places I have planned, we will be using 21 TS credits, and 6 CS credits.

Places for breakfast!

Crystal Palace 1 TS- I love breakfast there. I want to go early before the park opensI am going to make an ADR here for breakfast before the park opens too

1900 Park Fare 1 TS- OK so you can eat with Alice, Mad Hatter, and Mary Poppins. How cute is that!! Can't wait to try it, it will be our first timeThis one is pretty good, it's been about 4 or 5 years since I have been there for breakfast but it was good when we went, I remember

Kona Cafe 1 TS- We have never had breakfast here. I know what I'm going to get though lol!

I didn't pick to many breakfast places because Tim is not a big breakfast eater. I am though. So I think 3 is fair.

Places for lunch

Sci Fi 1 TS- Always a must! Love this place

Plaza 1 TS- I love this place. Tim and I ate there on our first night in May 07. He does not remember it, but I told him he loved it. It is one of my favorite places.

Yak & Yeti 1 TS- Ok so I have never been, but after looking at all the reviews, I have to try it. The food just looks sooo good.

Biergarten 1 TS- Another must for us, love it!

Coral Reef 1 TS- We usually do dinner here, but I want to try lunch. Same menu really for lunch and dinner

The Wave 1 TS (should be 2 IMO)- Can't wait to go back. Loved it there.I'm debating whether we should go here too, since it's at CR and that is where we are staying.

Ohana 1 TS- Always a must. This is supposed to be one of the places we are eating at on the day of the race with everybody going to the meet.

Chefs de France 1 TS- LOVE it there!! One of our favs.Never been here but am debating whether or not to make an ADR

I like going on IASW! Luckily dh dosen't mind either...if he didn't I'd be riding alone just like you. I'll have to keep an eye out for alice next time...thats cool that you got to see the white rabbit too...nice little bonus. We've done deluxe dinning and love it! Just gotta make sure you use your snack credits the first yr we did it...we still had snack credits, but this past time when we did it we used all our credits! We did coral reef for lunch in jan...it was nice. Its basically the same menu just a lot less crowded...at least it was when we were in there, which was nice because usually for dinner it feels like your sitting on top of other people. We also did breakfast at 1900 park faire, which was a lot of fun...we had mary poppins, alice, the mad hater, tigger and pooh. Plus its a buffet so you can't really go wrong. Garden Grille is a good time too and you get to see the different scenes from living with the land as the restaurant rotates. The characters are great and come around more than once and they spend a good amount of time at the tables. At least they did the two times we've been. We have only been to jiko once, but it was really yummy and we enjoyed eating there a lot! We went for dinner in dec 07' Hope this helps and I can't wait to hear more!

 

[ArelysAdriana]

You will LOVE 1900 Park Fare. It is my absolute favorite character breakfast. If you or Tim like strawberries, you have to try the chilled strawberry soup. It sounds weird, but it is ridiculously good. My boyfriend once ate 4 bowls of it in one sitting. Besides having fantastic food and wonderful characters (they have all been such fun every time I have been) it is super cute inside of there.

I'm trying to go there myself in January with my parents because I miss it so much.

 

[TXMomof3boys]

Enjoyed catching up on your review. I love how detailed your reports are - you are so good at this!

Curious about the smiley face sky picture. Is that something that happens at Disney a lot? You made it sound like you have seen it before.

 

[DisneyBrideToni]

I can't wait for Ohana! We will all have so much fun!

At least you can make your ADR's before me. I have to wait until October 8th.

 

[jenny105]

Oh heck no LOL!! No way. We have been there done that LOL. I'm done with road trips. We get good deals with South West so flying isn't a problem. The plus of driving would be to have your own car. You know I don't mind the drive down, it's the drive back. Yuck.

Oh good! I can't wait to try it!!

My dad is going to be driving down in Jan 2011. I said good, you can bring down stuff for us LOL! I'm flying haha.

Lol. I understand about the drive back. We drove straight through on the way back last time and it was torture. This time we're going to stop in VA for the night on the way back up.

Do you fly out of the Philadelphia airport? I don't think Southwest flies out of Newark nonstop.

Definitely get the Dimsum basket for 2 for an appetizer at Yak & Yeti. You'll get to sample a little bit of everything!

 

[PookieB]

I love the view at CG! The food is really good too! That's so great that you and Toni got to meet up. I wish I could do the meet in January but if we go it will be around the 23rd for our anniversary. January is great ..you will love it! It's not hot and way less crowded. Great ADRs BTW. 1900 Park Fare is the best! At Christmas each of the characters spent like 10 minutes with Grace...she loved it!

 

[PrincessAlways]

Well, you know, I just cannot imagine what you will order for breakfast at Kona!!! I guess one of the advantages of the deluxe plan is that you have the opportunity to use 2 credits for those special places you'd like to try. If you don't use all your snack credits, you can always get them to take home!
Now a confession...I noticed the "other" entrance to IASW, but I didn't bring it to anyone's attention! OOPS! We just kinda strolled by.... I'm such a bad aunt!

 

[Lynn5700]

Oh no that stinks

I agree, it's horrible watching the show in front of the Castle with the sun beating down on you!

It was so bad lol

Lynn! You will have to follow my TR as I have updated to DxDP for my trip in September. One difference is we will be doing a TON of breakfasts. My son is an early bird and well...we'll be up anyways, so why not? I bolded the restaurants I'll be going to that you have on here. We don't have too many in common, but I'll let you know about the amounts of food and everything.

OOh definitely!! Can't wait to hear about it!! I wish I could do more breakfast. I love it but Tim doesn't. I think 3 is enough.

I agree.. put that money towards something else.. maybe another tour?!! They do think they can rent lamborgini's or a classic car everywhere they go!!

Yeah IDK. I have to think of something. Tim will say pins lol.

That's good he goes on with you! I love it, I think because I went on it as a kid I love it so much. Like Figment and the COP I did not see when I was a kid, so when I went on them I was like what the heck LOL.

Awesome!! Thank you for telling me about the restaurants!

You will LOVE 1900 Park Fare. It is my absolute favorite character breakfast. If you or Tim like strawberries, you have to try the chilled strawberry soup.

You know I have to try it. I love strawberries! To me it looks like a smoothie.

OMG I know!! It's going to be crazy lol!! Yeah that's right!! I get to call on Oct 2!

Yeah that won't be bad!! Good thing for stopping!

Yes we fly out of Philly.

OOh I will have to look into that!! Thanks

I love the view at CG! The food is really good too! That's so great that you and Toni got to meet up.

Yeah it was very good! Aww I know, it was fun getting to hang with her and Bobby in person.

I know!! I love the weather in Jan! It feels like spring time up here in Jersey.

I'm looking forward to 1900 park fare. Aww that is so cute! I bet she did.

Well, you know, I just cannot imagine what you will order for breakfast at Kona!!!

HAHA!!! I do that some times because I forget about my snacks haha.

HAHAHAHAHA That is hilarious LOL!!

 

[DisneyBrideToni]

I'm already thinking about my ADR's for January. I have a few in mind. I told Bobby I would let him pick since I did all the planning for our February trip.

Oh Lex sent me a message and her and Christina want to do a girls trip next year. She is going to PM you!

 

[princess&her4princes]

Hi Lynn!
LOVE all the pics from IASW, thank you!!!! I will always love that ride!!

Your ADR's look great and yay for Deluxe dining!!!!! It will be soo nice to experience and I'm with you, I don't like having to wait 90 days to book them, it's stressful!! LOL!! Here's hoping I get what I want on Tuesday next week!!!!

 

[Lynn5700]

CONT...

After IASW, Tim told me that he was there. So I went to go meet up with him on Main St.

When I was walking I noticed some of the st performers out. I love their costumes. I want to say she is the mayor??? Not sure. She was with another lady. They were so funny. They told me that they loved my hair, and that I looked like Ariel lol.

I met Tim in one of the stores, and when we got out onto the st, the ladies were still out there. I had Tim take my picture with them. They were like OOOh it's Ariel again, and as I was getting my pictures with them, they were singing like Ariel, OMG they had me cracking up lol!

They talked to us, noticed Tim's anniversary pin and asked how many years. They then started showing people my rings on Main St LOL.

They are a riot lol.

After that we went to Monsters Inc Laugh Floor aka **** lol.

We sat in the middle. Enjoyed the show. Its so cute.

Then hit buzz! Tim cheats cause he steers so of course when I'm on my side trying to hit targets he turns me lol.

Brat

After that we went to Enchanted Grove and got the raspberry lemonade icees. OMG they are amazing!!! So good!


It was time to go spinning on the teacups!! wait time was 10 mins

Tim took a picture of me freaking out telling him to spin fast LOL!!

I was ready to spin lol

He had to do all the spinning cause I was holding our drinks LOL!! So much fun!!

HAHA when we got off fantasy land was spinning LOL!! It takes a while for your eyes to adjust lol!

Next we went on Philar Magic. This is one of our favorites!!! Love it!

Only a 5 min wait

Love it!

Hidden Mickey. There are a couple on that wall.

Tim was getting hungry so he wanted to go to Casey's corner and grab a hot dog!! We walked past the castle, I love it from here.

When we got to Main St it was kind of dead, so we stopped for the photopass guys.

CONT...

 

[princess&her4princes]

Love the teacups pics, too funny!!!

 

[Lynn5700]

I'm already thinking about my ADR's for January. I have a few in mind. I told Bobby I would let him pick since I did all the planning for our February trip.

Oh Lex sent me a message and her and Christina want to do a girls trip next year. She is going to PM you!

Well you guys better try The Wave hehe!

OOOH fun!!!! What are the dates??? I hope they aren't when I'm in school

Hi Lynn!
LOVE all the pics from IASW, thank you!!!! I will always love that ride!!

Aww I knew you would love it!!

I know, I wish I could book them now LOL!! You will get what you want!! Just call first thing in the morning. Good luck!

 

[Lynn5700]

Love the teacups pics, too funny!!!

We have a blast on those things lol!

 

[Raecheal]

Love the update... Your ring is absolutely beautiful. Do you mind if i ask how many carats are in your center stone? and altogether?

I've never actually tried or heard of a raspberry lemonade icees. They look soo good right now tho.

Dbf does the exact same thing on buzz... anytime i'm on a roll and hitting the targets he moves me to nothing... CHEATER.

That's a really nice photo of you infront of the castle!!

 

[Lynn5700]

CONT...

We asked the photographer if he could take some pictures looking towards the front of Main St. Something different.

He had Tim do some prince pose LOL!!

We did get some in front of the castle too.

Warning!! Here is the dorkiest picture of all. The photopass girl told me she is known for this shot, and we told her we wanted something different so we did it LOL.

It reminds me of Austin Powers or something lol.

She told us that if we go down Main st, they will take our pictures down one of the side streets!! Cool!

Here is how they turned out.

I like this one with the balloons.

They had us wave

and then we did the magic balloon shot!! Can you see how excited I was lol!

I love that!! Too cool!

Ok so my foot was like done by this point. I went to first aid to get an ice pack so that I could put it on when Tim was eating his hot dog. When I was in there, there was some other girl who hurt her ankle. She said she twisted it when she walked off a curb.

So I wrapped my foot up. Yeah wait till you see what that looked like lol.

YUM I love Casey's Corner!

OOh Tim being cool lol.

Tim ordered a hot dog with fries and cracker jacks. I just ate the cracker jacks!

Ok so we had to leave after that to get to Epcot. We had dinner that night at Coral Reef!

So here is me trying to ice my foot.

Tim took pictures to show everybody how much of a moron I looked like LOL!

It was not working out, so I just took it off lol.

When we got to the monorail I was able to rest it and put the ice on it. That helped.

Sorry if you hate feet like I do, I really think feet are disgusting so I apologize for this picture, I just have to show you guys how swollen my foot was.

It was horrible lol!!

When we got to Epcot we went on Space Ship Earth. And because I'm a ditz, we have a funny memory from this ride. So we get to the part where Neil Armstrong says the famous saying, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" Well I say to Tim.. "What president said that?" He just looks at me... and I say " OH DUH... Lance Armstrong said it" He says nothing. So we get off and I realize I said Lance instead of Neil!!! LMFAO!!! I'm such a ditz LOL. I'm thinking to myself after that, the people behind us and in front of us on the ride were probably like What the heck is wrong with that girl LOL. It's kind of scary that I'm going to school to be a teacher LOL. JK, I have my moments though.

Tim was excited to see that some pin traders were out when we got to the pin station. He must have talked with this guy for like an hr. He did end up trading with him.

So I wanted to go to Universe of Energy because I have never been on this thing. When I get there it was broke lol. I swear I'm not meant to ride it lol.

A CM offered to take our picture though. He was such a nice man.

Of course I blinked and ruined it. I was such a mess that day lol.

CONT...

That's a really nice photo of you infront of the castle!!

Thanks! No I do not mind at all. I don't know over all how many, but I know the center stone is .59 I think. I know it's over a half. I love it. Perfect size for me. I tried on a carat before and it just did not look right on me. It looked too fake. I have tiny fingers, my ring size is like 4.75 lol so it just did not look good.

I think they may be strawberry, but I think they are raspberry lemonades. They are soo good. Try one next time.

Yeah I know they cheat!! Not fair.

 

[Girldreamer02]

Your ring is very pretty! Thats cute that those ladies were showing it off on main street...I don't recall seeing them before, but I remember seeing the mayor. I still have yet to get my picture taken with him. Your poor ankle...have you thought about croc flip flops? They are cute, but they actually support your ankles too because they are pretty thick. I wore them to disney twice now plus all over d.c. last yr and I've never had any issues. I have the capri croc flip flops and they are pink and brown. I love the jumping pictures and the picture where tim is pretending to hold the balloons...very cool! I laughed out loud when you talked about your silly moment on spaceship earth. Don't worry I do stuff like that sometimes too! I've been on the universe of energy...you aren't missing anything...it was rather boring! lol. Can't wait to hear more!

 

[Ciciwoowoo]

I finally caught up! Your trippie is very enjoyable to read!
