*** The Official July 2014 thread, join us won't you? II***

[lauralarissa]

I wanted to do a mini trip report but we were there 12 days so it wouldn't be so mini! I can say we had no problem with our magic bands! I also noticed the 4th faspass and so on are scarce after noon. But it is July and thats probably why.

 

[anjalee6]

We leave in 2 days and I just changed four of our day plans. Lol.m planning is never done!

This thread is getting so quiet I know many of us are in our post-Disney blues! Maybe it would help if we all posted some things from our trips? Funniest moment, scariest moment, most magical moment, weirdest moment, coolest experience, etc...?

Most magical moments:

**spending the five days with just DD20 talking about her dreams of working at WDW after college graduation next year....

**Kristoff calling out to her during the parade- winking at her & telling her he liked her shirt (Anna & Elsa tank top) and that her hair in braids looked just like Anna. ;-)

**stress-free traveling to and from Disney! Everything was on time & calm!

Funniest Moment- hmmm. We had many laughs all around.

Scariest Moment- We had a few of these too. The morning we head from P'cola to Disney World, DD8 get's out of bed a pukes. I did not know what to do. So, we packed up the car as planned with a trash can and plastic bags, off we went. She threw up once during the drive down. She didn't eat much that day. However, we arrive 7 hours later...she was ready to go. As in spirits are high, feeling a little better. We got Mcd's and came back to the roommate, watched some tv. Next morning all was right in her world. THANK GOODNESS. No more tummy issues after that.
The other was a scary in a good way, This was DD8 first time on ToT. She was nervous and started to cry...BUT...Insisted on riding it. We asked her 1000 times are you sure. You don't have too. TEARS and "no.....I want to". When we got off NO TEARS, BIG SMILE and a "I wanna ride AGAIN.

MOST MAGICAL- Seeing DD meet Elsa. Hearing Mickey wish us Congrats on anniversary and a happy retirement. Watching Fantasmic! for the first time. We have been 3 times and didn't see it because I thought the kids may be scared. LOVED,LOVED,LOVED IT. Watching the giraffes come close to our room from the balcony. THIS in itself made our vacation magical. A non-Disney moment, Seeing Winter the dolphin and hearing tweets. She is such a amazing animal. We love her. Truly love her. Watching the Frozen Fireworks. MAGIC all the way around. The best yet. OHHHHHHHHHH. Watching the some firework show from our balcony everynight. I want to say they were the frozen ones, but I am not sure. Someone said they were Wishes, but, I think they were the frozen ones. They are AWESOME. Maybe someone here would know for sure.

We did have some non-magic moments. Our first MK day was rough, it rained all day. We went to our 7DMT FP, the ride was down. I was prepared to hear it, it's been happening a lot with that ride. We moved on to T-cups, it was down. The rain really picked up and they came over the loud speaker that everyone needs to seek shelter. We did. When we were aloud to move around we headed to dry out at Space MT. Wait inside right? Waited for an hour, not complaining. We wanted to wait. It was still raining, we were inside, and waiting for a ride. All was well. Until we are next to load. The ride goes DOWN. 3 rides in a row. DH was a little mad. Kids were bummed. I was laughing because I just simply couldn't believe it. They got it up and running within 20 minutes. Magic was restored! It was still raining when we got out. So we decided to call it a day. We really did much more than what I have mentioned here. We got back to the room ordered a pizza and watched the animals from the balcony. PERFECT.

Yay! I love reading those! Tink: just out of curiosity..which day was the day at MK in which they told you to seek shelter? We stayed at BLT and there were a couple days that it was storming REALLY hard. I just wondered if it was a day we were there.

I'll share a few of mine later tonight

We leave Fort Myers at 8:00 am for Disney. We should be at BWV by noon. So excited to see our room and the view we get. I requested high floor overlooking luna pool.
We plan on spending the day at the resort. Maybe walk to Fantasia Gardens for golf after dinner.
All leading to Monday morning at HS. We'll head right to Star Tours and ride that a couple of times. We will catch all the new Frozen stuff, including some ice skating. Lunch at Hollywood N Dine. First time with Sophia and Doc McStuffins.

Can 't wait for Tuesday though. MK is my favorite park, and we have FP for 7DMT. DD will ride Splash Mt. (My favorite ride) for the first time.

DD passed 40" earlier this year, so we will be doing a lot of rides with her for the first time.

The next 8 days will be awesome, but I know it will go by so quickly. I've decided to take 2015 off from Disney. We'll see if I can stick to that.

I would love to hear all about BWV when you return! We stayed in a deluxe CL room there a few years ago and we all have it as our #1 or #2 favorite resort! The problem is that part of the love was the view and we now need 2 bedroom villas which (if I recall correctly) don't offer the waterfront views.

16th-18th were really rainy. I believe our MK days were the 16th and the 18th.

Our two rainiest days were the 21 and 22. It stormed SO badly on the 21 that we decided to leave EPCOT. People's ponchos were literally blowing off of them! It was nuts (and I was really scared to ride the monorail back to BLT in it after what happened the week before we went! )

 

[SRUAlmn]

Ok, here are some of my "moments."


Scariest moment - obviously when my husband had heat stroke, glad all is ok!!

Sweetest moment - we came back early from the pool one day and our mousekeeper was in the room. We asked her if we needed to leave and she said no, so we just sat out on the balcony so we wouldn't be in her way. As she was about to leave we went in and introduced ourselves. She told us that we were so sweet to tip her everyday and it was the reason she could put gas in her car and God bless us

Weirdest moment - I was activating my AP and handed my magic band to the CM at Guest Services. I apologized that it was sweaty and we talked about how wearing it looser made it not feel as hot on your wrist. He then said, " Well, you wouldn't want to make it too tight because then you'd cut off your circulation and you might have to have your hand cut off." Um......................

Disney rule breaking moment - we were on the monorail platform waiting to go to the MK and we saw a little boy in HUGE chunky Crocs and his dad was practicing with him how to lift his feet up a little but still look like his feet were in his shoes when he got measured for rides!

Funniest moment - (my mom is going to kill me for posting this!) - she isn't really a roller coaster rider, but everything we read about Mine Train made it sound not too bad, so she decided to give it a try. She was riding with my sister who is a thrill ride junkie. Well, I guess the whole time my mom was squealing and gasping and then they got to the part inside where the dwarves are in the mine and it's going up the steep hill (she didn't know there wouldn't be a big drop on the other side) and she started to get worried, looked at the dwarves and said, "sure, just keep whistling like nothing's wrong!" My sister almost peed her pants! My mom was totally fine, but surely did NOT want to ride again

I'll see if I can think of any others

Can't wait for our moments to begin. This weekend has been busy. My DS is at his first sleepover tonight. We had a BBQ to go to today. We still have packing left to do. And....I spent the day rearranging all our plans. Ok, not all of them but four of our days. I finally think I am happy. . Tomorrow I have to finish laundry, do last minute packing, and then just relax (haha) until we leave bright and early Monday morning.

For those of us with the Dis. Blues how are ya?
I am ok. Missing it tons. I have been on pinterest looking at ideas to turn my maps into something. I am thinking about my classroom. Already planning in my mind things I want to do. We leave Pensacola tomorrow to head back to Wy. Lots of tears will be shed there. CHRISTMAS. I am planning that too. This is a special one for us. My DH is home. He has been overseas for the past 3 years. So, I am excited. I think I am ready to be back in Wy. To get our routines going again. Back to normal.

Anjalee: HAVE SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!

I like your idea with the maps for your classroom - I am doing a Mickey Mouse theme in my classroom this year - what are you going to do with the maps?? We are also doing a DCL cruise next summer! 7 nights aboard the Fantasy! Can't wait!

To pass the blues - I just downloaded our MM photos so I am going to go through those... and we have 96 days until we are back at WDW so I'm working on those plans!

I know!! It's so crazy to go back so early! The kids don't come back until the 19th or something around there.

I used the park maps in my classroom before for something so simple...in first grade we teach map skills! How to find places on a map, how to read a legend, using a compass rose, etc... It was so fun to do it with Disney maps!!!
