Hi I am Hallie and I went to Disney April 17 to April 23, 2011 This was Easter Week. yup our family was crazy going to Disney during this time. We had no choice though either Easter Week or No disney at all okay that No disney at all may not be true but we would have had to go durning July 4th. Oh the hot weather the crowds as well. So We picked crowds with the kind of hot weather.
This trip was the 6 of us. Who are the 6 of us well we are a fun crowd the can we take a rest nope we got to make our ADRs so we can eat :lmao:. The 6 of would include my Sister:hippie:, My brother in-law:surfweb:, My nieceprincess:, My mother :teacher:, My father:joker:and me::MinnieMo

I wrote a pre trip report which if you look at my tag you can read that if u wish.

The Day: April 17, 2011:
We got up early on this day it was 3:00am:scared1: so not a morning person. Got dressed, since we needed to leave out the door a 5:00am. It was all for the love of Disney. So 5:00 comes and we are waiting for are car service to come to pick us up. We normally don't use a car service to take us to an airport but we are using a different airport and didn't really know how to get their and didn't know their parking policy.
So its 5:00 no driver no worry right. 5:00 came and went. 5:05 came and went little panic we called the driver their was no answer. 5:10 came mom calls the car service company leaves a message. 5:13 mom calls the travel company to let them know the situation. 5:14 the car company calls, they couldn’t get a hold of the driver they could send us another driver but as my mother who doesn’t yell hardly ever. Is yelling No thank you we are now late and probably not going to make our flight now she hangs up on them. 5:15 we pack the 2 cars up. And head out to find this airport, which we never been to before.
My mother calls the travel company and told them we are going to need to stop an get gas for our car, and that we are going to try to find the airport ourselves. She said to travel company is their anyway you can call them to let them know the situation. Which they did. He guy who she was talking to told her that the last time for final check in was 6:15. They give us directions to he airport and we went on our way.
It took us 45 minutes to get to the airport. It though for sure we are going to miss our flight. We made it just in time. We had a line to wait in anyways to check-in. They took our names. Said all 6 of you made it. They told us to go to another line. We check-In at the 2nd spot. The lady gave us our passes and info we needed. Then we went to move to the next line to check our check in bags, told to move to the next line to get screened and carry-on’s checked.
We finally got to go to the gate it was 6:45. At around 7:30am They started to make final checks and started to call seats. We had good seats, we had 3 exit seats and 3 seats before that. The seating went like this My mother, brother in law and father in the exit row. My niece, sister and myself in the row a head.
My mother says to my sister, hey just a small reminder your sister that’s me isn’t’ big on flying. That’s true I am not. I don’t like take off or landing.
The plane takes off I am starting to stress a little bit. I focus on the drink menu, saying this would be a great time to have something strong. The plane finally lays out and I am all good now. Few moments later the flight attendants who are all really nice. Come by with snacks they say take 2 snacks each wow never did we get to snacks. A little bit later She comes back and takes are drink order, I choose a Dr Pepper, sister and my niece take ginger ale. My mom and brother in law had coffee, my dad had a coke.
She come back gives us our drink and then comes back again and say have another snack great and I took a cup of water. Come to think of it now I had to cups of water. Then a little while later captain comes on saying we are close to Orland about 20miles away. We waited to land, finally we land and had to wait for our gate to be free. We finally get to the gait, head out of the plane. And all of us get settled.
We start to walk to Magical Express. Everyone kept telling me I was going the wrong way well I knew I wasn’t. After Arguing which way was Magical Express, they all agreed I was going the right way after all. See I told them Magical Express. We get to the check-in counter get in the line for Pop Century.
I get on face book to let my friends know we made it safe. We load finally and on to pop we go we made one stop before pop. Then we so the Pop Sign. Yahoo! We got right to the check in counter and greeted by a nice Cast member who told us our room was ready. Sweet! My sister was next and was told her room was almost ready so she took her bags to bell service. Went to lunch while My mom, dad and myself went to our room. Then head down to Everything Pop. it’s a nice little counter service place and the gift shop is nice to.
After lunch my sister went to see if her room was ready, it was so she went to pick up her carry-on bags up. Our room are nice and we all decided to head to the buses and go to Magic Kingdom. I love Magic Kingdom. We have a family tradition when all 6 of us go to Disney we have to head to the Walt Disney World Railroad. We ride it all around. Then we walk down main street USA.
Since My mom and I decided this trip we would take it slow. We told the other 4 in the group to go ahead and get a fast pass if any are left for Thunder Mt. or Splash Mt. So my mom and I walked around we saw that Snow White ride was 10 minutes. Well the time lied it was more like 30 minutes. We walked around and got a snack and waited for the group. Finally the group got back together. The 4 of them decided to do thunder mt. We walked around a little more rode a few more things and then it was 7:00 time for dinner. So we head to Liberty Tree Tavern. Meal was good. We all decide we are to tired to continue we went back to pop, went for a swim and called it a night. That was day one.
 

Welcome back to my trip report. Lets Back up.
Before I start day two I for got to add about the day before for we left we dropped 2 of the dogs off at the Spa, okay it’s a kennel but they call it a spa. We took the 3rd dog to the breeders house because she need to go to a dog show while we were away. I went to work:surfweb: as my parents took them for me. When I left home to go to work it was nice an sunny:sunny:, when I got in to work it was raining :umbrella:and it didn’t stop. I got done with work at around 7p.m. and was stressing because I kept think I don’t have time now if I for got anything.
So I get home and we are having Pizza, it was okay nothing special. We finish up any last packing and around 9 - 9:30 we take are suitcase down to the family room. We turn on the TV. And What do we see, Tornado warning. Tornado was going to be in county to which our airport was at. Yikes great. All I keep thinking at that point was who do we contact, Travel agency is closed. We stayed up until about 10:30.
When we got up the next morning, the tornado must have passed by but their was no damage to the airport and we didn’t hear much about if their was any real damage to the area, or if it went around the area.
This was pre travel day
 
I'm not a morning person either but I can pop right out of bed on a day that I'm catching a flight to Disney! Amazing how that happens!

Even though I'm tired when we get there I just can't wait to get to my first park. Do you remember what you had at Liberty Tree?
 
Anita at Liberty Tree tavern it was dinner, They had ham, turkey, beef, all good, salad good. mac and cheese ok, at green beans I like those,
 
Oh that's right. I was thinking of lunch when you can order off the menu!

This is Day 2 of the trip
So lets get started.

We didn’t sleep in late I was so happy to get going, this would be the first time we would be going to the Flower and Garden event. We get up and walk to the food court don’t think any of us got anything but to fill up our mugs we got the day before. They are cute I must say. We know you can’t fill them up in the parks, but I like to bring a poweraid along. It was hot already at 8:00. We had to wait a little while for a bus. My sister and her family were running a little behind. Hardly anyone on the bus when it came. It was like the bus was just ours.
We get to the park a little after it opens, go to the line to check our bags. We get into the parkwalk around a little. We wanted to get a chance to see the gardens. So nice to just walk around a little and not have to be in a rush since our lunch wasn’t until 1:10. We did get to do a few rides before lunch. Spaceship Earth and it might have been Mission Space code green yup I am chicken when I comes to most rides, I don’t like really dark rides and I don’t like inclosed rides. Well I got both in one shot. They tricked me.
We 3 (Mom, Dad, and me) Walk back to the world showcase as its getting close to our families ADR time and Le Cellier Steakhouse, we meet up with the other 3 members. They had a good morning, they got to walk a round a little and do a ride or 2 not sure what they did can’t remember, I know they got fast pass for Mission Space but they like the orange side. I now can say I have done Mission Space and can cross that off the list.
Before we ate met up with my sister and her family we did a little shopping, I went to Norway and bought a jacket, my mother went to one of the flower and garden stands a got a Pluto statue it very cute. After that we made are way down to Le Cellier. We only had to wait a little while. I knew I want the Le Cellier Mushroom Filet Mignon but I love those Cream Cheese Mashed Potato. My mother also had Le Cellier Filet Mignon she got the risotto and she ordered the Grilled Asparagus. My niece went with the Le Cellier Filet Mignon since this was my niece first time on the adult DDP, we told her to let them know don’t put and sauce on the side and get the Cream Cheese Mashed Potatos. My sister, brother in-law and my dad got the New York Strip Steak for some reason, I think one of them got a different side, but I have know idea what they got instead. I also got a cup of the cheddar cheese soup. We like to dip the bread in it. I must be the only one but I really don’t like that pretzel bread in fact I don’t like pretzels. For drink 4 of us got Moosehead Pale Ale, My mother got a pomegranate splash she said it was really good. We got bottle water, my father also had coke, my niece go the one of the smoothies I think she got strawberry. For dessert we got something different, my brother in law had chocolate on chocolate whiskey cake, I think My sister got he chocolate moose, My mom probably got the crème brulee. I got the S’more it was only okay my niece got ice cream, and my dad either the whiskey cake or the moose. It was all very good. Now I had request this is a must for the next trip. So I will try my best.
After lunch we walked around, we started with the Canada beer cart, I got and split the trontopolitin (spelling?) it was very good. Then we shopped in the UK. Went to France then found a niece seat. Got something cold to drink. Water is always good on a very hot day. My father and brother-in law tried morocco’s beer they didn’t like it very much, I didn’t try it. After a little while of a very nice rest, we walk around word showcase until we got to Norway we had to visit the trolls we rode Maelstrom we like this ride.
Then we decide to go and have a dip in the pool and a nice rest. We later went back to Epcot for a little while. It was a nicer to just sit back and relax. We did have a late dinner. It wasn’t very good we had it at pop century. This is the only down fall of Pop Century the food was always cold. Which my mother got sick from but was fine the next morning. She did complain to the manager of the food court. The next day. That was Day 2.
 
Mmmmm, just thinking about the mushroom fillet and cream cheese mashed potatoes makes my stomach growl....
That has to be one of my favorite Disney meals ever!
Sorry your mom got sick after eating at the Pop food court. They need to take care of that!:eek:

They gave her a free bottle of ginger ale and few other things. that was nice and yes they needed to do fix up the food court heating food and keeping an eye on that.
I wish I could have the fillet for dinner yummmmmmmmmm
