The Princess and the Knave take on the World! Complete with pics!

[Shyest99]

Absolutely GREAT report!!! I loved it. The pictures were amazing!

 

[GoofyBaby]

Scottny – I sure will. I want to try Photomovie on a future trip – it looks so neat!

Elmo888 – Thank you! I really loved them too. Yes, James is a cap-to-shirt matcher most of the time! Probably has something to do with the fact that he is upper management at his job, but that’s just my guess. However, James doesn’t like the fitted caps – he likes the adjustable ones!

PirateFish989 – Why thank you so much! I am thrilled you are enjoying my report! I give kudos to your mom, and anyone else who can be chipper that early! I used to work at a fitness center and I had to be there at 5 a.m., which meant getting up at 4 a.m.! Needless to say, I only worked there for 7 months!

TKDisneylover – You are very welcome! I was so happy to share them with you! You are going to have a blast in December staying at the AKL! I wish your family a magical, pixie-dust filled trip!

Dixielady908 – Thank you so much! We had such a blast that the time just flew by! It only felt like we were there a few days! I was so happy to share with you!

Hi Jen, my dear sweet friend! I am still around, I promise! I just haven’t been feeling very well lately. . .I had so much fun in all my pictures! I really love PhotoPass. . .it was a genius idea! We are going to have a blast ourselves in two months!

Mymainmouse – Thank you so much! I really love them too. I found out all of the little Disney secrets right here on the DIS – it was a tremendous help for our trip! I’ve been told they are not doing the Tink pictures anymore, but ask anyway when you go. . .all of our Tink pictures were done in front of Cinderella Castle and on the bridge to Tomorrowland. It certainly can’t hurt to ask!

Mari360 – Awwww, thank you! I’m so glad you like it! I just loved the Prime Time Café! That’s hilarious that hour hubby had to set the table and DS had to eat all his veggies! I just love the interaction there! We made sure to tell the hostess before we were seated that we wanted a fun, interactive waiter/waitress and we weren’t disappointed!

Pierresgirl – The Photopass pictures are wonderful! I was so pleased how they turned out! That’s cool about my sister and your sis-in-law looking alike! They do say everyone has a long lost twin somewhere! It’s been a tough adjustment for us, though, with them eloping. . .now they are already trying for a baby! I really do hope it works out for them. . .Thank you so much for the hugs!

Shyest99 – Awww, thank you so much! I am so glad you’ve enjoyed my report and pictures!

WOW!!! I'm now all caught up after being away a few days. Just like all of the previous posters have mentioned, your PhotoPass pictures are just fab-u-lous!! Thanks for posting them and for sharing your incredible TR!!

 

[Jennifer48]

Fantastic PhotoPass pictures Carol!! Some of the areas you got your picture taken, I've never seen a PhotoPass photographer around. Awesome! Thank you for sharing!

 

[melsmom12]

Oh, Carol! I'm crying as I'm reading your last entry. I know exactly how you felt, watching Wishes, although I can't imagine how hard it would be to leave after 2 weeks. You truly lived my dream vacation, I'm envious and so happy for you all at the same time!

Seriously, I'm going to start all over with your trip report and live vicariously all over again. It's the best trip report!

 

[retiredkid]

Carol, thanks for the BESTEST tr I have read. I did the entire thing in one sitting. (with breaks for my back & eyes, of course) You guys lived the dream vacation, one that you will always remember. I am so envious. You are such a beautiful, photogenic girl and obviously have fun having her pictures taken. I always run away from the camera and I am always the one taking the pictures. You have got me thinking that to heck with it. I should just bite the bullet and have some fun pics taken. We are going in Sept and staying at the POP It was a very pleasurable day indeed, sharing you trip. Thank you!!!

Definatly do this! My now deceased grandma HATED having her photo taken as she always felt fat & frumpy. We have very few photos of her but the one cherished one I have is her hiding behind a tree & peeking out with a big smile on her face as if to say, "Ha, ha you can't see me." It is so playful & beautiful. No one notices the things about you that you think they do. They only notice how much fun you are having.

Hey Goofbaby!

What a AWESOME and INCREDIBLE trip report!

I cannot get over how beautiful and vibrant your pictures came out. I am definitely going to buy that camera! (Don't tell my wife...yet!)

We have to have another meet up - hopefully at Disneyland! Let's keep in touch!

Take care,

Seacrest (Tom)

 

[GoofyBaby]

Tommys Mommy – Awww, thank you! I was so happy to share my trip report and pictures with you! It has been a blast!

Jennifer48 – Thanks Jennifer! I kept a keen watch for those PhotoPass photographers and was pleasantly surprised to find them in areas I least expected! It was great! I was delighted to share my pictures with you!

Melsmom12 – Awwww, I hope it’s happy tears! It was truly the hardest thing for me to leave on our last night in the Magic Kingdom. I was starting to feel like I lived there and then we had to go back to reality! It truly was a dream vacation for me. I see you’re going back in a couple of months and I hope you have a wonderful, magical trip!

Retiredkid – Awww, thank you so much! I am flattered you think my report was the bestest! I was honored to share it with you. And I very impressed you read it all in one sitting – that’s quite a feat! It really was the once-in-a-lifetime dream vacation. I doubt I’ll ever get to go back for two weeks again, but I’ll always have the wonderful memories we made! Thank you so much for your compliments! Again, I am truly flattered. I had so much fun in Disney and I love hamming it up for the cameras because it is so much fun! So I say you should say what the heck and go for it! Have some fun pictures taken of yourself! You won’t regret it – I promise! Have fun at the Pop in September! I’ll be back at the Pop with my dear friend Jen for a DIS Meet at MNSSHP!

Esterhead – I totally agree with you! You couldn’t have said it better!

Seacrest! How are you doing my MAYER & Banana Dance friend? I am so glad you liked my report! I was so honored to get to meet you & your wonderful family in Epcot! I love my Canon S3 IS camera and I know you’ll love yours too! No worries – I won’t tell your DW anything! I’d love to have another meet-up in Disneyland! My dear friend Jen and I are already planning to come to Disneyland in October 2008, but we both said that if we couldn’t wait that long, we may just go during Spring Break 2008! I hope you and your family are doing well!

Carol, my dear sweet friend, reading your comments in your post just make me so excited for our upcoming trip and then all the planning we can do for our trip to DL, we are just going to be having so much fun, I can't stand it, I am just busting at the seams!!!!

 

[pl'smama]

Goofybaby, thank you so much for your wonderfuly fantastic TR! I just finished it after about two and a half hours and I feel as though I took this dream vacation with you and James. Your photos and naration of them are awesome.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Suz

 

[luvfigment]

So I totally found your report as it ended but I loved reading it!!! It was a great Trippie and I loved all of the pictures...especially the ones of the Polynesian.

Did you like the location of Tokelau? I am going to stay at the Polynesian in Oct and was thinking of requesting that building but I am not sure if it is the best to try and get. We have a GV booked and I want to have a pleasant view and a convient location. TIA

Hi Figment,

I am so glad you enjoyed reading it - thank you so much for taking the time to do so! We loved our location in Tokelau and I highly recommend it! It is centrally located and close to everything. Our view was facing the Tahiti building and we were in room 3916 (2nd room from the end nearest the lagoon). If we get to stay at the Poly in the future, we are requesting this room again!

Hi Jen, my sweet friend! Me too! I am so excited now for our future DL trip where we can eat at Goofy's Kitchen & Blue Bayou and ride all the rides you had to miss on your last trip! I am bursting at the seams too! So we'll just burst at the seams together!

I found your trip report last night and was up till 3AM reading it and finished this morning Your trip report was fantastic....Your pictures are absolutely beautiful!!!! The shots you took were amazing. You and James seemed to have so much fun. I am unable to go this year but I felt like I was there with your pictures...Thank you for that

 

[pl'smama]

It is so great that you both had such a terrific time GoofyBaby. I actually saw your BBB photos on the BBB thread just after you originally posted them and you looked awesome! Quite the inspiration to us older princesses who are sitting on the fence!!

Congrats on your graduation!! What are your plans now, if I may ask?

Oh, I have been sharing your story with many non DISers and they were all impressed by your dream vacation.

Thank you again, Suz

I am so sorry it took me forever to post again - I just started my junior year of college and it has been very hectic! I am so glad you enjoyed my report! James and I really did have a blast. I loved getting to take all of those pictures - I am so glad you enjoyed them! And so happy to hear you felt like you were there too - that was exactly what I wanted to convey when writing my report! I am so glad it worked! I was so happy to share my trip with you!

Hi Suz!

It really was the trip of a lifetime. I LOVED going to BBB and I am going again with my dear friend Jen and 4 other older princesses in a month (and we're going all at the same time), so it is REALLY going to be a blast! I hoped I was able to inspire other older princesses to go to BBB! It was just too much fun!

Thanks for the congrats! I graduated college, but just community college, and got my Associate in Arts Degree in May 2007, right before our trip. But it was a VERY big deal for me, since I am 34 years old and never thought I'd EVER go back to college! I am now at UNT studying Music Education and though it is harder than everything I have ever done, I am loving every minute of it. I want to teach elementary school music when I graduate in a few years!

Carol, I am sure with the determination that has brought you this far you will certainly succeed and become a fantastic music teacher! How could you not!?

Enjoy your studies and don't forget to take some down time. I will be watching for your next trip report!
