The Trip That Almost Wasn't - December '09 (We are BACK!!!! TR to start soon)

[Leger13]

I LOVE the pics of the Flower and Garden Festival. I want to go during that so bad! You were there for Star Wars Weekend and F&G! Lucky! about you and Becca and the anniversary!

Yea we were pretty lucky for sure. I think what happened was they elongated the F&G Fest and started SWW early so that's why they over lapped. Otherwise we would have seen one or the other and not both.

Love the topiary pictures! I miss going to Epcot in May...it's just so lovely!

So cool of the guys to get the new tire while you girls enjoy the park

I've never done Pizza Planet...may need to add this to our Nov trip.

You are so right! It really is. I had never seen the F&G Fest before so I'm so glad I got to enjoy it even if it was just for a few hours.

Yeah they were great! Chris was so sweet on this trip making sure I had fun and didn't have to worry about anything.

Oh yes I recommend it. You might want to try and hit it as soon as it opens though because it's pretty busy almost always. We hit it for the first time last September and I'm so glad we did because it's such a cute place and makes me feel like I'm in the movie

What a fun update! TSM is so great! I've only ridden it 2 times because those lines are SO SO long and the fastpasses run out SO SO early! So I can't wait to ride it again! I wanna go back...waaahhhhhh....

 

[cherbear]

oh and WTG Chris and James for going to fix the tire. I hope they got back quickly!

I know I say this every time but I SO want you to go back too! I wish you were planning a trip.

And boy are you right about the FP's running out quickly. They were gone by the time our return time came around. And I must say the ride is a lot more jerky than it was last September. I guess it can't stay smooth and new forever.

Yeah they were great about it! I'm so glad to have them and they were able to take care of that darn tire for me. I almost had a break down about it thinking about how the heck we were going to get it fixed but Chris kept me calm about it and took care of it all.

girl you KNOW I wish I was. But if our other plans get to happen then that will be awesome too...

that's great. I would have been very worried too. I especially hate when anything throws a wrench in my WDW plans! (I almost said fork instead of wrench...lmao!! )

Oh yes that will for SURE be fantastic and then I will be jealous of YOU!

Oh yeah, you know I'm like that too. I hate when WDW plans go awry. So not fun!

Were you thinking a "fork in the road" maybe?

Ah okay good! I was starting to get worried that you weren't going to go the way you wrote your last post.

Great update girl

You and Becca are a riot

Love that Chris corrected the CM...


Have to stop at Toy Story Planet sometime. Always afraid to go in there. I doubt if we go in there, we could eat in peace as I am sure Trent would want to play games in there.

Did you go in arcade? If so, were there a lot of games in there ?

Yay for the boys going to replace your tire...and love tire warranties..they are great

Your pics so far of Topiary are beautiful....Been during F&G Festival twice now and love it

thanks girl!

yeah....we are goofs!

It was an off time when we went so not quite as bad as it was the first year we stopped in there. Was a MAD house. Just try and hit it right after it opens or when it's not lunch/dinner time. The games looked really cool! they even have an arcade Guitar Hero game.

Yes they are great. I have never had a tire warranty until this set of tires (my dad doesn't believe in that stuff but since I bought this set I got what i wanted AND the warranty!) and I'm glad I did get the warranty. Would have been out $125 for the tire itself not to mention the labor if I had not had the warranty.

Oh yeah I think it's one of my favorite things they do at EPCOT for sure!

Oh neat...sounds like cool games there

Yeah, we had warrnaty with my last tires and totally forgot as it had been so long

when they gave us price for two tires..I about fainted, because of how cheap it was

well I guess that's a good reason to faint then. Better than fainting because it was so expensive.

You girls are so crazy!

Glad Chris corrected the CM. He wanted to be wished Happy Anniversary too! How cute is that??

As you know, we took the kids to Pizza Planet last year, too. They had a great time in there. I, however, got bored and couldn't wait to leave. I'm with you in that I hate crowded counter service restaurants. Sounds like it was pretty crazy in there.

Do you have AAA? I'm pretty sure they would have fixed that tire for you for free. But still, $33 isn't bad. Good thing you had that warranty.

Those topiary pics are great. Kinda makes me want to go back. But I SWEAR we're just going to Universal Studios. I will not be conned into going to WDW.

 

[topdog]

Great update!

The F&G show looked cool. I was going to take a topiary class when I was there in 2005. But even it was a 10 days stay, I just couldn't find the time for the class. The best part, I didn't even have to pay for it. It was part of the premium package. So instead, we did the KTTK tour and parasailing 3 times.

I never got a chance to ride the TSM. It gets crowded so fast. Everytime we want to try, it's 120 minutes wait and no more FP.

hehe I'll take that as a compliment.

Yeah he was pretty cute about it. It was really funny.

Ah yeah I remember you guys went there. It really can be a mad house in there but like I said, if you go on an "off" time during the day it's not as bad. Still crowded but not *** awful as prime time for lunch or dinner.

No we don't have AAA. I keep considering it but we don't do enough traveling or anything for it to be too beneficial to us.

It's so hard not to go to WDW when you're in Orlando. ARe you guys at least going to hit DTD?

Oh I had no idea they did a topiary class at EPCOT. That's really neat! Chris and I did the KTTK tour in 2003 for our Honeymoon and loved it! That's awesome that you got that deluxe package and did all those really fun and awesome things! I hope to be able to do the Segway tour at EPCOT at some point. Have you done that?

Oh man, well on your next trip as soon as you get into the park go straight to TSM and get your FP's first thing. You gotta ride it at least once. It's so fun!

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

conned?.... CONNNED?????

I know, I know. But seriously - JUNE? AT WDW? You know how much I love people. Just going to US is gonna be torture enough!

hehe I'll take that as a compliment.

It's so hard not to go to WDW when you're in Orlando. ARe you guys at least going to hit DTD?

Oh, we're for suregoing to DTD. I just ordered a gift card for Rainforest Cafe off Mypoints, so hopefully it will come in time for us to go there. And the kids want to go to Planet Hollywood again. I'd really like to see what that dinosaur restaurant is like. And I'm sure we'll do some shopping. I don't know about Disney Quest. We still have our no expiration option on last year's tickets that will get us in there, but I can't stand that place for longer than like an hour. And I can't see paying, what is it? 40? for joe to get in there too when we don't really do anything.

I always put off getting AAA too. But I gave in a couple of years ago. I do a lot of driving for work so it is probably a good idea. AND, I ended up in a ditch on the side of the road one winter; it would have been beneficial then. Honestly, with the hotel discounts and the discount we get for the ice rink, it has already paid for itself.
