Disneyworld Trip Chapter 21 - Just One More Thing

We had just rolled our very full selves out of Tony’s and were about to head to our last activity of the day but Tink was still cold and we had to leave her napkin-jacket at the restaurant. So we headed into one of the shops on Main Street and got her a Tink sweatshirt to wear. We had been thinking about getting it for her anyways and she was cold so now seemed to be as good of time as any.

Now we were set for that one last magical moment....

That’s right - its time for Wishes!

We stood near Crystal Palace and had a great view. We had wanted to head over to the Rose Garden to have Tinkerbell fly right over our heads but the crowds were really thick by the time we made it up there. So we got a spot where we could and waited anxiously for the magic to begin....

Then it happened!

And it was amazing....

Sorry my photos are a little out of focus.....I have a tremor and shake just enough to take really lousy night time photos! Oh well....you get the idea of how Wishes looked!

It was time to head back to the hotel....

We took our time getting out to the bus stop and luckily only had to wait for 2 buses before we were able to get on. Not too bad I didn’t think....I thought we’d be waiting forever!

Got back to the hotel and stopped by the kiddie pool to cool off our feet. Someone took a pic for us!


Stopped and took one more picture on the way to our room

We were all tired and sleep came quickly.....good night!

at first I didn't read what you wrote and was like "Oh My goodness! They're walking on water!!"


It has been a loooong day!

 

[jordanyosh]

What a perfect ending to a great day......

Oooooo.. I just love the big puffy white fireworks at Wishes... even though the pictures are blurry, you can still catch the beauty of the show!!

It probably seems so long ago, doesn't it? But you can remember the magical feelings just like it was yesterday?

 

[scottny]

what a nice way to end the evening. pics=

Those fireworks shots were pretty good! It's hard for everyone to take night time shots.

LOVE the kiddie pool. Gives my littles something to do when they bigs are in the pool. We actually spent most of our pool time at the hippy dippy pool this time, even though our room was near the bowling pin. It's just easier with the preschoolers.

I am only on park day two of my report, and we were there the same time, so I think you're doing pretty well!

 

[Tanya90210]

what a great chapter.... I like the pictures.. blurry or not

Cute fam pic at the kiddie pool... great idea!!

 

[Shmu]

Ahhhh......Wishes.
Words can't describe.
Great pic in the pool.

 

[annie1995]

Sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you are doing well!! Fantastic pictures of the fireworks, they are so very hard to take without a tripod! Any plans for another trip in the future? How are your beautiful girls doing? Can't wait for more pics and another installment to come!!

 

[earthfaries]

Another great update! Wonderful pictures of the castle and the fireworks

The pic of you and the family is so great!

Two buses...not bad!

 

[declansdad]

Hey I missed lots of updates; that's what I get for having to work and coach.

I'm working backawards and I must say the food at Tony's looks great. We are thinking of changing an ADR for our trip. Maybe we'll look at Tony's again.

 

[jordanyosh]

just checkin in Sarah.

Hahahaha!!!!! Yes, we really were walking on water!

What a perfect ending to a great day......

It really was Jordan!

I love the big white ones too! They make the castle seem so small because they are so huge! It does seem like a million years ago in some ways and just like yesterday in others.....wish I was going back....

what a nice way to end the evening. pics=

It really was Scott!

Hey Sarah! Nice to see you here! We liked the Hippy Dippy pool too - except for the night that they were fishing "something" out of it! Ick!

Thanks Tanya! I like them too even if they are blurry!

Ahhhh......Wishes.
Words can't describe.
Great pic in the pool.

I know...I get the same feeling about it....

Sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you are doing well!! Fantastic pictures of the fireworks, they are so very hard to take without a tripod! Any plans for another trip in the future? How are your beautiful girls doing? Can't wait for more pics and another installment to come!!

Thanks Annie. I am doing much better. As for another trip.....hoping!

The girls are doing great. We are on our second week of spring break and it has been so nice having them home with me!

Next installment coming up.....

Another great update! Wonderful pictures of the castle and the fireworks

The pic of you and the family is so great!

Hey Declansdad! Long time, no see!

Tony's was good. I wasn't expecting it to be but it was and we couldn't beat the view!

just checkin in Sarah.

Hey Jordan! You looking for something?

Disneyworld Trip Chapter 22 - Yawn, Stretch...Welcome to Day 4

Thanks everyone for hanging in here with me as I poke along with my trip report. I know I am not breaking any speed records here but I am enjoying going back over the pictures and the memories.

Anyways.....Stitch woke us up again and as usual - tossed a bag of clothes at the kids and jumped in the shower.

Today though was going to be a special day so I had to give them the once over before we left the room to make sure they looked okay.

And clean!

“No one better spill breakfast on themselves this morning” I said as I made eye contact with Belle. She knew what I was talking about!

HG made the coffee run for us this morning while I finished getting us girls ready and then it was time to head for the bus.

Stopped to take the “just in case” pics again....

Yes, I realize they are dressed in white.

Yes, I realize how bad that could have gone so fast!

But like I said, I had a plan today.....

It was going to be Photo Day!

Yep, I was determined to get some nice photos of the girls today so crisp, white dresses it was!

Epcot was our destination today.....

Got off the bus....HG went throught the “with bags” line and the girls and I went through the “no bags” line and we were off!

Well, for a couple of steps anyways.....

When we were there in Sept 1999 they had just started the Leave a Legacy things at Epcot and Belle and I were one of the very first people to do it.

It wasn’t supposed to start until the next day once word spread that they had started mad people started showing up all over the place. I mean MAD people! They were angry that it was a day early and therefore didn’t get to be one of the first people.

Get over it I say....

Too bad - we got to be one of the first!

So here we are checking out our photo 8 years later.

And a close up of us!

We are on the first big cement thing when we walk in and the first one on your right if you are looking towards Spaceship Earth!

Anyways....back to the white dresses and my need for good photos!

Stopped a Photopass photographer that looked like she knew what she was doing. Not all of them do but this one seemed to know her way around her camera.

Handed over our Photopass Card and told her to go for it!

Here are a couple that I like.....

Reclaimed our Photopass card and headed around the golf ball.....hmm.....where should we go? Test Track or Soaring?

Hey....its the Dream Team standing over there and they aren’t doing anything....lets go talk to them!

We have found that it is always a good idea to strike up a conversation with the Dream Team.....

I’m just saying....

Anyways....they asked us what ride we were heading for and we said we weren’t sure. They “suggested” we head to Figment. And quickly!

We thanked them and headed off to Figment. I mean who are we to argue with the Dream Team?!!

As we walked up there was more of the Dream Team handing out something!

Score!

We all got Year Of A Million Dreams lanyards!

Woohoo!!!!

Did the happy dance!

Thank you Dream Team!

From there we headed to The Seas to try to meet up with Crush!

Rode in the clam shells and then looked at the jellyfish while we waited for Crush to open.

Here is Tink with her jellies. She loves those things!


Then it was time for Crush. He was great as usual but boy, there were some rude, pushy parents in there!

That’s all I am going to say about that.....

After we left the theater we saw that they had a diver in the tube. Not sure exactly what she was doing there other then trying out what it was like to be on the other side of the glass at an aquarium but who knows.

Belle was fascinated!

She asked a question to the CM who was outside the glass and she told her to write her question on a magna-doodle and hold it up for the diver.

So she did!


Then she got her answer from the diver the same way!


It was pretty cool actually!

Here is a pic of me being a flamingo. I have no idea where I was or why I was doing it but anyways....

Then we headed into Sunshine Seasons for a snack. Yummy!

Stay tuned for more later.....

 

[annie1995]

I love the pics of the girls in their white dresses by the Epcot ball!! Those turned out fantastic!!!! How cool about the dream team giving you a push towards Figment and being able to score those Lanyards!!! We never even saw the dream team, who knows maybe this year!!! Can't wait to see more!!!

Oh yeah......... In your first just in case pic of Belle, she has something in her hand. Is that one of the Disney cameras? How are they if it is !

 

[scottny]

great update and pics.

one of the kids I took was picked to go up to the diver. he had to sign a few things.

 

[Tanya90210]

The girls look gorgeous in their white dresses... you however are one brave mama I wouldn't have dared with mine! I love the Photopass shots!

 

[declansdad]

Those are great pictures, I love all the poses. DS has to pose in pictures; you have to ssneak up on him to get candid shots.

Since he won't be with us in August, I guess I will have to get dw to pose for all the pics.

Maybe I will take the "Just in case" picture of her every morning.

 

[earthfaries]

What a great start to your day! You guys really are having a magical trip

That is so special you had your pic on Leave a Legacy, Belle was so little

How neat about the Dream Team "suggesting" you ride Figment So cool you got Dream Fastpasses!!!

The girls looked so nice in their white dresses...I can just imagine what they looked like at the end of the day

The dessert snack looks yummy

I'm looking forward to more!
