There is NO random dancing at Disney! A June TR *NEW 9/19 *FINAL THOUGHTS*

[jordanyosh]

NOOOOO! It can't be over already!

 

[Porturican]

Happy Belated Birthday! I turn the Big 40 in 2011... Love your update too!

 

[Stefy]

Aww I can't believe that your TR is done I have really enjoyed reading it

The Crystal Palace pics are so cute, I love this restaurant Sorry you couldn't stroll and soak up Main Street, but there is always next time

I love the pics of Pixie Hollow and not a bad wait time.

Glad you had a great birthday

 

[jenjolt]

Oh no...I'm so sad to see this trip coming to an end!!!! Are you sure it has to end....LOL!!!

Loved your pictures of the kids and the Pooh Characters!! I also love how you let them decide how they wanted to spend their last day!!! They look so cute with the fairies...how fun!!!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

The last day!?!

For a last day it sounded pretty darn good. Dumbo and the fairies? YAY! I adore riding Dumbo, I guess that just means I'm a big kid!

I'm so sad to see it end and ashamed I still haven't finished mine yet.

 

[dismagiclover]

Hearing you saying goodbye to the Beach Club brought a tear to my eye! Oh the memories. And your trip report ending almost feels like my trip report ending which almost feels like my actual trip ending all over again. I think I'll go to my corner and cry now

Great CP pictures and great Fairy pictures! Those are both great places. And you gotta ride Dumbo at least once a trip Waiting for those final thoughts

 

[IluvXU]

Sad it is over, but it was so fun to read along and imagine what it will be like when my kids get bigger. You had a great last morning... and honestly those Dumbo and Fairy waits are not that bad. Wish we would have said hi!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, I am so sad your TR is almost over!!!

Too bad about running late to the Crystal Palace, but you got some great pictures with the characters!

I love that all the kids wanted to ride Dumbo!!!

You met the fairies!!! Ian looks absolutely enthralled with Fawn -- just precious!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

I love that you had a safe and objective perspective of the Dumbo Dash-It was have been interesting to objectively watch that...

The CP is so pretty inside and I've heard such great things about the food...it makes me want to overcome my irrational fear of the Pooh characters-they seem so "BIG"-especially Piglet...which is of course ridiculous because I have no problems with the other characters...

Great pictures w/the fairies...

No don't say goodbye to the BC...

Draw it out...
Draw it oooooouuuuuuutttttttt....

 

[Angies1274]

Ahhh..the last day is sooo sad!! I still can't believe your TR is almost over, I've had so much fun reading it.

We love CP!! It sounds like you had a great breakfast!! It's always so nice to get into MK before the park opens. Sorry that you were running late. Last year, we scheduled CP for breakfast on our last morning too. We were also a few minutes late, with last minute packing and having to bring our luggage down for them to hold. I under estimated how long everything would take, so as we were running down Main Street, I was trying to snap pictures of the castle. I'm surprised they didn't come out blurry.

Love Dumbo!! and the pictures with the fairies are just beautiful!! Ian's expression as he was looking up at Fawn is adorable.

I can't wait to hear your final thoughts.....

 

[vamassey1]

Oh you had such a lovely last day. Crystal Palace is a beautiful place to eat. I've only had dinner so I need to try breakfast. We only met 2 fairies when we went to. We had Tink and Silvermist. Danielle would have much preferred Fawn, she's her favorite too. CHH is my favorite counter service in MK. Your photopass pictures are beautiful.

I'm so sad your trip is ending. When are you going again? I want to read another report.

 

[eandesmom]

I'm glad you survived the big 40...it's much better AFTER it's over! 40's are fabulous!

Darling pictures of your last day, what a lovely morning you all had! I can't wait to read your final thoughts.

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Oh, your whispered goodbye made my eyes well up.

I love Crystal Palace! Such a beautiful place and the characters... although I agree Piglet should be downsized.

Ah, Dumbo. What is it about thee ride that makes us all love you?

Pixie Hollow has joined our list for "next time". We have to get up to snuff on the characters though, we only know Tink. Ian looked downright smitten, he's toooo cute!

I can't believe your done. I've said before, your family is so similar to mine.... I've really really enjoyed your report. Thank you so much for sharing it with us all.

 

[Porturican]

Ok I dont know if I can post this link here or not but It SOOOO reminded me of you and your no random dancing. So if I am not supposed to I appologize moderators...here goes

[Planning fanatic mom]

You made my cry! Saying goodbye is so hard. It is nice to know that someday you will be back. We love CP and the pooh characters.

CHH has become a family favorite here. YUMMY!!

Can't wait for the final thoughts.

 

[Porturican]

What does CHH stand for? I've never been to WDW so I'm just trying to figure it out. Thanks!

 

[MeMom]

Our verdict on the wait for the fairies—worth it! Our interaction with them was just great and it was special to have all of Pixie Hollow to ourselves. Usually I think there are three fairies, but my kids were happy to see Tink and Fawn, who is their favorite, because she’s the animal one lover of the group I guess.

And with that, it was time for us to say goodbye. We were all sad to see our time at Walt Disney World come to an end, but all good things must I suppose. We made it to our car where, even though we weren’t in the least hungry due to the high, high heat, I made people begin eating those lunches.

I took one last inhale of that lovely Beach Club lobby and whispered, my eyes damp, “Goodbye for now. Someday we’ll be back.”

Next Post: Final Thoughts

Our time with the fairies was great, too. They did a great job playing off of each other and talking with our little girls.

I am sad to see your trip end. You get used to seeing each other's families around here, and then poof, the trip is over and you miss seeing these great kids you've had around every few days in pictures. Thanks for sharing your great report with us!

We will look forward to hanging out with you on future trips, though, and seeing you on other trip reports until then.

We say goodbye, too. In my head, I say goodbye to some pretty silly things (goodbye big bunch of balloons, goodbye horse and trolley, goodbye Main Street Bakery, goodbye Goofy sitting on a bench statue) in Disney World as I walk out, but it's something I just need to do!

P.S. I thought it was quite mom-like and funny to make your crew eat food they didn't want just so it wouldn't go to waste. They will probably never let you forget about that, though, and as teenagers and grown kids, they will embellish the story as they tell it to make it quite entertaining and get the last laugh on their dear old mom!

You will be back someday!! I just know it!!

I loved reading along... and am looking forward to the wrap-up!

The last day is sad when it is time to leave. You did get some great pics and the fairy wait wasn't that bad. When we were there it was 70 minutes and it wasn't quite 9:30 am.

Funny, I didn't have a problem turning 40 but 30 was very hard for me.
