There's a Giraffe in my Stocking! A Mom/Daughter Christmas trip!

[NancyLuvsMickey]

Bummer about the SD card and the lost pictures... But at least you realized it right away and only lost a few verses at the end of your trip and losing them all...

I totally agree about the MVMCP... Been to it once and once was enough for me... It was ok, but nothing like MNSSHP...

Disney totally rocks at Christmas time... I just love all the decorations...

 

[petals]

love your MVMCP pics. Sorry your card broke and you lost some of your pics though. That happened me after my nephew's 5th birthday and I lost nearly all his birthday pics and him and his mam writing his letter to Santa we brought the card to a camera shop and they were able to restore some of the pictures though so maybe see if any camera shop near can do that. You won't get them all back but you might get some if you still have the card that is.

Glad you guys had a great time despite the crowds! I wanted to see the castle show so badly, but it took 40 minutes to order at Casey's and I missed it! Can't wait to hear about Hollywood Studios!!

Casey's was packed out everytime we were near there!

Well at least things turned out ok in the end! Sorry about the pics, its happened to me so i can relate!

The ones I lost with my camera had a few with Mickey & Minnie, but thank goodness I got those on photopass, too!

I might try to take the card to a camera shop. I didn't even think about that, since Best Buy said they couldn't do anything, I didn't think about any where else to go.

Our next park day was....Hollywood Studios!!!

It's been a few years since we've been there, so we were excited to go! The last few times we went to WDW, we only visited 2 parks, or DCL, so we were ready to go back!


Part One: (Because I have more photos to upload of this day):



The first thing we noticed when we arrived was the beautiful tree!!

We found a few characters right away, with very short lines!!

We noticed Tigger and Eeyore also, but when we went to get in line, the CM said they were getting ready for a break and would be back in a few minutes.

So we decided to go see The Little Mermaid, then go back to see Tigger and Eeyore. The wait time for Little Mermaid was 15 minutes.

Now, back to Tigger & Eeyore!

When DD went to take pics, they had some really cute interactions! She wanted a pic with Eeyore by himself, and Tigger was acting "jealous". It was so funny! (But DD did want to get a really good pic with Eeyore so she could give it to my sister for Christmas in a frame. My sis LOVES Eeyore!!! But she's never been to WDW.) I loved these pictures, but was really hoping to get their pics in their holiday outfits. (But will we ???????????)

Since Tigger was jealous, she said she would take a pic with him. So then Eeyore startd acting "gloomy" and jealous. It was too cute!!!

We then headed to TSM. The wait time was 70 minutes, but instead of waiting we decided to go see the Toy Story gang:

When we finished up there, the wait time was still 70 minutes, but we decided we'd come back later.

Big mistake, though!!!! because each time we were back in that area, the wait times were up to 110 and 200 minute wait time!!!! I was so disappointed that we didn't just go ahead and wait when it was a 70 minute wait. Later on, all the fast passes were gone, so we didn't get to ride it!



Coming up: Part Two of HS!!

Eeyore is so cute! I don't think Ive ever seen him out and about.

And I must say you are looking slimmer

 

[jenseib]

Love the eeyore and tigger pictures. I love when characters interact like that.

 

[cocofifi]

Yay - a mother/daughter trip report! Love those. I'm planning on taking one with my little girl. Enjoying your trip report. Sorry about your lost pics. Your daughter is gorgeous!

 

[petals]

Love the DHS update. We've never been lucky enough to meet Tigger and Eeyore there we get sent away everytime

 

[StephaniexMarie]

As we got ready to leave the park, we peeked over the bridge and noticed the water was GREEN!
And we were trying to figure out what happened, because if you walked to the other side of the bridge, it was not green!!! (weird)

We saw the green water in early December. It was very strange!

Love the TR so far. Your daughter's AK shirt is SO cute!!

I partly agree with what you said about MVMCP. We wanted to see all we could, but we didn't have nearly enough time. We went on a handful of rides, saw the 7 dwarves, Holiday Wishes, Mickey's Once Upon A Christmastime Parade and had plenty of cookies but there was still SOO much left! I also wished that they had more unique MVMCP merchandise. If we went during the holidays again, we'd probably go - but NOT on a busy Friday!

Count me in!! Enjoying your TR..

Thank you! I have been trying to lose more weight, but it's slowed down a little. For about 2 months, I've been at a plateau and haven't been losing, but not gaining either.

Love the eeyore and tigger pictures. I love when characters interact like that.

Thank you! I love our Mom/daughter trips!

Love the DHS update.
Thanks!

Next up, a few more firsts!

We had never done the Backlot Tour, or the Lights, Motors, Action show before.

I was really excited to see this! Walt Disney's plane!!

We enjoyed the walk-through exhibit stuff they had:

Enjoyed this show!

A couple more pics along the way:

Time to eat!!! We went to Pizza Planet!!

It was pretty busy, so we went upstairs to sit, where it was actually kinda empty!

Got some pizza and salad, and a gingerbread cupcake to share!

Close up of yummy cupcake!!

We went over to the Monsters, Inc. character line, and waited to see which character we would meet! I thought this area was cute!

The line wasn't long at all, so we finally got to meet (for the first time):

He did a lot of fun interacting!


A few more pics along the way.

Next up: Finishing up our day at HS!!

 

[petals]

Cute cupcake! I wanted to eat at Pizza Planet but either didn't find it or ran out of time i forget which!

 

[Pinkocto]

No gaining during the holidays is a huge accomplishment. I'm sad to say I fell off the wagon, but I'm back on now.

I love the Backlot Tour. All the movie props are so cool to see.

 

[petals]

I might try to take the card to a camera shop. I didn't even think about that, since Best Buy said they couldn't do anything, I didn't think about any where else to go.

I took mine to a Fuji camera shop over here and they recovered some of the pics so it might work.

 

[jenseib]

I really need to spend more time at HS. I don't think we have ever seen many characters there.

 

[leshunlenese]

Hey! im joining you from my TR. I read the 1st page and so i got to go back to read the rest. I loved the pic of you guys with my love mickey!



edit:
ok i finished. Im glad i did not have too far to go. I loved animal kingdom tree's at camp minnie mickey. The donald one was my favorite and i like how they put the characters hat's at the top. Secondly, im sorry about your pics. i can kind of relate except i lost a few pics because my 2 year old got a hold of my sd card and ate it. I have never been to mvmcp but hope to go next year and i do not know what is but TSM is always crowded and it is wired because i can remember going in march of 09 and rode it 3 times without that long of wait but it has never been that short since.

 

[nannye]

Loved it! Sorry about the SD card. Last summer I accidentally deleted videos off our card
Love the tr so far!

We enjoyed the Backlot Tour! Wish we would have had more time to look at the props through the line, but it was pretty much walk on so we didn't really get to look at much in there.

I took mine to a Fuji camera shop over here and they recovered some of the pics so it might work.

I'll have to try that!

I really need to spend more time at HS. I don't think we have ever seen many characters there.

That was our first time there in a while, so I was surprised at how much we enjoyed it. It seems like when we went before, we didn't enjoy it as much. Maybe it's because of the lack of rides that I'm not chicken to go on!!!

I didn't ride anything there, but did walk through the Tower of Terror line with DD, and she rode it without me!
