This Time It's All About the Dog. A December Solo PTR - TR Link Posted 1/6!!

[Chicago Mo]

WOW!!!! I am exhausted from reading everything your going to do!!!

I can't wait to see if you do get it all in!!!

 

[rteetz]

I've never done four parks in one day I've always wanted to and I hope you accomplish everything you want to do.

 

[missangelalexis]

4 parks in one day, sounds like a great challenge! I think your plans sound super reasonable. Excited for you!

 

[missjackiemcg]

This is like a dream!! I am always crafting master plans that help me maximize my park time and visit as many as possible, but I've never been able to manage all four parks in one day! I surely hope you're able to achieve this plan, and can't wait to read the TR for this day in history

 

[PrincessInOz]

Great plans for 4 parks in one day. It is definitely achievable.

 

[KatMark]

I would love to attempt all four parks in one day, but I could never get Mark to agree to it.

I love your Pluto shirt, and I love your plans.

I think everything is open for EMH's at Epcot except for Figment and Nemo (I know we rode The Land during the last EMH's).

Today is my single digit day!!



I finally got my bag tags on Tuesday so I think I'm all set except for deciding whether to bring capris or jeans, T-shirts or extra sweatshirts, etc.. I've already started obsessing over the 10 day forecast. Right now, Day 1 looks wonderful with a high of 78 and lots of sunshine. Of course I'm sure that will change a hundred times between now and the actual day.

WOW!!!! I am exhausted from reading everything your going to do!!!

So am I!

I can't wait to see if you do get it all in!!!

As long as I do at least one thing in each park I'll be happy. Anything beyond that will be bonus.

I've never done four parks in one day I've always wanted to and I hope you accomplish everything you want to do.

So do I. I think it will be a long but fun day.

4 parks in one day, sounds like a great challenge! I think your plans sound super reasonable. Excited for you!

I think it will be and hopefully I can get most of the stuff I want to do done.

Being by myself should help a lot. Plus I have a lot of time to do it on this day. MK opens at 8 am and Epcot closes at 11:30 pm.

Great plans for 4 parks in one day. It is definitely achievable.

I hope so!

I would love to attempt all four parks in one day, but I could never get Mark to agree to it.

That's why I'm doing it by myself, and not with Jim. He'd feel the same way as Mark.

I love your Pluto shirt, and I love your plans.

Thanks!

I think everything is open for EMH's at Epcot except for Figment and Nemo (I know we rode The Land during the last EMH's).

That's what I was thinking too. I also think that Innovations closes early but I rarely go in there anyway. Not too sure about Ellen's ride either but I have no plans on doing that one on this night!

9 Days !! stay away from the forecasts, stay away from the forecasts Just bring the layers, you may need whatever coat you are wearing in GA the past few days and then again you may not. You have terrific plans, and many late nights followed by early days, BUT you're solo and young you can do it !

 

[KatMark]

I believe Ellen's always closed by 6 pm

So we've pretty much reached the end of the PTR. Since next week is a holiday week, here is the last installment for you. I'm not sure I will have time to post next week or if anyone will be around to read it! If I don't get back here, I'll see you on the other side of my trip with a link to the TR! On with the update......


So sad, this will be my last day at WDW for the foreseeable future. I have no idea when I will be going back again but probably not till late 2016 or early 2017. I have packed a ton into this day and plan to be out all hours of the night. Since I’m doing that, I decided to wear my awesome glow-in-the dark shirt that I bought in October. I haven't even made it to that part on my TR.



My morning is going to start out very early for morning EMH hours at HS.



Can you guess where I’m headed? Do I even need to tell you at this point?



If you didn’t guess TSM then you haven’t really been paying attention to this PTR! After what I hope will be several rides on TSM, I’ll probably head down Sunset Blvd to hit up TOT one more time.



There may be a possibility that I don’t get a chance to see Pluto on the first HS day so he will be a priority if I didn’t see him earlier. I decided after seeing Big Hero 6 that I need to meet Baymax and Hiro so I don’t know if I’ll get both that greet and the Pluto one in on the first day.

I also plan on doing a drawing class on this morning and anything else I may have missed on previous days at HS.



Around 10:30 I will need to head out of the park to catch a boat over to Epcot. I have a lunch ADR at Tutto Italia at 11:30 am. I haven’t eaten at Tutto since 2011 so it was time to go back.

After lunch, I will head out and back to my room. My plan is to pack and take a nap before the evening activities. Problem is, I seriously doubt I’m going to be able to sleep no matter how tired I am at that point. Not when there are parks to be in!

My last park of the trip will be back where I started at MK.



I really have no idea what I will do for the rest of this day at MK but I do know I will not be leaving till they kick me out at 3 am. I do have three FP+ made, BTMR from 3:30 – 4:30, Dumbo from 4:30 – 5:30 and 7DMT from 5:45 – 6:45. I also have a dinner ADR at The Plaza at 7:50 pm.

I do have a DIS meet planned on this night too. My friend Carrie Anne (Cheekypoppins) and her daughter are arriving that evening from Canada (or as Rob and Carrie Anne say Canadia). I’m not sure what we will do but I do know it will be lots of fun!

Like I said, they are probably going to have to drag me out kicking and screaming at 3 am. Well maybe, I've never made it past 1 am before but I'm determined to try this trip!

Sunday, December 7th, 2014

I’m going to tack on the last day here because there is really nothing to report. My flight home is at 12:40 pm so that means catching the Unmagical Express at 9:40 am. I’ll probably stumble bleary-eyed out of bed at the last minute and doze off and on the whole way home.

I do have several extra shirts packed in case I'm a slob during the week and need to change. I'll probably wear one of these home. The one I know I will not be wearing home is this custom.





It's a long sleeved shirt so that's why I don't have it in the official line up for the week. As for not wearing it home, there is a story that I think I forgot to tell in my February TR. I wore this shirt home and the sequins did not agree with the x-ray machines at the airport. If you can imagine where the sequins hit me you can guess how uncomfortable that pat down was!

I also have this shirt packed which is a possibility for the last day.



The last one is actually a sweatshirt. I prefer to have zip up sweatshirts so it's easier to take off layers so this one won't get worn unless there is a pretty cold day during my trip.



And that's the end folks! I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! See you when I get back.

 

[Luvchefmic]

To you, Jim, your Mom, and your doggies too ! See ya real soon !!

 

[KatMark]

Plans for the last day sound great...and exhausting. for a planned DIS meet.

Love all of your Pluto shirts.

Happy Thanksgiving.

 

[missangelalexis]

Sounds like a great morning at Hollywood Studios!

Haha I wouldn't blame you if you don't end up taking that nap!

MK until 3am sounds so fun!! And a DISmeet, very exciting!

Booo to going home I'm sure it will be sad. I love that Pluto and Mickey sweatshirt!! You never know, you may get a chance to wear it!

Have a great Thanksgiving! And have an amazing trip!! I can't wait to hear all about it

 

[missjackiemcg]

Enjoy your last few at home days getting prepared for the most magical place on earth!!! Can't wait til you're back with this TR and pictures from my most favorite place to spend Christmas! It feels like an ETERNITY until our next trip will get here--Christmas 2016! Maybe that's when you'll end up back in WDW, too

 

[PrincessInOz]

Enjoy the countdown. Catch you at the other end! Safe travels.

 

[DMGeurts]

I hope you are having a wonderful time!!!

I just stopped by to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!

Been following but not posting much! I see today is your DISNEY DAY! Woohoo! Safe travels, and looking forward to hearing all about your big solo adventure upon your return!

 

[missangelalexis]

Hi Ariana, long time no post! I hope all is well with you and you had a fantastic trip!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

 

[Pluto0809]

Hi Everyone! Sorry I've been gone so long. Things at work went berserk when I got back from my trip plus I had a very serious case of the Disney blues and did not want to even look at the DIS let alone start a TR. No worries though, while I'm still a little sad I won't be going back for a few years, I am back and started the TR today!

The trip was amazing which is probably why I was so sad when I got home. I can't wait to tell you all about it. Here's a link if you would like to join in.

How Many Times Did I Meet Pluto This Trip?

Hope to see you there! Now on to replies from this thread, then I'm going to update the October TR which I've also neglected. Then I will start the slow process of getting caught up on everyone else's TRs & PTRs. I think that's going to take me quite a long time!

To you, Jim, your Mom, and your doggies too ! See ya real soon !!

Thanks Ruthie!

Plans for the last day sound great...and exhausting. for a planned DIS meet.

It actually turned out to be a very fun day but it will be awhile before I get to writing about it!

Love all of your Pluto shirts.

Thanks! I actually have more that I didn't get to bring on the trip.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks, I hope you had a nice one and also a Merry Christmas.

Sounds like a great morning at Hollywood Studios!

Well, it sounded good on paper. You'll have to hop over to the TR to see what actually happened that day.

Haha I wouldn't blame you if you don't end up taking that nap!

I did try that day but I just cannot nap when I'm at Disney!

MK until 3am sounds so fun!! And a DISmeet, very exciting!

I won't spoil whether I made it all the way till 3 am but it was a very fun night and the DIS meet was wonderful.

Booo to going home I'm sure it will be sad. I love that Pluto and Mickey sweatshirt!! You never know, you may get a chance to wear it!

It was a sad day but I had a wonderful week and I was missing my doggies a bit. Oh and my husband too.

Have a great Thanksgiving! And have an amazing trip!! I can't wait to hear all about it

Thanks, hope your's was nice too. It was an amazing trip for sure!

Not exactly sure when I'll end up back there. It's looking like Oct 2016 or 2017 at this point. But at least I've got the TR to work on to keep me in the Disney spirit.

Enjoy the countdown. Catch you at the other end! Safe travels.

I hope you are having a wonderful time!!!

I did!

I just stopped by to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks, hope your's was wonderful too.

Well, we are way past the Disney day now. I hope you hop over to the TR and comment more often. I have a pretty fun bunch that follow my TRs and I promise no one bites. I always love hearing what other people think even if you don't like what I post.

Hi Ariana, long time no post! I hope all is well with you and you had a fantastic trip!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Hi Alexis! Thanks for stopping in to say hi. I'm finally back.
