This time we did it right! (Updated 3/2!)

Oh my gosh. I love this trip report. It's been a crappy night and you cheer me up instantly. You are so hysterical.

Wait!!!! Wait a minute Arizona girl now, right? Oh crap. The irony. The reason my night was bad was because your stinky little SUNS ran around my RAPS tonight. Arrrrgh! They were so hot that Nash didn't even need to perform. I love Barbosa. Love him. Shhh don't tell anyone. :rotfl: Especially don't tell my truest love, Mr. Baron "I only have eyes and hops for lisaviolet" Davis.

I'm glad you're enjoying my report!

I'm sorry about my Suns! I'll keep your love for Barbosa a secret. I won't tell anyone except all the people reading my TR!

Those are great pics, I love how you posed them! Your Minnie came out so good! How nice of that lady to give you her FP :goodvibes

Thanks!

That lady was SO nice! I love my Dream FP. It's hanging on my desk. I look at it every day!

Great installments. I loved that you got a dream fastpass (no matter how you got it). I loved the Minnie Mouse drawiings (I agree with Jordan, when did Minnie get a pig nose :confused3 ?) The posed pictures were hilarious.

Your installments always make me smile. I can't wait to hear about the "very stinky dinner".

Yeah, Jason's Minnie was crazy. Good thing he's a family practice doc and not a plastic surgeon...his patients might end up with strange features!

I'm so happy to put a smile on someone's face! Oh, the stinky dinner was nuts!


Great updates!!! I fell a little behind but I'm all caught up now and loving it, as usual. Wow, it really did POUR at MGM! I'm glad it let up a little for Epcot. How cool that you got a Dream, even if it wasn't directly from Disney. It doesn't matter, a dream's a dream, right?!

I love all of the interpretive pictures :lmao:

Oh, that rain...don't even get me started.

It did let up for Epcot, though, which definitely helped us enjoy another night at the food and wine festival.

And you're right...a dream is a dream, no matter the source!

we recieved Dream lanyards and pin set at Epcot when we were there in September. We do not pin trade but I made my husband get one anyways so we could take them back to my niece and newphew for when they would get to come to DW they would have something fun to do (and I told their mom to buy pins off ebay and it would be a lot cheaper!!)
That same day we went to the MK about 3pm...a couple who was leaving asked us if we just got there...we did. She gave us their dream fastpasses for that day...they never needed them since everything was pretty much walk on so they gave them to us. Well we never needed them either...so we brought them home for our niece and newphew to play with (who wouldn't love to pretend play passing everybody on the rides at MK and going to the front of the line??

You are so lucky! 2 dreams! I am going with you next time!
 
New to the DIS Boards. Just found your trip report. I hate to say it but I really pity your DH for missing out on all the fun you had. I know I'd be steaming if my fiancee went to the World without me. Blaize is so adorable. I'm so glad to see someone with so much passion for the World. My fiancee, like yourself (if I understood correctly) works with special needs children too (she's a music therapist). I can't wait for the next installment.
 
great report. I just found it tonight. I will admit i only read your posts but will read everything from here on out.
Love the pics. It really was a rainy trip for you.
 

Hi Julie! Great updates! :thumbsup2 Congrats on going over 200 posts! Can't wait for more... popcorn::

I do work with special needs children. I love it!!! My soon to be sister in law is just finishing her music therapy degree. I am jealous of the music therapists right now cuz they're all doing Christmas music!

Yeah, my DH missed out for sure. I missed him so much too! It's hard to be there without him because I want to share everything with him when I'm there!

great report. I just found it tonight. I will admit i only read your posts but will read everything from here on out.

Thanks for reading! :goodvibes

You're right...it was really rainy! It only got to me a couple times, though. It's Disney World, so it's hard to not have fun!

Hi Julie! Great updates! :thumbsup2 Congrats on going over 200 posts! Can't wait for more... popcorn::

Thanks for the congrats! I didn't even realize I was over 200!
 
My DH is definitely in for our next trip to Disney World!!! :yay:

I'm planning a Thanksgiving trip for 2008 with my family. I've been hoping and wishing that DH would come with us. And the other day, out of the blue, my DH was talking about his vacation time for next year and he said "After our Greece trip and the Thanksgiving trip, I'll have 10 PTO days left."

I said, with hope "What Thanksgiving trip is that?" And he said "Disney World, duh!" And I said "How many days are you planning to take for Disney?!" And he said "3...Monday Tuesday, and Wednesday. I get Thurs and Fri off already."

And I said ":banana: :yay: :cool1: :woohoo: " cuz that means he is definitely coming to Disney World and we are staying 6 nights!!!!!!!!! This will be my longest stay ever!

I'm so excited!

DH is very excited to try Boma after I told him all about it. And he is excited about Expedition Everest and Soarin', two rides he has not been on (cuz they weren't there last time he was there!)

I can't wait for next Thanksgiving!

Great news!!!!!!!!

So PTR starts......?

Lots of research to be done since you're going over what's probably a very busy holiday. Nothing wrong with a "little" research.:rolleyes1 :rolleyes1
 
Great news about hubby joining for your Thanksgiving trip!:thumbsup2 You'll have to make sure he has a fantastic time - do everything he wants to do - maybe you'll convert him! :laughing: Where are you going to stay??
 
That crazy troll tried to steal the baby!

P1020894.jpg

:lmao: that's classic!

just wanted to mark my place in your TR! i just finished your first day ......good stuff so far!

cool about getting to see the village people. about don't you hate it when CMs don't have the i-work-at-disney-therefore-i-will-help-you-no-matter-what attitude????
 
Just joining in.....a little late! What a fun trip with friends. The baby is too cute.... AKL looks divine! Maybe someday!

I'm hoping to keep my planning/obsessing at bay until after we go to Greece in June. That will still give me 5 good months of research. I have a feeling I won't last that long, but I'm going to try!

You are so right about doing everything DH wants to do! That's exactly what I plan on doing! :thumbsup2 Of course, that means no Beauty and the Beast. :sad2:

We're staying at POP. My mom wants to stay at a value resort. It'll be hard to resist the draw of AKL, but it will save us lots of money for souvenirs and Christmas presents!

:lmao: that's classic!

It's funny, I just got an email from Disney with a survey about my trip. In the survey, there was a question that asked if I received my voucher for a free photopass video upon check-in. So it does exist!

AKL was the best! You should definitely try it someday!

Oh my goodness. Thanks for reminding me Punkin. It still makes me squeal with laughter the second time around. OP, so flippin' funny. I think you should do standup on the side. One of the funniest things I have ever read/seen on the DIS. Thanks OP. Great trip report.
 
So excited for you that your DH will come to the world with you! It will be so much fun with him to share things with! :love:
 
After Club Cool, it was time to head over to World Showcase. We decided to take the boat over to the other side of the lagoon, something none of us had done before.

It just so happened that the boat was right there waiting for us! We jumped on the boat and Beth took the wheel:

PA290073.jpg


When she realized the boat wasn’t going anywhere, we found some seats.

P1030086.jpg


PA290074.jpg


The boat ride was very nice and relaxing…something I will be incorporating into many more of my Epcot visits!

We got off the boat in America, I think and headed over to Morocco. I love Morocco. It’s one of my favorite countries in WS. Of course, I think that about every country!

While we waited a few minutes for our reservation time, we looked around the shops in Morocco.

PA290089.jpg


Then it was time for Restaurant Marrakesh!

PA290090.jpg


My favorite counter service at WS is Tangierine Café (is that what it’s called), so I had high hopes for Marrakesh.

Every single one of us was starving. And you know, when you’re starving, EVERYTHING on the menu looks delicious! It took us a long time to decide on our choices, but in the end, Beth and I decided to share A Night in Something (I can’t remember the name), Sarah got the same, and Jason had a few appetizers.

I ordered a Sprite.

PA290094.jpg


Jason and Sarah got some mint tea. It was so cool how it was served. And it was delicious.

PA290093.jpg


PA290097.jpg


We had some delicious bread.

PA290096.jpg


The belly dancer came out and did a little shaking of the belly and the booty.

PA290104.jpg


And then it happened…

A couple came in and was seated at a table pretty close to our table. One or both halves of that couple was the stinkiest person I have smelled in a very long time. I’m truly sorry if I offend anyone here by talking about this, but it was out of control. I mean, I know that I probably didn’t smell like a rose after walking around ALL day in the rain. But this person’s B.O. was so bad that I eventually lost my appetite! I LOVE food and for me to lose my appetite, you know something has got to be seriously wrong.

P1030092.jpg


We got our food and dug in. The lamb that we had was absolutely wonderful.

Then I started to get a headache. Toward the end of the meal, I went to wait outside for Beth, Jason, and Sarah. I was chatting with Gordon (DH) on the phone, telling him about our day, when Beth called and said that the server had seen Beth’s birthday button and had brought a dessert. Oh, and the stinkers had left their table. On my way back to the table, I passed the stinker(s) on their way out and held my breath.

That dessert was the BEST dessert ever! I don’t know what it was called, but here’s a picture of it:

P1030095.jpg


It was so, so, so, so good.
We devoured it. There really was nothing left on the plate when we were finished. And it was a huge dessert. Yum, yum, yum! The stinkers were worth it, if only to have that dessert.

Oh, Jason finished what was left on Beth’s and my plate and this was what was left (if you’re a vegetarian, skip the following picture and paragraph):

PA290105.jpg


We had a great time examining the anatomy of that bone, me being a physical therapist, Beth being a nurse, and Jason being a doctor. I know, it’s weird, but I guess that’s what happens when you get a bunch of medical professionals together! Or maybe it’s just us…

In the end, the stinky meal was saved by our scrumptious dessert.

We looked in some of the shops and made some purchases. I bought some cologne in Norway for my brother. It’s that Geir cologne. He got some of it last time he went to Disney and he loved it. So he has a good Christmas present waiting for him!

I bought some popcorn, which was delicious. If only I could have some of that popcorn right now…
Ever since I got back from Disney World, I have been eating microwave popcorn out of my Epcot popcorn bucket when I watch movies. DH made a comment the first time, but he’s used to it now!

We watched Illuminations.

P1030101.jpg


Then we headed back to AKL for some more night viewing!

Again, we had the night vision scope and the animal keeper all to ourselves. I don’t know why more people don’t participate in this awesome activity. This night, the animal keeper seemed to be much more knowledgeable. That means we asked him about 14,000 questions. I learned so much between our two night viewing experiences. It made me wish I had gone with my very first career aspiration…being a veterinarian. But then I remembered that I love to help humans, and I felt better!

After night viewing, we hung out around the fire pit in our back yard, then headed back up to the room. Tomorrow would be Blizzard Beach (Yay!) and the event I had been waiting for all my life…Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party!
 
Great update! I was cracking up during the "stinky dinner" story :lmao: I know it wasn't funny at the time, but it must be a funny memory to look back on. Of all the tables in all the restaurants, they had to be seated next to yours :rotfl:

Keep the updates coming, your report's one of my favorites!
 
great update. I don't know why they don't ask people to go back to the hotel and shower before entering a place with food. It should be Disney law.
 
I wonder if people know they stink?

Again, crazy pix.....

You guys take crazier pix than I do...and that's saying something. :thumbsup2
