Timandlesley's The Sum of Our Thrills TR w/ tons of pics&video 9/27 PTR link pg.58

It was a great ride, and BETTER YET, they let us stay on for ride number two, now THAT put a smile on my boys face:

After we were done riding I had told Tim to meet us there so we could go and meet Minnie and Mickey on our final day to get some photopass pics, so we headed there together:
103_7302800x600.jpg

The line was pretty long, we waited though knowing it was our last chance to do it. The kids were thrilled, it was the first/only time this trip they saw Minnie and Mickey:

That picture of luke with Minnie makes me tear up. It seems like only yesterday on our first trip to Disney when Luke was 2, he ran up to her and hugged her and came running back to me and said “MOMMY SHE IS SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!” I will never forget that!

Remember a few days back we had gotten Fast Passes for all of the mountains, well we decided today we would try to use them all. On our way we passed by the Step Sisters, OMG I couldn’t believe it, the Step Mother was a DUDE, check it out:
103_7312800x600.jpg

I don’t know if you can see it in the picture but in person it was OBVIOUS, and the voice to match. Too funny.
We were able to use the previous days Fast Pass no problem and got in the line quickly.

Bryan and Diane were on the ride at this point so we decided to hang in the arcade for a bit while we waited:

Before we knew it, we were back with our friends again:

We decided it was time to eat and the group voted, and Pecos Bills it was, so we headed that way:
As always, I LOVE these pics:

Lauren is always singing, dancing and strutting as she walks : )

After a yummy lunch it was time to try and use the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Fast Passes from a few days back:

How can you not LOVE this ride:
103_7354800x600.jpg

Here is our ride photo, it was great because we had our own log to ourselves:

We were ready to call it a day at Magic Kingdom but I couldn’t leave the Magic Kingdom without one last Dole Whip float for the trip, so we headed to Aloha Isle:
103_7359800x600.jpg

Happy girl:

After I inhaled my treat we headed towards the gates. Luke was SO excited to see the Main Street Fireman, so he rushed over to meet him:
103_7361800x600.jpg

He was given a special sticker:
103_7362800x600.jpg

We had a WONDERFUL morning at the Magic Kingdom and rode everything we wanted to ride and experienced some new things and old favorites so we were happy as we made the hot trek to the bus stop:
103_7363800x600.jpg

MADE IT

Had fun playing human limbo at the bus stop:

I sat by Lauren on the way back:
103_7367800x600.jpg

As usual, Luke and Matthew stole our Iphones and had fun playing games on the bus:
103_7369800x600.jpg

We got back and couldn’t get into our swim suits fast enough for a nice afternoon in the pool:
103_7370800x600.jpg

We had a great time swimming and then we enjoyed the free crafts they had by the pool too. Each kid had fun doing spin art:

Then it was time to head up to the room to shower and get ready for dinner. I was sad it was our last night in Disney but happy and content knowing that we had a fun night ahead of us and many many more Disney trips to come in our future.

Great update!! That was great that you got to use fastpasses on a different day. I did not think they allowed that. Maybe because of summer crowds??

Dole Whip-Yumm!!!

That was too bad about the girls getting chosen to open Toontown & not the boys:confused3. They have so much for girls as it is. Glad you had 2 rides on Barnstormer.:thumbsup2
 
Awesome updates!! I actually had to read 3 of them to catch up!! lol
 

I totally agree with you about the boy thing!!! Poor Luke! But, I'm glad the 2 rides in a row on Barnstormer helped. :goodvibes

I love your story about him and Minnie when he was little! How adorable!!! I'm sure in many ways that moment feels like just yesterday.

And I have to ask, what all does your shirt say? I see "Respect your Mother, Honor your Mother" etc. Where did you get it? I like! :thumbsup2
 
Sounds like a great morning

Bummer on the princesses opening up Toon Town. I am so tired of girls getting everything

But glad he got to ride Barnstormers twice...that was cool at least :thumbsup2


Their spin art came out nice at the pool :goodvibes


Forgot. I could totally see the Step mother was a dude ...that is freaky

Hi tim and Lesley, I am way back in this trip report, I just read the part where Luke offered the boy any pin off of his lanyard for the pin that Lauren wanted. That was the sweetest thing ever and coming from such a young boy, he clearly loves his sister and is a true gentleman.

Lauren is a cute little girl and so full of life. I can't wait to have kids and take them to disney world.
 
Another GREAT update! our trip is nov 3-9
and we scored FREE dinning, long story but
got some pixie dust!! WOOHOO!!!:)
 
Another great day! I think your TR has convinced me that I must try a Dole Whip
 
All caught up! I loved little miss Kimodo! so Cute! :cutie: You got some fun character interaction at Epcot. I loved your laid back day to do whatever - we have to build more of those in. I didn't know they would honor FP from a previous day! Too Cool! I hope I can get DH to go along with that - he's a stickler for THE RULES~ :lmao: I can't believe you are already on your last park day :sad2:
 
What a great Magic Kingdom morning. I have never tried to use FP that were from a previous day. I am glad you got to ride all the mountains on your last day. That is great.
 
Less than a month until I'll be sipping on a Dole whip, I just can't wait, I love those things! Yours looked very yummy!

Terri
 
mmmmmmDole Whip!!!

Have you worked the expired fast passes that way before? Crazy, I have actually thrown them away at the end of the night thinking they would be no good. :confused3
 
Sounds like you had a great MK day! Didn't realize you could use old FPs-will keep that in mind in the future. My husband and I are going on a spur of the moment trip in November. We are staying at SSR for the first time! We will be there the 11-15th. Can't wait! Looking forward to reading about the rest of your trip. :)
 
Phew! All caught up!

Sounds like an awesome time in NY. If there is a place in this world that has more to do than Disney, it is NY. I never feel I have enough time there!:laughing:

What a great idea to send the kids to the Kids Club and enjoy a nice meal at Jiko with Diane and Bryan.;) I agree with you...it is one of the best places on property. (Although California Grill is still my favourite.)

Funny that Goofy wasn't out to ride when you were there....he wasn't out in May when we were there either.:confused3 Poor Luke...I bet he wld have been picked for sure with that hat!

So sad to hear your trip is coming to an end...can't wait to hear about your last evening meal. And as you say, there are plenty more Disney trips in your future!:goodvibes
