Trip #8; But Was It Great? A WDW MAYcation with a side of LegoLand & Celebration, FL!

[T*Bird]

Hey Lisa!!

Nope, they weren't ready to go home that morning. None of us ever are!!

I forgot about the Lego dude!! I think he looks like Elvis!!

Oh for Pete's sake! I was going to say Elvis, but I didn't get a chance to post yesterday! (Yeah, sure ) I also thought maybe Elvis was too far in the past for you - not that you don't know who he is, of course, but I thought it would be someone more recent. One of my other guesses was Michael Jackson, because of the dark glasses.


I still think it's though!

Those early morning pics are beautiful! Everything looks so still and peaceful - what a rare thing that is in Disney! You can just imagine the change in just a couple of hours.

I'm so sad that your TR is over. It's the first thing I look for when I get on the Disboards. Whose TR will I have to follow now? OK, all kiddng aside, I'm really going to miss all your stories and great pics, and also the posts from your readers (several which had me Wonder who that could be? )

I can't wait to see all your souvenirs!

It's over?? You mean really and truly it's over?

The boys faces in the first picture are how I feel about it.

I love Disney in the early early morning hours. When it's still and quiet and there's only a couple of people about. I do not like Disney in the early morning hours when I am getting ready to have my butt on a plane going back home however. What a sad state of affairs.

Your pics from the balcony are beautiful. I bet you hated to leave that moment behind.

*sigh*
Another May, another trip far behind you.

Onward and upward I say!!

"Oh you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why....Santa Claus is coming to town."




P.S....
I'll see you in 93 days!!!

I'm sure you'll find SOMEone's TR to follow.




And I know--- right?? Some of these posters in Shelly's thread had me in stitches!! Sometimes I just wonder where they come up with the stuff they do.

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

I didn't even think about him looking like Elvis because I thought he looked like old man from Up. Now that you said it though, he does look like Elvis.

The old man from Up!!

I think you really need to see this Lego dude in person to see Elvis!! As soon as DS brought out his Soarin invention I said -- hey, how come Elvis us riding Soarin with Jodi and I?!!

Oh for Pete's sake! I was going to say Elvis, but I didn't get a chance to post yesterday!

Sure you were!!

Michael Jackson is a possibility.


It was a rare site to see the BC so still and quiet and I loved it!! Too bad it was the morning we had to leave.

I'm so glad my readers and I have entertained you!! We've enjoyed your company as well. Boy IDK whose TR you are going to read now.....

It's over girl!! And you know what? It seems like this trip was so dang long ago, even though it really wasn't. Weird.

I know, the boys faces say it all. So sad.

It was a nice morning to enjoy my sticky balcony. Too bad we had to leave. Hope they cleaned that thing for thge next person!



93 DAYS!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure you'll find SOMEone's TR to follow.

You ladies are so bad...

 

[Lovemy3babes]

I'm glad you enjoyed the TR Kelli!! Will you be doing one this time??

The new ME bus was super nice. We felt so special!! Our flight home was at 10am. The bus usually comes about 2 1/2 to 3 hours before your flight. I don't remember the exact time on this one, but I do remember it pulled in right on time. IDK how they are always so punctual with having to stop at other resorts!!

Thanks for the ME info. Our flight leaves at 7:55am. Yawn!

I hope to write a TR. I'm not very gifted that way but I'll sure try.

 

[Dancegrl624]

So sad to see your TR come to an end. I always enjoy reading them! At least you have another trip right around the corner.

Love the early morning pictures....one of my favorite times of day at WDW. Everyone is still asleep, it's peaceful....something you don't usually get to see.

I love the new ME buses!!! The blue interior is nice and they added seat belts. I noticed the seat belts on my weekend trip when I looked and saw all the kids wearing them.

 

[monica23535]

It's over? No, say it isn't so!

I have enjoyed reading about this trip Shelly, it has been awesome, well except for the Snotty Cow at Legoland lol

Looking forward to reading about your next adventure in 93 days!!

 

[ddluvsdisney]

Shelly~ so sad your TR is over. It looked really early in the morning what time did you have to leave? The only thing I don't like about ME is how much earlier you have to leave for the airport. We usually have a car take us back b/c DH won't get to the airport that early.

Well I went into HR today and I'm the new grade 2 teacher!!!! So excited!

yuck...I hate when those TRs come to an end!! And I feel sick my last 2 days every trip...I can hardly enjoy it for knowing the end is near! LOL!!! Can't wait to check out the new buses!!!! I get to look in 64 days!!!!!!

 

[lala3291]

Aww, it's over?! But, I'm not ready for it to be over yet!

Oh well, I guess all good things have to come to an end, right?

Thank you so much, as always for sharing your TR with us! I have loved every minute of it!

 

[ronnmel]

Well, Welcome!!

Sounds like you are off to a good start!! Well except for the part about us both being grumpy!!

Hope you enjoy the rest!

Found the time to read the rest of your TR. Great read, but sorry I didn't write down any of my comments. I love what your DS10 did with his lego of you and Jodi. So awesome, that he knows you and Disney that well, and can translate it through Legos!

 

[EastYorkDisneyFan]

No!!! This can't be over. I'm sad. I love how you update so often and so well Shelly. I love your TRs!

The ME bus looks nice! Did you have a really early flight? Does ME pick you up two or three hours before the flight home?

I'm glad you enjoyed the TR Kelli!! Will you be doing one this time??

The new ME bus was super nice. We felt so special!! Our flight home was at 10am. The bus usually comes about 2 1/2 to 3 hours before your flight. I don't remember the exact time on this one, but I do remember it pulled in right on time. IDK how they are always so punctual with having to stop at other resorts!!

leaving 3 hours before a flight is nothing, intenatioanl guest and Cnadains get picked up 4 hours before thier flights. So if you have the first flight of the day for your airline at MCO your in for a two hour wait at the airport just for the arline staff to open the counters.

 

[Mndisneygirl]

"that's it." ?????

TR over???



Where's the link to the PTR for your BIG Christmas adventure with Jodi? And yes, you should call it something like that!

As usual - a great TR - with wonderful pictures and stories. I really appreciate your giving your honest opinions of things - good, bad or otherwise, and the prices for your meals with ratings! I know everyone doesn't have the same tastes, but it's nice to hear about other opinions and experiences.
Thank you!


I hope school goes well for your boys this year - so far we're doing well with the switch to middle school for Sarah. I think it's a little rough for her because she's small and now her grade is youngest (it goes 6-8th). So she's fighting her way through the halls with all these "big" kids! But she seems to like it. Paige loves her teacher and in 4th grade that's the biggest thing. I just hope they can keep her from getting bored - right now nothing is very challenging. I'm sure that will change!
Have a great weekend!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Happy 3 Months Jodi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

I hope to write a TR. I'm not very gifted that way but I'll sure try.

You will likely get picked up around 5am!!

Your last TR was awesome -- infact I think that's where we met.

So sad to see your TR come to an end. I always enjoy reading them! At least you have another trip right around the corner.

Glad you have enjoyed the TR! Yes, WDW is so quiet and peaceful in the early mornings. I really should get up super early some morning during the trip and go for a walk and enjoy it. And take pics of course!

I know, those new buses are really nice. We didn't have one on the way to WDW, so it was a nice surprise on the way back.

It's over? No, say it isn't so!

Yep - it's over.

I had almost forgotten about that snotty cow!!

Glad you enjoyed the TR!

I think we left the BC around 7am or so. Our flight was at 10:00.

Congrats -- I was hoping that was the position you would get!!

yuck...I hate when those TRs come to an end!! And I feel sick my last 2 days every trip...I can hardly enjoy it for knowing the end is near! LOL!!! Can't wait to check out the new buses!!!! I get to look in 64 days!!!!!!

I know, it is really hard to enjoy the last few days of vacation with the thought of it being over looming over your head.

Your trip is getting so close!!!

Aww, it's over?! But, I'm not ready for it to be over yet!

Oh well, I guess all good things have to come to an end, right?

Thank you so much, as always for sharing your TR with us! I have loved every minute of it!

That's right -- all good things must come to an end I guess. I just hate when it's a WDW trip!!

I'm glad you loved the TR, thanks for reading!!

Glad you got all caught up!! Hope you enjoyed. I'll have to tell DS10 he has another fan of his Lego creations!

Good grief!!

Yep - that's it. I'm all out of stories and pics!

That is an awesome PTR title!! I will have to keep that in mind.

So glad you've enjoyed the TR and pictures and dining reviews.

I'm glad the girls are doing well so far. My boys are too. I know it's hard to get used to navigating a new school, especially middle school. I hope Sarah does well!

 

[TinkyCheeks]

Aww, I'm so bummed this is over. Such a great TR!

 

[Lil'Mermaid75]

Just can't believe it's over! At least we'll have another one soon! I just love reading you TRs.
