Trip Number 9 ~ It's the Most Wonderful Time of Year ~ Christmastime at the GF & Poly

Great update Shelly!


Epcot is our favorite park and we can't wait to try out the new Test Track on our next trip.
 
Hi Shelly.:) I just love the picture of the boys with their light up glasses on. It reminds me of my sons. :) Congrats on the new job.:thumbsup2 It sounds like it would be so much fun. I'm not on Facebook, so you will have to keep us up to date on specials coming up at Disney! Its nice to have someone on the inside.;)
 
Touring plans is reporting that Splash is open this morning after the rehab and is looking beautiful, all the animatronics are running and working!!:cool1:

I got so excited I went to D-Cot to listen to the song.


Wish I was there.pixiedust:
 
We always see kids with those string things during the parade, and then we almost always see them returning/exchanging them because they don't work! I wonder why they even still sell them with all the ones I see them exchanging out. :confused3

Okay, the back to back posing pictures are too adorable! :goodvibes

I can't really get myself too excited about the new Test Track. I guess I will reserve judgment until I ride it though. Too bad your Epcot morning plan didn't work out with Soarin'! I probably would have thought the same as you, everyone would be flocking to TT instead of Soarin'.
 

I am happy Thanks to Shelly ;)

:banana:

That is so awesome she was able to help you!!!!!!:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

I can't wait to hear how you like it there. Did you request Fiji? I remember you saying you were thinking of it. I think you'll like it there. I know you use a scooter at WDW and going into the GCH-- the ramp is right there on the Fiji side of the building to go into it. Probably takes two minutes tops from leaving your room to being inside the GCH from Fiji.

Excited for you.:cool1:

Hey Shelly! :wave2: I finally updated my TR!

I'm kind of bummed about Test Track. I liked it the way it was before. It looks pretty "techy" now if that makes sense? We missed out in October as it was still down then.

I cannot believe the Soarin' FP were out that far. Yikes! :scared: How would you handle that next time?

Mouse Gears is one of the best shops I think!! :thumbsup2
 
Oh my!

Okay first of all, walking to the TTC to catch the monorail is worth the Poly price times a billion. It's so convenient!!:thumbsup2

And I'm with you-- arriving to Epcot that way is so wonderful- you get to survey the park and check out the crowds; of course this time for y'all it was before RD so not much happening. But it's my fave. I read somewhere, and IDK where so I don't know if it's true or not, but when they placed the monorails on the track when it first opened, they put them in wrong or something and it was supposed to be when you LEFT the monorail station that you did the grand circle tour of the park. They didn't change it and left it alone. Not sure why it would have been that way--- I like it the way it is. Anyway, might be a rumor or a tall tale anyhow.:confused3

That morning was dang cool and rainy and nasty.:crazy2: And crowds--- good night! I thought it was just bad on us bc we had gotten there late, but my goodness- the FP return time for Soarin.:worried: As you already know, we never rode it.:sad:
I am going to go off of your experience this trip for ours in August-- go to Soarin first still!!:thumbsup2 Thanks for being the guinea pig for us all.:rotfl2:

My thoughts on TT-- the first time we rode it, I really really liked it. Thought it was fun and I liked the design your car part. You have to stand in line, might as well do something fun.:rotfl: I also got to ride it with my ILs who had never ever been on TT at all, so they really were thrilled with it-- thought it was a blast, so watching their reaction really kind of swayed my initial feelings.

The second time we rode, we did FP, and I was able to really look and concentrate on the parts of the ride itself, when you're in the car and on the track. Unfortunately, I didn't like it under careful observation. I won't spoil it bc I know there are some who haven't been on it that are reading- but I just feel like it's... cheap or something? It's just "oh look, more neon lights". I feel like they just blew their chance at re-doing a ride that was already really nice- that they could have improved it. As it is, I just wasn't thrilled with it.

So that's my opinion, not that you asked.:laughing:

And I love shopping at Mouse Gear!! We didn't look around in there this time- I swear I feel like I didn't do anything at all on this trip and I know it's bc I was too busy worried the fam was having a good time.:crazy2: Did you buy some stuff in there??

Great update at my favorite park!!!pixiedust:


I know!! It is so awesome to get up and take a stroll from your resort to the TTC and get a monorail directly to Epcot!! :goodvibes Wish it would have been a nice morning, but hey you can't have it all, right?!! :rotfl:

That is interesting about the monorail. I wonder if that's true?? How does the one at DL work? I know it goes into the DL park, right?

I can't believe you didn't get to ride Soarin that day. :sad2:

I remember you saying that you loved the new TT and I was like -- well I didn't!! :laughing: I see your second opinion of it was more like mine. Unfortunately. :confused: Not that I hate it, but just prefer it the way it was.

I don't think I got anything in MouseGears this time. Weird, I usually do. I don't think any of us did. :confused3



Great ticker Sheila!!!!!!:cool1: You will love the Poly!!:goodvibes Hope you were able to get a good deal!:cheer2:

:thumbsup2

Great update Shelly!


Epcot is our favorite park and we can't wait to try out the new Test Track on our next trip.

Thanks Monica! :goodvibes I hope you enjoy the new TT!! :wizard:

Yeah, you would think they would stop selling the things!! They are so junky! :faint:

Thanks, the kids love doing the back-to-back poses. I think they got it from Zack & Cody on the Suite Life! :rotfl:

Yeah, I guess Soarin is always going to be a must do first thing!! It is the best ride ever -- in my opinion!! :cloud9: I hope you like the new TT!


I am happy Thanks to Shelly ;)

:banana:



Thanks Sheila!! :cool1:


Yep, booked my first client yesterday -- Sheila!! I was able to get her a great deal. ::yes:: And I have a few more prospective clients that I think are going to book within the month! :wizard:

Hey Kelly!! :goodvibes I will have to get over to your TR!! :thumbsup2

Yes, TT is very techy. That's a good word for it actually! :rotfl:

Next time we will definitely go back to what we have always done - go to Soarin, ride and grab FP's. Then go to TT. I think TT will still be under a 30 minute wait.

MouseGears is so cool, they have something for everyone!

You are very special!!! :goodvibes

I'm so happy I was able to save you money over booking with Disney or AAA. We sure have some great specials!! ::yes::

I was going to ask you if you could pull it up yet. That's good! Are you able to see all the details or just the basic info? I can only see the basic info on mine. I really don't care for the new WDW website. :confused3
 
The new TT looks fun. We've never been on the old one so I really have nothing to compare it to. Our last trip we got in line for TT but DD was nervous just from hearing the noise so we decided to leave before she had a meltdown. I showed them the pics and they are both excited this trip! I sure hope no one chickens out!
