Turn the Bus Around and Take Us Back to Disney! *COMPLETED*

[sweetpeaandevie]

We are going Oct 1-12, 2014...maybe if you do late Sept into Oct we could do a dismeet!

Hoping for free dining as they usually offer it that week, but if they do they do, if they don't I'll buy less souveniers!!!

Olivia is so stinkin cute with her poses! I have a three year old who does that too...........coming up is the adorable BBB pic, right? Can't wait to see that again!

That's one heck of an update!!!


I have to tell you there isn't a more precious report then someone who went for the first time. it reminds me of ours and i just teared up at all your thoughtful words or "no words" which can describe.
i am so glad you and your family had the best vacation.. your girls of course are beautiful! so glad they enjoyed it all!!! your whole family is just adorable!!!


One thing.. I really do not understand BOG and the procedure?!?

Hi Fellow Texas Girl!

I just got caught up reading your trip report! So much fun! Your family seems like a blast and getting to experience DW with 3 generations is priceless! I'm so glad you had a great trip!

Reading about your fun reminds me of our first family trip 5 years ago when my DD was 4. I'm planning our second trip now for January!

Can't wait to read more!

Great TR!

So, I started reading your updates last night, and finished off this morning.

Again - I have no idea where to start...

I love, love, love seeing all the magnificant sights again for the first time through your eyes...

The girls are just adorable...

And I love how you tell the story.

Your first day in MK was so memorable... I think this is the same day we were in MK - if I have my dates right? And it looks like we just missed eachother several times.

Your planning and research certainly paid off - as you accomplished more in your first day than we did on our first TRIP. LOL

I cannot wait to hear about the rest of your days! I am loving this so far!

D~

Thank you!

Yes that was the day we were at MK at the same time! Shame we didn't get to meet up

I'm glad that people seem to agree that we accomplished a lot because I felt the opposite that night!

Our dates are not set yet but we were thinking the last of sept so it might happen that way!

BBB is still a couple days off but soon! And yea she is quite the poser! You can tell we take a lot of pics!

Thanks! Glad everyone is enjoying it! It is a little sad that we will never have that first time again!

BOG was confusing- but basically they have a lunch website- I listed it in the TR and if you have an all numerical reservation number for your hotel stay it will let you reserve a time and meal so you won't have to wait in line! If you google BOG lunch reservations you can probably find someone on Dis who explains it better! Sorry! It was quite confusing!

Great update! Sounds like a great MK day. We did BoG for dinner and that is one impressive restaurant! Great food and atmosphere. Looking forward to more!

Thanks!

I know I would maybe try dinner there next time! Do you get to meet beast at dinner? Also they only do "The Grey Stuff" at dinner too...

With your encouragement as well as others, I began a pre-trip report. Mainly because I made t-shirts (inspired by you and modeled after some of yours), I wanted to post pictures - once I take the pictures and not "hijack" your lovely trip report, which I am thoroughly enjoying. Well anyway, if interested - here is the link. So far just the introductions are done.

Today the kids, well Maddie, happened to wake up at 6am, before the alarm was set to go off, so I went ahead and hopped up and started getting ready. This caused Olivia to get up, and then eventually Chris.

It didn’t take up long at all in the mornings now to get ready due to my diligence in having everything set out to go the night before. So after about thirty minutes we were set to go!

I did finally remember to set out a Tinkerbell gift this morning…I gotta tell you I forgot about those things so much and then I’d have to scramble to sneak it out of my suitcase, the whole thing just became a pain in the butt. Next time for us, for sure, no Tinkerbell gifts! Not to mention I had gotten all sorts of small toys and things and they just scattered all over the place! Blahhh…

Anyway, so with the extra time we now had I was already set to put it to good use…now we could walk around and take pics with all the cool things at our resort! Yay!

















The dinglehopper!



And the snarfblat!



Then on to the Lion King area!















Then it was onto Landscape of Flavors to toast up our breakfast of pop tarts and bananas! Again we got our coffees and hot chocolate and soon we were ready to catch that bus!





There was NO ONE in the Hollywood Studio’s line! However, the MK line (which had EMH) was FULL and then some! This is when I sent up a big thank you to the people at the Unofficial Disney Guide, and their touring plans! They said the EMH usually attract bigger crowds for the day now and we should avoid them, God Bless, they were right!

By the time our bus came there was only one other family on it with us! HS is fairly close to our resort because it took no time and we were pulling in!!!



Next, The One Where We Get a Lot Done!​

 

[STLMickeyMom]

Love the pictures! Especially the one of the girls in the treasure chest-adorable!

 

[sweetpeaandevie]

I love the pics!!!

I agree!!! You guys did so much. Good thinking to stop in to see the princesses on your way into the park.

I went back and looked at your first day's report again so I could see the pictures better and I'm glad I did. The girls are so cute.

I love the pictures of Olivia meeting the princesses. She is totally checking them out and then seems to be thinking "Yup, I'm hanging out with royalty".

Organizing your stuff the night before was a great idea. I always have this plan but never get it done. I will try to be more like you on our next trip. And then up early enough to take some cute pictures at AoA.

Can't wait to hear about your HS day. I think it is so hard to tour that park and see everything because so many shows have specific start times.

That is my plan as well - I hope I can be as dedicated as you. Great pictures!

 

[DMGeurts]

That is my plan as well - I hope I can be as dedicated as you. Great pictures!

I was so surprised how EASY our mornings were because we prepped the night before. I could let the girls sleep until the last possible moment, because all they had to do was their hair/makeup and eat. It was so nice. I highly recommend this approach.

AWESOME pictures!

looks like a great start to HS! this is my top park! besides MK of course.. Cannot wait to hear how you liked it.
