Two Castles and a Polynesian Dream (A Wedding & a Disneymoon) Update*Mr & Mrs*

[hollisterluva92]

Oh a fellow Mac newbie AND a True Blood Fan?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I think we have a winner! I have had a macbook for exactly one year now, but I had it replaced three weeks ago, so technically I've had it for three weeks It was a little tricky to get used to at first, but once you get going it's great! So I have to ask, who is your favorite character on True Blood? I'm partial to Bill and Jason!

I am loving everything about it so far, also bought one to one lessons so that I can go even further and get to know how to use pretty much everything on the machine

I like Eric, Pam and Jessica. No spoilers for last nights ep please as we won't be seeing it til tonight

I didn't get lessons but I did go to my best friend's house! Her dad works for Apple so he helped me learn the ropes! I also like Eric, Pam, and Jessica! I just saw the episode yesterday, but I have to watch it on TV Duck because I don't have hbo It's $17 a month here, and is just not worth it for one show when I can watch it for free!

Jessica all the way!

Nice to know I have fans who like the same people I do!

Hey guys

Sorry for the lack of update, tried to do one last night but am having trouble with Photobucket in that the bulk uploader doesn't work on Chrome properly and being a Mac user now I have to use Chrome (as it has built in Flash). Does anyone know any Mac friendly sites where I can upload my piccies?

TIA

Thanks, is there a simpler way to get the URL for the photos? With PB all you had to do was copy and paste.

Hey Guys

Finally sorted out the upload problem, using ImageShack now. So lets get on with...

Day 6 - Wednesday September 21st
Today is our first...

...Epcot Day. Its AM EMH so we will hopefully make rope drop and join the masses...

...to get a FP for...

...Soarin' We'll most prob hop in line for a ride as well. Then its on to...

Nemo to hitch a ride on a clamshell. After saying hi to Nemo and the gang, we'll go say hello to some of their other friends in the aquarium.

Then we'll head over to...

Test Track for a ride and grab a FP too. After TT we'll head on over to...

Dave really enjoyed hanging out here last year so we'll play here and then hit the shops at...

Hopefully WS will be open by then, so off we'll go country hopping starting in...

Canada to grab a Moosehead Beer for Dave, then

Possibly stopping off for one of these babies

By then it should be time for our lunch ressie at...

Via Napoli. Looking forward to eating here as we skipped lunch last year.

After lunch we'll carry on our tour of the world. Going back to

Then

Japan to go pick me a

I don't have a photo for Norway for some reason or Germany, but we will go to those as I want to check out the caramel shop.

We'll end our tour in

Mexico, must must check out Cava del Tequila to try the Passionfruit Margarita.

Then it will be back to the resort for a mini siesta. Dinner was supposed to be at Teppan with Sophia, Joe and their friend Jenn and her family. But we had to change our plans later on in the week and shift an ADR to todays date. So dinner tonight will be at...

We are both looking forward to eating here, another first, after hearing great reviews and we finally get to check out the WL.

Thats it for Day 6, stay tuned for Day 7

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Finally got caught up! Great plans you have going!

I think you will like Artist Point. We ate there last year on our anniversary.

 

[Stefy]

Hey stranger Thanks, is a shame we will miss you on your Epcot day, our AK day. But we still have plenty of other days

Dave is v excited about Artist Point

 

[Stefy]

Day 7 - Thursday September 22nd
Today is a...

Hollywood Studios Day. Very much looking forward to our day here because as of last year I really started to enjoy the park.

We're aiming to make rope drop so we can grab FP's for...

I think we'll also hop on for a ride too, get some practice in for later.

Sophia and Joe will be at the park today and we are hoping to spend most of the day with them. Not sure if they are going to make rope drop or if they have a breakfast reservation.

After TSM we will most likely grab a latte and some pastries from Starring Rolls. Once breakfast is done we'll head on over to see what characters are out, possibly try out an Animation Class and get some more character photos. By then it will be time to get another FP, will most prob grab one for...

Then depending if we're with J&S or not we'll go on ToT. So can't wait to ride this in September, I enjoyed it so much I had a massive grin on my face the whole time. Dave on the other hand isn't so much a fan, but I feel like he should at least give it one more chance, don't you?

After ToT I guess we'll head to the other side of the park. This year we want to grab a photo with Mater and Lightning, we also want to see...

as well as the Backlot Tour.

So glad that this is open when are there, as it was closed last year

I think we pretty much want to spend most of the day here doing as much as we can.

Dinner will be with J&S at...

As we have a Fantasmic Package! Ladies and Gentlemen we are defo going to be seeing Fantasmic this year (fingers crossed, touch wood).

and that sums up our day at DHS, very excited for it. Stay tuned for Day 9 a

Great plans Stefy! We are also hoping to spend a bit of time in Innoventions - it sounds like fun!

I can't wait to explore WS and see all the countries -yay on picking a pearl. Hopefully you'll get a really good pick

Hope you guys enjoy AP - the menu looks great!

Lol at joining the TSMM madness - hope you get to ride it a few times. Need to get some practice in myself as Zaheer is usually better at these sort of attractions.

One Man's Dream seems like soo much fun - can't wait to spend some time there as well. Fingers crossed you guys get to watch F! this time. It's on most nights so crowd levels shouldn't be that bad - hopefully!

Btw have been meaning to ask where did you read the change of EMHs at AK and Epcot - have been checking the websites and didn't notice the change

Thanks Yes the daily shows of Fantasmic should help with crowd levels. Last year DHS was constantly rammed, was not fun

Can't wait to see OMD, never done it before and love anything historical about Disney

Dave told me about the changes, think he saw a site on the Theme Park boards about it. The dates we are there, there were no major changes except for our Epcot and AKL day, originally they were supposed to be the other way around.

They should do - wow that doesn't sound like fun at all

Can't wait to see OMD, never done it before and love anything historical about Disney

Having read reviews of this place it sounds like a great place to look around and learn some historical information about Disney

Dave told me about the changes, think he saw a site on the Theme Park boards about it. The dates we are there, there were no major changes except for our Epcot and AKL day, originally they were supposed to be the other way around.

Cool - that's good to know Don't know why it is not updated on the other sites. Will have a look at our plans and see what effect this has - as we are not morning people anyway may just leave things as they are

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Jessica all the way!

Jessica is the best!!

Thanks, is there a simpler way to get the URL for the photos? With PB all you had to do was copy and paste.

Yes also copy and paste. It's hard getting used to that with a mac that doesn't have a "right click" but what I do to copy is hit apple+c and then to paste hit apple+v. You'll get used to it. Oh and to "right click," you just hit control and click and you'll get the drop-down like you normally do with a "right click."

So to find the URL on shutterfly, you "right click" the photo (by pressing control+click), and drop down to "copy image location." Then paste it on the DIS like you normally would by either pressing apple+v OR getting the drop-down menu by pressing control-click.

Hope that all wasn't too confusing!! Like I said, you'll get used to it!

BTW, got a little package in the mail yesterday!!!

I checked them on Disneys site and the changes are on there. I did a spreadsheet of the old hours when they originally came out and used that to compare. Like I say there really wasn't anything major on there to worry about

Thanks for that Mac's do have a right-click, just gotta turn it on in the system preferences on the trackpad

I have downloaded Firefox and using Photobucket with that now, seems to be working ok

Ah that's great, wondered how long it would take to get to you. Hope you like it, is just a little something

 

[KatMark]

Stefy, your plans sound great for Day 7 and 8. And how great you are having dinner with J&S again.

 

[Disneymoon23]

Your plans for epcot and dhs sound wonderful! I'm really excited that fantasmic is every night because I've never seen it. You need to send some of your courage my way because the tower of terror freaks me out.

Thanks We are looking forward to finally seeing Fantasmic, we came very close on our first trip, but it was cancelled due to the rain and storm headed our way.

Have you been on ToT? Its so much fun

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Hiya!

Love your plans. Yes we will be at DHS that day too. Dave and I can do some shopping while you and Joe go on Tot!

I'm not sure if we will make rope drop (it is the plan though) and how funny is it that we're eating breakfast at Starring Rolls too?
