The Never Ending Wish List
Activity Edition

Luckily this one's shorter than my ADR wish list!
I get to check one major thing off my list right off the bat
Staying at the Poly!

(Not my photo)
She's a real beauty!
Stay at a resort on the monorail, check!


Wishes fireworks cruise
Stay at MK for the kiss goodnight
Keys to the Kingdom tour
Evening carraige ride at POR
Watching Wishes from the beach ( preferably with an adult type beverage)
Taking time to soak it all in as I have a tendency to park 'till I drop!
Checking out the F&W booths, yum!
I'm not sure if we will do MNSSHP again, it was tons of fun though!

Pretty attainable, right? Not sure if we will get to do the wishes cruise but I'd love to surprise DH with it! Does anyone have any experience with it they would like to share? I know it's cha ching $$$ for just two people.

That's all I've got for now ​

I love ALL of the things on your activities Wish List! Though I'm surprised you're going to go all the way out to POR for a carriage ride. I bet it's pretty awesome, though!

Yes you are so right about that point!! I'm not sure if that one is going to happen because of that. I guess we will have to see if we end up renting a car or not, that will make it easier to achieve. I agree it is a long commute to POR just for that so we might be saving that "wish" for some other time although....if the boat is running we could possibly make it to POR from DTD after one of our DTD ADR's . That one's going to be a play it by ear thing I think!

Hi! And ! Thanks for following along! Our trip is such a long ways away still. If you don't mind me asking, which resort did you switch too? We still hope to get to WL someday.

We just picked our usual All Star Movies (for now). It's our 4th trip for the year so the cheaper the better for us! We hope to stay at WL once the construction is done!

Wow! 4th trip for the year! You're SOOO lucky!! ASMovies looks like a really fun resort. We've only ever stayed at AoA and loved it there. I just looked at your tickers more closely, are you having a Disney wedding too or just Disney honeymoon? How exciting!!

I heartly agree with the Wishes from the beach (and even more heartly agree with the adult beverage part )

I like the creeper!

Hi Lauren! Thanks for joining in! Not too late at all! This is going to be a long road!
The Poly I know! I'm beyond excited!

 

[cinderkelly]

Cheerio!

I haven't had much Disney stuff happening at all so I figured I'd do a little real life update or the spiders are going to start taking up residence in the corners of this PTR!

My oldest DD is going to be a senior in High School this year ( I don't know how that could have possibly happened as there is no way I'm that old ) and when my Son graduated in 2011 my parents and I took him to Europe for his graduation gift so it's time to start planning my Daughter's trip and guess where we are going!?!?

I'm really excited! Me, my DD, my DS and my Mom are going for a week in April! London is one of my all time favorite places! Well, besides DW of course!

I tried to talk my mom into going to DLP since it's just a 2 hour train ride away but her answer was " How many times have the kids been to Disney??" Boo! And she's been to London like 23 times......oy that's all I have to say about that. So sadly we won't be visiting DLP this time. My parents are footing the bill for the majority of my DD's trip and half of mine, so sadly she has a major say in what we do on this trip.
We plan on staying in London and doing some day trips to perhaps York and Rye.

But I was doing some research on Harry Potter walking tours of London and came across this for all my fellow HP fanatics!

Just outside of London!
They've got a lot of the original sets and wardrobe from the films like this

Super cool, right? We are totally going and I told my Mom she can just park her happy Buttox at Harrods or at the pub if she doesn't want to go.

So that's my excitement for this week! Kids go back to school next Wednesday and the Disney ticker just keeps on a tickin!

Be well my friends!

That Harry Potter studio tour looks amazing! Also, it proves how detailed the Diagon Alley area at Universal is, because when I first glanced at the photo, that's where I thought it was taken.

So can you adopt me, and I'll find something to graduate from, and we can go to Europe together?

Sounds like my mom.

Absolutely I'll adopt you! Just let me know when you graduate

I am dying to check out the HP stuff in London! Can not wait to hear about it!!! So cool, and London amazing!

I love Disney and all but other cities are amazing too!
