"WATCH OUT DISNEY WORLD, HERE COMES THE RINALDI'S!" A fully-loaded summer 2010 TR!!:)

As i left off, we were on our way to Innoventions, to go on the Sum Of All Thrills. My family had gone on it before on our february trip, but our other relatives had never been on.

And finally here we were!



158-1.jpg





We waited for less than 20 minutes, and then were ready to design our thrill ride! I sat with Grace, and we made the wildest rollercoaster you could make with tons of loops. Because we're daredevils like that..;).

The machines you get to ride in. I know, they're kind of blurry.


161-1.jpg



After the Sum of All Thrills, our FP's were up for Soarin', so we trekked back to the Land Pavilion. We got back on Soarin, for another great ride, and luckily we got to sit in section one! Although, while we were waiting in line, i saw a CM being oddly rude to a family next to us. They were Spanish and spoke very little English, and were confused that each person had to stand on a yellow marker in line. And the CM was practiacally yelling at them. I'd never seen that before!

Once Soarin' was over it was lunch time, so we chose to go to Sunshine Seasons. That is probably my favorite place to get a counterservice at WDW. It has SO many choices. I ordered the delicious Ceaser's Salad...my favorite one in disney. And i also got my first mickey premium bar of the trip!

It was delicious, and my parents also got really good sandwiches..yumm!:goodvibes

After lunch we were to leave..here's a pictureof the Land.



162-1.jpg



Once we exited the area, my parents, Grace, and my Auntie Cathie decided to go back to the pool. But me, Uncle Matt, Bella, and Dominic decided to stay. I don't have any pictures of this part because my dad had the cmera, but i"ll still tell about it.

First we went to the Living Seas, and got on the Clamshell ride. There was hardly no one on it, because almost all the clam shells were empty..kinda weird. I love how there is this humongously long line for that ride, yet there is never actually a line.

After the ride, we went to see about Talking with Crush. They had just let a show in, so instead of waiting there for 30 minutes, we looked around the aquarium. As IASW had been, DOminic was amazed by everything..lol.

Then it was time to go to Crush. There was a huge pack of people, and we really wanted to sit in the front. So i grabbed Bella and Dominic's hands and pushed through the crowd. If someone didn't move i cried, "Excuse me, our family is up there, sorry i just have to get to my parents." And it worked, even if i was a liar;).

The show was great, and Crush even talked to Bella. When he had come out in his bikini, all the toddlers screeched, "He's wearing a braaaa!!!" LOL!

Next we hit Figment, which we waited awhile since it was broken, then Captain EO. Now everyone in my family adored this. I completely disagree, i really disliked it. I thought Honey I shrunk the audience was MUCH better!

Next we went to Club Cool, where a punk looking girl told Dominic to drink the Italian Beverly, "it's the best". I took a swig, and then said, "mmm this is pwetty good!" He is soo clueless!

Then, before returning back to BC, we went on Spaceship Earth. I lovee that ride. We always make wicked weird faces to be funny!


After that, we were ready to hit the pool, so we headed on back to the BC, after a long day at Epcot.



-Coming up Next..."You're hair looks SOO weird!"-Isabella
 
When i left off me, Bella, Dominic, and my Uncle Matt were heading back to the BC. We got in the pool, and took a quick swim. Then my family headed back to the room to take a shower before our ADR at Tutto Italia.



After my shower, i decided to leave my hair down to dry, plus it would look nicer. Big mistake. NEVER wear you're hair down at FL in the summer!lol..that is my advice. Well, then we met the rest of our party and headed down towards Epcot for dinner.



Here are some pictures of the BC, and places around it my dad took while we were waiting for them.

Once we were there, we headed straight down to Italy, since it was almost time for our ADR at Tutto Italia. By this time my head felt like it was on fire, and i felt as if i were to die if i didnt put my hair up. After asking everyone if they had a hair band i finally found one, and whipped my hair up. Now, ive never really put my hair up without looking in the mirror so this was PRETTY bad. I had a huge bun right on the top of my head. Isabella cried, "Oh my! Your hair looks SO weird!" lol, and indeed it did!



Some pics of Italy while we were waiting to be seated.

179-2.jpg





We had never been to Tutto Italia, so this was a first. Once we were seated and our waiter came by..(his name was Massemiliano...what an odd name!) we ordered our dinner..it was delicious! I would definetely go there again! I ordered the lasagna, and if you've never been before i would say u must try it. All the adults agreed my dinner was the best..lol. I also got vanilla gelato with chocolate sauce on top.



Us at Tutto Italia:




My mom and dad

Auntie Cathie and Uncle Matt

And all of us kids!

After dinner, we looked around in some of the shops.


Me, Grace, Bella and Dominic climbed to stand on that tower thing.


134-1.jpg





We looked around in a few countries after that, and then went to Maelstrom.
Then, us kids got pics by the troll.

Me:

Grace and Bella:



135-1.jpg






We only looked around in a few countries, then we made our way to the bridge between France and the UK, and watched IllumiNations:Reflections of Earth. It was absolutely fantastic! I looove the music they play in it!

Then, we made our way back up the path to the BC, and headed straight to bed since we were all so tired. Dominic was probably the most tired of all! Heres a picture of him sleeping that my aunt took. He's cuddled right up next to his new mickey Mouse.



136-1.jpg



I made our wake up call for 7 since we were going to the AK, and then we all headed to sleep after another magical day at WDW!

I hope everyone has enjoyed this so far, and id appreciate comments, thks!:goodvibes



-Coming up Next..."Kilimanjaro Safari's!"

Haha, I pretty much always wear my hair down at WDW, I guess I'm the opposite of you! And my hair is dark brown so it gets even hotter! But I put up with it because I love to wear my hair down, I make a lot of sacrafices for my hair, lol.
Keep the updates coming!

Thanks! I'm glad you like it so far!:goodvibes
 
Great updates!
I've never been to Tutto italia, but I've been to the old Table Service in Italy, the one that was there right before Tutto Italia & it was very good. This new one sounds good too. The gelato for dessert sounds yummy.
Can't wait for more. :)
 

Alright, so for our third day at WDW, we decided to go to AK. That meant we needed to be up for 7, because the bus went to all hotels in the Epcot area, and BB we needed be up and at the bus stop by 7:30. It turned out to be a dilemna though, because my aunt and cousins were ready with us at the busstop, but my uncle was still in the room.

So, when a bus pulled up we had to get on, while they waited.It all worked out in the end tough, and we were at the park, and were ready to head to Kilimanjaro Safaris. Although, it was only around 8 and the whole park was open, but was pretty empty. Of course, it was EMH at AK for resort guests! How could we have missed that one! At least we wouldn't have to wait!:thumbsup2

We were on the safari in five minutes, and we had a great ride. I don't want to bore you with a ton of animal pictures, but we did get a GREAT look at the cheetahs.



200-2.jpg




After that, we decided to make our way to my most favorite ride...Expedition Everest! Yay!:cool1:


Here we all are getting ready to brave the yeti!



177-2.jpg




We waited in line for only a few minutes..i actually don't mind it though, because i think the line for EE is really cool with all that Yeti stuff.



174-2.jpg





175-2.jpg




We were ready to ride! I sat with my mom in the 3rd seat..i was a bit bummed i didn't get front seat, but i wasn't gonna wait forever in that line. I was a bit anxious to see how Bella would react seeing how she hadn't liked EE last time she came. The ride was awesome!

We quickly hurried out, and got FP's to go back on later, and me and Dominic made an oath that we would sit together next time. Isabella claimed she liked it, but was most definetely NOT going on again.


Now, we were just about ready for Kali River Rapids! We were all banking on Bella and Grace getting soaked because they always do..but no! It was my Uncle Matt this time who was drenched!

After we got off, all of us kids were a little annoyed we didn't get that wet, so we were able to talk Uncle Matt to go back on with us, while the rest of the adults got snacks.

This time, it was me and Bella who got soaked. It was awful! I now completely regeretted going on a 2nd time, because now i was drenched through the underwear!!

Our FP's were up for EE, so we quickly headed to that again. We made Bella wait with a CM while we went on, and i sat with Dominic. I was so wet, i felt like i was going to slip right out of the seat! Dominic loved it though, i could tell. The minute the ride ended, he said, "OH MAN! I wanna go on that again!"


But, now we had to head somewhere else to go. (I told you we were a run-around type of family). We headed to the 11:00 showing of Finding Nemo.

We had to wait quite awhile, so i got a chance to take a rest. I almost fell asleep. Here's all of us waiting for the show:



194-2.jpg





193-2.jpg





And finally the show started! It was fantastic, a great musical! I love seeing this show everytime.

Once the show ended, we hightailed it out of the huge crowd, and were on our way to Dinoland USA! Can you guess where we might be heading next?

I'm going to end this post now, so people can comment, plus i am very busy, and wasn't able to post at all yesterday!




-Coming up Next..."DINOSAUR!"

WOW>. i am impressed!!! great trip report! i think you are hysterical ( in a good way!) keep going!!
 
Ok, so when i had left off, we were out of Finding Nemo: The musical, and we now were on our way to Dinoland USA, to encounter Dinosaur! It was Isabella and Dominic's first time to be going on this ride, so i was excited to see their reaction.

Here we are waiting for Dinosaur:



182-2.jpg




I assured Isabella when we stepped into the room to watch that pre-show, that this was just a little ride in a jeep where you learn about different dinosaurs and get to look at them. I couldn't have been any wronger;).



The ride was AWESOME! Isabella seemed to actually like it! I hurried to see the picture. It was HILARIOUS! My aunt, dominic, and grace had there heads down with their hands over their ears. My uncle matt's hands were in the air. Me, bella, and my dad were just looking at the camera, and my mom had a fierce look on her face and held her hand up like a claw. I dont't really understand that one...lol.


We exited to the gift shop, and my aunt took a few pictures.(I apologize that the pictures are small...idk how to change their size on photobucket..could anyone help?)




190-2.jpg





The three Mad Hatters!


188-2.jpg



Next, we took a few pictures of us next to the Dinosaur outside of the ride:



185-2.jpg




186-2.jpg



By now, we were getting hungry, so we stopped at Restaurantasaurus for lunch. The lunch was good, but the Chocolate Mousse that we got for dessert was soo good!


After lunch, Bella, Dominic, Grace, and my aunt went to Primeval Whirl, while the rest of us headed to It's a Bugs Life. It was a great show! I love how everytime i go, there is AT LEAST one child who is screeching and crying. People just dont listen when they say this ride is extremely frightening for younger children.

We met the rest of our party outside of the Tree of Life, and since Uncle Matt wanted him and his family to stay, just my family decided to go back for an afternoon in the pool.


Im going to stop this post now, i hope everyone has enjoyed this so far. Please keep on commenting!:goodvibes



-Coming up Next..."Crabs, crabs, and more crabs!!"
 
Alright, well sorry i haven't been on in awhile, i've been really busy.

So, when i left off, we were on our way from the AK back to the BC.
For the rest of the afternoon, we swam in the DVC smaller pool while my mom did laundry, then we showered, then headed to our dinner at the Cape May Cafe, a first for us.



206-2.jpg




Once we were seated at our table, we hurried to our food. The dinner was great, and since this restaurant had crabs, and my uncle matt LOVES crabs, he had alot. And when i say alot i MEAN alot. So much, that his plate heaped high filled with it. The ceaser's salad was great, and the dessert's were adorable.

After dinner, it was time to get ready to leave for MK to see the MSEP and new fireworks. I was soo excited!


We were the only ones on the bus, other than this one other man...i pity the poor man.

Here we are on the bus:


216-2.jpg




217-2.jpg



Of course, on this bus ride we broke into full song and finger interpretation to the song, "Where is Thumbkin!?" My mom was pretty mad at us, and the guy on the bus appeared extremely uncomfortable.


Once we were at MK, we went to Mickey's Philharmagic, while my mom, dad, and aunt, and they would call us and tell us where they were seated for the parade down at Main Street.

Unfortunataly we didn't get a spot at Main Street so i was pretty annoyed.

Here are some pictures of the castle when it lit up as different colors at night.



222-2.jpg



But the worst hadn't happened yet, so sadly the MSEP was cancelled...but we wanted to stay for the 10:00 fireworks, so we headed to HM, because there was no line. Once we were on, the ride stopped many times, and one time it stopped for awhile, appearing broken.

After that ride, it was almost time for the fireworks, so we booked it out of there, and stood right in front of the castle. It was a great show, but we were quite distraught because there was no tinkerbell!:confused: We all hoped that there hadn't been tink because there was lightning, but who knew.

I stayed with my dad, uncle matt, and bella, while the others headed back with the other huge crowd, and we hit buzz lightyear space ranger spin, and then were the last to go on Indy Speedway. It was hilarious, because my uncle kept banging bella cuz she was too slow. After that, we went back to Main Street, where the parade was starting, got a small glimpse of it, then headed to the buses.

Then, we were back at the hotel, and fast asleep after a great day at disney.

Hopefully you enjoyed this so far, and keep on commenting!



-Coming up Next..."Rock 'n' Roll!":rockband:
 
Great update,
Too bad the parade was canceled, but at least you got to see the fireworks!
& Don't you love riding Indy Speedway at night? I think it's great all lit up & it's not really hot like it is during the day. :goodvibes
