wdwgirl and Dad do Disney:an April '10 PTR...TR LINK ADDED!! p. 56

[wdwgirl03]

Speaking of monorails, Weird is beyond thrilled that they have the Tron monorails! Hehe, he's such a geek, but I love him for it.

Love your bags! I really like your park one. I typically don't care much for VB because some of those prints are like, "BAM, HEY, I'm a VB PRINT!" Haha, but I really like yours because it's calmer and the color choice is pretty.

The T-Rex Cafe looks like it'd be fun ... if I weren't petrified of creatures! That room with the gigantic squid thing is the one that scares me the most. That's probably not surprising though considering I seem to be scared of all animals! BUT the one thing that makes me want to go there is the fact that I keep seeing people's food pics with those waffle fries!!!

I really really really want that glacier too!!!

I'm excited to check out Tren-D! I also want to check out the little store next to Earl of Sandwich that has the kitchen stuff. I really want Mickey egg/pancake rings.

I'm kind of sad about those Tron monorails.

haha, yeah, some of the VB patterns are kind of crazy but I usually like all the ones with brighter colors! The blue one (it's called Bali Blue) is one of my favorites.

We ate at the Rainforest Cafe a couple years ago and loved it there so the T-Rex place seems really cool too. I think the big creatures are kind of fun. LOL!

Did you decide if you are going to spring for the cute Goofy Glacier cup? I kind of want one...

I am getting so excited for you. YAY for 15 days left. The boys adore TSM. Cooper has still yet to shoot his gun. He just watches everything that's going on at the moment. Maybe this year...

Cute VB bags. I haven't jumped on the VB wagon...yet.

Aww, that's funny he hasn't even used his gun!

No VB?!?! haha, just kidding.

Cute bags Sarah! I have a cardholder in the pattern of the smaller bag. Love it! I'm going back and forth on a new backpack. With Mother's Day and my birthday coming up...I'm very hopeful that my family is taking my hints. Just a little more than two weeks and you'll be there!

Ooh, VB sounds like a great mother's day gift! The store here got these really cute tea pots/cups that I showed my mom...I think she will be getting that for Mother's Day!

Toy Story Mania...so much fun!! Can't wait to ride it again! We were hoping to eat at T-Rex this trip, but unfortunately couldn't fit it in.We'll probably go in and look around though...Noah loves dinosaurs! Our favorites at DTD would definitely be World of Disney and Goofy's Candy Company!!

15 days!!! So exciting!!

That's how it was with us, we just didn't have time to go. Maybe with an extra day this time it'll be easier to go. I hope so!

TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY!!!

TWO WEEKS!

TSM is definitely my favourite attraction at DHS.... that and 10 million other Disney-goers.

I haven't been to DTD lately but I will be attending a concert at the House of Blues in April. I believe that's on the West Side? Another place in DTD, like yourself, that I'm not familiar with. My fav stores to visit are World of Disney (of course) and Basin, to smell all the pretty soaps. EoS is my favourite eatery. WPE might be the next candidate to take that title. I plan on giving that place a try next visit. Another mention should go to Tren-D, where I found a very nice Bambi shirt and bought it immediately. That store is full of neat trinkets but with a hefty pricetag. It's good if you're looking for something different and unique.

So true about TSM!

I did go into Tren-D in August and it was kind of neat. A lot smaller than I had pictured. There was some cute stuff.

Aww, how come you're sad about the Tron monorails? Is it because it looks very not like Epcot? Or you like seeing the different colors?

Do you use your VB bag for everyday things (at least in the summer) or just on vacation? That's really my main reason for not really liking VB as much; I don't know that I'd be okay with such a bright colored bag on a daily basis. I mean, I'm already the one who wears Disney shirts everywhere that I can (even on school dress down days!). The colorful bag might make me look even younger than I already am!

I think that if I really like the quality of the Goofy Glaciers cup (sturdy and all that so it'll last), I will be getting one! But who knows ... if I already spent a lot of money on other things, I may not. I still do really want one though!

I just like all the colors. I did like the What will you celebrate decorations.

I have used that VB bag (along with some others...) as an everyday bag. I love them!

I already said this but I think it would be so fun to use one in the classroom as like a pen/pencil holder or something.

 

[wdwgirl03]

I finally bought my park ticket!

Yes, I am now the proud owner of a Disney World Annual Pass! Well, technically I don't have it yet and since we leave in only TWO WEEKS I'll have to pick it up at will call when we visit the parks. Yippee!!! I haven't had an annual pass since 2001. Can't wait to use it and now I guess I have no excuses for not going in December. And the cool thing is that I was able to apply my Disney Rewards gift card I got when I applied for the Disney Visa, and that ended up covering almost half the cost.

And now for the picture of the day:

14 days until a blast into the past on Dinosaur!

Nothing beats having huge scary dinosaurs popping out at you. Makes for some pretty great pictures (one of the best parts of the ride is seeing all those ride photos!).

That's all for now, gotta go get ready for American Idol tonight!

 

[wisblue]

DINOSAUR

It's Fast....It's a Blast....It's in the Past!!!

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

Ah! You leave so soon. Now I need to go catch up on all of your plans! Who are your Idol favorites so far?

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Fourteen days.... sweet! And for the annual pass!

I can't wait to ride Dinosaur .... Demetri will be trying it for the first time Not sure how he'll react!

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

Oh man, good 'ol DINOSAUR! I still close my eyes every single time!

YAAAAY for getting an Annual Pass! So exciting! What days are you looking to go in December? (hint hint.. Dec 11-18th...)

 

[leamom2princesses]

Congrats on the Annual Pass! I'm getting my first one in May. I can't wait.

 

[wdwgirl03]

DINOSAUR

It's Fast....It's a Blast....It's in the Past!!!

hehe

Ah! You leave so soon. Now I need to go catch up on all of your plans! Who are your Idol favorites so far?

Hey! Welcome back! It is coming up SO fast.

Ugh, really this season kind of stinks...my favorite is definitely Lee but I like Katie, Siobhan, and Casey too. I miss last season.

Fourteen days.... sweet! And for the annual pass!

I can't wait to ride Dinosaur .... Demetri will be trying it for the first time Not sure how he'll react!

I hope Demetri likes it! The first time I rode it (and I was probably 14 at the time!) I had my eyes closed pretty much the whole time.

Oh man, good 'ol DINOSAUR! I still close my eyes every single time!

YAAAAY for getting an Annual Pass! So exciting! What days are you looking to go in December? (hint hint.. Dec 11-18th...)

LOL, me too but mainly at the end. Most of the time I am just screaming though.

Is that when you are going? Ahh I wish we could go then but because of school schedules we won't be going until after Christmas.

Congrats on the Annual Pass! I'm getting my first one in May. I can't wait.

Woo hoo, getting an AP and (hopefully!) joining DVC...exciting!

 

[tinkgurl]

I love Dinosaur! We got quite a few rides in there this trip.

 

[DisneyCrafter]

Oh my goodness...DINOSAUR?! I will NOT ride that EVER AGAIN! I was so freaked out, I literally kept my eyes closed the entire ride b/c I sat on the side closest to where the biggest dinosaur (T-Rex) pops out at you! I am such a sissy...

 

[Cory's Gal]

Sarah!! Awesome that you leave in two weeks!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the daily pics too!! They are fun to see everyday!! Awesome that you got an AP and that you were able to use your Rewards card!!!! Looking forward to the next pic!!

 

[Jennifer48]

Sarah!

I made a reservation for a last minute trip to WDW for my 30th birthday so I'll be there soon! My birthday is on the 8th.

I'll be there the 7-10th staying at All-Star Music. Maybe we can meet up?

 

[wdwgirl03]

I love Dinosaur! We got quite a few rides in there this trip.

Nice! What did you think of the crowds? Were they really bad? I don't know why I'm so scared, we've seen really big crowds before!

Oh my goodness...DINOSAUR?! I will NOT ride that EVER AGAIN! I was so freaked out, I literally kept my eyes closed the entire ride b/c I sat on the side closest to where the biggest dinosaur (T-Rex) pops out at you! I am such a sissy...

LOL! That's how I was the first time I rode too but then I promised myself I was going to ride without closing my eyes! I have yet to keep them open though at the very end...

Sarah!! Awesome that you leave in two weeks!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the daily pics too!! They are fun to see everyday!! Awesome that you got an AP and that you were able to use your Rewards card!!!! Looking forward to the next pic!!

Glad you are enjoying my pictures. Today is the 13-day mark. Any guesses as to what could be the picture for when we're 13 days away?!

Ohhhh, nice! I wish I could be there for my birthday...maybe some day. That would be fun if we could meet up!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Less than 2 weeks now!

Any ideas as to what the picture of the day will be? I'm sure you can guess it if you really think about it.

Think about the number 13...

Where is 13 significant in Disney World?







Any ideas yet?

Only 13 days until Entering the Twilight Zone!

And our ride picture from '06! That's me and my sister in the white t-shirts with our arms up in the air. haha! Love it.

I'm so mad, my ticker got messed up somehow so I had to make a new one. Bummer, because it was getting so close to the end. Oh well.

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Tower of Terror! Before seeing the pictures I was convinced it was the Haunted Mansion...

Man the time is flying by! Soon you'll be able to use your fingers to count....

 

[cbg1027]

Welcome back to the Passholder's Club!

You're getting so close! I know I just went, but I'm still super jealous.

Are you going to be on the computer at all while you're there? Will we get any live updates?

 

[jwwi]

Really close now. I just love your VB bag, checked out the new colors at the Elm Grove card shop yesterday, the purple color is so pretty. They also added a lot of fun stationary supplies. Congrats on buying the annual pass. You'll have to try to maximize that..........

 

[tinkgurl]

I really didn't think the crowds were that bad at all! I guess we're used to the summer crowds, so this was nice to us!
