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

[MHTeacher]

Hi Sarah! I realized while I was posting responses on my PTR that I had never come over to yours to visit. So here I am.

I've gone back and read the trip basics and it sounds like you and your Dad are going to have a blast.

Happy 50 Days!

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Woot! 50 days! Let's see how creative I can get......

I Love the Milwaukeeness of this post.

1-Sportscenter was just talking about Marquette's tourney chances this morning. They say they're in as of now. one more big win and/or a good showing in the conference tourney, and they're good to go.

2-I have always thought going to an early round weekend of NCAA tourney games would be epically fun. and this year, it's in Milwaukee....and I'll be in Disney World well...i'll be free friday...and off of work....and my flight is leaving from Milwaukee....ugh. gonna be tempting.

haha, thanks.

I hope that would be good enough! My dad always says that as long as they win half their conference games that should be enough. Which means they need 2 more. Gonna be an interesting finish!

We went to the NCAA tournament when it was here a few years ago (when Wisconsin played here) and then we went when Marquette played in Winston-Salem. The tournament is always exciting.

50 day dance....I dance at each "0" day........

Me too! It seems like I just started counting down from 100.

Hi! to my PTR. Glad you came over.

My dad and I went to California/Disneyland a couple years ago and it was a lot of fun. Can't wait for April!

Woot! 50 days! Let's see how creative I can get......

​

haha, love all the dancing icons!

 

[Angies1274]

Yay!! for 50 days!!!!!That's so exciting!! It sounds like you have lots of things to keep you busy to pass the time before you leave!!!

This year is going to be different because of some of the really bad losses (DePaul and NC State) and the lack of wins over good teams. MU probably has to win at least 3 of the last 6 to get to the NCAA, and none of the last 6 are gimmes.

I know, I'm ready to go now. haha

If only some of those first few games were wins (especially Villanova...).

Hope my next 50 days go by so quickly!

Sounds like you have lots of things going to occupy your time! (Geez, if someone from the "outside world" were ever to stumble upon this place, they'd think we wished our whole lives away just for a week or so spent at WDW!)

 

[brookelizabeth]

Your time will FLY with all that stuff going on!

 

[Goofy22]

HI SARAH! I'm back after a Hiatus from DIS! I'm going to try and catch up! Hopefully I will!

It sure will!

Hey Colleen! Good to see you again!!

 

[leamom2princesses]

Hi Sarah! I'm late to the party but Hooray for passing the 50 day mark! Looks like you have some really great stuff coming up to help pass the time.

 

[RachelNinja]

Part of me is so excited, of course, that our trips are coming up! However, there's another part of me that's kind of nervous! I feel as if I'm not prepared! I don't know what I have to prepare for, but I feel as I'm just not ready! Haha. It's silly of me to think that though because if I don't know "every" secret in the park, it doesn't matter because I'll eventually go back!

Any plans for your birthday?

 

[Cory's Gal]

Hello!! Finally posting after I got all caught up on your PTR! All the countdowns and lists are awesome to read! It's so fun seeing what everyone lists as their favorites!!! The days are flying by, we don't leave until April 24th, but it seems like I blinked and now it's the middle of February!! SO awesome that you have plans to go in December already too!! Did you decide whether or not you were going to get an AP?? Thanks for all the song links too, Enchanted in one of my favorite movies, they have been playing it a lot on cable recently and even my DH likes to watch it!! My DH is from Eastern Wisconsin. I have a friend who's kids went to Marquette too! Congrats on being under 50 days!

Nah, you're not late. There is a lot going on in the next month and a half. And geez, today is already Ash Wednesday, that means Easter is coming up fast too!

LOL, don't be nervous. The only thing that worries me is the stupid flights, especially after what happened when my parents and sister were coming home.

As of right now I don't really have any plans. We don't do anything too extravagant...maybe we'll go out for dinner. Like I said it's kinda crazy with my birthday the 12th, Dad's the 14th, and Emma's the 15th!

Hi Beth! So nice to have another reader! Glad you enjoyed reading the lists I've been doing. I should do another one soon...haha.

I'm excited we made reservations for December. It's such an awesome time to go despite the crowds. I still haven't decided as to what kind of park ticket I'm going to get. But I better get moving seeing as how fast the time is going (and I have my Disney Visa Rewards card to use!).

I think I saw in another PTR I'm reading that your DH is from Wisconsin. Yay for more Marquette people! When did they graduate?

I know I've looked at your PTR too...I'll have to head back over there because I can't remember if I posted or not!

 

[Brave teacher]

Hey Sarah! I have been neglectful lately, but I wanted to let you know that I am reading to get caught up again.

Yay, glad you're still with me!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Happy Friday! I don't know about you but I'm glad it's the weekend! I've been staying up a little too late these past couple of nights celebrating a friend's last day of work and watching the Olympics. It'll be nice to have a couple days off.

Anyways, I thought it might be a good time to post some more park plans.

Epcot Plans!

Epcot Extra Magic Hours
4/6 9:00 pm-12:00 am
4/8 9:00 pm-12:00 am

Just looked at the schedule and there are no morning EMH while we're there. Don't know if we'll do the PM ones then. We'll see.

I'm sure we'll go over to Epcot atleast twice (it'll be nice having that fifth full day to visit parks!). Must-dos at Epcot include:

Test Track
Soarin...as you know from my Top Ten list, one of my absolute favorites! I'd love to be able to do Soarin more than once on this trip.

My dad also likes Mission:Space but I don't think I'll be getting on that. Part of me wants to try it but I tend to get really nervous before going on rides for the first time and M:S just scares me. LOL. If he wants to do it he can go by himself. haha

And then there are the other things I want to do:
Spaceship Earth
The Seas with Nemo and Friends...we've done the ride a lot but what I really want to do too is spend some time looking at the aquariums. Usually nobody ever wants to do that but me. Luckily Dad is more willing to do whatever.
Living with the Land...sadly this was closed on our last trip so I'd like to do it this time.
Innoventions...in August we had a lot of fun exploring some of the exhibits in Innoventions. When my parents and sister were there in January they did something called the Sum of All Thrills (I think that's the name of it...) where you can create your own roller coaster. That might be interesting!
Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure...OK, I'm 24 and I enjoyed doing those missions in April. I'd like to do China and Norway this time.
Maelstrom...just because we haven't done it in a while.

Dad also said something about seeing the Canada movie so maybe we'll do that too. And if the lines aren't too long, maybe we could go into the Character Spot or do the Visa character meet and greet.

Did I miss anything? What are your Epcot favorites?

I can totally relate to you on that front. I have bad anxiety when it comes to something new. Usually I end up loving it but usually I'm too worried about what's going to happen to enjoy it.

Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure...OK, I'm 24 and I enjoyed doing those missions in April. I'd like to do China and Norway this time.

Hey! We're the same age I loved the Kim Possible adventure too. You're entitled to like everything Disney World has to offer, no matter what age

My favourites at Epcot are:
1. Soarin'
2. Test Track
3. Innoventions
4. Japan Pavilion
5. Illuminations

 

[RachelNinja]

I'd love to do Test Track and Living with the Land a million times!

I rode Soarin' 3x last time. My brother chickened out the 2nd time when we went back with FP, so I went with both my parents. I can't wait for Weird to try it! He's kind of afraid of heights, so hopefully he'll be okay!

I'm nervous about going on rides the first time too! That's why DHS makes me a little nervous. I don't know it at all and it's a new experience. It's the silliest reason though because I really want to go! I think all the things about people getting sick on M:S or freaking out about the small space really got to me. I do want to try the green side with Weird though, but if I don't ... haha, I'm not going to care.

The two new things I MUST try at Epcot are the Kim Possible mission (so so so excited!) and American Adventure. We somehow never made it all the way there, and I never knew there was a show there!

 

[onelilspark]

Ummm yeah, about Living with the Land being closed last time? It was my brother's fault

Haha...it closed down the day after we did it.
