Denise,
I am so enjoying your trip report. We are leaving on Monday to stay at the POLY. Have fun seeing all the "stars". Take plenty of pictures. Have fun at the concert on Saturday night. I am sure this is going to be a dream come true for your triplets. Let us know who all you see around and about! Have fun, and take Rees to ride EE!

Denise!! Hooray for Rees!! and Hooray for Bounceback!!

Enjoy the BC!!!!!!!

 

[Joanna71985]

The DCG parade is at 2:15pm and will have ALL the stars!!! We have our shady spot all saved. The kids are going to flip!

Ooo, that should be fun! I can't wait to hear who was there.

We are checked into the BC and we picked up our seat tickets to the Disney Channel games concert on Saturday. We have a very nice standard room on the 2nd floor. It is over the courtyard facing the little mermaid statue and has a full balcony. We literally are 20 steps from the stairs in the lobby so it couldn't be more convenient. I also was able to change the bounceback date to Dec 1-14 at the CR Bay Lake view. We are pulling into the HS parking lot now.

That is awsome!

I'm so glad y'all are having such a great trip. Good for Rees being so brave! I know that it's fun for all of you. Have a great time!

Today was really fun. We checked out of the CR and went to pick up our tickets to the concert. We have lower level between 1st base and Home plate. Then we checked in here at noon and our room was ready. We really like the layout of the room and our location is great. Our room is directly over the BC mercantile shop and steps from the lobby. We went to HS and they were doing the DCG parade. We got seats in the reserved VIP section (the cast members were terrific and let us sit there so Rees could stay in his wheelchair out of the sun). While DH held our spot, we went and watched the HSM pep rally. They loved it. During the parade we saw the Jonas Bros, Cheetah Girls, Selena Gomez, and a new star of the Camp Rock movie. I got some great pictures. We also went to the Little Mermaid show, Muppet Movie, Indiana Jones, Beauty and the Beast, and Fantasmic. We ate dinner at 50's PT and it was yummy as usual. We had the same server as 2 years ago, Cindy. Her niece is expecting triplets, so we had a lot to talk about. We came back and the kids crashed. They are super tired. Tomorrow we have lunch at the Garden grill so we will sleep in really late. We also have dinner at PSB. The big thing is both the boys want to try Soarin' snd Test Track, so keep you fingers crossed!! Have a good night!

Fingers crossed! Soarin' is my fav, and Jake loves Garden Grill and The Land ride. I hope the PD continues!

Denise I would love to hear about Garden Grill, I will eating there for the 1st time next week!

Hope you all have another wonderful day

 

[Joanna71985]

Have fun at the GG (and at Norway). I ate at GG last summer. It is a lot of fun.

 

[NewCrew42]

I just got back from WDW on Sat. I miss it so much!

Your report helps cure my Disney blues!

Keep on postin'!

Soarin' and Test Track are a huge hit!! We are about to ride Soarin' for the 2nd time. Crowds are very low and wait times short. Rees was selected at TT with Crush, and they even interviewed us as parental units. Garden Grill was delicious, and the character interaction was superb. We will definitely go back. We will hit TT again tonight. After this we're off to WS to visit the countries.

We are all packed and heading out in the morning we are staying at a hotel outside of the park tomorrow night and checking into the Contemporary early on Sat morning and heading to the Magic Kingdom and then to EPCOT Sat night.

Thank you for all of the live updates and crowd reports I cannot wait to get there!! We will be looking for you and your family in the parks.

Sounds like a fabulous day! Isn't Garden Grill GREAT?! The character interaction is amazing there!

Have fun tomorrow!

 

[triplefigs]

We ended up riding Test Track 3 times (when we went the CM let us stay on for a 2nd ride). We also rode Soarin' 3 times today. They loved them both! We rode Nemo, did Turtle Talk with Crush, the boat ride in Mexico, Living with the land boat ride, Soarin' and TT. We walked around WS and got pictures with Marie and Aurora in France; Pooh, Tigger, Mary Poppins and Alice in England; Donald in his Three Caballeros outfit; saw Belle in yellow, Ariel, Mary Poppins, Aurora, and Snow White for PSB dinner. Dinner was good, but Davis is TOTALLY over the princesses. It was funny when Aurora kissed him and he got so mad. Guess he's a tween now!

We came back and got some Gelato at the BC Marketplace. Tommorow we rest, eat b'fast at Cape May with Goofy, and go to DTD. Then we hit the P&PP tomorrow night and eat dinner at Crystal Palace. Saturday is swim at SAB and then go to the DCG concert. I've got to get Rees in bed, so have a good night!
