I love that you guys found an appreciation for DHS! And great drawing of Grumpy! That's one thing I haven't done yet at DHS.

So sad that nobody cared! I am obsessed with Roger Rabbit!

I'm late to the game...just getting started reading this one, but I really enjoyed your 9lb Lemon report -Amanda

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Oh my goodness, it has taken me so long to respond!!!

We waited a long time for our Sci Fi ADR last week too - of course, it was spring break!

I guess if you go in July - you will be going late July? We are going June 28 - July 10th. Just booked the split stay at AS Movies and POFQ - first time for both places!

Nope, not July anymore!!

I had that same experience with Star Tours in Aug. It was late night for EMH's and as I walked up they let me in the fast pass line and I basically had no wait at all. I love the magic!

Sadly the ride made me a little motion sick. I'm not sure if I'll give it another go in Nov. or not.

The magic from the CMS is really amazing! Too bad you got a little sick on Star Tours. I get car sick sometimes if I'm in the back and definitely get seasick but rides don't ever bother me.

Hi nikki!
I just found your trip reports and have been going thru some of your old ones too. Looks like you had a great time. Looking at your pics from the food and wine festival made me miss it so much. My absolute favorite is Epcot and just wandering around the worlds. Maybe I can trick my boyfriend into going back this year for a long weekend. I also believe we tour epcot the same way, with a variety of beverages in hand

Can't wait to read more!

ETA:
I'm just about half way thru this one and reading about your anxiety. I get the same thing. Whenever I have to get up earlier, I basically wake up every 1/2 hr. And we also tend to take the first flight out of JFK, so thats like 6am. The last couple of trips, I don't think I was ever able to fully recover and the vacation suffered a bit for it. Next time, after reading the idea from another trip reporter, I think i'm going to attempt to add on a relaxing do-nothing day to the beginning of the trip. Just to get that anxiety out of my system.

Yes!! Walking around World Showcase is a little piece of heaven on earth! Anxiety like that totally sicks, right?! Hate it!

Star Tours is so much fun! That's so cool that you got to skip ahead of everyone because of Tom's knowledge!

The Streets of America look so weird to me now without the Osborne Lights!

I love One Man's Dream, I have to check that out again in May!

Ugh, Sci Fi is always such a long wait, no matter what! And sometimes I don't get Disney restaurants, you wait so long to get seated, and then when you do, the restaurant is empty!

Hahaa! Funny about the streets of america looking empty! Sci-Fi! What a pain!

I believe the room at WL was a king, but I am not 100% sure. They all seem to run together these days. I am glad that Sci-Fi didn't turn into a disaster. Before I finished reading, I was thinking something was going to go wrong...like they couldn't find your ADR or something, glad that wasn't the case. We are going in July this year. The airfare was great for all four of us to fly so we are meeting my mom down there. We are going 5 days earlier than her. We go July 16-26. I can't believe that we are into double digits. So excited! Glad your day at HS ended up as a good one. It took me quite a few times to truly appreciate HS, but I finally got there. Lol.

Haha, funny that you picked up on my foreboding at Sci-Fi! It wasn't too too bad, just annoying.

Oh, I LOVE the studios! And I love how you guys pose in your pics! We do that same kind of stuff (at least DD and I do - DH...not so much, hahahah). It's fun!!! Too funny that those doors opened when you leaned on them! Isn't it weird to see the back of those facades? Do you remember when the Golden Girls' house was there? And the house from one of those Disney Sing-A-Long songs videos? So weird (and cool) when you went behind them and they were just flats! Ah, Disney Magic!

Oh yes, we always pose in pics! ummmm, of COURSE I remember the Golden Girls house! It's only one of my favorite shows still to this day! I watch it every night. Loved with the studios was actually a studio.....

I came in late, but im all caught up! I love the layed back pace of your trip so far! I also really love all your silly pictures you guys take of yourselves! You have totally convinced me to get one of those funnel cakes next time, we passed them up because I thought it was a slab of cream cheese frosting. Dont get me wrong I love me some cream cheese frosting! Just not a brick of it I also am definitely going to have to add some money in the budget for some of those amazing drinks...and the wild africa trek...ok maybe Ill just copy your trip next time

Better late than never! Glad you're here! Yes you have to try the funnel cake. It really does look like butter or cream cheese but it's delicious, cold, creamy ice cream!

Great updates! Your Grumpy drawing is really good!! I feel the same way about HS - get my 'favorites' over with and leave. But next month on my solo trip, I think I'm going to spend some more time exploring it. And your posts have inspired me

Yeah spend some more time. We really did enjoy it a lot this time.

Well I read through this entire trip report and the one where you did the 5K. I had all sorts of things to comment on, and then the DIS went down for hours and I don't remember any of it.

Additionally, I was reading on the Chrome browser and since the DIS came back online, I can't log in to my account on Chrome....only on Explorer. So then I had to find your thread again.

The only thing that sticks out to me that I was going to comment on was how exhausted you were on your 5K trip. I got very exhausted due to lack of sleep on my Princess Half Marathon trip and I can totally relate. I felt terrible. I even fell asleep sitting up on a bench in Epcot. Oh, and your 40th Anniversary experience was crazy....but the photos and videos were great!

Oh my gosh, that 40th was complete madness! But so worth it for the pics and experience of it all! Definitely something I won't forget!

Finally had a chance to read it all! Another wonderful report! I am sorry to hear about the crazy night before your trip and the first one! UGH. Glad it didn't repeat itself for the entire vacation.

Those funnel cakes with ice cream look amazing. That is on the list for October.

Glad you're all caught up!

I finally got to play your video! It's great, awesome job! I love how you timed the pictures to the music

Oh good! So glad you got to see it! I'll have to post it again in case anyone missed it.

I love that you guys found an appreciation for DHS! And great drawing of Grumpy! That's one thing I haven't done yet at DHS.

You have to do it! It was on my list of things to do for quite some time.

So sad that nobody cared! I am obsessed with Roger Rabbit!

I didn't even post the pics of the car! Stupid!! I'll post it next time....

.....CLEVER!!

Haha, you should definitely do it. It's great!

Great! SO glad you're reading!!

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Sorry for the lack of updates and responses but if anyone is still with me, I'm happy to announce that I have officially booked my next trip! The dates are August 16-23 (discount just came out today!) and we're staying at CBR.

I'll wrap this TR up shortly and then start the PTR!!!

 

[Tracy161]

YAY!!! Another trip! So happy for you guys!

 

[Avery&Todd]

YEAH!! a new trip scheduled!! Im ready for the PTR!!!

 

[ChefDisneyLu]

Great TR and video! Thank you for sharing, I can't wait for the rest!

Hi Nikki - so pleased for you to have booked your next trip! and our August vacations overlap.. we will be in Orlando 9th-23rd with DH's family

Bet it will be nice for you and Tom to have a longer trip in WDW this time

[anjalee6]

Yay! For a new trip planned! It will be so nice for you to have more time. Have you tried CBR'S before? Can't remember.

 

[brookelizabeth]

Congrats again on the new trip!!! I'm glad it all fell into place!

 

[Tinkerbellie16]

Yeah! It is always better to have a trip planned to stay away from the WDW blues. I'll be staying at CBR (for the first time ever) next week! I'm excited to try out a new resort. I'll be there for work though - well, part of the time

 

[ronnmel]

You are going the dates we were in Disney last year. It was hot, but not too crowded. I mean yes, it was crowded, but we were still able to go on everything we wanted to without too much of a wait. Hope you have a great trip!

 

[archdandy]

Whaaaaa...? Muppets and Alkaline Trio? I loved your new video. The song fit perfectly!

I just got all caught up on your TR and it looks like you had a great time besides the anxiety attack and not feeling well your first day. DH and I both suffer from anxiety disorders so we know how scary it can be. Was the AK tour your first 'backstage' tour? I've wanted to do one for a long time and that one looks like it would be really fun.

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

YAY!!! Another trip! So happy for you guys!

Thanks!!!

YEAH!! a new trip scheduled!! Im ready for the PTR!!!

Haha, great!! I know, I've got to bang this one out and then start the PTR!

Great TR and video! Thank you for sharing, I can't wait for the rest!

So glad you are enjoying it!

We have to try to plan to meet up at some point!

Yay! For a new trip planned! It will be so nice for you to have more time. Have you tried CBR'S before? Can't remember.

Yes, we've done CBR twice. Love it!

Always better to have a trip planned!! Oh you are going to LOVE CBR. Are you in a standard room? Did you put in a building request? It's a huuuuuge resort and you don't want to be too far from the main building.

You are going the dates we were in Disney last year. It was hot, but not too crowded. I mean yes, it was crowded, but we were still able to go on everything we wanted to without too much of a wait. Hope you have a great trip!

Yeah we're good with the heat! I'm thinking the crowds will be low because it's RIGHT before "free dining" starts.

Yay!!!! I'm sooooo glad you know that song!! I would think not many people do. Ugh, anxiety is the WORST!! I might mention it to my doctor so I can have something to take when it happens. My husband has anxiety too but he is on a daily medicine. The Wild Africa Trek was AMAZING!! No, we're done a few other tours. They were all so different an unique!

 

[PopArtGal]

I love "kill the beast" too.

And that show is a must-do for me. I'm not a fan of DHS but if I go, I always go and see the show.

 

[jenseib]

Yay for dates being set.

 

[ronnmel]

Yeah we're good with the heat! I'm thinking the crowds will be low because it's RIGHT before "free dining" starts.

I just noticed that free dining is starting almost 2 weeks later than last year, so you should have lower crowds than we got.

No, I didn't make a room location request. I wasn't sure what I should request. I'm going to have a car and all the buildings are near a parking lot so that's good. I don't mind walking too much and on three of the days, I will be driving to the conference. Although if you have a recommendation, let me know!
