What Do You Do With a Nine Pound Lemon?? LINK TO NEW TR!

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Day 1 ~ Arrival, Epcot with Stephanie, dinner at Hacienda, Illuminations

Day 2 ~ Wild Africa Trek, DTD, dinner at Raglan Road, possible Jellyrolls

Day 3 ~ MK morning, lunch at Via Napoli, maybe back to WL to relax, EMH Epcot

Day 4 ~ Saturday February 4, 2012

Two trips ago, we booked Whispering Canyon Cafe for breakfast but ended up canceling. It's such a pain getting to other resorts for meals, especially breakfast! I was disappointed because I had my eye on that breakfast skillet like something fierce! So as soon as we decided we were staying at WL, one of my first thoughts was that we HAVE to do our WCC breakfast!!

So that is scheduled for 9:05am.

After breakfast, we'll bus it on over to DHS. There are a few things on my DHS agenda that I've never done before. I reeeally want to take the animation class and see Beauty and the Beast, neither of which I've ever done! SHOCKER!

We'll, of course, hit up Star Tours, TOT and RNRC. I want to do the Muppets, maybe Indiana Jones and if the Comedy Warehouse players are still performing, that will be a MUST!

We have a late lunch planned at Sci-Fi Dine In ~ We're thinking just apps and drinks this time!!

After lunch, we're going to either go back to WL to relax or head straight to our next destination - Magic Kingdom! We'll do whatever we didn't get to the day before and stay for the fireworks.

Day 5 ~ Sunday February 5, 2012

Final Epcot day!! It will look pretty much like what our final day in WDW ALWAYS looks like!!

The comedy warehouse players are performing at DHS? Or do you mean streetmosphere?

The Comedy Warehouse players were doing shows at the Sounds Dangerous theater during Christmas week.

Great video! Nice job! And I don't know if it's really true but I've heard for years that the B-52's lived in a house on the lake right by my house. What ever happened to them anyway?

I love them! They were scheduled to appear at a musicfest nearby a few years ago but we had bad weather. I was so down to see them!! So I guess they are still making appearances.

I had to go look them up. They're celebrating the 35th anniversary of their first show in GA. They are still touring. The closest I see to us is Ridgefield CT in March. I googled them trying to find out about the house they rented but all I could find is that they rented a "mansion" in Mahopac. That's where I live. If it's the house I've been told it is I don't know if I'd call it a mansion. Definitely a nice big house on the lake though.

LOVE the video!!! And the song is great. Tell Erin and Gary that the picture of them in HS with her kissing him while she is piggy-backing is priceless!

Excellent research! Maybe they'll come around for a music festival again one of these years....

Thanks! Yes, that is one of my fav pics from the whole trip! I love it!

I just read about the 40th Anniversary craziness. NUTS! That is worse that NYE week!!! Wow! But SO fun, your pictures and video are incredible, you had me in tears!

Oh btw, where is Tom???? He never made it! But he didn't mind! The whole time all of that was going on, he was in the Main Street Bakery enjoying a nice coffee cake!

That would so be Joe as well! He'd be irritated about getting me the shirt and enjoying a cinnamon bun after!

You posed with a purse! That is awesome.

Oh my gosh, I totally forgot to say!

You know the trouble that Tom went through the morning of the 40th to be able to get me my shirt? And how he missed the parade and presentation running from store to store to try and find one for himself, but to no avail? Well Christmas morning at my parents, he opens a gift from my mom and it's the freaking 40th anniversary shirt!! She was able to get it online!

Love it!

We have a 2:00pm lunch ADR for Via Napoli So excited to try that! The rest of the day will be spent in Epcot so hopefully we'll get in some Future World rides before parking positioning ourselves permanently in World Showcase for the rest of the evening! Although it's not the Food and Wine Festival, dinner than night will be snacking around the world. Maybe some "chips" from the UK, pretzel from Germany, chips and guac from Mexico, etc. Epcot has EMH that night too!

And do not forget the yummy desserts at the Caramel Kitchen in Germany!

The video was great! How hard/long is it to make a video like this and do you need some sort of special program? Ron was suppose to make one for our wedding, like he did for our 2009 Disney vacation, but he has given up on it. If I want one, I guess I'll have to make it myself.

Thanks Mel. I used imovie which comes standard on all Macs. Very easy to use.

I love the video. I wonder if my new computer will have any better features on the movie maker...But still Imovie rules. So jealous.

Good luck with your new computer! Hope you figured out the resolution and all that finally!

When I read the title of your report I thought " make a big stinking pitcher of lemonade". I love it!

I'm just getting started reading but great start.

ETA- I'm now up to the Halloween party. Your costumes are adorable.

1/9/2011 - So I just finished reading your trip report only to find out it's over. I guess I really was late to this party. Oh well maybe I'm just early for the next one.

THIRTEEN DAYS!!!
​

My personal days were approved yesterday so now it's totally official that we are going to Disney World in two weeks from yesterday!! I am so excited!

In other news, I don't know how many of you were with me for my honeymoon TR and the short one that followed a few months later but if you were, you might remember my cat Jack, who was literally like our child. Between those two trips, he got very sick and despite our best efforts, he didn't make it. We were devastated and still are but we finally felt it was time to move on and our new addition joined our family this past weekend!

Her name is Minerva (Minnie for short!) and she is so loving and cute! I'll post a picture as soon as I get one uploaded to photobucket.
