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

[anjalee6]

I am already going through withdraw. My husband said he wants to try somewhere different for our 10 year anniversary so I don't know when we will go back.I guess I can't complain because we did June for 10 days and September for 5 buti still feel like I could go again. So happy for you that got what you wanted for ADRs. That is great.

That is awesome you are going to be going again soon. It makes coming home from this trip a little easier knowing you will be going back.

Just made a bunch of ADRs for my February trip!!! Every single one I got exactly the time that I wanted and times were available 15 mins before and after! EXCEPT for Le Cellier! I really wanted to try the lunch menu and there is just nothing for the day we were looking. So we might try a new restaurant in Epcot. Maybe Italy.

Ahh! Should I start a new PTR? I can't believe I'll have a simultaneous TR AND PTR!!

Yes!!! Start a PTR!! Or you could add onto this one, but it won't be as fun Personally after my trip and TR I am going to start a "never ending PTR" because we have our dates for 2013, but I plan on having at least one mini trip before that, I just don't know when. Plus I don't know what I would do if I didn't have a PTR or TR to work on...

Something different? You mean there is somewhere else to go on vacation?!

Makes it sooooo much easier!! We are almost at 100 days already!

Really? You think I should? I'm afraid that my PTRs are boring as it is and I don't know how much I'm going to have to say about this trip....might just add updates about the new trip here....

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

So I'm still not quite ready to officially begin the TR but hopefully soon. I was at my parents' last night and I was able to get both their pics and my sister's pics. Tomorrow, we are going to Tom's brother's so I can get Erin's pics....then all I need is the photopass CD and we are good to GO! I'm thinking VERY soon!

And speaking of our trip to Gary and Erin's tomorrow, Tom decided he wanted to make something special to bring. Conor had been talking about riding Test Track with us for months and months and we had so much fun riding with him! It's his favorite ride, as I'm sure it is for most 5 year old boys.

So anyway, here is what we made to bring to them tomorrow!!

Totally Tom's idea! I'm a little nervous because Erin is an actual baker and cake decorator. She's AWESOME at it and so creative! If anyone is the in eastern PA area and in need of cute baked good for parties or any occasion, seriously let me know so I can give you her contact info. Anyway, I'm hoping she'll think they're cute even though I'm sure she'll be thinking how much better she could have made them! Haha!


NEW TRIP:
So I think I'm just going to update my plans for the February trip on this TR since there isn't too much to say about it. We are about 115 days out! We took about 1/2 hour to decide on a tentative plan and sketch out some ADRs. On arrival day, we are going to try Hacienda. I got a 7:45 ADR hoping for a view of Illuminations. Day 2 we are going to try Raglan Road at DTD. The menu looks AWESOME! Day 3 we wanted Le Cellier lunch but couldn't get it so we'll keep trying or maybe leave it open and eat around the world! Day 4 we got breakfast ADR for Whispering Canyon cafe. The breakfast skillet looks soooo good! We had an ADR for it on a previous trip but canceled it the night before because we didn't want to be bothered getting to the WL. So since we're staying there, this is the perfect time to do it! We also got a late lunch ADR at Sci-Fi with plans for just do drinks and apps! Day 5 is open as we'll probably eat around the world that day too.

And finally, you should all be happy to know that I also started on a new VIDEO!!! Again, I can't do much until I have Erin's pics and the photopass pics but I've picked a song and did the opening and it's already SOOO awesome! (If I do say so myself... )


So that's my update for tonight. Hopefully we'll get started this week!!

Joining in-your trip reports are always fun! Congrats on the new trip-it will be so nice to go when it is cool and not so crowded.

 

[ronnmel]

The cupcakes look awesome!

 

[lovegrumpy]

Those cupcakes look yummy. My ds was asking to make cupcakes so we might have to borrow your design.

 

[Dream426]

The cupcakes look delicious. I love cupcakes. DH and I love Raglan Road. I get the beef stew every time we go and I love it. My mom got it also when we took the family last year and she really liked it as well.

Can't wait to see the video. Very creative.

 

[anjalee6]

Cupcakes are so cute Nikki and I give Tom props for thinking of the idea. Really cute! Glad you are busy planning your next trip. After discussing things with my husband yesterday, we have planned another trip also. We are going in September again next year for our 10th anniversary. It's not until November but we can't get away then unless it's Thanksgiving and I am not braving the thanksgiving crowds so September it is. Can't wait to hear more about your plans.

 

[merbobear]

Ooh I'm in! I have read your past TR's and can't wait to see what fun you had this time around!
I love the cupcakes, btw, I am sure that they were received with genuine enthusiasm...the point is not how professionally they are decorated, but the thought, time and creativity that went into them!

And...Lucky youuuu with a new ticker already! Can't wait for this TR to really get started!

 

[stephielela]

Awww those cupcakes are adorable, and so cool that Tom thought of them. We don't usually give guys much credit do we?

Keep trying on the Le Cellier lunch, I bet something will open up!

I can't wait to see all the pics and your video!

Thanks Mel! I'm sure they look even more awesome to you! Or are you not at that stage yet?

Yes! Definitely do it! I was actually surprised, I googled "test track cupcakes" and there was nothing! Would've thought it had been done before.

That is good to know! Thanks for the Raglan Road encouragement. It's always weird when we try some place new.

No, not yet. But I've always loved cupcakes!

 

[Tinkerbellie16]

The cupcakes are so cute! They are done really well but it really is the thought that counts. You thought about his favorite ride and did something special for him. So nice!
