What took you so long to get here?! A Dec TR - update 1/28 MVMCP!

[tinkbell13]

Love, love, love the Christmas decorations! Darn, now I want to go while it's decorated for Christmas time. A trip to plan down the road!

For first ride, my guess is Its A Small World. That's what my MIL's choice is!

Oh, and my DS saw both the pac man shirts and now wants them! He even knew it was pac man!

 

[poisonapple_PRINCESS]

Crap I didn't guess the first ride! I'm going to say Pirates! That was our first ride anyway!

The monorail??? LOL

D~

We will see!

I will say this though, I LOVED the monorail! I wish I had one at home! You know...one that made stops at work, walmart, a few other choice places, and then home!

It is so gorgeous at Christmas time. I absolutely loved it!

DBF got both of those shirts for Christmas different years! They are pretty cool..if I knew where his mom got them I'd tell you...buuut I have no clue!

It's where I buy DH's, and sometimes ones for the kids. And I love finding the obscure geeky shirt at Target or something.

I want to go back to Disney so bad!

My friend is leaving this sat till next sun. I'm watching their dog. I'd rather be going along!



I want to go back so bad! Most amazing place, ever

I am sorry... The only cure for that is to plan another trip...

I've planned lots of trips... Even if you don't go, sometimes it makes you feel better. (((Hugs)))

Yup - what D~ said Sometimes planning a dream trip can help.

We're watching DH's boss's dog while his family goes in two weeks. They're going on a cruise first and then his wife & kids will go to Disney while he does the PGA show in Orlando. What's worse is we could have been doing Disney with them while DH went to the show if his work had paid him the backpay they owe him I kept hoping and hoping but no such luck!

Well good news is my Dad wants to go next February! I was in shock and disbelief! But I'm so happy!

I love trip planning!

love, love, love, love, love it! OCDP!

And OH that sucks! Especially since it ruined a possible Disney trip!

The crystal stores are amazing, I was surprised how many of them there are in Disney! For some reason, I remember the one in Epcot and not so much the others.

I love that your bag's strap is perfect for buttons. I hate putting them on my shirt because they always make holes but have no idea what to do with them! I need a cloth bag You got really great Photopass pics (we.. forgot them. So glad we forgot to order the CD)! Did you get a lot of different PP pics? I wouldn't want to pay $100+ for a lot of the same pictures.

We like the Plaza for lunch in Magic Kingdom, it's actually one of our must do reservations. Love to watch Main Street and none of the Magic Kingdom counter services have 'spoken' to us yet. Pecos Bill is definitely towards the bottom of our list.

Oh we went to the Crystal Arts every time we were in the MK, sometimes twice in a day. DBF liked it just as much as I did! (maybe not quite...but still)

My bag is perfect for buttons! I loved it! It did get knocked off a few times though, but I was glad it wasnt on my shirt and I didnt have to remember it everyday since it was already on my bag.

OOooh - THAT IS AWESOME!!!! I seriously think you need to start another PTR then! Sooo exciting!

I was wondering if I should attempt that while trying to do this TR. But I figured either way I'll wait until the plans are finalized and something is either paid for or has money down. You never know if he'll change his mind!

LOVE the update!!! My boys are sitting next to me and they loved all the pictures too! I'm supposed to tell you that you took a picture of their "favorite, favorite, ever ride" which would be . . . Buzz Lightyear! The funny thing is that this came out of the little one's mouth and his "favorite favorite ever ride" changes depending on the picture he's looking at


You had feet in your pictures! Congrats!!!

And what was up with your not so great luck of rides having issues???

 

[Nermel9]

Great update! Awww, Pirate Goofy is so cute, I always want to meet him but the line is always so long.

OMG I can't believe all the technical difficulties the rides were having, that's crazy! It seems like Pirates always gets stuck!

Cute PP pics!

 

[Lidian]

Love the update! Waiting for more!

We've never seen Pirate Goofy, or Space Chip & Dale. We saw the girl pirate from the new movie (haven't seen the movie yet, can't recall her name) while we was waiting for TPL last May ... but once we finished, she was gone and they said it would be awhile before she'd be back. I really wanted the kids to meet her, since they just had Pirate makeovers! Especially since they had the Limited-Time Mermaid package that DD chose.

Sorry that you kept running into technical difficulties. That's never fun. However, one of my favorite songs is the Carousel of Progress's "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" songs.

On a good note, your pictures were wonderful!!

Too cute! That was one of my favorites...minus the difficulties!

We didnt have feet in any of the last PP photo's though! So weird.

And the difficulties will continue to happen throughout our trip unfortunately.

He was so cute! And so fun too!

It was really annoying to keep getting stuck on rides! Especially since it took so long to get them started again!

I'm glad we waited in line for those characters! When we got to the front of Goofy's line he had to go check if pirates were plundering his treasure (or something like that) and then the same thing happened at Chip and Dale except they had to go eat some nut pie!

The Carousel of Progress was really interesting. The song is catchy...like I said...stuck in my head the WHOLE trip!

And thank you! I think my pics from this post look pretty nice. My fav is the Minnie and Mickey photo! I loved those!

Great report! Even with all the ride and character issues, it sounds like an awesome first day.

I love POTC, it is one of my top 10 rides at MK. I look forward to it this year as the three kids are really into the movies. At Christmas, I asked my nieces what kind of ears they wanted to get. We surfed through the online store and the oldest wanted girl pirate ears and her sister wanted pirate ears, specifically not girl ones. It will be interesting to see what they choose when we get there and they see all the other ones too! I'll have to keep my eyes open for pirate Goofy. That'll be an awesome picture!

We also love the Buzz Lightyear ride. Another top 10 for us. My DS kicked butt on that one last time. I can't wait to go. Our trip seems sooooo far away!

Love your PP pictures! I'm thinking of pre-ordering the PP CD this time. We had so many pictures taken with the castle in the background last time. They were my favourite. And the character photos they took were much better than the photos we took of DS.

POTC was a really cool ride! I really enjoyed it! And Pirate Goofy was a big PLUS!

I think I'll pre-order it from now on. It was so nice to just hand over the card and get pictures taken! And they had PP photographers EVERYWHERE! So it was a really convenient service that I LOVED!

And it may seem like your trip is far away, but OH MAN does it come quick and then its over. I really want to go back! REEEALLY BAD!

First Ride!?

After lunch we headed towards my first ride! My FIRST EVER DISNEY RIDE! (For all of you who took guesses, I believe one person got it right)

MY FIRST DISNEY RIDE WAS.....

POTC! But on our way into the ride I saw Pirate Goofy (with barely any line) And I ran to him! ​

I love this ride - we always seem to get stuck on it, as well.

[Now before I show our photo let me just tell you our experience with characters, because I forgot to post this along with our Donald photo. Throughout this trip we stopped for many, many (MANY) characters! And EVERY time we'd get to the front of the line they'd go have some nut pie, or check on their mine, or go have a cookie break, or a milk break. Every. Stinkin'. Time. It became a joke of the trip.

ISNT HE CUTE?!

He is so cute - we have never seen him...

[After we finally got off the ride Pat wanted to go to his favorite ride! But on our way there I saw this cuties!

Cute! I've never seen these guys either...

So some how we ended up going to....

And for the rest of the day I was singing "ITS A GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW!!!" Ugh, I swear that song was stuck in my head the whole trip.

Ok - I will comment on this... CoP is one of my all time favorite things to do at Disney... As a matter of fact - I was just listening to that song on my way to town today (yes, I have the MK CD in my car)... I always listen to the Welcome song, CoP and Splash... LOL If I ever get in an accident, and my cd player continues to play - the EMTs are going to think I am insane... Espcially if I can't skip the Small World song.

[Then we went on Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger SPIN!

It was so cool. Pat was so happy with his score and then....the ride stops, the lights turn on (real dark ride killjoy) and our scores get wiped. Luckily thats around the time they took our photo!

Can you just see how happy we were?? This time the wait was 10-15 minutes. UGH!

This is one of our fav rides... And I am sorry - we were just talking about this today, how we like it so much better than TSMM at DHS... DD was even saying how she didn't care if we did TSM at all - LOL I said that we had to do it, at least, once - just because we can.

[After that we wanted to get some drinks and stopped at the Cheshire cat cafe.

I got a frozen lemonade and Pat got an ice coffee.

Looks delicious... Can't say I've ever been there... I just can't wait to get my cream cheese pretzel at the launching pad...

[Next we went on Snow Whites Scary Adventure! BUT I DIDNT TAKE ANY PICS! I have no clue why! I was probably just too excited. But dont worry! We went on it other days so there will be pics then!

I took a photo of this store though! LOVED IT! And I loved how the ceiling had gems sticking out of it!

Now I was starting to get tired already at this point so we started to head towards the exit. We decided to just do Space tomorrow since we'd be in MK again.

LOVED these guys!

We got some PP and headed to find the boat to Fort Wilderness for our 8:30 HDDR reservations. It was about....5-5:30. Way. Too. Early.

Up Next: MY FIRST SOUVENIR!

What a great update!!!

I guess we were really lucky to run into those guys seems no one else has seen them??

NOT BUYING A CD IS ONE OF THE THINGS I REGRET NOT BUYING! I looked at every single CD we saw, MULTIPLE TIMES, and I just couldnt choose! UGH! I guess I'll have to start looking online. I need some of that music in my life everyday!

Ohhhh we LOVED TSM! It was one of our FAVORITE rides! SO much fun! I'd say I liked it more than space ranger spin, but maybe thats just because of the wait we had during that one.

CREAM CHEESE PRETZEL?! Oh why did you wait to tell me about that until I'm sitting at home!
