Kat, you looked so beautiful at the ceremony... and the two of you looked so much in love in all your pictures!
Congratulations!
Kathy
Thanks so much!
I always used to say we'd do it at 10 years and do it in Disney. Now I am hoping (secretly) to do a big one at 20 or 25 years in Disney!
Thanks! It was a great find, I bought it at oldnavy online for $24!
I was working on the next real TR update last night so it'll be up by tonight, I promise!

We were up at about 7am. We decided to use some of those MANY QS dining credits for breakfasts. No food porn, we didnt bring the camera up to the food court. I know KC got an adult platter and I had the fruit pancakes. I remember because KC thought I was asking what I should get, not what we should share, and he told me once we got to the table that he didnt want the pancakes. LOL. We took our extra drinks (you get 2 full size drinks EACH) back to our fridge for later. I'm not complaining about having the drinks, but ti seems silly, just offer us some fruit as an option instead or something.
We had company coming today! My best friend, L and her daughter H and husband M were coming! We just saw them about a month before in NY but I hadnt seen her in years prior to 4 years ago so we had making up to do! AND M is very anti Disney! I know!!! So I had plans to convert him. I figured if anyone can convert someone to Disney its me and KC. Plus L & H have resident passes and love it as much as I do (because of me BTW).
They arrived on property around 9:30am. We met then at the parking lot of POFQ and took them back to show them the room. We hung out for a little bit and discussed what to do first. One of the only reasons M came was because I could get him in for free as a CM, so we tired to make the plans around him as well. He had very few requests. He wanted to ride Star Tours and TOT. So off to DHS we went.
I informed him before we left that he would be in some pictures, if he liked it or not. He had been warned. So as soon as we were through the turnstiles I stopped at a PP photographer. He didnt like it, but he was in the pictures!
The CM had a good time with us tho, so it was funny. We were headed towards TOT first. I have ridden it before and did NOT like it, so I sat that one out. The rest of the gang went and I wandered the shops and sat on a bench and people watched. KC had never ridden it before and we both knew hed hate it. He hates the dropping feeling, but he went anyways. Needless to say I cant post the video because he said some un Disney things while on the ride. But my user on YouTube is TinkyKat and it's posted there.
Some pics instead .
H getting geared up to ride.
Why am I going on this ride?
I love this kid, she cracks me up
CM who scared my friend L by sneaking up on her.
They are front row, left. LOL. Poor KC.
We made a stop in the villains shop and I used my CM discount to get M a jersey he really wanted. Then we were walking our way back towards Star Tours. We saw that the 11:30 Indy Stunt show was letting in, so we headed on in. I hadnt seen it since I was about 18 and KC had never seen it. We got decent seats too.
I was trying to capture how excited H was. She was so into it. I LOVE seeing Disney through the eyes of a kid. It makes it that much better of an experience. She is the most fun kid too, we have such a great time with her.
We all enjoyed the show a lot. It was nice to sit and relax and just enjoy it. The non planning was oddly easy.
I stopped after the show to use one of my free popcorn coupons and we strolled our way over to The Muppets ride. M had wanted to check it out as well, so into the big queue room we went.
I asked KC to take some pictures of random stuff but they all came out too dark. I hadnt done this one in at least a few trips so it was def fun to see again. Now we knew that the furry guy at the end came out into the theater (What the hecks his name?) but L & M didnt. They were both like little kids when he came out, pointing and giggling. I knew at that moment we had hooked M and that we would be good to go for the rest of the day!
We left Muppets smiling, and went straight to Star Tours. KC opted to sit out, he wasnt over the dropping feeling of TOT and didnt want to chance feeling funky on STs. I have never been on it before this, so I was a bit nervous. We walked right in, barely a wait. I sat with M and we had a grand old time laughing and giggling through it. He enjoyed it. I had fun too.
M also WANTED a pic here so we snapped away!
When we came out into the dump shop, where we were meeting KC, he was on the phone. He told us to give him a minute so we shopped around and I bought KC a silly thing he always said he wanted to try, astronaut ice cream. It was ok. We all tried some. Kind of like an antacid but better tasting.
When he got off the phone he had a whopper of a story to tell us. It was his brother calling from NY. He told KC congrats you are an uncle and he got all excited thinking his brothers girlfriend was pregnant. Until he told KC Yep, shes 6. WHAT!? He never knew about her and the girl finally decided to let him in on the fact that he had a kid he had no idea existed. So that stemmed a lot of convos for a while, and a few "baby mama" jokes. Just an FYI, we met her once we got back but now the mother is being strange and not letting his brother see his kid. They are in the middle of court dates so he can get visitation of her. She turned 7 in November and we never got to give her the gifts we got.
Anyway
The lines for GMR and TSM were too long and there wasnt anything else of interest to M in DHS, so we convinced him to head to Epcot. He was against the MK still (fine, whatever) but we convinced him he would like Epcot. H was in her glory having her daddy with her in Disney, so he was hard pressed to say no to her.
We took the boats from DHS to Epcot. When we got on the driver of the boat had this duck IN HIS HANDS. He was feeding it. It ended up staying on the front of the boat the whole way over because the guy was feeding it. We called him the duck wrangler!
Since we came in the gateway we decided just to hit up the world showcase first. We went to France in search of some food. I didnt think they did a QS meal in the bakery there, but KC asked and it turns out they do!
We got a ham and cheese croissant, chocolate mousse and a large drink for one credit. The éclair was for H.
I love that Sammie! So good. Not enough for us to be full but we figured we could share something else, god knows we had enough credits.
We were all hungry actually. So we decided to eat in Morocco. KC and I used some of our QS credits for lunch for everyone.
I had my beloved and always craved, schwarma platter.
Everyone enjoyed the food, we shared all around. The baklava was particularly good that day too!
We wandered our way over to Japan. M was most excited to see this country, hes huge into Japanese stuff. I took some pictures and we all wandered the shop. Dont you just LOVE this shop. I can play in there forever! We just missed the candy lady, so that was out, but KC obliged with his really awesome impression of her. Cracks me up every time because he really sounds like her. I have to get him to record it one day.
My fav hidden mickey!
We did stop for some plum wine in the back of the store. L bought for us both, I even got the plum (which I gave to KC). We picked up a set of chop sticks for Pants while we were there as well.
We made a quick stop at the New Orleans F&W booth for some Bread Pudding. We all had a taste and LOVED it. I remembered liking it the year before as well.
KC and I originally had a reservation at Boma that night, at 6:45pm. We had invited L & Fam along but M didnt really think hed like anything on the menu, so we were going to part ways before that. BUT we had so much fun we decided not to go to the ressie. It was the one dinner I really wanted, but spending time with my BFF is much better than Boma, even if it is my fav dinner on property.
So further into the showcase we went and at some point KC and I told them we were abandoning our plans and we wanted to hang with them for a while more. We hit up Germany. We were very excited to go to one of the stores because it is the same name as M. So we took pics under the store sign for him.
We stopped to check out the train village too. I love this! It always makes me think of my Austrian Grandpa and how we had a train village under our Christmas tree every year when I was a kid. Then we noticed something funny the village was being over run with giant lizards .ok giant to the small size of the people In the village.
See the lizard crawling up the house?
There were even some lizards riding the train too!
I never noticed this scene before, and thought it befitting our 2nd honeymoon trip.
Another drama had been brewing in the form of KCs new sneakers KILLING his feet. He always swears he will be fine, but this time they were hurting him, a lot. We stopped a lot because they hurt. We tried everything to make them feel better. He also only had these shoes to wear, so it was an issue. So we asked our friends to take us to Wallmart that evening so we could get some insoles or something for KC. My feet werent doing that great either, even tho I had different shoes, my feet were just not used to all the walking.
KC sat out of Malestrom so he could rest his feet, that and finish the Peach Snap we had gotten when we walked past China. Note:thats Peach Snap #2 this trip. So the rest of us went on. When we got off the ride, we were actually trapped waiting for the movie to end! That never happened to me before! We plopped on the bench to wait.
We made the trek to the busses and headed back to POFQ to get their car and head to the heavenly place that is Wallmart.
Next up A late night with Pirates, Ghosts and Complainers.
We had company coming today! My best friend, L and her daughter H and husband M were coming!

Great update. I am starving now...thanks! LOL! I have read about that ferry boat guy and the ducks before...I can;t remember it all, but I think there a few ducks that are really friendly with him, and he's been there for years. I wish I could remember all of it but I read about him 2 years ago. LOL!

Okay, first I'm in.
I think it's cool he helped plan, but did you like it? I mean, I don't think I would really WANT help from Rob. I am pretty anal on these things and I learned not to ask if I didn't really want to know ... 
I am so glad you worked through things. Can't wait to read more. But you know I'm kinda slow at this, right?

It was so funny, we were all amazed!
Thanks Rosie!
I usually dont have shoe issues either, but i bring several pairs everytime too.
That stinks about the platter, we have never had a bad meal there, its one of my favs!
What a fantastic day with your friends and it really sounded as though M had a good time too
He did, he was taking pictures all day like a mad man, it was really cute!

Hey! Thanks for coming to read! I did enjoy having him help me, which is weird but it was cool. He knows as much about Disney as me, he just acts like he doesn't so if he puts his mind to it, he can plan an amazing trip!
Um, yea Japan is great until you have six year old boy who wants every transformer and power ranger in sight
Great day. I love how you reconnected with your old friend!
LOL Yea KC stares at the giant figurines of video game characters that cost a million bucks, its like the big kid version of those toys!

We were up at 7:30 and out the door within an hour. We brought one little friend with us on this trip....
This guy:
He is a Mickey's Monster. It says on his tag he likes to get into photo's and we thought he was so cute, so he came with us. As you can see we left him on the 2nd bed on the pillows. This matters later, trust me.
I'm back for the next excerpt! This is beautiful and ....This was the view from the room, right outside our door.
Nice huh?! Take note of it too, it comes into play later in the week. Lots of foreboding this update huh? Sorry it'll all come around later.
Cool!!!!I stole some of these from V as her's came out better than mine. But we did remember to take pics!
So after chatting for a bit we all headed into the World Showcase for some good eats.
And next time there will be lots of food, fun & friends!

So we forfeited our dinner ressie at Boma in favor of more friend time. A great choice, in my opinion. So we were driving over to Wallmart. What you need to understand about us, we LOVE Wallmart. There arent any in NYC and the Florida prices alone make us squeal like little girls. Yep KC too.
We got some insoles for both of us. I also bought new blister block and we bought some cheap drink mix packets. I think we spent like $20 on everything, cant beat that. We checked out a payless for a possibility of KC buying new shoes, but neither of us liked anything we saw there or in Wallmart. So we decided the insoles were good enough.
Back to Disney property we went. We went to DTD since wed all be splitting up around 9ish. KC & I decided to go to MK for the EMHs until midnight. It worked out well because H had school the next day, they had taken her out for the day to come see us. With that plan in tact, we shopped a bit in the WoD store there. While we were walking around L picked up a small Stitch but put it back for some reason. She collects Stitch. So of course I went to another register and bought it for her and snuck it into her bag.
Hunger was setting in right about then, so we went to one of KCs fav Disney food spots, Earl of Sandwich. We used 2 more QS credits. We shared them both between us. Forgot food porn sorry, we really were hungry. We had an Italian and Hawaiian, a potato salad and a bread pudding and 2 drinks. They arent the biggest sandwiches ever, but they are really yummy! We saved the bread pudding (which was more like a bread pudding flavored muffin) to bring back to the room. It was time for us to say goodbye to our friends. Usually we see them a few times each trip but this was the only day we had planned together. So a teary goodbye was had, as always, and they headed to shop around for a bit and we went to the buses.
We decided to hop on the first available bus and take it to whatever resort and then hop a MK bus from there. The first bus that came was going to Pop, so we got on. We only waited a few short minutes at Pop at the MK stop and we were at the MK in no time!
Look its still Halloween.
Of course there was PP-ing.
I love this plaque. Didnt it used to be square tho?
We stopped for a treat, because I can hardly walk buy without stopping.
KC had his first creamcicle, which we heard of from his boss and was told to try. He LOVED it.
We walked onto Pirates (one of KCs top 3). After visiting with Capt Jack we headed to visit some Grim Grinning Ghosts. Enjoyable as always. Its so hard for me not to recite the thing in the main room, I dont wanna ruin it for other people but I know ALL the words. Since there wasnt much rhyme or reason to our MK night we walked towards Fantasyland and most things had lines, so we went into Philharmagic. I cry EVERY time the Aladdin scene starts. Its so exactly Disney that the show always gets to me. LOVE it.
We never rode the speedway in the dark and thought it would be neat, so we did that next. The wait was really short and we rode in the same car. I took the traditional driving pic
Then I tried to take pics while we were moving tried being the operative word there.
I have this weird fascination with the switch between Tomorrow Land and the Main Street/Hub area, its so weird to me with the rocks and all the metal near it. So I tend to take pics of it.
And this is one of my fav pics I took this trip.
We stopped for the PP pics on the side of the castle, naturally.
Since the Halloween decorations we still up I sent KC to take pics of the statues in the hub while I plopped down on the bench and people watched/stared at the castle. He did a beautiful job, I think.
He figured out how to use the timer on my camera and surprised me with a smooch pic!
He took a bunch of high res pics for me, sicne there were barely any people left there, a rare thing. I enjoyed sitting on the bench together and just being near the castle. It makes me so happy to just be there its hard to even express. It truly is a happy place.
It was almost midnight so we decided to head down main street and catch our bus.
A few last pics of the Halloween stuff on the way out.
We saw this in the sweet shop. KC really wanted one and it was only like $12, he almost got me to buy it but we decided to wait.
When we were walking to the bus there was this random lady and her kid trying to hop the fence to walk across the street where the busses go down. Security stopped her and she was complaining about being too tired to walk all the way around. She complained for a good 5 minutes, while KC and I talked under our breath about how stupid it was. We were all tired and all ready to go home and none of us are going kamikaze over a fence! In the end they told them to stay at our bus stop (not their resort BTW, just the closest stop to them) and then rode back to POFQ with us and got a personal ride back to wherever they were staying. Talk about going above and beyond. I was bugged because you know they did NOT appreciate it, at all.
We got back to the room around 12:30 and after settling in and getting set up for the next day, we were crashed out.
Next up CM shopping!!!!
We got some insoles for both of us. I also bought new blister block and we bought some cheap drink mix packets. I think we spent like $20 on everything, cant beat that.

Since the Halloween decorations we still up I sent KC to take pics of the statues in the hub while I plopped down on the bench and people watched/stared at the castle. He did a beautiful job, I think.
He figured out how to use the timer on my camera and surprised me with a smooch pic!
He took a bunch of high res pics for me, sicne there were barely any people left there, a rare thing. I enjoyed sitting on the bench together and just being near the castle. It makes me so happy to just be there its hard to even express. It truly is a happy place.
It was almost midnight so we decided to head down main street and catch our bus.
A few last pics of the Halloween stuff on the way out.
We saw this in the sweet shop. KC really wanted one and it was only like $12, he almost got me to buy it but we decided to wait.
When we were walking to the bus there was this random lady and her kid trying to hop the fence to walk across the street where the busses go down. Security stopped her and she was complaining about being too tired to walk all the way around. She complained for a good 5 minutes, while KC and I talked under our breath about how stupid it was. We were all tired and all ready to go home and none of us are going kamikaze over a fence! In the end they told them to stay at our bus stop (not their resort BTW, just the closest stop to them) and then rode back to POFQ with us and got a personal ride back to wherever they were staying. Talk about going above and beyond. I was bugged because you know they did NOT appreciate it, at all.
We got back to the room around 12:30 and after settling in and getting set up for the next day, we were crashed out.
Next up CM shopping!!!!

Hey Kat!
I just loved the last 2 updates! How fun was that? You got in some great time with friends, were able to experience Disney through the eyes of a child, and finished it up with some lovey-dovey couple time at the MK!
K.C. did a fabulous job with the Castle photos... and I must remember to get pix of those character statues, I always forget!

I had no idea you made another trip! I just happened upon this while browsing the DIS trying to avoid housework. I'm so glad I found it. Sounds like a great trip so far other than the dining plan dilemma. 
How lovely that you had the opportunity for a "second honeymoon" and vow renewal as well. I'm so glad you found your way through a rough patch.
Looking forward to more!
