Why do we have to stand in all these lines?...a TR by DM w/lots of PIX...Completed!

[Disneyolic]

The Land is one of the most hectic places I've been to at WDW! When we were there, the escalator was broken, so everyone had to use the stairs! Oh, I loved the story about Crush! Never done it, but he sure sounds cool! Can't wait to ride the new Nemo ride!

I noticed that was constantly busy. I don't remember it being busy when we were there last time, but that was in November 2003...before Soarin'. You will definitely love Crush. Nemo is cute.

:I liked the Turtle better than Monsters too (I loved Monsters the first time, but it wasn't as funny after that)

They were both pretty funny. I guess it does depend on how many times you go on them.

We did "commando style" sort of the day we were in Magic Kingdom with my sister's family... Maybe not "commando" but more "TOUR GUIDE RENEE" style I guess.. My brother-in-law told me he'd buy me a "flag like those Brazilian groups" next time, because I deserved it! We were only together that one day, and my sister tends to be a "scatterbrain" (said lovingly, of course! ) so I had to make sure everyone was staying "focused"!

Which day was that one? Where you in the MK on Tuesday?

One of those things having to be not getting to meet you.
I totally understand, but it would have been great to me you in person! NEXT TIME! And, I love the posts from the Pre-Trippie - it makes the reading that much more fun! Great idea!

Yes, that was definitely a big bummer! I think that was a "lowest" day.

I have 2 plans based on how the kids may or may not feel. One for if a little rest in the stroller works and one for if they all need a break.

That sounds like a good idea. I just had basic plans of "must dos" and "would like to dos" and then anything else was just added fun. I think it will get easier as the kids get older because you just never know how young ones are going to react and when they are going to crash. One minute full of energy, the next out cold...

Youre plan for the photopass cd is exactly what i plan to do!!! I want to photopass as many pictures as possible to make that cd worthwile!! I wish they were storing all the ride pics on it too, not just test track. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Post ya soon

Yes - we were in MK on Tuesday - 8am until 12 midnight! We have the blisters and SOME people (not I, of course!) the chafing, to prove it!!

We went to WDW when Dana had JUST turned 3, then didn't return until last year, when she was almost 13. She asked if we could go back this year again, and just do "the favorites", so we thought about it, and then got an GREAT employee rate at the Dolphin, so we returned.. We thought it would be a more relaxing, laid back trip. NOT! We were just as busy, if not more so.. and we still can't figure out why! Dana says - "how about we go back AGAIN next year and REALLY try to do just the favorites?" But I think she's pressing her luck! I want to do a beach/island type of vacation next year. But, I guess, "we'll see"....

That was the plan anyway. I wished we had been able to get more photos but we really were side tracked by the kids a lot of the times....

Glad you came over here. And I didn't even have to pimp out my TR this time. Hope you enjoy it!

We weren't there that long but now I wished we had at least tried to call each other. That would have been the opportunity...

Yessiree! Disney World is definitely addictive. I think if I had the money to do it every year the way I really want to do it then we probably would. We really want to stay at either the Yacht Club again or Poly next time.

Thanks for the installment! What a bummer about the photopass guy... Oh, and for the lunch--did you have to get a sugar-free brownie or did you choose that?

Hoping you get your computer soon,
Denise

Hi Denise. We did get a choice for desserts. I think the other choices were cheesecake (which I do not like), cookie, and sugar-free pudding. I didn't notice the sugar-free part of the brownie and most of the time sugar-free isn't so bad IMO. This was just yucky and dry. Rob didn't even like it. I didn't need the dessert anyway .

No computer today and, since it's the weekend, I guess maybe not until Monday.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Disneyolic]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll see what I can do about getting an update for Sunday or Monday. That is when I would have probably updated anyway. I will just have to work a bit harder at it because of this laptop and uploading more pictures onto Photobucket. I promise everyone I will not leave them high and dry...

Hey DM!
Just wanted to say happy friday!

 

[Disneyolic]

Hey DM!
Just wanted to say happy friday!

You mean Happy Friday the 13th? Bwaaaaa-aaaah-aaaaaaaaahhhhhh! That's supposed to sound dark and ominous....

Awww... You didn't scare me that much =)

Okay, maybe a little =)

 

[wendygrace]

Ok missie! Your installments are much too short! I want more!!!

 

[Disneyolic]

Keep them wanting more....isn't that a good thing?

2. I thought that pushing a heavier stroller would give me better exercise for all the extra eating I may be doing at the park. In fact, I think it helped because with all those desserts, I never gained any weight. I did not lose any, but I didn't gain any and that's what I am happy about.

That's great that you didn't put on any weight DM hope I'm the same
