"Why is everybody wearing plastic jackets?!" June 2013 TR NEW X3 1/21 COMPLETED

Yes, I remember reading about that monorail incident. So tragic.

Ha, I had never heard of Mr. Wiggles.

Ooh Pixie Hollow. I have a feeling the fairies are gonna love the face paint.
 
Pixie Hollows! Day 5 (Part 4)

We made our way over to Adventureland and jumped in line for the Fairies!




This CM was so sweet! She was explaining to the kids how they were going to shrink down to fairy size!


Jessica and her new friend were watching the Tinkerbell movie and talking about who they have met so far!

Soon enough it was almost our turn to get shrunk down!


Jess and Dianne


Ready to be shrunk!

Jill caught up to us right in time before we shrunk!






Jessica and Vidia!

Vidia was awesome! Jessica was awestruck! It was so cute to watch!



She grabbed Jesss hair and asked what they were, and when Jessica told her pigtails Vidia said, Are you a pig?! Jessica said NO! And then Vidia said, Dont tails go on your petunia?! & Are humans different? It was so funny, I was cracking up!





Then we headed over to Tink, and Jessica was speakless!












I love Tink! Shes been my favorite since I was little!

We grew back to normal size and made our way back to Adventureland, I was starting to need a tropical fruity snack!

Up Next: Dole Whips And New Friends!
 
Dole Whips For Everyone! Day 5 (Part 5)

We saw a line for Jasmine and Aladdin and I HAD to meet them so we hopped in line! They went away but we were going to be in the group of people to meet them so we waited it out. During our wait I proposed the idea of me going to get Dole Whips for everyone! It was so hot out and we were all pretty low on energy and needed a quick pick-me-up!

The line was SO long! On both sides too! I jumped in the one I felt was shorter and I ordered for everyone and then made my way back with those heavenly creations!


SO GOOD!!

It was so hot out that they started melting immediately! We were wolfing them down to avoid dripping! Well and because theyre delicious!

Soon enough Jasmine and Aladdin came back out! They were THE cutest Jasmine and Aladdin ever! The walked everywhere together holding hands! So cute! We still had a while to wait until it was our turn. The little girl in front of us was showing us all of her Princess dolls. She told her mom that she wanted to go meet Mulan next and the mom said she didnt know where Mulan was, I told her that Mulan is at EPCOT.

Before we knew it, it was our turn! Jasmine and Aladdin walked over and got Jessica, they signed her autograph book and started talking to her about animals.




They were counting how many animals live in the palace!




They were so awesome!

We said goodbye and found the boys and made our way to check on BTM! It was up and running again so we jumped in line to use our fastpasses from when it was shut down!



After BTM, we decided to go on Splash Mountain since we were right there. We didnt have fastpasses and the wait was about 30 minutes but we decided to wait anyway! Uncle Mark decided not to join us for this ride.




Just look closely at my face& youre welcome.

After getting off Splash we decided to head back to Tomorrowland so we could wrap up what we didnt get to finish there. But on the way we stopped for some PhotoPass pics!


Everyone together!


The Fam! Princess hands!


Cousins picture!


Jess







We were all still wet from Splash Mountain so personally I find this picture hilarious!

We grabbed fastpasses for Buzz Lightyear and decided we were all extremely hungry and it was starting to drizzle again so we headed to grab a bite to eat at the Cosmic Rays.






Jess and her PBJ



Up Next: Galactic Battle with Buzz!
 
Our Final Night! Day 5 (Part 6)

We finished eating and hoped in line to use up our fastpasses!


Red Card! We’re awesome!









Everyone scored pretty well... except for me. I only got like 9,000… It’s safe to say my aim was extremely off! Oh well!

After re-entering the galaxy we headed back to Fantasyland to finish up there!





While in line I was talking to two little girls about their day and they told me all about the rides they went on and who they met! Their mom asked me where they could find Snow White and I told her that I wasn’t sure but I think a good place to meet her is Germany in EPCOT. She said thank you and told the girls they would try there tomorrow! They really wanted to meet her. I hope they did!



After the Tea Cups, we headed over to meet Ariel!



It wasn’t too long of a line but it had been a long day!



And soon enough it was our turn to meet the mermaid herself!









Ariel is awesome! We love her!

We made our way back to the main section of Fantasyland, stopping to take some pictures along the way.









We went on a few more rides, but my phone had died earlier in the day so I have no idea what they were. I do know that everyone went on It’s A Small World but for some reason I decided to pass on that. So I waited for them at the exit and then after that ride we decide to call it a night before the fireworks or parade started. We made our way out of the park and said goodbye to Dianne, Mark, Richie, and Joey and headed back to the hotel.

When we got back we went to the store to get a quick snack, I had to have a Mickey Bar before we left!




Yum!

After our treats we headed off to bed, tomorrow would be our last day!

Next Up: Last Day
 

I remember the monorail accident. It happened after my first trip. We were able to ride in the front once so I'm very thankful.

Great updates! So sad the trip report is almost at the end.

All in all it was a lovely day in the Magic Kingdom

------------------------------

The Beginning of the End! Day 6 (Part 1)

Wednesday, June 19th 2013

We woke up at about 8:00am this day. We were all sad that it was our last day in Disney but we wanted to make the most of it and squeeze in some last minute things we didn’t get to do.

Before we could head off and have fun we had to pack up. So Mom, Jill and I packed everything and then woke Jessica up. Dad wasn’t feeling well so we let him sleep in.


Jessica’s letter (We had changed the plan a little bit so when I read it to Jessica I just verbally changed the letter.)


My new Minnie ticket because mine was only a four day.

Mom, Jill, Jessica, and I were out of the room by 8:50 and on the bus to EPCOT by 8:55. We made it to EPCOT at 9:10 right after opening ad the line for bag check was so long it took ten minutes!

Mom went to grab a stroller, while Jessica, Jill, and I headed over to get in line for Test Track. None of us had been on the new Test Track but we were very excited to get to design our own cars. It was 9:30 when we got in line.



We made our way through the stand by line and got to design our cars.


Cute futuristic car!


Mine and Mom’s design!


Jill and Jessica’s design

Jill and Jessica ended up beating us by 2 points! They had 211 and Mom and I had 209!


So windy!

We were out of Test Track by 10:20 and made our way over to Mission Space. We did the easy side because Jessica was with us.







She was excited about this ride but nervous too. The wait for Mission Space was under ten minutes and we were done by 10:40.

After Mission Space we made our way to the other side of Future World. We parked the Stroller and headed into the Land.



Mom had grabbed Soarin’ fastpasses earlier before she joined us in line at Test Track so we had a little time to kill before we could use those so we decided to have lunch.






We saw these in line and I almost had to get one because I love Phineas and Ferb THAT much!


Jess was being a goofball at the table waiting for her food


Taking picture of the ceiling, naturally…


Jessica’s lunch


Jill’s lunch


Mom’s lunch


My dessert.. I LOVE Red Velvet! (I have noo idea what I had for lunch.)


Mom’s dessert


I don’t remember who’s this was but it was tastey

Up Next: Soarin’
 
Soarin’ To New Heights! Day 6 (Part 2)

We finished eating and headed right over to use our fastpasses at 11:45







We were in Concourse 1 and were “seated” by 12:05

Jessica loved Soarin’! She said “Next time we go on that know what I’m gonna do? Smile!” It was so cute!

After Soarin’ we headed out of the land and back over to our stroller.



We cooled off for a minute then we headed out. But before we left we had to do some PhotoPass pictures!




Tink!





Our photographer was great! I didn’t get her name but we all really like her and she was so nice and let us do all the different poses.



We said goodbye to EPCOT at 12:30 and headed to the bus platform. We were headed to DHS to meet up with Dad. He had dropped off the luggage and checked out of the hotel and headed over to DHS so we could finish up that park together.

Mom, Jill, Jessica, and I arrived at DHS at 12:50 and took some pictures in front of the Monsters University display!







We headed in the park and met Dad near the Streets of America. We all headed over to Tower of Terror. We were in line from 1:20-2:00. Jessica went through phases of ‘totally cool with it’ to ‘no way am I going on that ride’ multiple times.

While we were waiting in line we admired my new tan line. You may have gathered this from seeing pictures of me throughout this Trip Report but I am practically transparent and do not get color easily so this was a big deal!




Jill and Jess in line (it was sooooo hot out!)



As we got closer to the ride and inside, Jessica had a full on meltdown and I had to talk her into going on the ride and being brave. She ended up not enjoying it at all and crying during the ride but in the end she said it was “ookay”.


Ride pic, obvi!

After ToT, Jill really really wanted to go on Rock N’ Rollercoaster but no one else wanted to go with her and she didn’t want to go alone so I took one for the team and told her I’d go on it with her. The line was so extremely long, even the single rider line. We were in the single rider line for 50 minutes.

While we were waiting and riding RNR, Mom, Dad, and Jess were hanging out and having a snack.





We got back from RNR and joined the others and got a nice frozen lemonade. So delicious and refreshing!

Then Mom and Jill wanted to ride ToT one more time but RNR had gotten the best of me so I decided to wait this one out with Jess because we all knew she would not be riding that again.


Relaxing while waiting for the others.
After ToT we walked around the park making last minute purchases. We looked a T-Shirts and then headed to Writer’s Shop to get some snacks for later. And I got a book about Disney and some of the hidden secrets.



As we headed out of DHS we stopped to take some PhotoPass pictures at the Monsters University area.







We headed out of DHS at 5:05 and arrived back at POR at 5:25.

Up Next: Saying Goodbye :(
 
Heading Home :( Day 6 (Part 3)

We arrived back at Port Orleans Riverside at about 5:30 and began the great wait for the sad ride back to the airport.

Mom went into to get sandwiches for later so we could have Disney food while waiting in the airport. Dad got all the luggage, and Jill, Jessica, and I looked in the gift shop one last time.

While we were waiting outside for the Magical Express to come pick us up it started downing pouring out of nowhere. All of the Cast Members were rushing for cover.



There had been a few horse drawn carriages out and they were bringing them in for cover, the poor things were soaked.

At about 6:15 our bus came and we got loaded on. We were the first people so Mom and I took the first seats.



We stopped at a few other resorts and then made our way to MCO. We were running very early so we stopped near the Disney store right before security and had our sandwiches. I think we all got tuna.




THESE CHIPS ARE AMAZING! :lovestruc

We ate some of our food, put the left overs back in the bag and headed through security and made our way to our gate. We were there very early so there was little seating at our gate because a different flight was still there waiting to board.

Once that flight boarded we claimed our own little area and we all got comfortable because we had a while to wait. Luckily we had some more snacks! Our treats from The Writer’s Shop!


So good!


Jessica and her half eaten cupcake


My Carrot Cake Cookie


IT WAS SO GOOD!! Everyone neeeedsss to try this! I’m begging you eat one and keep me in mind next time you’re in DHS!

Jessica decided to open her Minnie Mouse house that she had gotten and play with it in the airport to pass time.



As time got closer to boarding time we packed up and got ready to get in line. I’m not sure how it started but Jessica and I had a full on tickle fight and were rolling around on the floor tickling each other and laughing and having a great time. Nobody else was particularly amused by the scene we were causing, but it was a great time.

We boarded the plane and soon enough it took off and landed back at home.


Jessica stopped to wrap Simba


It was much colder at home than it had been in Florida so Jessica put on Dad’s jacket to keep warm.

Dad went and grabbed the car while the rest of us grabbed the luggage and headed out to the loading dock thingy.

We were home in about an hour and all went to sleep immediately. We were exhausted!

----------------

The day in summary:

Weather: HOT
Food: DELICIOUS! Red velvet whoopee pie! Carrot Cake cookie!
Mood: Bittersweet and sad
Favorite ride: Soarin’

The trip in summary:

We had such a great trip! Jessica loved Disney World and talks about it all the time and how much she wants to go back! We had so much fun and made such great memories and I’m so blessed that we were able to go to Disney, have great weather, and a great time.

I am happy to announce: I will be going back to Walt Disney World in 125 DAYS! EEP!!!

This is the link to the Trip Report for that!

I had such a great time writing this Trip Report and getting to talk to all of you! Thank you so much for reading! I hope you all have magical days, months, years, lives, etc. And I can’t wait to write more!

Again thank you so much for reading! It has been so much fun getting to interact with all of you! Thank you! :goodvibes
 
Awwww I forgot about those letters. Still such a wonderful idea.

I love Seasons so much. I'll say this, you may not remember what you had for lunch, but that desert makes up for it.

Wow, you all sure got a lot in on your last day. Kudos!

Thanks for sharing your story Grace and isn't it always better to finish a TR with another trip just around the corner?
