[MonsterWDWmom]

I can't wait to read more about your Magic Kingdom day!

Barb seems great and I hope next time I am at the park I can meet her!!

 

[Alysa]

What a beautiful sunrise. I'd love to stay at BLT one day. Love that you can just walk right over. Cant wait to hear about the fireworks cruise! I've always wanted to do that too!
2016 for the Star Wars marathon for us. See you then! I can't wait to read your review of it if you do register!

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Holy, last full day already???? (Seriously, I'm not joking, I'm genuinely surprised.)

Haha, I still get a kick out of all that SHAMPOO!!!!!!

Ooh an out front Photopass and nobody in behind. That is so rare.

Aww Barb!!!! Wow, 30 years???? I tell you, she pulls that off amazingly. She is truly a perfect example of a CM.

Brenda the first trip is already booked for November for Saratoga Springs for five night. We also gave our daughter and her friend six nights at Kidani for their December trip. Her friend doesn't know yet.

I think VGF are the only ones being sold now

I'm pretty impressed by your 8 hours of the 24 hour Rock Your Disney Side. I'm glad it wasn't as busy or crazy as the last one you experienced.

I would really enjoy seeing all of the creative costumes.

I love that Disney cop who was able to spot you for the "troublemaker" you are. Both citations were absolutely well-deserved!

 

[natebenma]

Wow, those colors in that last sunrise shot! A-MAZ-ING!

What did you do with all of the people in your train station photopass shot?

The pictures with Marie are so cute, but not as cute as the ones with Barb! What a treasure! We don't stick around for parades and I don't think I would know who she was if I hadn't read about her on trip reports, but I will be on the lookout next time.

 

[MEK]

Not even close to catching up on your TR, but I enjoyed your last update. What a beautiful sunrise and 43 minutes to watch it sounds wonderful! Love it!

Ahh Barb - I did notice her on the DME video. How wonderful that she thoroughly enjoys each and every day of her job!

 

[courtneybelle]

Sighhh that is one beautiful sunrise.

I love the kitty pose with Marie! So cute.

I LOVED Barb in the ME video and I'm very surprised it's been 30 years because of how young she looks! Hopefully I get to see her in person sometime.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

wow, last day already - and what sounds like a full one at that! Starting with a lovely sunrise too!

Wow - that is amazing that Barb is still so enthousiastic about her job after 30 years. I think there are very few people who can feel the same way about their job!

 

[katt789]

Yay for me finally getting caught up again lol!!

I do have to say, despite not having great experiences at Tony's food wise, I'd still go back lol! We've always had amazing servers! And Em's dish looks delicioius!!

The sunrise over BLT is beautiful! I'll admit, I had actually thought about waking up to watch it last week, but the comfort of that bed won me over instead

YAY FOR BARB! She is seriously perfect and fantastic! So glad you ran into her!

The 24 hr event looks awesome! We definitely enjoyed a good around 20 hours of Disney that day over in MK, I only wish #1: we had napped longer so we could've stayed out longer into the evening #2: it was planned better! there was SUCH a lull of "nothing" and "wait times too long" between the fireworks and the special stuff coming out (it all started at 2am) that we were wiped and bored!!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

With the school year it would be hard to do - especially if you factor in travel. (You're a teacher right??)

I hear ya! Winning the lottery would = never ending Dis planning for that next trip. At least you have fabulous DL photos that can serve as a incentive to plan that next trip.

Yes, I teach, AND I'm from the East Coast of Canada, so flights are always long and terribly expensive!

Endless Disney trip planning, and endless trips. I'd go for a day if I could!

Thanks about my DL pics. But speaking of fabulous pictures, those sunrise pictures are beautiful!

Sad it's the last full day and Barb's been at WDW for THIRTY YEARS????

 

[khaleesi]

Thanks for including the 24-hour update!!!! I love that you can just decide "hey, I think I'll go to Disney today!". How fun for you! I really the Walt and Mickey statue... I'm pretty sure that's the first time I've seen a picture of it!

Speaking of the 24-hour party... I read a couple recaps of people who started at WDW in the morning, hopped on a plane, and finished the day at DL. My anxiety went into overdrive just thinking about it. Really cool memories I'm sure, but I simply don't have that type of adventurous streak.

LOVE the sunrise photo!

I had read about Barb in someone's trip report before I went on my trip, so I was so excited to see the DME video about her!! What a blessing she is to others and what a blessing for her to be able to do something she obviously loves!

 

[IheartDDuck]

Hi friend!!!! I can't believe it's the last full day on your TR!

Beautiful sunrise pictures. I loved being in the Magic Kingdom on the 24 hour day and see sunrise and dawn. It was absolutely beautiful. Under all other circumstances, ain't no way I'm up that early.

A sticker sash! Awesome. I would love to have her job too. It's people like that who make Disney the special place that it is.

 

[francis6306]

Yup… I'm back. And I'm so far behind. But I'm here… and well… I'm wanting to catch up! Fingers crossed! I'm way back on page 99!

So much to catch up with on the dream suite tour! Wow. Thanks for all those pictures! It's just divine!

Love the DLR intermission! One day, I will get out there and stay! Carsland looks like so much fun.

Mmm… Carrot Cake Cookies! You know, I tried that back in March! It was worth every penny and I wish I could get another one RIGHT.NOW.

Okay, I made it to page 121. More reading tomorrow. LOL!

 

[JulieODC]

Ahhhh, what beautiful sunrise pictures!! Seriously amazing!

Looks like a fun morning in the park! Most people (guilty here!), rush past some of those interesting and important features on Main St!

 

[francis6306]

Okay, Back to reading! LOL

Ouch to the forgetting the timing of the MSEP for your CRT ressie! I'm sure that they were quite understanding since it probably happens quite a bit. Your room is beautiful!

How sweet that you shared your swag with those little girls! That is the best part of Disney. All that pixie dust rubbing off and people feeling very giving and generous!

It is amazing that you have survived Mission:Space! You are such a Rebel! Do they catch you often on the Star Tours ride???

So exciting (again) about Em being engaged! The ring is really pretty! I hope that he has a good understanding of how important Disney trips are to her! Happy Wive=Happy Life! Wedding planning is ALMOST as much fun as Disney trip planning!

I'm planning on watching Wishes from the Poly in July!

ETWB- Wouldn't it be nice if they would mix it up a little? Have a couple of different stories for Belle to work with? Why don't they ask me these things??????

Thanks for the trivia from the KTTK tour! I want to do that someday!

OOOH!! OOOH!! Tea at the GF! This is on my "Must do" for my July trip!!

LOL at the fight that you witnessed at the water park! I dunno why people get so jealous…

I am jealous that you are so close that you can decide at lunchtime to head over to the 24 hour event.

I was JUST about to type out "Is this Barb the same one from the ME Video with Gary? LOL! You answered that question…

Oh no… I'm out of links in posts! See how well I was able to catch up! Reading on and off all day! (After church that is!)

 

[LuvEeyore]

Thanks for the intermission for the 24 hour party. Glad you were able to go.
Love the sunrise over Bay Lake. You are on your last full day...so sad this report is almost over What to read next?
Another couple of trip reports maybe

 

[PlutosRHM55]

Just did another round of catching up! And just in time because I see we're heading towards the end. Good thing I'm graduating soon or I would've missed out on what I assume will be a fabulous conclusion!

So jealous you got to go on the KTTK! I've always wanted to do that. I wanted to do it for my upcoming trip, but I'm only going to be there for less than a week so it would be more of a hassle and take away from unscheduled time. One day I will do it! To see the backstage area where the parade floats are and the utilidors... OMG, that would be beyond cool!

Looks like you had a great time at the Rock Your Disney Side event for the short time you were there! I'm surprised Em didn't get dressed up along with her fiance. Too bad. I know if you had planned ahead to go with her, you two would've been rocking your Disney Side BIG TIME.

LOL @ housekeeping and their lifetime supply of shampoos! You'd think Disney would start to run out of that stuff when they leave you that much just asking for a restock.

Lazy River is seriously an oxymoron. As you said, the majority of your time is trying to get in the tube, which is far from a lazy task. Not that I complain, I usually am one of those kids without a tube using up all my energy running around the lazy river, (no shame), but I can also appreciate a nice relaxing ride around so I understand the struggle.

Oh, Barb. I'm so happy to hear she's made it on the DME video! She's also the CM lady who dances during the Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It! Parade, right? I've never met Barb in person, but I've heard so many wonderful stories about her. Hope I'll see her at the end of this month when I head on down!

Can't wait to read about the rest of your trip!

 

[teekathepony]

Wow. That's some sunrise. I don't blame you for dedicating 43 minutes to that beauty!
Great Photopass pictures! You guys ARE well coordinated with the orange pumpkins, because blue and orange are complimentary colours.
I love Barb, she's so awesome. 30 years? Wow, I never would have guessed!

Hi Brenda, I don't remember when I commented last, so will stay with what I read this morning.

What a great way to spend your last morning. That sunrise is priceless. I like using the last day to visit each park hitting what was missed or need to be done again. Can't wait to read about your day.

As for Barb. I have seen her just never took the time to talk with her. I think she looks to young for working at WDW for 30 years. It just goes to show what working at a job you love can keep you young.
