Ill try to find some/take some later, but i have to go now! I have a couple things to do before we head back to Epcot for World showcase (did future world this morning).

When i return, it will be my report of My hour at animal kingdom, dtd, and EPCOT!!!

Have a magical afternoon, 'dudes'. haha.
 
another update for my fellow DISers...

today we are going to Animal Kingdom in the morning and then hitting up MGM tonight.

Tomorrow is Lunch w/ past astronauts and then we have tickets to see the shuttle launch.

Thursday we are doing Magic Kingdom!!!

and Friday is our last day to catch whatever we missed at whatever park.

I don't think that I will be able to get on the internet much after this during the rest of my vacation, so if i can't i will finish up the rest of my trip report when i get back!!! Keep posting away though!!! I love reading what you guys have to say!!!


Have a magical day!!!
 

The pictures of the room sure look nice. I would love to have DVC!

That lunch with the astronauts sounds really interesting. My dad would love doing something like that as he is a space nerd!

Can't wait until you get back and we get to read your full trip report!
 
Go and have a great time! I will be looking forward to the completed trip report when you have time to post...thanks for what you have done so far! It has gotten me even more excited about our trip in 38 days!!! :yay:
 
More! More! More! ;) Thanks for the pictures of the resort- we're staying there in 2 weeks and I love seeing what it will look like!!!

OK!!!

I FINALLY got all my pics up and have a few minutes to sit here and post!

I dont know how many posts there will be, but i'll do a post or 2 for each "place' we go!

Here goes nothin'

Downtown Disney
****************

We only went there for a little bit. My sister and I had an idea to spend 40 dollars on eachother and get each other something we think the other would like...

It went well! She got me a super awesome Wildcats, East High (high school musical) blanket and a pirates color book:banana:

Right away when we got there, I went to the pearl booth to pick my pearl out! Here's some pictures of the event!

EPCOT!
************************

We got there RIGHT at opening... (you HAVE to during the summer, the ride times are NOTHING to joke about!)

Here's some general pictures of the area! (some are in the morning and some in the afternoon)

The fam head right to soarin'. We grabbed fastpasses for it and split up. the parentals went to mission space and my sister and I head over to Livin with the land... ok... there are only so many times a person can ride this, and I think I hit my limit! THat was my 5th time riding it, but i go on it because eveytime i'm there, there is never any wait and it's in the air conditioning!


Then we head over to NEMO!!!!!

That is such a cute ride!! I just love the 'mine, mine mine, mine' seagulls at the beginning!!! We thought it would be at least a 20 minute wait, but we walked RIGHT on!!!! So far in both my times riding that, i've never had to wait even seconds for that ride, and that's EXACTLY the way i think Disney should be!:rotfl: After nemo, we head over to turtle talk with crush! I've never done that before, but it's something everyone should check out, it's super cute!!!

anyway, pictures....
At turtle talk...

Right after nemo...

By the time we were done with turtle talk, it was time to meet the parentals back at soarin...

That ride never get's old.... ever!

However, this was my 3rd time riding it, and i have yet to be in row 1! i'm always stuck in 2! I even asked this time to be in 1, and they wouldnt let me!
Hmf!:confused3

The parentals said they loved mission space! I think i may give it a whirl on friday...

Anyway, we ran over to test track, which only had a 30 minute wait and did that. it was awesome!!!

and then my sister wanted to go to ice station cool and try some coke.

I wasnt brave enough to try beverley, but she did and just about lost her lunch!:rolleyes1

We were sweating buckets by that time, and decided to go back to the resort for a break!

We arrived back at epcot around 7pm and did world showcase.... pics, as always!

Then...after some eating and shopping.. it was about time for Illuminations, we found a spot, and it was almost over and it started to sprinkel. We didnt think anything of it, but then one big crack of thunder, and it started to POUR!!!!!!!!!!

i have never seen so many people pack up and run so fast in my entire life, it was kinda funny!:rotfl:

once we got under spaceship earth (and looked like we had gone swimming in our clothes)... it stopped... then by the time we got to the entrance gates it started pouring EVEN HARDER!!!!!! i was wiping my face every 2 seconds and i couldnt see where i was goin! people were freaking out and it was so cool! haha.

the bus on the way back was PACKED with SOAKING wet people. but it was still fun!!!

And that ended my epcot day!

I actually have to go now, but the next post will be animal kingdom, and my post about how i conqured everest not once, but TWICE!!! woo hoo:banana: go me!!!! even though i had already been on it last year!:rotfl2:

Have a magical day guys!!!!

Thank you!!!

The pearl thing is a tradition i started in October. I know they have a few different stations, but the only one i know if is in Downtown Disney and in Epcot in the world showcase in Japan.

You can pick any oyster you want they are guarenteed to have one (or twins:) ) in them. It cost 14.95 to do that and then if you want you can get them set in a ring, necklace, earings, stuff like that then it's an additional charge.
For mine.... pearl, cage, and chain is was 46 bucks and some change. They have rings there that were four HUNDRED dollars... so you can go as high as you want with the quality of gold/silver, etc.

It's reallllllllly cool and always draws a crowd!!!
 
Great update! You and your sister are awesome. It is great that you guys get along so well and it looks like you have a lot of fun together.

I love your pearl! I also got a pearl on my recent trip but I did it in Japan. I loved it, it was so much fun and I am definitely going to have to do it again on my next trip.
