Your life just fell apart & came back together,what are you going to do next? TR UP!

[Trentmom]

I think this trip will so much fun since you now have a better partner in your life. Bob sounds awesome

What is up with CInderella in that pic? what was she looking at ?

Seriously, kids look so cute. Love seeing how they change each year

I take a picture of Trent every year in front of Mr Potato Head Statue at DTD and so fun to see how different he looks each year

POFQ! It seems to be the resort of choice of so many PTRs I’m reading – Including mine! Oh, yes, DC traffic… Gotta love traffic that starts at 3pm in Maryland and doesn’t end until 7pm once you are deep deep into Virginia If you can get on the beltway by 2pm that day, you should be able to sail all the way down to 95 South without any issues. Hopefully, whenever you get to POFQ your room will be ready, since your dates are kinda in the off season, right? If not, I had the same suggestion that everyone else seem to have: DTD!

The Spirit of Aloha looks so yummy! I remember it being fun when I was a kid, but I remember nothing about the food – but I’m sure the menu has changed in the past 20 odd years anyway I really want to go now that I saw that food! I’m sure you guys will have a great time! It’s all about the company you keep LOL The kids look so little! What cuties!

I'm thinking you need to have a Dis-meet in SC

DHS is my husband's absolute favorite park! We never knew it when it was MGM, so sorry about the name difference.

I love your Chef Mickey's pictures. We're trying there for dinner, hopefully, and we've never been there before. I know my kids are going to love it! We're NOT doing Hollywood and Vine for the first time, and I'm kind of glad about that. We're going to do lunch at Sci-Fi instead, which Juju is really stoked about. She picked it...but then again, she picks most things...

I'm loving your pictures from trips past! How much fun. And it is amazing how quickly they grow, isn't it?

I always say I am going to try and take a same pic ever year.. but I think the only one I have gotten is the Bruce the shark in Epcot. Can't really tell too much by that... hmm.. I should look and see if I have nay other matching pictures?

I was SO mad when I got there in 2008 and the name was different! Glad someone else loves it as much as we do!

I have eaten breakfast at h and v once..didn't care for the food, characters were awesome though! out of date, but awesome!

I finally got the chance to catch up. It is so great that you will be at the same resort as Jophia. Your trip should be so much fun with a great guy, your kids, and good friends by your side.

The pics from the past trips are too cute.

 

[nowellsl]

I've been lurking on your trip report for a while and thought I'd pop in. I saw some of those Alice in Wonderland dishes in my local Tuesday Morning. I don't know if those stores are in other states or areas, but if you have one you may want to check yours out if you liked them!

Hey, thanks for stopping in! What is a local? or did you forget to add the name of the store?? LOL! I love those dishes! I couldn't justify buying them at the time though..but if I were to find them cheaper...

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Finally caught up. Love the blast from the past pictures. I've been looking at mine too and man, Jack and Kayla have grown a lot since I met them back in 2008.

I can't wait for park hours to come out. It will be so much easier to get planning done.

Haha, I guess you don't have them.... the name of the store is "Tuesday Morning". We have them here in FL. They get odds and ends from closeouts at other stores. Lots of name brand merchandise. Kind of like a TJ Maxx.

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

We have Tuesday Morning here too.

 

[petals]

joining in will come back tomorrow for proper read though as it's late in this part of the world

I tried pricing it that way, but I owuld have to split park tix and dxdp and it would have been too much money

OK.. I was sent September park hours by my awesome Sophia After looking at them, and comparing my schedule, it seems that I could NOT have planned anymore perfectly! It is like they planned around my schedule! Even the night I want Fantasmic!

Of course, this isn't big news, as who knows if things will change? But as of right now, I can keep the schedule I have made! Like I said, some things have changed since I first started posting my itinerary, so I am just going to post wha I have now, in text format, then add pics from years past!

I present to you, my master plan!*subject to change...again..and again..and again..and again..and again..and.. you get it!


Friday September 9,2011- Arrival Day!

No clue what time we are arriving, but we will surely be tired! Hopefully we will be able to check in early, and catch a nap..or at least let Bob get one! I'll be too excited!

Dinner- Spirit of Aloha, 5pm seating if possible! The earlier the better! I want to be in bed early, so we can wake up early the next day!

Saturday September 10, 2011- 1st Magic Kingdom Day

Breakfast- Crystal Palace..never thought I would choose this as my first breakfast in the world, but we want to get right to the park that day, and we are doing CRT that night..so it seemed like a bit of overkill to do it for breakfast and dinner!

Dinner- Oh, yay, you read the last part, so you know already? Cinderella's Royal Table! Always my first MK dinner! Tonight we will dine with my friend Michelle and her fam! Her DD10 happens to be Kayla's BFF! They are so similar looking it is ridiculous! They rarely see each other, yet are So alike..pick out same clothes, shoes, even eye wear!


Sunday September 11, 2011- Disney's Hollywood Studios

Breakfast- 1900 Park Fare w/ my friend Michelle!

Dinner- As of right now, I have Hollywood Brown Derby, fantasmic package! May change that to Mama Melrose..but i doubt it! I want to use my signature credits!

Staying for Fantasmic! First time seeing it!

EMH @ Mk 9pm-12

Monday September 12, 2011- Epcot

Breakfast- Akershus!

Dinner- Le Cellier! Hoping the addition of a dining credit makes this menu even better... Not gonna hold my breathe though!


Tuesday September 13, 2011-Animal Kingdom

Lunch- Yak and Yeti... I did not love this place last time we were there, but I have this overwhelming need to try it again.. I think it is the won ton dessert to be honest.. that part I remember was amazing! Hoping to get the earliest seating, as we will be hungry!

Dinner- Ohana w/ Michelle and her family! I think this will be a ton of fun for all! Super chill and relaxing with no rush back to a park afterwards!

Wednesday September 14, 2011- Water Park (leaning towards Typhoon Lagoon) and Quest day!

NO CLUE What I do have written down is :
Breakfast- Resort Yes, me, eat a CS!!
Lunch- @ Typhoon Lagoon another CS?? I may hold out though and just do an early Dinner in DTD at Earl Of Sandwich..my FAVORITE meal ever anywhere lol!

This day is completely open, and I like that! I am rarely spontaneous!

Thursday September 15, 2011- Epcot

Friday September 16,2011- Jophia Arrive Magic Kingdom day!

Breakfast- CRT! After wanting to try this, so many times and never doing so, we are finally going to try it!

Dinner- MK closes early for MNSSHP this night, so Jophias plans of going to The Plaza won't work out, as of tonight, we decided we will all go to Kona for dinner! We have all wanted to try this place for dinner, as it is our fav breakfast, so I am excited to be able to do it with our favorite Disney goers!

Saturday September 17,2011- Jophias 11th Wedding Anniversary!! Epcot

Breakfast- Kona Cafe! Yes..we were there the night before I told you, we loves it! Honestly though, the breakfast is amazing here!

Dinner- Grand Floridian Cafe. Jophia love it here, and have invited us to join them on their anniversary dinner! This is a first for us, and I couldn't be more excited after hearing the fantastic reviews from Jophia and many other Disers!

I am hoping to pull off a fantastical, most romantical surprise for Bob and the kids..but I have no clue what? Don't think a wishes cruise is in the budget, but I want to try!

Sunday September 18,2011- Day Off/ No Park

We only bought 10 day park passes, so we had to choose one day to chill out! Today is this day!

Not sure what we will do with our day yet! I had Yachtmans for dinner, but I think I am going to change it for California Grill! We'll see!

Monday September 19,2011- Animal Kingdom and DATE NIGHT!! Well.. hopefully!

Breakfast- Tuskerhouse! Hoping to get to DAK early and have a nice morning there!

Dinner- JIKO! Hear great things about this place, and seems to be a great date night spot!

Hoping to meet Jophia this night at the MK!

Tuesday September 20,2011- Off Morning/ MNSSHP!!

Not sure what this morning will hold for us? I am kind of hoping to sleep in, and then head to DTD for either EoS or WPE..WPE would be a first!

Dinner- Early seating at Crystal Palace.. I know.. ME doing a dinner BUFFET? But hey, we wanna do as many meals with Jophia as possible, and they like it here!

Thursday September 22,2011- Leave to go home...and cry..cry...cry.

Breakfast- Boma with Jophia! this is Kayla's favorite place!

[Fantasyland Mom]

NOw that I have the hours, too, a few things have changed for me...one of them is that we'll be at MNSSHP together!!!!!!

 

[Beka]

Brown Derby = NOM NOM NOM! OMG, it was SO good! The only thing we didn't care for was the tuna tartar - it was WAY too heavy on wasabi.

The tortelloni was to. die. for. It's just an appy, but wow. I got two appys instead of 1 entree. Also got the scallop. It was cooked perfectly. It was good, but not near as good as the tortelloni!
