[disneybarbie]

Great photos Nikki - especially of those storm clouds rolling in!

I have a photo of that dancing CM too! I think we first saw her during our Keys to the Kingdom tour in 2009... I'm not sure.. but it could be a CM called Barbara, she is an amazing dancer!

We found another random food place where Tom found this amazing sandwich! It was very delicious but we had dinner plans so we couldn't eat too much!

Dinner tonight was at 'Ohana!! We had a 5:20 ADR but we were in line and one of the first people to check in at around 4:45. Good thing because the check-in line soon stretched allllllll the way across the upstairs....

Do you remember about where Tom got that sandwich? It looks YUMMY!

And holy line! Glad you guys were ahead of it all!

So looking out the window, we could see the bridge to Adventureland. You can't really see her too well in this picture but there was a CM who was just having the best time! She was dancing and dancing and every guest who walked over the bridge was asked to dance with her. It was so great to watch! It went on for a good 15 minutes and it makes me wonder if she's being paid to do that or if she's really supposed to be sweeping the garbage...because that was the costume she was wearing. Garbage sweep costume. I guess all CMs are encouraged to interact with the guests.

Pretty crazy right?? These pics are not doctored at all and in fact, that last one was taken with my cell phone!


By the time we got to the bus stop, the wind started picking up like crazy!!

That is AWESOME about that CM! I just love it!!

I love that wind pic... Bri's face is priceless.

The storm, while annoying, is really really cool looking.

I think I need a breakfast at CP for March.

Wow, it got super windy fast!

The pic of that sky is pretty amazing. I remember when we went in August '10and we had pretty much the same weather experience that you had, except we were camping at Ft. Wilderness at the request of DMIL as that's where DH's family used to stay when they were growing up (really the only option w/ 12 kids!). Needless to stay camping/Disney/August are three things that will never combine in my life again!

You must be getting so excited for your trip this weekend! Have an awesome time!!

 

[beachgirl2000]

I am so jealous you are going back THIS Saturday!!!!!! So jealous!!! But looking forward to another trip report so I can vacatoin through you!

Congrats on the house! And, in my opinion, you should be able to get back again soon so go for the Passes -- Make it a point to go back -- it's when you have kids that your money somehow disappears!

I promised my husband no more Disney for a few years (as I am trying to plan a quick Disney Cruise and a few nights in Disney in January -- if the money is right!)

Loving the updates!! I second the question - where did Tom get that sandwich?? YUM! I LOVE the jungle trek!!! The first time we went, I had just bought a frozen chai and I didn't want to dump it but the CM said I could bring it in. So it's a tradition for us now to get our coffee/tea/smoothies and walk around the jungle trek

That is one CRAZY looking storm! Whoa! And I'm totally curious to see how the evening went at HS.

I hope you hear good things regarding the house. Good luck with any house buying purchase - it's a huge thing to do and very time consuming!!

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Well I already said that rain sucks, but those storm made for some pretty darn awesome photos!!! Wow!

Yes definitely once in a lifetime pics!

Wow, those are some serious clouds!! At least you didn't let them ruin your day

What choice did we have? Haha!

Great photos Nikki - especially of those storm clouds rolling in!

Well I didn't get to finish this TR before my next trip like I wanted to but I just wanted to pop in and say hello!

It's 5am and my dad should be here in about 30 mins to take us to the airport. There is a beautiful dusting of snow on the ground and the ONLY reason I say it's beautiful is because in just a few house, I will be in the warm Florida sun!

And bonus!! I scored an ADR for Be Our Guest for TONIGHT! I had been checking every day, multiple times a day since I booked this trip and nothing. Yesterday and lunch, I checked like usual and there is was! Yay!!

 

[ronnmel]

Have fun in Disney!

Day 7 cont.

We got to DHS around 6 and it was a little drizzly. Not too bad though!

The first thing we did was ride TOT. There was only a 10 minute wait. Score!

We got a FP for Rockin Roller Coaster and then got some dinner at Fairfax Fare.

After dinner, we rode Star Tours...

...and then wandered around the Streets of America.

Bri was really getting into our style of picture taking! We were loving it!

We headed back to the hub and Mulch Sweat and Sheers was setting up for their last set. It is different from when they play in the Streets of America. They were just rocking out and everyone was dancing. It was so cool. We just hung around the area taking pics, sitting down and really just soaking it all in. I remember in that moment, Brianne just looking around in awe and saying "I love Disney World." She "got" it!

After a while, it was time for our RnRC FP so we headed that way....

It was only around 8:30/9 at this point but we had to go back to pack and be up early the next morning to do airline check-in and all that stuff so we headed back.

Day 8 - The Last Day

The night before, I called Bell Services to schedule a pick up at 8am. (At CBR, you have to call Bell Services to get your luggage to the Custom House. It's super far away.) So we were up at 7am and they were right on time!

After we dropped our bags, we hopped the bus to Epcot for one last day of fun!

We arrived around 8:45 and go to see opening. It was pretty cool. Around 8:55, they shot off streamers and everyone clapped. Stuff like that always makes me tear up!

This was my view from the line before they let everyone in.

We first stopped in the Art of Animation store.

Then we headed to Soarin to get FPs.

The return time was 10:45. (I took really good notes on this trip! Haha!)

We stopped for some breakfast at Sunshine Seasons.

When we exited The Land, we stopped to look at this tree.

There is a roof over the entrance but a hole in the roof for this tree to grow.

Our next stop was Innoventions where we played the Great Piggy Bank Game...or something like that! I don't really remember what it was called.

After Innoventions, we headed to Journey Into Your Imagination.

After our ride, we headed back to Soarin for our FP return time.

Now by this time, it was just about 11:00.....and you know what that means!!!


Up next - our last few hours in WDW, told mostly in pictures!

 

[jenseib]

that picture in the reflection is really cool
