Birthday Trip To WDW (pre-TR turned TR) w/LOTS of pics **COMPLETED 2/5**

lets try this again. hopefully it will be as good and entertaining as the first time i wrote this out. ugh!

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
the last time i left you all we were headed back to our resort so i could take a nap and take some cold medicine. i did just that. sleplt for about 3 or 4 hours and felt rejuvinated when i woke up. took a shower which made me feel even better and once i was ready we were on our way to dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern.

we got to MK and parked in the front because a lot of people had already left. The monorail was so empy that we got a whole bench to ourselves.

and the mostly empty monorail car we were in

the entrance to MK from our passing monorail

once we got inside the MK everyone was already lined up on main street to watch the fireworks which made it a little difficult to navagate through the crowd but we made it in time for our ADR. The characters were already there visiting tables and we were sat right away. Our waitress came over to take our drink order and to tell us that beef, ham and turkey were on the menu tonight. Yummo!

our first table visitor was Minnie Mouse

Then Pluto came by and only wanted his picture with chris

our next visitor was our food but it didn't stay long. I got chris to take the picture for me. hehe :rotfl:

while we ate chip and dale came by

when our waitress came back we asked if we could purchase our drink glasses and she said that normally you can but they ran out from the day customers so we would have to try back another time. :sad2: So, we decided to try again later before we went home. We paid our bill with two free dining credits and were on our merry way in an empty park. The park had closed while we were eating dinner so that made for great photo ops. I highly recomend to anyone to make the last dinner reservation possible in the evening so you can walk out of the park while it's empty. It's an awesome experiance. So quiet and beautiful!!

here's a picture of chris in the prisoner thing

one of the castle with no other people in it :woohoo:
CIMG2680.jpg


a nice family walked by and saw chris trying to take a picture of me in front of the castle so they offered to take a picture of both of us. We were very greatful and did the same for them
CIMG2682.jpg


this is one of my favorite pictures of the castle that night

We got to the entrance to MK and chris decided to take some more night shots of the entrance.

We hopped on the monorail again and were back in our car in no time on our way down to DTD.

here is a picture of the Planet Hollywood sign as we arrived at DTD
CIMG2708.jpg


as we got there I txt messaged Tat to find out where her and her family where because I knew they would be in the area. She said they were at DQ and she would come down to see us. so we walked to the front of DQ, waited a few min and out she came.

heres a picture of her and I
CIMG2711.jpg


chris took a picture of the DQ sign that they project on the ground
CIMG2712.jpg


We stood around talking for a little while and then I heard from Cheri that her and Mike would be at DTD soon so Tat and her family walked down to Planet Hollywood with us to wait for them. After about 15min they got there.

heres a picture of Tat, Cheri and me
CIMG2715.jpg


not long after cheri and mike got there Tat and her family had to get going so we said our goodbyes. Cheri, Mike Chris and I decided to hit PI to see if the comedy club had a show that might be starting soon but when we got down there the show had already started and the next one wasn't until 1am. So we decided against that, got some drinks and walked around DTD for a little while. It was a great time and awesome conversation. Once it started raining again we all decided that it was probably a good time to head back to our resorts. We gave Mike and Cheri a ride back to their resort and then were on our merry way back to ours. Thank goodness too because I was crashing again hard from that stupid cold. Once in our room I popped some medicine and hopped in bed. Chris brought me a snack being the awesome husband he is and then it was off to sleepy town for us.

And that's the end of day 6....again.

I bet you all never thought i would make it. Now off to day 7. I'm almost done!!! :woohoo:

I posted pics on my pre trippe, just saying:rolleyes1


Okay, sorry for the hijack Carla, back to your regularly scheduled Trip report now;)
 
Yeah, two days in a row with updates people. Amazing I know. I think I've lost most of my readers but that's okay. I'll finish this up for the ones that are still around. Thanks for sticking with me :grouphug:

Day 7, Part 1

Seeing as how I was still sick we decided to take it easy on this day. We slept in until about 11am or 12pm (can't quite remember anymore :rotfl: ). When we woke up I was really feeling better. Thank goodness. Seems like it was only a couple day cold which was just fine and dandy with me :thumbsup2 . So, once we were ready we went down to the food court for lunch. Pizza for me and more pasta for chris lol. After we ate we decided to go down to DTD again and use our boat rental voucher. We love getting on these little boats. Well, that is until this time. It wasn't horrible...just, wet.

Once we got down to the dock there was no one there so we walked right up and told them we had a voucher. They took it and we decided to upgrade it to a full hour. Trust me, an hour is too long. They showed us where to get our life vests at since you have to wear them. Chris tried on the XL and it was way too small so he asked if they had anything bigger. They said an XL is the biggest they had so he had to make due.

Here is chris in his not so XL life vest
CIMG2716.jpg


I laughed sooooooo hard :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: It didn't seem like they were that small last time we did the boats. :confused3

After we both had a good laugh we went to get in our boat. Once they brought around our boat I saw that there was green algea in the bottom where my feet were supposed to go. I was none too happy about this but there was nothing to be done about it now. That should have been the first sign that this was going to be bad :laughing: Once we were in our boat, we were off. Chris drove of course.

Here is a picture I shot of the lagoon at DTD. Weather looks great, right?
CIMG2718.jpg


Here's a picture of Port Orleans
CIMG2725.jpg


and one of the pool there that freaks me out
CIMG2728.jpg


a self portrait that I think turned out really good
CIMG2731.jpg


me and chris on the boat
CIMG2732.jpg


So as we were riding in the boat these way bigger passenger boats kept passing us pretty fast. The wake was making our boat rock uncontrollably. It was funny to watch chris try to navagate his way through them. Finally, as one passed us by we were a little too close and the wake got unreal! We rocked so hard that the front of the boat ended up dipping down into that disgusting canal and brought in water to the boat on my side. My pants were soaked along with the tops of my shoes. Disgusting green algea was then floating at the bottom of our boat!

At that point we decided to turn around and head back since I was all wet once again, it looked like it was going to rain and I was starting to get freaked out that there might be aligators in the canal in the area we were in because there were no more hotels and civil life. :scared1:

Here are some more pictures of the lagoon upon arrival to the dock. Oh boy was I ever happy to see that doc.

okay, sorry guys, I gotta run some work errands so I'm gonna have to end it for now and finish up later on this evening.

Up next - dinner and putt putt :woohoo:
 
Girl, I'm cracking up at that pic with the 'XL' life vest! Seems like they would have some bigger than that. C'mon Disney, you know better than that! :lmao:
Poor Chris!!!

That sucks that the ride wasn't that great. That picture of you did turn out really well! :thumbsup2 I wish I could take better self portraits!

Can't wait for more. :yay:
 
great updates. The life vest is a crack up. It would look like that too on me. :sad2:
looking forward to putt putt.
Loved the pics with TAT. very nice.

hehehe yeah I was too. It was hillarious!! Don't you just love how chris is posing in the picture? It makes me think of Chris Farelly when he did his "fat man in a little coat" joke on the movie Tommy Boy. :rotfl:

The ride wasn't that bad...we laughed a lot but that water was disgusting when it came in the boat.

thank you for the compliment. I always end up taking 2 or 3 pictures of myself to get a good one..that was the good one lol.

I'll be posting the update of dinner and putt putt here in a little bit...but now it's time for me to play rachet and clank on my playstation 3 :thumbsup2

Awww I don't think they think big guys will want to ride in those small boats but they should have at least one or two xxl life vests available just in case. :confused3

I have TONS of pictures from putt putt and will be putting them up in a bit.

thank you

thanks for sticking with me scott. :hug:
 
I JUST SPENT THIS WHOLE TIME TYPING UP AN UPDATE AND THE DIS LOST IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hit reply and it told me i wasn't signed in so i signed in and my reply is GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:headache: :headache: :headache: :headache:

it's gonna take a bit longer because now i have to redo it

Hint, this has happened to me many times, I have learnd that before I hit submit, I always highlight my whole update, and hit copy. Then if it happens to delet it which it sometimes does, I just have to sign in again and hit paste, that saves me and the walls from throwing the keyboard at it.
:thumbsup2


Loved the updates, seeing the food pictures from Libery tree bring back some good memories, i just did my liberty tree tavern update, what a coincidence.


Those shots down mainstreet and of the castle are neat.

Also good update on DTD, there is cheri, is she still without comptuer access at home, or why is she not writing anymore?

Thanks for the advice Faunt. I will be doing that from now on.

don't they though? I miss disney :( I'll have to come over and read your updates. I've probably missed a few again.

thanks :) chris did a good job with the camera.

yes there's cheri :) her computer is still a piece of crap. she can only really get online at work and then she can't really sit there and read/post like she used to. her boss works very close to her :sad2:

Yeah that water would have grossed me out too! :scared: I think the ride would be nice, just for the views alone.
