Hopefully I'm closer to my happily ever after- August 2012 TR

It's about time I started my Trip Report since unfortunately I got back August 26th.

Here is the link to my pre-trip report

http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/hopefully-another-short-forest-august-pre-trip-report.840289/

So this trip took an interesting turn, as you see if you read my PTR I went with my boyfriend of 2 years. I graduated in May and this summer I had been taking an intense graduate program to get my Masters in Financial Accounting. I took 5 classes in about 2 months so it was very time consuming and required a lot of work. The program ended August 10th so the end of July and the beginning of August I had to concentrate on finishing up my classes. This also meant a lot less time to be around my boyfriend which led to things falling apart. On Wednesday in Disney we ended up breaking up. Yes it was upsetting but I will admit that I was ready for it and nothing would stop me from enjoying my Disney vacation, I just love it there. The rest of the vacation ended up going better than the beginning and we got along a lot better (I guess the stress was gone).

So that is the reasoning to my TR title, hopefully I am closer to my happily ever after! The guy who is right for me will definitely have to share my love for Disney and as Walt said "Keep moving forward."

I hope you have stayed with me because I have a lot of photos to share!

So the flight was at 8:35am out of Philly and we landed early in Orlando at 10:48am and made our way to Disney's Magical Express!

We didn't have to wait long and it was a nice half hour ride to the All Star Resorts! We arrived at All Star Music and I was really happy I did the online check in because regular check in had a huge wait and I didn't have to wait to get my packet. I had requested the Jazz Inn or close to transportation because last year we were in the Country Inn like the farthest building and that was really annoying. We didn't get Jazz Inn but we did get my favorite themed area at All Star Music!

Our room was ready so that's always good!

Our room was good, it was all we needed, but our television remote didn't work and our bathroom light had this really creepy flicker whenever it turned on that reminded me of the Tower of Terror haha.

I love this picture! We were really tired because we both had to be up at like 4:30am because we are hour and a half away from the airport but of course I was ready to go, I went to the hotel food court and we got a bacon cheeseburger to split and we then planned on going to Beaches and Cream!

Beauty and the Beast is close to the top of my list of my favorite Disney movies!

To get to Beaches and Cream we took the bus to Hollywood Studios so that we could take my favorite form of Disney transportation! (besides the monorail)

Boats of course!

Congratulations! The College Program sounds like a great experience.

I'm really enjoying your report, the photos, and especially your outlook. Your optimistic perspective even in less-than-desirable conditions is very refreshing.

Did you happen to find out who the artist who created the Mickey Orchestra picture is? I had the same one in my room back in 01/11 and forgot to ask the front desk if they are available to buy. I want it!

No I didn't find out, I wish I thought of asking I really like it as well, actually in one of Tom Bricker's trip reports there is a painting in the boardwalk hotel room that I reallyyy want!

I'm following along! Can't wait to hear about the rest! And love your pictures of The Boardwalk!!! My dream resort! <3

Tuesday we had a Crystal Palace breakfast at 8:55 am :) I was very excited for this, to be in the Magic Kingdom before most people, it was an awesome feeling!

We were seated right away and right off the bat we got to meet POOH!
My sister and I have always been fans of Winnie the Pooh, bears have always been my favorite animal so naturally I would love pooh, however I also love Tigger and I have a million Tigger stuffed animals!

Everyone really needs to see the new Winnie the Pooh movie its really good!!

So oh em gee, Pooh's puffed french toast is wayy worth the trip! it is seriously amazing! I didn't even need syrup!

SAM_2039.jpg


not a very good picture :/

So we had to wait the longest time to see Tigger! but I was not going to leave without seeing him since hes my favorite!! but it was annoying cause little kids from other tables would like go up and see him before their turn, people need to learn manners

so David took a picture with me and Tigger on his phone and it was really cute but blurry!! what the hell

So overall it was a really good breakfast, however someone needs to take me for a do-over! David was cranky that morning and he was really mean to me, I didn't get my castle picture.
