WDWmazprty's TR 9/5-9/12/09 The TR IS FINALLY DONE! Boy, we had fun!!!
We got back today and we are exhausted! But so happy! We had a blast at the World! Of course we didn't want to come back. It was myself, DW-Veronica(Auroragirl), DD-Keilani 7, DD-Raquel 2, and my mom and dad. I took a bunch of pics as you'll see. My camera is digital, but still not as fancy as some other people on here have. So forgive me if some of the pics came out dark and whatnot. We had so much fun, that we took advantage of the bounceback offer for next year! So if everything goes well, we'll be back Sept. 19-25 at Pop w/free dining! :sohappy:
Well, here we go. Enjoy the TR!!!!!!
Friday, September 4
Woke up at 3:40AM… Ready to hit the road!! At 4:00 we woke up the girls. Went to our oldest girls’ (Kei) bed, and told her to get up because we were leaving. After about 30 seconds, My DW (Auroragirl) said again, “Wake up! We’re going to Disney World!” That got her attention. She sat up, confused, and said “What? Really?” When she realized we weren’t joking, she got out of bed jumping up and down. We saw that the baby was awake, but didn’t move from the bed yet. She went to the bed and asked if she wanted to go to Disney World… and she too got up and started dancing. They were so excited. Kei just couldn’t believe that we had kept it a secret from her. It was so exciting! By 4:15 we were all strapped in the car and on I-24. Once in the car we gave the girls a few gifts we had gotten for them… ear hats, Disney t-shirt, glow sticks and autograph books. By 5am they were finally back asleep. By 11:00am we were just passing Macon, GA and got our first set of “Are we there yet?” from Kei. Stopped for lunch… and on the road again! Finally got to DeLand (approx 30 miles outside of Orlando) around 5pm. Good drive… made good time. Spent the rest of Friday and all of Saturday with family.
Sunday, September 6
We were all up by 6am. Just too excited to get going! Got ready for our drive to WDW Pop Century Resort. Got there at 7am, checked in, got all our information and our Keys To The World!!! We got in line about 7:10 and were out about 7 minutes later… if you can do online check-in; I definitely recommend. Once done with that, we got in line for the bus to Magic Kingdom!!!
Got off the bus and walked straight into the Magic Kingdom. Took a few pictures outside… just the girls and a family pic. Got our “Happy Anniversary” pins!
We had reservations at 8:00am at Crystal Palace. What a great breakfast. We met Winnie Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger. Raquel was so excited to meet them, but when she saw them up close, she wasn’t that excited any more!
After breakfast, I went to get Fast Passes for Big Thunder Mountain as we walked to Adventureland and got in line (absolutely no wait, mind you) for Magic Carpets of Aladdin. Raquel’s first ride!!! She loved it! Here is a picture of her with her grandfather, and Kei with grandma.
