I really enjoyed following along on your TR! Your photos are amazeballs! Hope your birthday trip is equally as fabulous, are you doing a TR for that one? If so I'd love to read all about it
It turns out, these weren't the brightest baby ducks in the world, because they wouldn't follow the mommy duck out of the water, even though there was a ramp, they were way at the opposite end of the water, and for some reason, the mom kept jumping out or flying away, and quacking like a crazy...duck, and they were too small to follow. Of course, Brandon starts talking to some guy, who is very concerned, and they agree that if they don't come up with a plan to help the baby ducks, they will drown and die. So they thought that someone should get popcorn, feed it to the mom, and walk along the water, leaving a trail of popcorn for the mom to follow to the ramp. So the guy did this, he had to climb over bushes and everything, but he got those ducks to the ramp finally, and they all safely got out of the water. OMG it was such an ordeal, this took at least 45 minutes of planning and watching.
Everything was so good, that we decided we should go to Tutto on our next trip. Well, I forgot about that until a few weeks ago, and now Tutto is booked for the times I can fit it in! Oh well, hopefully next time!
We had about 30 minutes to wait, but I didn't care, my pre -Illuminations music was blasting, and I was happy!
Soon Illuminations started, and no one stood up, so we watched sitting down, which was awesome, because my feet hurt SO bad by the end of this trip!
How do you say goodbye to your favorite park? You stay as long as you can, taking a million pictures of Spaceship Earth!
That purse is fabulous! So glad you decided to treat yourself!
Depending on when this was we might have been in the food court at the same time. We were there around 2ish.
Love! I want one of these one day.
Thank you for sharing and have a great time this weekend!
I love the D&B you picked!!
I'm so glad you decided to do this TR because I love reading about your trips. Have so much fun on your birthday trip!!
Great TR!!! Thanks for sharing it with us...
And I especially love Dooney purse... Completely understand having to have the perfect Disney purse!!!
Have a great birthday trip (And Happy Birthday by the way )...
I hope you write another TR so we can enjoy your birthday with you!!!
Booo! It's always so sad when you leave your last park of the trip. It's nice you had another one to sort of look forward to though and now its a real trip! I'm looking at the calendar now and realizing you're probably already there RIGHT NOW! I'm super jealous but looking forward to your new TR.
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your adventure with us! Your photos are gorgeous, and I loved vacationing vicariously through you. I hope that you're having an absolutely incredible time on your big birthday trip right now... Looking forward to hearing all about it when you get back!!!
Hey Jen! I kind of dropped the ball on commenting on your TR....but I just wanted to let you know that I DID follow along with the whole thing and I really enjoyed it! Sounds like you guys had a really fun trip! Looking forward to your next TR, I promise I'll try to do better at commenting next time!!
Probably - have to teach those folks a lesson! We've encountered those types before too that don't pay attention to Photopass lines.
Glad you had a great meal at Crystal Palace AND met Eeyore!
Haha, he really was feeling like a kid. How did he like Barnstormer?
Yay, so happy you were able to track her down! I wish we'd had time to meet her on our trip - I'm sure Izzy would love her!
Wow, you can now claim to be part of the Amazing Disney Duckling Rescue!
Hope you did! Gorgeous!
So glad that CM told the people they couldn't get in front of you. I swear some people are just so dang entitled and it drives me crazy.
Hahahahah, thank you for calling it 'the puffed.' HOORAY for finally meeting Eeyore!!
Omg I was so concerned about Marie for a second. She's too cute to not be meeting!
Love that Dooney! I have the Disneyland version in a wallet but now I want something in the WDW pattern too! Curses! Can't afford that. Hahahahah. And I agree, that's such a great placement.
I love how much people were concerned about the duck family! That's precious.
SIGH, goodbye Epcot. I'm glad you got your birthday dream trip! I hope it's been fantastic!! And hey if ya feel like coming back in early November... Great TR, as usual! I hope you do another!!!
I really enjoyed following along on your TR! Your photos are amazeballs! Hope your birthday trip is equally as fabulous, are you doing a TR for that one? If so I'd love to read all about it
I think the funniest part of this is imagining you telling the story verbally! But you know Brandon would have literally lost sleep if you guys didn't stick around to make sure they made it safely onto land!
Of course, it's been 5 years now but we loved Tutto Italia! I'm going to put it on the list for the trip I'm perpetually planning in my head that somehow keeps getting bumped to "next year."I am LIVING for this picture right now! Ugh, I miss Epcot sunsets so much!!
The pre-Illuminations loop is definitely in my top 3... that, the Animal Kingdom Lodge loop, and the Tower of Terror loop. How lucky that no one stood up! Maybe people are finally figuring it out!
True story!
I LOVED this report, even though I'm a terrible friend and joined when you were like 3/4 of the way done! If you do one for your birthday trip, I promise I'll do better! Haha!
Glad you were able to meet Marie. You'd think it would be posted that she only had afternoon hours at that location...
I can't believe that Cast Member wanted to bring you a purse from the back. There's no way you were the first person to ever pick out your favorite pattern. I remember when I finally got my Disney Dooney I stood in MouseGears for ten minutes going through which one I liked best. And a couple weeks ago in a store, my mom caught me death staring another person's Dooney and I had to explain to her that there's a lot of personal preference that goes into those purses. It can say a lot about someone's Disney tastes.
Either way, I'm happy you got your bag and that you like it, even if it's still a little big for your liking.
Epcot on your final night is fitting! A perfect way to end your trip!
I'm all caught up!
I'm glad you had a better experience at Beaches and Cream! I'm glad that I finally had a chance to eat there in May AND I was able to try the No Way Jose! It is really good!
I'm still jealous that you stayed at the Wilderness Lodge - I was so impressed with that resort when I went to dinner at Artist Point. I'd love to stay there one day!
I'm right there with you on Crystal Palace - it's my favorite in-park breakfast. I'm a huge fan of the custom omelets and the Pooh's puffed French toast! It also includes Eeyore, which makes it even better.
What a lovely Disney Dooney! I can't believe the CM was so feisty about picking out a particular bag - I'm pretty sure that EVERY Disney fan picks a "particular" bag. Heck, I inspect practically everything I buy for the "best" one, so it certainly would carry over for such an expensive bag!
I hope you're having a wonderful time at Disney and I look forward to hearing all about it! I hope you write another TR!
Loved your TR, so glad I found it when it was complete and I could read it all the way through in one go!!! I admire how much park hoping you did, had me exhausted just thinking about it. Our trip is in 4 weeks and we can't wait Looking forward to your next TR!!
Anybody else notice the hidden Mickey in the clouds on page 8 (Be Our Guest day) the first castle picture AFTER the french onion soup?? (So not the first castle pic, but the first after lunch). Sorry I'm brand new, if I knew how to post the picture here instead I would! Not sure if anyone else already noticed it and pointed it out before me and I missed it, but you can see two round Mickey ears, and his nose sort of points to the right. Anyways, Loved the trip report! Only real temporary cure to Disney blues..living through other's trip reports!
yum : the puffed!!! that looks SO GOOD right now!!
yay for finally meeting Eeyore
that Tiramisu looks so cute! after a filling meal, I bet its the perfect size dessert, especially at Epcot where there are so many good treats!!!
I can't wait to hear about your birthday trip!!
I tried to swing a last minute trip in a few weeks- just me- but no dvc available and friends in the area wont be home to chauffeur me and let me crash on their couch just wasn't meant to be. I got my hopes up a little too much on a $55 roundtrip ticket!!! oh well!!
I need to start planning a solo weekend trip for myself in the spring or next fall or something. I need to witness the magic of Disney on a solo adventure, for sure! and if I planned it for if you and /or marissa would be there, that would be perfect!!
I finished up your TR today...I really enjoyed it and I LOVE your D&B purse! I hope you had a great trip during your recent trip and hope you decide to do another TR!
Instead next time you could try my method of note taking. Instead of actual notes I take a lot of pictures and rely on the time stamp. If there is something very specific I need to remember I might take a note or two and take quick shots of the rides that we have done. The bonus about that is that you occasionally end up with surprisingly great shots.Sometimes it gets to be too hard to keep pulling out the phone and type in everything we're doing. I know some people take actual notebooks and write things down at the end of the day, but I forget things!
So no trip report for this trip, sorry!
I will share some of the highlights with you though!
LOVE this shot!
