We are back and a little sad!!!:cry: But none theless it was time to come home!!!

Well let me say our kids were sooooo surprised and completely overjoyed when we sprung our surprise on them!!!! Our nine year old CRIED she was so excited!!!!

Then we had our looooooonnnnnngggg flight in the middle of the night!!! I do not think we will ever do that again!!! The worst part was my 6 year old threw up all over his favorite blanket and his dad and the flight crew was less than helpful!!

We arrived at POR at about 9:30 am and everyone was exausted but me!!! Our room was not ready and wouldn't be for a while!! So I wanted to go to the parks of course but DH was too exausted!!! So we went to eat at the food court and then we decided to go swimming!! This made everyone even more tired but the kids were in heaven!!!!

Our room was ready, so we went back to sleep!!! Everyone but me, I was too ansy to get to the park!!! So I went and found laundry to wash my DS favorite blanket!!!

At about 5 Disneymom's family arrived, we met up with them for the kids 2nd surprise!!!! It was priceless!!! Disneymom's DS's mouth just dropped open when he saw us!!!! Both sets of kids were sooooo excited!!!!

Then FINALLY we were off to the MAGIC KINGDOM!!!!!! We went on Buzz first which of course my whole family loved!!! This was Saturday and the lines on this day were kinda long!!! So next we ate at Pecos Bills. Then we had to get our spot for the parade and fireworks!!! It was awesome!!! But NO tinkerbell my kids were bummed!!!!

Back to the POR for a much needed nights rest !!!!

Our first day was good !!!!!!:) :)

Today we started with Animal Kingdom!!!!

We were chosen to open the safari ride!!! We got to enter the park 20 min before everyone and ride the safari all alone!!! It was great!!!!

Then we proceeded to the Kali river rapids!!! We rode it a few times in a row then we rode Dinosaur!!! Even my 4 year old rode it-- She did not like it but she rode it!!!

Next, we did the other rides in Dinoland and went to the Tarzan show!!! that was great and right up my DS's alley!!!

Then on to Epcot to ride "MISSION SPACE" I LOVED it and so did my DD and DS (9yrs and 6yrs.) We also loved Test Track!!! We also did spaceship earth and the boat rides in Mexico and Norway!!

We started back to do test track again after dinner at LeCellier and had a little mishap!! My 6 year old DS was so excited and was running and bit the dust big time;pinch: As I saw him go down I thought for sure we were going to be on our way to the hospital!!! Thankfully I was wrong!! However, he got a serious road rash on his shoulder arm and face!!! There were cast members there in a split second to help and gave us exit entry passes for test track!!! So we made a quick trip to first aid and we were on our way back to Test track!!! We did not use the passes yet tho because there was no line!!!

At this point we met back up with Disney mom and her family( Who we had left after dinner) To watch Illuminations which was so cool!!!

Then back to POR for much needed rest!! By the way we got Bldg. 14 with adjoining rooms!!! It was PERFECT!!!!
:)

Oh I forgot to mention that outside Animal Kingdom there were all kinds of great characters with NO lines!!! After my 4 year old got her autographs and pictures she promptly sat in her stroller!!! Where Dale and Meeko took turns pushing her around!! I do not think she will ever forget that!!!!

It was so cute!!!! I got a couple of pictures thank goodness!!!

So far great weather!!! Hot but no rain!!!!!!

[inluvwithdisney]

Early to rise again!!! Off to MGM for the day!!!

Today's mission is to get more character's for the kids!!!

First stop Tower of Terror!!! What a kick!!!! that was my 9 year old DD favorite ride!!!!

Next, Rockin roller Coaster!! WooHooo!!! It was really fun!!
Originally it was not suppose to open until the 16th but it was open on the 14th!!!! We rode it a couple of times!!! Again NO LINES!!!!

We saw the little mermaid show (which was the highlight for my 4 yr old DD) then the Indiana Jones show!! That was great too!!

Next we went on Star Tours!!! We love that from DL !! So far my 6 yr old DS has gone on everything and this is a huge step for him!!! And he has loved it all!!!

Next we headed to the center area under the Mickey Hat and got some characters -- Then headed to Pizza Planet!!! We got the green army men from Toy Story!!! We played in Pizza Planet and had Mickey Bars!!! YUMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!:)

Then we played at the Honey I shrunk the kids area!!! that was fun!!!

After that we headed back to POR!! Disneymom and her DH went out for the night and We kept their kids!!!!

We ate at the POR food court and went swimming!!! Then we went back to the room so the kids could get some homework done!!!!
Then we hit the hay!!! Early PS at CRT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

I love reading everyone's reports!!! I am so ready to go...how did you get picked to open up the safari ride? That would be wy cool if our family was chosen...

Great report looking forward to the rest.

[inluvwithdisney]

I am not sure but our kids were wearing the honorary badges and that did get them alot of extra attention!!!!!:)

But our boys (Disneymom's and mine) Were playing while in line and were just having fun!!! and I think they noticed them!!!
I am not sure they bargained for 9 of us but they let us all in!!!!:whistle:

[kphil89]

to ge my birthday button...maybe I will have some of that special disney magic on our trip! :) :)

[tiggerlover1971]

great trip report so far ( I read day 2 and three ) I am more excited to go at the end of October I cant wait !!!!!

[sandanv1]

Great reports!!
Reading everyones adventures is making me wish the clock would move faster so I too can live the excitement.

It is great to know that the lines weren't long. I was in Orlando on the 19 & 20th and it seemed a little deserted. The roads seemed less congested, the wait at restaurants was shorter, and our resort was empty (we stayed at Vacation Village, across from Celebration - 1200 rooms and only 217 occupied!) Rumor on the streets was that the european travelers aren't traveling, and they make up a big chunk of fall tourism.

I really hope that trend continues for my trip.

Keep the reports coming.

We started the day at Cinderella's Castle!!!! We got right in we all sat at one table!!! We were very worried about that!!!

They served breakfast!!! Very Quickly!!! Then they entered!!!
It was Magical!!!Truly!!! Like they had dropped pixie dust all over the room!! We saw Cinderella(of course), Snow White, Belle, Princess Aurora and Mary Poppins!!! they were wonderful and the looks on our kids faces were priceless!!! Especially Disneymom's 5 year old and my 4 Year old!!! They were so sweet!!

After breakfast, we hit fantasyland!!! We went on everything, some things twice in about an hour and saw~~~~DUMDADADAAA~~~Ariel!!! My 4 year old stood and stared in admiration!!! I loved it!!!

On to Haunted Mansion, Pirates, the Aladdin magic carpet ride and Splash Mountain. Then back to tomorrow land to ride Buzz and spacemountain!!! This was my DS first Space mountain ride!! He loved it!!!! We rode these a couple of times with no wait whatsoever!!!!! At this point it was about 12:30 and we had done all this already!!!!

On the way out we grabbed a couple of characters Daisy duck, tweedle dee and tweedle dum, and I forgot to mention we got SPACE MICKEY at Epcot on Sunday!!! How great huh??

We went back and changed and went to Typhoon Laggon. This was OK but maybe would fogo it in the future!!!

Then we all went to Downtown Disney to shop and go to Disney Quest!! My DD's got hairwraps!!!
We loved:love: Disney Quest!!!!! and World of Disney and POOH Corner!!!

Looonnnggg Day!!!! But a blast!!!! We have an early PS at Chef Mickey's!!!!!!:) :) :love: :)

Wow, I bet that was quite a task: trying to get kids to do their homework while in Disneyworld.

[inluvwithdisney]

It was hard but they were good sports about it!!!
