YES, touring Cinderella’s Dream Suite was Amazing!+14 Other Magical Days* Dismeet & Wrap

[DisneyKid4Life]

Awww Brenda, has it really been 10 months??? I know I kid a little (ok, a LOT) but I will be genuinely sad to see this end. I only kid because I know there are already 2 more trips in the can and 1 more coming soon and I get a little anxious (and confused). This was the one with the Dream Suite... right?

You know, given your proximity to DL and the ability to go there pretty much at will makes me appreciate all the more the fact that you go to extra lengths to stay in WDW just as long as possible.

I am absolutely making a special point of finding Alex next trip.

WOW, way to get in some last minute character meets. Holy. Many don't get that many in a day. Of course, I'm also counting all the extra meets with CM's and of course your super crushing Mayor.

Brenda!!


Seriously, what a great last day in MK!! My hats off to you both for getting in as much as you could, that's awesome. I've been thinking about how we (Tyler and I) can shoot for a great day in MK on our last day too, I've been looking at flight times and trying to get an idea of what flight times they may offer for next year. We'll just have to see what they come up with.
Tell me, what time was your flight to go home? And what time did ME pick y'all up? <you don't have to answer now that we've spoken on the phone>
You probably said but I don't remember now. My thoughts are for a 6:00 o'clock flight so that we don't have to rush and we might be able to get some time in one of the parks or a resort if the park is not possible.
I figure the later the better, but not too late so I don't have my poor husband coming to get us really late from the airport. He's getting old ya know.

I'm going to have to keep my eye out for CM Alex, he looks like a hoot. I think he and Tyler would have a blast together!

CP for breakfast, my favorite and a last day tradition for us as well. I see you have the same thinking I do when it comes to breakfast, it's good to have the healthy options as well as the really good stuff!

Breakfast lasagna is no joking matter, in eating it or making it. Have you ever looked up the ingredients?!? But man! It's soooo yummy.

I'm glad to see you got some face time in with a few of the princesses, too bad no time with the head Mouse. Oh well, at least you have another trip coming up, maybe you'll see him then.

So sad y'all have left. But all good times must come to an end, TR's too, but sadly mine is not. A year later....how pathetic of me. As always I love reading your reports.

Boooooooo last day! Even though you have been on 2 trips since.

Very cute pictures on Main Street to start off the day! So glad you were able to run into your favorite PP photographer as well, that made for some really adorable selfies.

Love the princess meet! My favorite Rapunzel! I hope to see her every time we go now. She was amazing for Paxton's very first princess meet in 2012.

I have to sincerely thank you for plugging away at this TR and keeping me so entertained and feeling like I have a little bit of the magic at home.

What a fantastic TR Brenda! I had to come out of lurkdom to say how much I enjoyed it as well as your previous TR's. I can't wait for your next one!

 

[eandesmom]

Since we were right there where the pumpkin decorations were at the foot of Main Street we posed there as well. I remember Cynthia posing here with her cute orange top right in this spot. I may not be as color coordinated with the holiday but I was glad to be able to see the seasonal decorations.

So I am finally back here to catch up. I read that update and thought there is NO WAY it's been that long since I've been over here. It had been a long time...but not THAT long, I missed this update!

I love those decorations and it's such a fun photo! You two look great as always although I must say, August seems too early for fall decs!

Wonderful updates. I had a lot to catch up on, Illuminations cruise and so many cute pics! I am glad you enjoyed the cruise (so much you've done it again). I think it is worth every penny and love that a couple next to you got engaged.

Love that you took a picture with Bruce, I think that is perfectly acceptable for the kid to stand in line to take the picture. Princess shots were a ton of fun and I am glad (since I've not been on the dining thread) that you shared a few pictures from your last breakfast. I've still never been there...one of these days!

What a magical trip.​

Brenda I've really enjoyed following along with your TR! I love how much you enjoy the CMs and the other "little things" at WDW. I hope that you'll be starting another TR soon!

 

[happy tink]

Very sad to have it end. Although I read the whole TR in 5 or 6ish days!

I've read all of Rob's TR's, now I will need to go back and finish yours.

Love Alex, I will be looking for him in December, for sure! The picture with Em and the Mayor, priceless!

I have a feeling we will meet up at DLR, one day. My next visit will be Aug 24 & 25. Let me know if your in the neighborhood.

 

[jmm476]

What a great last morning at the MK! And you have such great pictures to help tell the story. One of these days I will stop rushing from one attraction to the next so I can really enjoy the smaller details and the CMs. But until that happens, I will enjoy reading about them on your DRs and TRs. Thank you for spending the time to create your reports!

It has been fun following along on your August trip. I can't believe that it was almost a year ago! Where did the time go? You must not mind the August heat too much if you are planning another August trip. We are returning to WDW in September. We usually travel to Florida in the winter months, and I'm a litle worried about the heat.

 

[peachmermaid]

What a lovely morning. Relaxed last days are the way to go. The laugh floor is always so fun. I've never been to the stitch ride, sounds pretty fabulous though!

That cinderella is super pretty! Major props to the fur & face characters down there. They're so good at their job. Way to go Mary Poppins!

Southwest is so good. What a nice guy for giving free drinks! And you, for giving out your coupons to other passengers. You're so nice, Brenda. Go you!

 

[J.C.&ALI'SMOM]

I've enjoyed your report so much. What a wonderful vacation. I would love to take a girls only trip with my two princesses one day!

 

[TheMaxRebo]

aw, I will be sad to see this TR come to an end ... I mean, probably not as sad as you were to see the actual trip come to an end, but still

You had so much going on and did so many updates it is not surprising it took a while ... though it is kinda funny/interesting to see all the things that have changed since you started this TR ... no more paper fast passes, princesses have moved, Mine Train has opened, etc.

Looks like a blast with Alex - that must be fun for him to get to be the one having his picture taken for once!

 

[PlutosRHM55]

What a nice easy day to end your trip with! OMG, Alex is hysterical (and his selfie game was ON POINT). I don't know, but I feel like I might have seen him once on Main Street when I was just there... I forget. There probably were some other cool CMs catching my eye at the time haha Awww, that poor mayor, he looks so sad. :/

Love CP! I haven't done breakfast. Need to get on that one day! Awww, poor Mary. It amazes me how rarely you do see that, but that they manage to always stay in character. Those friends of face characters need to be paid extra on those hot days... BIG TIME (not to mention the fur characters who are outside).

Love all your photos with the princesses! All of them were very interested in what you were saying with your hands tho. You must've had some lovely conversations. Great photo of the fireworks burst btw!

Stitch's Great Escape: Classiest Attraction in WDW is right! Love that Chili smell (not). And that's so awesome how the guy with the urge to dance at the Laugh Floor actually DANCED. Right on, dude!

Mmmm, Plaza looks delish! Must check that place out next time I'm there. Great final photopass and I love when the crowd control CMs just have a little fun when they don't have to do anything. It's so cute!

I'm glad to hear you guys had a safe flight home! MCO security is the worst, but they usually are pretty efficient so it's not like you are just crammed in, but the line actually moves.

Cannot wait to read the final wrap-up!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

What a great trip! And such a fun report too! Thanks for sharing.

 

[TinkyCheeks]

What a great report. I've enjoyed the whole thing. It's always sad to see a trip end, but I think a Bloody Mary is a brilliant way to say goodbye.

 

[KatMark]

Brenda, what a great last partial day you had! From breakfast with my boyfriend (yes, I saw you hugging my Tigger), to seeing the Mayor with his frown, to meeting some royalty, getting in some rides (but WHY Stitch ) and learning how to take photos of yourself on the bus.

As always, I thoroughly enjoyed your TR. And can't wait for the recap and the next one.

A cocktail with adorable airplane cookies:

[/SIZE][/B][/COLOR][/CENTER]

Plane cookies? Seriously? I fly SWA all the time and I have never had plane cookies. I am very jealous. They must save those for the cross country flights.

Still very envious of the BLT lake view. It is really so lovely. I've only stayed at BLT once. I really need to change that. How super convenient for the last day of your trip. If I can change my February reservation I might just have to do that.

I agree that flying home in the evening is the way to go. Glad you had such a nice breakfast and lunch. Poor Mary Poppins sweating up a storm like that.

I really enjoyed your TR and look forward to your final wrap up and your newest adventure (whatever that is). I would think you are probably just about ready for a return visit.

So it looks like we are now on target for DL in June 2015 (unless we push it back to September). I'll keep you posted since I think you are now the unofficial DL ambassader for die-hard WDW folks.

 

[JulieODC]

I had a ton of catching up to do!!

What a fun evening -- sounds like a really fun boat ride, Illuminations looked beautiful, and so sweet about the engagement! And EEK about the gators!

And, love your DL dismeets!! How fun!!!

A TR truly is a labor of love...your reference to the length vs. time to have a baby seriously made me laugh!!

Your walk up Main St was so cute --Seriously, you guys make friends wherever you go! You had a VERY productive morning at MK -- I'm impressed.

I'm sad to see your TR coming to an end!! Hope you decide to a December one??

 

[courtneybelle]

Hi Brenda! Love those castle pictures. We just did Crystal Palace breakfast for the first time and it was easily my favorite meal of the trip! I loved the puffed French toast and the apple tarts.

Paper FPs?! I almost forgot about those!!

Great meet with Mary. I really wish I could have met those characters in Town Square but it was just too hot.

That banana split looks SO GOOD. I've been skipping the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor in favor of LeFou's Brew the past few trips, but I miss it!

 

[momabbate]

Brenda, Sorry I got so far behind. Sad to see this trip end but look forward to your next. This was an amazing trip and I am so glad you share it with us all.
