Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Disclaimer - During the usual obsession about trip planning I took some advice to heart and made a promise/pledge. I would throw out all the spreadsheets and go with the flow. Let's see just how long this philosophy lasts.....I am just full of surprises. Some actual surprises like not telling my kids that we were going to cruise on the Dream and follow that up with an extra week at the Fort. Then there was having to let one partially out of the bag due to someone's birthday something another. I had, other than Lou, managed to not tell a single fiend I was coming for Halloween UNTIL Doodle & Lorna set the date for the Birthday Tea....This TR picks up just after we disembark from the Dream. Here are a few shots from the end of CTSTGTTW.... just to start us off in the right place.23 months since we last saw ya but who is counting?A most beautiful site -We pulled right on up. I don't think they had gotten the my fax request (we'd tried an online service) but he did have a few sights we would be interested in. We grabbed one of those in the 1400 loop. There was a catch it wouldn't be ready until after 1pm and the overflow was full. I had texted Doodle a picture of the check-in packet and she texted me to go back and ask for 922 or 924. That is exactly what I did.The welcoming committee -Lunch was served here... yum! I had the BBQ.....After lunch was done, what was the first exciting thing I did? Then after that we decided to head out and pick up our AP's. Yes, I sprung (worked doggedly to convince IH) for the Annual Passes. I will foreshadow this TR and say it makes a world of difference in how you experience the parks. We chose DHS for our Inaugural Park.Here it is, my first WDW AP -Now what to do first. My family has thus far been a bit unthrill ride people. I however love the thrill rides. So we decided, since TSM was way out of the question, to split up. IH (imaginary husband) took the IK (imaginary kids) off to ride Star Tours (due to 3D motion sickness I can't ride this one) and I headed to TOT. My second first at WDW, a ride on TOT. Many years ago on my only WDW trip sans IKs & IH, back when DHS had another name, they still had animators animating on site (pochantas), they were building TOT.The line was pretty much walk on till right before you enter the Hotel -Should I be worried?One last shot before I headed into the TV room -Against my better judgement -After that I met up with IH & IKs then we headed back to the Fort. It had been a long 24 hours and we wanted to pace ourselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
