Im Home! And Mickey Says Hello!!!
We just got back from WDW and Jeff and I had such a fantastic and magical time!!! I did NOT want to come home at all but of course I missed everyone on LIF. What did I miss around here?? Thank you to every1 who helped me plan this trip, ur all the best!!!!
Check out my album pics!!
(sorry for the random order)

*******************************
My Disney Review:
JetBlue: A
Smooth ride going down to Florida, had direct tv which made the time fly by. On the way back tho the ride was bumpy and the plane was filled with kids so by then my nerves are kind of shot with kids lol
Florida Weather: A
It only rained one time, we were soo lucky!! Altho I got an awesome Mickey Umbrella AFTER it rained courtesy of Jeffrey who tracked one down at a shop. Ponchos and Umbrellas were actually so hard to find which was weird!!! The rest of the time it was sunny 90 degrees--yet somehow Im NOT tan!!!!! grr
Kids and Folks in Disney: A
I give parents alot of credit, I was exhausted just watching some of them haul around all there bags, strollers, and sleeping or screaming kids. Altho I will say I dont see how or why some pple would bring tiny infants to a park, it seems like such a waste of money and truly exhausting for the parents.. jmo tho!! I will say that when i saw happy children lighting up at the amazing magical happenings it made me yearn for the day I have kids too bring to disney..
Crowds/Wait Time A+
If your going to WDW going in Septemeber is the best idea!!! The Parks were so empty!! We never waited for any ride!!! The longest we waited was about 8 minutes!!! And we were getting fast pass just for the heck of it!
Our Hotel:
Caribean Beah Resort B+
It is set up in Villas.. Very quiet and our area was "Jamaica" which had its own pool and no kids around. Altho b/c the villas are sooo wide spread it was alot of walking. Luckily "Jamaica" had a bridge that took us to the food and bus stops. The rooms were clean, and beautiful vibrant colors..
Altho...If we could do it again we would stay at the Polynesian Resort---gorgeous hotel!!!
Disney Transportation: B+
Altho the buses come alot to the hotel to take you to each park--if you have dinner plans at another hotel it was a MAJOR hastle to get there!! It was very "roundabout" and wasted alot of time. I highly recommend spending the extra money to stay at a resort that has the monorail!!!!
In this order I loved the parks..
#1. Magic Kingdom
#2. MGM
#3. Epcot
(we did not go to the Animal Kingdom)
My fave things.. DONT MISS!!!:
Magic Kingdom:
Jungle Cruise--great tour guide!
Pirattes of the Caribean--yum Jack Sparrow
Spalsh Mountain--You get wet :)
Thunder Mountain Railroad--A few twists
Its A Small World--my first disney ride ever!
Peter Pans Flight--totally awesome
Snow White Scary Adventure--Sooo cool!!
Winnie Pooh--Sooo good!!!!!
Philiharmagic--Awesome 3D Show
Mickeys Toon Town--Kiddie fun, great place for pics!!
Space Mountain: I went on the slower version--the scary version was not for me
Fireworks @ Nite were gorgeous!!!
Food: Casey Corner-- yum hotdogs and fritters!!
Cosmic Ray's--Excellent food, and the kosher meal was good as well (Jeff just got it to try lol)
MGM Studios...
We saw every show in the park and I cant rave enuff about it...
Indian Jones--(cute guy) amazing show!!!
Lights, Motor, Action-- the stunts were awesome
Little Mermaid BLEW US AWAY!!! MUST SEE!!
Beauty and the Beast-- I totally cried, it was beautiful!!
Honey I shrunk the Kids
Fantasmic-- Nite time Animation/Fireworks
THE BEST SHOW WE SAW ALL WEEK!! NEED TO BE SEATED EARLY
Food: Toy Story Pizza: Delicious Pizza and Salad
Epcot:
Walking around the countries was really nice, but make sure it isnt too hot!!! The beer was good and alot of shops are cutesy!.. The coolest ride here was..
Soarin-- simulators of hang gliding
Living with land--cool greenhouse tour
Mission Space-- Really fun inside the Epcot Ball
Dining Plan: A++
TOTALLY WORTH THE MONEY!! We ate like kings and queens--so much in fact that we canceled some reservations cause if i had to eat again I would throw up!!!
Food:
We ate alot!!!!!!!!!
Ohana (Polynesian Resort)
All you can eat of pork,chicken, steak..salads, chips, dessert, shrimp...the food was endless...the hotel was awesome...great ambiance :)
AWESOME VIEW OF MAGIC KINGDOM FIREWORKS!
California Grill
Amazing Food..Great Service..We had the best seat in the house for the fireworks altho it rained, still soooooo romantic!!!
Le Cellier:
Very cool decor in "Canada" and really yummy foods. We got steak and chicken and I was stuffed!!!
Breakfast w/ Characters at The Crystal Palace. Fun to eat with all the characters and take pics...plus AMAZING FOOD BREAKFAST BUFFET!!!
Characters: A+
We were able to get pics with almost every character, they were so friendly and took so much time to sign autographs and snap photos despite the insane heat!!!
*****************************
As you can see we had a great time...Please fm me with questions b/c everyone else was SOOOO helpful to me--I feel like a pro now :)

Re: Im Home! And Mickey Says Hello!!!
Welcome home....I'm sure it must've been so hard coming back to reality. I know when I had just been there I did NOT want to come home. My mom and I are dying to go back again. Well, it looks like you had a blast...that's great  September is an awesome time to go. I just went August 21st and the parks were empty as well....it was awesome. Well, again welcome back

I'm glad you had such a good time. I'm going on friday, and for some reason, i'm worried that it's not going to be hot. I guess I don't have to worry about that!

Re: Im Home! And Mickey Says Hello!!!
Michi, I am glad you had a good time!
Did you make reservations for dinner before you left, or once you arrived at Disney? I think I want to do one or two of the nice meals and don't know if we should call now and reserve, or wait until we get there.
