Chase's bday celebration trip. About This Page:

[Connieq288]

Well we finally made it home last night. Boy am I tired. It didnt hit until this morning how tired I am but it was well worth it. We had 9 nights and 8 full days at Disney.

It was my and hubby and our 3 kids. Christian (11), Chase (turned 9 while there) and Ciara (2). This was the best week to go. Most of the times we had no lines or very short lines at the rides. We also had the Deluxe Meal Plan.

Friday the 4th we arrived to Coronado Springs resort around 8pm. We went to our room and then the kids wanted to go to the pool. Nothing much happened that day. We came in a back entrance near the AK and no one was around. For a minute I thought we werent at Disney. There was absolutely no cars around.

Saturday the 5th. This was our first official day. This was when our package started. We had to check out and then recheck in cause the first night was just a room only reservation. We had a breakfast reservation at CRT. We headed to the MK at opening. We got to see the rope drop. My son Christian and I went and rode the Buzz Lightyear ride first while my husband and other son Chase went to go and find Stitch hands. My son loves Stitch. After that we headed down to the castle to go to breakfast. It was at 9:55 am. On our way we met Lady Tremaine and her daughters. THey were a hoot. My daughter and I got our pic taken with them. Lady Tremaine asked me what land we hailed from and I said that we were Queens. Our real last name is Queen. She started bowing to us and telling her daughters that we were royalty and then asked us to invite them to our next ball. It was quite funny. We made it to the castle around 9:30 and checked in and got called in right away. It was great. We had our pics done with Cinderella and we got 2 packages so one is all of us with her and the other one is just my boys. We got to meet all of the princesses except for Ariel. After breakfast we didnt do to much there. We rode the teacups and the carosel with absolutely no waits. Then we headed back to the resort and met my sister and her husband at their resort which was Port Orleans. We went swimming there and then headed back to our resort for a little and went swimming at ours. I liked our pool better. That night we had Dinner at Whispering Canyon. It was fun but it was actually something that I could probably do without. Then we went back to our resort and of course the kids went swimming again. oh Yea we also had to go to the Lego store. That was all the kids wanted to do that day. So we added that in somewhere. Then bed time.

I will add more later. I still have Sunday through Saturday to do LOL.

Time for more.
Sunday 9-6 We had breakfast at Hollywood and Vine with the Playhouse Disney characters. My Dh loved this breakfast and wants to go back when its just him and me in May. They had Leo and June and Goliath and JoJo. It was a buffet and the food was really good. Then we rode some of the rides at DHS. My son got picked for the Jedi Training Academy. He loved it of course. HE got to fight against Darth Vader. Then we rode Star Tours and walked around alot looking at different things. My sister and her stepson met us there. We got pics with Lighting McQueen and Mater. DD2 loves them. I rode the Tower of Terror with my sis and her stepson. It was awesome. I couldnt get anyone from my family to ride it though. We ate lunch at Sci-Fi. Kids loved it. We actually went an hour earlier then our reservation and she was able to sit us so that was cool. When we left there the line was huge so Im glad we got in when we did. We went back to the hotel for a break and some swimming and then later on we went back to DHS. We had Dinner at 50's Primetime. IT was ok but still fun. Our waitress ( she was called our cousin) had 2 other tables sign a bday card for Chase. He thought that was neat. Then my son rode Star Tours like 3 times. HE loved it. THe wait was only 5 minutes all day long. Then I met my sis and we went and rode Rock'nRoller coaster. It was fun. While we were eating my sis kept saying the wait was only 5 minutes and by the time I got over there Fantasmic had gotten out and the wait was 60 minutes. Unfortunately it was the only thing I rode but we still had fun.

Monday 9-7 Dh and I went golfing at Oaktrail while my sis watched the kids for us. We didnt stay long though. Then we came back and we went to AK for a little with my sis and her son. We were able to do the Kali River Rapids with about 20 minute wait but got babyswap so 2nd time (when I got to go) was just a few minutes. Then I rode Expedition Everest with sis and her son. (my family doesnt ride any coasters). Then we left there and me and the boys headed to Blizzard Beach. We stayed there for a couple of hours. Then we went back to the hotel and headed down to Downtown Disney. We had dinner at Planet Hollywood. Kids loved it there. We walked around for a while. Avoided the Lego Store LOL. Then just headed back to hotel for the night.

Tuesday 9-8 We just got some muffins from the hotel using snack credits. Then we headed to MK for our 9am Pirates League reservation for the boys. DS11 didnt want to do it so we let DS8 do the expensive one. HE got the 3 eyed jack and looked awesome. We were there for about an hour. DD2 was getting a little restless so I took her out and we met Captain Hook and Smee. Then me and the boys rode Pirates. We had an 11:35 reservation for Crystal Palace. I have to say the place is really pretty but this was the one that I liked the least. But at least I tried it. We got to meet Winnie, Eeyore, Piglet and Tigger. We rode the train around and went to Toon Town. The kids loved the barnstormer. I went through Minnies house with DD2. Then we headed back to the hotel. My sis came and stayed with the kids while DH and me went to eat at Narcoossee's. We had 8:45 reservations. We went to the MK first(parked at the Grand Floridian and just took the boat over). I actually got my DH on Splash Mountain. He actually liked it to. When we were at dinner and the fireworks were about to start the dimmed the whole restaraunt and let people go outside on the balcony and watch them. It was really nice. Dinner was good. I got the Maine lobster. Thank goodness for the dining plan. Just for the 2 of us it was almost $200. Then we headed back to the hotel.

I will do the rest later. Still have Wed through Saturday to do.
