Corinne Explains It All TR - from a 9-yr-old's point-of-view!! About This Page:

[Cam22]

Cory, I'm loving your TR!

[mcc0313]

I am loving your TR, glad that you gave the mansions a try. I always want to stay there but we travel with 5 so we don't get a chance. So did you end up liking the mansions?

[BelmontBelle]

Cory you're doing a great job on your trip report! I can't wait to hear more!

[Nimros]

This is Cory - Thanks, everyone for reading my trip report!

And yes, I did end up liking the mansions. Good question!

[Nimros]

THE MAGIC KINGDOM!!!!! Yay! My personal favorite Disney park! Mostly because of all the rides and stuff like that.

We got up in the morning and got ready, but afterwards Nimros wasn’t feeling very good. Me and Kelley tried to convince her she was going to feel good in the end, and it worked. She sat outside by the fountain for a while, but we eventually made it to the bus stop.

There was NO ONE on the bus. Nimros soon got better, and I’m sure if you’d seen Kelley’s face and heard her chat excitedly, you would’ve too.

Kelley can be so precious sometimes, but the next minute you wish for some peace and quiet! She talks a lot, and she would probably have a trophy for it if it was a contest.

Anyway, once we got there, we took our traditional photo in the front of the gates. There were Mickey hula-hoops, but soon they were destroyed due to children playing with them. One little boy was exceptionally good, with a very unique technique. We all clapped for him.

Once the gates opened and we got inside, I started crying with happiness. I was very glad Nimros was with me because she hugged me instead of questioning me like my Dad did. What’s wrong? Why is she crying? He drives me crazy.

It was off to Tomorrowland then, for Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin. It was a walk-on. I scored pretty good, Kelley scored… pretty bad, Nimros’s wasn’t bad, and, of course, Dad got “Galactic Hero”, BECAUSE our car was delayed and he could reach a target! I couldn’t, and for the longest time I couldn’t even figure out how to shoot! I assure you my score would’ve been better if I’d known…

Next we tried to take a little Tour Guide Mike shortcut, and it turns out the shortcut wasn’t open yet. I never did like that guy – and besides, Passporter is my ‘thing’. After a quick bathroom break, we headed over to Fantasyland and Me and Kelley had a quick ride on the Teacups. We chose a yellow-and-pink teacup. Just as the ride was about to start, we catch sight of Alice leading a little boy and a little girl to a teacup, chatting as she did so. It was so cute! After the ride, we went in line to go to Mickey’s Toontown fair, to see the fairies at Pixie Hollow.

We waited a while, but soon they moved the ropes, and we hurried to Pixie Hollow. On our way in, we saw Mickey, and I felt a little guilty because no one stopped to see him. I guess Mickey’s just not that popular anymore…

There were a few people in line to see the princesses, but it seemed like the fairy line was bigger to me. We were one of the first people in line. They let the first group in, and then we waited for our turn. The Cast Member there noticed my Birthday button and asked me (by my name) to name all the fairies in Pixie Hollow; Rosetta, Iridessa, Fawn, Tinkerbell and Sivermist. Then we went to Pixie Hollow. They did a neat job with designing the ‘magical’ hall place.

The first fairy we got to meet was Iridessa. She seemed a bit rushed (being the first fairy in line, who wouldn’t?).

Next was Tinkerbell. She asked me how old I was going to be, and then asked Kelley how old she was. Hearing that she was eleven, Tinkerbell said “You’re gonna stop at twelve, right? Don’t wanna be any older than that.”

Finally, we got up to Rosetta. She asked us where we were from, and hearing that we were from Tennessee, said “Oh! So that’s where you play Tennis in the sea, isn’t it?”

I have to admit, Tinkerbell was probably the best because she actually interacted with us.

Then we left Pixie Hollow and headed outside. Dad had to have something with caffeine in it. So we had to stop and buy him a coke (he used, like, ALL our snack credits that day!)

Up Next: I’m not sitting there!

Great job! My oldest daughter is 10, but I've never thought to have her do a trip report! Next trip she'll have to do one! Is your mom
counting this as schoolwork?

[Colexis Mom]

Another great update!! Fun times at MK (except for Dad using all your snack credits! )!!

[vfair]

Really am enjoying your trip report. My daughter just turned 12 - guess she has to stop getting older now, huh?

[mcc0313]

What a great morning at MK. I am glad you had a wonderful time with the fairies. My daughter turned 9 right before our trip and she liked Tinkerbell the best too. You are really doing a great job on your report and I love hearing everything from your view. Sorry your dad used so many of your snack credits...hope he shared some of his snacks with you too

[chezp]

What a wonderful update - I had tears welling up at the crying with happiness bit.
