The take our time before chemo trip around the world About This Page:

[misty hailey]

I everyone We are in the world right now so I am trying to do this while here.

If you read my pre trip report you know I start chemo when I return home, so I am here taking my time with DH 44, DD 17 & DD6.

We arrived Saturday night Oct 3 around 8:30 on Southwest Smooth trip Full plane. Got to POFQ, checked in & received luggage at 1am. Hotel was clean, bathroom shower needed the handle fixed. They fixed it the next day after asking. So far no problems in the hotel. Off to bed.

Sunday Oct 4
We slept until 8:30, then we got out & headed to the bus stop. All 4 of us were like "where we going?" We hit the first bus & it was HS. It is still very hot & very crowded here It was 93. We ate at Starring Rolls cafe for a lite brunch, then off to the TOT. We had a fastpass & walked right on. DD 6 swore she wouldnt ride this, she decided to right as we get to the gate. Of course she swears she wont ride it again!! Then we went to Beauty & the Beast. Great show, & boy can the girl playing Belle sing! We strolled along to the Animation building. I remember someone posting that you could skip the preshow by going through the gift shop. It worked. We got in to see Sorcerer Mickey, the Incredibles, & the characters from Up. DH & DD 17 went in to draw Sorcerer Mickey. From there we went over to have a lite lunch at the commissary. So far loving free dining. From there we head to star tours & theres no wait. DD6 loves this ride. Its really hot, so we head to the hotel to take a quick break. Buses are very slow here for some reason, it took 30 minutes to get one from HS. We get to the room to drop off some stuff, take a break, then headed to DTD. Went to once upon a toy and DD 6 wanted to get a little pony where you fill the box with all you can. We go to pay & the lady opens the box & tells Alicia she didn’t have enough pieces. So she went & got a lot more & stuffed them in too. It was so sweet of her to make sure she had all the pieces. Did more shopping and sight seeing. We had a 5pm ADR for Fultons Crab House, but we head over about 4:20. Got right in. Excellent server, food & atmosphere!! Loved it. It is pricey, & not on the dining plan, but well worth it! Tonite magic Kingdom is open till 1am so after some shopping & a boatride to the hotel, we head there. Its very crowded, but we head to BTM. 40 minute wait, but it moved very quickly. Then on to POC with no wait. Its getting close to 10 now, so the parks thinned some. We hit JC, Goofys barnstormer, Buzz Lightyear, The TTA had a wait, got on, rode around twice, SM is really weird!!
But there is a ton left to do on it I hope they can open it in November. Then we hit BTM again, got a funnel cake & decided to take a break. On to Jungle Cruise, then we took pictures of all the Fall decorations. Sat until the crowds thinned more, then off to the bus stop. It took 35 minutes for a bus & then we got in at 1am. Tired, we hit the bed!

Monday, Oct 5

Slept in this morning till 10am. We were worn out! Then we hit DD again to do more shopping. DD got her face painted, but bless her, in the heat it didn’t last. But it was really cute. Still very hot here, but only one shower today and it was only at MK!! When we left DD, somehow we got on the wrong bus so we ended up at POR instead. So we ate lunch here and then walked to POFQ. Took a break, then headed out to MK. We bought some prints at Barns & Noble for 9.99 each to have signed. When we got here we found they were 17.99 each so we did good. We waited in line 50 minutes to see Ariel for her to sign our print & for Alicia to see. She was a great one too. We were only here for that & to wait until our CM ADR. It started to rain, so we got on the monorail & rode around 3 times. Then we went into the Contemporary & wandered around. Plus they have 5 coin machines. So Alicia loved this! Our ADR was at 6:35 & we checked in at 5:45 & got right in. We had our family picture made & it was awesome. We never make a good picture LOL!!! So I bought it. Dinner was noisy & the food was ok but we had fun. Love free dining!

Next…
Were headed to HS for EMH.

Sounds like a great trip so far.

[misty hailey]

Let me just say I am loving EMH!! Walk right on the rides so far. TSM was a 30 minutes wait, but it was a great ride At the very end, it broke & it was our car!! LOL Took about 10 minutes to fix. Walked on all the other rides. We got there around 7:20 & stayed in the park until everyone else had left which is a very cool feeling being there with almost no people. We went to the dance party at Playhouse but it was a nightmare not at all like last year. It was packed & not many people believe in making kids behave anymore. Sorry to say that, but some kids were being told what to do by the CM’s. Anyhoo we left there & hit TGMR with no line. Then TSM, R & RC & TOT. I got my usual Tangerine jellybeans at the Villans store (love those things!!) Then sat on a bench & people watched until we left. Tomorrow night, the Halloween party!!!

On a side note, I have a family that likes to sleep late on vacation. Weve had a maid 2 days in a row who has been the sweetest person. She brings us towels because we don’t need the room done every morning, & talks so sweet. I tip her even though she didn’t clean it. So there is still some CM’s who like to be nice here.)

Glad the crowds are low!

Misty, you are truly enjoying Disney as you should enjoy it. At your own pace, going wherever the next bus takes you. Sounds like a great time. Keep enjoying it. And good luck when you get home.
