Day 6 - Monday, November 19th, 2001

We got our wake up call at 7:25 a.m. and did all the usual morning stuff and headed out to MGM
Studios today for our free character that we received with our Canadian 7 day park hopper
passes. We decided to eat at Hollywood and Vine since we had never eaten there before and we
thought it would be a good chance to get Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale’s autographs. We
had priority seating at 9:00 a.m., but when we got off the bus we could see that even though they
had opened the turnstiles, the line up to go through security was unspeakably long. We finally
tracked down a cast member to ask what we should do so that we were not late for our priority
seating. She instructed us to go to the far right line that is specifically for early priority seating
guests. When we arrived there (at the farthest right line, which was as long as the others), we
asked several people if they were in this line for early PS’s. I received a no each time I asked,
but luckily somebody in the same position as us, also trying to find this far right line that they
were told to find as well, overheard me and kind of took charge. They were quite aggressive
people, so we just followed them as we cut to the front of the line and explained our situations.
We hated doing this, so if we cut in front of anyone that morning that happens to be reading
this...we apologize! We finally made it onto Hollywood Boulevard and Jennifer saw a cast
member with a sign that said something like “priority seating guests”. We told her we had a
9:00 a.m. PS at Hollywood and Vine, so she let us through and told us to go quickly.

We made it to the podium and were ushered in immediately. I know that we were late, but not
by much. This restauraant is a lively and loud place. We only wish that we would have
requested a later PS time as neither of us were very hungry. It is an all you can eat breakfast
buffet and unfortunately we only went up once and neither of us finished what we had on our
plates. We weren’t overly impressed with the food here and wouldn’t go again. I can’t put my
finger on why, perhaps it has something to do with us not being hungry.

After breakfast, we headed for Indiana Jones which Jennifer had never seen. She enjoyed the
show as did I. We then did Star Tours 2 times. On the 2nd time on Star Tours, there was no
sound that accompanied the ride, so they let us ride again without going back through the line
again.

After all my trips to Disney, I had never been inside Toy Story Pizza Planet Arcade, so I had
some money changed into tokens and we spent the next little while playing games. That is
something I never do at home! We had a ball! Really, sometimes I don’t know who is the
bigger kid...Jennifer or I? On our way out, we saw a statue of a toy soldier from the Toy Story
movie. I asked Jennifer to take a picture of me standing beside it and I would take her picture
with it after. Well, I’m sure you can guess what happened next...the darn thing wasn’t a
statue...it was real! I just about jumped out of my skin and I’m sure everyone heard me scream
when the soldier make a move to hug me! Too funny!

Next up was the Muppets Show and then we headed back to see if the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
Move Set Adventure was opened but it was not. We did find those large doughy pretzels at the
Studio Catering Co. and were just about to leave to go to see Who Wants To Be A Millionaire -
Play It, but again the skies opened up and down poured for a while. When it was reduced to a
sprinkle, we made our way up Mickey Avenue to find the entrance. We waited for about 5
minutes at the front of the building (what we thought was the entrance to get in), only to be told
by a cast member that the entrance was at the side of the building and to hurry and we should
have no problem getting in. We ran there only to be told by a not so friendly cast member that
we were a minute or two late to get in. I was not a happy camper.

We decided to move on to the new Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream exhibit/movie, which is a
must do if you’re a Walt Disney (the man) fan. Jennifer actually enjoyed this too. It think it
gave her some insight as to the man (and the Mouse) who started it all.

We then went to see up close and personal Mickey’s Sorcerer’s hat that they have erected for
Walt Disney’s 100th Birthday Celebration in front of The Great Movie Ride and this is where we
purchased a wonderful gift for Jennifer. It was the hand held Mickey computer game (read more
about this at the end of this trip report under the heading of “A few observations”).

We next headed towards Rock’n Roller Coaster which is a must do for me. I knew there was no
way that I would get Jennifer on this one if she didn’t enjoy Splash Mountain, so I asked her if
she would mind going through the line-up with me until we get to the “limo’s” where I knew
those who weren’t riding could go through a door which leads to the gift store. It’s a wonderful
way for those who don’t want to ride, to see what the limos look like and just how fast they go at
take-off. I knew she would be fine in the gift shop while I rode and I didn’t feel a bit
apprehensive doing it as I knew just how short this ride is.

While in the line-up, however, we met a wonderful family with 4 children, all of whom are
home schooled. Now this just fascinates me as I don’t know of one single person in my city who
is or has been home schooled. The children were amazed at Jennifer’s hand held Mickey game
and they all had a great time figuring it out. It really made the hour wait go by fast. The mother
and I talked non-stop and the kids were the same. It was in this line-up that we also met up with
A LOT of kids in matching orange t-shirts with a school name on the front of it. I asked where
they were from and they said they were from Georgia. When they asked where we from and I
told them Canada, well...you would have thought that I said outer space! Their jaws dropped
and their eyes grew wide. I asked them why they were surprised and asked if they thought all
Canadians were Eskimos and they said “yeah”! I couldn’t believe it! It was priceless. I swear
throughout the rest of the wait in the line-up they stared at us non-stop while asking us questions
about Canada and snow and cold, etc. It was too funny. I guess Americans (at least these kids)
don’t learn a lot about their North American neighbors. LOL!

We then found a spot on the parade route to watch the new parade. I am so relieved to not have
to watch the Mulan parade again. How many years was that MGM’s parade? Too many, I say!
We found a spot on the stairs in front of the old Super Star Television (I think that’s what it was
called). That was a great spot to watch as there are no viewing spots across the street from
where we were, so we always had the characters turned our way to wave to the crowd on the
stairs, which is great for taking pictures! We really enjoyed this parade and appreciated very
much the work they put in to making the cars which are the floats.

We were getting hungry, so we made our way to the ABC Commissary where I had the
Cheeseburger with fries - $5.99 and Jennifer had the Child Fish and Chips - $3.49 and I had a
medium Coke - $1.99.

We were getting too tired to go on, so we headed back to our resort to buy and write out
postcards for our loved ones back home. We went to the food court to buy a single scoop of ice
cream in a cup for Jennifer and we watched TV before saying goodnight.

Day 7 - Tuesday, November 20th, 2001

This was our last day at the parks and we were “up an’ at ‘em” at 6:55 a.m. We ate breakfast at
the food court and made our way to the bus stop to head to the Magic Kingdom. It’s a really
good idea to get there first thing in the morning. We were able to ride Big Thunder Mountain 5
times in a row before we moved on to the Haunted Mansion. We then went to Pecos Bills for
their hamburgers with their yummy toppings bar.

We made one last stop at Scuttle’s Landing for our last Disney Frozen Coke before we headed to
the bus stop to head back for the resort pool. We got back to the resort at around 12:30 and
stayed by the pool until 3:00 p.m. We showered and changed and went straight to Epcot. On
this night we went to Ice Station Cool were we sampled all the drinks. Oddly enough, Beverly is
not that offensive to me. It was to Jennifer, however! What a face! LOL!

We headed towards World Showcase and took a right towards Canada where we spoke to the
Cast Members who were very happy to be talking to somebody from “home”. We made a quick
stop at the Rose and Crown at the United Kingdom to make sure that our PS’s were showing up
on their computer and also to state that we were keeping our fingers crossed that we would have
outside seating tonight. As usual, they said that they couldn’t guarantee it , but would do their
best.

We then went directly to France to see the Living Statue where I absolutely coaxed Jennifer to
go have her picture taken with her. Red cheeked, she finally agreed to do it. Of course the
statue grabbed Jennifer’s Mickey Ball headband and held them up so Jennifer had to jump to get
them back. She got off easy as a man, who had a knapsack on, was posing with the statue while
his wife/girlfriend took his picture, had his wallet stolen from the statue (I don’t know how she
unzippered his knapsack that fast without him knowing). As he was walking back to his spot,
she showed the crowd his wallet which she held way up over her head (and of course, she’s on a
raised pedestal) so he couldn’t reach it. She finally put her hands behind her back and leaned
over motioning to her cheek that she wanted a kiss. Of course, he kissed her cheek, so she gave
the wallet back. Again, he was on his way back to his spot among the crowd when all of the
sudden she showed us that she had managed to get some money out of his wallet. Well, of
course the audience was really laughing now so he turned around to get his money back. She
motioned to the ground, so he had to get down on his hands and knees and beg for the money
back. It was hilarious!

We made our way around to Japan to wait for the 6:30 pm Tapestry of Dreams parade where we
purchased a Kaki Gori for Jennifer and found a nice spot on a bench on the Japan/America
border close to the Funnel Cake stand (which of course we had to have - see what they have
done differently to the Funnel Cakes since September 11th at the end of this trip report under “A
Few Observations”). Again, we met a nice family that consisted of an elderly mother and father
who had taken their 40 something single daughter with them. It was very sweet how caring they
were to each other. The mother was in a wheel chair (and from what I could see had no legs)
and the father was a very frail elderly man. We had a great conversation with them while we
waited for the parade to begin.

Jennifer had never seen this parade and absolutely loved it. The puppets came down several
times to her and we both are absolutely in love with the music. We are so disappointed that we
didn’t find the CD with that music on it before we had to come back home. We hummed that
music for the rest of the evening and every once in while, even now, 2 months later, one of us
will break out humming it.

After saying a fond farewell to our wonderful bench-mates, we headed back towards United
Kingdom where we had a PS at the Rose and Crown for 7:30 p.m. Once there, we heard my all-
time favorite musical entertainers (yup, even more than my countries very own Off Kilter!) -
British Invasion! Jennifer was totally mortified when I started to sing along with the crowd and
half started to dance. She threatened that she would run away if I didn’t stop. LOL! Do you
think that stopped me? Not a chance!!!! So instead I plunked her at a Kidcot Station to make a
mask (something I tried to talk her into throughout each trip to the World Showcase on our trip,
but she said no way. This time she was so happy to get away from her embarrassing mother that
she couldn’t wait to sit down and make a mask!). I slipped a few feet a way to get a closer look
at British Invasion and kept a close eye on Jennifer. When it was getting really close to our PS
at Rose and Crown, I actually had to drag her away from the Kidcot Station. She was surprised
at how much fun it was to make the mask and blamed me for not making her do it earlier in the
trip so she could have gone to each country for a stamp. Go figure!!!

We presented ourselves to the check in area at the Rose and Crown and received our “Cricket
Palm Pilots” as we liked to call it. This was new since November 2000. It is about the size of
the hand-held Sega Game Boy and it comes with a little pencil-like pointer. It’s not easy to
describe, but it has a computerized map of Epcot and when you point to each area, it gives you a
small description of each area and, if I recall correctly, it shows you a picture of some of dishes
at the Rose and Crown (and maybe other eateries as well. I wish I would have written about it in
my trip book as it’s hard to remember now). When it is your time to dine, you hear Crickets
chirping. Unfortunately, the battery in ours died twice, so we had to turn it in twice. One hour
later (8:30), we were still waiting for a table and a little worried that we wouldn’t be able to have
any seating for Illuminations (and since this was our last night at Disney, we wouldn’t be able to
return to see it later in our trip). I made my way up to the podium, just to inquire if maybe there
was something wrong with their “Crickets”. I was told that, yes, they were having problems
with them and they seated us immediately while apologizing profusely.

We had hoped to get on the lower level outside, but instead were seated under the canopy on the
top level, which was fine as well. The place was full and by the time we ordered, Illuminations
had started. They were very quick at bringing our meals though. Jennifer ordered the child’s hot
dog plate - $4.99 and I ordered the Sampler Pies (yum!) - $15.99 and coke - $2.00.

We both absolutely loved Illuminations. It just seems to get better with every passing year. It
takes my breath away! I can’t even tell you how happy we were to be sitting there. Another
misty-eyed moment (there were many this trip).

We slowly headed the long way around World Showcase talking about our trip and how much
fun we had. At the bus stop, we ran into a family who now live in the U.S., but they had lived in
Bathurst, New Brunswick which is only a 3-hour drive from where we live. They were really
happy to be talking to somebody from “home”.

Back at the resort, Jennifer was exhausted and fell asleep, so I went to the front desk to request
an early check out. A bus must have just dropped off 20 people at the beginning of their
vacation and they were lined up to check in. What a long wait only to be told that somebody
would have been at the desk at 4:30 a.m. when we were being picked up by Mears.

I shuffled by exhausted body back to our room, requested a wake up call for 4:00 a.m. and
packed both mine and Jennifer’s suitcases. It was lights out for me at 1:30 a.m. Can you spell
T-I-R-E-D?

Going home day (day 8) and "A few observations" coming up...

Day 8 - Wednesday, November 21st, 2001 (my sister’s birthday and our return home day)

Sure enough the wake-up call came at 4:00 a.m. and since I had only gotten to bed at 1:30 a.m., I
was in a daze and wanted so badly to roll over and go back to sleep. But I knew that my husband
and oldest daughter would be really disappointed if we didn’t get off the airplane at home (not to
mention my office the next day!). So up we got (it was not easy getting Jennifer up at this hour!)
and got ready and reluctantly left our room to find Mears just pulling up at the bus stop. There
was another mother and her two kids (ages 3 and 4) already in the van. They were from Texas
and she had taken a mother/daughters trip as well. I’m still amazed that she did it alone with 2
young children. She said she was totally exhausted and applauded me for choosing to take one
daughter at a time and said that is what she will do from now on. We talked the whole way to
the airport - it kept us awake. She said she would be home long before lunch and felt bad for us
when we said we won’t be home until supper time.

Our terminal was first, so out we got. It was a long wait until our 8:15 a.m. flight and very hard
to stay awake. We were so happy to get on the plane so that we could lean our heads on
something and close our eyes. We knew we needed to get some shuteye as we had a 3 hour wait
in Toronto, Ontario.

However, we finally made it home save and sound at 4:45 p.m. to find my husband, our oldest
daughter and Jennifer’s best friend waiting to welcome us home. Jennifer’s friend had even
made a sign out of bristol board welcoming her home and brought it to the airport. Very sweet.

You know, as much fun as it is at Disney World, it’s always good to be home!


A FEW OBSERVATIONS, TIPS, MISCELLANEOUS, ETC.:

Just a few words about the turbo toilets. I don’t remember hearing them in November 2000.
This trip, I heard them loud and clear and very, very often. Loud enough to wake me up.

Regarding facing Andy’s room at the All Star Movie Resort. Be aware that kids, young and old,
are drawn to this area like magnets. And they are by no means quiet when they are playing
there. The noise started as early as 5:30 a.m. and lasted until well after midnight. I do have to
confess though that on our trip of November 2000 (when it was an adult trip only), my best
friend and I got a wee bit tipsy from the yard of ale we consumed at the Rose and Crown, and
upon our return to the All Star Movies late one night, I was determined to climb to the top of the
blocks in Andy’s room to have my picture taken. Well, you can imagine all the laughter that
went on as my husband and our friends tried to shove me atop the blocks. (It never occurred to
me until we had our photos developed that I was on top of the blocks that spell out “Buzz”, and
yup, I was buzzed alright.) When I told my friends about how noisy it was facing Andy’s room
and asked the question of why couldn’t the parents control their children late at night from
making so much noise, she smiled and quickly reminded me of all the noise we must have made
that night while trying to get me up on the blocks. Uh-oh!!!!! LOL!

The refillable mugs have to be the best value ever! My husband and I purchased them on our
November 2000 trip and thankfully we remembered to pack them this time and got lots and lots
of use of them. What a great deal!

Tip to all future travelers. Buy a new knapsack that has only one zippered area. Not knowing
any better, I brought a knapsack that has 3 front zippers and two smaller ones on either side. It
took a lot of time to go through each and every compartment when entering each park’s security
check. That is the best tip I can give to anyone.

Great buy #1: the headband I bought for Jennifer with Mickey shaped heads on the springy coils
(there’s gotta be an easier name for these!). What an attention getter! She got so many
comments from cast members. They mostly asked her how many channels she could pick up
with those things. She was also called an alien. Many of them just simply came up to her and
pulled them just to see them spring back and forth on her head. She especially liked the
attention you get from the characters while wearing them. She wore them our whole trip,
including the plane ride home.

Great buy #2: The hand held Mickey computer game (Magical Moments Game - $19.99).
Jennifer never once complained (after we bought it) about the line-ups or waits in restaurants. It
really kept her satisfied and definitely caught the curiosity of other people as well. We had some
great conversations with people that asked about the game in line-ups.

Bus service was incredible, but do they have to make turn the air conditioning up quite that
high?

Housekeeping was fantastic. Jennifer was absolutely thrilled to find her stuffed animals
arranged in a different way for her almost every day when we returned to our room from the
parks. Two arrangements that really stick out in my mind, however, were: her “stuffies” were
propped up at the end of the bed with one holding the remote control pointed towards the
television (which was turned on to the Disney Station). Very cute. The other arrangement was
housekeeping had put a towel over a chair in our room and put all of Jennifer’s “stuffies” on the
chair. The chair was then pushed up to the window (with the curtain pulled around to the back
of the chair). Of course, it looked like Jennifer’s stuffies were watching and waiting for her to
get back. She was always so anxious to get off the bus and back to the room to see what little
piece of magic the had constructed for her.

Weather was not as good as last year. It showered a little more than I thought it would.

Cast members now sport name tags that feature their favorite Disney characters name on it
rather than their name and what state or country they're from. I preferred the latter. It was
always very easy to strike up a conversation about where they were from (and they were always
eager to talk about it too!)

I noticed a lot of heavily perfumed women on this trip. I’m allergic to perfume, so it’s
definitely something I noticed. Why do some people put so much on? In today’s society when
so many public buildings are scent-free, you would think that people would get the hint!

Offer to take pictures for other people who want to be together in a group photo. Jennifer was
irritated by me offering to at first, but then by the 3rd day she was the one pointing out families
that she thought we should offer to take their pictures.

Strangely enough, we only saw 2 turkey legs during the whole week.

There is no powder to be found anywhere in all 4 parks (ie. no more powdered soap in any
washrooms. Even the Funnel Cakes had their powdered sugar turned into a glaze (not as good in
my opinion).

One "gentleman" while waiting to be paged at The Rose and Crown, grew very agitated over the
wait and proceeded to yell at the host who was visibly shaken. I felt very bad for the young girl,
and when our pager went off, I was sure to quietly tell her that I hoped she didn't take what he
had to say to heart and that she was doing a good job. I think she really appreciated it.

For those parents who have children who are afraid of loud noises. Be warned that Illuminations
is very, very loud. Luckily Jennifer is not at all affected by loud noises, but my oldest daughter
fights to leave Epcot before Illuminations starts. She's petrified she's going to hear a loud boom
without being prepared for it (ie. hands over ears). But even with her hands over her ears, she
still has the look of discomfort in her eyes. We are used to eating at the Rose and Crown during
Illuminations, and it is always the highlight of my trip, so I'm not sure how I'm going to do
without them on my next trip down with my oldest!

Jennifer had a caricature of her sketched at our resort. The sketch artist always had a line-up of
people waiting to be drawn, but we just waited patiently for a day when it was a little slower.
It’s amazing how well it came out. He asked her what she is interested in and she said singing,
so he drew her on-stage with a microphone singing to an audience. Several years ago, when the
whole family went, I had the girls caricatures sketched together (as tap dancers) at Village
Marketplace at Downtown Disney. I can’t remember the price, but a really good deal to me. I
smile every time I see it on her wall in her room. It’s a little piece of Disney memories.

The only negative I can think of is when we went to the Saturday night Spectromagic parade.
Jennifer and I tried to find a spot to sit and wait for the parade about 1.5 hours before the parade
started. We walked up to several open spots along the route in front of the Castle only to be told
by ONE family member that they were holding these spots for the rest of their family. This
happened to us 4 times before we were able to find an unsaved spot to sit and wait. It really put
a sour taste in my mouth that one person can save spots for a whole family (I'm not talking about
a family of 3 or 4, I'm taking about larger families) hours in advance while the rest of their
family rides the attractions until parade time. I would never have the nerve to do this. The only
exception that I would do this is if a member of my family had to go to the washroom or maybe
run to get some popcorn or a soft drink from a nearby vender. My blood pressure is rising again
just thinking about the smug responses of "this is saved" that we received. We made a point to
watch to see when each of these families finally showed up to take their seats on the sidewalk,
and sure enough it was moments before parade time. I guess I just figure that if I'm willing to sit
with my family for 1.5 hours ahead of time, then we should be able to take precedent before
those who aren't.

I can’t tell you what a great deal it was to buy those refillable mugs during our 2000 trip

It is a wonderful thing to do a Mother/Daughter Disney trip. Half the time, as we were walking
around hand-in-hand, with silly grins on our faces, I felt like we were in a Disney video
commercial. I am so happy Jennifer and I had the opportunity to do this and I would highly
recommend it. My oldest daughter Ashley and I are already planning our next trip, which will
hopefully be in the fall of 2003.

Well, that's all folks. If you've made it this far...THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING IT!!!! I have read each and every trip report on this message board and have never given it much thought as to how much work goes into it. Well, let me tell you...it's no easy feat. What I do know, however, is that Jennifer will (and does, as I read in her post above - thanks Jen!) love reading it (maybe even to her children when she takes them to Disney World!).

HiShelly-Canada,
Great trip report. I really enjoyed it. I was thinking about your older daughters advertion to loud noises. Mabe foam ear plugs will work for her. I'm sure you can get them a an hardware store. They are small and hard to see when wearing them. sSo no body will stare at her.
