gRuMpEe's First Princessful Trip to WDW!

[gRuMpEe]

After some studying(Thanks to All4diSNEy for some much needed reading material) I was packed and ready to head out to LAX for an overnight flight. Scheduled to land at 6 in the morning and try to make the most of my WDW trip.

Purple Hello Kitty suitcase packed and ready to go.......


Landed half an hour earlier than expected and headed to the hotel via Disney's Magical Express. Too early to check in so I had to wait until 7.....killed some time taking pics of the pool area at the hotel.





And the rear entrance to the lobby....


Time to check in, room was ready and I was set to start my day.
Mickey on the bed...


Room big enough for 1 person!


King sized bed.....I need my space.


Time for a nap? Not really....
Time to head out to the parks!
Gotta love the bus system at Walt Disney World.

First stop, Hollywood Studios! It was windy, sprinkling and super freezing.

First ride of the day.




Then headed to this ride that gave me an extreme headache




Had to see this show since I LOVE the movie!


Rode the most underwhelming Great Movie Ride...
Welcome to Munchkin land!


Tried my best to stay and watch this entire show but it was way too windy and cold.


Fastpass time for TSMM....Yay!




It was early afternoon and I was done with everything that I was interested in doing at DHS. No time to rest.....off to Epcot.

I want more, you are off to a great start.

I'm trying! These are like doing homework!

[Rex Dopey24]

nice trip report pics thanks.

[gRuMpEe]

Not done yet....still working on the rest!

[gRuMpEe]

I Truly enjoyed Epcot!

Gotta love all the topiaries.
I don't like Tinkerbell, but I loved this one!


To keep with the theme of that Saturday's 5k....which was the reason, along with the Princess 1/2 marathon, that I was there for.




Wanted to see what Disney's idea of Mexico was.....Enjoyed it immensely!


The Restaurant inside of the Pyramid....Reminded me of The Blue Bayou.


I Loved the 3 Caballeros boat ride.


El Pato Donald.


Some more lovely shrubs!






Made my way through the rest of the World Showcase stopping in China Pavilion and headed on down to Japan.


Saw the cast member making crazy shaped candies right before our eyes!


Especially enjoyed the Hello Kitty offerings in the Japan pavilion! The cutest thing I found was this(can't find it out in CA).....

Great TR! Keep up the great pictures!

And POFQ is one of my favorite resorts on property. What did you think?

For being my first trip to WDW, I LOVED Port Orleans French Quarter! The Mousekeeping was AMAZING and the entire hotel grounds were tranquil and immaculate!

[gRuMpEe]

Since the entire reason for the trip was to run the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon I had to do my best to take advantage of ALL Magic Hours. Off I went in the morning to MK to see if I could conquer FantasyLand.....I did!





The one thing I could not resist here was......


Waited in line to meet my favorite Mermaid.




Time for Animal Kingdom!


The Lion refused to trade pins with me....


Poop...


The only Cricket I like.


Turtle Neck!


If you're bored while in the potty they give you reading material!


On to the Safari-better than I expected!










Expedition Everest-has to be my FAVORITE ride....


Dinosaur time again




Decided to eat at T-Rex(Downtown Disney) which was pretty decent.
The bar area


The front area




One of the dining areas


PRETTY Colors


Above one of the dining areas


Some more pics




Once all was done, I got to my room to find these.

Every time after that these would be in different parts of the room. Very cute touch!

More to come!
