WDW Trip!! :) This was edited on Nov. 23

Ready to start our adventure!

Inside our first room before the switch. The rooms are all pretty much identical with the southwestern theme. Being from Las Vegas, based on theme alone, this would be the last resort I would choose, but based on the best transportation system and convenience to the parks, you can't beat it! It also has one of the best food courts and pools on property.

Coronado Springs resort...a view from outside our building.

Overlooking at bridge at Coronado Springs (our hotel).

Inside her tied for favorite ride, Tower of Terror!

Alli wanted to have her picture taken with these japanese "princesses" at the Pirate and Princess party at the Magic Kingdom. She loves the asian culture.

Courtney swimming at the hotel's pool The Dig Site. She loved the waterslide.

While waiting at the turnstiles at MGM, we were chosen to be the first family and open up the park. We were taken to a VIP waiting room, in the air-conditioning and out of the heat, and given cold waters while waiting until it was closer to the park opening.

Courtney was so happy to be out of that HOT Florida September heat!!!

It was such a pretty room with alot of Disney memorabilia.

Courtney and I in the VIP waiting room.

Here is our special pic we got taken for us, while everyone was still waiting at the turnstiles.

The show they put on at the opening of MGM Studios....oops I mean Disney's Hollywood Studios. It was really cute, and we got to have a part in it, and be taken down to Tower of Terror in this cute little old fashioned car that Walt himself used to drive. We were the first to go on Tower of Terror, and we had our own elevator!

In Epcot overlooking the World Showcase.

Allison and Courtney on the busses heading to the parks!

Courtney outside of Magic Kingdom one morning.

We asked if we could have a window table at the California Grill, and got the best one of all, the Magic Kingdom view. This was a magical meal, and we all loved it and had a great time!

This was a BLT flatbread. It was the yummiest flatbread I have ever had!

Best filet mignon ever...melted in your mouth! The meal for the 3 of us cost over $200, and we got it for free...awesome!!!

Courtney loved the cheese pizza at California Grill! This restaraunt was probably my favorite one at WDW.

Expedition Everest. Probably Courtney's favorite ride in WDW, and mine. I cannot wait to take Jared on this!!!

On our last day :( we finally win something from the dream team. This still is a sore subject for me, because I was one table away from winning the night in the Cinderella Castle suite on a different day. :(

We won the Magic Kingdom dream fastpasses...the best one to be won in my opinion, since the MK has so many rides to use it on, some of which do not offer fast passes. Since it was on our last day, and we were on our way out, we never used them. I was stupid and did not give them to Dan and Isabelle thinking the day was slow enough they would not even need them, but we should have anyways, and kicked ourselves later. SO Sorry, guys!

Aubree loves Minnie Mouse and the princesses! :) Courtney and I absolutely loved watching her at Disney. We have got to all go again next time!

Courtney and Isabelle with Cinderella.

We were so happy to see Dan, Heather, Isabelle and Aubree on our last night, and last day. We got to check out their room at the Wilderness Lodge, and even hang out a bit and watch most of Big Brother! :)

We had breakfast with them the following day at Cinderella's Royal Table. We wished our trip would have overlapped with theirs more.

TRIP OVERVIEW:

Courtney and I (my sister met us there) went to WDW September 1-12 to take advantage of FREE dining!
We had a great time, and experienced some new things. We stayed at a moderate (Coronado Springs) for the first time and also entirely used the Disney transportation system for the first time. Both were excellent (depending on where you stay of course.)

The hotel was beautiful. We transferred to a different room after the first 2 nights, and we really enjoyed the closer location better. Coronado Springs also has the best bus system on property....I never waited more than about 5 minutes for a bus, and our stops were always the closest to the parks.

We even went to the last Pirate and Princess Party of the season on the 3rd (its an after hours, special ticket) and we loved it! I have NEVER seen the MK so empty at night before!!
