So, this is really really late! But i've just got a spare evening and thought i would share some photos from the best holiday i have ever been on!! It was myself and my fiance Luke, we went for our 5th anniversary. He proposed to me there 5 years ago so decided it would be magical to go back again! We stayed in the Port Orleans Riverside and it was stunning! It will probably take a few days for my to get this report finished to please bear with me!! =D

We were greeted to a towel Mickey head in our room! I was so happy!

The anniversary badges we were presented with when we checked in. We were told to wear them at all times to make our holiday special.

Outside of our building. So pretty!
After we had chilled in the room, and by chilled i mean CHILLED! With the aircon turned upto 11, it was sooo hot! We decided to catch the boat down the river to Downtown Disney.

Waiting for the boat, trying to not look tired lol.

On the boat. Beautiful shot of the French Quarter of the hotel as it became darker.

Apologies, my camera fails at night time. But a shot of Downtown Disney. I got some better ones in the daytime. We had a small wander around, looked in some shops and had a lovely meal. We were so tired from the longggg flight we decided to have an early night and get up bright and early for our first day in....
THE MAGIC KINGDOM YAYYY!!

It was Halloweentime so they had all the gorgeous decs up.

After the small show they opened the gates and let all the nutters into the park!! Thats a sight, no matter which castle is it, be Florida or Paris it always managed to take your breath away.
Right, so the park was HEAVING! Mainly because there was the religious event on that evening, so we figured we would leave and go to the Hollywood Studios and do MK another day after the event was over.
at DHS, it was empty, so we headed to the tram tour cos that usually gets busy pretty quickly and there was hardly any queue at all! I didnt take many photos of this, because i wanted to see it myself rather than through the lens of a camera. But this was really special to me
(//http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/61116_437572211582_698406582_5784894_3073174_n.jpg)

I work as a seamstress. And in my spare time i make costumes, for myself for conventions. Nerdy stuff, we all dress up as characters and have lots of fun. Im really into it, make elaborate costumes from scratch. My previous favourite Disney costume i have made is Maleficent..eeeee! So its my DREAM to work here. True story, i had an interview with the head of costuming at Disneyland California, and she told me if i could sort out a sponsor she would hire me on the spot, with my skills and experience. Which is so annoying cos its sooo hard to get a sponsor to work in the USA!! GRRRRR!!! Anyway..rant over!!
We really wanted to go on the Toy Story mania ride, but the line was seriously like..3 hours long!! So we got a fastpass and headed back later. It was soooo worth it! AMAZING RIDE!!

I love this photo of Luke..he's sooo tired bless him, but he's trying to keep smiling!
I didnt get many more photos of the day, cos i was just all OH MY GOD IM IN DISNEYWORLD!! flailing all about the place like a 5 year old on 5 pints of mountain dew. But i promise there are manyyyy more photos to come! So keep an eye out. I shall update soon! :D
What date in September 2010 did you go out there, and how many nights did you stay for?
People always say early September is the best time of the year to go to Walt Disney World, because the parks are really quiet and the queues are short. Was that your experience?
Thanks for your trip report. I can't wait for the rest.
It seems you had a great time there.
Great report and pics so far :-)
Perhaps we was there at the same time? I arrived at September 20.
Great trip report, waiting to read more. we honeymooned at Port Orleans Riverside in the Mansions section (Parterre Place) and it was honestly much better value than most of the deluxes we stayed at. Glad you liked it.
As for the seamstress role, have you thought about applying to DLP?
Alan - September is quiet for a reason - worst weather, humid and it is hurricane season. No way I would choose to go then if I could help it.
Thanks guys!
The weather was fine for us. We had a bit of rain, but it was welcome to be honest and cos its so hot you dry off instantly. We didnt have any hurricanes or anything bad. The thunderstorms at night are stunning to watch too <3
I have thought about applying for a seamstress at DLP..but i cant speak fluent french! But im working on it! its my new years resolution this year to learn it more. I was great at it at school but i forgot most of it XD
@davewasbaloo
Is WDW hotter and more humid in September than it is in July? I always thought it was cooler by September.
So, in your opinion, what's the best time of the year to go to WDW?
Right back onto the important stuff...
The next day we headed to MK as it was a lot quieter than the previous day! I decided i wanted to meet the princesses today. Okay i better explain this now, but as im quite the artist *blows own horn toot toot!* i spent most of the year, running upto the holiday, making a really nice artbook. I researched into the characters i was likely to meet at WDW and i drew a picture of each of them. And when i met the character, i asked them to sign the book for me. Im a total Disney but its unreal. I have a degree in animation, just cos i wanted to study the art of Disney awesomeness. Fact: One of our guest tutors on the course was a lead animator for Jessica Rabbit. How much did i worship this tutor?? A LOT!! Anyway. I havent had chance to scan the book in yet, but im gonna try and do it soon so i can get the pics up for everyone to see. The characters LOVED it, and i found i got loads of time with them cos they wanted to look through the book at the other drawings.

Check out my IM A TOURIST outfit!

On our way to the princesses we decided to check out minnie and mickeys house, cos they were empty. I pretty much spazzed when i saw this...
(//http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/59929_437574081582_698406582_5784957_2639485_n.jpg)
I need to own a sewing machine like this!!!!!
We had a quick wizz around the houses, and decided to go back and take photos another time, then went onto the princesses.
(//http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/59929_437574091582_698406582_5784959_2038059_n.jpg)
Aurora was the first person to look through the book.
(//http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/62833_437574331582_698406582_5784964_7621643_n.jpg)
Cinders wanted a good look so she asked me to sit down with her. She was so sweet, asking me questions about how i drew them and what i used to colour them, etc.
(//http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/62833_437574346582_698406582_5784967_3063734_n.jpg)
Then she found her page and signed it
(//http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/62833_437574361582_698406582_5784970_2577970_n.jpg)
Belle was THE CUTEST! I was with her for like 10 mins and she was just so amazed by the drawings. She kept telling me stories about Peter Pan and how she flew to neverland with him. Then she told me how Stitch broke into Beasts castle and wrecked everything. I was thinking...thats nice dear, time to take your meds. haha no..she was so into it..it was adorable!!
(//http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/62833_437574371582_698406582_5784972_2495896_n.jpg)

She then found Beasts page and she fawned over it. Sadly i didnt get a photo of what she did after this. She took the book and held it to her chest and hugged it hard. It was adorable.
(//http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/33647_437574546582_698406582_5784979_276321_n.jpg)
After this we wandered around, on some rides, etc etc. Then we headed to Animal Kingdom for the afternoon. I didnt really get any pics of this, cos i knew we would be going back another day.
The next day we headed to MK again, using the EMH so we could get in before the crowds.

I met Donald

A cast member told Luke to get on in the photo. He's not really into meeting the characters like i am..He acts his age :P
(//http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/63290_437577811582_698406582_5785054_644770_n.jpg)
And Clarabelle! ZOMG!! Sadly Horace wasnt around at that time.
After this we RAN round to POTC...just cos..its the best ride ever! And on the way around look who we came across!

Back around to the castle <3
The next day we checked out...

Sadly most of the Star Wars area was closed due to Star Tours being closed. Which is a shame cos Luke is a huuuuuuuuuuuuge Star Wars fan. But mevermind, next time!

After we had gotten fed up of walking around we decided to head back to the hotel, had a relax in the hotel pool for the afternoon then took a trip to the French Quarter for BEIGNETS!!! Anyone who has seen The Princess and the Frog will know its all about the beignets and i needed to try some. Luke bet me to order them asking for "man catchin' beignets" but i chickened out haha.

Hmmm, not hotter, but more humid, and that is the killer. It depends on your tastes. I do not do well in humidity, and I only cope with temps higher than 25C if it is a dry heat.
For me, I feel Florida is great in November and December (though it can be freezing at night), plus the parks are all decked out for Christmas.
For those that like it warmer, then I would say March/April or October is worth while.
Lol, sounds like fun. And although we couldn't see the book, just the little bits looked cool. It would be lovely to see.
I also adore the story about your lecturer (MMMMMmmmmm Jessica Rabbit!)
Thanks Dave!! Glad you're enjoying it!
Okay lets carry on.
Today it was time to go to Animal Kingdom for a proper full day!

Love this shot of Expedition Everest...we went on that ride CONSTANTLY! Absolutely amazing ride.
That evening we had our anniversary evening meal booked. The Cinderella character meal at the Grand Floridian hotel. So we got on our glad rags and went back to the MK to hop on the boat over to the hotel.

We sat in the lounge area and there was a pianist in the middle of the room playing the most beautiful renditions of Disney songs. He played "Part of your world" and i cried it was so gorgeous...that and cos im sad.
We went to the restaurant and before we got seated we had our pic with Cinderella. Sadly i dont have a pic of that on my PC cos we were both in it and didnt think to ask for a staff member to take a pic on our camera but we bought the souvenir photo that they took cos its a lovely photo and a great memory of our anniversary.

Meeting the sisters was a hightlight for me. I had gone prepared and drawn both of them and they absolutely loved it. Anastacia loved hers so much she took the book and screamed REALLLYYYYY loud and decided to take it round to all the tables to show all the other diners.

Everyone who had a celebration badge on got a cupcake each! i saw cupcake they were more the size of giant muffins!
The rest of the evening was interesting. We decided to head back to MK to watch the late night firework display. But before it started we got caught in the BIGGEST AND SCARIEST thunderstorm i have ever witnessed. People were actually running and screaming down main street as if godzilla were coming for them that the whole of the street and the main entrances became gridlocked and security had to be called in to get everyone in order. We were stood inside a shop watching all these stupid people over reacting. I mean the rain was immense and the thunder was almost deafening, but still. The thing that made me laugh was over the speakers they were playing a message saying "tonights fireworks have been cancelled" you think?? haha.
The next day was Epcot! yayyyy!!
We saw this on our way in and Luke just wet himself. He is THE biggest Tron fan and i had told him about the Tronorail before we went on the holiday and he was so excited to see it

I love hugging Goofy...cos he's tall. Im 6ft tall, so its awkward hugging the shorter characters without the fear of breaking them lol.

YEAHHHH!!!!!!
More coming shortly!!!
Yay - Epcot and DAK, the only two reasons to go to Florida IMHO! Lol. The issue with the thunder storms is there are many deaths from lightening strikes in Florida, and September is the most common time of the year. It is also why umbrellas are not a common site in Florida despite the daily rain (much prefer the climate of Disneyland in California).
Again, great report and pics! :-)
Next day!! Im losing track of the days now..nevermind!
Time to go back to MK!
(//http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/62163_437626251582_698406582_5786520_7366472_n.jpg)
Started the day with characters. Daisy signed my book and i got a pic with her
(//http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/61903_437626656582_698406582_5786525_2876471_n.jpg)
Snow White is my faaave Princess and she's at the front of the book. To be honest her drawing is my fave so i was glad to have her sign it.
(//http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/61903_437626661582_698406582_5786526_2657012_n.jpg)

Are we here??
After going on Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear, we decided to head around to Adventureland. I asked a cast member where i could find Ariel, seeing as her special meet and greet area had been closed off due to Fantasyland expansion. I had to wait about 10 mins as they had gone inside for a break, but it was worth the wait cos both her and Eric were lovely. They spent AGES with me, looking through my book.
(//http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/61901_437631391582_698406582_5786697_7950592_n.jpg)
(//http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/61901_437631396582_698406582_5786698_7529507_n.jpg)
After this we went on a bit more and saw that Aladdin and Jasmine were out, so i got in the line. This experience was one of the favourite parts of my holiday. The cast member who was at the start of the queue was chatting to us and we got talking about anniversaries cos she noticed our badges and i said how Luke had proposed to me at WDW 5 years ago and she was so happy for us. Then it was our turn to meet them and they insisted that Luke was in the photo too
(//http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/61901_437631401582_698406582_5786699_2115583_n.jpg)
Then i had a pic taken with Jasmine while Aladdin signed his drawing
(//http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/61901_437631406582_698406582_5786700_5408194_n.jpg)
And after the photo he still had the book, and it was still on his drawing
(//http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/61901_437631411582_698406582_5786701_2818831_n.jpg)
He told me he loved his drawing so much, he asked the nice cast member lady if she could go backstage and get her camera so he could take a pic of the drawing to put "in the palace". I was so pleased!! So the lady went away to get her camera, came back and was getting a photo of the drawing for him.
(//http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/33924_437631666582_698406582_5786703_2846362_n.jpg)
Jasmine signed her drawing
When the cast member lady had taken the photo for Aladdin, she mentioned to him about our anniversary and proposal, etc etc and he wanted us all to reinact the proposal and this is how it looked
(//http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e373/Lozzie_pook/100_1610.jpg?t=1305376040)
Then we said our goodbyes and went around to Fantasyland to see who else we could spot...
(//http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/33924_437631676582_698406582_5786705_5402879_n.jpg)
YAYYYY!! They both signed my book beautifully and we had a chat about London. Then as i left i heard Wendy say to Peter "she's a great artist! Oh Peter!! I wonder if she drew our movie???" haha..d'awwwwww!!
(//http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/33924_437631686582_698406582_5786706_383432_n.jpg)
Luke had been wanting to do this pose since we got here, so he did it.
(//http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/33924_437631691582_698406582_5786707_6921207_n.jpg)
Then onto meet Tiana and Naveen!!

She was sat in front of the Haunted Mansion talking to everyone as the went into the ride, she was amazing.

I swore the ride felt scarier than usual. I dont know if it had been changed slightly for Halloween, but it felt slower, and louder or if it was just my imagination.
It was dark now, so we decided to go check out the villian show. It was sooo cute! I got real excited when i found out the characters came down for a meet n greet so i RAN FOR IT!
(//http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/62472_437635231582_698406582_5786823_5460073_n.jpg)

After meeting the villians we decided to go on a sweety hunt and followed a trick or treat trail.
(//http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/61712_437636606582_698406582_5786834_5287452_n.jpg)

After we collected tonnes of sweeties, we watched the fireworks. Sadly didnt get many good photos of these, as my camera is rubbish at night!
After that we went to Adventureland where they had the jungle themed meet n greet
(//http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/63034_437636861582_698406582_5786842_2717054_n.jpg)

Then we headed off to see what was going on in Frontierland, and had a peek in Woodys party.
(//http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/63034_437636871582_698406582_5786844_5502839_n.jpg)
Luke had gotten really hot by now so took most of his stuff off
(//http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/59887_437637101582_698406582_5786851_4163504_n.jpg)
Heading back to Fantasyland another Villian show had just ended and there was a meet n greet going on so i got in line for the Queen from Snow White

We watched the parade, which was absolutely wonderful! I didnt get photos, again..sucky camera at night! And then we headed back to the hotel cos we were both well tired and it was almost time for closing anyway.
(//http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/59887_437637131582_698406582_5786857_4763216_n.jpg)
More to come!!!
The next day we decided to just chill out at the hotel for the morning, and then take the boat to Downtown Disney and have a good look around.
A few pics i got at DTD

The rest of the day we chilled out at MK until it was time for our next appointment...
We headed back to the Contemporary Resort for..

PIRATES AND PALS!! YAYYYY!! I was obsessing over this the entire run upto the holiday, cos im sad like that.
(//http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/62475_438115721582_698406582_5797682_3526272_n.jpg)
We were each given a bandana to wear so that the guides knew who was in the group.
(//http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/62475_438115726582_698406582_5797683_3245291_n.jpg)

Our tour guides..Patch and errrr Patch...yes they were THAT imaginative.
We were told to get grouped up in a designated area, behind Patch and Patch was a seating area. There were tables with food and drink and around the room were life size statues of pirates and all kinda of treasures and sea shanties pumped through speakers. It was AMAZING! Then all of a sudden the two Patches began getting all panicked and told us to keep and eye out for someone lurking around, and Captain Hook and Smee came from out of nowhere!! We were told to queue up if we wanted to meet them so naturally i was straight in there.

Handsome chap!
We were all assigned boats. There were two boats going on the tour, one for Hook and one for Smee. We got the Hook boat so we were told to follow him out of the hotel and to the dock
(//http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/61941_438115996582_698406582_5797697_7328845_n.jpg)

Where he saw us off
The tour was lovely. It was a very interactive trip. We sang songs, played games, etc
(//http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/63035_438116216582_698406582_5797702_1400182_n.jpg)
Until we eventually made our way to the middle of the lake and positioned facing the castle to watch the firework display. It was amazing, perfect view and they pumped the music through the speakers in the boat so you got the sound too. It was an amazing experience.
Afterwards, we set sail back toward the contemporary dock area and Patch told us we had to close our eyes and wish really hard. What we were wishing for, we had no clue..but he told us to open our eyes and when we did Peter Pan was stood on the dock! Waiting to welcome us back!! As soon as we got off he got mauled by everyone, and i figured i had already met him so we decided to skip that and rush back to the MK cos it was open until midnight.
More to come!!! Holy moly i took loads of photos!!
Thanks for a lovely report so far - it seems like you two had a wonderful time!
Great pictures and I really like your idea with the book, I love to draw Disney characters too (long time since latest drawing though) - would love to see more of the book :)
Looking forward to more
Thanks so very much Forza! I''ve decided to take photos of the book and attach them on this thread so you can see them :)
Some of them arent finished full yet though.

Someone had asked to see the book so i turned it to show them

Sadly Miss Bunny was away doing her make up so she couldnt sign her half of the picture.

This time i got them both to sign the book. We were with them for ages, as they were fighting over the book and acting daft. I felt bad cos a woman who was next in line after us was huffing and puffing cos she wanted her kid to meet them. To be fair i had waited for 15 mins to meet them and i couldnt help them fighting between each other lol.

Luke waiting in desperation for his steak. We were sat next to the flame grilling bar where you could see and smell the meat being cooked on really tall flames!
(//http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/62190_438123806582_698406582_5797835_1468932_n.jpg)
It arrived!! and was well worth it
Every 30 mins they had a "meteor attack" the place would turn slightly darker and the ceiling would light up with meteors shooting across. The animatronic dinosaurs would all go crazy..roaring and screeching REALLY loud. Its not a restaurant you can have a conversation in, its extremely loud and lively.

Splash mountain is an amazing ride!! I hope the rumours are true about them putting it in DLP. Altho i hope you dont get as wet as you do in the WDW version cos everyone will catch pnemonia XD

After that we decided to watch the parade again and there was a cute pre parade band on in frontierland entertaining the crowd
(//http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/62090_438125746582_698406582_5797929_3374017_n.jpg)

Okay onto the last day! BOOOOOO!!!
We had breakfast booked with the Princesses in Epcot, so we got up early and decided to go on a few rides on our way up as we had time to spare.
(//http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/60789_438382576582_698406582_5802402_5344708_n.jpg)

Again it was an all you can eat buffet, the food was lovely. Very continental.
Now..i did get photos with princesses, but i HATED them cos we had to use the flash and it made me look terrible. So i refuse to post them up...anywhere! But i met Snow White, Ariel, Cinderella, Aurora and we had a professional photo with Belle before we went in..which was free! its currently framed on top of the fireplace.

tee hee heee..couldnt resist! There was a show a few times a day on the castle stage. It was amazing cos Mickey and Minnie, etc's eyes blinked and their mouths moved as they spoke!

I love these posters, not only cos they are gorgeous, but they remind me of DLP aswell.

Starting to get dark now, and we waited for the fireworks

After the fireworks we decided to stick around for the electric light parade. Wanted to get as much done as possible before the night was over

Those were the best ones that came out from the ELP lol.
So after that we headed back to the hotel *sad face*

The next morning, on the coach to the airport.

and then Luke fell asleep, dreaming of Mickey Mouse
So thats it! My trip report! I hope you all enjoyed it! And i look forward to making more. Its my first one, and even though i have millions and billions of photos from DLP from over the years i wont bore you with them haha.
Thanks for having me and im gonna try and post more on the forums xx
Thanks for sharing, sounds like you had a blast. Though it sounds like we are on opposite ends of the spectrum on our Disney tastes - lol. Please do post more though. Great work on the book!
and thank you for making me miss the MSEP even more. I grew up with it at Disneyland, and then loved it when it came to Paris. Fantillusion is just poor in comparison IMHO (then again, I do not like show stops in any parade).
Thanks Dave! Im glad you enjoyed it! Im sorry our tastes in Disney differ, i shall try harder next time hehe!
I know what you meant about the MSEP though. I also grew up with it at DLP..i've been going there every year since i was 9 years old and it was always one of my favourite parades and i was so happy to see it at WDW, the Tinkerbell float at the start was new, but it was a welcome addition in my opinion :D
I have only seen Fantillusion once, was a bit meh about it. Although i really did love the Maleficents dragon float.
