[Bethanymouse]

Just a reminder: Characters:
BethanyMouse- me, 26 years old, school psychologist and full time docotral student. Dreamed of the Magic Kingdom during statistics class this year, ready for a vacation!

Anthony- Disney Fiance, 28 years old, celebrating his master's degree and a break from work and school!
We were on the disney dining plan and enjoyed some great food! We tried some new resturants and revisited our favorites! We also utilized Garden Grocer!

Day 5, August 8
Up and out early this moring to go to MGM. Our plan was to head for TSM, FP it and ride it. Well that was everyone else's plan as well. In fact people were full on sprinting (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008260.jpg) to the back of the park- even with kids in their hands. Their stuff was falling all over and everything, it was crazy, I have never seen anything like it- so I had to take some pics (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008259.jpg)! There really was no need to run. We got there in plenty of time and rode it (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008261.jpg)and FP it for later. Anthony won again. Over to TOT (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008263.jpg) (we are in the back row!) and then rode RNRC (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008268.jpg) (front seats!!!! wow!!) Our plan was to just go on TSM for our FP and then head out to the Pop, so that is what we did. I won the last time of TSM, what a great ride!

Back at the Pop we decided to grab lunch before heading back to the room. I opted for a Ceaser Salad (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008278.jpg)and Anthony chose an Italian Ciabatta sandwich (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008258.jpg). Both were very good. As soon as we sat down the skies opened up and it poured!!! Crazy rain came down. The dining area began to fill up and I was grateful our timing was just right.

After the rain stopped we swam for a bit and then got ready for dinner at Ohana's. Anthony suggested we wear our matching monorail shirts and we did! What fun! We also made sure to get our picture taken on the monorail (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008317.jpg)(what nerds we are!) It was delicious (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008319.jpg) as always! The did change the scalloped potatoes to lo mein (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008323.jpg)- Anthony liked it better and I missed the potatoes! They also have fried wontons (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008316.jpg). The shrimp (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008325.jpg) is now on a skewer too. Anthony treated for drinks to celebrate our wedding planning. I got a sunken treasure (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008315.jpg), delicious and he opted for a mai tai (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008314.jpg)! No worries they still have the banana bread pudding (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008331.jpg)!!

We headed over to MK and the skies opened up again! It really came down. We managed to get under the monorail covering before entering the kingdom. The wind was whipping (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008345.jpg)and the rain was coming down so fast it was creating flooding (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008344.jpg) everywhere. I sure this is nothing compared to Fay, but what a storm we experienced. After the rain slowed down we went into the park and did the Laugh Floor, watched Spectromagic and Wishes. We rode pirates, Philharmagic, and Buzz again (I won!). I loved this picture (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008360.jpg) I got of the castle, and this one (http://s95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/bethanymouse/Disney%20world%202008/?action=view&current=DisneyWorld2008359.jpg). I think it captures the magic a bit! We went back to the Pop and fell right to sleep. We were exhausted!!!

Thanks for reading! Up next: Animal Kingdom, and wedding pavillion again!

[Bethanymouse]

Thanks for reading everyone! We really did have a great trip!

[Vintage Disney]

You are both so cute in your monorail shirts! Your trip report is great. I think that it is wonderful that you and Anthony both love Disney and you get to have a WDW wedding!:groom::princess:

[KayDee]

I am really enjoying reading your trip reports. Your pictures add so much to the detail. I feel like I am right there with you. Good job!

[laward32]

Another great day. I love those monorail shirts, where did you get those? I want one. I love the pics of the castle. I am with you on the potatoes at O'Hana's, pls bring them back.:mickey:

[ElenitaB]

Sign me up for those shrimp! :eat: So glad we're eating at 'Ohana in December... it's been years since we last went and I've been hesitant to go again, but that picture has swayed me from "iffy" to "when do we go?"

Beautiful pics of the castle!

[RedSoxFan]

Great day. I LOVE the pics of the castle.:mickey:

[Bethanymouse]

Ohana's was great Elenita! No worries there, the food was delicious and the service was spectacular!

We purchased the monorail shirts off of ebay. I cant remember the guys name but if you go to ebay and put in monorail shirts they come up. He has a bunch of disney ride attraction ones and you can pick your colors. They were a lot of fun to wear.

Just so you know, disney is now selling monorail shirts. They are gray with red lettering and have a picture of the monorail on them with the saying. The castle in the background though is not Cinderella's, it is Disneylands. (just a small detail that did bother me!). We were partial to ours though! Much more colorful and easy to understand for us monorail fans!

[tinkerbell04]

Love the shirts! Thanks for sharing.

[pdrlkr]

Thanks for the report! :smickey:

[wdwgrl377]

Thanks again for sharing! I so enjoyed the pictures you've attached to the posts! :mickey:

[dolphinmickey9170]

Bethany, I like your shirts much better than the WDW ones. Can you PM me the link to the ebay seller? If you get a minute, please?

Great pix, love the castle one as well.

[ChipnDaleGal]

You two are just too cute in those shirts on the monorail! :thumbsup: We are all Disney nerds, so you know we all understand how important that picture was! You were lucky with missing the worst of the rain today. Love those pictures of the castle, especially the second one - really beautiful. Thanks for the great report and photos, Bethany. :mickey:

[Kisobel]

Enjoying the reports and the photos!
Us Intercotees don't think that you two are 'nerds', we understand the Magic!:mickey:

[wilshade]

I am thoroughly enjoying these reports along with the pics! Thank you!

[Mousemates]

another good and very thorough report :thumbsup:

[Eeyore_fan]

I soooo remember this down pour. I was in the food court of the resort as well. We had all sit down to eat, I think we all ordered pizza and I remember the rain coming down so hard and the wind was wicked!!

You are lucky you got to go on TSM....we couldn't get near it. We were at the park first thing in the morning and the FP we out in 10 minutes!!! We just forgot about it after that.

[iheartmickey]

Reading the report and seeing the pictures of the food is making me so hungry and longing for 'Ohanas! :(

I love your monorail shirts!!! I actually have the speil on my computer ... I want it as my ring tone, but haven't figured out how yet. :blush: I need one of those shirts!!! :mickey:

Thanks for another great report!!!

[cal5755]

Another Amazing day!!! I love all your pictures especially the action ones!! I am so glad you had so much fun!! I wish I could sit and read the rest of the reports tonight but I will have to finish tomorrow as bed is calling.

[Jennib]

another great report ..thanks!

[faline]

That really was some storm you experienced!

I seem to remember that the shrimp used to be on skeweres originally at O'Hana's? Am I misremembering?

Those pictures of the Castle are wonderful!!!
