Day 1 Friday 12th of Feb 2010
Friday around noon we make it to Coranado Springs. Brent goes and checks in and we head off looking to park and unload.. were the type who packs our own bags and such… and did I mention it was COLD and pouring the RAIN! So we get most of our bags and were walking looking for castia #3 and were walking and walking.. we find it castia #3 then were looking for the elovators.. and were looking and looking.. and walking and walking.. in the rain and the cold..lol we finally find it.. so my first thoughts so far of Coranado Springs is.. I don’t care for it..
We finally find our room and the room I must say is NICE, I love it.. I love the deco so much. We get packed in and settled a lil then brent showers up, me and then bug.. after being in the car all night were ready for it.. but before I get in the shower I get a call its mini V!!! so we make plans to do DTD at 7 when brent goes to his dinner this evening.

I shower we get dressed and go down to the pepper market.. where I enjoyed being seated but it took for ever for our waiter to show.. this other very sweet waitress waited on us.. she got our drinks.. brent and me got the steak burritos and they were awesome.. bug got cheese pizza. They also gave her a minnie pic to color. She colored the pic an our other waiter showed up his name was pat.. and bug gave her minnie pic to him
We ate then headed to the lil shop to do window shoping.. bug ended up getting a baby simba in a leaf blanket, and pink milk for later for the room.. and me and brent got a coke.. but I have started working brent over.. because my plan was a tye dye t shirt and a hoodie.. well…… I went in and they had a tye dye hoodie and t shirt… and I want both! So maybe that will be my added on valentines day gift…lol like going to disney world isnt enough…lol then we went back to our room and bug played.. I watched the news and brent played madden 08 on his psp..lol I seen how cold it was so I called mini V because I was consider about the chilly weather and going to DTD.. bug has issue with asthema or something.. if she gets outin damp night air she gets coughy for the next couple days.. so her dad didn’t want to chance it..

But… we went anyways.. it stopped raining but was still very cold. But we heading to DTD at 7 and met up with mini V we meet at the world of disney on the side where the princesses are then heading to earl of sandwich where I have never ate before.. I got the ham and swiss it was very yummy and bug got a huge cupcake and some fruit. Mini V had made us gifts I was so surpirsed.. they were so lovely.. she made bug a red mickey pouch with 51 cents in it so she can make a smashed penny.. and me she made a tinkerbell necklace pouch… which is totally awesome and just what I needed I have wore it all week.. We sat and ate and talked outside brrrrrrr… then off to the atm for cash because bug wanted to ride the carousal. So the 3 of us got on and had a lil ride in the cold… did I tell you it was cold? Then we went into one of the shops we did a few pics and bug started showing her true colors it was nearly 9:30 bed time.. so we head back to the buses gave mini V a hug and went back to the room..
Once back to the resort.. I managed to get lost.. it took me like 20 mins to find my room.. the entire time im lost in the cold wind.. thinking.. I miss the value resorts… lol sorry guys.. didn’t care for the coronado that much at all..

pics uploading now, will post when they come up

Welcome back Chrissy! Hope you guys had a great time and I can't wait to see your pictures--especially the ones of Tayen at BBB, which I hope she loved. I noticed your signature says you have another trip planned already, how exciting!

[thegoz85]

We were at Animal Kingdom on Saturday the 13th. I was a little worried it would be crowded and it did get busy later in the afternoon.

[Chrissy&Tayen]

the bbb pics were so cute.. i will get them up soon and we didnt get into the parks until our last days.. we were hopeing the cheerleaders and stuff would clear out...lol but no such luck. which i must say our home town girls won the nationals one of the judges was in the room next to ours. but i got some pics up loaded and i will get those on here soon

[Chrissy&Tayen]

oh and were heading back for the horror nights at the other park and i MUST go see hogwarts..

[Chrissy&Tayen]

Day 2 Saturday 13th of Feb 2010

well we get up bright and early and head to chef mickeys.. all is awesome and grand.. we have so much fun. then right at the end when chip and dale doesnt come out.. my daughter is very aware of the cut back in characters...lol and she is 4 and hasnt been to the park since she was 2.

well needless to say she has a melt down.. and dont wanna leave until they come out.. she thinks were going to miss them..we spend a lil time in the restroom but her tude still doesnt change so we decide not to waste one of your ticket days on a day when she is in a bad mood.. so we go back to the room..

she falls asleep before we get back to the resort...lol i guess she got up to early and she was a lil miffed on the cut back...lol but anyways we let her nap.. brent plays psp and i mess around on the laptop..

come lunch time we decide to go get lunch.. but the market is packed so we go to DTD.. where there is only a 15 min wait for the rainforest cafe.. so we eat there.. we get nachos and then we get the steak,ribs, and shrimp deal and me and brent split it.. alot of food for 2 people.

but it was so funny bug was a lil scared of the gorillas they sat us near.. but she got over it quick and was laughin at them.. well this was the day brent had the richard petty gokart thingie..

we our at the bus stop at like 3:00 he has to meet his group at the resort at 3:45.. well at 3:30 we figure our bus isnt coming...and he has missed his chance for the karts so we head to next bus that comes which is the contemp. and poly.. where we get off and ride the monorail to mk and then chance a bus back to the coroando... one of the very reasons i will never stay there again..the buses for the value resorts are full and packed but at least you dont have to wait for 3 yrs for one to show up...lol

but anyways.. we went back to the room and relaxed until 7 when brent went and met his group for dinner at planet hollywood.. and me and bug went to walmart for her some cream for her skin.. she has eczema. bug seen everyone buying cards and roses.. so she wanted to get one for dad.. so i read her the cards and she picked one out and she picked a rose.. and she also bought a note pad and is now calling it her diary and tell me how its private..and i better not read it..

but brent was at dtd shopping and bought me a hoodie jacket and her a tinkerbell necklace.. so that evening when we come back to the room everyone exchanged v day gifts.. i had gotten him a violin before we left home.

but that is day 2

Day 3 Sunday 14th of Feb 2010

well today is valentines day and race day.. brent gets up at 5am to meet down stairs for his breakfast with the guys and then head to daytona where they road a charter bus with a police escort into the raceway..

well i cleaned up the room and waited until bug got up and we headed down to the market for breakfast then we went to the lobby where i got online and checked my email and she sat at these cute lil desks and colored in her diary. until a bunch of kids came and sat to watch the ole cartoons on the tv.. which chocked me because i could find the channel in the room... all i could find was all those **** preteen shows.. that my daughter cares nothing about..

well after that we head to the car and out shopping.. we go to the outlets and have a good day of shopping.. i get a call from mini v she was just callin to see if we were heading to a park today.. i wish we were but daddy wants us to wait on him..

but we shop til we drop.. head over to buffalo wild wings for a early dinner..so me and the bugger chow down.. and thats when i found out about the potholes..lol

but anyways.. we head back to the room to relax and brent informs me their leaving early and will be back in a few..

he heads back.. lol half his head is sun burnt...lol but he had a blast until the potholes.. so we crash so were ready for the first day out in a park. and hopein for warmer weather.

[Chrissy&Tayen]

i have a few pics on my phone and i will have to get them off
