I love all of the fun things in Mitsukoshi! I hope the little lucky cat helped you feel better!
Your tie-dye cheesecake looks awesome! I SO want to try a piece someday!
Good for you on your first solo ride! I've never been on a ride at Disney alone, I'd imagine I'd be just as excited!
THE MONKEY KING! Hahaha I tend to agree. In 2010 we listened to about 2 minutes of the Monkey King and then about 1 minute to the Canadian guy. This year the Canadian guy got about 30 seconds in passing.
That picture of Brandon.
I would have LOVED to see NPH, but last year it worked out that we just walked up to see Jodi Benson and stood in the back. I would have done that again for NPH had I been there a few days earlier, but I would never waste my whole precious Disney day to have a seat.
Wow, your food at Pop Century all looks SO GOOD!
Aww, I'm glad you enjoyed your solo PeopleMover adventure.
I like the concept of the storytellers, but in person, I just get bored! Not mature enough, I guess! 
I have had that chicken penne pasta before and it IS really good! That brings back memories of going on a mother/son trip with Nick before he became a teen. Sigh!
You hair really was long! Wow! Did you donate it? I'm proud of you for riding alone. poor Brandon!
Great afternoon in Epcot. That sushi looks really good! You are also off to a great evening in MK.
What Brandon doesn't like to talk Disney 24/7? Go figure!
MK, however, started out awesome! But my main concern is being healthy, so I thought that one was a good choice!
ok first, that pic of you on the TTA is so pretty! you look gorgeous in that picture and I don't care what you say! So pretty! And I totally know what you mean about the long hair! Mine has ALWAYS been long and several years ago I got it cut super short and I hated it (and by super short i mean a tad past my shoulders) and I am so paranoid about over cutting it now!
Yay for doing a solo ride! It's so funny how we talk so much trash about doing things without our men and then when the time comes we're like "that sucked without you"
and OMG would you guys just FINISH those margaritas already?!
I've thought about making that picture my FB profile pic, do you think I should? I just like it because it's so obviously on the Peoplemover!
And I always get layers, and it's barely layered, and I hate my stupid bangs, so I'm growing them out, so it's basically just hanging there right now, just being all boring and short! I can't wait til my bangs are chin length, because I'm going to get a ton of layers and angles in the front! I hardly even straighten my hair right now! I just want it to be long again! 
Haha, look at you being all adult on going on your first ride by yourself!
You are right though, it's always better being with someone.
Oh no! I'm sorry that you don't feel well so much; I kind of stopped taking medicine after having to take a lot of amoxicillin as a kid (it was pink! and bubblegum-y! Sooo good and nothing ever could compare). Also my grandmother would give us absolutely WRETCHED concoctions so we all kept quiet about being sick. And now that I'm living on a grad student budget, I always talk myself out of taking meds and just taking a nap instead. Cheap'n'easy!
Haha, well, that's a good reason not to take medication anymore! I can sometimes take a nap and get rid of a headache, but if I'm at work, forget it, I have to take something or I won't make it through the day! I'm trying ween myself off of my dependency, though! I've been only taking pain medication for really bad headaches, if they aren't so bad, I try to just chug water and hope it will go away!
I think the bridge between CR and BLT has a locked door (I think it was in some picture?). I really want to go to SSR and see the treehouses! I actually really like the look of SSR because PONIES. OKW on the other hand....
I want to see those treehouses too, they look so cool! I'm not sure I'd want to stay in one, though, maybe the ones that aren't near the water, but the ones that are like, right near the river that the boats from POR go down to get to DTD creep me out, they seem like they are in the middle of the bayou or something, I bet they are so scary at night!
Yup, it had blueberry syrup in it! Ugh, I have like three bottles of sweet tea vodka in the freezer right now AND a vanilla rum (and some other things hidden behind the Haagen Dazs, I think). We seriously look like alcoholics but it's really because we keep getting them as presents and we never get around to drinking them. Was toasted marshmallow any good? I can't see it working with any of my normal mixers.
OMG I have so much alcohol still left over from my wedding, so we look like alcoholics too!
Honestly, I didn't really like the Norwegian Storyteller either (the only one we saw). He was trying really hard to be cool and it didn't really work. Like, I looove these sorts of things normally and I wish that they were simply telling Norwegian myths or traditions instead of putting in unnecessary pop culture references.
I'm sad that I didn't like the storytellers, I thought I'd love them, but they're just kind of boring. It would be much better if they just stuck to myths and traditions, but then I'm guessing other people wouldn't be interested! Oh well, more time to wander around Epcot!
Disney has some of the best train villages and I think it's really nice that they decorate them as well! Something about miniature things is so cute.. and totally more exciting than the storytellers.
Mitsukoshi is the best store in Disney World. There's so many things to look at and it seems to go on forever. I always think we're in the last room and then - poof! - there's another one!
I love Mitsukoshi SO much! I want to do Pick a Pearl SO badly someday, but I'm so nervous about it, I hate being the center of attention, and if there was a huge crowd, I'd have some anxiety attack or something! I love that there are so many cool things to look at in that store!
I have a secret love of the value cafeterias. I don't know what it is, maybe because my staying at the values tends to mean I'm spending long days at the parks and getting really hungry. I guess the food's probably really fresh since there's a lot of turnover? The Mickey waffles are definitely always tasty.
I love the food courts at Disney! I think it's weird that some of the deluxes don't have them, like BWI and the Yacht Club. I mean, eating in restaurants is nice, but sometimes you just want to grab something and eat, and not wait around all day! I really love the croissant breakfast sandwiches they have at the food courts, they're so good!
Yay for your first solo ride! And you got the one picture we were both dying to get (inside Space Mountain). That was SO COOL to go through. I feel like I notice more details and see more on a solo ride, but that's mostly because my boyfriend always tries to talk to me on rides.
I can't believe I got that picture, it turned out awesome, but I feel bad that I used my flash! I did feel I got to really relax and just enjoy the ride without Brandon, since there was no talking, but at the end, I was missing it! I'll definitely be trying it again on future trips!
Yeah... They told me I had to go cold turkey on the Ibuprofen. I was given a prescription for migraines that got me through and now I am able to take Ibuprofen occasionally without a problem. It was a rough week getting off the Ibuprofen but in the end worth it as I have less headaches.... It also helped me to identify some of my triggers.... Not eating properly, not enough water, too much citrus, to much chocolate
Good for you for going solo on a ride! I have never had the courage...
You have such pretty hair...even short I'm sure its pretty! Did you donate it?
I donated about 13 inches of my hair in September....I'm liking the short hair - for the moment
I should have just cut 2 more inches off and donated it, but I didn't because I wanted my hair to still be past my shoulders. If it gets that long again, and I chop it all off, I will definitely donate it next time!
That's crazy! What kind of tests did you have to go through to get a prescription for migraines? An MRI? I feel like I could totally use a prescription, but I'm so afraid of all the testing they might have to do!
I just had to tell my doctor I was having these really bad headaches that were light sensitive and made me nauseous and I think they are migraines and they gave me a prescription. The first prescription didn't work for me as you have to take it at the first sign of a migraine and I get a lot of mine while I am sleeping of all things. The second worked much better but I haven't taken it in a long time. Since I am no longer getting the rebound headaches I usually pop one excedrin migraine and 2 advil, take a nap and when I wake up its gone. If I can't take a nap I do the same pills with a fully caffinated soda and it usually works as well.
I'd buy the whole cake, too, if I could.
I didn't have to go through any tests
And I'm sure I get rebound headaches because I can go a few weeks without getting a headache, but then when I get one, I'll have one for like a week, and I just keep taking Excedrin or Advil over and over. I'd give anything not to have to rely on pain medication anymore, it's so bad for you!I have never about going on a ride solo, but I bet the Peoplemover was relaxing by yourself. Gave you some time to just soak up Magic Kingdom and reflect about the amazingness of being at WDW.
That chicken alfredo dinner at the resorts is so good! I always end up eating it once while I'm there. And the tye dye cheesecake is Alex's favorite dessert at Disney!
LOL
I guess some people aren't like that...?
That tie-dye cheesecake looks soo yummy!!!
I always kid my hubby telling him I'll just go to Disney for a weekend ( i have a friend who lives down there and works for disney) and he just laughs, but i am always serious when I say it
That soup and sushi looked delicious!!! and I hope the lucky cat helped you feel better!
I would like to try a solo trip again, just to see if I can handle it! I'd only do a couple of days if I ever did one!
However, Brandon was right, I have a million other pictures from previous years, I can always look at those! Using the phone is sometimes a good alternative, but I couldn't get a good castle pic on my phone either! 
I guess with kids, you have no choice! I'm glad I'm practicing now then, for when we do have a kid, I won't mind going on something alone so much! I didn't know they closed that early, I thought they were one of the places that were open late! Ugh, that's too bad, I really like it there! AHHH I LOVE that last Wishes picture. It's so pretty! Aw man, I never noticed that it looked like that for a while! It looks beautiful, even with a little pinky in it.
Hahaha... it's so true, not everyone is a Diser. Sometimes it's hard for me to remember that too. It's like WHY can't you remember this stuff, it seems like such a big thing to me... but then again it's Disney, and therefore I could probably tell you which bathroom I used on which trip.
Oh my gosh. I think I would freak out a little bit if I saw an alligator chilling in the seven seas lagoon or something. WOW creepy to think about!
Ughh not another migraine! I'm sorry.
If I ever saw one in the Seven Seas Lagoon, or at a resort, I'd flip out! I'd be so terrified! 
The castle pictures look so pretty!!!
Sorry about your headache. It is so not fun to have those in the "real world" but it worse while on vacation at Disney!
And I completely agree with you...it's so hard to leave MK knowing it will be the last time for your trip
It's always so hard to look at the castle, and know you won't be back the next day!
Thanks, it was pretty annoying! I always have Excedrine Migraine and Advil with me too, it's sad, if I don't have at least one of those with me at all times, I panic! I'd love to just not get headaches anymore. I really think I might just ask my doctor about it, you have motivated me!
I wish I got better pics of the decorations, but I was just trying to get everything that I could, and we were walking out, so it was hard! I really want to go to DL for the holidays, I want to see the NBC Haunted Mansion!
I have a feeling I'll be doing a little bit of that on our upcoming trip though, because I fell in love with the drawing class, but Miguel hated it! So he can go do ToT and I'll do the class. 
I hope you felt better the next day!
