It was time for us to travel on my favorite mode of transportation, the MONORAAAAIIILLL. Seriously, words cannot express how much I love it, and each time I do manage to ride it on a Disney trip, I am very, very happy. I found a monorail Iphone case last week online and will definitely be ordering it! Yay! Since our plan at MK was literally to ride Splash and see our Princes, we headed over towards Adventureland first to see Tanessa’s! However when we got over to Agrabah, the friends of Jasmine & Aladdin were both different! Boo. Oh well, we still had one more day that we could explore Magic Kingdom, maybe then! Since we were headed that way, we grabbed a fast pass for Splash Mountain (it was a hot day, there was no way we were waiting in that line!) and then headed back through Frontierland to check on Tiana & Naveen. Now, what is the greatest thing to do on a hot day in Disney World when you’re waiting on the fast pass for Splash to open up….get a Mickey Bar!!
Yum! It’s not a trip to Disney unless at least 1 of these is eaten! I love that you get the refreshing-ness of ice cream, together with the delicious-ness that is chocolate, plus, I mean, it’s Mickey! Lol.
Tiana & Naveen weren’t out when we got over to the little gazebo, so we plopped ourselves down on the little wall to eat our snacks. And here comes the sad, heartbreaking moment of the trip…not even halfway through eating my Mickey Bar, it broke, and crashed into the ground…
Super sad….but absolutely hilarious at the time, I know Tanessa and I had quite the laugh about it.
Not long after that, Tiana & Naveen came out, and as you might know, they circle past that little wall to come in the exit to get to their meet & greet, since we were sitting there, they both waved and smiled and said hello to us. Now, I went “I know him…” Tanny: “but it’s not coco-puff”…..it took us a minute to realized, and when we did it was one of those huge “GASP!!” moments followed by another huge laughing fit. The friend of Naveen’s that was out and about today, was the same friend of Aladdin that we had met the day before, Tanessa’s boyfriend. LAWL. Super lawl. It was a good moment. We didn’t end up getting in line for them, and continued on our adventure.
I clearly did not take a lot of photos here, I guess I was done for the day, haha! I was just busy taking it all in, and soaking up the environment than anything else. Dream Along With Mickey was just beginning when we reached the hub so we stopped to watch it. This is another spot of Disney employment that I would absolutely love to have! I plan on auditioning for it next year when the auditions pop up, so we’ll see, but I need to really amp up the dancing to make it through the audition itself.
Okay, tangent coming; it drives me insane that in vocal auditions, you go in, and sing a song that you will probably be singing in the show that you’re going for. You do exactly what you’ll be doing. Acting, similar, you go in with a monologue, reading lines, what you’ll be doing. In a dance audition, you go in, learn a combination in a matter of 10 minutes, review it, and then dance it. It consists of high kicks, complicated combinations, high jumps, and triple pirouettes. The job you’re auditioning for has you doing grapevines & box steps and single pirouettes…..WHAT IS THAT?! #rantover.
ANYWAY, point of that being, I was watching the show and was thinking about how I could totally do that…if only I could make it through the audition…ugh…dancer problems…
When the show finished and we were all assured that our dreams could and would come true, as long as we worked (again, no pictures, I was simply watching it this time around) we headed over into Fantasyland for something we knew wouldn’t have much of a wait, Phillharmagic! Love it, as always, the smell of strawberries in Be Our Guest scene is just so incredible! Love, love, love!! After a brief stop for a diet coke for Tanessa, it was time to use our Splash fast passes!!
Nothing greater than getting a little (or a lot) wet on a hot day in the Magic Kingdom! With at least one of our MK goals of the day done, we jumped back on the monorail and headed back towards Epcot for our evening. And of course, I don’t let a picture of the Wedding Pavilion skip past me every! Lol.
We started in WS the way we did that morning and circled through to do some shopping on our way to pick a spot for Illuminations later. I know Tanessa bought a purse in Mexico, and a beer stein in Germany for her dad (and possibly a shirt?) We both stopped in Italy and got the perfumes we had been looking at.
Tyler had said he would meet us in the UK if he was coming back for Illuminations, so I headed over there while Tanessa stopped for something else along the way, but he was a no show. In here we ate dinner, and I’m really a horrible dis-er right now, I have no pictures, or ideas on what we ate. Since we were in UK and I remember being distracted and forgetting to get the drink I wanted at Rose & Crown I’m going to say we had fish & chips. Thankfully, drink wise that is, we passed France, and I of course, stopped for a slush, and this was the time she gave me the lemon by accident, but that was fine.
We snagged a pretty decent spot for the show right in the France/America/ region, somewhere in there and waited!
And that’s all folks! I seriously think I had psyched myself up a lot of the show, it had been a while since I’d seen it, and I feel like I expected more. Maybe I was just still thriving off World Of Color? Very possibly, but I just simply wasn’t as impressed as I thought I was going to be. It was still awesome though!! Tanessa and I again, lingered our way out of the park slowly, and when we did make it back to a bus, there was a very large obnoxious group of high schoolers on it who proceeded to yell and chant the entire way home. Ugh. We got home and fell into bed pretty quickly after that!
