Is it just me or are some WDW employees getting crankier? I still love me my CM's, but it does seem to be a growing trend.
"Booked this back in August". That just made me laugh. I say consider yourself lucky.
Ahhh Sangria. I totally remember that from the PTR.
Mmmm that food. That's my kind of food. Nothing fancy, just YUM!
Ooh yeah, that's kind of like you don't joke about bombs and junk at the airport. They still have to take it seriously. Glad the spilled drink didn't cause any real issues.
Gahhh I still can't believe she's 80. I guess we live right "overseas". Haha, great moment.
STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE!!! Dying! Pretty sure I would love it.
Now, is this one of those deals where they randomly pick people even if you REALLY don't wanna? I've heard so much good about this whole experience, but that terrifies me, lol.
Haha, Your mom sure did have a lot of foot in mouth going on that night.

Could have sworn I at least started to reply to these last night, guess the internet messed up worse than I thought! Whooops!!
I dont even know, I feel like most of the ones I've encountered in Jan/Feb have been great!! There's some here and there, but things have been great for me?
SUCH GREAT FOOD!
Ahaha, the Canada stuff in HDDR is great, and yes! the sangria, NOM!
It's somewhere where they want you to participate, but they won't push if you don't want to go up. And as someone who has worked in a dinner theater for 6 years, if you don't want to go, and you say no, they SHOULD walk away to find someone else, if they don't, they are dumb.
Mom had a case of too much sangria in her mouth that night, bahaha, but really, it does concern me for the day that I am working down there and she claims that I "am" Rapunzel, like, no, there is only one blondie it's gonna take a lot of reminding lol.
It's amazing, you should definitely check it out, definitely worth the price for the show, food and booze, so entertaining!!
I KNOW RIGHT?!?! It's such a great night for everyone!! I knew Mom & Anne would at least enjoy it but we all had so much fun!
Ahaha, yup!! It confuses me, especially since I LOVED our Claire so much, it's weird to see different ones
ahaha
IT'S SUCH A BLAST, and seriously an all around great time, amazing!!

I think I would totally LOVE HDDR... Your descriptions and video are awesome! Wow, still cannot believe Anne is 80.... I hope I look half as good as her at that age!
It's amazing, you should definitely check it out, definitely worth the price for the show, food and booze, so entertaining!!
IHDDR! I want some of that Sangria right now!
It was weird though seeing a totally different cast that when we went in October. I was like, wait, those aren't the right people!

Just so everyone's aware, I am going to be amping up how much I'm posting on this TR. I got the photopass cd in for Dec, and went to actually start posting it, when I realized that there are stories connected to some going ons in this TR, and the few Oct updates that happened right after this, so, it all needs to get posted in chronological order
#whoops! Get ready to read!!
*****
Today was Monday September 16th and surprise! We were starting off a little slow this morning. I wasnt surprised, and I wasnt worried either, as this morning we were headed off to Epcot for the day! Lets be serious, its not my favorite park, theres not a whole lot to do there unless you have the money to drink/eat around the world, BUT there are short lines for characters, BONUS! We slept in a bit and took a little time getting ready, but I didnt bother eating anything for breakfast, I had MORE than enough plans to eat once we got there, and Mom and Anne decided to do the same. I believe this was one of the mornings that I told them Id meet them down at the bus stop after grabbing my coffee and we just missed the first bus which resulted in a crowded second bus, but hey, we still got there in one piece!
Yeah okay, Epcot may not be my favorite, but BOY is it GORGEOUS! Like, seriously, you can never take too many pictures in Epcot, thats for sure!
First, some photopass!
Now pose like a model
And one all excited and presenting the golf ball!
Its a golf ball get used to it
Our first stop was over this way;
As we had to grab some fast passes for the greatest ride over in that land heh heh, puns
Can you smell it?! THAT BEAUTIFUL SCENT OF THE LAND PAVILLION, ITS GLORIIOUS AND I MISS IT SO MUCH!! Seriously so sad we skipped Epcot last week, but hey, we only had so much time! Im pretty sure Anne was confused as to why we werent getting on it, but I explained I would ride it twice, and the fast passes would be a better system than getting in the standby line at this point, since we were later, and it was getting too long. I also said that I was going to get breakfast at Sunshine Seasons, so we all figured wed stop there for some food, I mean, its right there, and its DELICIOUS!
I went with the Berry Croissant Bread Pudding, and a water, while Mom grabbed the same and a coffee;
Anne went with the ever classic cinnamon bun:
And a water as well. We did end up using the last of our snack credits here, which, in hindsight, was probably not the best idea, as everything was pretty cheap, but hey, whatevs!
Anne enjoyed her cinnamon bun, and Mom and I both really liked the croissant pudding! It was super good, even if it was clearly unhealthy, bahah! Every so often it was super buttery in the bite youd take, but still super good.
Cost:
$3.19 Cinnamon Bun
$2.79 x 2 Croissant Pudding
$3.50 x2 Water bottles
$2.29 Coffee
Total Cost: $18.06
We paid: ZERO! Again, thank you DDP! Seriously, when its free, its totally worth it! Id have to do the math if it wasnt free, but Id think if youre going to do a lot of TS places, its worth it! With our bellies full of delicious food, we headed out of the Land, and over to a much wetter area, the SEAS! Around this point Mom started asking if we were going to do the turtle nemo thing we did last year, and I told her yes, it was coming up right away, and we proceeded to board our clam mobiles and were off on adventures in the big blue world!
We got off the ride and Moms first words were that was cute, but thats not what I meant Lawl. I laughed and told her that I knew what she had been talking about and that we were headed there next! That of course, was Turtle Talk With Crush, she had seriously loved it so much last year, and kept talking about it throughout the week!
Okay, so this time around, there were TONS of screaming kids and loud kids in the room, not the cool talkative ones, but the ones that should have been taken out of the room, so we couldnt hear over them, and the cast member talking to Crush/leading the thing had SUCH a thick accent, you could barely understand him.
HOWEVER, it was still fun, and funny story now; when Crush says he has a couple of things for you to help him identify, the first thing he pulled out, was a big foam finger .a whole MONTH later I realized what that was and burst out laughing. You see, this was right after the who Miley/Robin Thicke performance at whatever award show that was .Disney .RIGHT IN THE CURRENT EVENTS. I was SO SAD I didnt get it til so much later, because that wouldve been one heck of a laugh! But seriously, it was great. On our way out of the Seas Anne saw the little statues they have out in front and wanted her picture with Nemo, again, one of the few Disney movies shes actually seen! Baha.
Cute! Despite the not so great experience at Turtle Talk today, Mom still explained to Anne how much better it was last time, and that it really was great, and we still did have fun in the Seas! Since our fast pass time wasnt quite there yet, we headed on over to let our imaginations go WIIILLLDD.
Figments adorable, and theres no saying otherwise!
Upside down is right side up!! We played around a little bit on the way out, and Anne and Mom enjoyed the music maker, which you can catch in the video, kids of all ages I tell ya! In the gift shop on the way out there was a cast member who was playing around with a little air gun thing, he would pull it back, and then when it fires forward a huge blast of air would come at you, it was seriously hilarious to watch, he got me with it too. He was having way too much fun! Lol.
Thankfully, IT WAS TIME FOR OUR FAST PASSES NOW! So we trekked back to the Land, I got to smell those AMAZING smells once again, and before we knew it, we were taking off with Patrick, after all those lose items were stowed! I noticed it seemed like Anne kinda had a bit of trouble with the height on Soarin, which would explain why she didnt do many other rides, but we still all enjoyed it! I thought about pulling another FP for later but I wasnt sure where wed be later on, so we moved on, there were more adventures to be HAD!

Mom, Anne and I made our way through the rest of Future World while I messaged Brian a bit, he had been planning on coming to our lunch ADR with us, and figured hed meet up with us to play around a bit beforehand! Before we made it far, I said I needed to pop into Starbucks, I promised a friend Id say hello! For those of you who have read Jesss DCP report, or the TR I did for May, you might remember Miranda! I met her through Jess and were now friends and I knew shed be working Sbucks that day! I asked a CM where she was but she managed to see me before I saw her and we did the whole run and hug stereotypical girl thing, baha! Miranda and I caught up a bit, and she said she might be at MNSSHP later that week! All exciting stuff, and more exciting news, she just got transferred from the Starbucks over to Front Desk at one of the All Star Resorts! YAY MIRANDA!
I let her get back to her work, and we passed into World Showcase as I admired the absolute beauty and amazingness that is Epcot! Seriously, thats one gorgeous park! It wasnt long before I got distracted by an adorable fuzzy teddy bear and bolted off to Duffys line!! Mom and Anne werent feeling the heat and said theyd wait in the air conditioning instead, and headed over to the gift shop nearby. After a few seconds I decided I wasnt feeling this line either, and wandered over to meet them inside.
Once inside I promptly picked up a Duffy and it came everywhere around the store with me haters aside, I love Duffy, I just think hes so cute and fluffy, and SOFT AND ADORABLE AND THERES NO SAYING OTHERWISE!! Also his costumes, too cute. Noticing that I had an attachment to the bear, Anne asked if she could buy it for me as a thank you for planning the trip for us all, and of course, I said yes and thanked her immensely!
Isnt he cute?! Ive decided he needs a Move It Shake it outfit like for reals Purchase made and sent back to the resort, we finally moved into World Showcase and started in Mexico on our Grand Fiesta of an adventure! Heh heh, see what I did there!
Mom, Anne and I explored a bit, and then I made the choice that it was margarita tiiiiimmmmmeeeeee!!!! I headed into the little bar inside the pavilion while they continued to explore! On the menu they have a little history of tequila, which I thought was neat
Interesting, am I right? For my drink, I chose the Avacado Margarita! Yay! Id been intrigued by it since hearing about it, I love avocado, I love tequila, seemed like a good balance, right?! Lol. The bartender was super awesome and friendly in there too, made some chit chat, and asked if I wanted any tequila shots, baha! I said I didnt think my other party members would be down, but thanked him anyways, and made sure to tip him well!
My verdict, I really liked it! It blended together really well, every so often youd get a WAM of avocado, but I like that! Lol. I didnt know if I could go on The Three Caballeros with a drink, I figured not so I sent Mom and Anne on there while I wandered. I ended up finding a super nice crossbody, purple, hand made bag in one of the stores which was super awesome! Although since then, since it was big enough to fit my laptop, Ive ripped it and sewed it back up..lawl and then, ladies and gents, is when #lostinmexico began
Somehow Mom and Anne had gotten off the ride and missed me, and I had no idea where they were, I searched the pavilion for a little bit, checked outside, then back inside, and FINALLY, heard Mom shouting my name WHOO, SAVED! Seriously though, the tequila was probably not helping .Lol. Id also been continue to message Brian throughout this time and he ended up meeting us over in Norway, the home of the treats and the ever so amazing Maelstorm! Our first stop, was a snack for me of course!
My verdict? Still didnt like it. I know, I know, but I dont know what it is, its just not a favorite of mine, the bread part always tastes a little stale, and that just doesnt do it for me! I shared some bites with everyone, but we had a very important boat ride to get on next!
Yup, we braved it, we went back, back over the falls and NEARLY DIED, it was entertaining, to say the least been a while since Ive explored Norway. We slowly headed out and towards Germany, where I had a very important date! I couldnt miss the one and only princess that I was Disneybounding as, could I? The one and only Snow White, ladies and gents!
She started off with you look lovely, what nice colors! I like your bow! and then turned to her attendant and asked if she should change her bow and put it on the side. If you see the look on my face in the above picture, I think that about summarizes how I feel on that/her redesign. Originally they changed her bow to pink and put it off to the side like it was some Ardenes thing
She then noticed Brian waiting back in the line and asked if he was my Prince, and when I declined that thought, she said he must be one of my dwarves, and which one would he be? We both agreed that he looked pretty happy, so happy he must be!
Snow was super adorable and amazingly pretty, I also noticed that she was super tall! At least compared to me, Im used to being on height with princesses, especially since Ive heard they tend to cast Snow on the shorter side, so who knows?! Lol. Brian jumped in on there next!
We thanked the princess and moved on through the country, where we explored through the shops and eventually came across Italy. I loved the little glass figurines they have in there, SO PRETTY!
I dont think Id ever buy one since itd probably get broken so fast, but theyre nice! I also looked around in Italy for perfume Id bought the previous April, only to find out theyd discontinued it! AH! SO SAD! Im not a fan of the floral scents, I like the sweeter ones, like vanilla, the cast member did recommend something for me, so I sprayed some on and figured Id come back later if I liked it enough.

Mom, Anne, Brian and I were already in Italy, which was super convenient as we approached our ADR time, as we were dining at Via Napoli!! I had originally been choosing between here and Teppan Edo, but upon finding out an original party member had a severe shellfish allergy, we decided Italy was the safer option, and Im glad we ended up here!
Pretty! I checked us in and we didnt have to wait very long at all before we were seated! Man, that place is HUGE! I dont know how it isnt INSANELY loud in there, theres so many people at one time. We were led pretty much in a half oval over to our table, and ended up being RIGHT BESIDE THE OVENS! BEST DAY EVER!
I dont know why Im so excited over ovens, dont ask me why, everythings exciting in Disney, were a fandom who gets our picture taken with a garbage can
And now for the main love of Via Napoli, scroll back up to that top picture that you can see some of the Chefs in yeah check out the far left hand one HELLO! Seriously, I was very glad when I ended up sitting in a chair facing the ovens he also REALLY reminded me of one of the instructors/dancers with my ballroom company. I said something to Mom and she didnt know which teacher I was talking about, but once she saw the chef, she knew which one I meant, like, best day ever. Sadly, our server was a female although she was lovely and gave us great service.
For drinks, I started off with a Bellini, much different from those you get in America, which was nice!
To describe it, I would say its like a Mimosa, but with less fruity flavoring. Mom and Anne split a jug of the Italy beer (I have no idea what it was called, but the server said they had Bud Lite and the Italy one, and like, Im not letting my Mom drink Bud Lite ). Brian ended up getting a glass for it too just in case, but he ended up not liking it.
There was bread waiting for us on the table, and I really do wish there had been some vinegar in there to balance out the oil, so I didnt eat a whole lot of it, but it was good! Brian chose to get some Calamari as an appetizer and he was nice enough to share it with all of us!
Guys this calamari was SERIOUSLY the GREATEST calamari I had EVER tasted. It was amazingly tasty, the batter was light, and he sauce had a bit of a kick to it, but nothing you wouldnt be able to handle. I was blown away by the food already and it hadnt even hit the main course! Speaking of, it wasnt long until it came out, along with another round of bellini for myself! Lol.
Yup.. YUM! Margherita pizza! Its tomato, basil and mozzarella cheese, and its huge, in case you didnt notice. This was my entrée, and boy was it DELICIOUS! MORE NOMS THAT ARE AMAZING HERE! My only complaint was that the pizza crust nearer to the middle might have been a tiny bit undercooked, it was a little chewy for me. What can I say, Ive moved on to love thin crispy crusts! I did love the outer edges of the crust though, so obviously I highly recommend it! Its also definitely enough to feed two people!
Onto Mom, she got the Piattai Alla Parmigiana, with Veal! Traditional preparation with tomato sauce, parmesan and mozzarella, served with roasted potatoes
She thought it was lovely! Though she did say that it could have used a little more veggies, and I do agree, even some more green garnish to fill up the plate space, but she was satisfied, so were all good.
Anne got the Mezze Rigatoni alla Crema con Pollo pasta with cream, chicken and peas!
Her verdict said that it needed more garlic, but aside from that it was all delicious!
Brian went the plain option and got some plain spaghetti, I think with butter on the side? Maybe no sauce, my memory is fading here:
It was good. Oh, and Mr Fancy Pants here, turns out hes Italian and can speak it, so he went all out and ordered in Italian and had a little chat with our waitress while ordering. You go Glen Coco (10 points to you if you get that reference!)
Throughout the meal we talked a lot about the college program again, as it was Brians second semester doing it, and the International programs, you know, since we were in Epcot. I made the very bold statement in saying that Im seriously not interested in doing the Cultural Rep program, my heart just wouldnt be in it. Epcot is lovely and great and all, but Id rather be in MK or AK, or serving anywhere but Le Cellier, bahaha! I also really dont like that the rent for the provided accommodation is taken off your pay cheques whether you stay in them or not. Considering that youre sharing a room with someone no matter what, I just wouldnt want to do that. Ive been living on my own and for too long, and I know I need my space, I get way too grumpy. Lol.
It definitely solidified that I wouldnt do either program, despite the fact that I would accept ANY full time roll at Disney (which is what Im currently trying to do. I need full time hours so Id make enough to live off of, and Im on the Disney careers website daily checking for something, its gonna happen!) Eventually, it was time for dessert! To tell you the truth, I have no idea what Anne had, but it was a dairy based dessert, and it was tasty!
Mom went for the Tiramasu;
And after much agonizing over which delicious looking dessert to chose, I got the Gelato e Sorbetto;
GUYS I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS ENOUGH!! IT WAS THE MOST DELICIOUS THING IN THE WORLD!! As you might remember, Im not the biggest dairy fan, and after pizza, was hesitant on this, but it was absolutely amazing, like, the perfect balance of sorbetto and gelato, and not too creamy but just AMAZING. Also, forgot to mention, but the pizza was light on the cheese, so that was WONDERFUL.
We all tried each others desserts and shared around the table which was nice, mine was still my favorite, but all of them were really good. Soon enough, we were all finished up with desserts, and we asked the server if she could split off Brians part of the bill for us, as he would be using his CM discount, and we had the DDP to cover our meals. She was nice enough to mention how many credits we had left and that we could cover his meal with one as well, but I politely declined, saying that all those credits were accounted for.
Cost
$30.00 Veal Parm
$17.00 Margherita Pizza
$24.00 Pollo Pasta
$9.00 Tiramasu
$9.00 Gelato E Sorbetto
$6.00 Annes dessert ? Totally a guess
$12.00 x 2 Bellini
As for the beer jug, I have NO way of finding this out, next time, Ill try to keep receipts, it looks like a single beer is $10.00 so a jug is probably upwards of $25. Either way:
Total cost: $119.00 approx (plus beer jug)
We paid: Booze only! THIS my friends, was a DDP WIN! I can understand if youre just having the pizzas to pay OOP, but if youre getting ANYTHING else, its seriously worth it to use credits, I mean, look at the price of that PASTA, its insane! However, so, so worth it!
Food 5/5
-Everything was hot and fresh
-Delicious food
-Lots of options, pasta, meat dishes, pizza, salad, etc
-Dessert was seriously the greatest thing ever
-Calamari was the best Id ever had
Service 5/5
-Our server was very attentive and friendly and speedy with the food, not much else to say there lol
Ambiance 5/5
-This place is awesome
-HELLO sexy chefs and waiters, seriously, scroll back up to that top picture just look at that face again for a moment. And yes, for all you dudes out there (mainly looking at you Rob
heh heh heh) there are plenty of pretty females working here too, bahaha
-Its HUGE, but still manages to stay quiet with a ton of people in it, the only point it got loud was when the cast members would get together to do birthday songs for tables
All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this place, Via Napoli for the WIN, I will definitely be returning someday soon .maybe after Ive eaten in every other country? Aw heck, thats a lie, Ill be back before we know it, lol. You should probably all go too!
And now, since this has been the LONGEST UPDATE OF LIFE, I will leave you here to digest everything until the next installment of the Epcot ADVENTURES
Pretty! I checked us in and we didnt have to wait very long at all before we were seated! Man, that place is HUGE! I dont know how it isnt INSANELY loud in there, theres so many people at one time. We were led pretty much in a half oval over to our table, and ended up being RIGHT BESIDE THE OVENS! BEST DAY EVER!
I dont know why Im so excited over ovens, dont ask me why, everythings exciting in Disney, were a fandom who gets our picture taken with a garbage can
And now for the main love of Via Napoli, scroll back up to that top picture that you can see some of the Chefs in yeah check out the far left hand one HELLO! Seriously, I was very glad when I ended up sitting in a chair facing the ovens he also REALLY reminded me of one of the instructors/dancers with my ballroom company. I said something to Mom and she didnt know which teacher I was talking about, but once she saw the chef, she knew which one I meant, like, best day ever. Sadly, our server was a female although she was lovely and gave us great service.
For drinks, I started off with a Bellini, much different from those you get in America, which was nice!
To describe it, I would say its like a Mimosa, but with less fruity flavoring. Mom and Anne split a jug of the Italy beer (I have no idea what it was called, but the server said they had Bud Lite and the Italy one, and like, Im not letting my Mom drink Bud Lite ). Brian ended up getting a glass for it too just in case, but he ended up not liking it.
There was bread waiting for us on the table, and I really do wish there had been some vinegar in there to balance out the oil, so I didnt eat a whole lot of it, but it was good! Brian chose to get some Calamari as an appetizer and he was nice enough to share it with all of us!
Guys this calamari was SERIOUSLY the GREATEST calamari I had EVER tasted. It was amazingly tasty, the batter was light, and he sauce had a bit of a kick to it, but nothing you wouldnt be able to handle. I was blown away by the food already and it hadnt even hit the main course! Speaking of, it wasnt long until it came out, along with another round of bellini for myself! Lol.
Yup.. YUM! Margherita pizza! Its tomato, basil and mozzarella cheese, and its huge, in case you didnt notice. This was my entrée, and boy was it DELICIOUS! MORE NOMS THAT ARE AMAZING HERE! My only complaint was that the pizza crust nearer to the middle might have been a tiny bit undercooked, it was a little chewy for me. What can I say, Ive moved on to love thin crispy crusts! I did love the outer edges of the crust though, so obviously I highly recommend it! Its also definitely enough to feed two people!
Onto Mom, she got the Piattai Alla Parmigiana, with Veal! Traditional preparation with tomato sauce, parmesan and mozzarella, served with roasted potatoes
She thought it was lovely! Though she did say that it could have used a little more veggies, and I do agree, even some more green garnish to fill up the plate space, but she was satisfied, so were all good.
Anne got the Mezze Rigatoni alla Crema con Pollo pasta with cream, chicken and peas!
Her verdict said that it needed more garlic, but aside from that it was all delicious!
Brian went the plain option and got some plain spaghetti, I think with butter on the side? Maybe no sauce, my memory is fading here:

Just to clear that up, it's definitely not me thinking that. Just something I've heard a lot lately. I still find them amazing.
OK... Bring on the updates Katt!!
Just for the record, I tend to write down comments as I read, so in case this gets covered later... Snow White Disneybound??
Haha, that tends to be my course of action too. Fastpass Soarin'... then eat at Seasons.
Can you believe I still haven't seen Turtle Talk? Yeah, me neither.
See that, you DID cover it. Snow White indeed.
OK, I was seriously just writing that Snow looked REALLY TALL!!!
Bahaha, yup we do like our pictures with trash cans. #SavePush
Haha "You go Glen Coco`` MEAN GIRLS!
you are totally in my head with this update. I was literally thinking "Ok, so what does the chef do for me?" And you clearly covered that. I can attest though that Teppan Edo does as well 
That said, despite not being a TS sort, Via Napoli is DEFINITELY on my list of to dos.

Okay! I'm getting all caught up.
Okay, the Starring Rolls pictures just make me want to go back right now! And eat.......everything!
Oh, man, I'm sorry you felt crappy after you ate the cupcake! I've done that to myself before. I'm not feeling great, but I let my desire for a sweet treat get me and then, not so good.
Streetmosphere is one of the best things at DHS, hands down. I could watch them forever.
The movie montage is almost the entire reason I ride the Great Movie Ride! I just love. Who doesn't love a good montage?!
You'd have great photo opportunities with a Gaston and the silly girls! I also agree with your assessment of that Gaston. He's just a little long in the tooth. LOL.
You're so right about Disney! Like, pumping pretty much everything they had into Disneyland, hoping beyond hope that it would be a massive hit. I wish he could see what it's all become now. Many think he would be disappointed, and I don't think so. He was all about moving forward.
Awwww, it's your Cocoa Puff!
No boat at the end of Fantasmic? Well okay then. That's just weird.
I actually order my pizza a la carte, because I'm not a fan of the salads they have either. And, because we rarely do the dining plan, I don't want to pay extra for something I don't want.
I would actually love to be Dory in that show. I have the album and I'm not gonna lie, I sing her parts all the time!
Haha! Those are smarties! LOL. It always cracks me up that things are so different those, and we're not that far apart!
You know what though, it makes tons of sense for two of the bird dancers to be married. It takes a ton of trust to do something like that.
Wait, what does that lady booking the show in August have to do with her having to walk up stairs? A connection, that does not make.
I'm glad the sangrias have improved! The last time we went there they were not good at all!
Jason actually got picked to participate the last time that we saw the show. Not that it's surprising, he's honestly ridiculous.
Haha! Greatest ride in the land. Ba dum bum.
I didn't love the avocado margarita, but mainly because it was blended. I just prefer on the rocks. Other than that, I thought the fast was good.
It's totally okay to not like school bread! I think of it this way. We all have individual tastes and likes. If it's not up your alley, that's totally okay. That also means I don't have to share it with you at all in November. LOL.
Wow, that Snow is pretty tall!
Anne and your Mom likely had Moretti beer. It's the "normal" beer in Italy. LOL. Not that I drink a lot of beer or anything.
AAAHHHHHHHH!!!! Mean Girls Damian reference!!!!!!

Ah, makes sense! I have heard some stories, but like, the cm's are learning just as we're learning about bands & fp plus and stuff, especially those who don't have anything/much to do with it, I think people just need to give them a break! Lol.
Hahaha, I do that too, so no worries!
Breakfast at sunshine seasons is just the way to be, or in france, but that's only convient if you're coming in from the gateway! Lol.
REALLY?!? When's the next time our trip's cross paths?! We're going!! Lol.
Yup!! It was one of my favourite Disneybounds as it was so cute, and I thought super easily recognizable! She was crazy tall, like, I'm used to a couple inches as I'm on the bottom of the princess range (except for last week when I was measured over 5'4'' .
) but she's like, at the top of the range plus her heels lolYeah, lol, I got ya covered! Lol, I'm not sure WHAT I was on when I was writing these updates, but clearly it was something entertaining lol
And
for getting the mean girls reference!!

Hi Katt! I just started following you recently on Instagram and I see you post on almost all of the TR's I follow, so I figured it was high time I read one of yours! So I started with the most recent because we were there not long after you.
Just spent the weekend catching up, and although I can't remember everything I enjoyed about your updates, I did want to let you know I will be following along for future updates!! I absolutely love all of your Disneybounding outfits! I think that is just so creative. Looking forward to more!

Wow, Hoop Dee Doo looks like so much fun! You have me convinced that I need to experience this some day.
Mmmmmm the berry croissant bread pudding to so gooood!!!!
Bwahahahaha the foam finger with Crush! Too funny
Awwww Duffy's cute. I'd probably get one if I didn't already have the original Disney bear. I think he needs some of Duffy's outfits though, Duffy has a seriously cute wardrobe.

I totally agree that Epcot is a beautiful park but its not my favorite.
I love Sunshine Seasons but I've never had breakfast there, I might have to try that soon!
I wanted to buy a Duffy on my last trip so bad! His outfits are too cute, I think I'll be getting one on my next trip!
That avocado margarita looks delicious! I have to try one sometime!
And I love love love Via Napoli too! Everything is sooo good there, but I agree it is pretty loud haha.

Womp womp. I'm such an awful diser omg. Basically catching up with your entire TR now 
I need to see Country Bears next time! We've never done it!
Ah yay our first time running into each other! I was a little shamed/proud that Chris recognized you before I did! Clearly I trained him well!
Omg all of the paintings in that store are amazing! I wanted to take them all home. Maybe one day if I hit lotto? I totally bought a puzzle version of one of them though.
BOG. Aw yay for seeing Shelly even though she wasn't your server && yay for grey stuff! I'm obsessed with BOG! It's so amazing and feels just like your in BATB! I love it.
I really hope they never change Wishes. Like ever. Too much emotional attachment for me now.
Aw such a nice idea to explore the Oasis in the morning! I should totally try to slow down enough for that!
I love the pictures of Ann with Pooh! So cute!
Ah I love King Louie and Baloo! Too funny that your friend said his favorite character was Basil. So random (but signs of a true Disney fan I guess!)
I'm still sad that we never met Poca in September! She's fairly elusive!
You look ADORABLE as Wendy! So cute!
Wow that's amazing that you walked right into the princess rooms. The 13th was definitely a good day to be at MNSSHP, or really anywhere that wasn't DHS!
Hallowishes is so amazing! Like the amount of money all of those fireworks must cost is insane!
I can't believe you only waited 25 minutes for Jack and Sally! So awesome.
I'm sure you've seen video of the Villains bash by now but yeah...definitely a madhouse! Seems like MNSSHP was definitely much calmer that night!
Ugh rude CMS yuck.
Aw I love the ToT pic with Ann covered her head! AH SO jealous you got the cowboy side. I wanted to ask too but I was too shy. Wah.
Sad to hear the Anna/Elsa auditions didn't end well but I'm glad you still had a magical trip anyway!
Um the bimbettes costumes totally need to happen in our future. Like asap.
Love Ralph and Vanellope! Adorable pictures!
I don't know if I could get at Sci-Fi! I like the concept but not being able to see my food before I eat it isn't something I can do! I have a weird thing about inspecting my food before I eat it Your mom's cheesecake did look amazing though!
um Chris and I were REALLY sad that there was no boat for Fantasmic. Like I'm sure they didn't think it was a significant thing but it is to me!
Sounds like a great time at HDDR! I really wanna go one day but I don't think there's anything Chris will eat there so I'm not sure how that's gonna work. Love the birthday announcement for Ann! So fun!
AH I love Duffy! && I'm fairly certain we both got Duffy on the same day!
Via Napoli sounds amazing & I'm pretty sure it's on my list for next trip! I love how Brian is the true Italian who could order in Italian && ordered plain pasta! Love the mean girls reference!
Yay! I'm finally all caught up!
I need to see Country Bears next time! We've never done it!

It's seriously amazing and so much fun! You definitely have to check it out sometime!!

Duffy has an incredible wardrobe, though I do wish he had some more outfits!
SO gorgeous!! But most days just not my cup of tea lol!
They've got so many awesome breakfast options, you should definitely chek it out!!

I need to see Country Bears next time! We've never done it!
We did it again this week and it really is just the most random of insane things thrown together, but it is entertaining!
Ah yay our first time running into each other! I was a little shamed/proud that Chris recognized you before I did! Clearly I trained him well!
Aahahahah
Omg all of the paintings in that store are amazing! I wanted to take them all home. Maybe one day if I hit lotto? I totally bought a puzzle version of one of them though.
Oh my god I KNOOOOW they're amazing and I wish they weren't that expensive of hard to get home!
I really hope they never change Wishes. Like ever. Too much emotional attachment for me now.
I would legit be super sad, I mean, I love me some Hallowishes, BUT I still need my daily wishes and they need to stay classic!
Aw such a nice idea to explore the Oasis in the morning! I should totally try to slow down enough for that!
I love the pictures of Ann with Pooh! So cute!
Ah I love King Louie and Baloo! Too funny that your friend said his favorite character was Basil.
AK really was a good time, it was super nice to take it slower, the perfect thing to do in Sept too!! We had a lot of character fun that morning!
I'm still sad that we never met Poca in September! She's fairly elusive!
Poca needs to be out in more than one park, that'd be great, like, they need her for Fantasmic anyways, throw her out for some sets beforehand!
You look ADORABLE as Wendy! So cute!
Thank you!!!
Wow that's amazing that you walked right into the princess rooms. The 13th was definitely a good day to be at MNSSHP, or really anywhere that wasn't DHS!
It was the BEST night for me to be there, especially solo, I was able to get so much done and not worry about anyone else lol!!
Hallowishes is so amazing! Like the amount of money all of those fireworks must cost is insane!
I seriously cannot imagine how much money goes into a party night, yet tickets are only $60, like, it's so worth it. The amount of candy, all the extra staff, the bigger fireworks, it's insane!!
I can't believe you only waited 25 minutes for Jack and Sally! So awesome.
I'm sure you've seen video of the Villains bash by now but yeah...definitely a madhouse! Seems like MNSSHP was definitely much calmer that night!
Yeah, I skimmed through the videos, mainly to see Meg, bahaha, BUT, it was isnsane (also, little disney rumour, at the prince audition they had a few weeks ago, it was posted for the princes, but they verbally said they were also casting Tarzan and HERCULES!!!! #DYING. I'm hoping that means they'll be out for halloween this year!
Ugh rude CMS yuck.
Aw I love the ToT pic with Ann covered her head! AH SO jealous you got the cowboy side. I wanted to ask too but I was too shy. Wah.
Haha I've wanted to ask a few times since then but we never seen to stop right at the entrance so I can't really talk to a cm lol
Sad to hear the Anna/Elsa auditions didn't end well but I'm glad you still had a magical trip anyway!
Meh, it was a magical, fantastic and definitely super fun trip even without a successful audition, and I didn't expect much out of it anyways
Um the bimbettes costumes totally need to happen in our future. Like asap.
Love Ralph and Vanellope! Adorable pictures!
I don't know if I could get at Sci-Fi! I like the concept but not being able to see my food before I eat it isn't something I can do! I have a weird thing about inspecting my food before I eat it
um Chris and I were REALLY sad that there was no boat for Fantasmic. Like I'm sure they didn't think it was a significant thing but it is to me!
It seriously threw me off, like, what, wait, what, wait…WHERE IS IT?!?! It was just super weird, not expected, and just weird….that's the climactic point before the finale lol
Sounds like a great time at HDDR! I really wanna go one day but I don't think there's anything Chris will eat there so I'm not sure how that's gonna work. Love the birthday announcement for Ann! So fun!
Hahaha awwe!! Well if we go back and you're there at the same time we'll have to meet up for it lol!!
AH I love Duffy! && I'm fairly certain we both got Duffy on the same day!
Via Napoli sounds amazing & I'm pretty sure it's on my list for next trip! I love how Brian is the true Italian who could order in Italian && ordered plain pasta!
Yay! I'm finally all caught up!
Ahaha, VN was delicious and super tasty, I will definitely be back there again someday!!
