"Didn't you see our first movie? We drive..." An August 2012 TR The new TR is up!!!
Let me set the scene for you... The Muppets are going to get the gang all back together and put on a big show to raise $10,000,000 to save the Muppet Studios from the evil Tex Richman who wants all of the oil under the Muppet Studios. So when Walter pretty much dies because he just met Kermit, he asks how they are all going to get the gang back together, and Kermits response is...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yys636ZzbK8 So thats what my mom and I did. No, not to find the Muppets to raise $10,000,000. I mean, we drove. To the happiest place on earth. This probably isnt even making any sense. Anyways, yes we drove the awful 22 hour drive to Walt Disney World. So that sentence pretty much gives it away that our drive to Disney was awful, and that we may never do it again. But was it worth it? Of course! I mean, we got to spend a week at Disney, so I will do whatever it takes to get time there. Even if it means being bored in the car and listening to my mom talk like shes from the south. And you are probably wondering who my mom and I are by now. Well then lets get to the introductions! The name is Meg.  Disney pretty much takes up my whole life. Oh, and fangirling over my favorite bands, but thats another story. I have been going to Walt Disney World since I was two and have been going back almost every year since. I have also been to Disneyland once when I was 5 or 6. I refuse to go someplace else on vacation. If we arent going to someplace that is WDW or involves Disney, I wont go. I am very into reading about Walt Disneys life, Imagineering, and details and secrets about the parks. My dream is to be an Imagineer and I am dying to do the College Program when that time rolls around. Other obsessions of mine include the Nightmare Before Christmas, the Muppets, Winnie the Pooh, music, and playing the guitar. And you are probably thinking by now that I am weird. Why yes, yes I am (and no I do not watch Phineas and Ferb.) And let me introduce my partner in crime!  (that gives away one of our ADRs...) I will call her Mum throughout this TR (and my future ones...) but her real name is Melissa, or you might know her as melmar136 here on the DIS! She is seriously the best mom ever and does so much for me, like bring me to Disney every year (thank God!) and gets me front row seats for concerts. She has been to WDW about 25 times and to Disneyland once. Now you might want to know some details about this trip. So you already know we drove (from Massachusetts). We left on the 9th and got to Orlando on the 11th, and went to Disney from the 12-19th. We stayed at three resorts this trip! The Beach Club from the 12-15th. The Wilderness Lodge from the 15-19th. And last but not least, Old Key West from the 19-20th. Thank God we have DVC because I am such the resort snob and plus the deluxe hotels are just beautiful. We also became AP holders because we will be taking 3 trips in one year (yay!) and we got Tables in Wonderland. This sure was one crazy trip packed with DISmeets, a tour, a very special dining experience, and a ton more! I will also be posting pictures from my Instagram and tweets from this trip (that will be in this font). Are you guys ready? I think I am! Well get comfortable, grab some popcorn, have a nice cold soda, sit back, and get ready to experience this exciting journey! Table of Contents REAL LIFE UPDATES Disney on Ice! Part 1 Disney on Ice!

A trip to Heaven Mary, Mousekears, and Mickey Mouse Garden Grove! I basically rant about stupid people for most of this update... We forget Muppet Vision 3D is 3D "5...4...3...2...1..." AAAHHHHHH!!! "OOOOOHHHHH!!!" August 14th, 2012 Ducks and Honey Boo Boo. That is all. Craziness at the Land I learn about sea creatures from Mr. Ray...and I do an awful job at it. It's raining, it's pouring...and the new voice guy sounds like he's snoring. Mum and I turn into penguins...

Hey Meg! It's Mum! Even though I experienced all of this with you, I can't wait to see everything you write about it! And to make sure you don't add in some of the horrible pictures you took of me while you were bored in the car!

Hi,
I am in! I won't be able to comment for about 10 days as we leave in the morning for our own journey to the World. But I will have something to come back to and catch up on. I will be doing my own Dining Report when I get back. So happy to read along!
