A Frump's TR: "Me Gusta Epic Mealtime! Stop Thinking My Thoughts: I'm Five." DR LINK!

Subbing in!

It's so fun to find another TR by you. I keep starting your past TR's, then life gets in the way of my Dis time and don't get on the site for months! (I know...that should be a crime of sort). I just commando-style read through your last TR w/ Jess, and now I'm caught up here too.

Seeing your pics of Ohana made me so happy & so sad. It's my favorite meal ever, and it's my ONLY must-eat when we go to WDW. Unfortunately I live on the other side of the country so I only get that meal once a year (if that). The noodles and the dessert are my favorite part. I miss it. :sad2:

Can't wait to read more!
 
Hi there! I'm fairly new to Disboards. I just wanted to say that I've enjoyed reading about your adventures. I did 2 college programs (about 10 years ago) and continued to work for WDW for a few years.... and I still love it there! If you need any pointers about the college program interview, let me know (although the info I have may now be a bit outdated, I still have friends who work down there and know the ins and outs).

Now, my family and I go to WDW at least once a year and I plan everything. Our little girl loves it! In fact, this year when we go my best friend and her family are going with us and I'm meeting up with some of my old college program friends. :cheer2:
 
I don't know which part of that last update I love more: Joni or the noodles! Okay, it's probably the noodles, but that's just because they are amazing and I'm really hungry right now.

Hahaha it's a toss-up! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the noodles. :love:

Sorry I've been so bad about commenting lately. I've been following along though.

I love the giraffe pictures! My cousin is OBSESSED with giraffes and she would be having a field day with allie's mom's pictures!

Luckily you managed to beat the tour groups to everest! I've done single rider before for that ride and have ended up sitting next to a tour group kid on multiple rides of that ride. It is definitely NOT pleasent! I never really understood the tour group hate on the DIS untill my past couple of trips. I feel like there is ALWAYS some kind of tour group in Disney no matter when you go.

The frump pictures in the car on the way back to your resort are FANTASTIC!!!! I have to say ever since I read Jess' and your TR's i've been paying alot more attention to things like the monorail voice, Disney Food and of course the Deer face and just frumpy things in general. It definitely adds to the Disney experience.

It was such a close call! Ugh I am so sorry. That sounds awful. I've avoided them almost completely on a couple trips, but they were TAKING OVER on this one.

Hahaha thank you. Ah I'm so glad.​

Yeah I have to agree with you about those noodles at O'hana! They are FABULOUS!!!!!!!! I know for a fact I had seconds and I feel like I might have even had thirds of them. Forget about everything else as long as you give me those noodles and the bread pudding I will be a happy camper at O'hanas. Last time I was there they gave us some ice cream with sprinkles with our bread pudding in case we needed more ice cream which of course made the whole thing better!

I love that you were planking on the monorail, just saying :). I've wanted to do goofy monorail poses forever but every time i'm on the monorail there are other people on the monorail with me.

That splash mountain photo bomb is perfect! The husband is definitely doing the Smoulder! i've had my share of photobomb pictures (heck I have even been the photobomber myself from time to time) but non of them have been as perfect as that picture.

Yeah I think I have looked at those rice krispie treats so many times but I have never actually gotten one. I think if I remember correctly they are almost 50 bucks.

Ditto! Some of the best foods EVER.

Haha thank you. Yeah there were other people on it but oh well. I have no shame.

Thanks haha. Yeah he totally is!

Yeah they are! It's INSANE. I could never bring myself to buy one.​

YUM to 'Ohana! Did you see the changes they made to the menu? What do you think of them? I wish they would keep the 3 sauces.

How fun to have a DISmeet with Joni!

I did! I don't mind them except for the sauces...but what can ya do? :/

It was so fun! I love her.​

Love your report! And I have to say.....
Your eyelashes are PERFECT! <3
What on earth do you use??!

Aww thank you! I'm really Italian, and I guess I was just blessed with long eyelashes, but I do love Loreal brand mascaras.

GREAT updates!:)I know that's obvious to everyone,but I felt I needed to say it nevertheless.

Love the picture "Comtemplative Giraffe".Glad you were able to see the Zebras in December-I didn't see them when I went in December,but I am happy for you nevertheless.

Glad to see that Allie is a Poncho Person.I know that those of us in the Poncho community are sometimes frowned upon,but we will continue to excercise our Poncho rights nevertheless.

I look forward to more updates and especially your December TR(can't wait to see what you thought of Holidays @ the World).I wish I lived at WDW,but your TRs really help give everyone a "WDW Fix" nevertheless.

Hahaha thanks. She definitely is. I tend to judge them lol.

I'm looking forward to having the time to write them! I wish I did as well...​

YEAHHHH NEW UPDATES!! I LOVE IT!

What a perfect day honestly. I have been thinking about 'Ohana constantly for like the past week. Every meal is disappointing bc it is not at 'Ohana. I don't even know what to do about life.

So glad you got to meet up with Joni! She is so sweet giving Allie that pin. Btw I love that you keep calling Allie AL because it reminds me of the Genie calling Aladdin Al. :thumbsup2

Ah why am I so busy. I wish I had time to update more.

Seriously. It was fabulous. Preach it, girl. TRUTH.

She is a total sweetheart! Haha aw yeah it is like the Genie! I am totally the Genie to her Aladdin-ness. We're precious.​

Those yeti plushes are ADORABLE. And so are the Yeti pins that look like that! I NEED that set!

THOSE GIRAFFE PICTURES.

And omg giraffes should just make a whole album of covers. “If I Were a Human” would win a Grammy.

THE LO MEIN NOMS. GIMMEEE.

Oh my GOD. THE FOOOOD FROM OHANA. Dying over here because IT LOOKS SO GOOD.

I seriously need that whip me locks to and fro shirt. Disney makes the best shirts ever.

THAT PICTURE FROM SPLASH. That kid has awesome parents!

Chocolate croissants are my favorite thing EVER so I am dying right now over the pictures.

I know right!?

Ah yes it totally would. The giraffe and I are so talented...:p

I WANT IT ALL KNOW.

Haha they really do. SO CLEVER.

Haha he really does!

Me too. I want one. Or 12.​

Welcome back! I've missed your updates!

Those NOODLES look fantastic! Can't wait to eat there for the first time in Oct.

So awesome that you met Joni!

Hopefully someday I'll be in the Parks the same time as you all. You're celebrities!

I'm so sorry I don't have time to update more! Thanks for being so loyal!

They are. I love them so much.

It was! I love her!

YES! That would be fab. Aw you're so sweet!​

I just read through your entire TR! I was so bummed when I got to the end.
Sounds like you guys had a fabulous trip and I can't wait to read more about it!

More updates are coming I swear! We definitely did!​

Love it!!!

:thumbsup2

All caught up again! I'm just so bad at keeping up with these TRs nowadays. Junior year needs to give me a break seriously! UGH. But thanks to this I am still alive! Thank you vacation and Disney TRs! BTW, that truly was the best photo bomb I've see yet, quite frumpy lol And that's so great how you got to meet Joni! How sweet of her to just give one of her pins to Allie. :goodvbes I can only hope that on my next Disney trip I'll get to meet one of you totally awesome DISers (Which, btw, is OFFICIAL! YES! IN A YEAR, TIMMY WILL BE BACK IN DISNEY!!!!)

Can't wait to read more!

You and me both Timmy...yeah junior year was rough. :/ Hahaha wasn't it!? We still laugh about it. She was so sweet for sure! AH YAY YOU'RE GOING BACK!!! :woohoo:

Loving your TR! Great pics!


Love your TR so far...

I want to try Ohana at night, I have only did the breakfast but the dinner looks slammin! Boardwalk looks like a fantastic resort. maybe one day we can stay deluxe!

I love your dress you wore there and love that Snow White shirt. I never find cute disney clothes!

Oh and this is random, but what kind of mascara do you use? LOL. It really stands out and I am all about some makeup!

Thanks! It definitely is worth the dinnertime meal! It's AMAZING. Oh I LOVE the Boardwalk. It's my favorite place on this earth. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Thanks! They're everywhere though haha.

I love the Loreal mascaras, but I think I just have long lashes lol. I never use fakes!​

Just joining your TR! You too are too cute. I have to ask (I'm new to disboards) but what is with the frump stuff? I've seen other people post it and I just don't understand!

Aw thanks! See WEDWDW's post!​

Beachta1 you really should hunt up the other frump reports. Start with the port report one, it should linked in either the first post of this thread or early on in the college program frump report.

These girls are darn entertaining!

Ah yes please do! The links are all in the first post.

Thanks so much! :-)

I mean, considering I can't sleep or anything I FINALLY caught up on your trip report! IT JUST MAKES ME THAT MORE EXCITED. I'm just going to burst, nbd.

WOOO. I MISS YOU.​

Great updates....all of them :coffee:

I can't believe you had a dole whip after all that yumminess of O'Hana! But I guess I would've done the same in your place ::yes::

Love the photo bombing little guy! I must teach my little one those tricks.

And the lei around the ankle is very cool :thumbsup2

Thanks! AH I know! I don't know WHAT we were thinking...

Haha he was great. Yes you must!

Oh thanks hehe. I'm a frump, what can I say.​

Luvin all your updates. Amazing safari pics and food pics hmmm I need Disney food. I want your Duffy pin :)

Thanks! Credit goes to Sharon for those. I had some as well but I just decided to use hers. That wasn't even close to all of them! Ah yes I need Disney food as well. YUM.​

Kristen,I hope you don't mind if I jump in here!:)

beachta1,here is the definition from the very first Frump TR.:)

Don't worry,I had no CLUE about the Frumps several months ago,but have found their TRs to be the best things going on The DIS-the Frumps are quintessential "Disney people".:)

Welcome to the Land of the Frumps!:)

http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=39663994&postcount=3

Oh feel free! Thanks for helping out! :thumbsup2

Subbing in, because I think between you and Jess, I am trying to catch up on like 4 different TRs. Love it.

Sounds like a fun trip so far. Love the hair ribbons and I adore your phone case!!

FYI, next time you see the tour groups, do what my hubby liked to do - jump in and photo bomb their group pictures. I think he was in quite a few one trip. It made running into the tour groups a bit more fun for him. ;)

I loved the photo bombing family behind you on Splash.

Hahaha it's insane.

It definitely was! Aw thanks!

HAHAHA I've definitely done that as well. It's so fun.

They were great!​

Best giraffe pictures! Really should be a new career!

That is so great that you got to meet up with Joni! Sounds like such a fun time!

The photobombing picture made me laugh so hard! What a great family!!

Love your car pictures too, you guys make the best faces ever!

Right!? That's what I said!

It was! She's so precious.

They were fantastic.

Thanks haha. We're frumps.​

Kristen my little frump friend I was so excited to see all of your updates! Yay for 'Ohana and Y&Y - two of my favorites. :thumbsup2 'Ohana has now switched up their salad a little. It's all good. (Of course I comment on food before anything else - I'm obsessed!)

Oh, and you know we were at AKL for part of our trip last week and those giraffes remind me that I was totally a baby and cried the first time I saw all the animals roaming the 'savanna'.. it was so awesome. And after all the times we've been to AK, still no safari trip for us. We are such bad Disers!

Brenda! Hooray! They're two of my favorites as well. So yummy. Haha I am as well. Glad to hear it's still good!

Yes! I'm so glad you liked it! That place just holds such sentimental value for me. It feels like home. Ah no you're not though! You must do it soon!​

And another thing reminded me of you... the "no dancing people" on the moving rides! So funny that we think of you. I also had to laugh at the sign that said keep your drapes closed at AKL since the savanna is monitored by cameras... ha!

I love, love, love your updates so please keep the trips booked so you can keep the TRs coming! I thank you for your service to the Disney obsessed community!! :upsidedow

Hahaha aww I'm so glad you did! That's fantastic. Ah yes! I always forget to close them. :laughing:

I will try my very hardest! Seeing how I'm so behind, I'll probably be writing TR's until I'm 90. :upsidedow: You are very welcome!​

Subbing in!

Can't wait to read more!

Yay! Glad you're here! If that's a crime, then I am also guilty! :blush: That's what I do with updates lol.

Ah I love it there. I miss it so much.​

Wow! Yes that would be awesome! I won't be able to do my CP for a couple years yet, but I'll keep that in mind!

That's awesome! So fun!!​
 
Chapter 11- Cinderella's Royal Table! (Part 1)

July 16th, 2012

Hello all! So sorry for my month-long absence...life has been out of control! It's really sad when you attend your cousin's surprise birthday party and one of the first things she says is: "How did you manage to have time for this?" AHHH. Life has been literally nuts but I've got spring break coming up in a few days so hopefully lots of updates are in store!

Anyways, on this morning we woke up at 7:15 A.M., got ready, and drove to the TTC. We parked in Simba 11 and took the tram to the front of the TTC.

Tramin' it up, love that feelin'!

img30272w.jpg


img30282z.jpg


We took monorail orange to the Magic Kingdom and got there at 8:45! We went right on in!

dsc08454z.jpg


dsc08461ym.jpg


Family photo op!

img30292.jpg


Of course we couldn't make it all the way up Main Street without pin trading!

img30302.jpg


img30312.jpg


I actually scored an AWESOME pin right there. It was a College Program mousekears pin! I love it and it's such a reminder of all my goals and ambitions.

img30322k.jpg


FRUMP.

SLEW OF US IN FRONT OF THE CASTLE PICS AHEAD. WARNING.

img30332m.jpg


img30342n.jpg


A little bit closer now...

img30352.jpg


img30362.jpg

MERP.

img30392.jpg


"A thing of beauty is a joy forever..."

dsc08464m.jpg


dsc08468h.jpg


dsc08469bb.jpg


We made our way through the Castle into Fantasyland and checked into our breakfast ADR at Cinderella's Royal Table! EEEEEEPP!!!! I hadn't been here since I was 6 years old, so I was really freakin' excited!!!

dsc08471w.jpg


This was basically our view from our window table once we got inside, but Imageshack is hating that pic, so I just thought I'd mention it now. It was PERFECT.

dsc08472pf.jpg


We were escorted inside to Cinderella's meeting area and waited to see her. It is so beautiful in there!

dsc08474u.jpg


The stairs to get up to the restaurant:

Chapter 12- Cinderella's Royal Table! (Part 2)

July 16th, 2012

Soon we were next to meet Cinderella! She looked kind of like Molly Ringwald and she was precious! She asked us if we were sisters and we told her that we were best friends, and she said that she and Ariel are the same way, and perhaps they should coordinate their outfits as well. :-) SO CUTE.

img30412.jpg


img30422.jpg


img30432.jpg


img30442.jpg


img30452.jpg


This next picture is our favorite. I swear she was NOT talking about The Gun Show. :P

img30472.jpg


YAY princess meets!

img30482j.jpg


img30492.jpg


Al left her autograph book by Cinderella, and when she went back, Cindy told her "No worries, I leave things all the time!" Glass slipper reference. SO cute.

We went upstairs to the restaurant and had to take a picture on the beautiful balcony.

img30502.jpg


We were led to a window table and our server was named Mark, and he was from our hometown! Cue the "It's a small world" cliché.

We noticed that there was a stray Minnie Mouse balloon on the ceiling. We thought it was too cute.

img4638z.jpg


I posted that pic on Instagram (disney_frump) and someone who works at CRT commented and said that it happens all the time. How funny.

We were brought menus, wishing stars, wands, and delicious pastries. EPIC SCORE.

dsc08483c.jpg


dsc08489q.jpg


dsc08484s.jpg


Here's a menu shot for you all. Everything looked delicious, but of course I knew what I wanted ahead of time.

dsc08491w.jpg


Our assortment of pastries:
dsc08490z.jpg


YUM. They were all so good! We devoured them.

Here we are at our window table:
img30512.jpg


Soaking up the magic. We're five.

img30572.jpg


BEST FRANDS.

img30672l.jpg


Once we ordered our food, it took no time at all! We were pleasantly surprised.

Timmy ordered the Steak and Eggs, which I'm pretty sure he liked! He ate it all, I believe.

dsc08492y.jpg


Al was boring and got the Traditional Breakfast, which she ate most or all of. She LOVED the potatoes. She thought they were fantastic.

dsc08493.jpg


Sharon and I both got the same thing, the Cream Cheese-stuffed French Toast. This was SO YUMMY. I loved the raspberry sauce (although I wish there were more of it) the flavor was different but delicious, and ahh I just loved it. I want it now haha.

dsc08494n.jpg


dsc08495k.jpg


Up next- some chats with our favorite princess friends!

img30692.jpg


Stay tuned!

Continued in Next Post
 
yay you updated! I honestly got to excited over that. :rotfl2: Love those matching dresses, disney needs to sell more of those!
Oh my goodness that cream cheese stuffed french toast. Lord help me thats a beautiful food picture. :goodvibes
 
Chapter 13- Cinderella's Royal Table! (Part 3)

July 16th, 2012

Snow White was up first! She was so sweet.

img30702.jpg


img30712.jpg


I WANT TO BE HER.

img30722g.jpg


img30732.jpg


Next up was Aurora. She was SO pretty and reminded us of a girl we go to school with.

img30742f.jpg


img30752.jpg


img30762.jpg


Pretty pretty princess.

img30772.jpg


img30782m.jpg


Ariel was next. Ah she's my favorite! I love her.

img30792.jpg


img30812.jpg


My face in the next one...lol.
img30822.jpg


She asked Al and me if we'd like to be mermaids, and we said that yes, of course we would! She then proceeded to ask if we could swim (yes), if we liked to sing (yes!), and if we were afraid of sharks (no...total lie), so she said she'd talk to Daddy about getting us some fins and shells! HOORAY! Mermaids fo lyfe.

See y'all under the sea!

img30832.jpg


img30842.jpg


After Ariel left, the Fairy Godmother's disembodied voice told us that it was time to make our wishes! We regressed into five year olds once again and did just that!

img30852.jpg


img30862.jpg


Making our wishes...
img30872.jpg


img30882.jpg


It was all quite precious. Soon after that Belle came by in her blue and white dress! This seems odd to me, as all the other princesses are wearing their very finest. Maybe she doesn't wear the yellow dress because she doesn't want to show Cindy up. That's probably it.

img30902.jpg


img30912.jpg


This next pic...there are no words.

img30922.jpg


LAWLS.

img30932.jpg


img30942.jpg


We said au revoir to Belle, received our complimentary photo package, paid, and left CRT.

Up next- believe it or not, there are more princesses to meet!

Continued in Next Post
 


posting again! :cool1:ha. You and that snow white could be sisters. Like really. Go be snow's friend. That Belle pic is priceless :lmao: She's such a frump.
 
yay you updated! I honestly got to excited over that. :rotfl2: Love those matching dresses, disney needs to sell more of those!
Oh my goodness that cream cheese stuffed french toast. Lord help me thats a beautiful food picture. :goodvibes

Yes I did! Haha I'm so glad. Thanks! They really do. I love them!

SO GOOD. Thanks!​
 
Chapter 14- "I Hope You Get to Shoot a lot of Bows Today..."

July 16th, 2012

After we left CRT, we made our way around the Castle to meet one of my new favorite characters!

dsc08499s.jpg


dsc08504f.jpg


Got a clue yet?

dsc08505dc.jpg


It was Merida! I loved Brave, and I love Merida's independent spunk. We would be great friends.

She had literally NO line, so we went right up to see her. Al, in her effort to make conversation, goes "I hope you get to shoot a lot of bows today..." and in reaction to this, literally wrote "asldjhlakdfj potato" in her trip journal. I'm staring at it right now. LOL.

I don't remember what Merida said to that, but she was precious. Her accent was dead on. She was great!

img30952.jpg


1361316469886.jpg


After that we had to go see our friends on Winnie the Pooh!

NEW FANTASYLAND SIGNS!

dsc08507d.jpg


Winnie the Pooh time!

dsc08509j.jpg


dsc08511e.jpg


Al's favorite sign. "ABSOLUTELY NO GOPHERS!"

dsc08513p.jpg


Just singing along...
dsc001052.jpg


Excitement:
dsc001062.jpg


dsc085182.jpg


Next we went to the Sword in the Stone so Sharon could have some photo op moments.

dsc08520q.jpg


dsc08522cq.jpg


1361316901189.jpg


We were unsuccessful.

We headed to Tomorrowland next and got some Space Mountain Fastpasses!

dsc08526qm.jpg


dsc08544c.jpg


We decided to go on Buzz next!
dsc08529m.jpg


WHERE DID AL GO?
dsc08534x.jpg


Once we recovered her, it was time to relax on the ol' WEDWAY!

dsc08538g.jpg


dsc08539z.jpg


So much love. We browsed the Merchant of Venus and found Perry!

dsc08543z.jpg


Twins.

Then it was time for SPACE! I rode in the front and we had a ball. I love it so much.

dsc08545o.jpg


Up next- more Magic Kingdom adventures and some Disney noms!

Continued in Next Post
 
TRAMIN' IT UP, LOVE THAT FEELING! Oh my god. I am so going to sing that on the tram. Gina is going to have her car when she joins us for #BirthdayFestivus13 so it will be the first time I'm on a tram since 2006!

Al left her autograph book by Cinderella, and when she went back, Cindy told her "No worries, I leave things all the time!" Glass slipper reference.
GAHHHHHHHHHH I love her.

Ariel said the same thing to me about getting me fins. KRISTEN THIS MEANS WE CAN ALL BE MERMAIDS TOGETHER.

I've heard Belle can't wear her ballroom dress because it's too big for her to get around all the tables easily!

I hope you do get to update again soon! I missed your posts.
 
Chapter 15- IMPENDING DOOM.

July 16th, 2012

After Space, we headed over into Storybook Circus, and did a loop on one of my favorite WDW experiences, the WDW Railroad!

dsc08546y.jpg


I seriously love it so much. The voice, the sounds the train makes, the relaxation...I want to be on it right now. It's perfect.

Toontown shed- re-themed!

dsc08547p.jpg


dsc08548s.jpg


Passing Frontierland and that runaway mine train.

dsc08555tu.jpg


Once we got back to Storybook Circus, we made our way over to Liberty Square.

dsc08559i.jpg


dsc08561rk.jpg


HAUNTED MANSION TIME! Woot woot. My FAVORITE ATTRACTION OF ALL TIME.

It's perfection.

We said hello to my happy haunt friends, and then I proceeded into Yankee Trader to buy a Haunted Mansion shirt. Like why did I not own one before!? Who knows. The good news is: I do now. Huzzah.

We decided that it was time for some grub, so what better place to go than the Columbia Harbour House?

dsc08565y.jpg


We got a nice window table upstairs!

dsc08567t.jpg


Al and I split the chicken nuggets with french fries, and we each got a frozen lemonade. Those definitely cooled us down.

dsc08566x.jpg


dsc08568mi.jpg


Hooray Disney food!

1361317343299.jpg


After we ate, we walked through the Emporium while the Street Party was going on, and headed out of MK. We took Monorail Sunshine to the TTC and took the tram back to the car. It was a very HOT afternoon walk back to the car, but we survived and drove back to the Boardwalk. Al and I pin traded at the Concierge desk and the gift shop and then headed up to the room. We cleaned up and caught up on our trip journals while the Units went to the pool. We changed and went to get the camera from the car because I had left it there. Then it was time to head down to the Boardwalk!

dsc08573l.jpg


dsc085742.jpg


Me gusta.

dsc08577j.jpg


We wandered around and noted that you have to be 18 or older to rent a surrey bike.

dsc08578j.jpg


dsc08581vs.jpg


Ah my love...
dsc08580k.jpg


There are CONSTANTLY weddings and such going on at the Boardwalk. We saw this party up by the lobby entrance having some fun:
dsc08583u.jpg


I was sporting some fabulous Muppet gear that evening:
dsc085862.jpg


img46622.jpg


The sky was getting really dark, and Al and I were lucky enough to catch the last Friendship boat to DHS before they were shutting down due to the IMPENDING DOOM:

img46602.jpg


Our boat:

Right!? WOO for the tram! I SO wish I could be at #BirthdayFestivus13.

She's adorable and a half.​

Ariel said the same thing to me about getting me fins. KRISTEN THIS MEANS WE CAN ALL BE MERMAIDS TOGETHER.

I've heard Belle can't wear her ballroom dress because it's too big for her to get around all the tables easily!

I hope you do get to update again soon! I missed your posts.

WE WILL BE SUCH AWESOME MERMAIDS ALL THE MERMEN BE FLOCKING TO US LIKE DISNEY DUCKS TO DISNEY FRIES.

Ah that makes sense. That was my other hypothesis but I like my first one better. PRINCESS ANGST.

Me too! I think I will. I'm in the middle of more right now!​
 
Chapter 16- The Torrential YOLO

July 16th, 2012

We enjoyed our nice boat ride to DHS and laughed about how drenched we were bound to get.

We arrived at DHS and saw another source of IMPENDING DOOM: TOUR GROUPS.

dsc08598zq.jpg


EW. GO AWAY.

We entered the park and I took this somewhat crappy picture:

before I had to put away the electronics to shield them from the rain. It started out slow, but we knew that wouldn't last, so we booked it to a place of refuge and solace: Muppet Vision 3-D.

The key!

Thank God they left it under the mat for us.

I was real excited to be back with my kindred.

dsc086062.jpg


I love that shirt! Allie got it for me two Christmases ago.

KERMIE REPPIN'.

We thoroughly enjoyed the show and then walked out under the roof and saw the TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR. It was hilarious. Everyone was soaked and running/sliding everywhere. I love these Disney downpours. They are just too funny.

Al and I decided to YOLO it (yes it's a verb) to the Muppet gift shop, where we had a HUGE redneck moment and asked for plastic bags to cover our heads. We then ran to the Writer's Stop, where we shared this massive heavenly cookie:
dsc08612d.jpg


It was SO GOOD OMG. I love those things. We ate the whole thing and YOLO'd all the way over to 50's Prime Time to meet the Units for our dinner ADR!

We were seated almost right away at the same TV table as the Port Report January trip with Jess and Vick! Woohoo!

Just a little wet...
dsc086162.jpg


We were brought menus and our waitress, Janice, made Al and I set the table.

dsc08619y.jpg


We ordered drinks and Timmy ordered an alcoholic beverage. Later on in the meal, when Janice realized how high maintenance Sharon, Al and I can be sometimes (Sharon did not want green beans but got them...Al didn't finish her meal, etc.) she made some comment like: "No wonder Dad needs a drink!" LOL.

I believe I got the smoothie and Al got the milkshake...

Al and I decided to share the onion rings, which were SO GOOD. 50's onion rings are the BEST.

dsc08629b.jpg


Al got chicken noodle soup and a caesar salad for her meal, which she liked but wasn't able to eat all of.

dsc08631bn.jpg


dsc08632zd.jpg


I helped. :P YUM I love their chicken noodle soup.

I ordered the pot roast for my meal. I had tried Mike's in May when he got the sampler and loved it, and it sounded really good tonight. It was so tender, well-seasoned and delish! And I loooove the mashed potatoes there.

dsc08633w.jpg


Sharon went with the classic fried chicken, which she really enjoyed!

dsc08635rr.jpg


Timmy went the meatloaf route, an excellent choice!

dsc08636i.jpg


We finished our meals and checked out the dessert menu.

dsc08637d.jpg


We decided to get Dad's Brownie Sundae to share. That thing is HUGE.

dsc08638ek.jpg


I was only able to eat a few bites. SO FULL.

Al and I noticed that the toaster behind us on a shelf had a LOT of dust accumulating underneath it, so we wrote them a kind note to point it out:
dsc08640ju.jpg


We're so funny.

We paid, thanked Janice and headed out. The sun was starting to attempt a comeback!

dsc08642p.jpg


This pic is for Theresa (arbolita):

Gertie! I love that she just hangs with the palm trees all day.

Up next- Some singing, dancing, and attempts at golfing!

Chapter 17- The One in Which They FAIL MISERABLY at Mini-Golf.

July 16th, 2012

We danced to the Disney Channel Rocks music all the way to our next destination.

dsc08650s.jpg


Did you know that they are getting rid of that and the Pixar Pals parade? True story. No news yet as to what the replacements will be.

We really wanted to see the American Idol finale show, so that's just where we headed!

dsc08649c.jpg


The contestants were pretty different. They sang "Best of Both Worlds," "Stay By Me," "Natural Woman," and then the last girl (who was only 15) sang "Reflection." I voted for her, but she didn't win. Ah well.

Allie's boyfriend, Ben, called her after the show and she chatted while we walked to Pixar Place.

imagebma.jpg


We were going to see about meeting Woody and Buzz, but the line was 70 minutes. Nooo way. Al chatted some more and we just hung around in Pixar Place for a few.

I think he was explaining some video game to her...
dsc08661y.jpg


Hence the confusion.

dsc08662m.jpg


DEER.

dsc08663v.jpg


TWINS!

She eventually said goodbye and we decided to go to Tower of Terror!

img4667ow.jpg


It looked more eerie than usual with all the clouds.

dsc08667g.jpg


We ended up waiting about 40 minutes, but we didn't really mind. We kept ourselves entertained.

There were all these misters around and the whole ambience was very excellent. Soon we were inside, and things weren't as much less damp as you'd assume.

img46862.jpg


LOVE.

We found this really weird balloon animal thing in the FP queue, so Al jumped over to grab it. It was very weird. The CM didn't know what to think of us.

img46692.jpg


SO FUNNY.

We texted our friend Ali to ask what ride pose we should do, as she usually comes up with really funny ones. She told us to hold our shoes up. Oookay??

dsc086772.jpg


BOOM. There ya go. We were confused.

After that we decided that tonight we be a good night to go miniature golfing at Fantasia Gardens, so we left the park and walked back to the Boardwalk. Then we drove over to Fantasia Gardens and only waited a few minutes. We pin traded with the cute CM there named Hunter.

We grabbed our clubs and started playing, and I think Al and I were just so tired and laughing at everything. We were HORRIBLE. On the 5th hole, you have to hit the ball up a steep ramp, where it goes around the circle and down to the hole on the other side. I kept hitting it too hard and it went rolling in some weird direction. At one point they all told me to just drop it, so I climbed up and let it fall.

And it went into a bush.

ASJAKFHJFS I GIVE UP.

I literally just went to the next hole.

At one point, Al's ball went in some water. It was all so hilarious.

Photo ops!

FART SHOES.

We finished our game (I got third! Al sucked worse than me! Woot.) and headed back to the Boardwalk. We went up to the villa, showered, and went to sleep. GOODNIGHT WORLD.

Up next- Water park hilarity and total embarrassment!

Stay tuned!

Isn't it? I love the menus.

Aw thanks girl! :) It would be such a dream come true.

Love her!

Ah me too!! EVERY TIME! It's so sad and beautiful all at the same time.

It was a necessary purchase.

Woo! I love it.

Love your updates! It's fun to be 5! ;) The wishing stars and wands.... ahhh so darn cute!

So funny but this photo makes it look like Ms. Snow is staring you down!

Glad to know that you survived the rains and looked great while doing so! There's never a bad photo of you might I add. ::yes::

By any chance did you get the Dis themed bows from Magical Bows? I didn't have time to get any before our last trip once I found it here on the DisBoards.

Have fun with your Spring Break.
 
Kristen, you just made me want to do Fantasia Gardens on my next trip. Excellent updates, my friend!
