VIP Princess Treatment
After the parade all three of us just wanted some splash mountain action. But first we had to find Joe’s family. While we went to see the parade they decided to ride the train around the park. It took them longer then they thought because they didn’t realize that they stopped the train in order for the floats for the parade to pass by.
When the group got back together it was time to figure out how many fastpasses we still had and what they wanted to get done soon. Brittany, Joe and I had fastpasses starting at 6 for Hollywood studios so we had about 2 hours to get things done in the kingdom. While we waited for a decision to be made, Brittany and Cade watched the splash logs float by.
The jury had spoken and the verdict to listen to some ridiculous puns, off to the Jungle Cruise.
Although we were in the fastpass line, we still had to wait for a few “botes” and while we waited we all fought over the AC vents above head. That’s when I became very thankful for all our re-ads and not having to worry about hot stand by lines.
Our bote docked and we were soon off on our wild adventure.
This trip around the jungle wasn’t the most memorable of the trips I have taken but I will always enjoy the good puns that are thrown at us, even if a skipper isn’t totally great and just getting through the memorized lines.
Who’s seen the jungle book? There it is
Brittany is a HUGE fan of the jungle cruise, like many being a skipper is one of her dream disney roles. The amount I love the puns, her love is ten times more. Who would have thought the back side of water could bring so much joy?!
But one of my favorites of this ride has to be the elephant bathing.
You can take pictures because they remembered to put their trunks on!
As our cruise adventure came to an end we visited one last person, trader sam. And this week only, Sam’s offering a two-for-one special: two of his, for one of yours! No matter which way you slice it, you always come out a head.
After getting out of the jungle and not taking trader sams offer we were off to neverland. Getting there took longer than anticipated, we passed though the walkway/bathroom area connecting adventureland and frontierland but when we turned back Joe’s family was no where to be found. Joe headed back in the direction we came from and I found a nice seat on the ground of the golden horseshoe.
I could be sitting around waiting for random people I hardly know or running around with my best friend, but no matter what if I’m in the kingdom I will be the happiest I can ever be
Joe can back with his family trailing behind, turns out they just found themselves wanting to browse the shops that we passed. With everyone now accounted for we were finally off to fantasyland. When we were boarding into our pirate ship the CM made the 3 of us go in one ship. I was totally fine going alone but the CM was trying to be “efficient” and I couldn’t argue with trying to use the four keys while on duty.
After Peter Pan’s Flight they stopped to get a snack at friars nook, mac and cheese and blue slushies for everyone! Except me I opted out for that.
It was getting closer to 5 oclock, which meant Brittany and I would be breaking away from the group for a little bit. Tonight I was able to work out a special meet and greet with the fairest one of all up in the castle. A little before 5 we headed to the castle where I had to tell the CM at the podium “captain Rafi was expecting me” With a few calls on the headset we were welcomed into the castle. When we first walked in the photopass CM stopped us before we headed up. He gave us a big spiel on how Cinderella had to leave for a little bit so we were welcome to go upstairs and eat and come down later for a photo. To bad none of that was on the agenda for tonight.
This was Brittany’s first time up in the castle and I was super excited that I was able to work this out. When we got upstairs to the restaurant we told the CM we were there to see Rafi and were old to take a seat. From what Alicia told me Rafi was one of the best captains and loved working with him. He came over to talk to us and asked who we were there to see, after saying Snow White he told us to sit and wait.
The friend of snow white who made this all happened told me to come at 5 because that was when the princesses were finishing up there rounds around each table. While we waited the wishing ceremony took place, where I was lucky enough to get another wishing star and wand for free!
The time came and Snow White made her way over. The hug I got from her was like a big warm welcome home. She came into my life half way into my DCP and she is one of the sweetest people I know. First thing before pictures were gifts! I was the middle person, Alicia sent home some goodies from Japan for her. This lead to a conversation about how much we miss Alish and upcoming trips to Japan! Snow White shared in on my excitement about a Japan adventure.
This was Brittany’s first time meeting Snow and I knew she would just love her
While we were hanging out and chatting, Ariel swam by. Of course Eric would have to get her a magic mirror for Christmas so she could take shelfies.
Snow White soon had to go bake some gooseberry pies but told us to wait around if we wanted to meet any other princesses. We decided it wouldn’t be the same to meet Jasmine without Alicia being there so we passed up the offer and left the castle for the night.
