I can't believe how many minions you have!! Too funny! I'm so craving a grilled cheese now after reading your review!! That HHN looks like a lot of fun, I hope to do that one day! Can't wait to hear about your next party!
Yes ma'am, I have quite a collection going . I also received a couple of new Minion items for my birthday, including a very awesome pair of hand-knitted Minion mittens. Poor Jake thinks I've lost my mind....and he might be right!
Now I need to know how all of those minions got home
Love the quick run-thru of Universal! And the connecting train!
Ah, the mission to get those Minions back to Canada wasn't without its challenges. More on that coming up soon .
Just catching up. I love your tie-dye minion! Could you not have each carried a minion onto the plane with you? And stuff the others in the suitcases? I've seen lots of kiddos doing this plus their carry-on so why not for us big kids? Or was it just minion overload on the plane? Eek.
Have you watched the DIS Unplugged The Trip? With all the great off park restaurants you have been to, bet Teresa and JL would love to hear about your experiences. Plus, they are always reviewing spots so no doubt they would spark a new taste frenzy for you. Loving your posts!
The problem with the Minions is that while they are excessively LIGHT....they weigh virtually nothing.....they aren't squishy. You can't squash 'em down at all, so if they went in the suitcases, there was no way to compact them down like regular plush toys. I don't know what they are stuffed with, but its a very, very dense material. If we had carried them on the plane, they would have taken up either the whole space between us and the seats in front of us (if we kept them on our laps) or a huge amount of space in the over head bins. We each had a carry on, plus I had my purse and Steve had the laptop/electronics bag (which would count as our "personal items") so we decided not to push it. I don't know how flexible the Jetblue in-flight crew would have been.....they might have been fine with it, but you never know.
I am a faithful viewer of The Trip and watch it every single Wednesday without fail!! (I adore Teresa....she's fantastic) Its very cool to watch their episodes and be able to say "HEY! I've been there!!" or to get ideas for new places to try. Pirates Cove, the Orlando Eye, The Titanic, the Skeletons Musuem...they've reviewed several attractions that we've done on previous trips. After watching the Shake Shack episode a couple of weeks ago, we might give that one a try in December .
It's not a minion miss, it's my travel pillow...
I like my pillows a little less firm, but a good idea nonetheless!
Glad you enjoyed first watch.
We know you got the minions home because you've shown us the proof. Bet that was fun packing. We always but too much then have the stress of packing and what to leave behind.
What's departure day without a little packing drama? It keeps things interesting.....or that's what we keep telling ourselves.....
