Mummy, I'm SoOoOoOoO HOT!
THIS IS THE STORY.... OF HOW I DIED.
But, really...
As we reach this point of the TR, things begin to kick into high gear.
We've had our first character greeting. We've gotten a little sunburnt. We've spotted multiple family meltdowns. We were in SERIOUS Disney Business by now.
And boy, was I in for an UNPREDICTABLE rest of the day.
Once we were done with Mulan, We kept on walking...
and we're walking, and walking, and THEN I CAN"T GO ANY FURTHER.
Why, do you ask?
SNOW WHITE.
That's why.
there she is. in all her glory. and why am I so freaked out?
Because I want to be her very best friend.
I have spent the past 6+ months learning everything I can about her.
Watching countless youtube videos of how she moves and talks and interacts with guests. I was so hoping to be able to spend my summer with her, that at this point I couldn't even meet her.
I couldn't handle it.
I could hardly breathe!
I had to take some deep breaths and walk away.
For now at least.
At least until My audition was over.
So
for now, I just ambled over to her topiary and hung out with that for a while.
Basically the same thing, right?
I'm Wishing...
AS IF THAT WASN'T EMOTIONAL ENOUGH FOR ME:
We moved on ever further...
Unto my ALL TIME FAVORITEEEEEEE. I'm talking ALL TIME here people.
Oh yeah, now we're gettin' in deep.
Oh wow. Wow, oh Wow. They're so perfect. I can't even.
That took a lot out of me.
We had to stop for a cold drink.
Somewhere, along the way, If i remember correctly (may have been later, but either way) we came across what has come to be the title of this here Trip Report.
We were walking along, taking in the sights and sounds and smells of the pavilions, when suddenly, A tiny British boy catches my eye. He looks quite tired, and cranky, so I watch him a bit longer. He walks along with his mother when he abruptly stops.
"Mummy! I'm Sooo Hot"
to which his mother responds,highly irritated, yet highly composed, in THE MOST BRITISH OF ACCENTS:
"Charlie... EVERYBODY'S HOT"
Maybe it was just the heat, but I burst out laughing. The whole scene was like something out of a comedy sketch. The way she said it was so hilarious! It quickly became another household phrase. And one we used countless times throughout the rest of the trip.
---------------------------------
Our iced teas led us through America. And to some familiar friends...
The woman standing nearby mentioned to me that Lotso and I had matching colors on.
So I took this picture:
A for Anna
So Long, Partner
Also, Cars 2
The next thing I knew, I didn't know what was happening.
Since my first rememberable (word?) trip to Disney in 2002 I believe, I have, more than anything, wanted to meet Jasmine and Aladdin.
For some reason, fate has NEVER allowed that to happen.
Either the line has JUST closed, or they're JUST going inside, whatever it is, I can never seem to meet them.
And they're two of my FAVORITES!
So when I saw them out meeting with guests, I was in a full on sprint.
Typical Disney magic making me feel awkward and foolish led me to them JUST as the line was closing off.
Wah wahhh wahhh
BUT
Being the creepy Disney character obsesser that I am, I stood nearby and took photos of them with strange children.
Mom made fun of me, but I just like having my own pictures of characters!
Maybe that's your child.
They finished meeting with her, and I was just about ready to keep moving on when.....
They asked the next family to wait a moment and they stood up, waved to me, and in the most adorably wonderful manner, Turned and posed for a picture!!
As you can see, i was in a full shake at this point, so the photo is a bit blurry.
I felt so special and loved. Truly a memorable moment for me.
It's things like that, that can make someone's day all that much more magical, that make me want to work in entertainment in Disney
Similarly, in France, Belle and the Beast were headed inside as well
While, not as pleasant as Jas and Al had been, Belle politely posed for someone who asked her to. Although, she didn't seem quite happy about it.
But it got me this photo!
They headed in, and we headed to the flower versions of the two.
Princess Pose...
I was getting POOPED! (a phrase which I would come to regret later on)
I figured my magical encounters were all used up for the day, But little did I know, Disney was about to show me how much Magic it really had.
