Holy smokes! Im here!!! HERE I AM, ON T HE DIS!!! Even though weve been keeping in touch, I must admit I havent read ANYTHING on the DIS since March too depressed that my May trip fell through. BUT WHO CARES, cause were going in October and everything is beautiful and nothing hurts now!!! Anyway, prepare for the Longest Comment EVAR! So big that I spelled ever with an A, so you would really get just how long it is going to be. Please dont feel obligated to reply to every little thing I say, most of it will probably be drivel anyway. Ok, here we go.

I hate when you can see your bus is there but you know that you are just not going to catch unless you run like a MADWOMAN in the Florida heat, screaming at strangers to hold the bus for you.
LOL omg those kissing teenage weirdos. That is super creepy. I would have been seriously side-eyeing them (which Im sure you were).
Its so weird that you ended up on t he GF bus, took all these pics at the GF, and that I am reading t his post now, because for the past week or so I have been craving the GF like crazy, more than any other area of Disney! AND OMG!! BASIN!!!!!!! How I miss you so! I actually ordered some soap from their website not too long ago b/c I needed a little Disney pick me up. I may or may not have cried when the package arrived.
Whoa, I totally forgot that you told me youre staying at CSR this time. Thats awesome, Ive wanted to stay there for awhile. It seems to have the most chill, relaxed atmosphere of all the Moderates.
Update #2 from 3/28
Im not a pool person on vacation either, ESPECIALLY at Disney. Why would I want to swim in a pool, something I can do at home (not literally, since we dont have a pool BUT I MEAN pools are everywhere, Disney is not) when Im at DISNEY WORLD. Hello. I still enjoy it from time to time (as shown in Day 1 of my TR where I was flipping off of various surfaces into the CBR pool) Also, the crowded thing is the worst. Like, I know theres chlorine and everything but there are just sooo many sweaty, park-going bodies all up on me right now, and none of them are boy band members, so no thanks!! Thats why, if I DO swim at the resort, its usually at night.
OHANA!!!! Ohmygodiwantpotstickersrightnowomg! Sooo excited to FINALLY, at long, LONG last eat at Ohana this fall! I cant wait for my first lapu lapu either! The food looks insanely good .like *drops dead*
OK Ive resurrected. Thank you for the shout out! Food Drunkenness Awareness needs to be spread so that people dont drive whilst fooddrunk and end up in prison because the food at Disney is just THAT good. Not that it wouldnt be worth it Id TOTALLY spend a night in the can if I could have a meal at Disney right now. No prob. But what Im saying is this: Better safe than sorry.
I love that you spent 2 hours there. I feel like my mom and I were at Boma for four days. We just kept eating. It just wouldnt end. Hence the Food Drunkenness!
I love that pic of you and your sister your outfits are so cute and you look so happy!
Stacy is the BEST thing to watch ever while food drunk. I know from experience, but I think you probably could guess that.
Update #3 from 4/3
Oh man do I know the randomly bursting into tears thing well. During my last day at Disney last trip, I generated enough tears to open a new Ocean for business. It also happens on my first day, though, mostly out of utter shock that I even get to be there and have THAT amazing a time. But when I am on my way home, oh my god youd think my entire family died.
Hmm. Thats very UNDisneyish for them to not tell you guys what was going on and also not give you guys like 10 fastpasses each. Sheesh, Disney, what are you UNIVERSAL??????? I shudder to think!
Is it bad that I wanna dress like Bert from Mary Poppins? I just like freaking people out, I guess.
As a child I was fascinated by Huffalumps and Woozles and I used to sing that SLY SLY SLY part soo loud hahaha.
Every time I see a family wearing green Im like OMG, MY PEOPLE ARE HERE!! But I never go up to them caaaaause Im awkward.
I seriously dont know how you do it in July with those crowds + heat, Im too spoiled by the ghost town that Disney can be at the right times in April/October. Then again, its WDW, so Im pretty sure I would be gleefully skipping around under any circumstances, but ahhh! Sweaty bodies!! Long lines!!! BEGONE!!
LOL There doesnt seem to be any track. No, no there doesnt. and there is no lap bar/seatbelt. How EXACTLY have millions of people not died on Splash? Seriously.
You totally look like the You May Get Wet sign in that pic LOL. But in a fierce way, tbh.
Update #4 from 4/10
I know weve talked about our mutual Small World love before but I would just like to state again IASW rocks!!! Always loved it, always will, not annoyed by the song, etc!
I take pics of all the trash cans too. Its hard not to stroke them and say, oooh, pretty! but I (usually) refrain.
OMG what an awesome princess sticker! Want! And I love that you had to share it with your sister just like when Michelle shares hers. I think we all learned a valuable lesson from that episode, dont you think?
Update #5 from 4/17
Hahaha totally not surprised that the screeching halt noise makes you nostalgic! The smell of Disneys BATHROOMS makes me nostalgic. Seriously, I was at Whole Foods not too long ago and I think they may have briefly used the same cleaning product Disney uses in there because I was practically in tears. Ive been back since, though, and its not the same smell, so I probably just conjured it up in my crazy, Disney World-starved mind.
I love how Disney is so peaceful and fab that you chose not to taunt the other schools team. When I was kid, I got in huge trouble because my friends and I were throwing popcorn at Dallas Cowboys fans LOL. I probably wouldnt do that at Disney, though. Most likely. I think.
What a cute convo with Alice!! I love when they say things like that and its not just a usual hi, nice to meet you, picture, bye! thing.
PUT THAT THING BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM OR SO HELP MEEEEEEEE (BUM BUM BUM BUM)!! I also break into that quite often.
Update #6 4/25
I used to call it Yew Nork when I was little! Every time we'd go there, or see the skyline from Jersey, I would SCREAM it. I didn't even know about that Sonny Eclipse song. I love when I learn WDW things I didn't know about before.
It is *SO WEIRD* that you brought up being proposed to on Space Mountain b/c yesterday I was at Six Flags and my friend said it would be cool to propose to a girl right before you take off on Kingda Ka (this is Kingda Ka). And I was like FIRST OF ALL, no. You're already insanely overwhelmed since you're about to be shot into the air like a lunatic on the tallest, fastest rollercoaster ever... secondly, if I had a boyfriend who decided to propose to me on a rollercoaster and it WASN'T Space Mountain, I would be horrified and break up with him. True story.
Oh wow, you got a really cute Aladdin, didn't you? I agree Aladdin is way hotter than Eric. Eric is super hot but he's just kind of a regular prince. Aladdin has character (no pun intended) and street smarts and is QUITE agile and had do go through a bunch of crap before he became a prince. Plus, he has Abu. Eric's dog is cute and all but Abu is a snotty, fierce HBIC which is automatically better.
Latest update!!! 6/2
I LOVE THE WORD DISEMBARK too. I say it all the time cause of WDW, and you'd be surprised how many people don't even know what it means. MAJOR EYE ROLL AT THOSE PEOPLE.
That picture of your sister jumping is so awesome!
I always think about how incredible it is that you can have so many varying, isolated experiences in one place too. And you're right about the whole what does "the real thing" even mean. What's real to you is real in your own world. Everyone has their own reality, and it doesn't mean your crazy, it's just your own little way of seeing the world. When I look at something, you can look at the same thing and see it completely differently, and that doesn't mean that one of us is wrong and the other is right. Before I get too rambly, I have to say that I am very much a realist in my life. But at Disney World, I AM in Africa. I do go to space. I do see 999 ghosts.. I do enjoy a polynesian getaway. Just because I'm not in Hawaii, doesn't mean it's not real. It IS real!
I don't think I've ever seen that Tomorrowland Towers poster before! They should totally do a Tomorrowland themed, ultra-futuristic hotel. That would be awesome!
hahahahaha omg the "I don't know where I'm supposed to look!" picture is priceless.
WOW WHY HAVE I NEVER SEEN THE STITCH AND PLUTO TOMORROWLAND DANCE PARTY. I CAN'T EVEN...... I WOULD DIE. Dancing in public is something I find pretty necessary in almost all situations, so the thought of doing it with Stitch at Disney World makes me shake with excitement.
WHEW. Done! Can't wait for the next update...and I am never going to disappear again... I think.
