I'm so curious to know what it is that you guys got that made you change park plans! When my husband and I have a more permanent place, we'll definitely get a few more souvenirs to display to have more Disney when at home!
I'm super excited for your video! For some reason though, nothing plays when I click the YouTube link, and the Vimeo on my phone doesn't work either. I'll try again later!
[edited the next morning]
YAY! I was able to watch the video! I love those clips at the end! My favorite thing is watching it now and then again after the TR is done to understand more of what was going on
I really enjoyed your video! Those moments with you two and Julia and Brynn are adorable!!! I also loved the bonus clips at the end! It is like bloopers
I am loving all of your updates! I can't wait to read some more
All caught up !!! LOVED the video !! You remind me of one of one my very best friends. She is really funny like you and is always making funny faces.
Susan
I've already tweeted you about it, but WOW on the video!! Great job once again! You really have a great eye. Your videos aren't just fun and Disneyish, they're quite artful. I really enjoy them!! You rock!!
LOL I wonder what that Cast Members-only story was! And I love that she went to MNSSHP as Russell from Up. That's awesome. I love when people gender switch with costumes.
The only thing funnier than the Poop Wagon is the face you are making in the ride photo. HAHAHA you are the queen of the awesome ride faces.
LMAO somehow I am not surprised that I am not the only person who has posed next to the "we're not showing the movie" sign at Maelstrom with an upset look on my face. It's just a devastating moment when you see that sign. I empathize with you, Matt.
I know what this special item is and I am very happy for you that you scored one!! WOooo!
Oh man, that Villains event. I heard such bad things. Jess told me she waited in line 3 hours to meet Oogie Boogie and 2 hours for a T-shirt, but the worst was all the people saying they were stuck in traffic on property for 2-3 hours. CRAZINESS! I would have been devastated if I was on my way to a park/reservation or something and I got stuck in traffic for 3 hours. I hope that didn't happen to you!
Love your video!!! Totally magical!
Let me just tell you again how awesome the video is....STINKING AMAZING. I love the cameo appearances from Jenn & family. Julia laughing at Matt during dinner is just adorable. Plus, riding IASW with them?! So awesome.
Poop Wagon, niiiiccceee.
Totally agree on Soarin over the US. Washington mountains, NC beaches, the Grand Canyon, NYC...it would be awesome.
I would kill for mexican food and Maelstrom today! Also, I am very immature and every time I see two school breads in a container like that I think they look like boo-bies. (I got censored when trying to type that the first time)
SURVEY MARKER CLUB REPRESENT
EWP and Wilderness Lodge = perfection.
I can't wait to hear more about that special purchase.
I'm so pumped to watch your trip video! Unfortunately, I'm in class right now and I don't think my non-Disney obsessed classmates will appreciate that so it'll have to wait for later...
I literally hate having to shove my stuff under the seats on Soarin because the baskets are always filled with people's leftover junk. A lot of times it is food crap, too Oh well- good thing you had an awesome water proof bag!
Bahahahaha- Matt's face on test track! He literally had no clue, but I love it!
The Mexican food looks yummy, especially the churros!
Is it sad that I've never had School Bread? Everyone raves about it so I feel like a small part of my life is missing. Next trip, I swear!
Fountain of Nations pictures are literally my favorite. It's just so majestic and perfect with the ball in the background- especially at night with all the colors!
Loving the water parade! I've never seen it but am planning on that for one of our next trips.
Lovin' in the lodge pictures, as usual. I agree- that place has got to be fantastic at Christmas time! I'll bet it feels so homey that I'd check in and wouldn't want to check out.
Cannot wait to know what you're buying that's got you switching up your plans. I know I don't change my well laid plans easily so I'm interested to hear what's so special!
OMG Dani!!!! I LOVE your video. It just makes me so happy to watch you and Matt having such a great time in the Happiest Place on Earth. Thank you so much for putting it together and letting us all enjoy it.
Great update. Really interested in what the special item was that you need to get first thing. Especially since it meant changing your plans around to get to it.
I have never had School Bread so I am going to have to try it this time.
Love the Test Track ride face. LOL!!! You always have the best faces.
Love this!! Can you take a pic of your bow? My DD 14 loves bows and we are surprising her with a WDW trip in Jan so that might be a great Christmas present!!
OMG your video is the BEST (though I am not at all surprised)!! You guys are the cutest, thank you for sharing your memories with us!
Loved your video! You guys always look like you have the best time
Since my work computer is acting up, I wasn't able to get the full effect of your amazing video since it kept stuttering on this computer. But what I did see was just AMAZING!! You 2 really are the perfect Disney couple and I can't wait to watch it in all it's glory once I get home.
Aw gee, I really really really want to know what that CM's story was going to be.
Haha, of course you must remove your dangly footwear lest they fall into the ocean, or a mountain, or orange groves, or Disneyland!!!
I do think someday there will be a new film for Soarin'. Someday.
Ooh, I like that little two-pack (not to be confused with 2Pac) for the School Bread. I could do a one for now... one for later.
The Electrical Water Pageant sure is pretty. And to think it's been there almost as long as Disney World itself. Amazing.
Hmmm, I think I know what your amazing purchase is. But lordy the Villains LTM. I've heard stories, but I can't wait to hear yours.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. You and Matt look like you are truly best friends and it looks like you had a great time. Now of course after seeing the video I can't wait to go back. ;-)
OK so I already commented on the update, but now I've finally seen the video so I had to comment again.
Good God that was fabulous!!!! You guys just do Disney right and the laughter and magic you find with each other and others, well, that's just what everyone should be shooting for. Wonderful job Dani.
And I have to add the "Beverly" clip at the end just had me laughing so hard. Generally it's the initial reaction that's the money shot. Not here. It's the fact that you reacted appropriately, called it "so gross"...
... and then took another sip.
Matt's, "Why are you drinking it more then?" just put me over the edge.
Don't EVER change!
Great trip report so far. I love all the nice pictures you have taken. Have you baked School Bread at home?
oh man, i LOVE your video! LOVE IT!
the clip with you on the teacups and the beverly...hilarious
At the risk of sounding like a total goob, I want to do Disney with both you and Matt! Seriously, you guys are so much fun! I loved the video! Even though I know they weren't on your trip, I was looking for Bruce and Amy! Julia, Brynn, and Sawyer were so cute!
Speaking of trip videos...I teach, and this morning I was taking roll during the school morning show. All of a sudden, "On Top of the World" came on and I was looking for your January trip video!
No more school bread pictures, please! I have a serious craving for school bread right now! 18 days. 18 days. 18 days.
Great video! It really captured the magic of your trip. Matt's tattoo is TOTALLY AWESOME btw!
I'm officially peeking out of lurkerdom/creeperland/stalkerville to tell you that I love your trip reports!! This video, like the last one, was ah-mah-zing. You seriously choose the best songs ever. Looking forward to seeing (and possibly posting?! ) more.
Awesome video!
Hi Dani,
I loved your video - it brought some great joy on a day when I really needed it!
You and Matt are too cute.
Well, I hope I have made it abundantly clear how much I love your video! My kids have been watching it on repeat tonight. They're very impressed (and it doesn't hurt that they're in it).
Matt's creeped out by the shoes off thing, but my kids think it's spectacular! Brynn was upset she couldn't take off her shoes this time due to her leg braces. Apparently that's part of the experience??
I hate that the Crocs were messing with your feet. I only wear the sandals kind, but those are the only shoes I have ever worn at Disney and I've never gotten any kind of blister or sore spot. I wonder if it's the style of shoe or the differences in people's feet? Such questions obviously matter.
I just realized I never made it into Kringla this trip. FAIL!
I can't wait to read about the next day!
OMG, your videos are always the best!
It's cool that people always think DISers are CMs because I think that can only mean that most CMs really love Disney, which is a nice feeling to have!
Haha, that car is... awful! I mean that lovingly of course. Actually, can I even call it a car? Thing on wheels? Haha.
I've never thought about bare feet on Soarin', but I totally agree, way weirder! I actually got to fly over Mt Rainier, so I'd have to agree. Yay for the free bag! All my boss ever gives me is more work... j/k, she actually cooked me and DH dinner last month.
Ooh, I had the empanadas too one night and was actually quite impressed. I could go for some right now.
Maelstrom movie wasn't running for us either, good for you guys for ever staying to watch it.
My biggest trip regret: no school bread. ugh. I skipped by you talking about it, haha.
I had the same spaceship earth head issue as you did... not sure about Matt though! I also love SE, fun and educational.
Nice pics of the EWP.
Yes! WL at Christmas would be my dream!
I'm looking forward to seeing what you buy
Awesome video!
Love all your trip reports and video's. Hope to visit Walt Disney World someday. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you guys, and always putting a smile on my face (or laughing so hard I cry). Have a blast in Disneyland!
Loved the video! I know this is only my first trip report to follow but it's the best.
Dani, The video is really great. I have to ask. How much time do you think you spent editing it?
I really want to try school bread but I despise coconut. Maybe I can eat it from the bottom, I just want to try it because everyone raves about it. However if I eat coconut I make the same face you make drinking Beverley....which seriously why did you drink more? You felt obligated to finish what you took didn't you?
All your pics are kinda making things worse for me as I have four more days left till I get to belly up at the Gurgling Suitcase!!!
DW and I have started to get our legs in Disney shape. It's a good idea to try and get some miles in before trying to do the marathon that is a Disney Vacay, especially when you love Epcot and F&W
Hello, just joining in to say I loved your video. Looks like you had a great time!
Well I've caught part of your video twice now but I was trying to make breakfast at the same time, bad idea. My kids watched the whole thing twice though! I was reading from a past trip report just before this one and you had just made an ugly car and then bought skool bread, dejavu moment. I'm very much enjoying your trip and your last even if I am getting them jumbled in my brain.
I just finished you January 2013 trip report in 2 days ! I loved it and couldn't put it down . What a wonderful trip you guys had . I would love to stay at the bcv but can't persuade anyone in our party to stay though ... Womb womp as you would say , hope that was the correct use. I have hopped right over to your Sept trip report and am caught up on that too, can't wait it hear more
I love love love your video!! Makes me even more excited for our upcoming trip. You guys always have so much fun and I love following along on all your TR's!
Dani you need to do ads for Disney. Enough said. You capture so many simple moments in WDW that are just beautiful. Though I think my favorite part was the Dumbo clip where Matt just goes "wheeee" in the most unenthusiastic voice Your music choices were just perfect as well!
I just had a chance to watch your video and it is ah-ma-zing!! Seriously. If I wasn't already too excited to go on my trip, that video just pushed me over the edge!! AHHH... still 7 months to go!!
I will try it and hold you and Dani personally responsible if I make her Beverley face
Wonderful, Fabulous Video! I am in awe of how great you put everything together. You two look like you have so much fun when you are there. Can't wait to read more about your trip.
staying two nights at WLV next month, so excited. Did you see the only 3D hidden Mickey when you were there? Hint, it is in the lobby of the villas....
Mmm the treats from Norway look delish! I'm holding off on watching the video until my DD is awake to watch. She loved the last one!
I just got all caught up on your updates from while we were gone. I have to say, another fabulous job on your video! I love watching your videos, you can totally see how happy and excited you are to be in Disney World.
Still have never tried School Bread. The love for it on these boards though... It is popping up in TR's everywhere! I don't think I had even heard of it before I started reading TR's. I'm glad they were just as amazing as you had hoped.
The no dancing pin is really cool
Ok, first, especially when I'm at Disney--you know, the HAPPIEST place on earth--I try to cut people some slack if they're having a bad moment, but that chick at Starbucks needed a talking to! Who does that? Get your tushie to the back of the line and wait for your turn! Oh that's super annoying! Good for you for holding your tongue! I find that the older I get the more likely I am to say stuff and sometimes it's better to just let things go.
I'm so impressed with your ninja skills! Way to sneak through that crowd! We're one of those families with a double stroller (and parent gawking at everything and totally not paying attention) getting in your way--sorry bout that!
I'm not a bag person either--I stick my license, credit card and keys in my pocket and am good to go--but that haunted mansion bag is totally cute!! I'm in love with the black Vera Bradley one that came out not too long ago.
I can't wait to see the grand Floridian for the first time when we go for dinner there. I so want to go into basin white too!
Hi, Dani! I am really enjoying your TR! Just a quick comment about rude lady at Starbucks. Other than her attitude needing adjusting, I was just there on Sunday and they were ordering people who were not getting a pastry/baked good/etc. to skip forward to order their drinks. It really seemed to help curb the line backup. Can't wait to hear more!!
MEGA ANNOUNCEMENT ALERT!!!
After many, many hours of working on editing clips, figuring out song choices, uploading files from my camera and phone, etc... I am proud to announce that our September trip video is COMPLETE AND DONE!
I am REALLY happy with how it turned out and am SUPER excited to share it with you guys! It's totally cool if some of you want to wait on watching it, but for those who don't, here it is, in all its glory!
So without further ado, I proudly present:
"When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do." Disney World September 2013

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your videos! (Did I mention I love it?!?) Your style of video is my inspiration for trip videos! My family loves them. Of course, I made the mistake last time of trying to do it in parts. I think I'll try a single video when we go at Thanksgiving! Great job!
What songs did you use -- I'm falling behind on the music front!
Great job! Enjoying the TR too!
I have to admit, I was surprised you commented since you just got back from your trip! You are one dedicated lady!! I loved seeing all of your photos of your trip though on IG, and I can't WAIT for you to write a TR!! It looked like you guys had a wonderful trip!
Next, we head off to DTD to finally meet one of our favorite families in the world!
