Wow a Friday update, how lucky are we!?!? That was a nice relaxed update. I really enjoy the One Man's Dream exhibit. The kids get a little bored, but I could stay in there for hours reading about Walt and his dream. I must have some norwegian roots or something. I have fallen in love with Norway. I agree that the ride is a little frumpulicious, but I just think the Norwegian story is neat. I also love, and always buy, Geir Ness cologne. This Christmas Geir himself was there signing bottles of his cologne. I have got to try that ice cream next time. I always forget
i absolutely love your trip report so far! your excitement for disney reminds me of myself and your mom is so cute! cant wait to read more! also congrats on doing what you love and not just settling! good luck with school! now that i started reading this one, im gonna go back and read the rest of your reports because they are that good
-What a nice picture of you and your mom!
-How funny is that! My mom wanted her picture in front of a plant too...well, actually it was two different plants
-Did you see The Muppets movie? I thought it was really cute! I finally bought Man Or Muppet and Life's A Happy Song last night for my iphone!
-I went into One Man's Dream for the first time on my last trip and I love it! It's so neat to see the classic stuff from Walt Disney!
-I also love that man
-Hah! DEER FACE
-Me and my mom took so many pictures like that together!
-Funny story about parking. In 2004 me, my mom and step-dad, my younger brother, and my grandparents all were at Animal Kingdom. We had just finished eating dinner at Rainforest Cafe and my grandpa went to get the car. 20 minutes later, we saw him riding on one of the trams, with no one else on it but him, and he was like "Hey guys, I can't find the car, wanna help me?" Lol! It was really funny!
-Awww! I really want a picture with Sombrero Donald! I looked for him last time, but I never found him
-Wow! The water is really choppy! I LOVE storms though, so I would love to have been there!
-I LOVE Maelstrom! It's not my favorite ride (Splash Mountain is), but I do like to ride it! I also don't get why it's there though...it just doesn't make sense!
-Hah! Love your friends
-That is super crazy how similar you guys look!
-I haven't had the strawberry red bean ice cream, but I love red bean ice cream, so I will probably love it! I kinda prefer the green tea ice cream, but I might have to try it!
YAY! An update... this is just so monumental for me after so many months of not being on the DIS lol
welcome back!
Sorry to hear you seemed to be turned away by all these places you wanted to try. I hate when that happens in Disney World. You want to go on a ride and it's broken down; you want to see a show and it's closed and the list just goes on and on. Not fun at all, but us DISers know how to maneuver around it.
haha yeah, since we didnt have a set plan it didn't bother us too much!
Love the picture of you and your mom in front of the Animation Courtyard sign. Big to One Man's Dream, still need to go in there. Walt is my hero and yet I haven't gone in there (I blame my non-Disney crazy friends ), maybe next time (whenever that may be )
thanks you! Lol next time you'll have to make a point of seeing that!
Can't believe the lady on the tram. Swearing in Disney World?! Please lady save that for Universal (*giggles*) or some place else at least (since Universal really isn't the place to do it either). Though I think swearing because you can't find a parking space... pretty pathetic. People these days
hahaha swearing is such a "real life" thing. NOT IN DISNEY!
to Test Track FPs and the Donald photo! He is just awesome (like every other Disney-related thing lol) LOL @ your little shpiel about Maelstrom (since I know what you're talking about). It really is fun to make fun of that ride And way to tell Lia about you being in Disney and not me. Seriously, I shouldn't talk to you after this uh-uh... jk lol
lol oh the Maelstrom. What a ride. And LOL I didn't even tell Kristen! she's the one who shouldn't be speaking to me lol. Too bad we just never stop talking haha
YAY China! I love the little gift shop they have there, they just have too much stuff to play with there, especially the puppets. Good times, good times... And I really think you should dress like that puppet for halloween or something, because you'd have a sick costume if you did
me too! Hahaha those puppets are wonderful. That would definitely be an interesting idea lol
Ooooo... Strawberry Red Bean Ice Cream... I'm seriously prepared to just run all the way to Disney World at this point because of you, Kristen's, Kara's... okay basically all you frumps descriptions of Disney food. Seriously my mouth is watering right now. I'm definitely keeping that on my list for a snack when I'm next in EPCOT (whenever that may be )
hahaha we are all just kind of insane about our Disney food. IT'S SO GOOD! Definitely put it on your list!
Way for me to end on a bad note right... okay, well as always can't wait to read more (hope you and Lia get to meet up!)!
haha you will have to wait and see!
They made a STD just for you, Jess!
(And this time I figured out how to make the image IN the post! Yay me!)
Loving the updates! It looks like your mom was really enjoying her birthday!
That ice cream looks fantastic. I have put it on my "To Do" list for my next trip.
The red velvet cupcake looks so good! As does the school bread from or way in Epcot that you rave about here is the point where my hopes are dashed, do they have nuts in the, of any kind? Peanuts... Almonds etc..... They probably do
So sweet that your mama wanted a picture of her with the plant. Hey, it's a neat looking plant!
I absolutely love the pictures of you and those puppets. Those are precious and priceless!
Why have I never tried this red bean ice cream before!? It's going on the must-do list FA SHO!
I haven't had one of the red velvet cupcakes OR that ice cream before! Going on the must do list for sure!
Woooo hooo, thanks for the shoutout!! Yes, everyone, my trip report is amazing, READ IT!!!
you're welcome! Yes everyone, READ IT!!
Your pictures never fail to be awesome!! Especially the one of you looking into the distance with Walt and you and the puppet making DEER FACES!!
hahaha thank you I have a lot of fun taking frumpy pictures.
That ice cream looks SO GOOD! I didn't realize you could get it at Lotus Blossom.. I thought it was only available at Nine Dragons! Now that I know I can get that without having to make an ADR, I will probably be eating a ton of it. What does it taste like?
yes, it's true! I figured that out last January and I basically freaked out. And hmmm it tastes like strawberry ice cream but its different. I don't know what the word to describe it is but it's SO delicious. Ahh I love it. You need to try it next time!
I have a feeling a very awesome person will be making a cameo in your next update
hmmm perhaps that may be happening!
I'm so glad you took a food picture of an orange.
Hahah that tree looks like a bunch of little shamrocks. HOW FITTING FOR THE GRAND OLE MONTH O' MARCH.
One Man's Dream. What a beautiful exhibit.
YOU KNOW I KNOW ABOUT THE JANICE "OH. MY. GOD." Hahaha nothin like a good old Friends reference in a Disney trip report (that ISN'T MINE) to brighten my mood.
MEXICAN DONALD! What a beautiful duck, wearing such an authentic sombrero!
Hahaha I love your puppet picture. Just take the word 'haha' out of this smiley. I wanted to imitate it. Yeah I'm cool.
Hahaha oh Janice. I'm glad you caught the reference. I was watching an episode last night where she like invited herself to the wedding so Monica had to tell her that Chandler still had feelings for her so she couldn't come So funny. that woman is a frump.
hahaha swearing is such a "real life" thing. NOT IN DISNEY!
lol oh the Maelstrom. What a ride. And LOL I didn't even tell Kristen! she's the one who shouldn't be speaking to me lol. Too bad we just never stop talking haha
hahaha we are all just kind of insane about our Disney food. IT'S SO GOOD! Definitely put it on your list!
Hahahah no way!!!!! I seriously watched that episode like three days ago. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES??? And yes, I will ALWAYS get the Friends quotes!
TRUTH! I'm pretty sure Disney should have a diagram or something like this:
Disney > Reality
Simple
I'm just joking. I'm just amazed you kept a secret from her. If I was going on a surprise Disney trip. I'd be telling everyone. I'd probably go on some talk show or Good Morning America or something yelling about how I'm going to Disney. It just stuns me... though I think after the last trip it makes sense lol
TIME FOR ANOTHER DIAGRAM!
Disney Food > Other Food
Nuff said and I will definitely put Strawberry Red Bean Ice Cream on my list... oh, maybe I should tell my friend who's in Disney right now! Yes, he can tell me his opinion!
Love One Man's Dream. So fun to look at all the memorabilia.
I remember the how warm and sunny it was that day and then all of the sudden it began to get chilly, windy and drizzle a bit. Dec. 7th was the day we arrived! Aww...memories. Wish I was there now!
Those puppets are hilarious! Love the Friends reference. I was just watching an episode the other day. It was the one where Monica was making all of the jam because of her breakup from Richard. Love that show.
Sorry to see that you guys had rotten luck with ride timing that happened to my family on martin luther king day this year. we couldn't figure out why we were having such terrible luck with lines and crowds but eventually we figured it out.
I love visiting the one man's dream exhibit. it isn't a every trip thing for me but i do like visiting it occassionally.
Yay friends reference i love that show so much! i am actually watching it right now on nick at night. i made a ton of friends references in my pictures and conversations my past 2 disney trips. i love quoting janis! i also love quoting all the other characters as well. Whenever i saw anything about dinosaurs i started quoting ross. i took a couple of pictures where i am imitating ross's veliosoraptor pose. it really is hillarious!
can't wait for more
hahah the plant pictures much be a mom thing.
I did see the muppet movie! It was great! Lol those songs are awesome!
Cute pictures!
Hahaha that's such a funny story! Ugh forgetting where the car is is the worst!
He's usually in Mexico! I think there is a sign near where he greets so just keep an eye out for the times!
Mmm try the strawberry one! You won't regret it!
-I think the plant pictures are definitely a mom thing!
-I really enjoyed the muppets movie! Amy Adams was adorbs!
-Hahahah I know right.....forgetting where you car is is a horrible feeling!
-I definitely will! I have to find him!
-I really want the strawberry one now!
Omg you guys look like you had so much fun! i was just in Disney 2 weeks ago for my 13th birthday! don't you love how everyone says happy birthday and sings?! its so MAGICAL! (lol)
Is the Beauty and the Beast show FANTASTIC? Everyone says it is, but I never get a chance to see it My brother is 16 and a HUGE disney lover, but can never be convinced to see this show.
Italy is beautiful!!! I love all of the world showcase!!!
We haven't eaten at San Angel...it looks like you had an amazing meal!!
Yay for updates! I love Epcot, it's so pretty! Everything! Dinner looks great! There's too many places to eat in Epcot...I could eat forever.... Yay for birthday churros!
