Day 9: June 28th *continued*
We left off getting off the monorail and walking into the GF. Mom and I turned left while everyone else went right. She and I went into the Basin store. Everyone needs to go in there! They had so much yummy soaps, lotions, etc. in there. They even had some Disney ones that were made! I really wanted to buy the soap that had Mickey heads in it, but I wouldnt ever want to use it and ruin it! HA!
After leaving Basin, we ended up walking by a photopass place! We asked them if we could look at our photopass pic that we had taken before. She said, Sure you can! We gave her our card and she swiped it and brought up our pic. While it was good, we decided to take another one another time just to be sure. As we were walking away, we saw a couple probably around my age or a bit older. He was dressed up in tux and she was dressed up in a really nice dress. I wonder if they were going to Victoria and Alberts?! They ended up getting pictures taken by the stairs and balcony. I bet the pics turned out cute!
We called Sis to see where they were. They were downstairs, so we headed down the big staircase. Thats one of my favorite things about the GF. When we used to stay there when I was really young, I loved it and being back on it definitely always brings back memories.
We met back up and saw it was almost time for our ADR, so we decided to head over to 1900 PF and check-in. Dad and B/F went to check us in and get a pager while Mom, Sis, and I found a nice area of couches in the lobby close to the elevators. As we were sitting down, we saw a lady walk by with a cart full of teddy bears. I instantly knew who she was! Some of you may have read about her on the DIS, like I did before we left home. She and her husband used to come to the GF all the time and I guess they used to love sitting in the lobby, people watching. Her husband has passed away, but she still comes to the GF lobby to sit every single day since then because she feels that hes there with her still. So sad. I wanted to go up to her and say Hi but I didnt want to freak her out by telling her that I read about her on the internet. Ha.
It was maybe 10 minutes of sitting down and our pager went off! YAY! The lobby of 1900 PF was a zoo. People standing around waiting everywhere! We walked by one mom and she started getting mad that our pager already went off. Well
maybe our ADR time was for before hers?! While we were standing there waiting for our hostess to seat us, all we could hear was this mom complaining about us. It was awkward! Finally our hostess came and we walked in fast! Haha.
As we walked to our table, I couldnt help but think of Tim (that's nice) and his adorable Juliana. Tim had posted in his previous TR the cutest video from their breakfast at 1900 PF. It was pretty funny!
When our waitress came to our table, we couldnt help but look at her name badge to see where she was from
and GUESS WHAT?! Shes from our area! It was such a small world! She kept asking us how things are up here now and all that. It was so neat. She brought us our drinks and we headed up to the buffet. This has to be one of my favorite buffets at WDW. YUM.
As we started eating, we start hearing screaming and I knew exactly who it was
Anastasia and Drizella! They come running out of a door screaming and fighting while the Evil Mother walking right behind them rolling her eyes. Finally, she yells GIRLS! ENOUGH! And they stopped. It was hilarious.
And now
.the fight
I hope this doesnt disappoint anyone...
Anastasia comes to our table first. She starts yapping about something and then she goes, You know
my sisters make-up..I dont know what shes thinking
If shes trying out for the Circus or what because she looks like a clown! And starts laughing like a hyena
LOUDLY
I was laughing so hard. She posed for our pic and then skipped away:
A few minutes later, Drizella comes to our table. Of course I had to say something. I wanted to stir things up and see what they would do! She poses for our pic:
And then I said to her, You know
Anastasia just told us that she thinks your make-up makes you look like a clown. She gasps and frowns. She stands there for a second and then turns around and yells at the top of her lungs, MMMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
I look at my family like Uh-oh whats going to happen now?! The Evil Mother comes running to our table. Drizella says, Anastasia is calling me names again! So the Evil Mother yells at Anastasia to come to our table. She looks at us with a glare and says Humph! and sticks up her nose at us as she walks by. Were all laughing. Mother says, Anastasia
what did you call Drizella? As shes saying this, I take a pic. Look at how Drizella is looking at Anastasia like haha, Im getting you in trouble! Cinderellas over at our table by this point too to see what the commotion is all about!:
Im laughing so hard Im crying by this point. Anastasia folds her hands..looks at down then slyly up at Mother
then bats her eyes..then says, A CLOWN! And she starts laughing like a hyena again. Mother made Anastasia go sit in the corner. It was hilarious. She kept trying to steal food from the table that was sitting right by her. Drizella would purposely walk by her and theyd stick their tongues out at each other. Oh it was priceless!!
Im sorry if this fight wasnt what you expected..but it was definitely a highlight of our trip!
Cinderella went back through the door and didnt come back out until we were almost done with our desserts! We were eating and these loud trumpets start playing. A CM yells out, Please welcome our belle of the ball, Cinderella and her handsome Prince Charming! They come out and start dancing in the middle of the room:
They danced and danced. Drizella and Anastasia kept trying to get Prince Charmings attention. They were yelling his name, jumping up and down, shaking their butts at him. It was hilarious. He didnt even acknowledge them. It was great. After they were done dancing, he came to our table first!:
Then Cinderella made her way over. She made B/F get up for the picture. Ha. She freaked us out though..There was something about her that reminded us of our Aunt who passed away last March. It was a bittersweet moment:
After thanked Cinderella and said good-bye to our waitress from back home, we headed back up to the monorail for MK Evening EMHs!
We stopped on Main Street first to take a photopass pic. Then, we went back to the pic shop to look at it and ended up liking that one and bought it. Then, we headed up the steps to the train station and rode around to Toontown. We went in The Tent and the line for Tink was still 60 minutes, so we skipped that. We looked around the shop in there for awhile.
Then, we decided to head to Buzz and get fast passes. I grabbed B/F and my cards, Mom had the rest
We met back up and Mom ended up getting 6 extra fast passes besides the 3 for Mom, Dad, and Sis!!!! It was awesome!
We headed towards Fantasyland. The sun was setting and it was beautiful. This pic was taken by Sis while walking. Yes, she likes to do that a lot. HA!:
We decided to ride IASW to pass the time because it wasnt very long until our fast pass time!:
I love this flower with the Sayonara. Dont ask me why..I just do!:
When we walked by PP, all the fast pass stations were closed except one, which had a sign on the top of it. I decided to walk up to it and read what it said. It was surprise birthday fast passes for anyone who was celebrating a birthday that day! How neat!
We got in line to use our first set of fast passes for Buzz. I WON! I tried to take a pic of this moment in history, but the numbers kept flashing and I could never get a pic of them! We got back in line with our second set of fast passes
..and I WON AGAIN! YAY! I texted
xoktenox because I knew she would be so proud of me!
We headed back through Fantasyland and walked right on Snow White:
We made our way around the corner of Fantasyland and into Liberty Square just as Wishes was starting so the HM was only a 5 minute wait! Then, we headed over to Pirates. When we got on and in the beginning caves part, I thought I was going to freak out! The girl in front of us had a light up necklace that was flashing and I was so scared she was going to leave it on the whole ride, but she turned it off! Whew!
We headed over to Frontierland and made our way back to Splash, which was only a 30 minute wait! We hadnt been on this ride in awhile! We didnt ride it at all last year because it wasnt the same without B/F with us. Dad and B/F took the front row, Mom was alone in the second, and Sis and I were in the third. The drop was hilarious because all the water went over Dad and B/Fs heads and onto Mom! I took a pic of one of our other favorite Hidden Mickeys at the end of the ride:
We looked at our Splashdown pic and made our way over to BTMRR. It was only a 30 minute wait too! We got all the way to be the next ones on the ride and it broke down! They got everyone out who was already loaded, then we had to walk across the cars to exit. At the exit, we were given free fast passes that lasted until the day before our last day of our trip!
We met back up with Dad and he had heard about the ride breaking down and wondered if we were on the ride when it happened! I was glad we werent!
We headed to Main Street. Mom and Sis wanted to get cinnamon rolls at the Bakery, so while they did that, B/F and I sat on the curb and watched the Kiss Goodnight on the Castle. It was awesome!
When they came out of the Bakery, we decided to call it a night and headed to the bus stop. We made our way back to OKW around 12:15 a.m
and the ride there was entertaining. There was a lady and her husband sitting a few rows in front of us. She was talking about how when you turn on the t.v. in your Resort room, it always says Welcome Home! She said it says that because theres satellites on top of every room and when we have our room keys with us, it scans it and knows were in our room so it says Welcome Home! Im not lying..she really said this. We were trying not to laugh out loud. Whenever we turned on our t.v. the rest of the trip, we had to say something about it! HAHA.
~Up next: DHS day and a relaxing night
