A Jolly Holiday with Masseys: THE TRIP REPORT - WDW Dec2019

[pkondz]

Poor baby.

Thank you. This is why I come here. I really need the sympathy.





WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WERE BEING SARCASTIC?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

She's a woman and can multi-task.

This I 100% believe.

I just have to say that the ads are killing me! This is so frustration. I don't about anyone else but the ad at the top of each page grow tooooo big and the ad at the bottom of the page blocks the blue arrow that I love using to get back to the top of the page. Is anyone else experiencing this same frustration?

YES!

The top one is huge!!!
The bottom one... at least for me... has a little down-arrow on the left hand side of the ad so I can make it go away, at least.

first world problems.

 

[pkondz]

i agree with this statement. We're only the way we are because of YOU!

first world problems.

Michelle giveth and Michelle taketh away.

"Luv ya mom!... Sucks to be you, mom!"

 

[vamassey1]

Yes! It is driving me crazy too. Also - loved the HS update. I have not done Disney at Christmastime yet. We are either doing Fall Break 2022 or start of Christmas break. Your pictures are making me want to do Christmastime!

That's a tough choice, Halloween or Christmas.

 

[vamassey1]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WERE BEING SARCASTIC?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Sorry, not sorry.

The bottom one... at least for me... has a little down-arrow on the left hand side of the ad so I can make it go away, at least.

I've been doing that but it's such a pain.

first world problems.

OMG!

Michelle giveth and Michelle taketh away.

Me!!! It’s driving me nuts!!

 

[StarWarsMomofGirls!]

Man what a day you guys had!!! It sounded all amazing!

I love the lady photo bombing us. In the next picture Danielle is telling Michelle about it.

That is hilarious!

The fact that they come and go is what drives me crazy!!!!

 

[vamassey1]

Me!!! It’s driving me nuts!!

It's so annoying!

 

[vamassey1]

Man what a day you guys had!!! It sounded all amazing!

It really was.

That is hilarious!

It's one of those things you don't realize until you go back and look at he pictures.

The fact that they come and go is what drives me crazy!!!!

And make the page jump.

I think this is same female Historian that Liesa likes too. There were time when they were laughing so hard right along with the audience.

Yes, it is!! I think she is gone now, but she was WAY funnier than the one I've seen the last 2 shows I've been at. Sad.

It was cool this night so the vents were not open and thanks to Dennis we all lived to regret that, except for John Paul since he feel asleep.

Buahahahahahaha! Dying!

YES!

The top one is huge!!!
The bottom one... at least for me... has a little down-arrow on the left hand side of the ad so I can make it go away, at least.

Meh, I have an ad blocker, so am missing this "joy".

 

[vamassey1]

Yes, it is!! I think she is gone now, but she was WAY funnier than the one I've seen the last 2 shows I've been at. Sad.

I did not know she left. I'm glad we had the chance to see her.

Meh, I have an ad blocker, so am missing this "joy".

Lucky you!

So my next trip to Disney is now 37 sleeps away and I'm not happy I'm going to have to wear a mask indoors. I understand and I'm thankful I won't have to wear one everywhere, but I still don't like it. I am hoping this makes all the parents out there that can't get their kids vaccinated feel better.

I hope I don't bore anyone but I wanted to give another Danielle DCP update. On the last update it was her day off before Food and Wine kicked off. She went to Grocery Bingo and won!




Can't say no to free groceries.

I was real happy to get this photo with Goofy for the kick off. One of the things she was missing moving from working at the Magic Kingdom to Epcot was the special picture opportunities. I'm so glad they did this for CMs and CPs.


She worked the first shift at the Donut Box in the Expo position. She was the person calling out the order and handing it to the guest The bad news was she was in the sun all day. The good news was this put her in the camera view for a few bloggers. I actually saw her for a brief second on the Touring Plans live feed as they were walking up to the booth. A lot of the bloggers visited the Donut Box on opening day since it's one of the first booths after you enter the park. She missed Tim Tracker's visit since she was on break but she is seen 3 times in DFB's Best of the Best and she's in Paging Mr. Morrow's opening F&W blog.






Is she famous? No, but it sure warms my heart to see her Making Magic. This has been the only day she has worked at this booth since F&W started.

She and Meredith went back to Epcot after they got off to sample some of the food and ride Test Track since they had not ridden it yet on their program. She had to get the lemon blueberry donut and has had it more than once. She says it really is that good. Both Meredith and Mikaela had not visited the parks in between the shut down and coming back for this program so they are still really excited to do things for the first time. Danielle visited the parks in October and May so she doesn't get as excited.



She has worked Flavors from Fire a few times, the Rotunda Bistro a few times, Refreshment Port a few times and Appleseed once. She missed a shift on a Wednesday due to some tummy issues but I was really proud of her. She stepped out of her comfort zone and picked up a very long shift in DHS working the Sunset Ranch Market Area. She also visited Epcot by herself to try some more food. She went to Animal Kingdom by herself on her day off. She had lunch at Satuli Canteen and then sat at the bar in Nomads. She had an adult drink and some churros. She said she had a fabulous time visiting with the bartender and several guests. After she was done she meet Meredith at the front of the park so they could go to DHS. This was the day before she was going to work there and she wanted to scope it out and speak with some other CPs to find out where she needed to report and get some general information.





The first 2 weeks of F&W they pretty much just copied and pasted the CPs schedule so she has had the opportunity to work with some of the same people and has started to make friends with co-workers.


She had the early schedule yesterday so she changed and tried some more food in Epcot then went to MK with another CP from Flavors from Fire to see HEA and she took this gorgeous photo.



Everything has not been perfect but I will say she is making the most of her program. She has Friday and Saturday off so I'm sure she will try to rest, recoup and have some more fun.

Sounds like Danielle is working and playing hard which is great. It must be lovely for you to spot her in other people’s blogs. She always looks so happy.
i have to ask- what is grocery bingo? I’d it an app for a particular store? Great that she won free groceries in any case

 

[StarWarsMomofGirls!]

She missed Tim Tracker's visit since she was on break

I totally thought of her when I was watching his video!

she is seen 3 times in DFB's Best of the Best and she's in Paging Mr. Morrow's opening F&W blog.

I will have to watch those to spot her.

Glad she is making friends. that is always the hardest part.

Enjoyed all the pictures from your trip and from Danielle's time. I enjoy keeping up with her on Instagram too. She is so cute. Hope the surging virus doesn't cause too many problems for her or for your trip Labor Day.

 

[pkondz]

So my next trip to Disney is now 37 sleeps away

Not that you're counting or anything...

and I'm not happy I'm going to have to wear a mask indoors.

<sigh>
I just heard about that. Sad, but... I suppose better than the alternative? (spreading Covid more easily and/or infecting more people.)

I am hoping this makes all the parents out there that can't get their kids vaccinated feel better.

That's a good way of looking at it.

I hope I don't bore anyone but I wanted to give another Danielle DCP update.

Au contraire!

She went to Grocery Bingo and won!

So... what is that?
I mean, I know what Bingo is and I get that the prize is groceries, but... where was this? For CPs? At a store?

Can't say no to free groceries.

She looks pretty pleased about her winnings.

Looks pretty pleased there too!

I actually saw her for a brief second on the Touring Plans live feed as they were walking up to the booth.

Cool!!

Is she famous? No

Dunno about that!

She had to get the lemon blueberry donut and has had it more than once.

mmmm... that sounds amazing. I don't blame her for getting it again.

She has worked Flavors from Fire a few times, the Rotunda Bistro a few times, Refreshment Port a few times and Appleseed once.

Huh. So many places.
Does she like moving around, or would she prefer to stick to one spot?

She stepped out of her comfort zone and picked up a very long shift in DHS working the Sunset Ranch Market Area. She also visited Epcot by herself to try some more food. She went to Animal Kingdom by herself on her day off.

Good for her! Your little girl is growing up.

She... had someone take a photo of her... in the shower????

she has had the opportunity to work with some of the same people and has started to make friends with co-workers.

Nice.

she took this gorgeous photo.

Stunning shot!

 

[vamassey1]

Sounds like Danielle is working and playing hard which is great.

She is doing that.

It must be lovely for you to spot her in other people’s blogs.

It's an extra bonus.

She always looks so happy.

She does know how to smile for the camera.

i have to ask- what is grocery bingo?

They host a BINGO game at the complex where the live and if you win you get some free groceries.

 

[vamassey1]

I totally thought of her when I was watching his video!

She was really sorry she missed him. She said she saw so many people videoing that day.

I will have to watch those to spot her.

You have to look close because it's fast. We watched another bloggers video she shows up and after looking at the two she thinks she has figured out who was doing the DFB reviews, still not sure if it was AJ.

Glad she is making friends. that is always the hardest part.

It really is.

Thank you! I'm starting to worry too but I hope things get corrected by then. I don't think Disney wants to go back.
