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

[luvpoohandcompany]

It really was a cute idea. I told Gia she was the Unicorn of the family.

Aw I bet she loved that

I'm sorry but that is too funny.

I was just happy he hadn’t peed in there

Michelle will never let us live down leaving her after JP was born

'm so happy that things are getting better where you are and I love this idea of the walk. Great for mental health and their physical health.

It has done them all a power of good!

Happy Early Anniversary

Thank you

Danielle got her itinerary yesterday with her move in details and job location. She will start off her time as Food & Beverage in Epcot in the Festival Booths. Her old roommate ME got the exact same thing and her other old roommate MI got merchandise in Germany. They are happy to all be working in Epcot. She checks into the apartment complex at 10 am on the 15th. She has her Onboarding @ 4:45. Last time this was what she did in Casting building. This time around everything is done at the Flamingo Crossing complex. Her Disney Welcome all day class will be on that Saturday at the complex. She will start training sometime after that. Not sure what they will be doing in between Flower & Garden ending on July 5th and Food & Wine starting on July 15th. They have been told their positions will be evolving as they are needed. I think ME and MI will be doing blogs on this new DCP experience. Danielle is not going to blog but she may do some Tik Toks and she will participate in what ME & MI do. ME will be here on this Saturday. She and Danielle are going to caravan together on Monday. There are activities set up for the kids to keep them busy from check in until the start training. They can't get into the parks until they have their "blue ids" which is normally given after Traditions (Disney Welcome). Not sure how much park time they will get since the CMs have been pretty much blocked out of the parks since February but with capacity increasing hopefully they will get some playtime. So excited for them!

Right now her "dashboard" shows QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) for her position. So no she will not be a seater at CRT again. They told them on the call that what they are seeing is just a placeholder.

I hope she likes it and she can advance to other areas as time goes on! EPCOT isn't awful for sure!

So as of now she doesn't know who she will be sharing her apartment with, hopefully the girl she requested as one of her room mates will be in the apartment.

Sounds like she is getting more and more information all the time. How exciting and the adventure of a lifetime!

My office now makes me very happy.

It looks GREAT!!! I love the classy look of it!

How are things were you live? I'm sure it different everywhere.

Still in ridiculous overboard mode here. It's a joke.

She's happy with Epcot and honestly she would have been happy in any park.

Getting more info everyday helps to get the excitement building.

Thank you!

Huh! I wasn't expecting that. But of course someone has to do it.

She checks into the apartment complex at 10 am on the 15th.

Exactly one week to go!

 

[luvpoohandcompany]

So exciting to hear all the details of Danielle’s program. I love EPCOT so I’m sure she will have a great time around her work days there. Meant to say in my last post but I love your office and the cactus is gorgeous

 

[luvpoohandcompany]

Oops double post

 

[vamassey1]

Huh! I wasn't expecting that. But of course someone has to do it.

I think the CPs will be replacing some of the CMs that are doing it now so they can return to their original positions as more opens up plus they have always used CPs for this.

Exactly one week to go!

And now it's even less!

So exciting to hear all the details of Danielle’s program. I love EPCOT so I’m sure she will have a great time around her work days there.

She's excited to try all the food. When you work in food service you get to sample everything. She's also excited to be there for the open of Ratatouille and Harmonious. Last time she heard the MK parades and HEA daily now she get to hear Harmonious.

Meant to say in my last post but I love your office and the cactus is gorgeous

Thank you! Hannah did a great job on the cactus.

Huh. Had no idea.

Huh. Had no idea.

I'm learning all kinds of stuff.

Your office looks fantastic!
Congrats on the baby news to all of you!

DHS-Thursday December 19th- It's Rise Time
We last left off with meeting back up with Dennis and Danielle after they had visited Savi's so Dennis could get a new toy. We decided to spend some time in Galaxy Edge while we waited for our Boarding for ROTR. Michelle and I both had drink envy since we missed out on getting cool Batuu cokes. We soon made up for what we missed and the girls had a little fun with it.







We still have these bottles but I don't know what we're going to do with them. We started exploring a little more. Somehow I had missed seeing the Falcon so we stopped to take some pictures. The helicopter in this photo kind of messes up the ambiance of the area.


JP is showing off his R2D2 here.


And just like that it was time to board ROTR!


This was taken at 11:46 am so not too bad. We all checked in and got a Rider Swap for Michelle and I to ride after Dennis and Danielle. We did some more exploring and shopping. John Paul really liked the helmets but we didn't like the price tag.



I think Michelle's head was too big for the kid size.


John Paul enjoyed some Batuu Coke too.



Continued in Next Post. . . .

 

[vamassey1]

We did some Photopass pictures.



I was ready for some lunch so we headed to Ronto Roasters to try the Ronto Wrap. It was really crowded in there so we had to do some table stalking. When we got ready to leave we made sure to give our table to a family that was also hunting for a table. I really liked the wrap but Michelle didn't really care for it. I would like to go back maybe on September trip a have another one. I'm looking forward to eating what I want to eat.




After lunch we explored the market place area and John Paul snuggled down for a nap.






It was finally time for Michelle and I to ride ROTR. We passed a sleeping JP to Dennis and Danielle. I do not know what all they did while we rode. I do know they grabbed some lunch at Woody's. Danielle loves a good grilled cheese and tomato soup.

When we walked up to use our Rider Swap we were taken to a side entrance and joined the line right here before the pre-show. Sorry it's blurry but we were in motion.


We loved the whole ride!!! I'm not going to post the tons of pictures we took, just a few highlights.




Continued in Next Post. . . .

 

[vamassey1]

There is so much going on in this ride it's hard to catch it all. I'm so glad we got another ride on it in May.

We headed back to TSL to meet back up with Dennis, Danielle & JP. Michelle got this shot on her way there. This is where the characters hang out and interact with guests.



This should have been the time for us to take a break but I got over ruled. I'm usually the one that likes to keep going but I really wanted a little nap and change clothes.

Stay tuned to see what we did instead of taking a break.

I really love the thinking of GE. It is so immersive and looks amazing. The girls fun photos are priceless

they had visited Savi's so Dennis could get a new toy.

Boys and their toys... amiright?

Of course I am. 'Cause that's me, too.

Michelle and I both had drink envy since we missed out on getting cool Batuu cokes.

Got one of those, myself.

Too hot to hold.

And I ain't talkin' about the Coke!

We still have these bottles but I don't know what we're going to do with them.

Mine is on display beside my R2.

The helicopter in this photo kind of messes up the ambiance of the area.

Fixed:

Love this shot of them.

John Paul really liked the helmets but we didn't like the price tag.

Heh. I get that!

I think Michelle's head was too big for the kid size.

Maybe just a teensy bit.

Fixed!

I was ready for some lunch so we headed to Ronto Roasters to try the Ronto Wrap.

I really want to try one of those. I've heard good things.

When we got ready to leave we made sure to give our table to a family that was also hunting for a table.

Meanwhile, that solo diner is still there... hunting aimlessly... sobbing into his cold ronto...

I do know they grabbed some lunch at Woody's. Danielle loves a good grilled cheese and tomato soup.

My DDs favourite meal of the trip!

We loved the whole ride!!!

Love this!!

This whole area is feast for the eyes. My girls play off of each other really well.

Do you have a lightsaber too?

Too hot to hold.

And I ain't talkin' about the Coke!

Mine is on display beside my R2.

That's a good place for it.

Fixed:

Perfect!

Fixed!

Shouldn't these be "exploding helicopters"?

really want to try one of those. I've heard good things.

I really like it.

Meanwhile, that solo diner is still there... hunting aimlessly... sobbing into his cold ronto...

I'm sorry.

Love this!!

We were sooooo scared of the Storm Troopers.
