A Solo Celebration of the Holidays & New Things to Explore Updated 3/3x3!!

Loving your TR! Its nice to know im not the only 20-something female that takes solo trips to WDW all the time LOL I was actually there right after you Nov 30-Dec 3.

BTW I know your server from Le Cellier...We both applied for the Disney CRP program and interviewed together a year ago :thumbsup2

Oh and love your AE sandles your wearing ive got the same pair - although I so couldnt walk around the parks all day in them..kudos to you girl!

Thanks!!! I'm glad you're liking it! Ah! I love taking solo trips, and I find being in my 20's, there isn't always a friend who can afford to come with me, so why not go solo?! It's great, and a place where I can feel completely safe traveling alone. That's awesome! Haha, it was pretty funny to find out the friend I work with knows him too, small world! Hahah. I'm always waiting for the day that I'm walking through the Canada pavilion and see someone I know haha.

Thanks!! I love them too! I've got them in purple and gold, and just love them more than flip flops. Haha, I usually switch off between sandals & runners in WDW, but thanks to the broken toes, couldn't actually wear anything else, bahah!



I've gotten so far behind!

You're so right-that Aurora is PERFECT! And that Ariel sound great too. You know we've had some not so great Ariels, but that one sounds excellent.

Jasmine on the other hand didn't look at all Jasminey to me.

And for the record, Maddie LOVES to meet Belle in her blue dress. She calls it the "reading dress". :lmao:

Haha, no worries! Sometimes I tend to post super fast haha. UGH, Aurora, like, I've never met a better one that looks the part so well, she was just perfect, and SO beautiful!! Ariel was excellent, I'm glad to see that they've got more Ariel's trained up now, there was a point where it was always the same one, and I really didn't like her, and for Ariel being the favsies, it sucked haha.

Jasmine really didn't look the part, I dunno, she wasn't very Jasminey at all. Yay!! I like that, I really wish Belle would be out in her pink or green dresses, but I guess then kids REALLY wouldn't recognize her haha!

 
I think we just missed each other! Our lunch at Le Cellier was at 2:00 pm and then we headed to Future World to catch some rides. We did World Showcase later in the week.

You got in some great meet and greets! Bonus for getting one of the CMs in training.

That's weird that they didn't let you sub for the mashed potatoes at Le Cellier. I was able to do it that day at lunch. Maybe they are only allowed at lunch? :confused3

Ah how weird! I loved it! It was really great to see that someone out training could be that awesome and so much better than the previous one, it was fantastic! Weeeeiiirrrdd....maybe they do only do it for lunch?! I didn't really mind, as that would have been FAR too much dairy for me to handle, especially with how I was feeling afterwards as it was, bahaha!
 
As you have been told, it was showtime for me, and since I was back at Hollywood Studios, I think you all know where I was headed! I definitely took the time to tweet at Paige too!

“@PaigeM Time for Fantasmic!! Wish you and your feels were here to join me in this glass cage of emotion!”​

There had been an earlier show that I originally was going to try and make that night, but I ended up leaving Epcot later than expected, and that was okay, since there was an 8 o’clock show anyways. After a brief stop for a snack or two before heading in, I jumped in the line at 7:00 sharp!

IMG_3731.jpg


Since they had to wait for the previous show (which holy, had been crowded) to get out, and clean the theatre, they let us in around 7:30! I followed the crowds, and then made my way down to near the front of the theatre, I knew I wouldn’t get amazing photos, but I wanted to try, and be close to the action. I actually ended up getting like, 4th row seats, and THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND ME. Serious, the theatre filled up but everyone must have thought I was saving the seats as I had so much space to myself. I used this time to play some games on my phone, and eat one of my snacks!

IMG_2288.jpg


NOM NOM. And yes, I ate this close to a huge meal that gave me such a food baby I wanted to die. However, thanks to the dairy, I hadn’t actually eaten a lot that day, and since had gotten hungry! I also had an Uncrustable in my bag for either later, or breakfast! Lawl. Little cute story, as the show was about to start, this very small child, I’m going to say somewhere between ages 1 & 2, who was sitting in the row behind me, came up directly behind me and like, “thunked” onto me into a hug, cutest thing ever! I definitely would have chatted him up a bit, but the family definitely didn’t speak English, so no one would have understood me, baha! Then, it was show time!

IMG_3736.jpg


IMG_3738.jpg


IMG_3739.jpg


IMG_3740.jpg


I honestly do absolutely adore this show, but I would be totally okay just watching the first 30 seconds, and the last about a minute. The SECOND that it’s all “imagination….” And then Mickey pops up on stage, and starts directing the water around, I tear up. Heck, I opened the video up in youtube to get a quote from the show and was all “asdsjnfdlng” teared up.

IMG_3741.jpg


IMG_3742.jpg


IMG_3744.jpg


IMG_3751.jpg


IMG_3752.jpg


Sometimes I really do wonder just HOW many cast members it takes to put on this show a night. Like, they’ve got about 3 or 4 concession stands, and then the “crowd control” ones and then there’s the performers! Like, I know some of them MUST have double rolls, but it’s incredible!

IMG_3755.jpg


IMG_3758.jpg


IMG_3761.jpg


Okay, can we talk about this part for a second, EVERY DAMN TIME that canon/gun goes off at the start of this, everyone in the theatre jumps, and half of them scream. I try to prepare myself for it every time, but it doesn’t work. Heck, even in the video, I just passed that point and was cringing and still jumped!

IMG_3766.jpg


IMG_3771.jpg


IMG_3780.jpg


IMG_3783.jpg


Try as I might, it’s just not light enough to get good pictures of Pocahontas, at least not with my camera!! I also have a hard time photographing the princess floats that come around, like, they’re glowing light, so I think “don’t use flash” but then you just get the lights, or they’re super blurry, and those boats move fast! Lawl. So skilled!

IMG_3787.jpg


IMG_3788.jpg

*continued*
 
IMG_3803.jpg


They do a pretty good job with the water effects in this show (although I do think that World Of Color is more advanced? I dunno, it looks better) I also like that they have an actual kinda plot line to go with the show, beware the darkness imagination can create!

IMG_3806.jpg


IMG_3808.jpg


IMG_3812.jpg


Man, Disney employees must not be allowed to be afraid of fire/pyrotechnics! Especially in this show!!

IMG_3816.jpg


IMG_3818.jpg


LOOK HOW CUTE MICKEY IS!! I love this outfit, and how he like, “cowers” in his shorts, so cute. Also, before this bit, when they have all the villains projected on the water, I LOVE how well they blend from one to the next, and how they used actual bits from the original movies to create it!

IMG_3822.jpg


That’s pretty bad-awesome, if you ask me! Also, I’ve heard of a Fantasmic where everything went wrong (Cale, who used to work at Le Cel saw it) and he said that they didn’t get the dragon out on stage in time… EEK!

IMG_3823.jpg


IMG_3824.jpg


IMG_3828.jpg


IMG_3830.jpg


MICKEY SAVES THE DAY!!! (again, with the pyro effects!) I also got the picture I wanted! Yaaaaay!

IMG_3833.jpg


IMG_3835.jpg


IMG_3836.jpg


It’s usually somewhere around here that my emotions start to come out, but they’re not really in tune with what’s going on, it’s more prepping myself for what’s coming, cause this part’s great, but the finale blows my mind every time!! I also managed to get some decent pics of Belle!

IMG_3837.jpg


IMG_3839.jpg


IMG_3840.jpg


IMG_3844.jpg


BERT AND MARY!! BERT AND MARY!! BEEEERRRRRTTTT!!! In his Jolly Holiday attire!! I know it’s blurry as heck, but seriously, I would LOVE to meet these two together, like they do over in DLR, I wish Bert was out with her in the UK, or something, like, they’d be a blast together!!

IMG_3845.jpg


It’s right about here where I really start dying…

IMG_3846.jpg


IMG_3847.jpg


BAM! Right in the feels! I’m like, trying to prepare myself for the finale every time, and it just makes me more emotional! The absolutely second that Mickey pops up on the top of that mountain and everything’s magical, and he’s in charge of his imagination again, and it’s all wonderful and amazing, and then the fire work goes off, and he disappears, and then BAM reappears down at the bottom and is all “Some imagination, huh?” And I’m weeping, like, absolutely weeping, just talking about it makes me tear up. I was out for dinner with Paige (from the Sept trip) and we were discussing how we’d be happy watching just the last 45 seconds of the show, and I totally would. THAT is where it tears at my heart strings.

Needless to say, the show was amazing. There was a group of my age kids behind me who seemed to be in the same “oh my god” stage as I was too, haha! With tears in my eyes, I headed out of the huge theatre, I had at least one more stop before it was sleep time (and there were EMH at DHS that evening, so I had the option to stick around!)

(and for the record, I left the video of Fantasmic playing while typing this and it took me exactly that long to type it, so now I am going to go watch the finale so I can cry! Bahaha!)

I'm adding in something here: because I realized it recently, and I'm not sure when, as I thought it was when I was typing up a TR update, but looked through the updates and couldn't find one, SO. Here it goes:

I've now realized how amazing Fantasmic is, and WHY it seriously gets to me so much. It's not necessarily Mickey's imagination...it's Walt's! It talks about all the things that the imagination can create, and then goes through so many of Walt's wonderful creations, and even some of the villains and "darkness" that the imagination can create. Mickey's the one controlling it because Walt is Mickey, he originally voiced him, and it's been said that "they were each other". It's all a celebration of the amazing things that Walt created!
 

And yes…for those of you who were wondering, I totally cried…ugh.
**
And now onto the Osbourne Lights! It was actually pretty chilly, and I did want a hot chocolate while I looked at some pretty lights, but of course everything on the out course of Fantasmic was way too lined up, and once I got further into the park, everything was CLOSED. Boourns. Poor work on their part! It was quite a walk to get all the way around as they want everyone coming through the same entrance (over my Lights Motor Action) but I did eventually make it!

IMG_3851.jpg


IMG_3852.jpg


IMG_3853.jpg


It was absolutely beautiful, and I wasn’t even fully into the Streets of America yet!

IMG_3855.jpg


IMG_3858.jpg


IMG_3859.jpg


I had finally made it around to the official entrance, and finally gave myself a chance to look around! And for those of you who were wondering, there is a little stand (Herbie’s Drive In) that is still open at this time, and I *think* they had hot chocolate, but the wait was too long for me to be bothered!

IMG_3860.jpg


IMG_3861.jpg


IMG_3862.jpg


IMG_3863.jpg


IMG_3864.jpg


IMG_3865.jpg


They were so pretty!!! Like seriously, I’d seen pictures of them before, but pictures just don’t do them justice! You have to see them in pictures! I also found a Once poster!!

IMG_3866.jpg


IMG_3868.jpg


IMG_3869.jpg


IMG_3870.jpg


IMG_3871.jpg


IMG_3872.jpg


And as if my mind wasn’t blown enough with the gorgeousness of the lights themselves, there were little hidden Mickey’s all throughout the display, awesome!! And then….this happened:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZurRoKkwJ4

(sorry for the camera turning sideways halfway through, I seriously don’t think sometimes, ahahaha)

MY MIND WAS BLOOOWWWWNN….THEY ACTUALLY DAAAAAANCE. I seriously thought the “dancing” part was just like, the reindeer prancing kinda thing, but then this happened. I was seriously amazed. And this, is why you should definitely take a chance to check out the lights if you’re in DHS over the Christmas season, they are beautiful!

With the dancing over, and me getting colder by the minute, I decided to start to head out of the park. Since I was chilly, and there’s always shopping to do, I stopped into some of the gift shops on the way out to warm up and browse. This is where I finally found something for the boyfriend, and the roommate, it’s pretty hard to shop for boys at Disney sometimes, but I managed to do it!

IMG_3876.jpg


The bowtie for the roommate (he absolutely loves bow ties and has worn it at work pretty much everyday!) And a regular tie for the boyfriend!

IMG_3877.jpg


Since I was leaving the park I just took them with me, and headed out to the bus stop, which I managed to get on at 9:18, and was home not much later than that!


 
Fantasmic and Osborne Lights all in one update, awesome!

You got some great photos during Fantasminc. I especially like the one of the Evil Queen.

Words cannot express how beautiful the Osborne Lights are! :love: I think I need to go back during Christmas every year just to see them!

Thanks!! I should really start playing around with my camera more to get some better pics next time!! haha

I KNOW!! I'd seen pictures of them, and was super excited to see some pretty lights, but was just blown away when they legit started dancing, it was crazy!! I do like Disney in the Christmas season, but I think I'll check out some other festivities next year, it just doesn't feel right to be all "christmas-ed" out and there be no snow, bahaha, and the soap just doesn't cut it lawl
 
It was the second day of my trip and I was up bright and early ready to go! I had the alarm set for 7:00am, and was up and got ready while I ate a snack from the night before. I was out the door at 7:40, and over to bus stop 2, right outside the building. I was definitely chilly, and hungry, I should have thought to eat more! I got to Animal Kingdom right as they were letting people in for the Extra Magic Hour, and was soon on my way over to Asia!

IMG_2289.jpg


IMG_2290.jpg


We all know where I was heading! Kali River Rapids!!! Bahahaha…so not, that would be FREEZING!!! I hobbled my way over to Expedition Everest for some early morning rides! I went straight into the ride, and rode twice, back to back, once in the front car, and once in the back car! HECK YES! Didn’t even have to ask for it! I rode with the same party of three each time too, so it was kinda like I knew them, baha!

IMG_2291.jpg


Gotta love that early morning adrenaline. With two rides done, I was le burr, so I took my time in the gift shop, and honestly, almost bought some gloves, but just because I’m buying them in Disney doesn’t mean they’re worth $15.00. Haha. I also found one of Danielle’s friends kickin around!

IMG_2292.jpg


I had more than enough time to kill, and figured I would spend some time visiting characters today, especially since I had a friend say “tell Goofy I say hi” randomly, so I had to get her a post card from him saying Hi back, right? I kinda just wandered through Africa, I didn’t really want to do the Safari, and I was super hungry, so naturally, when I saw Pizzafari was serving breakfast, I stopped in!

Doing the unthinkable and spending early park time in a QS restaurant #cold #disney​

Yup. I did it. It was still the extra magic hour, and I was eating….REALLY?! THAT’S LIKE SLEEPING IN! NUMBER TWO RULE OF NOT DOINGS IN DISNEY WORLD!!! Lawl. I was cold. And hungry. I got the Bounty Platter!

IMG_2293.jpg


It was super good, the regular Disney breakfasts. I ate most of the eggs, and definitely ate the bacon, the French toast strips, and the breakfast potatoes.

Dining Review: Pizzafari
4/5
-Super good food
-Quick and easy service
-Nice choices
-Lots of space
-It was warm inside.

With myself warmed up, and my stomach full, I checked the times guide for character greetings, and then headed out of Pizzafari, and over towards Dinoland! I figured I had time for one meet and greet over here, and then would head back to Camp Minnie Mickey for some fun times over there, so I jumped into Russell & Dug’s line. They did end up leaving for a treat right as I got there, but came back out pretty quickly, and surprisingly, there were a lot of parents in line that had no idea who they were in line for, it was odd, but I guess it’s the kids that count, right? While we waited, there were a few ducks in the little pond thing beside the line, and at one point, they started flying, and were going under the roof of the meet and greet area, like, right above our heads, and the handler started yelling “DUCK! DUCK!” and then joked that she knew why they were called that. Ha!

IMG_3878.jpg


IMG_3879.jpg


Super cute! I got kisses from both of them (well, more of a slurp from Dug haha) and hugs and some signatures before saying thank you and moving on. Now, we all know I’m headed back to Camp Minnie Mickey, and if you know me, you know why, it was nearing 10:00am, and I wanted to get a great seat for some Lion King time! I was within the first group of people at the door, and managed to get a first row (behind the wheelchair seating) seat! Heck yes! Naturally, I sat in the Elephant section (it’s become home to me, but I plan on going Giraffe or Warthog next time to get a better angle for the dancers, bahah!) and waited for the show to begin!


IMG_3882.jpg


IMG_3884.jpg


IMG_3886.jpg


Naturally, as soon as the “Can’t Wait to Be King” bit started and everyone starts coming out from all sides of you (another reason I love the Elephant section) I nearly started crying, I couldn’t believe I was getting to watch the show again, and was praying that it wouldn’t actually close in Jan *super sad face*

IMG_3897.jpg


IMG_3898.jpg


The Tumble Monkeys were specifically feisty feeling today! There was one that kept looking out to the crowd, making eye contact, and then would turn around and “shake” his bum to the music, on the beat. The same one also did the “smoochie” “toddlers and tiaras” face at one point. The one where they put their fist under their chin, nodding their head and making a kissy face, HA! I definitely laughed out loud and wished someone else would have seen it and understood, it was hilarious!

IMG_3899.jpg


IMG_3902.jpg


IMG_3903.jpg


IMG_3908.jpg


IMG_3917.jpg


UUUUGGGGGGHHHH. SO much love. The dancers were incredible today, I love them both! Also, you’ll notice a serious lack of pictures, and yes, I don’t have that many. I couldn’t figure out what setting I had it on in Sept to get the good pictures, and was playing around with the settings a bunch but couldn’t end up figuring it out. Boo.

IMG_3922.jpg


IMG_3924.jpg


All I have in my notes for the show after the Monkey bit is: “Dead”

Clearly I was emotional, and dying, and loving every moment of the show. Seriously, it’s amazing. I really hope that they don’t close it for long (if it is closed in January) I love it so much!! The show ended and I figured I’d go see some more characters for a bit, and then come back for another showing of FOTLK later! On the way out, there was a huge crowd of people, and Camp Minnie Mickey does bottle neck pretty horribly when trying to get in and out in a big group, so it was super crowded. Now, I was attempting to weave through people, without being obnoxious or getting in the way, and that’s when it happened, the broken toe got stepped on. EFFF. It seriously hurt worse than anything. Ugh. Truth, I was wearing sandals, but I couldn’t wear real shoes, and it hurt, I was not impressed.

Aaaaand the broken toe gets stepped on…was waiting for that #painful


 
When I saw the update's title I thought maybe you skipped FoLK! :rotfl:

Ouch!! Sorry about that toe!
 
I LOVE your pictures of FOTLK!!!! Amazing!

The first showing is ALWAYS the best - the cast has a ton of energy because it's the first show!

While you prefer the elephant section, I prefer the lion section. RAWR. Hahaha!

Ouch! That sucks about someone stepping on your toe :(
 
Ahhhh.... FOLK! :love:

My favorite show at Disney. I could watch that show over and over. I love checking out all the costumes and trying to figure out which animal each one is. I also love watching the Tumble Monkeys dance because, well, they can't dance and it's quite amusing to see them try! I really hope it's still open when I go in March.

Oh, and :thumbsup2 for back to back rides on EE! It's one of my new favorites after last trip. I'll get to that pretty soon in my TR.

I don't blame you for stopping if you are hungry even if it's during early park hours. I know if I don't eat, I get a headache and am grumpy. Sometimes you have to sacrifice! :rotfl:

Thanks!! I didn't get that many good ones this trip, but tons in Sept! I usually really like the first show of the day, but I later went to the 2pm one, and it was hands down the best one I've ever seen! I definitely enjoy the Lion Section, it is rather good looking, ahaha!!!

UGH! My original plan had me literally just watching the show all day, I definitely could have sat there for that much time!! Oh my goodness, my Mom pointed out the fire eater dancing in the finale, and that's awesome to watch too bahaha.

IT WILL BE. ....I'm having faith.....I'm assuming it will close sometime mid March, I'd assume they'd want it open for the time that all the Spring break-ers come out to play. I love EE, Paige and I got 6 rides in a row on it in Sept and are planning on breaking that record in Feb, so excited!!

It was just so dang COLD!! I couldn't handle being out in it anymore haha
 
Since I can’t get through a Disney trip without meeting the Hundred Acre Wood gang, and they were on the way over to the other meet and greet, and I had to get a post card signed for a friend, I headed in there first. I love that meet and greet, you stand in 1 line, get 3 characters, and no one EVER knows that it’s there, so there’s seriously no line, ever!

IMG_3928.jpg


Pooh was up first, he was cute, signed my book for me and took a picture and gave me some kisses!

IMG_3927.jpg


IMG_3927.jpg


Eeyore was up next, and I asked him to sign the postcard for my old roommate who is absolutely obsessed, she has like, everything Eeyore, a giant collection in her room, so of course he’s her favorite.

IMG_3929.jpg


IMG_3930.jpg


IMG_3931.jpg


He was pretty bland, guess he was feeling gloomy today! Haha, just signed the post card, took the picture, and sent me on my way. Oh well, my favorite was up next!

IMG_3932.jpg


Tigger jumped right up to me and gave me a huge long hug, and we bounced our way back into the area so that he could sign my book too! Yay!

IMG_3933.jpg


He was super energetic, and danced with me while we were taking all the pictures, then he got his handler’s attention, and motioned to the two of us, and then drew a heart in the air around us! Yay! SO CUTE

Tigger called me his girlfriend! Heck yes! #childhoodmemories

When I was little I used to go around telling everyone that Tigger was my boyfriend, so it’s always a great moment when he says he loves me or that we’re in love or anything, it’s super cute! We reluctantly said good bye to each other, and I was on my way out of the meet and greet and continued over to my next stop in Dinoland, where the line for Goofy & Pluto was relatively long, but I had to get something signed, so I waited anyways.

They did leave for a break shortly after I got in line, I knew they’d be right back (literally) but clearly a bunch of other people didn’t, and the line shortened quite a bit. I took some time for some pin trading too!

Traded for a Fast Pass logo pin! #pintrading #disneyworld

And yes, I do have pictures of all my pin trades, but they’ll come at the end of the report, as I didn’t think to document then as I went along haha! I swear I’ll get better with this pin trading eventually! Goofy & Pluto were shortly back from their dog biscuit break. (OH! Can we talk for a second that when they left, the handler’s were saying that they were going for a chocolate biscuit break, and would be right back...uhm…bad excuse…they’re DOGS….dogs can’t eat chocolate…)

ANYWAYS, I jumped up and said that a friend of mine back home had said hi to them, so to say Hi back, if they could sign my postcard, and they of course did, and played along, they were super playful and flirty, full of hugs and kisses and dancing.

IMG_3934.jpg


IMG_3935.jpg


Pluto also made a point of spinning me around to smell my flower and said that it was very nice (to the extent he could haha)

IMG_3936.jpg


Yay! Super cute and lovely, I think it was the best “fab 5” character greet I’ve had in a while! I always like it when characters are greeting together, I think it makes it more fun than when it’s one, then the next, then the next, or they’re by themselves. I dunno, my opinion! With my characters of the park done, I headed back to Camp Minnie Mickey to catch another show!


 
I love the Christmas outfits for Pooh and the gang!

I met Pluto and Goofy at that same spot when I was there in November. I think it's the best place to meet Pluto. The lines usually not too bad and it's covered so you are not waiting in the sun like at MK. I had an awesome greet also! Goofy saw all my Pluto gear and got "mad" at me. It was a lot of fun.
 
Hey friends!! I just seriously have been blessed with some SERIOUS pixie dust int he last hour and figured I should share that with you! (and some more fun stuff!)

Since we're so close to our trip (1 month!) I've been keeping a strict eye on making ADR's, the main one being for Be Our Guest of course. I wanted to eat there for both lunch and dinner, so I've been checking DAILY, multiple times, on multiple days of our trip, to see if we could get anything. About an hour ago I was all, "I'll check again!" And poof! pixiedust: THERE WAS A SPOT AVAILABLE ON THE LAST DAY OF OUR TRIP!! TALK ABOUT A MAGICAL WAY TO END A WEEK!!!! AHHH!! I'M DYING! DYYYYYYYIIINNNGGG

So, naturally, since my ADR pixie dust levels were so high, I figured it would be worth it to jump on over to expedia to check on flights:drive: lo and behold, they had DROPPED NEARLY $100.00!!! :scared1: FROM THIS MORNING!! :banana::worship:

Naturally, we're all booked in and I only paid $1095.00 for both of our flights, AND we get in at 3:30pm in the afternoon...uhm...yes please... let's just go now! :moped:

In non-Disney news, I have another dance competition coming up (Feb 9 &10th) and am getting very excited/nervous about that! We've complete re-done the Cha-cha & rumba routines, and added in a bunch of new steps to the tango, waltz & quickstep! I'll be sure to report back with some pictures and fun times!! (and for those of you who are wondering, yes, my toe actually does still hurt every so often....:rolleyes2)

Hope that your weeks are going fantastically and that everything is full of magic and happiness! I've got a great feeling today (obviously) and I hope it can spread to all of you!! 2013 really is going to be my year, and I have a feeling it's going to be the best trip yet!!

About an hour ago I was all, "I'll check again!" And poof! pixiedust: THERE WAS A SPOT AVAILABLE ON THE LAST DAY OF OUR TRIP!! TALK ABOUT A MAGICAL WAY TO END A WEEK!!!! AHHH!! I'M DYING! DYYYYYYYIIINNNGGG

So, naturally, since my ADR pixie dust levels were so high, I figured it would be worth it to jump on over to expedia to check on flights:drive: lo and behold, they had DROPPED NEARLY $100.00!!! :scared1: FROM THIS MORNING!! :banana::worship:

Naturally, we're all booked in and I only paid $1095.00 for both of our flights, AND we get in at 3:30pm in the afternoon...uhm...yes please... let's just go now! :moped:

In non-Disney news, I have another dance competition coming up (Feb 9 &10th) and am getting very excited/nervous about that! We've complete re-done the Cha-cha & rumba routines, and added in a bunch of new steps to the tango, waltz & quickstep! I'll be sure to report back with some pictures and fun times!! (and for those of you who are wondering, yes, my toe actually does still hurt every so often....:rolleyes2)

Hope that your weeks are going fantastically and that everything is full of magic and happiness! I've got a great feeling today (obviously) and I hope it can spread to all of you!! 2013 really is going to be my year, and I have a feeling it's going to be the best trip yet!!

Awesome pixiedust:!

I was able to score a BOG reservation yesterday too! What day and time are you going? I got one at 7:30 pm on 3/1!

I'm not even going to look at flights because I've already booked. I don't want to know if they go down in price. I did get a very good price because I'm flying on a Thursday and Tuesday so I guess I won't worry about it!
 
I love the Christmas outfits for Pooh and the gang!

I met Pluto and Goofy at that same spot when I was there in November. I think it's the best place to meet Pluto. The lines usually not too bad and it's covered so you are not waiting in the sun like at MK. I had an awesome greet also! Goofy saw all my Pluto gear and got "mad" at me. It was a lot of fun.

They're so adorable!! And I agree, it's probably one of the shorter waits for Pluto & Goofy, I think in general AK has shorter character waits (minus camp minnie mickey) the lines never seem to be that bad. Ahah!! That's too cute! Love it when that kind of stuff happens!

AAAHHHH!!!! We're in at 7:45 on 3/1!!! That's totally awesome!! Haha!!

Baha, I know, I wanted flights to go even further below what I paid ($540ish each) it just kills me because Sept 2011 we paid $380 for a roundtrip flight from Canada! That trip only cost $893.00 each!! *sigh* if only times were that good again!
