A Wedding at Disney! My friend get hitched! Tripie complete 9/3 with TONS of pics!!!

[disneygirlinnj]

ok so where did I leave off? Ah! We had just finished up with the American Adventure!

I think my dad headed off ahead of us to give our name at Le Cellier and we took our time walking over to Canada. There was a squirrel at the door of Le Cellier that decided to be a rebel and stole a funnel cake that was sitting on the bottom of a stroller..lol

We noticed that the Oh! Canada! movie was about to start and we had some time to kill before our table was ready so we headed over there and quickly watched the show. Still one of our favorite 360 movies in the parks now that they changed it!

We headed into Le Cellier and were excited! My fam hasn't eaten there but Sarah and Holly have. Now let the gluttony begin..seriously. I haven't eaten that much in FOREVER! But it was all (well mostly) sooooo delicious!

To start, I had to try the Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup. I thought it was amazing. I liked how it was thick like a chowder and it had great flavor. My dad liked it too but I think he didn't expect it to be as thick as a chowder? We also had an order of the Tomato Stack to try it since the waiter raved about it. Eh? It was good? But nothing fantabulous! I think we left half of it since we were devouring the soup!

For entrees, we all had the Filet Mignon. I asked for no mushrooms and had the mashed potatoes instead of the risotto. I'm pretty sure thats what we all ordered. It was SOOOO good! I couldn't get enough of it! I definitely stuffed myself to finish the whole thing! We also ordered an order of the mac & cheese to try it and that was yummy too!

So I've been hearing about their amazing s'mores dessert so we ordered one. umm...what's the big fuss? None of us really liked it at all! I mean it looked pretty...lol

We would definitely eat here again. The steaks were delicious, just as good if not better than the high end steak houses in nyc and nj by us. Ten times better than Ruth's Chris! I hate that place! lol The service was also great. I wish I got our waiters name. He was really helpful and fun!

As we were heading out of Le Cellier, Illuminations was just about to start. DDad and DSM decided they were gonna beat the crowd and head back before the chaos of leaving the park. So Sarah, Holly, and I stayed for a little bit and watched the rest of the show.

We then all realized we're really tired and Sarah and I had a LONG day ahead of us the next day so we called it a night as well.

We said our goodbyes and then I headed over to the monorail to head back to the Poly. When I got back I ran into the GCH and grabbed a tea and water (my throat was starting to tickle again!).

And FINALLY that's the end of day 2!!!! Hopefully day 3 wont take as long! GEEZ!

 

[hlrababy]

Yay!!! You got day 2 finished!!!!!!!

 

[Camster0307]

OMG - a new installment!

Glad to hear you enjoyed LeCellier - it's one of our faves! And you're dissing Ruth Chris'? I haven't been to one in YEARS, but I thought they used to be good. Now, my favorite all-time steak restaurant - Capital Grille!

 

[karajeboo]

I totally agree about Ruth's Chris! We love Le Cellier Looking forward to the next installment!

haha... hope you didn't hit your head when you fainted! Yeah...I'm dissing Ruth's Chris. I'm really not a big fan at all of them. I've fallen in love with Fleming's Steakhouse now. It's the high end steak house owned by Outback. and i think it's a million times better than Ruth's Chris!

I totally agree about Ruth's Chris! We love Le Cellier Looking forward to the next installment!

mm....I want steak now... hahahaha

now I want to have a Dinner ADR at Lecelier...great pictures...thanks

me tooooo! Thanks!

 

[karajeboo]

OK, I've gotta ask.... When do we get to the wedding? And wedding pics?

 

[disneygirlinnj]

Yay I'm finally on Day 3!! Lets all do a little happy dance... haha!

So the night before I had tried to lay out all of my clothes for the pirate and princess party... just so i dont forget anything! I packed all my pirate stuff into a backpack when I woke up and got dressed and watched some more Today Show while the rest of the fam got ready.

Today we had breakfast at the Grand Floridian Cafe. We were considering doing Kona again but wanted to change it up and DDad and DSM really like the GFC. So off we went on the monorail with me lugging everything over there with me. We were seated right away and had a GREAT breakfast! I love this place, honestly probably better than Kona. I always get the American breakfast - Two eggs served with biscuits, bacon, sausage and breakfast potatoes and your choice of juice. Yummmmy! Their breakfast potatoes are awesome. And I had good coffee again. yayyy!

So after stuffing our faces and OD'ing on coffee, we hobbled our way out of the GFC and back on the monorail to the MK. I had been texting and calling Sarah during breakfast and she had just told us that she just got into the park too and was waiting over to the left of the security bag check. We quickly spotted her and the first item on our agenda was to find my family's two bricks outside the MK entranceway. It was a little harder than last time (and not as entertaining!) but we found them fairly quickly, snapped a few pics, and then headed over to the lockers to stowe our pirate outfits for later.

After getting all that settled, we headed towards Adventureland b/c it has now turned into my tradition that I have to do Pirates and see the Pirate Tutorial as one of the first things of the day. We had hardly stepped foot into adventureland when we spot... Rafiki!

He was pretty funny and played along with our 'adultness' and tried to leave with us after the picture was taken. The poor kids behind us probably almost freaked out. haha!

We realized that it was about time for the Pirate Tutorial so we grabbed a spot and waited a bit.

The show started and Mack came out to do his normal spiel. And is it?! YAYY!! It's the HOT Jack Sparrow! hehehehehe.... here are tons of pics ladies... enjoy...

ok that's enough for now i think.. lol

My dad and stpmom enjoyed the show and thought it was great (As did Sarah and I..haha). We then turned around and walked right into Pirates for the real thing. I really can't ever get sick of this ride!

The line for the Jungle Cruise was too long and there's nothing in this world that convince my father that he wants to see the Tiki Birds ever again, so we continued on our way towards Frontierland and ran into Peter Pan and Wendy.

So I hate to be un-Disney-like but.... Peter and Wendy were just NOT fun! They seemed ok with the group of teenagers before us. Not too talkative though. So Sarah and I went up to them, said hi, etc, etc and they were just not playing the role. They just wanted a picture taken, no words spoken, the end. Sarah even tried to joke with them with something corny like 'Guess what? I fly too! but i dont use pixiedust! I use airplanes!' and they pretty much rolled their eyes at her. HMPH! So oh well. We snapped our pic and kept on going.

As soon as we got into Frontierland, we saw Woody & Jesse!

We scoped out the scene at the two mountains in frontierland and decided to get Fastpasses for Thunder and ride Splash right away. So Sarah and I went to get the passes and then met the parents back on line at Splash.

Ok so.... WHEN did they change Splash to make sure that you get completely SOAKED?!?! When i went in December we got drenched and thought it was a freak accident. This time, Sarah and I sat in front with my parents int eh back and AGAIN...omg soooo soaked!

While we waited to dry off a little, we stopped by one of the ice cream stands to get my favorite...mickey sandwiches!! MMM!!! I wish I could have one of these every day!

After our little snack, we jumped on Thunder Mountain to dry off some more.

Sufficiently dried and tossed around, we continued our journey through Frontierland and hopped into the Country Bears for a little singalong. lol

After we got our bear fix, we headed to the Haunted Mansion. The parents had been on it since the refurb but honestly didn't notice anything different. figures! We had to point everything out to them.

We were getting a little hungry and our ADR for Tony's lunch was coming up so we started walking towards the front of the park. On the way we caught some of the parade.

Tony's actually wasn't that bad for lunch! I liked lunch there a lot better than I liked dinner. I had the panini special. I don't remember what was on it, except that there was prosciutto. And whenever there's prosciutto... I order it. haha! I'm slightly addicted! Sorry .... no pictures... i was too hungry and lazy! I forget what everyone else had but no one was disappointed! Impressive!

After lunch we headed back up Main Street for some more fun..

Mickey's Philharmagic was just letting people in so we ran in and grabbed some 3D glasses. I was also texting my friend Lisa (the bride!) and she was trying to run her way over to Philharmagic too but didn't make it in time. We enjoyed the show and then headed over to Small World since there wasn't a wait AT ALL!

While on the ride, Lisa texted and said they were also on the ride so when we got off, we waited for her fam to exit and we all finally got to see each other and say hi! Her parents were joking with mine that my dad better have already started saving up money for my Disney wedding. hehehe.. although they did say that it was around the same price as a normal NY and NJ wedding by us so that made my dad (and me!) feel a little better! hahaha! there's hope for my disney wedding still!

we chit chatted for a few more minutes and then said we'd meet up again for the pirate and princess party later that night. Lisa's fam wanted to still do fantasyland but the wait for everything was way too long so we headed back towards Liberty Square to finish that part of the park up.

I'm gonna have to take a break here though b/c it's 5pm and I need to go home!! Hopefully I'll be back soon with another update!!

 

[disneygirlinnj]

OK, I've gotta ask.... When do we get to the wedding? And wedding pics?

hahaha! day 4!!

 

[Camster0307]

Oooh - I love me some Capt. Jack!

Sorry about the grumps dressed as Wendy and Peter Pan! WTH? You're adults dressed as children - lighten up!

And Splash Mountain - I get soaked EVERY SINGLE TIME before we hit our first hill; it's usually the boat coming down the big drop at the time - we get their backwash!

 

[karajeboo]

I swear that same Wendy is ALWAUS there and she's so not fun! As for pics of Capt Jack? You can post them allllllllllll day long and I'll never complain! Seriously though, how is it that every pic I see of him he looks PERFECT?

 

[hlrababy]
