Auntie SPRATT SENT PIXIE DUST LIVE!/NEW7.29! Crystal Palace Lunch

So the next text from my brother this morning:


"Are you sending an outfit?"

Auntis Spratt: "Yep."

Ferris: "Just checking ;)"

Auntie Spratt: "Well, you can't wear a fairy esnsemble to a princess dinner..."

Ferris: "Ok, well I need to get it before we head out, I guess. I shall talk to the desk and take her to the pool, I think."

Auntie Spratt: "No, it will be there when you get back."

Ferris: "ok."

Methinks that #A. Ferris is enjoying this
#B. LP would have had a princess ensemble for dinner Auntie Spratt or no! (But I'm not sure they would realize how fun it is if I hadn't sent out the Tink ensemble...;))
 
The last live report will be tomorrow. I will then follow up with Photopass and the big bad boy camera when I get them.

I have really enjoyed doing this, and I can see that there are some readers - thanks to Laura C, Jenjolt, MickeyNIcki and Grand Biscuit, as well as newcomer...oh, pooh. I have to go back and look. is it Blancky? Nope... BURLY! Anywho, I appreciate anyone who has read along with their trip.....

For the Grand Finale -

WHICH PRINCESS WILL LP BE TONIGHT?!?!?!
 
I'm looking forward to the update. It seems like the the time has gone by so fast!
 

I've been lurking from work and finally got to post!! Love all the wonderful surprises you arranged, can't wait to see the princess meal!! Also I hope you get to go along on their next trip!!!:goodvibes
 
Yesterday was very rough at work - sorry for the lack of updates.

It is coming!

No pics yet....:eek:

But I'm sure they will be coming, too...

The Bueller family is flying home right now, after an amazing journey together!

On its way -

Mrs. Spratt.

PS - Mr. Spratt and I were chatting this morning (he gets to be at home today :headache:) and I mentioned that it is a very good friend of ours third birthday - well, Mr. Spratt said, "I thought we were done with her brithday and Halloween!" I replied, "Darling - different child." He did have the good grace to blush!
 
These live updates have been fantastic I have really really enjoyed being on this trip with you and with them!!!!! You were the best aunt ever!!!! Thank you for letting us come on this trip with you!

Jen - thank you for the lovely compliment! I think I am experiencing my first round of PDD - Post Disney Depression. I am having a REALLY hard time finishing this, as it means the trip is REALLY OVER.

I will though - I promise - I can't clean out my (full) text messages until I do! :rotfl:
 
I just found you and you're the best aunt ever!! It has been neat reading along and I look forward to the last little bit and pictures.

I think she was Ariel! She's my favorite :goodvibes

I just read through this whole thread, and WOW!

And I wanted to let ya know that I totally believe in pixie dust karma :wizard:, and I know that you will be enjoying your own magical WDW trip with your own little one in the future :goodvibes:

Can't wait for the conclusion and more pics! :thumbsup2
 
ACK!! I left my phone at home - and all of the texts are in it!

Sigh.

I can't do it from memory - I wasn't on the trip!:goodvibes

But - I spoke with Ferris yesterday (they are home safe, thanks!) and he is working on having his photos ready for tomorrow...

I also got to see photopassic evidence of LP, Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore - it might be the bigggest pile of cute I have ever seen!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mrs. Spratt

Thanks! I am a big believer in Karma, too - and there is plenty of Pixie Dust in my life! I've gotta' Bazooka full of Pixie Dust, and I'm not afraid to use it!

I love creating wonderful experiences - it is so much fun for me, and LP is so much fun to give to - who doesn't want to hear, "Thank you for my BAY-be!"
 
Gah, how could I have missed this??? Why?? Tell me, I'm oblivious some of the time. And live in a cave the rest of the time. :rolleyes:

Where do I begin? The cool background info, complete with a brother whose family is just too cute for words, to the amazing photo he took of your wedding, complete with the old fashioned $2.50 wedding dress! And a BFF who dyes his eyebrows and beard to match the bridal party dresses? And parents who dress up for Mardi Gras. How I'd love to party with you people! :banana:

And I'd love to be able to create costumes like you can. I'm already thinking how lame I'd be on Pirate night for a cruise that isn't until Dec 2010! :eek: I remember going to the Renaissance Faire and getting all green with envy over their costumes. You do good work. :thumbsup2

My vote for the SIL nickname would be SW: Sloan White. Leave off the /S part. Of course, the trip is over and the point is moot. :laughing:

The good thing about coming late to the party is that I got the opportunity to read it in its entirety, and you have to be the Best.Auntie.Evah. Bring on the pixie dust cannon, now that you've apparently worn out the flame thrower and bazooka!

I always enjoy vicarious trip reports, especially those that are happy. :cloud9:
Oh, and I do believe in naps. I took one earlier. ;)
 
Previously, Wednesday night…

The Bueller family, after being feted with flowers (accipurposely)…..were off the DHS!

Ferris: “Ok. So I did some hot tub time…Girls napped. (Ferris woke up that morning with sore legs, too!) We all dressed up (I had a personal tour of the 14th floor suites while waiting on the ladies.)

Its raining and we waited 30 minutes for a bus and then took a cab….The Hollywood is WET! We have a corner booth at the Derby and you would not know we were not in the original except for the patrons! Having the cob, then duck and grapefruit cake for dessert….wish ya were here.”

Well, who do you think told ‘em to order grapefruit cake?;)

Ferris: “Dinner at the Derby….Eh. And the grapefruit cake so-so. But a great Manhattan. Sloan White’s steak was good and the cob salad was rad. Now its time for the Little Mermaid Show.”

“Did Little Mermaid….crap. Did the Clubhouse she loved it!!! Now its Star Tours for me!”

“Saw where Sloan White interned…cute 50’s diner. (SW was a CP CM at the ‘50’s Prime Time Diner. She was a hostess.) All other rides have hour wait – headed home.”

Isn’t Ferris being the best, texting me all of this? And yes, he knows I’m writing a trip report, but I never thought he would be such a thoughtful content provider.

Thursday Morning:

Ferris: “Hi, well our Princess is T I R E D ! Last night’s adventures ran super late….home by 12.30 pm, and she was up until 1 at least being manic. She loved Disney’s Playhouse. Essentially it’s a disco for toddlers. I have video of our dancing queen you will adore. Today’s plan is to let her sleep in cause there will be no nap. Sloan is done with work in just a few hours. So LP and I shall do pool time until SW is ready for Epcot. Then its family time until Princess Dinner. Finishing off the evening with Illluminations.”

So then in the most un-anticipated move of the entire trip, Ferris asks if she is getting a surprise from Auntie Tink…(already posted, along with one of the cutest moments EVER… “LP, where you headed?” LP: “Princess Dinner.” At 10.40 am. In her jammies, shoes, and sunglasses….a girl after my own heart!:rotfl:

So since Ferris knows, (and he “volunteered” to go get it from the concierge – I told him it was all set and it would be there before they left.) I guess y’all can know, too…

Who will the Littlest Princess be?

And of course, Auntie Spratt made the headband, made sure the ribbon to be a choker was in there, and…of course, CINDY NEEDS SHOES!

DSC01974.jpg


Which didn’t work. :headache: But LP had her silver flats (Thanks, GM Bueller!) and I’m pretty sure that is what she wore…I DON’T HAVE PICS YET. But I will.:goodvibes

I asked FB about Star Tours – “Way cooler set design than ride….A 6.5 out of 10 for the ride.”

They went to the Contemporary Pool for 2 hours (no hopping in my family!) and by that time, Sloan White (Thanks, BriarRose!) was done with work for the week – YIPPEEE! They got the costume, (no presentation pics from Ferris – Booo! I’m betting he didn’t give them time to present it….) got dressed, and headed off to Epcot!

Now LP slept until 10.30 am, but they were taking a no-nap calculated risk. And risky it was.

I asked FB if the dress fit – “No time for Dress rehearsal.”

Family Day at Epcot (and their last day at WDW.)

Ferris: “Back at Nemo….Soarin’ has a 75 min wait and no more fast passes…”

“Now at lunch in Paris…”

Note: I don’t know if the concierge arranged this or what, but he had NO PROBLEM adjusting reservations. At all. Or getting reservations out of thin air. He is called Ferris Bueller for a reason…(And no, just like Jeannie in the movie, I don’t have the same mad skills….but I have my own set of mad skills that work just fine. Mr. Spratt would definitely say that spending is one of them!)

Anyway, back at Bistro de Paris (I think!?!? It could have been Chefs de France…I haven’t spoken to FB to get accurate details yet…):confused3

“While it is not actually France….it could easily be argued they have the tastiest food in the Kingdom. It’s always yum when butter is a primary ingredient.”

Don’t you just love recipes that begin “first you take a stick of butter….”

And now, for the funniest text I received (it may not be funny to you, but I have a sick sense of humour…)

3.31 pm “I do NOT recommend beer and French food before Mission Space!” :rotfl:

Well, no ****, Sherlock! Being the good DISer that I am , I immediately asked Green or Orange --

“Orange! Dad would have died.” (Yoda, the beloved Mr. Bueller, is claustrophobic. No spelunking as a family for us!) And, when I talked to him a bit later, he did say that he had NO CLUE that Orange was so intense…..

3.42 pm “on Spaceship Earth now…Still feel sick.”:confused:

4.02 pm “Still feel sick.”:headache:

5.03pm (he must be feeling better) “Just saw Tigger, Pooh, and E…they loved it!”
Ok – so the characters loved it? Sloan White and Littlest Princess loved it?

Then this: “Even the people in line were going gaga.”
Hmm. Sounds like we need more info on this…..

AND then, FINALLY
“Ok, we made it….she is changing.” (I wish her Auntie Fairy GodMomma could be there for the transformation!)

5.41 pm (6.41pm DST) “We are checked in and just waiting for the announcement of the Royal Bueller Family!”

Note the exclamation mark?

And my third favorite text of the trip….
FB: “If I see one more Hollister shirt….” I laughed out loud when I got this one. My co-workers thought I was crazy.

SO… how did the outfit turn out?
FB: “The shoes were a no go. But her outfit made people go “Ohhhhh” and “Ahhhhh.” Including me. It’s kinda’ creepy like the beauty pageants for children.”

But don’t forget – I still think that if I hadn’t sent a costume for tonight, Ferris would have purchased one in the park….we’ll never know, though. He will DENY DENY DENY until the bitter end. :rolleyes1

But we know…..


7.30 pm DST (and their reservation was for 7!): FB: “So we have met 5 princesses and one Scandinavian Queen….our server. LOL.”

7.42pm DST FB: “We ran a calculated risk with no nap today….And she is fading. We are going to see Illuminations…then it is back to the hotel where we lived Happily Ever After….”

I called my father after the last text, and told him, “I won!” He inquired how…all I can say is that my Big Brother had a GREAT time at the World, and both his wife and I were worried – hence the planning, my work to make sure that there was Plenty of Pixie Dust…and I succeeded! FB also called Momma and Daddy (yes, I’m 35 – I’m also Texan…be quiet!) all the time, and Yoda was tickled at how much fun Ferris was having watching his daughter have such a great time.

8.10 DST FB: “So she just hung out with the lovely Miss Belle for 5 min….Another unscripted magic moment…Made me very happy.”
(Isn’t he great!)

8.43 DST FB: “Sitting in front of Illuminations…perfect center.”

9.32 DST FB: “Great show! Great ending to a terrific Disney week!”
(My brother using the word Terrific? WOW!)

They had an easy flight, and made it home safely on Friday.

Pics to come when I get them!
 
Woo Hoo!! Can't wait for the pictures!! You sure did a fantastic job of making sure there were so many exciting surprises and great memories!!! :goodvibes

Next time you HAVE to go with them!! You could both be different princesses!!:goodvibes
 
I am glad that they had such a magical week! I sure hope you get to go with them next time-you deserve it :goodvibes
