Barbie and Ken do Disney Trip Report COMPLETED!!

soooo happy to see the update...cant wait for more... You two look so happy and you are making me super excited to go to Disney!!!!! :) I think I will skip 50's Dining... I am think of Mama's for our ADR at MGM
 
Hi Blayne! Another great installment - even if you did run into some creeps and get the Grumps.

Can't wait for more - please don't keep us waiting so long this time!
 
Great update! Sorry about the creep though. I hate that! What bugs me the worst is the ones who "bump" into you by "accident"...and you wonder if it really was an accident...

Anyways, great pics. Loving your TR! We know you're busy, but keep it coming! ;) :thumbsup2
 

Yay! Great update Blayne :)

I cannot believe someone would get 40 fastpasses!! :eek: Absolutely insane! Gross gross gross to the guy looking down your shirt. DF and I had a similar experience at Prime Time too. We will NEVER go there again. We had a crummy server and we didn't really like the menu. We both got chicken caesar salads and the lettuce was rotten. So disgusting! So I feel your pain on that one. I cannot wait to hear more and see the Pirate and Princess party :goodvibes

By the way, your hair looks so cute w/ the curls in it :cutie:
 
Great report! We love RnR, too...awesome coaster! Love the loud music, takeoff and loops! FUN!

BTW -- We've eaten at 50sPTC and have only had ONE good server in all those visits. His name is Topher and we see him there even when he's not serving us. He's the best. The other three times have been blech. We won't be going back for quite some time.

Can't wait for more!
 
Thanks for the update!
I know how you feel about the characters...I always feel nervous when I get my picture taken too because I'm older than everyone else. But, I usually just shove my little sisters in the line so I don't feel quite so lame. :goodvibes

Can't wait for more!
 
Welcome back!!!! Pretty please don't make us wait that long again... Okay?????

1st of all- your hair is awesome! I LOVE it curly! It looks movie-starish! Can I have your autograph???? Maybe that's why creep face couldn't stop looking at you??? What a weirdo though... Creepy people are so weird... Glad you got away from him quick!

And so sad to hear about your 50's PTC experience. We love that place so much! I think I would have asked for another table. Even if it meant waiting another 20 minutes. That makes or breaks it for me!
 
Great trip report so far! I have spent most of the morning reading it and I love all the pics!
 
Ok, so I was just browsing and came across your trip report and I'M HOOKED! You have so much energy. Actully, I'm a bit like you when it comes to Disney. I'm going 4 weeks from today with my DH and 4 y/o DD. It will be DD's first trip and we are SO excited. I'm looking forward to hearing more about your trip. Keep it coming!

Sue princess: Joe pirate: Morgan (4) princess: Twins (1) Carter pirate: & Peyton princess:

(The twins are staying home with the grandma's. We'll bring them back in a few more years when they are a little older. This trip will be all about Morgan. She's been such a trooper since Carter and Peyton arrived in 10/05)
 
I'm so glad you are back! I missed your updates and love the latest one :goodvibes

Don't keep us waiting so long anymore!
 
I am LOVING your report. I just found it today and have gotten no work done, and just read your whole tale so far.

I LOVE looking at WDW through a 1st timer! Although we've been our fair share, I still get very excited each trip and look forward to trying / seeing something new.

Can't wait to read more!!! Hurry up!!!!
 
Great update, Blayne! I'm so glad you LOVED RnRC and ToT! They are two of my very favorites!

We've eaten at Prime Time a few times, and sometimes it's been fun, and sometimes not so much. The last trip we had a terrible server, and it really pretty much ruined it for us, though the food was good. I think we'll give that place a rest for a while!

Looking forward to more!

Hi! Thank you. Yeah I just loved both of those rides. Unfortunately that was the last time we got to ride TOT as you will see in the rest of my TR. Also you will find out what my REAL favorite ride turned out to be! I couldn't agree with you more. It was the server and the location that really blew it for us. But I promise the meals get WAYY better from here!

I ate at 50's Prime Time last week, and I must say, I'm not a fan of it either. Though I ALMOST ordered that appetizer with the herb cheese, and now after seeing that picture I'm kicking myself. Oh well.

Love the TR!

First off I just want to say that the picture in your signature is SO CUTE! Anyways, I'm happy to hear that it wasn't just me. The herb cheese was great however, so I can't complain about that. It was just so different then I thought it would be. It isn't mozzarella, it's like a creamy cheese on the inside that you spread on the french bread.. it was delectable! Which appetizer did you end up ordering??

Yay! You're alive! Glad that you loved the thrill rides. I love the character photos, especially the one with Woody. Sorry that you didn't like 50's Prime Time Cafe. We've always had such wonderful experiences there. In a positive light, that's what makes Disney great though, there's something for everyone, Can't wait to read more!

Hey pumpkin! Yes I am alive and kicking! Oooh I just love Toy Story.. I have to say I liked Buzz a lot better than Woody, Woody was just so TALL, it was quite intimidating! lol Maybe someday we will give 50's Prime Time another try, but I think we are all set for now!!

Thank you for the update, I was getting worried there and close to calling in a search party for you. I liked your pictures at MGM, did you feel it was easy to get turned around in that park? Cause I couldn't make heads or tails of where I was at half the time.
Sorry your meal was poopy, I was planning on going there in Dec, I think I changed my mind.
I think the line for RnR attracts the wierd ones, that's their hangout.
Can't wait for your next installment. BTW, hows the whole job thing?

Hey! Nope, no need for the search party! I felt horrible keeping everyone waiting that long, but I honestly just couldn't seem to get on here! About MGM, I totally felt that way at first. Todd and I were so uncoordinated because side streets that seemed unimportant ended up being REALLY REALLY important, but after we went there 8 billion times we kind of got the hang of it!! Don't change your mind about PTC because of me! If I had done that with a lot of restaurants, my whole vacation would have been ruined. For example - just wait until our Mama Melrose meal which ended up being one of the best, but I almost cancelled it a million times! Try it! Who knows, you may love 50's! I promise I will update you all on the job thing as soon as I know for sure - right now though, I will keep all of you in the dark!! MUHAHAHA!

Blayne welcome back!!!Glad to hear all is ok.Busy is good.You must update us on your job situation. Glad to hear you had fun on ToT and RnRC,sorry sci-fi not so good.Love the character pics.Cant wait to see Monsters Inc. characters, we have never timed it right and I love Monsters inc..What is this business going back for a Nap. Naps are for kids, not young adults.This is Disney--go go go!!!Cant wait to hear the rest-please update SOON!!!

Hey! I WILL update everyone on my job situation.. i promise! Prime Time was the one I went to that was bad (Sci Fi was wonderful - but more of that at another date!) Monster Inc characters were cute, but not that friendly because their costumes are so big I think it's a little difficult for them to move and see. We had to go for a nap, we had the grumpy grumps and had the Pirate and Princess Party that night till midnight! SHEESH! haha

So sorry you didn't like 50's Prime Time. We loved it. Manny, our waiter was a hoot!
Glad you enjoyed RnR & ToT. Those are our faves, too. Just an FYI - If you miss your fastpass time, you can still use them. Disney just doesn't want you using them earlier than your marked time, but you can use them later than the marked time. At least, that's what the CM told us.
Waiting for more!
Barb

See, I wish WE had had a good waiter! I bet it would have made it great.. well if we didn't have to sit in that stinkhole corner! I NEVER KNEW THAT YOU COULD USE THEM. OH MAN AM I ANGRY! RRRRR! We could have had MUCH MORE fun! lol NOW YOU SUCKERS TELL ME! RAWR!

Too funny about the characters. I remember way back when I went to Universal Studios Hollywood and the character Fievel motioned me over. I was so excited I ran over and had to squat down to hug him. Well, he wouldn't let me go and I think he was trying to "cop a feel" although I didn't realize until I walked away. I laugh hysterically about it now, being felt up by Fievel. I've never felt that way about the Disney characters tho.

Too bad about your 50s Prime Time experience. Your server can really make the difference in your whole dining experience. Our first time we had the greatest server. He was a young Jerry Lewis type guy and was absolutely hysterical. I was in tears with laughter. Our 2nd time, I was so excited and we got stuck in a back room with a boring "aunt". Oh well. We are willing to try it out again though.

I look forward to more of your posts!

Omg. I used to love Fievel .. I would have totally let Fievel feel me up. Just kidding - Im not a rodent pervert I promise! That is such a funny story. Wait till you hear my Rafiki story - you will just die! To bad the story is so many days away - its a funny one! Gosh darn boring aunt's - i had a creepy uncle. He was a little incestuous - i swear it! haha

Thanks for the new installment. I'm sorry you had such a bad time at 50's PTC. Caylin and I are trying out Sci Fi on our Septermber trip. Did you go there? I'll check your itenerary again.

Again, thank you, now I can sleep tonight knowing you are okay

Hi! SCI FI WAS FANTASTIC. Oops, I hope I don't spoil the surprise. Oh my gosh - you will just love it. I honestly have to admit, it was hands down the COOLEST restaurant I have EVER been to. Loved it! - Hows THAT for a reccomendation!!

THERE YOU ARE!!!! I must admitt, I was getting awfully worried about you, just as so many others were!! Ewwww to the creepy Rockin Roller Coaster guy. Glad you liked the ride though it really is a thrill isnt it?? Sorry about your dining experience, I have never eaten there but I have heard mixed reviews. Character meetings, now those are FUN!! Every time we go, Brer Bear tries to take me away; DBF is not a fan! Glad you got an update up, I will be anxiously awaiting more!

Here I am! Don't be worried. I have a big bad Todd to protect me! Eww I know that creepy man was horrid. I hated that. What a grossy. He ended up sitting behind us on the rollercoaster too, so I had this strange sensation that he was trying to smell my hair or something. What a weirdo! It was a great ride though! OOH I agree - character meetings are fun! .. sometimes weird, but completely fun!

So glad you came back to us! I was getting worried:scared:

Great installment and the fourty pass woman would have gotten some not so nice Disstares from me! You are a better person than I.

I will now sit quietly and wait for more.popcorn::

DONT BE WORRIED SILLY! Im fine! Sheesh, it was only like four days you silly disboard people! lol Just kidding - I love that you guys were worried, it was very sweet! -- Oh I was NOT being a nice person to that fastpass woman. You should have heard me. Todd screams "BABE HURRY UP!" Me - "I CANT! THIS STUPID WOMAN HAS LIKE 8 BILLION FASTPASSES! Todd- "ARE YOU SERIOUS" Me - "DO I LOOK LIKE IM JOKING LOOK AT HER!" .. all this while she was standing right there, shaking trying to get all her fastpasses and probably stifling tears. Serves that fastpass ***** right! GOSH! haha

:cutie: Hey Girlie Girl I was just about to send out hounds to look for you:lmao:
Seriously you need to check in once in a while we were all starting to freak!:rotfl2:
Anywho glad your back, give us another update soon! Nettii:goodvibes

Hey deary dear!! Ooh .. don't send the hounds.. I will make my timid chihuahua eat them! You guys are silly, Im fine! I will update asap!

Glad to have you back Blayne. So. . ..an overall grumpy day with lots of creeps at MGM huh? That stinks! Hope it gets better for you guys. Loved that you loved Rockin' Roller Coaster, hands down the best ride on property, I can't wipe the smile off my face after riding it for a half an hour afterwards. Just an FYI, you could have used those FP's, we've used them after they expire MANY MANY times - oh well, next time ;)
I personally don't mind the food at 50's Primetime (better than at Sci Fi- Yuck) but totally understand what you are saying about that back room, we were totally bummed out two years ago being stuck back in that room and had a waiter similar to the one you described, this year I am requesting a t.v. table and waiting as long as it takes to get one.
Waiting for the next installment!
Lesley

Hey Lesley! Haha my day wasn't that bad. In fact it was great! I was just overtired and the people at Disney are nutjobs. Im so use to the nice disboard people - part of me thought that everyone at disney would be like that and THAT IS NOT THE CASE!! OMG I KNOW NOW ABOUT THOSE FASTPASSES AND I DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT! I AM EXTREMELY PERTURBED THAT I DIDNT KNOW THIS! RRR! Wait till I tell Todd when he gets home tonight that we passed up all those rides! He was happy cause he has motion sickness, but NOT ME. Im sad! Next time at Prime Time I am DEFINITELY requesting a tv table - that is IF i ever go back. Which I probably won't for a few years!

Yeah, you're back!! Great installment. Before I had my breast reduction I always had nasty guys staring at my chest. It was so gross!!! No more though. Great pics with the characters, I hate when people with kids think they are more deserving of the characters than adults and I have 2 kids. Too bad you didn't know you could use your fast passes after your window has passed, we have done it several times too. I'm glad I took Primetime off my adr list for august. Hurry back with more!

Yep! Im back! Thanks! Eww.. I hate those creepers. I'd love to know what in their brains tells them that it is OKAY to ogle women. Like thanks - WE KNOW WE ARE HOTT BUT BOY OH BOY OGLE FROM A DISTANCE! lol .. just kidding! The characters were fun, however the PARENTS were not. We had to deal with A LOT of horrible parents. For example in my next installment at the parade - the parents were terribly obnoxious. I hope your one of the nice ones who makes sure your kids on not sitting on strangers!

you do need to check in once in a while keep posting

I know I know! SHHEEESH! :)

Awesome update! Sorry you had to deal with the creep at RNR. I swear, you can't escape them even at Disney. I was happy to hear you rode TOT, I have to admit I never have...I'm just too scared! Can't wait for your next installment, they're so much fun to read!!! Try not to work too hard in the meantime :)

Thanks! You really can't escape them. And to be honest, I don't think I've ever even seen as many creeps as I have in Disney. I had a preconceived notion that Disney would be filled with all nice "Disboard" people. But thats not the case. The majority are creeps and then there are the vast view of us lovely disboarders! Oooh .. you should ride TOT .. its really not bad. I vowed to myself I would ride everything when I was there and honestly it wasn't bad. It was quite fun! Thanks for reading!

what about the job? Oh and Blayne, Id like you to know this is now my childrens bed time story! LOL I was hooked and they wanted a story and well they heard about your valentines day! LOL Thank GOD you didnt talk about anything else on Valentines day or I would have had to edit it! LOL

I will update on the job I will! Omgosh that is TOO CUTE that this is your children's bedtime story! Believe me, I have not added any EXPLICIT content lol. Although, I must admit we WERE on vacation and our first one at that so explicit behavior may have been quite rampant! haha But I don't want to fill you nice people's head with SMUT! lol Thanks for reading and sharing my story!

Geeze 40 fastpasses?! Reminds me of the crazy "flag people" we always seem to run into during our trip. We always try getting the fast pass machine that's NOT their line. The pile of fast passes this one guy had for his group was huge!

Hey Ash! My new penpal! Yeah.. i don't even want to talk about that woman. Me and the two grown Australian men behind me spent the 20 minutes plotting a way to quietly kill her with out the million other Disney people witnessing it! haha

Hi Blayne, My DS (15) is watching your TR daily for updates and letting me know when you post a new entry. We both are getting a real kick out both you guys. DS is gonna kill me when he reads this but he thinks you are a real "hottie". :cool1: Just wanted to add with the others that you can use fastpasses "after" the the time indicated on the pass up until the park closes. This goes for all the parks including Disneyland. Looking forward to your next entry. :wave2:

Hey disnymama! Im glad you are both enjoying my Trippie. Haha! I love that your being a "not so nice disnymama" and ratting on your son. But it really made my day! I even told Todd he may have some competition! keep reading!!

:eek: Yeah, let me explain this one. Well, you seem like a wonderful girl who seems to love everything about Disney. That is what I want in a grlfriend. I want someone who maintains their innocence no matter how old they get. That is the kind of person you seem like to me. So, there you go.

P.S. That's horrible about the creep in Rock n' Roller Coaster.

Hey Disneydude! Did you go kick your mom for that one ? Thats okay. I am COMPLETELY flattered. Although I can't help but comment on your taste because those are DEFINITELY not flattering pictures of me! I thank you though! I'd like to think I'm a wonderful girl! haha You seem pretty mature for 15. If you were a little older, Todd might have some competition! Thanks for reading and thanks for the compliment, even though I wasn't supposed to know about it! puckerup:

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! She's back! Another great one Blayne!

THANK YOU!!

glad you're back blayne - sounds like you had fun at MGM (except at the 50s prime time - but the food wasn't all bad!)

Thanks! MGM was great.. 50's prime time NOT so great. But Im still optimistic!

fastpass lines can be make or break they either make you wait or break down!! in the rush at AK for everest the fastpass ran out of tickets!!

glad you enjoyed MGM can not wait to hear more. hope you enjoyed the spring like day ma had yesterday get ready for snow tomorrow!!

haha! I know that rush for everest. I was in it several times over the course of our vacation! I definitely enjoyed the spring day and I am PRAYING FOR SNOW so that school will be cancelled! I need a day off! I miss Disney!

Aw Im glad your alright Blayne! Eww some guys are just creeps I cant believe he kept staring. I cant believe that woman was getting 40 fastpasses. I mean thats fine if your getting like 5 for your family but 40?! The people should of stood inline and got their own!

Im so glad you loved RNR and ToT they are such a blast! Cant wait to read about the pirate and princess party!! :banana:

Hi! That guy was a total creep. He just WOULDNT stop. No matter what we said. At one point Todd was blatantly making fun of him to his face saying "Some people have bleeping staring problems" and also something along the lines of "Get a life" but he was just nuts. That woman with the 40 fastpass needed to be slapped. This isnt an exaggeration either. It was REALLY 40. FORTY! Thats just ridiculous! Thanks for reading!

Loving the trip report!

Thank you!

soooo happy to see the update...cant wait for more... You two look so happy and you are making me super excited to go to Disney!!!!! :) I think I will skip 50's Dining... I am think of Mama's for our ADR at MGM

Hi! Glad I made you happy! Omgosh. Disney is just such fun! Everyday is an adventure! Im sure you will have a blast. OMGOSH I WOULD COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY AND UTTERLY RECOMMEND MAMA MELROSE! It gets such bad reviews on the Disboards and we had one of our BEST meals there. Todd loved it - it was his favorite meal of the whole week and I thought it was definitely one of my top choices. We will go back EVERY time we go to Disney. I would so recommend it. And do the fantasmic package - its amazing!

I'm finally caught up! Keep it coming...

Thanks for reading!

Hi Blayne! Another great installment - even if you did run into some creeps and get the Grumps.

Can't wait for more - please don't keep us waiting so long this time!

Hi! haha BOY did I get the Grumps! I was overdue for a nap!

Great update! Sorry about the creep though. I hate that! What bugs me the worst is the ones who "bump" into you by "accident"...and you wonder if it really was an accident...

Anyways, great pics. Loving your TR! We know you're busy, but keep it coming! ;) :thumbsup2

Hi! Thanks! Creeps are yucky. I know what you mean about the bumping. I had a lot of that done to me over the course of the vacation. Thanks for reading!

Yay! Great update Blayne :)

I cannot believe someone would get 40 fastpasses!! :eek: Absolutely insane! Gross gross gross to the guy looking down your shirt. DF and I had a similar experience at Prime Time too. We will NEVER go there again. We had a crummy server and we didn't really like the menu. We both got chicken caesar salads and the lettuce was rotten. So disgusting! So I feel your pain on that one. I cannot wait to hear more and see the Pirate and Princess party :goodvibes

By the way, your hair looks so cute w/ the curls in it :cutie:

Hey JJ! Fastpass lady and Creep guy should get married and have really obnoxious psycho creep babies! The menu at 50's is NOT good. There is not ANYTHING on there that I would actually eat as an entree. Todd's chicken looked disgusting when he got it and I couldn't believe that he was eating but I think the poor guy was just famished. I won't go back. If we do it won't be for a long long time!

Great report! We love RnR, too...awesome coaster! Love the loud music, takeoff and loops! FUN!

BTW -- We've eaten at 50sPTC and have only had ONE good server in all those visits. His name is Topher and we see him there even when he's not serving us. He's the best. The other three times have been blech. We won't be going back for quite some time.

Can't wait for more!

Hey and thanks! RnR is great. Oh man so much fun. Much funner then sitting here right now in Massachusetts - I wish I was back right now! I agree about 50's .. not for a loooonnng time!

Thanks for the update!
I know how you feel about the characters...I always feel nervous when I get my picture taken too because I'm older than everyone else. But, I usually just shove my little sisters in the line so I don't feel quite so lame. :goodvibes

Can't wait for more!

Hi CinderEmma! At least you have little sisters to shove in line .. not us! We just had to suck it up and smile pretty!

Welcome back!!!! Pretty please don't make us wait that long again... Okay?????

1st of all- your hair is awesome! I LOVE it curly! It looks movie-starish! Can I have your autograph???? Maybe that's why creep face couldn't stop looking at you??? What a weirdo though... Creepy people are so weird... Glad you got away from him quick!

And so sad to hear about your 50's PTC experience. We love that place so much! I think I would have asked for another table. Even if it meant waiting another 20 minutes. That makes or breaks it for me!

Hey courtney! Im sorry that I kept everyone waiting so long, I really am! I felt so bad about it! Omgosh thanks for the compliment. My hair is naturally VERY curly. I straighten it almost everyday in the winter and then just let it be curly and wild in the summer. You can totally have my autograph. Although, I think creepface wanted much more than my autograph if you know what I mean. YUCK! He's was weird looking too - kind of like an old version of Kanicki from Grease with those pockmarks all over his face. YUCK-O!

Im not completely shut out to going to 50's again, but probably not for awhile and I would DEFINITELY ask for a tv table! Thanks for hanging in there and reading!!

Great trip report so far! I have spent most of the morning reading it and I love all the pics!

Hi thanks! Im glad your enjoying it!
 
Ok, so I was just browsing and came across your trip report and I'M HOOKED! You have so much energy. Actully, I'm a bit like you when it comes to Disney. I'm going 4 weeks from today with my DH and 4 y/o DD. It will be DD's first trip and we are SO excited. I'm looking forward to hearing more about your trip. Keep it coming!

Sue princess: Joe pirate: Morgan (4) princess: Twins (1) Carter pirate: & Peyton princess:

(The twins are staying home with the grandma's. We'll bring them back in a few more years when they are a little older. This trip will be all about Morgan. She's been such a trooper since Carter and Peyton arrived in 10/05)


Hey! Thanks for reading! I love when people say they are hooked - it makes me feel all warm inside :goodvibes !! 4 weeks from today! HOW AMAZING! YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN! I bet your pumped!!! Let me just tell you something insane! I have this small list of Baby names that I have kept for years that I have added to over the years. I have ALWAYS had Carter and Peyton on there since I was little. Im pretty sure Morgan is on there somewhere as well! THATS SO WEIRD. I LOVE THOSE NAMES! SO ADORABLE! - I bet your kids are very cute! Thats so sweet that your taking just Morgan on the trip. My mother was 4 years old when her twin brothers Keith and Kevin came along. She didn't get to go to Disney world like Morgan is, and instead she ended up stealing her mom's lipstick and coloring the babies legs and feet bright red. My grandmother thought they were bleeding and freaked out. Its probably best that you are taking her away! HAHAHA! Have fun! Thanks for reading! :goodvibes

Loving the Tr

Thank you so much!

I'm so glad you are back! I missed your updates and love the latest one :goodvibes

Don't keep us waiting so long anymore!

Thanks!! I won't keep you waiting I promise!

I am LOVING your report. I just found it today and have gotten no work done, and just read your whole tale so far.

I LOVE looking at WDW through a 1st timer! Although we've been our fair share, I still get very excited each trip and look forward to trying / seeing something new.

Can't wait to read more!!! Hurry up!!!!

Hey! Happy to help you procrastinate on your work - its what I do best! :rotfl: I loved going to WDW as a 1st timer, I hope next time is still good. Judging by the disboards, it seems that it is!! Thanks for reading!
 
Day 3 Part 2 - The Pirate and Princess Party

We ended on back to Pop, dragging our tired and grumpy bums all the way to our room. Yes we are young, yes it was our first time in Disney, but we were pooped! AND we would be staying out LATE that night, so we decided a nap was in order. When we got there, it was peaceful because unlike at night with the screaming children and the bickering adults, everyone was at the parks. I was adamant NOT to take a nap because I just DONT nap. I have this "issue" that whenever I do accidentally fall asleep during the day.. I wake up disoriented and VOMIT. YUP vomit. So I wasn't as keen on the idea of taking a nap. But nonethless, I fell asleep. When I woke, I WAS disoriented BUT I got myself dressed and pirately and was ready to go!

IMG_2542.jpg

Once again those crocs do NOTHING for my short legs. Darn crocs!

We walked down to the buses and got into the Magic Kingdom line. We were in a contagious mood and were smiling like maniacs. Me of course because I had never been to the Magic Kingdom and Im pretty sure Todd's smile may have had something to do with the fact that I was the only adult dressed like a pirate. Something that he seemed to find a bit comical. When we FINALLY pulled up to the Magic Kingdom and I glimpsed the castle, I'll admit, my breath caught a little. THIS was where I had dreamed of going since I was a little girl. And lookie- here I was and even better I WAS IN COSTUME! haha

IMG_2545.jpg


It was already beginning to get dark out and we made our way through the gates and received our bracelets and teeney weensy itsy bitsy treat bags and maps. I felt like we were part of an exclusive club.

IMG_2543.jpg


IMG_2544.jpg


IMG_2546.jpg


When we walked onto Main Street, I must admit I was COMPLETELY overwhelmed. Even more so, at the rides which had little to no waits! We bypassed the castle and went on over to Tomorrowland. OMGOSH - are you DISSER's AWARE of how BIG the Magic Kingdom is? WHOOWEE! It is BIG. And definitely overwhelming. I must say I regret not going here a day prior to the Pirate and Princess party because all I wanted to do was ride the rides and explore Magic Kingdom, so much so that I didn't really get to do ANY of the Pirate and Princess stuff! I'm a little bummed looking back, but getting back to the topic! We walked into Tomorrowland and I didn't know where to turn. I had remembered someone saying "Whatever you do DON'T go on Stitch". So what is the first ride I go on? Hmm.. I bet you guessed Stitch! And your right! We went on Stitch. Uhh... not the most eventful ride. I didn't really understand the point of it. But I DO love Stitch.. just not particularly when he's burping and spitting on me. In fact I don't love ANYONE when they are burping and spitting on me! After that we headed over to Buzz, but the line was huge and the fastpass was shutting down because it was almost near closing. We figured we would wait till later and hopped on the TTA. Now I had heard about the TTA on the DIS and new that I would like it. I KNOW I KNOW, I am silly and I like silly things!

IMG_2548.jpg


IMG_2549.jpg


IMG_2550.jpg


I thought the TTA was quite fun and Todd and I rode it twice. It was just so relaxing and it was REALLY fun to see the inside of all the different rides that I hadn't been on yet! Although, it was pretty gross to watch the older couple behind us make out the whole time. Now I don't mind PDA, but these people were NOT youngn's and it was pretty graphic. After that display, we thought it was best to get off and since Carousel of Progress had no line, we went on in.

IMG_2554.jpg


Todd and I didn't really know what to expect with this ride, but corny old me LOVED it! I just love those animatronics and I love historical things like that - Todd and I had the song stuck in our heads for the rest of the week! I loved it loved it loved it and YOU PEOPLE can make fun of me all you want because I just dont care! So HUMPH!

After we went for that quick journey through the decades, we headed out to do a little more exploring. I found one of my friends Pleakley doing the same thing and decided that I MUST have a picture with him!

We wandered around aimlessly because we had no idea how to get around the Magic Kingdom and maps are just NO HELP in the dark! We stumbled upon the Haunted Mansion and there was NO WAIT! So we headed on in there. I was so excited! I couldn't wait to ride this ride!

When we got inside, I didn't know what to expect and was ushered into the cool room with the moving walls. When we got on the ride, I was a little nervous, not knowing what to expect - but it was DISNEY so obviously it couldn't be bad. I DID get scared though, because I stared at the creepy attendant a little bit longer than I should and I had the nerve to smile, so when the ride began, he had followed us in and he stuck his head in and went "BOO!" and I SCREAMED. Yep, at the top of my lungs. Jeeze! How was I supposed to know that he would do that! Im obviously not scared of the fun Haunted Mansion, I was scared of the SCARY MAN who hijacked our cart! When he was gone though, I enjoyed the ride. It was very cute. Todd loved it too. I loved the dining room scene and graveyard. All very cute. At the end as your leaving, there is this really creepy talking doll that says "COOOMMME BACCCCCCKKK, DONN'TTT FORGETT TO BRRINGGG YOURRRR DEEEATTH CERTIFICATE! .. I liked that doll - she was creepy!

So after our journey to the land of the dead, we were famished. However, guess what? Its the Pirate and Princess Party and apparently no one wants to feed us. Everywhere was closed. Finally, we stumbled upon Columbia Harbor house and were able to get something.

Todd and I both got the Fish and Chicken Combo and then I gave him my chicken and he gave me his fish. It worked out well. It was pretty good. I like it there. A Cast Member came over to our table when we were eating and randomly started talking to us. He was an older man and very nice and of course Todd and I were convinced he was a DreamFastPass guy so we were as nice as pie. Well, he was NOTHING. We didn't get anything out of it. We were bummed! :rotfl: Afterward, we went over to It's a Small World and rode. It wasn't that great. In fact I thought it was somewhat creepy. I'm not sure what I was expecting. The dolls WERE pretty though, just weird.

When the ride was over, we went to a Princess Picture spot to get our picture taken. This is when a very interesting thing happened. As we were waiting in line, Todd turned to me and said "Ummm.. do you smell that?" I looked at him annoyed for a moment thinking he was being raunchy, but then I smelled it too. As did ALL the other parents in line. Coming out of the woods off to the side, was the strongest smell of marijuana EVER! It was so strong. ALL the parents were talking about it. Some of the Cast Members must have been back there, because I'm pretty sure it was an off limits place. It began to get so strong that it was ridiculous and people were yelling and complaining about it. It was quite strange. I would never associate Disney World with Pot Smokers. I mean your working at DISNEY WORLD .. HOW MUCH MORE RELAXED DO YOU NEED TO BE! Anyways.. finally it was our turn and we emerged from the cloud of pot smoke and took our picture, slightly dazed! :rotfl:

When this was over we rode Peter Pan and went to Mickeys Philarmagic.

I LOVED MICKEYS PHILHARMAGIC! It was awesome! I loved the scents and the AMAZING songs (all my favorite!) I just loved it. I was beaming when we got out. Todd thought it was cute! I was just so happy. By this time it was time for the parade and I was a little disappointed because in all our fun we hadn't gone to ANY of the pirate and princess themed things EXCEPT for a couple loot stops. I was just so overwhelmed and wanted to go on a lot of stuff so we didn't get to do many other things.

We got amazing seats for the parade. Right on the ground outside of the Hall of Presidents in the front row. However, we had this horribly obnoxious family who kept shoving their children onto our laps and kept hitting us in the head with the dividing rope. At one point the man actually picked his child up and swung him around and SMACKED ME IN THE HEAD! Todd was pissed and I was somewhat dazed and in shock, but after they hit me, they apologized and calmed down somewhat. The parade was really great! My camera was acting up though!

(starting a new post in order to fit all the pictures .. dont be alarmed!!)

We had the same thing happen at the Columbia Harbour House too. We were actually chosen as their "Family of the Day" because we were first in line at lunch time. We received 1 fast pass for that and they set up a whole table for us upstairs special. But when this guy came up. He was asking specific questions like who was each of the kids favorite character. I thought that he was going to have a character meet with us by the way he sounded. We were so happy and being "extra nice" right back. But then he said have a good day and left. Guess that showed me for expecting something more. :laughing: Man - I love reading your trip report. You are just a real "spunky girl". I know that may sound weird but it was the best I could describe you to my hubby (who was wondering who that chick was on my computer). I said you were so much fun, and I don't even know you! :banana:
 
I'm waiting for the pictures. I tried to convince my DD to skip having a Birthday party and we would have a girls trip to Disney for Princess & Pirate party but she wanted the party :confused: . Today is her Bday and we could be in Disney right now:rolleyes1 . Anyway I just hate having to deal with rude people at the parades, soory you had to meet some. Your hair looks so nice curly, do you use a spiral iron to do that? I might have to buy one. popcorn:: love this trip report!

WHOO! Those were a lot of pictures! Sorry if I bored some of you! All in all the parade was pretty good. It was my first Disney parade so I was very excited to be seeing it. Afterwards, we headed over to a really cute Pirate Picture Spot and took some pictures there.

From there, it was the Country Bears. I wasn't sure what to expect with this show. It was cute though. Not the cutest, but okay!

Once we got out, the Parade crowd was gone so we mosied on over to Big Thunder Mountain to see how long the wait was. We would have rode Splash too, but it was WAY to cold! It was pretty chilly that night. BTM had a 10 minute wait so we headed on in. It was fun. It was a nice ride, but kind of lame. It's definitely not the most exciting rollercoaster, but still pretty fun. When we got off, it was 15 minutes until the fireworks started and we chose to watch them from the bridge in Frontierland. We were the first people there and got a perfect spot. It was wonderful. The fireworks were gorgeous. I took a movie of the beginning, but then stopped in order to enjoy them myself. I have the movie and attempted to upload it but its not currently working, so I will post it at a later date.

After the fireworks, we were both exhausted, but headed over to Tomorrowland again to ride Buzz and Space Mountain. Buzz was first and we loved it. We had a blast! Todd wanted to go on again, but I voted for Space Mountain. Space Mountain was fun, but I was a little disappointed because it wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be like Rockin' Roller Coaster. By the time we got out of there, we were so exhausted that we dragged ourselves back to the bus and headed back to Pop around 11:30. When we got back, we fell into bed and were out cold! It was a great night!

Quick Update-

So the job update. Well, I GOT THE JOB!! They called to tell me that they were going to proceed with the hiring process because my interview was great and they got my background check back. So now I'm just waiting on them to find out the details and to see when I start! Its going to be so fun, I hope it goes well and that I can start on Monday or ASAP! Thanks for reading everyone!!
