"Charge It To The Room! - I'm NOT Drunk!" - WDW Vacation 2013! (UPDATE - (2/7)

I was so excited when I saw your pics of Peter & Wendy just casually walking through Fantasyland and then...that CM. Way to break Kelly's heart AND MINE because I was so ready for pics. (Glad she got to meet him finally!)

The Tangled bathrooms. I can't even wait to see those in person. They look absolutely breathtaking and I'm probably just going to die from the magicalness of it all.
 
Oh my gosh that made me so sad that Kelly couldn't meet Peter and Wendy. That just seems so unfair.
 
I hate when CMs have bad days and then take it out on people who just want to see characters!

Those tangled bathrooms are amazing! New fantasy land is probably the one thing I'm looking forward to the most when we get there.
 

She didnt sound like a very nice CM :mad: I'm glad Kelly finally got to meet Wendy :goodvibes

She was very excited about it! :D

I apologize, I'll go back right now & DEMAND to meet Peter & Wendy just so I can unbreak your heart & give you the pictures you deserve! (& so I can go to Disney ;) ) hahah! :D
The pictures don't even do it justice. It is fantastic.... Incredible. Just wow!

You are both adorable and hysterical!

Thank you! :goodvibes

Oh my gosh that made me so sad that Kelly couldn't meet Peter and Wendy. That just seems so unfair.

I felt so bad for her :( but it all worked out in the end! :D

New Fantasyland is absolutely mindblowing flawless... I can't even take it. I love it so much. OMG. I need to be there now.

Great pics! :)

Thank you! :D
 
I can't be believe that CM! I would think that they would let you let you slide into line. :( PS My son is Peter Pan for his drama camp's performance of Shrek the Musical next week!

Can't wait to see the Tangled bathrooms and NEW FANTASYLAND ahhh! lol #2weeks I will be just as excited!

My youngest son got to be on stage with Jack Sparrow last August- his hero! Hopefully he will get to do it again. Can't wait to ride Pirates too- that's one of my fave attractions!
 
Aye, I'm too far behind on this TR!

Anyway, I LOVE Ryan's shirt, I'm a huge Top Gear fan! Sad that that CM was being a crabapple, but, you can't win 'em all I guess. At least she finally got to meet Wendy!

That's an awesome part! I wish him the best of luck ! :D
They are incredible, ohmygosh, I can't.
I LOVE JACK SPARROW.
Tell your son he has one 19 year old very jealous, hahahahah.

Aye, I'm too far behind on this TR!

I get behind too, & it's my own TR! hahah :D
He's obsessed with the show, he'll appreciate this comment :P
 
HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY! (name that movie!)

We had just made it to Pirates of the Caribbean & were working on locating the other half of our group, which shouldn't have been as difficult as it was but have you tried keeping about 10 people in one place? WE WANDER OKAY!?
You caught me, I wander. I see shiny things, I'm gone. Sorry, I just can't help it!

Finally after we had all reunited in our group we got in line to see some swashbuckling pirates!
Can someone tell me what that means? Cause I just don't know. Like if I went up to someone & said,
"YOU SWASHBUCKLING PIRATE!" would they take offense to that or is it a compliment.
I would take it as a compliment, but I'm not sure about other non pirate people. WHO KNOWS.

There was actually a line for Pirates. I couldn't believe it, I feel like I've never waited more than 2 & a half minutes for it, but we actually had to wait like 10. BLASPHEMOUS!

So we decided to take some pictures.

1lzq.jpg

PAPA<3 :D
I also look extra white, which is ridiculous cause I didn't think I could get any whiter....

bpk4.jpg

I guess Ashley thought she wasn't in the picture.
& of course, I'm posing.

This becomes a trend on the trip, as soon as someone looks like they're taking a picture, I instantly pose.
I love getting my picture taken. Take 25892570 of me if you see me walking down the street one day, just make sure you send them to me. :P
So amongst our picture taking, the making fun of Libby started, which is also a trend.
I can't help it that I am a little ECCENTRIC. I like to have fun, I laugh at myself, I'm a big old looney. But hey, like I'm in Disney, do you expect me to be NORMAL!? NO!?

So Marge said we had to take a picture of us doing the Libby.
Which I thought was hilarious because, well I am Libby, so technically aren't I ALWAYS doing the Libby!?

om31.jpg

When I saw the picture, I actually loved it, & Marge didn't even pose!? But alas, a good picture of us was taken & no one is complaining;
POSING WORKS PEOPLE.
POSE IT OUT.

r97e.jpg

They told me not to pose.. DON'T KILL MY VIBE!

After that excruciating 10 minute wait we finally got on! YAY PIRATES!
Not the Pittsburgh ones, even though that's where I'm from & I should support them, sorry Pittsburgh Pirates, I like dirty, rum drinking pirates more.

7z1m.jpg


7k3u.jpg

I'm sorry but this level of creepiness is out of control!?

Back Story On A Possible Reason Libby Is Such A Freak;
When I was younger I HATED rides, absolutely hated any of them that were dark, spinny, roller coastery, moved, swayed, ANYTHING. I was a big baby. The first ride I basically started to ride was Pirates.
However the teeny tiny drop in it used to scare the pants off me. When I was younger the drop might as well have been triple Splash Mountain, like I would CRY like there was no tomorrow, but no one cared, THEY FORCED ME ON IT.

So of course, right before we go down, Marge said,
"LIBBY! THE DROP IS COMING. HOLD ON FOR YOUR LIFE. YOU MAY DIE!"
Reason #1342513

We actually survived Pirates, somehow, that drop was huge. Believe me.

"You've got something of ours, & it calls to us."

I tweeted:
"I'm sorry but I'm in love with the smell of Disney water, like live in my nostrils, all day everyday." 12:59PM

Yeahp, you know it's true.

We decided it was time for lunch.
Where to?
Columbia Harbour House!

We made our way there & figured out what we all wanted.
I decided I wasn't super hungry, we had a very important dinner later that night I didn't want to be full for!

MOMENTOUS MOMENT.
RING THE BELLS.
SOUND THE ALARMS!

Seeing as I wasn't getting a meal, I would not be using the DDP, so I went to get a 20$ out of my backpack & my dad says,
"What are you doing?"
& I said,
"Getting cash out I'm only getting something small I think."
He then says,
"Just charge it to the room!"

CHARGE IT TO THE ROOM!?! My mind was confused. I mean, I knew you could do that, like the ability to, I just didn't know I had the ability to.
I asked my dad if he was sure & that I had enough money to pay for some of my own food. He assured me that no, I am to charge any non DDP meals, snacks, or food in general, TO THE ROOM!

I thanked him a ton, over & over again, the whole trip. I promise I am not a spoiled brat, nor did I go crazy CHARGING IT TO THE ROOM! but when we did, we yelled it in our wonderful British accents, as you should be everytime you read it.

Ryan was getting an actual meal & ended up getting a tuna sandwich, with coke, & a chocolate cake!
27lh.jpg


1xbm.jpg

(PS I ate the chocolate cake ;))

I got a frozen lemonade & some mac & cheese!
3rju.jpg


Before we sat down, we were all wandering around looking for room for all of us, & found two tables somewhat close to eachother, at first Ashley sat with all the parents, & Ryan, Kelly, me, Nick, & Nicki all sat at the "KIDS TABLE";
so we yelled over & said,
"LOSERS AT THE PARENT TABLE!"
so her & her boyfriend, Forrest, came over & sat at the cool kid table.
Naturally.

It was actually a really nice lunch, the food was delicious, & we were talking about just hilarious things & I was in a pure Disney bliss. I was so happy.
Now looking back, I was a complete idiot this whole day, you know why?
WE DID NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT NEW FREAKING FANTASYLAND.
Like, I have been waiting so long to see this beautiful thing & it hadn't even crossed my mind. Like I forgot it existed. But don't worry, we get our fix soon enough! :D

So after we all were reenergized it was time to get moving.
I TOOK THE LEAD. You know why?
SPLASH MOUNTAIN TIME BABY!

Unfortunately when we got there, it was broke down. SURPRISE SURPRISE.
So we picked up some of these babies.

tda8.jpg


& decided to give Thunder Mountain a try.
The line said 25, so we all decided sure, why not.

No, just kidding. As soon as we walked in the line, we were stopped.
The whole way back to the entrance. We thought maybe it was cause the lines weren't zig-zagged inside, but they were.
So we said, SEE YOU LATER to Thunder & decided to try the last & final mountain!
We knew we would make it to this one because we had our earlier FP! :D

Basically it was a walk-on, with fastpasses of course.

rwqc.jpg

Big old DERP.

rvg9.jpg

I just don't even know what was going on.

We shot through space & I loved every second of it.
Kelly & I were screaming as loud as we could & then laughing at eachother screaming, so by the time we got off, my face was purple & I was hacking & trying to breathe. Hilarious.
Then we got off to see this beauty of a ride picture....

kqsy.jpg

What? HAH.

After we got off it was time for some TTA. THE PEOPLEMOVER! :D

yawf.jpg


onkm.jpg


This next picture is one of my favorites.
I make it a point to be just super nice to CM's, because let's be real, I love them, they make everything work & everything run as smoothly as it can be, & I am going to be one some day, so hopefully my niceness will catch up to me & I will get nice people too!
So Kelly was taking our picture & I saw the CM waving to us as we were going bye, so of course I had to wave & she said she liked my bow & I said, YAY! THANK YOU! I LOVE YOUR JOB. To which she laughed hysterically at, because I sounded so funny.

7c1x.jpg

Waving Libb. Yeahp, that's what I do.

5q84.jpg

Try number 2!

tfeb.jpg

Kel & her illegal activities!

ol67.jpg

I can't take enough pictures of the Castle, I'm serious.
Like I am so in love with it.
Let me live there.

6wrk.jpg

This makes me laugh cause Kel's face looks so angry, like she fell & hit her butt hard & Ryan is like HAHA, you're on the floor!

Where would we go next?
Where was our dinner tonight!?

Toy Story!!!! Watching it right now with my almost 2 year old. Need to start the Disney brainwashing early!!! LOL ;)

Hahaha... I always yell Wooo when going over that little dip on Pirates, its a tiny dip but still puts butterflies in my tummy.

Also that chocolate cake looks amazing. I might need to get it in January!

Edit: OMG. One more thing about Pirates... The last time were on it there was this little boy looking out over the side of the boat and as we took off... SMACK... This poor kid smashed his head against the wall, I immediately grabbed him freaking out, and he's like I'm ok and was laughing... Sheesh... Way to scare a person and thankfully he wasn't seriously hurt. Ugghhh. I will never ever forget about that.
 

After that excruciating 10 minute wait we finally got on! YAY PIRATES!
Not the Pittsburgh ones, even though that's where I'm from & I should support them, sorry Pittsburgh Pirates, I like dirty, rum drinking pirates more.

Oh man, how can you even say that??? ;) I'm a fellow Pittsburgher and the Pirates are having their best year in.....pretty much forever....:goodvibes

But, yeah, okay, I probably agree with you :blush:

Great update! This is so keeping me entertained while I wait.....9 MORE DAYS :banana::cool1::love:
 
Oh my gosh I felt the exact same way about pirates when I was younger and everytime I ride it I still think it could be a big drop even though I know it's not!!

And you are so cute in these TRs I love it!! And you would make a great castmember! :)
 
Libby!!! Just wanted to let you know that I'm still reading along and loving this of course!!! My computer is lame but it won't stop me from reading! I have so much to comment on that I can't remember, but OMG, we were at MK at the same time on the 30th! We encountered the long line at Pirates too! I swear if we walked right by each other... OH, and I didn't know you'd cancelled Crystal Palace! Joni and I were looking for ya! Anyways, can't wait for more!
 
Swashbuckling. Hmmm. IDK. But...I think it's good if you're a pirate.

I also LOVE getting my picture taking. LOL I would pose my heart out with you ALL DAY LONG!!

I also must agree that dirty, rum drinking pirates are better than Pittsburgh Pirates. But only because I'm loyal to my team. And I like rum. :confused3

BOO to Splash being down. And long lines for Space. THANK GOODNESS YOU GOT ON BIG THUNDER!!!!! I was worried you wouldn't indulge in some mountainous fun there for a second. Crisis averted.

That's one of my favorite lines from Toy Story! :D
I just always laugh over the little dip, it just makes me think of being 10 years old having a major meltdown, hahahah.
OH MY GOD. I probably wouldn't have even known what to do.
THAT'S WHY THEY SAY REMAIN SEATED! :rotfl:

Oh man, how can you even say that??? ;) I'm a fellow Pittsburgher and the Pirates are having their best year in.....pretty much forever....:goodvibes

But, yeah, okay, I probably agree with you :blush:

Great update! This is so keeping me entertained while I wait.....9 MORE DAYS :banana::cool1::love:

Rum Pirates >>>>>> Pittsburgh Pirates! You know it's true! No arguments here :P
Glad it can help keep you entertained! Have a fantastic trip! pixiedust:

Oh my gosh I felt the exact same way about pirates when I was younger and everytime I ride it I still think it could be a big drop even though I know it's not!!

And you are so cute in these TRs I love it!! And you would make a great castmember! :)

It's hilarious how small it actually is, but as a child it's TERRIFYING!
Glad I'm not alone! :)
Thank you so much! Basically the best thing anyone can say to me, :flower3:
You would make, excuse me, I mean WILL make an incredible CM too! :D

Libby!!! Just wanted to let you know that I'm still reading along and loving this of course!!! My computer is lame but it won't stop me from reading!

I'm glad you're still here! :)
OMG. OF FREAKING COURSE WE WERE! UGHHHHHHH!
We seriously probably did walk right by eachother!
We cancelled it so last minute, I was SO upset about it :( WAHHHHH!!!

Swashbuckling. Hmmm. IDK. But...I think it's good if you're a pirate.

I also LOVE getting my picture taking. LOL I would pose my heart out with you ALL DAY LONG!!

I definitely think it's good if you're a pirate! ARGH!
POSE PARTY! :lmao:
I'm definitely glad the crisis was averted! :D
 
Hey guys!
Sorry for the big gaps between updates, there's been a lot going on lately! We're going through a lot of changes & trying to figure out last minute summer ideas!
Ryan has actually just joined the Army, & is leaving for basic training October 8, so we're trying to fit in a bunch of fun things before we don't see eachother for 5-6 months. (WHICH I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT!)
But don't worry, the updates will start moving along again soon!

ON WITH THE SHOW!
---------------------------------------------

We got off the People Mover & got the whole family back together again.
We decided to go on BUZZ LIGHTYEAR'S SPACE RANGER SPIN!
Which I am TERRIBLE at.

Let me tell you, I kick some serious booty on Toy Story Mania, but Buzz, no.
Can't do it.
Seriously.
Epic failure.
Times 100.
I suck.
Simple as that.

So we go to get in line for Buzz & guess who comes walking up with my Aunt Beth?!
UNCLE RANDY!

My uncle doesn't usually get to come out as much as the others because of his job, so I hadn't seem him for about 5 years!
I was soooo happy!

mk9o.jpg

I look like a big dumb idiot, but we had to take a picture & just ended up like this.

We only waited about 15 minutes to get on & of course I sucked.
Ryan won, like always.

wrhm.jpg

Clearly not my score....

ta60.jpg

This one seems for Libby-like. FAILURE.

Clearly, I was not happy about losing!
gkav.jpg


To make up for my epic failure, we had a little photoshoot with ZURG!!!

xrja.jpg


qz60.jpg

PSH! Zurg don't scare NOOOO BODDDAAY!

syvt.jpg

Okay, maybe he scares me a little.

go5w.jpg

This was me letting Kelly be taller for once in our dang lives.
HASHTAG I AM TOO TALL!

After this was taken care of, we were deciding what to do next.
My Splash Mountain heart was breaking because we STILL Had not been on it!?
UGHHHHHHH!

So I made a decision & we trekked all the way back to my perfect laughing place.

w074.jpg

Oh, how I adore you Splash<3

Well, what a freaking surprise...
It was broken down, AGAIN.

I think at this point I actually could feel the pointy parts of my broken heart stabbing me in the skin.

Then, the gates of heaven actually opened up, & by gates of heaven, I mean, SPLASH MOUNTAIN WAS OPEN!

It was perfect timing, we were about to turn around & go somewhere else, but I turned around just in time to see people going in!

"WAIT! IT'S OPEN! LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Before we got on, we realized we could get more FastPasses, SO WE DID!

mlom.jpg

YAY! The holy grail!

It wasn't time for our first FastPasses yet, we had a half hour til those were good, so we jumped in the standby line that said 20 minutes!
What's better than that?!

HA. JUST FREAKING KIDDING.
We ended up waiting close to an hour for it but we took lots of pictures to pass the time!

6iw2.jpg

I didn't care about the line, I was in pure Splash Mountain bliss.

Like, I don't think there are words to describe my love for Splash.
You know in movies when the lead girl or guy sees the girl or guy that they are going to end up with at the end of the movie & time gets real slow & the girl usually flips her hair in a dramatic slow motion fashion?
That's pretty much how I see Splash Mountain, flipping hair & all. If Splash had hair....
MORAL IS. I FREAKING LOVE SPLASH MOUNTAIN.


g655.jpg

Aunt Beth! <3 I call her momma sometimes. :D

7ca8.jpg

ASGJDHGKJDHGJLKDSHGJKGHK. TAKE ME HERE NOW PLEASE!

I tweeted:
"Almost time to get on Splash! BE STILL MY HEART!" 4:02 PM.

e70w.jpg

I'm starting a petition to add a "Brer Libby" sign under these.
I see absolutely no reason why there isn't.
I LIVE THERE AS MUCH AS THE REST OF THEM.
Link for this petition soon to come.

zcjo.jpg


Right before the line goes into the final tunnel thing before you get on the ride,
TORRENTIAL FREAKING DOWNPOUR.

Not quite as bad as the Everest Explosion that occurred the day before, but pretty dang close!

We thought that we were going to get soaked again, but I mean we were gonna get wet on Splash anyways, so who really cares.
But then...
"Looks like Brer Fox & Brer Bear are causing some commotion downstream."
GAHHHHHHH! FREAKING BRER FOX & BRER BEAR! CUT THE CRAP!

I could've burst into tears at the moment.
But you know Florida storms, it passed in 5 minutes.
Thank the heavens.
There was no Everest Explosion Part II.

FINALLY. WE WERE ON SPLASH MOUNTAIN!
You know that episode of That's So Raven where they sing,
Reunited, & it feels soooo gooooood! I was screaming it.

We took up one whole log! Big families for the win.
Kel, Ryan, & me squished ourselves into the front, like we always do, & got ready to ride!!!

If you know me at all, you know the next picture I'm about to post.
My absolute happiest place.
I've gone on endless rants about this, so I'll save it this time, but all you need to know is that this exact spot is my most favorite place IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.
I got so instantly happy when I took this picture, I burst into tears.
That's how much I love it.

Princess wave ensues. <3

We got so freaking soaked.
I don't know why or how, but that was the wettest I had ever gotten on Splash Mountain!
MADNESS!

Hi, I'm Libby & I take strange pictures when I get soaking wet on Splash Mountain.

I just.. I mean... I think.. I don't know why this picture exists.
Everyone in it, looks absolutely ridiculous. :rotfl:

It was getting closer & closer to our ADR time.
WHERE WERE WE GOING!?
Are we ever going to find out?
Maybe I'll just skip it so you never actually know where we had dinner that night.
Just kidding. I would never do that.
1. Because I love ya!
2. Because it was one of my absolute favorite moments in my entire 19 (ALMOST 20!) years of living.


Continued In Next Post!
 
I feel the exact same way about Splash Mountain. I actually hated it when I was younger because I was scared of the drop :confused3 but after a few years something clicked and it basically hit me that it was my favorite ride in all of Disney World :love: I just love it so much, especially the music and Brer Rabbit and seeing the castle really quickly when you're at the top and just UGH WE WILL BE REUNITED SO SOON SPLASH. I actually just got my Splash Mountain Mickeywaffles bow :woohoo:

Fabulous update, and I hope you and your boy get some quality time in before he goes off to basic, and I hope his time away flies by!
 
That beautiful Splash!!! Why is it so wonderful? I still think it's amazing that we have the same happy place! Seriously though, best spot in the world and seeing the tippy top of the castle makes it even more magical. :)
