CINDERELLA!!!! The Vandy girls are BACK!!!**UPDATE 8-8-09! THE END-FINALLY! Page 83**

no superbowl for me. I will either play xbox or we have Ariel's Beginning to watch. :rotfl2:

I know we are going furniture shopping.

hope you have fun watching ariel! actually that sounds kinda fun because i really don't care who wins this year.

Looking forward to the update! We were going to head to a Super Bowl party, but Chelsea was awake sick all night :crazy2: , so I guess we will be staying home. I am so not a football person that I have been thinking all week that it was the St. Louis Cardinals not the Arizona Cardinals (apparently I missed their move at some point) until you said something. :lmao:

I will watch it just to see the commercials!

hope chelsea is feeling better. i will probably be making the commercials my main focus, too!



No, I obviously can't add :rotfl:

And since we are talking about ages I had a guy carding me last night said he would have guessed I was born in '82 so that would have made me 7 years younger maybe I am still thinking about that :rotfl2:

you are too funny!

when we were at ruby tuesday the other day ray ordered a beer and when the server looked at his ID he goes, "1971?????" :rotfl2: it was funny.
 
i thought you guys would be interested to know that since i found out from Megablocks that there's a 3-D thing during halftime, i went and dug out the mickey's philharmagic glasses that ray swiped last year and we will be "sharing" those to watch it. yeah, we'll see how that goes. :lmao:
 
erica was going to write this installment but we figured since my precious tonga toast is featured that i'd do it and she can do the next one. i didn't realize when we figured out a stopping point for me how many pictures we took that day. so get ready for a long update!

so we've come to the last full day of our trip. always so bittersweet! :rolleyes:

we had an ADR this morning at kona cafe so i could get some of my beloved tonga toast! i can't remember the exact time but i'm thinking it was arond 9:30. we drove again and parked at the poly.

we ordered some kona pressed pot coffee. i had wanted to get this when i was here last year but neither of my travel companions drank coffee so i didn't. i was glad erica wanted to share it with me. it was SO GOOD!

01.jpg


as we were sitting there i looked at the table next to me and recognized hayley (eeyore's tailfinder) and her boyfriend els, who was actually her fiance at this point. i just didn't know it! i went over and introduced myself and they were really friendly. it was the last day of their trip but they were heading out on a disney cruise so actually their fun was just beginning. she's doing a dining review which i think is sort of in limbo right now but here's the link if you wanna check it out:

after that our food came. tonga toast..........YUM!!!!!

02.jpg


i would normally get bacon but i was in the mood for ham that day. it was so good!

just before i poured syrup all over it.....

03.jpg


erica ordered french toast with bacon and she said it was really yummy too....

04.jpg


after our delicious breakfast we headed towards the monorail (and saw these guys on the way)....

05.jpg


....and headed to MK! the first place we stopped was the art of disney store. erica got some great pics of the precious moments figures....

06.jpg


07.jpg


08.jpg


she loved this picture!

09.jpg


and this is the one she drooled over the whole trip....

10.jpg


and i do believe this is when i bought my "vision" print which is now framed and hanging over the desk in my office....

10a.jpg


this may have been when i bought the jim shore piece that i got that trip, which was is wendy, michael and john flying, to go with my other peter pan pieces.

we then headed down mainstreet....:goodvibes

11.jpg


we stopped for some photopass pictures...

12.jpg


the photographer told us to look glamorous. :rotfl2:

13.jpg


continued in next post: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=30034801&postcount=1044
 
we decided to head toward adventureland since we really hadn't done much there yet. we passed another photopass guy on the way near crystal palace....

14.jpg


15.jpg


and we visited with tinker bell for awhile....

16.jpg


17.jpg


on to adventureland!

18.jpg


we past these guys but didn't stop.

19.jpg


we headed towards aladdin's magic carpets and who do we see but....

20.jpg


...the man himself! he and jasmine were actually getting on the carpets and chose two kids to ride with. it was so cute!

21.jpg


22.jpg


this little girl with jasmine was just THRILLED! she was adorable.

23.jpg


24.jpg


the spitting camel!

25.jpg


after that we headed towards the tiki room. this is something i usually skip (being a not-so-huge fan of birds and all) but i didn't mind going to see it with erica. she hadn't seen it in awhile.

the waterfall outside....

26.jpg


27.jpg


iago leads the show....

28.jpg


is it just me or does iago have an unusually large back side for a bird? :lmao:

29.jpg


the angry tiki god!

30.jpg


singing flowers. kinda freaky!

31.jpg


32.jpg


after that we stopped and watched captain jack for awhile.....mrow. pirate:

33.jpg


34.jpg


35.jpg


continued in next post: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=30034839&postcount=1045
 

as we headed towards PotC i saw a photopass guy with a tripod and i knew that he was the one that adds the captain hook graphic, so we headed over there. i just love this one! here's one i took of erica without the added graphic....

36.jpg


and now with captain hook!

37.jpg


this is my picture with him....

38.jpg


we did one together and the guy told me to "protect" erica. he also gave her two swords. so if she's the one with two swords, how come I'M protecting HER? :rotfl2:

39.jpg


time to take a ride with the pirates!

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES........

40.jpg


erica took this one and though it's out of focus i think it's cool because it's spooky!

41.jpg


yo ho!

42.jpg


we went to take a potty break over at el pirate y el perico (which was closed) and i thought this area was so pretty!

43.jpg


we then headed over to frontierland and i think we got fastpasses to splash at this point.

44.jpg


then it was time for the wildest ride in the wilderness!!! i always take this picture going up the big incline....

45.jpg


i don't know what i was trying to capture here. :p

46.jpg


we then headed back over to splash and stopped for another potty break. erica rated this bathroom for jordan.

47.jpg


we saw a friend we'd visited with earlier in the week over in this area....

48.jpg


we killed some time in the gift shop for splash mountain until our fastpass time came up. i'd never been in this store before and it was really cute!

we then headed to splash. i just love this ride.....so cute!

49.jpg


50.jpg


51.jpg


of course i wore a poncho. even though it was REALLY hot that day i still really hate walking around in wet shorts. i think they girls in front of me were laughing at me but i'm sure it's not the first time. :upsidedow

52.jpg


we headed further into frontierland and saw some of woody's roundup. it was cute! here's bullseye!

54.jpg


53.jpg


55.jpg


i think they were doing the hokey pokey here and they were "putting their head in."

56.jpg


continued in next post: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=30034856&postcount=1046
 
guess where we headed next? erica's favorite!

57.jpg


58.jpg


some pics of the grave yard. i love these.

59.jpg


60.jpg


61.jpg


erica again attempted a dancing ghost pic...

62.jpg


after we came out erica was looking around on the ground for the ring that used to be in the concrete and we noticed this woman's shoes. just.....why? no way would i wear those to a theme park!

63.jpg


erica loves these little guys!

64.jpg


some more pics from outside the mansion....

65.jpg


66.jpg


the pet semetary....

67.jpg


we stopped at that store right outside the exit to the left and looked around. i got some really cute mickey and minnie thanksgiving salt/pepper shakers that were on clearance. and i took shopping pics....memom will be proud!

68.jpg


69.jpg


70.jpg


it was nearing 2:00 at this point and we were getting kinda hungry. we had had a huge breakfast and we were going to have dinner at hoop dee doo at 5:00 so we didn't want much. we decided to head to pinnochio's to share some figaro fries!

71.jpg


i'm so excited that this is coming out on DVD this year! i have it on VHS but i hardly ever watch my VHS tapes any more other than alice in wonderland, which i pretty much constantly keep in the VHS player in my bedroom.

we got a table upstairs and enjoyed our fries. they now only come with cheese and bacon on them. i asked them if they no longer come with lettuce, tomato and ranch and they gave us all that stuff on the side for no charge. :thumbsup2 they were yummy and they hit the spot perfectly!

72.jpg


the view from our table....

73.jpg


it was a nice break from the heat. it was SO hot that day! i remember after we got finished watching the parade later that i was DYING from sitting in the sun in one place for so long. :scared:

after that we decided to see mickey's philharmagic since that's pretty much the only thing in fantasyland we hadn't done yet (besides IASW).

74.jpg


erica tried to put the 3-D glasses over her camera and take a few pictures but it didn't work very well! :rotfl:

75.jpg


poor donald.....everyone always get to see his rump at the end of this!

76.jpg


we started to head over to toontown because erica wanted to meet the princesses and she didn't get to on her last trip. but then i looked at my watch and realized it was like 2:55 and the parade started in 5 minutes! :scared1: one thing we wanted to do on this trip is see all the daytime parades. so we turned around and walked as fast as we could towards the hub to see if we could get a place for the parade either there or on liberty square.

that's all for now! erica will pick up here with the parade and hoop dee doo, which was an absolute blast! ::yes::
 
Fantastic updates! I love the photopass pictures with Capt. Hook! I'm going to show Hannah the pictures of Haunted Mansion...she thinks she is going to be too scared to go on it! :rotfl: At least that is what she is saying today!
 
/
Great update.. crazy to see Goofy back there. I would love to get those Captain Hook pictures this time!
 
Whoa Dawn! This was a GREAT update!

That Precious Moments with the Lady and the Tramp scene is adorable!

That's so cute that Aladdin and Jasmine were riding the carpets with somebody!

Whoa-Iago has a huge heiney! :rotfl2:

Haha, love your pic with Capt. Hook! Sticking out your tongue just makes the picture! And your tank kinda looks like Mr.Smee's shirt!

And I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes to wear a poncho on Splash! :)
 
Awesome update! My mother and I plan on going over to the Poly one morning for some tonga toast because we haven't had it and it looks soooo good.

I have that Haunted Mansion picture that Erica liked! I got it last April at Epcot, during the Flower and Garden Festival. I also got one that's supposed to be a Pirates of the Caribbean one. We are going to need to stop in that store, because my mom and I spent SO long looking at all his other pictures and were having serious issues making up our minds. I'm also dying to find that "vision" print that you got. I rearranged my room a couple of weeks ago, so now I have more wallspace that needs to be filled. :scratchin
 
That's neat that Aladdin and Jasmine were out on their carpets with the kids!

Good pictures, and lots of them! That's a nice way to start a Monday morning, since Mondays are so not my favorite days.

You should put your shopping pictures over on the Parks Gift Shops thread. There are a lot of shoppers over there (besides me) who would enjoy seeing them.
 
Wow......what a great (and huge) update!!! :goodvibes LOVE the Capt. Hook pics.......the one of the two of you is cute! :thumbsup2 I love the one with you sticking your tongue out too.....classic! What was that lady thinking with those shoes in the park? :rolleyes2 It amazes me what some people wear! Wow.....those figaro fries look amazing! Haven't tried those yet! Can't wait for the next update!
 
Wow! That was a big update! Good stuff!

Can't wait to hear about your HDDR experience! We've been twice and just love love it!
 

This is also one of my favorite things at the MK. Very cheesy I know but as a child I remember doing this with my parents and I just LOVE it!! Same thing with the Country Bears.

Now I do have to say, when they did the referb several years back and added Iago and Zazu. I thought they didn't do a very good job. I'm sure the kids love it and at least they have characters they know but I just don't like it as much. Can you tell I don't like change?? :p


Now, I know I'm going to get beat up for this.....but a guy with eyeliner...I just don't get it :confused: Now Johnny Depp I do think is a little cuter, but just a little

we did one together and the guy told me to "protect" erica. he also gave her two swords. so if she's the one with two swords, how come I'M protecting HER? :rotfl2:
39.jpg

This is pretty funny looking at it again :lmao: And it doesn't look like I would be much help!! :rotfl:

we then headed back over to splash and stopped for another potty break. erica rated this bathroom for jordan.
47.jpg

Yes!! Do not go if you can make it else where!!! At least that day was bad :rotfl:

of course i wore a poncho. even though it was REALLY hot that day i still really hate walking around in wet shorts. i think they girls in front of me were laughing at me but i'm sure it's not the first time.
52.jpg

Oh don't be fooled b/c I was wearing a poncho too....just can't see it. I was NOT willing to get my stuff wet!!!
 
What a great update!!!!!! I have looked for the ring outside of HM and I can never find it!!!!!! HM is my absolute favorite ride!! Of course after that POTC, but I try every time to take the dancing pictures and I can never get one!!!!!!!!

Those figaro fries look really good!!!!!!
 
Fantastic updates! I love the photopass pictures with Capt. Hook! I'm going to show Hannah the pictures of Haunted Mansion...she thinks she is going to be too scared to go on it! :rotfl: At least that is what she is saying today!

thanks! how old is hannah? i'm sure she'll be fine. it's so cheesy - not scary. but i remember being 7 years old and standing in line and hearing that werewolf howl and i was SCARED TO DEATH!

Great update.. crazy to see Goofy back there. I would love to get those Captain Hook pictures this time!

thanks! just look for a photopass person in frontierland with a tripod set up. that's usually the one with captain hook!

Whoa Dawn! This was a GREAT update!

That Precious Moments with the Lady and the Tramp scene is adorable!

That's so cute that Aladdin and Jasmine were riding the carpets with somebody!

Whoa-Iago has a huge heiney! :rotfl2:

Haha, love your pic with Capt. Hook! Sticking out your tongue just makes the picture! And your tank kinda looks like Mr.Smee's shirt!

And I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes to wear a poncho on Splash! :)

thanks! i thought the lady and the tramp one was so cute, too. i didn't think about my tank looking like mr. smee.....funny!

Awesome update! My mother and I plan on going over to the Poly one morning for some tonga toast because we haven't had it and it looks soooo good.

I have that Haunted Mansion picture that Erica liked! I got it last April at Epcot, during the Flower and Garden Festival. I also got one that's supposed to be a Pirates of the Caribbean one.

I'm also dying to find that "vision" print that you got. I rearranged my room a couple of weeks ago, so now I have more wallspace that needs to be filled. :scratchin

thanks! oh, the tonga toast is sooooooo good! but if they give you the fruit puree stuff to go with it ask for syrup because i think it's better. that way you can try both! i bet erica's jealous! she loved that print. i've seen that vision print in both the art of disney store at MK and at DTD marketplace. i'm sure you can find it!

That's neat that Aladdin and Jasmine were out on their carpets with the kids!

Good pictures, and lots of them! That's a nice way to start a Monday morning, since Mondays are so not my favorite days.

You should put your shopping pictures over on the Parks Gift Shops thread. There are a lot of shoppers over there (besides me) who would enjoy seeing them.

glad we could help on your monday morning! i will remember that thread. i hardly have any time these days to keep up with anything other than the TRs i read and the ones i'm writing! :rotfl:

Wow......what a great (and huge) update!!! :goodvibes LOVE the Capt. Hook pics.......the one of the two of you is cute! :thumbsup2 I love the one with you sticking your tongue out too.....classic! What was that lady thinking with those shoes in the park? :rolleyes2 It amazes me what some people wear! Wow.....those figaro fries look amazing! Haven't tried those yet! Can't wait for the next update!

thanks! i don't know about the lady and her shoes. i just know that when i get dressed in the morning when i'm at disney world i don't think, "oh, i'm going to wear my cute wooden clogs today so i can be in excrutating pain by noon!" i just try to decide which pair of sneakers or crocs i'm gonna put on.

Wow! That was a big update! Good stuff!

Can't wait to hear about your HDDR experience! We've been twice and just love love it!

thanks! oh, i loved HDDR! it was great.

This is also one of my favorite things at the MK. Very cheesy I know but as a child I remember doing this with my parents and I just LOVE it!! Same thing with the Country Bears.

ray and i did it when we went in may 2007. and of course i didn't mind doing it with you. it was a nice air-conditioned break! ;) maybe i'm not crazy about it because of the bird thing. but i do love the country bears!

Now, I know I'm going to get beat up for this.....but a guy with eyeliner...I just don't get it :confused: Now Johnny Depp I do think is a little cuter, but just a little

i generally don't like a guy in eyeliner except for, like you said, johnny depp (and anyone imitating him at disney world, although the real version is better) and brandon flowers from the killers. i don't know why but i think it suits him. and for some reason i find it endearing when a man lets their feminine side show a little bit. it's kinda like they're not scared to not be macho. now i'm not saying i'm attracted to a man who takes longer than i do to get ready, but i think being in touch with one's feminine side is a good thing. and no, ray doesn't wear women's underwear! :lmao:

This is pretty funny looking at it again :lmao: And it doesn't look like I would be much help!! :rotfl:

i don't know.....i think if we both let loose on captain hook he'd have some problems.

Yes!! Do not go if you can make it else where!!! At least that day was bad :rotfl:

:scared:

Oh don't be fooled b/c I was wearing a poncho too....just can't see it. I was NOT willing to get my stuff wet!!!

i forgot that you were wearing one too....you had wrapped it around yourself i think? :rotfl:
 
What a great update!!!!!! I have looked for the ring outside of HM and I can never find it!!!!!! HM is my absolute favorite ride!! Of course after that POTC, but I try every time to take the dancing pictures and I can never get one!!!!!!!!

Those figaro fries look really good!!!!!!

thanks! i love HM and PoTC but i think space mountain is my favorite. it holds a special place in my heart because it was my first rollercoaster. i'm kinda glad i'm not going this year because it's gonna be closed for a good portion of the year and i can't imagine MK with no space mountain.

and those fries WERE really good!
 
guess where we headed next? erica's favorite!
58.jpg

:thumbsup2 :yay: :woohoo: YES!!!!! MY FAVORITE!!!!!! :woohoo: :yay: :thumbsup2


I remember this was always my dad's favorite. He loved the tombstones and just thought they were hilarious!

erica again attempted a dancing ghost pic...

62.jpg

This looks ok. One of the better one's I have

But I swear I'm going to ride this over, and over, and over until I get stuck up there and can take a still photo. Even with the slow movement of the doom buggies you can't get even a decent picture really

after we came out erica was looking around on the ground for the ring that used to be in the concrete

Does any one remember this. I have a picture of it somewhere.

But when they did the refurb. they reworked the atic scene. And they put her ring on her finger b/c they said 'you know girls are like that' She wanted to wear it I guess. But it used to be in the bricks right at the gate going out


Nice huh?? :crazy2:

erica loves these little guys!
64.jpg

I love all of it. I bet there are TONS of pictures I could take that would show really cool things!!


I Emma Spook :lmao:


I think this is where I got my mickey wine glasses. I love them, they are SO cute!! I had some stemless white wine glasses and we broke one so I bought 2 of those so I would have 2 plain and 2 mickey's They look good together, but the mickey ones are so cute!


YUMMY!!!
I will get these again!!
Seems like I remember this place being crazy. The thing that makes those fries different are the toppings.....but they don't put the lettuce and tomato on them you have to ask for it :faint:

Seems like they had to make us another fry b/c they spilt drinks on them...it was nuts!

the view from our table....
73.jpg

It was so cute sitting upstairs there. Lots of fun and not as crowded!! :thumbsup2
 
i bet erica's jealous! she loved that print.

Yes I am jealous!! Although I don't know where I would hang it!! But it is SO cool!

i forgot that you were wearing one too....you had wrapped it around yourself i think? :rotfl:

Yep...I ripped it at the top. Didn't care if my hair or top got we just didn't want my bottom soaked and my stuff (my precious camera!!!)

Thanks for the 'remarks' I was coming back to do that next!!

So now I'm going to bed!! :goodvibes
