Finally we made it to the lobby where I ran into another Christmas tree! Did I mention this trip report is going to have copious amounts of Christmas tree and decoration photos? Because it will!
I'm perfectly okay with this. Disney Christmas = best Christmas.
I think all the boats on this tree are so cool!
Alnd why is she wearing so much eyeliner?
Oh my gosh!! Lilo, cool it!
Yeah...this looks really strange.
Is it just me or is the shape of his head kind of...off? It reminds me of Stewie's head from Family Guy.
Woah... *cue horror music*
When we did our first year of annual pass trips I thought that would be the only year...but I don't think that's going to be the case.
I'm having this same problem! I was sure we'd only ever do it once. Now we're renewing them this month for another year...and I'm like "It'll definitely only be for two years!" Hah...we'll see.
Immediately I spied the rose gold ears! There were actually tons of them, we saw them everywhere during our trip.
It seems that Disney finally wised up about the demand for rose gold ears because I saw them everywhere, too. Very unlike the way I was being harassed about my Etsy rose gold ears when we were there in August.
Josh commented "They should stop trying to make Dr Facilier happen".
He's such a mean girl.
Oh my gosh!
Josh...how do I begin to explain Josh?
Josh is flawless.
He has two Fendi purses and a silver Lexus.
I hear his hair's insured for $10,000.
I hear he does car commercials... in Japan.
His favorite movie is Varsity Blues.
One time he met John Stamos on a plane.
And he told him he was pretty.
One time he punched me in the face... it was awesome.
I'm a bit overly cautious about bedbugs
Oh my gosh, me too! My grandmother brought them home from a trip once and it was months and tons of money to get rid of them and we didn't dare go over to her house to visit for like a year.
But seriously though...those things are the absolute spawn of Satan. I try not to obsess too much about them on vacation, but I always make sure to do a quick check of the room and the beds before we settle in too much.
And this lady who overheard said "it's a perfectly fine spot why don't you just sit there sweetie" like I was kid throwing a tantrum. When she said that I felt like maybe I was making too big a deal about where to sit? But I don't think not wanting to sit in back of a tree is that bad. I mean if it's a good seat why didn't they want to sit there?
Uggh! Yeah, if it's such a great spot, why was it still empty when all the front/center spots were gone!? Huh!?
I tapped on her shoulder and asked if she was "saving these seats for 28 people" I thought she'd think is funny because to me that sounded ridiculous. Then she goes "actually we are our family is sitting in this row!" I couldn't help myself I said "I don't think you can save seats like that", but she didn't say anything, and I wasn't just going to sit there and start a fight with them so we moved on.
Here is my Disney rant: I haaaaaate this. I hate people saving seats. If you want your whole gigantor party together, arrive the eff together. I double hate the people in lines who come up and want to get ahead of you to be with their family. NO. If you want to sit together, arrive together. It drives me crazy. I do like how at certain shows (FOTLK in particular) they have signs that say all party members must get in line together (although they still don't really enforce it
)
I'm not talking about people in a long line who have a kid that needs to use the restroom or whatever, but the people who send two or three people ahead and then five more want to push past you. I hate it. The only time it's acceptable to me is if it is a character meet at a party or something, and someone holds a spot for a group photo.
Oh my gosh I can't stand this!!! If it's like one small child with an adult supervising them who is having a meltdown and can't sit still waiting an hour for a show, that I can understand. I can see why people would save 1-2 extra seats for them for something like that. But when people save a row for their entire family!?? Oh my gawd! I can't!! So inconsiderate! Show up together, or don't show up at all and risk getting bad seats! Those of us who actually showed up early deserve to sit in those seats and wait. I can't believe that you did a dining pack and got there an hour early and still couldn't have a good selection of good seats. Wild.
It was a beautiful show, and he was a really great narrator, but it was so cold! I would've liked it more if I wasn't so cold, and it went a bit longer than I thought (closer to an hour than 40 mins).
Glad you enjoyed it! But after how freezing we were on our recent trip, I can imagine how much being so cold put a damper on things.
Because we had decided most our Christmas and birthday gifts were the trip.
We did this, too! Best Christmas present ever!
This is fantastic!! Definitely needs to be framed!
We had requested Cabanas (wanting a refurbed room), and got Ranchos (no refurbed rooms), we had requested a high floor and got ground floor, we had requested close to the main building and got literally the farthest building out. The only thing we kind of were was close to transportation, but almost every building there has transportation outside of it so it's kind of hard to be far away from it.
Aw man! They got it as wrong as possible! I've considered using the touring plans request before but never done it. Now I'm not sure if it would be worth it or not.
and the constructions buttons were so cute
I love these buttons! We didn't have much issue with construction there at all. I was really disappointed when we didn't get cute buttons like this at CBR this winter, even though the construction there seemed much more pervasive than at CSR.
I'm glad we did it once with a narrator we wanted to see, but I'd be fine not doing it again.
