Derp Derp! The adventures of the Dapper, Disneybounding Princesses! Updated 7/8x6!!!!

[Pluto0809]

Ok, all caught up on this one too!

The Little Mermaid ride is just perfect! Well at least I think so. I love the whole experience including the line.

Ariel is one of DHs favorite princesses so I am sure we will be visiting Ariel's grotto in October. Probably going to do the LM ride and meet and greet first on our MK day. Well, unless by some miracle the new Snow White coaster is open. One can wish!

Such a bummer that you got a nasty CM at BOG. I just love that restaurant although I was sad that they took the Cornish Hen off the dinner menu. I don't know if I'll ever do lunch though because nothing on the menu appeals to me. As long as they have the chocolate cupcake I will be going back for dinner! I spent a while trying to get the wrapper off of mine in March. I'm glad to know they actually don't peel off. I thought I was just stupid or something.

You got some great Meet and Greets in after lunch!

 

[katt789]

Wow, that was seriously sweet of them to ask if they could get you new FP's. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

OH Gawd Paige's photobomb had me laughing.

The only thing cuter than Chip and Dale is Chip and Dale in little cowboy hats.

BTW, they do now have a Chip/Dale together border.

I know!! It was pretty awesome of them. Hahaha, Paige is pretty hilarious! Ah,well I'll have to look for that oen next time!

Love the LM ride!! So much, Ack! The meet and greet is awesome too, haha, Ariel's the best! I really hope that my tattoo removes properly so I can have the chance to be friends with her! I WISH the coaster would be open by Fall, but I doubt it, the princess hall on the other hand, I could really care less about bahaha

I need to find an updated menu from them!! There are a few things that are pretty tasty on the kids menu! Lawl, that's where I'll eat off of. Ahaha, don't worry, we were trying to do that to before we gave up and just ate it out of the thing!

 

[IheartDDuck]

Awww, that's sweet that the people you gifted your PPF fastpasses to asked if you wanted them to get you new ones.

Girl, people are lemmings! They just queue up wherever there are people and are like "oh, there's people here! It must be something amazing!!!!"

Ugh.....snarky CM! We'll travel together someday my friend. I don't get clammed up when people frustrate me, so I would have been all like "excuse me!?". Hahaha! I get mean! And I would be meaner if I realized that I didn't order my cupcake!!

Wedding receptions at Be Our Guest. Great idea!!!

I'm going to say that Rosetta is a "good friend" who's familiar with the DISboards.

Ahahaha thats totally true. Driving through the mountains if people see a car pull over they'll pull over cause they think there's some animal hanging out...

Oh my gosh can we pleeeeeeease!! That would be some crazy trip!! Whatre you doing food & wine time this year?! Bahah

It would be amazing, my wedding needs to happen there!! Ceremony pre park opening just behind the castle, photos, then everyone gets a 1 day park hopper pass to go play all day and meet up for BOG dinner & dancing!! With a break for Wishes of course!!

Probably!! I know if I was hanging with any characters Id notice a LGMH!!

 

[katt789]

I’ll apologize to you guys now for the lack of photos in this update, sometimes I’ll go a long time without taking a single picture, baha! Paige and I headed over to battle some fierce pirates after we had been hanging out with Tink, and I commented that I wasn’t surprised to see a sign saying that there would be no “pirates tutorial” today, thanks to the wet ground. Makes sense because one of the actors who does the “sidekick” roll once took a slip in a puddle, smashed his head, and later died in hospital….eck.

Puddles aside, we headed into the ride and both enjoyed it, though the mermaid skeletons are just creepy, lol. After a quick browse through the gift shop, Paige suggested big thunder and just as we got over to Pecos Bill’s, we realized it was just a little bit too wet, we didn’t want to go on an outdoor coaster with the rain like how it was, wouldn’t be enjoyable. What to do next?! Well, head to the only indoor coaster that Magic Kingdom has of course!

We are seriously walking RIGHT onto Space Mountain! #awesome #nowait #disneyworld #mylifeisWDW​

Yup! The wait was posted at 10 minutes, but we walked straight into our rocket! It was totally wicked! Both Paige and I said that it seemed to be way tamer than the last time we had ridden it, and figured that the other side of the mountain was probably a bit more intense or something. With our adrenaline pumping, we headed back to the hub, seeing that they had guys squeegee-ing the stage, and they had had fans going on it all day when the rain had stopped, we figured that they might actually be doing Dream Along! With a quick check to the times guide, we saw we had just enough time to grab another set of fast passes before the show was to start! We were also aware of the lack of photos we had so far, so I proclaimed that the next photopass person we saw, we would get a picture!

Because of the rain, they were all kind of under shelter, but on our way down Main Street, we saw one in a prime location for us!

Don’t judge…it’s a really saddening time on Main Street without that bakery! I will admit, I’m more than okay with it having some starbucks aspects to it, I love the specialty coffees, and they have soy milk, lactose free milk, and like, a million different options. Although if I do want just a COFFEE, I’d kill for a Tim Hortan’s somewhere in Disney. Paige and I continued to our destination, but got distracted by some awesomeness of singing! I mean, hey, they are the ORGINAL boy band, and, thanks to this weeks “Limited Time Magic” they were singing boy band hits like Nsync and Backstreet Boys!!

Here’s a little video to go along with that as well! It’s super quiet, but you can kinda hear them, and it’s pretty awesome!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft7nuSOsExY

And here: this one popped up when I opened mine, it’s the full set of everything and probably better quality! Lol. (It’s from Disneyland, but hey, same thing, right?)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnCl_RJ93D8

After that distraction, we finally grabbed some fast passes for the princesses for later, and then made our way back up Main Street, and saw that the photopass photographers had come out from under the awning, so we got some more pictures!

The one with the balloons in the background is by far my favorite, it’s just the most perfect summary of Disney, happiness, balloons, the castle, rain….Lawl! But really, it’s so colorful and bright I like it! We finaly made it back to the hub and claimed our spot for our favorite show!

And then they announced that the show was cancelled…I’m not kidding this time. We were super sad, but figured we would be back sometime during the week to watch it, and then we got the special surprise that all the characters/dancers still came out! They half sang/marked the choreography for everything for part of the finale of the show, which was super great! Super hilarious, as they were all walking out, and the princesses and their princes did some kind of spinning thing to get out their gracefully, but Aurora and Phillip just COMPLETELY screwed it up and thus ended up just dying of laughter while they were trying to finish the show!

Paige and I immediately took notice to Wendy and Peter this time, and noticed just how PERFECT Wendy is, I mean, just look at her, she is so pretty, and looks like she could actually be like, twelve years old! Peter was also super young looking, and he also had a derp moment that he forgot what he was doing and screwed up the choreo, bahah!

I have a million pictures of this Wendy just because I have a love for Wendy now, and during the actual show, she’s jumping around so much that it’s super hard to get good pictures of her! It’s also a good thing I had so many pictures, as after posting them on tumblr, I saw someone reblog one and say “A lovely picture of my good friend Wendy!” and after some chatting, I was able to send her the rest of the pictures, which is nice as I know face characters friends are always looking for pictures of them in the parks! Yay!

I also have that super random picture because that girl was seriously tiny, like, the smallest thing ever. This was also the first time I’d seen blonde wigs on anyone in the show!

Cindy’s fab, there’s no doubting that….

You also might find this snow prince hanging around with Flynn during the parties/parades, I’m sure of it!

 

[katt789]

Our slightly modified dreams were still coming true, and the fireworks still went off, and as the performers left, the fans on the stage were replaced, and we were on our way. Since the rain seemed to have stopped for good now, Paige and I were headed back to that outdoor coaster we had skipped past earlier. On the way through Adventureland I noticed a photopass woman standing around the door that’s the exit for the fairies, and we hopped on over there, and asked for some pictures!

She got us to turn around somewhat so that the camera could get our hair accessories in there too! I then commented that I had never seen a photopass in that spot, was it a new thing? And she told us that she was actually waiting for a man in green to arrive, and that maybe we should stick around, as we seemed like we were fans. I immediately understood, that they had moved Peter’s location to be more rain friendly today, Paige took a little bit to get it, but once she did, she insisted that we wait.

The photopass girl was super friendly and we chatted the wait time away like it was nothing. A couple of families joined us for a little bit, and one had the most ADORABLE kids, dressed up as Peter, Tink and others!

Adorable little princesses and pixies in Disney make me so happy!​

Another CM came around in a bit at told the photopass girl that they would be over at the bridge when Peter came out, so we made a nice little game of follow the leader over to the actual meet and greet spot when we were told that. (And now, thinking about it, I find that highly amusing as when the lost/Darling boys go to find the Indians, they’re singing Follow the Leader!) We didn’t have to wait long for Peter to come bounding through Adventureland and over to our spot. On the way, he was sneaking around up behind some lady, trying to half get her attention, but still be sneaky, and she had absolutely no idea he was even there!

Since we had been waiting before the spot was even known, we were definitely first in line when Peter arrived, he took note of our outfits,

Peter then said he liked Paige’s bow, and Paige said “thanks! I’m you!”

Peter: Well if you’re me, who am I?

Us: You’re a codfish? Hook! You’re hook.

Peter: NO! I don’t want be hook!

Paige: I’m actually your shadow, not you!

Peter: If you’re my shadow, then you’ve got to do whatever I do….

He then proceeded to lead Paige around doing various huge movements and just looking ridiculous as per usual…

It was a grand moment. Then it was posing time, and Peter jumped into various, different Peter esque poses for the different shots/cameras that we had!

It was pretty awesome! Paige really liked him, and I definitely thought he was WAY better than the last time I’d met this Peter, when he was super quiet and awkward, like, no. But I’ve got my favorite Peter, the one from Sept last year, he’s great. I also had a friend comment on a facebook picture of this Peter that he was “way too old” Bahah! Either way, he was fun this time!

Before Paige and I thanked him and our newfound photopass friend, we made sure to give him the “tag” from Tinkerbell, and he asked if we were planning on visiting anyone else today and when we told him “the princesses” he told us to make sure we would tag Aurora from him! Then it was time for us to make our way BACK into Adventureland.

Our original plan had been to go grab fast passes for Big Thunder, then watch the parade, use the fast passes, and then use the princess fast passes that we still had. Yeah….back in the day, the princesses AND Mickey were NOT connected, and you could hold them and a ride FP at the same time….that’s only true for Mickey now…and we didn’t find that out until the FP machine at BTMRR spat out “Not a valid FP” tickets at us. BOO URNS! Defeated by the fast pass system, we claimed a spot in Frontierland to watch the parade!

Paige is attempting the smolder here? Bahaha. But seriously, I don’t know, I look ridiculous, but what else is new?! I was a little worried that the rain would have washed away hopes of the actual parade, but soon enough, the Grand Marshals were rolling on through!

The rain may have washed away our chance to dream with Mickey earlier, but it was not too wet to celebrate them, which made me happy, because honestly, I really do like this parade!

 

[katt789]

My favourite, and NUMBER 1! Lawls, which one is number 1? Why, Donald of course, love that little duck so much! He’s my number 1, sorry Mickey!

As we started to see the performers making their way through the route, Paige remembered how much she hated it that when the girl and guy would dance together, they wouldn’t be wearing matching colors of costumes, and that really irked her, baha!

The magic was certainly going during this parade, Paige had her birthday button on, since this trip was a birthday/Christmas present, and nearly every single character would spot her out of the crowd and wish her a happy birthday, Snow White even blew kisses! It was absolutely adorable, and she definitely still talks about it, truth that Disney magic isn’t just for the little ones, it’s for the kids inside all of us!

Aladdin was SUPER enthusiastic today, just completely and totally into it, his movements were big, his facials were fantastic, and again, he was blowing kisses to everyone, it was just amazing. Paige said he might be relatively new to the parade, hence why he was giving it so much, but maybe he’s just awesome? Who knows?! Also…Bert is derpy…

My favsies! I don’t know when it turned into my favsies, but it just did! I have such an obsession with Peter Pan right now, and I don’t think I’ve EVER wanted to be friends with anyone more than Wendy and Alice! I’m considering a change in my MNSSHP costume to be Wendy, plus it’s an easy group costume to do. Would you be able to tell who I was if I was still blonde? I think so… lols. I also was noticing a bunch of other “hidden” things on a lot of the floats today, like, there’s a little Bernard and Bianca from The Rescuers, and a Dumbo/Stork, and later in the week I even saw a miniature Partner’s Statue on one of the floats!

The fact that the Tremaines do their own version of the choreo in the 3pm parade makes me so happy! #disney #disneyworld #mylifeisWDW​

It seriously kills me, because they’re doing the choreo, but they’re doing it SO in character that it’s just hilariously amazing. I of course, didn’t think to video it, but if you skip to about 9:16 in this video, you can see the oh so classiness of the Tremaines:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAHcbZcT5RA


SIDENOTE: If you pause the video at exactly 10:00, and look near the far right of the screen, you can see Paige and I….this was filmed our last day in the parks…Not even kidding…I’m in all pink and Paige has an orange top on….lawl!.

Cinderella, the Fairy Godmother, and of course the rest of the princesses all sent their birthday wishes/kisses and love over to Paige, it really was just amazing how awesome they were today!

I also really think that they should put the old crown back on Belle, even with her new hairstyle, it just looks empty without a crown or tiara up there, and no hair ribbon, it’s odd. I hope they realize this and put it back up there.

The parade finished, and I saw that the friend of Naveen that was out today was not the friend I had been hoping for, oh well, another day it would have to be. Paige and I checked out fast pass time for the princesses, and decided to race the parade down to Town Square Theater…would we make it??

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Yeah good call on Big Thunder. I did it once in the rain and you pretty much get pelted. Though it's pretty funny listening the to train's constantly screeching breaks (more than usual that is) on drops and stuff.

Haha the pic in front of the bakery is priceless!

Tim Horton's for the win! It needs to be added to Epcot.

Wow, I was going to comment that Wendy was a perfect Wendy, then you said it.

Darn. I had a Dream Along cancelled last month, I didn't know they would come out on stage like that. Boo-unrs indeed.

You always get such amazing parade/performer pictures. Lack of photos...

Ahaha, yeah coasters in the rain just isn't the funnest thing.

Oh my god yes, just somewhere to get tims would be fantastic!

YES! She's perf, like so adorable and completely accurate.

 

[Pluto0809]

Two parade updates at once (one on your other TR)!

Bummer that you had some rain but at least it cleared up enough so you could enjoy some of your day.

That's good to know that the Princess FP is now tied to the system. I may need that knowledge when I go in Feb 2014. Of course who knows what the FP system will be like by then with all the FP+ changes!

Score that you stumbled on the line for Peter's meet without even knowing it. And you got some unique PP pictures in the process. That Peter sounds like a lot of fun.

I love checking out all the floats in that parade to find all the "hidden" characters on them.


ETA:

Happy Birthday!!

Hahaha, yeah, weird how things time out like that! The rain wasn't that bad, definitely had worse, but hey rain in Disney is so much better than rain here!

Oh my god I don't even want to THINK about the whole FP plus stuff, like, seriously, just no...

I was glad Peter was a lot better this time around!!

And THANK YOU!! It'll be a tame birthday, guess that kinda happens once you're no longer a kid haha, but still great. I'm just happy I get to dance today!

 

[ILGoofy]

I'M FINALLY CAUGHT UP ON YOUR EIGHTY BAZILLION REPORTS!

And I took notes...

There was a Dapper Day in September when I was there last year. They were all gathered at HS and had a photo shoot basically, in the middle of Sunset Blvd with TOT in the background. My friend and I were realllly confused until we asked a CM. We were a little jealous. I would have loved to dress up for that.

I have 1900 Park Fare scheduled for both breakfast and dinner in September. I will be sure to use the bathroom on your advice.

I love Stitch but that wakeup call is just too shrill for early mornings.

Aw, hairbows! Love.

I always do the chicken exit for RnRC, too. They really need to do something with that hallway. I feel like walking through that hallway is scarier than the ride, like a monster is on the other side of the door.

I feel like you could make flip books of your BATB and FOLK pictures and watch the whole show with them!

Love love love Yacht Club. My family and I stayed there when it just opened. They upgraded us for free from CBR just to get guests in the door. That will likely be the only time I stay there. $$$! All I remember from that trip is the pool and buying giant Pongo and Perdy stuffed animals and carrying them into Epcot. I don't even know if we went to the rest of the parks?

Fantasmic! is my favorite of the shows. Illuminations does absolutely nothing for me and even though Wishes is great, fireworks only entertain me for so long. I need pyro, dragons, boats, and characters, I guess. But I hate that my pictures are always crap.

I'm really looking forward to ETWB. Every person seems fascinated by the mirror in TRs. I picture myself standing there like, wait, wha? I want to eat in BOG, but my friend who usually goes with me is in love with BATB, so I feel like I should wait until she's there with me. Then we can be all squee together.

Ahahahaha, I'm impressed! Thanks for reading along and I'm glad you've been keeping entertained!!

Heck, I take notes when I'm reading just one update, then I usually have a million things to say ahah.

It was pretty awesome, and the day for this year's Sept one is the 21st, a mere two days after I leave...BOOOURNS! It was great to be a part of it without doing any of the meet ups or anything, but next time I want to do those too! There were SO MANY people out for this year's it was great!

When in Sept are you dates?! (you were the one that said something bout the Rapunzel dress in the other TR, right?) And awesome, 1900 is delicious and a great experience. I do find that you end up waiting a while for Alice/Hatter at breakfast but it's still fun!

It's a pretty great experience, and definitely worth while to do at least once during the trip! I'd also say go to BOG!! It's a different experience every time, and every time I walk in there it takes my breath away!

 

[katt789]

Paige and I booked it across the street and through the underpass beside the Country Bears, and before we knew it, were racing through Adventureland and ducking through the crowds down by the Crystal Palace. When we got to the end of Main Street, we had managed to beat the parade, and were allowed to quickly run across to get over to Town Square Theater! We were rocking this thing! The posted wait time was 30 minutes, but with the lovely fast passes that we had we were in to see some royalty in under five! Gotta love that fast pass system! Yay!

She was super adorable and super pretty, I seriously am so impressed with her new hair and dress! The dress looks more like it did in the movie, and the hair I know some people have said looks too “messy” but it looks a little more modern, and I do really like it. She warned us to keep our shoes on during our adventures today!

We thanked Cinderella and moved on to the next Princess, Aurora! Now, let me tell you, that is a redesign that I could not be more excited about! I’ve also heard that some people have seen it and it looks amazing and is super slimming and just awesome. Thank goodness!

We gave her the tag from Peter, and she said that they had that game of tag going on for months, and she played along with it well, but we were sad that she didn’t give us someone else to tag. We also noticed that she looked a LOT like Kirstin Dunst…weird…she also noticed that we looked like her friends Tink and Peter, which was fun!

Rapunzel was of course, the last one for us to meet, and she was another one that came right up to us and brought us into the “picture” spot while she talked.

Rapunzel was super cute, and liked that we had both brought our satchels with us, asking if we kept our tiaras hidden safely in them. Well of course we do! Paige asked about her tiara, and if Flynn had the habit of stealing it anymore, and she said he didn’t but he did keep it safe for her. Eugene keeps it in his satchel because no one really expects that anymore, right? So it’s the safest place! (P.S. we loved that she actually called him Eugene. P.P.S. If you ever have the chance to meet Flynn, make sure to ask what’s in the satchel… )

And with that, we were done with Town Square Theater! We thanked Punzie and headed out after a quick browse through all the princess merch in the exit shop, I mean, who can resist?!

 

[katt789]

Paige and I headed out of the theater and started on our way down Main Street, and since the rain had decided to stay away, there were tons of photographers out and about!

Yay for getting us to pose like princesses! Its actually quite hilarious how often well jump up for a photo and just automatically hit the princess pose&that doesnt help with the are you two cast members? question, but whatever, Im not bothered by it! Haha! Since our original plan to get fast passes for Big Thunder had been crushed, we headed over there next, hoping that the standby wait wasnt too long. It was posted at 30 minutes, but we braved the line anyways, and managed to get into the mine train in only 15! Heck yes! It was a great ride, and honestly, it was way longer than I remembered! It was also super freaking loud in the bits when the train is climbing the hills, Paige and I both had our ears covered, eck.

We decided that another character meet and greet was due next, or possible a ride on the Jungle Cruise, so we stopped at the line for the Arabian couple, and the cast member told us they would be out in ten minutes, and that the line would be closed soon. Okay, so wed run over and grab some Jungle Cruise fast passes and be right back, that works, right? Now, we had this whole conversation to/in front of the attendant, and then made the dash over to JC and back&.to find the line closed&..REALLY!? Like, I get it, one of us should have stayed in the line while one of us ran to get the fast passes, but there was no one new in line, and we were gone for under a minute. Super annoying!

Figuring that we could probably use a little snack, and that some sugar would help, and the fact that Paige had never had a Dole Whip, Im sure you can guess where our next stop was!

That ones mine, Im pretty sure Paige just got the regular soft serve, not totally sure. Maybe it was the orange/pineapple swirl? I cant remember, baha! I of course, love the Dole Whips! I prefer the vanilla pineapple swirl, especially if Im getting the float, otherwise thats just too much pineapple! Lol.

While we were standing in line, there was a small family, a Dad and I think, 3 young girls. At one point when we were waiting for our snacks, he turned to me and asked Im sorry, my girls want to know if you work here and then went on to explain.

Just had a Dad tell me that his kids said Dad I think thats really Tinkerbell& #gooddisneybound #fairies #neverland​

The older girl was old enough that (at least in my opinion) she would know that Tinkerbell has lots of helpers/friends around the parks to help her in her busy day, and thought that I was one of those helpers. Or she literally thought I was Tink, either of which I highly accept. Getting mistaken for a cast member, by a guest, or another CM is always amazing, and Ill always be accepting of it, I mean, who wouldnt?! Lol.

With our ice cream slowly being eaten, we headed back towards the hub it was close to 5 oclock, and we had an important date with the castle stage at 5:15! Paige and I decided that it was more than okay to just grab a spot and hang out for now, people watching.

So happy to be HOME! #feelings #mlifeisWDW ​

Story time, when I took that picture, I definitely took one, and turned to Paige and asked How do you make yourself look cute in all these?! Shes definitely more hip than me when it comes to that kind of stuff, Im more than okay taking selfies, but shes a pro at it, and does it like, every couple of minutes when cool stuff is going on, baha! With her help I think I got it though! Lol.

I also dont know why those first two look so much darker, I want to say that it was just the effect from using a phone instead of a camera, but I also think they might actually be from later in the day&WHO KNOWS?! Im pretending they go here.

Self portraits taken and posted to the appropriate social media sites, Paige and I chose a spot right near the stage and a took a seat to wait. Right at 5:15, the show started, and we made the motion to stand up, as people usually do&.but absolutely no one else did. Not wanting to be those people who stand, directly in front of you, for a whole show, we awkwardly shifted back to our butts and took a seat while our dreams came true!

It was nice to see a bunch of new dancers, especially to know that they really do base things off auditions (which occurred late October) rather than well, theres 6 out of the 13 cast that want to stay, so we only have this many rolls available kinda thing. BUT, I was sad to not see my favsies from the last time!!

Snow White was so adorably cute, and Cinderella, UGH, beyond beautiful. Ive seen this girl hanging out with Cindy most of the times Ive watched the show, I really wish I could get her in a meet and greet, she seems amazing, and that dress and new hair just WERK with her, shes gorgeous!

On top of being gorgeous, Cinderella also had an amazing frame while she danced with Prince Charming! Obviously, you need some kind of dance training to be in Dream Along, but Ive noticed a lot more technique on the ballroom side since starting, and her back and frame and all that during the partner stuff looked amazing. Usually the partner work in this and B&tB at DHS looks not so great because theyre all ballet/jazz dancers, so good on Cindy!! Aurora and Phillip managed to get all the moves down and right this time around&good on them too! Lol.

Now, as you know, Paige and I are saps, huge saps, especially for Disney feels and there are many points during a Disney day that you will find us crying. Well, you know the moment when Mickey asks Minnie to join him, and Minnie says that shes not a princess, and Mickey goes Well gosh Minnie, youve always been a princess to me! And they waltz away with the princesses? Paige tapped me on the arm at that point, and when I turned to her, she pulled off her sunglasses to reveal that she had tears streaming down her face. Awww Paigey! Its okay! But really, we get emotional, its okay, well get over it! Lol.

Wendy is absolutely adorable! I cannot WAIT until she joins Peter for meet and greets! I also really hope that theyll be out for MNSSHP, they were out at MVMCP this year, so fingers crossed!!

So I was definitely only going to post two updates today, but then realized DAWM was in both updates, whoops!!

***********

The girls in those photos are just beyond adorable, haha!

What’s that I hear? Is it your old friend the Crocodile?! (Oh my gosh, can we just pause for a minute to talk about how DERPY the crocodile in Peter Pan is?! SO ADORABLE!)

Nope, it’s just a clock, silly Captain Hook! I also love how everyone’s laughing away like it’s some little hilarious joke and it’s all in good fun, and then BAM! Malificient does what she does best, shows up randomly at a party she WASN’T INVITED TO, surprise, surprise…

UGH! Mickey and Minnie kissing is just WAY too adorable, like, seriously, my love!

We both, of course, enjoyed the show. I mean, Dream Along is one that I will purposely set aside time to watch it, or if it’s going on and I happen to be in the hub, I’ll stop and watch! Even with the new dancers, we both liked it, the little blonde one was super good! I also noticed that watching from sitting down, a different angle, was interesting. It was harder to photograph, because the stage cut off the lower half of the people, and you could see a bit of Cindy’s tummy under the dress, nothing inappropriate (check out some of the pictures, you can see it there) I’ve known for a while that all the princess “dresses” are actually two pieces, so you can custom fit them better, but it’s still a weird thing to see every so often! Lol.

The show was over, and our emotions back in tact, Paige and I made a little bathroom trip, over behind Merida’s meet and greet spot, it was just the closest to where we were, and then made our way back to the hub! On the way back we saw the most AWESOME Ariel and Eric Disneybound too! It was super simple, they already had the correct hair colors, and she had green skinny jeans/leggings on, with a purple tank top, and he had jeans, a white shirt and a red “belt” Like, that’s how easy it is to throw together a Disneybound!

Paige and I took a seat for a little bit on a bench to the right hand side of the partner’s statue while we waited, and sure enough, at 5:40 on the DOT, we could hear the Move It Shake It Celebrate It music starting down at the other end of Main Street! Let’s take a listen, shall we?

Ahhh…..makes me so happy. Seriously. This is my main jam, all day, everyday! It’s definitely my main jam while I’m running. I’ll do a lot of Disney parade/show songs for my cardio, cause it’s super easy to do intervals, and to not always stay the same length. Like, I’ll listen to Boo To You, and with each different “section” of the parade, I’ll do a different level of intensity, or like, go super fast for one, then jog for two kinda thing! Then at the end when I feel like dying, I usually throw on FOTLK and think of that bird and just push through any pain, lol!

SIDETRACKED. WOW.

I apologise….but if you didn’t expect it by now you really don’t know me….

Okay, so Move It Shake It is super easy choreo, especially at the beginning when they’re coming down Main Street and around the hub, and since Paige and I are both dancers, we both picked it up super easily last year! We also may or may not have had a dance party to it in my living room when we were having a Disney day….NO SHAME! So, as it’s coming down Main Street towards us, we get up, and manage to get a front row, no one around us spot, and start busting it out. Cause we’re that cool.

I won’t lie, a bunch of the cast members took notice to us, which really, is expected, but that’s okay. Some of them were totally into it, and like “Yeah! Werk it!” and some of them had that “uhm..okay…you think you’re cool” look on their faces. Now, we were both well aware that we weren’t going to get approached by someone and have them be all “you know all the choreo, why don’t we just hire you?!” I mean, that’s ridiculous, we just really freaking LOVE Move It Shake It, and love dancing, why not partake?! King Louie specifically took notice of us and loved it! We also made a new friend with one of the guys that was up on stilts, he was super attractive, and I mean, why wouldn’t we notice?!

Frozone was being awesome as per usual, he was super into the super hero poses! Paige and I waited until the dance party part of everything started, and we were a little hesitant about actually going out into the road, until King Louie literally herded us into the middle of it! (I say herded because Louie can’t really grab hands….lawls)

We had an absolute BLAST dancing through the entire thing, an King Louie made sure that we spent the entire time with him and had fun and never stopped dancing. Let me tell ya, that 20 minutes can be a tough one on ya, bahah! I feel for these performers! It really was totally awesome to be paid attention to like that, and it wouldn’t be the last awesome dance party of the day…or week…

When it was time to take the party back to the sidewalk, we moved back into our spot where we had started, and continued to groove along to everything, which is when we noticed our stilts friend was eyeing us! IIIIEEE!!! We started doing (what we thought was) discreetly talking about him, and saying that maybe he was actually our cowboy from last Halloween (story to come!) and that he was cute, and you know the regular girl talk, when he came RIGHT over to us, and with the ribbon (they’ve all got ribbons at the end of the show) was all “Nobody likes secrets!” With this grin on his face and swished the ribbon towards us jokingly. Like, hello, super flirt. When the little confetti canons went off at the very end we, like the children we are, jumped up and tried to catch as much as we could without stepping into the street. Well, the guy saw this, laughed, and grabbed as much of it as he could before handing it all to us, along with blowing us some kisses/handshakes to thank us for the dances. It was hilariously amazing.

When the parade was going around that last time, Goofy was blowing so many kisses to us, so of course we blew some back to him, and he “fainted” over on the float, it was also awesome. Paige and I got so much interaction during Move It Shake It, it was fantastic!

Now, somehow, neither Paige or I managed to get a picture of our new super attractive friend, despite how often we actually saw him this week, BUT, when I was going through old pictures from last Sept, he was actually in a bunch of them! WHAT WHAT?! AWESOME!!! So, here’s a reference pic of him for ya’ll!

See…super cute…it’s the dimples…I swear, there’s something about dimples on Disney boys that just gets me SWOONING. Now, onto the cowboy story from last year to wrap up the update.(Yup, that's right, I'm giving you spoilers of Sept TR that I haven't gotten to yet...) During MNSSHP we were watching Boo To You, again, right against the rope, and during the cowboy section, the cowboys do like, four counts, of thrusting, towards the sides of the parade route. Paige had been biting her lip that day cause they were super chapped, and happened to be doing this RIGHT as the cowboy directly in front of us was thrusting. He then made eye contact with us and asked “ya like that ladies?!” And winked. Now, if you watch some cowboy bits of MNSSHP, you will see just how flirty these guys are, it’s insane. As we walked away from Move It Shake It, we wondered if by any remote chance, this new “friend” of ours was the same cowboy from was year…it’s possible…who knows?!?!

Awesome meet and greet with the princesses!

One of these days I'm going to watch the whole Dream Along with Mickey although I feel like I've seen the whole thing from reading your TRs!

I'm glad to finally read the whole story of your Move it Shake it guy. I'm disappointed I didn't get to see him that day with you guys!

 

[ronnmel]

Wow! I love how much interaction you guys got! You make me want to stay and actually watch the Move it Shake it parade and participate in the dancing. Also, don't hate me but I've never watched Dream Along With Mickey from start to finish.

I loved watching Wishes from sitting down in the hub once.Easier on the feet! I can see how it can make it harder for pictures if it's a show and you are close to the stage though.

As for your darker pictures, the tunnel that goes through the castle is opened, and there is no "purple tent", so I'm thinking they're from later. Maybe when you were waiting for Wishes?

I have seen the new Aurora dress, and given that it's probably not something I would normally notice, this one I did. It is SOOOO much better. Like WAY better. Everything about it is better, but that's just my opinion.

Never had a Dole Whip... WHAT!!?? Last trip I had the orange/vanilla swirl pineapple float which I think is my new fav. But they're all good.

That's a really cute moment being mistaken for the "Real Tink". Really nice.

I really think it's so totally awesome that you get emotional during Disney things.

I have really grown to love Dream Along and Move It Shake It more and more all the time. Move It Shake it is totally my favourite "parade" now and only behind Boo To You overall. The energy, the costumes, it's great.

I am a longtime lurker but need to post to tell you that I am loving your trip reports! 'We're not going to Edmonton!" As an Edmontonian, I found this hilarious. Who wouldn't chose Disney over Edmonton???

I also believe that Timmie's is required at Epcot-though I would have to start all mornings there. Nothing wrong with that. I have brought individual packets of Tim Horton's when we stayed at CBR.

I love the Stampede and definitely think Chip n Dale would fit right in

I can't wait to eat in the West Wing...October 2014 is much too far away!
