Disney Gives Us the Warm Fuzzies - Take Two. TRIP REPORT HAS BEGUN! 1/20 Pg. 92

[Flossbolna]

I'm really excited about the 4 Parks/1 Day. I'm looking forward to it.

I just got done watching the news and they are reporting SNOW AND SLEET in the Orlando area.

I haven't checked the weather in the last two days. Maybe I should do that.....

Yes, poor runners!!! But it is supposed to improve at the start of next week!! I'll keep all my fingers crossed for you that this is true!

 

[Happydog]

Crazy unheard of weather all over the place!!?? FLORIDA!!! DISNEY?? NOT the fake snow they put out for the Christmas season??!!! I would think that could be enough... I am sure everyone is saying "okay -- um this was NOT part of my Disney Magic...."

Love the Four Parks idea .. Sounds like a great idea for a photo montage!

 

[4hunters]

Great ideas for the 4 in 1! You must be soooo excited! When I go, I can hardly contain myself the whole week before!

Yea!!!

 

[meeko_33785]

Sounds like a cool plan to me. Looking forward to seeing how this goes. What a way to start a trip!


Did you hear anything about the Toontown Teardrop character greets ending? I remembered that you said you were interested in checking that out, and I saw a post recently from a CM that said that they have ceased and that the random greets that use to be there might have been moved to the American Adventure or the area between Showcase Plaza and Canada at EPCOT and the former Pocahontas theater at AK. Not sure if this is true or not, but I think it's still worth a look at the Teardrop and the rumored other locations just in case.

I checked the weather and it's saying highs in the 60's. I can totally handle that.

I am so excited. I'm so ready to go!!

I haven't read that. I'll check out the tear drop and those other locations you mentioned. It's just something I wanted to check out so if they aren't there then it will be okay. Thanks for the info!

5 Days!

5 Days!!

5 Days!!!

5 Days!!!!

5 Days!!!!!

One of my favorite things to eat at WDW....

Cobb Salad from Brown Derby!!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!! I can't wait. This is one excellent salad.

Definitely a fave of mine!! I am so going to enjoy eating this on our DHS day!!! I'm also looking forward to walking out into an empty, dark park...let's hope we won't have any issues find the car....I might have had some trouble the last time I left DHS at night LOL!!!

You know what I just realized? I really only have 4 days!! How am I going to get everything finished!?! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

I finally started packing. I go between thinking I have too much stuff and then 5 minutes later I think I have too little stuff. UGH.

Cobb Salad, the BEST salad on the planet!

Do I need to give you my standard pep talk -- remember your camera, clean underwear, and your angry eyes (for bad mannered people at parades, etc.), and the rest can be bought.

Besides, anything you don't pack and end up needing, Jen will be able to pull out of her Magic Mary Poppins bag.

I am really freaking out this trip in regards to packing. I think it's because of the blister debacle in May. I don't want to be caught unprepared in anyway for any situation.

I'm also debating my camera. I keep thinking about only bringing my small camera but that means I probably won't get as good pictures at the shows like Finding Nemo. My camera is heavy and it dragged me down in May. I don't know. Then I think if I just bring my backpack in the parks then I'll be fine but do Jen and I both really need to bring honking big back packs into the parks with us?

Do you see why I'm overwhelmed?

Yeah, I would be a little gun shy on the bluster situation.

Bring your backpack and another smaller bag -- that way if you decide you don't want a huge park bag and your big camera, you can switch out. A bag packs flat in your suitcase.

Do you see why I'm overwhelmed? :rotfl2

I would so love to be able to come over and help you pack.

I also read this information on the character greet site! According to the site, the teardrop meet n greet area is no longer being used as they are getting ready for the refurb in that area.

Truer words have never been spoken! I told Leslie whatever she thinks she forgot chances are I will have two of them with me and 1 in the Mary Poppins Bag...

Okay so now I'm starting to think that I should make a pin or sign for my backpack....but when to do that LOL! I haven't even started packing yet..well at least not my clothes!

Go pack some clothes, girl!

I will have you know..that at no point has my Mary Poppins bag ever been honking big, actually she maintains a very nice trim physique and I never overpack her so she's bulging...now your backpack on the other hand I cannot speak for LOL


OOH this reminds me its time to re-Scotchguard her!!! YAY!

You should see the big bag of bandaids I have. I know I'll never use them all but I'm worried so I'm packing way more than needed.

Yes, come on up and help me pack!

I also read this information on the character greet site! According to the site, the teardrop meet n greet area is no longer being used as they are getting ready for the refurb in that area.

Well balderdash. We'll find characters in other places then!

Yes, you do need something very Mary Poppins like for your backpack!

Agreed!

You and your scotchguard. You are too freaking cute.

Okay, it's not honking big. I just think sometimes a backpack is too big to carry into a park but I understand the merits of it and appreciate it. I just feel for myself it's honking big.

 

[jenjolt]

Well she and my tennis shoes now have a new application of Scotchguard on them!!!! I think one of us having a backpack will be just fine, I tend to have a bit of OCD so it's okay with me and by now I know how to manuever MP (my new nickname for her don't you like it) around so not to big of a deal LOL!!!!!

I thinking I might scotchguard my hoodie too LOL Maybe I'll just pack the can of Scotchguard with me too...

Speaking of which...I bought stuff today...oh yes I did LOL!!! OH and my blanket came...but its still in the box LOL!

5 days!!!
You'll get everything done.

The Cobb salad looks delicious. I've never had it. I always order the NY Strip. Maybe I need to change it up.

 

[DisMomAmy]

I've never had a Cobb salad... I eat a lot of salads, usually garden salads with iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, cucumbers, etc. I like most of the bad stuff you can put on salads too- croutons, bacon, cheese... Can you describe the famous Cobb salad to me??

 

[Flossbolna]

I found the pin that Jen needs for her backpack:

http://pinpics.com/cgi-bin/pin.cgi?pin=47190&sid=9062.1263059463

Unfortunately it appears to be a limited edition pin which is highly requested... I don't how good your chances are to find it trading in WDW...

 

[Diamondintheruff]

Jen must love the clothes that already come with scotchguard! I had a pair of pants like that once and when I went to iron them they melted. Opps. I had forgotten to read the tag that said iron inside out on low.

I vote for taking a big bag and a little bag for the parks. That way you can decide that day.

What's the sense of having the big honking camera if you don't use it? You know you'll miss the camera if you leave it at home.

I also think the four parks T-shirt (or hoodie as it seems the weather is unpredictable down there now) is a must for your 4 park day.

Enjoy!
