Dorky Disboutiquing DiserSistas:Destination DisneyTeresajoys(true)version:TheEnd 1/23

After Norway, we headed over to China to see find Mulan. (We were consulting our character meet and greet times sheet, to see when each character was suppose to be out. We were fixin to get to them all!) We didn't see Mulan right away when we got to her spot, so we went to the Kidcot Fun Spot station and let the girls get another stamp and dangly thing for their masks. The CM working here was really sweet with the girls. She wrote their names and ages in Chinese.

DSCF3285.JPG



After they were done with the masks, we saw Mushu walking by with a CM.
DSCF3286.JPG

I don't remember if he was coming or going, or what. But, I do know that I then took Arminda to change into her Mulan costume so she could meet Mulan in it. Then, we went over to where Mulan should be. But, she wasn't there. There was another family there, so we went over and they said Mulan was suppose to be back in about 15 minutes. So, we decided to wait.

Lydia ran around awhile

DSCF3287.JPG


There were some Chinese acrobats performing, so we decided to watch them as we waited.

Then, it happened.

This family stood in front of us.
DSCF3288.JPG




We could still see the performers, and they weren't trying to block our view.




No big deal.




Or so I though!




All of a sudden Brian says, "She's not wearing any underwear!"

I said "What are you talking about??"

He said, "That girl there! She isn't wearing any underwear!"

He then pointed to the girl in the short little green skirt.

It was a windy day.

A VERY windy day!

As he was pointing to her, the wind blew again! And, I saw just exactly what he was talking about!

Now, she MAY have had a thong on, I don't know, because all I saw was her entire behind!

I was shocked!

And, she made NOOO move to hold the skirt down!!!!

Then, the wind blew AGAIN!

And

WOOOOSH!!!

Ok, THAT was ENOUGH!!!

I looked over at a CM who was standing nearby. She looked very confused, and I could tell she wanted to do something but didn't know what!

So, since I could see that the CM was not moving, AND the wind was picking up again,
I marched over to this young lady, and I said to her, "EVERY time the wind blows, you keep MOONING my family! HOLD your skirt DOWN!!"

The picture I posted there is obviously AFTER my little conversation with her. She is both holding and pulling this skirt down. It was ridiculously short.


After I went back over to Brian, the CM walked by me and smiled. I felt bad for her, she was from China, and I don't think she spoke English well enough to confront the guest.

It wasn't long afterwords that the young lady and her family left. Thank goodness!

We waited quite awhile longer, and then the Photopass photographer came out, so we knew Mulan wouldn't be too much longer!

Then, she finally came out, along with Mushu!!!!
DSCF3289.JPG

DSCF3290.JPG



We really love Mulan and Mushu! Mulan is the sweetest princess!
DSCF3292.JPG



DSCF3296.JPG

DSCF3297.JPG


I love these two of Arminda and Lydia!
DSCF3293.JPG

image571.jpg

How much longer will Arminda want to hug the princesses?? Makes me all teary thinking about it! I hope she'll let herself believe for a long time, but I fear the time is soon coming when she won't!

(and jut to clarify so no one thinks Arminda is too crazy! She KNOWS the Princesses are people dressed up, but when you are AT Disney, don't we all like to just let ourselves believe they are real??? I believe!)



image565.jpg



After meeting Mulan, we were getting hungry, so we decided to eat our lunch. We found these nice little shaded tables, and spread out our food.
DSCF3298.JPG

We then just sat by the water and enjoyed being with each other.
S6300539.JPG


As you can see, it was still pretty windy!!!
DSCF3299.JPG



Lydia sat up on this wall and posed for some pictures.
DSCF3300.JPG



Then she layed down,
DSCF3301.JPG

DSCF3302.JPG




and I looked over the edge and decided she should get off! The drop was a bit further than I thought!

I consulted out character times again, and plotted a strategy for seeing all the characters. Plus, I wanted to see Davy Jones! So, we had to figure that into the schedule too! We weren't rushing, but you do need to plan out these character meets if you want to see them all.

It looked like Snow White would be the next character, so we started heading over there. On the way, the kids found this little playground, so we let them play awhile.


It was broke into two different age groups.

Corey took a picture.
DSCF3307.JPG

DSCF3308.JPG
 
Lydia was convinced that she could NOT play in the big kids section, so she spent most of her time in the very small little kid's area.
DSCF3309.JPG



But, she was having fun.
DSCF3306.JPG

S6300566.JPG

S6300569.JPG

S6300572.JPG



And, frankly, this thing wasn't very safe anyway!
DSCF3304.JPG



Right after this picture, Arminda jumped down and fell on her back. Ouch! She said she was ok, but she had a nasty bruise when I looked later. It really is much too high, and with no real way to get down from there!

Lydia was entertaining herself running through the tunnels in the little kids section. She was trying to outrun the camera, and doing a pretty good job of it!
DSCF3310.JPG


Then, she ventured into the big kid section. Thankfully, she did not try to jump!
DSCF3305.JPG

DSCF3321.JPG

DSCF3322.JPG



There was a guy her making ladybug crafts with the kids out of paper plates, so Arminda and Lydia joined in. There are so many things like this for the kids to do at Epcot, and they have so much fun doing it!
DSCF3321.JPG

DSCF3314.JPG

DSCF3315.JPG



Corey was tired though, so he thought he's lay down and take a nap.
DSCF3318.JPG


Then I told him that he looked a lot like the topiary, and he should put his head down there and we'd see if anyone could tell which one was him!!!
DSCF3320.JPG


Well, can you tell???



Obviously, we were having fun just goofing around!

When the girls were finished with their butterflies, the CM told them that they could take them home, or hang them in the bamboo forest. The girls decided to take them home, until they saw the forest.
DSCF3327.JPG




It was pretty neat!!!

Then, they both decided to hang them up and leave them.
They looked around awhile to find the perfect spot to put them.
DSCF3325.JPG


Then, they hung them up
DSCF3328.JPG

DSCF3330.JPG



Arminda wondered if hers would still be up the next year. But she figured it probably wouldn't be, because of the rain.
Corey thought this would be a good place for some pictures
DSCF3324.JPG
 
After leaving the bamboo forest, we spotted Snow White.


Actually, we spotted Snow White leaving for a break! But, we got in line to wait for her. While I was waiting, Brian took the kids over to look at the water.
DSCF3332.JPG

DSCF3333.JPG


While they were over there, a Photopass photographer took the girls pictures.
image577.jpg


Then, he took a picture of everyone else.
image590.jpg


The Photopass photographer then motioned for me to leave the stroller in line and come over. We were the last ones in the line, so I went ahead and went on over.
image598.jpg


Right after we got back in line, Snow White and Dopey came back out.

So, we got their autographs and pictures.
S6300575.JPG

image607.jpg


It was almost time for Beauty and the Beast to be done with their meet and greet, so we ran on over to France just in time to get in line to see them! We were the last family they let in the line.

I looked over and saw Belle in her blue dress and the Beast! I thought the Beast looked pretty cool, but sort of scary!

We chatted with the CM, who was turning away other guests from getting into the line, for awhile. Then, I asked him offhandedly,

"Do you ever see Marie around here?"

To which he replied,
"She is here right now! But, she is going to be done in just a few minutes."

We quickly told him how much Lydia wanted to see her, and I told Brian that I was going to take Lydia over there so she could at least SEE Marie! But, before I could take off, the CM told me to hold on a minute, and he called over to Marie's handler to ask if she would be there for a minute, because he had a family that really wanted too meet her!

He then told us to hurry on over, because she would be there for a few minutes. He gave us some directions, and then we ditched Beauty and her Beast like yesterday's smelly garbage!

We were so giddy, we were laughing the whole way!!!

Well, us girls were anyway! And, Brian and Corey also looked pretty happy!!!

Since we weren't exactly sure where she was, we split up briefly.

I went by the perfume store and briefly thought, "Is this where MissCammie got sprayed in the face?"


THEN!!! I spotted HER!!!!!

No, no, NOT MissCammie, but that would have been REALLY cool too!

I spotted Marie!!!
DSCF3351.JPG


And, oh she was so cute!!!! and pretty!!!!!!

"OVER HERE OVER HERE!!!" I yelled to the rest of the family!!!

They hightailed it on over!!!
I was shocked that there wasn't anyone else waiting to meet her!!! What is WRONG with these people!?!!?

Lydia was just bout beside herself with excitement!!


Here's a video of the whole thing. Unless you really know Lydia, it's hard to tell just how excited she was in the video, but believe me, how excited I sound, she was about 100 times more excited than that!


Brian told the CM how we had been standing in line for Beauty and the Beast when we found out that Marie was here, and how we had run on over!

Arminda told her that Lydia had been waiting a "Whole year! To meet Marie!"

Lydia didn't say much of anything, she just looked at Marie adoringly!
DSCF3334.JPG


Marie noticed Lydia's dress and admired it!
DSCF3335.JPG

DSCF3344.JPG

She called Aurora over to see it!
DSCF3336.JPG



Then the girls got Marie's autograph
DSCF3337.JPG

DSCF3338.JPG

DSCF3339.JPG

DSCF3340.JPG
 
Lydia was really happy!
DSCF3342.JPG

DSCF3343.JPG


Then we got some pictures with just Marie and Lydia
DSCF3346.JPG


Marie had Lydia put her hands like she had them.
DSCF3347.JPG



It was so cute!!!
DSCF3348.JPG


Princess Aurora was standing right nearby, and had no one with her, so I asked her Photopass CM if they could take pictures of Marie and the kids too. Unfortunately, he said he couldn't, because he was only with Marie. I was disappointed.



Then, we got some pictures with Arminda in them.
DSCF3349.JPG


About this time, it was announced that Marie and Aurora would be going in, and it was their last appearance of the day. So, we let another family get some pictures with Marie, and we went over to meet Aurora.

Aurora chatted with the girls for quite awhile, telling them how much she liked their dresses.
DSCF3352.JPG


Both girls told her that I had made them, and Aurora said that I had done a beautiful job.
DSCF3354.JPG

She told them that her fairy godmother's had made her dress for her.
DSCF3355.JPG

She then noticed that I was wearing my tiara, so she called me the queen. The girls both thought that was really funny!
DSCF3356.JPG

image613.jpg

image615.jpg




It was so wonderful! I kept saying, "It's just magical!!!"

Here is Lydia afterward when she was talking about how excited she was to meet Marie!
DSCF3359.JPG

DSCF3360.JPG


I think Lydia is smelling some perfume in this picture. I thought it was really cute.
DSCF3358.JPG



We decided to go meet the Aladdin characters next, and then catch the next Davy Jones concert!!!
But, as we were walking there, I saw a cart of little parasols that a man was painting names and pictures on.

So, Brian took me over to buy me one!

When I was a little girl, I had a pink parasol that I loved!!! I had told Brian about it when we were dating, and he remembered how much I had said I loved it, so he wanted to get me another one!

The girls also decided that they wanted one, so they decided to use Lydia's money and share one. They put both their names on it, and they were both very happy about the arrangement!

The parasols would take a little while to be done, so we were planning on coming back later to pick them up.

So, I took Arminda and changed her back into her Jasmine outfit and we were going to go meet the Aladdin characters.

We were meeting Brian and the other kids by the characters when we came out.
After Arminda was dressed, I headed for the spot where I thought they would be, in the back of a shop, with a carpet prop and things.
You know, where they are SUPPOSE to be, as designated by THIS sign!
S6300524.JPG




But, they were not there. So, I asked a CM and she told me that they were out by the water. So, Arminda and I went on over there, where we quickly found Brian and the kids.

We were disappointed to see that Jasmine was not with Aladdin and the Genie.

When it was our turn, Aladdin was SOOO sweet!!! He admired Arminda's Jasmine outfit (AND he KNEW it was a Jasmine outfit!). And he fixed Arminda's hair. And, then of course, Arminda was in love!
DSCF3361.JPG



Aladdin showed each of the kids how to stand. He told Arminda that she was going to have to be like Jasmine since she wasn't there. Arminda was loving the individual attention she was getting!
DSCF3363.JPG



After the kids got their pictures, Brian said to me, "Teresa, didn't you want your picture taken with Aladdin?"

Oh, what a sweet man!!!

So, I jumped on over there and got my picture taken!!!
DSCF3365.JPG

image627.jpg




Yep, a good day indeed..
 

Corey and I then ran over to get in line for Davy Jones. Brian was going with the girls to get our parasols.
Once we got in line, we took some more pictures
S6300577.JPG

S6300578.JPG



I had to use the restroom. So, I had Corey hold our place. When I got back, Brian was there with the girls. The people in line told me that they had seen me in line earlier, so they knew I wasn't cutting. (Aren't Davy Jones fans sweet!) I took my parasol and admired it for awhile! It was so pretty!!!
(This is Arminda and Lydia's, but pretend it's pink, ok?)
DSCF3377.JPG



We were soon seated, and then the show started!!!!
DSCF3367.JPG



Girl, Look what you've done to me, girl....
DSCF3368.JPG


You make the morning brighter girl...
DSCF3369.JPG


Is it any wonder Marsha Brady had such a crush on him???
(stop laughing Heather!)
DSCF3370.JPG


I was loving it, and singing along.
S6300580.JPG



Cheer up sleep Jean, oh what can it mean to a daydream believer and a Homecoming queeeeeen!
S6300581.JPG


Arminda was singing along too,
S6300582.JPG




and Lydia was doing this....
DSCF3371.JPG

DSCF3374.JPG




Yep, she fell asleep!!! She did the EXACT SAME THING last year during the Davy Jones concert! He just puts her right to sleep!

We were sitting right behind Davy Jones' cousin and sister, so he talked to them a few times throughout the performance. It was pretty neat.

Corey taped most of the concert for me.

BUT!!! He accidentally taped over most of it a few days later!!! He was so upset with himself!

Here's a little bit of what we had left:


After the concert, I layed Lydia down in the magical reclining stroller
DSCF3375.JPG


took some pictures of Arminda
DSCF3378.JPG



and we went over to England to see Pooh and Friends. I had hoped to meet Mary Poppins, but she wasn't there.

While we waited, Corey and I entertained ourselves by taking pictures in the chairs.
DSCF3379.JPG




Lydia was still sleeping. While we were waiting, the characters took a break. But, it wasn't too long before they came back. Lydia woke up while we were waiting, and she and Arminda worked on their masks some more.

And, then we took pictures of Lydia in the chairs!
DSCF3383.JPG

DSCF3388.JPG





I think this character meet area is pretty neat! Corey took some pictures of the Mary Poppins props.
DSCF3389.JPG

DSCF3390.JPG
 
We got some cute pictures with the characters.
Lydia gave Tigger a great big hug!
image638.jpg


and Arminda met with her good friend Pooh Bear
image639.jpg


Then we got some group shots.
Isn't Eeyore cute!
image641.jpg

image645.jpg


It was a fun meet and greet!!! This was the last one, and I was pretty pleased that we had only missed Beauty and the Beast, but that was for a good cause!


Then, we headed to Canada to watch the "Oh Canada" CircleVision presentation, starring Martin Short!
DSCF3400.JPG



We actually really enjoyed it!!! We like those circle theater things I guess! (I hated them when I was a kid though!)

Upon exiting, we ran right into another Funspot.



So, the girls got busy coloring their masks some more!
DSCF3393.JPG

DSCF3394.JPG



While the girls were coloring, a group of kids came down and started coloring too. One of the boys did something to Arminda, nothing too major, he either took her marker, or went to sit down in her chair when she stood up to get reach for something. (I'm thinking it was that last thing) Well, the CM working there went over to the boy, and told him not to act that way. I thought it was really nice that the CM stood up for Arminda!

Lydia thought she'd scare me with her mask
DSCF3397.JPG


I had barely recovered from the fright, when I saw THIS!
DSCF3399.JPG



After they colored the masks some more, it was getting late. We debated for awhile if we wanted to stay for Illuminaions or just go.
We decided we'd stay.
It's no Wishes, but it's nice!

Then, we headed on home
We'd had another wonderful day!!!

Up Next:
Another WILD day, and we have a nice supper with Mom
 
What a great day you all had!! I have more notes to type and things to comment on but I'll have to do it later as lucas has decided it's time for me to help him write- so I'll be back....
 
I'm so glad Lydia met Marie!
 
I love Epcot!!!! Our best Disney memories are the days we spend just walking and exploring and being together in Epcot. Chris and I dream of going to the food and wine festival just the two of us someday.

I'm so jealous that you got to meet marie. We would love to meet her and we have never even seen her in the parks. Lucky Duck!
 
Woo-hoo! An update! I have been a little worried about you and HeatherSue - you guys don't seem to be posting/updating as much as usual. I hope you both have just gotten busy and that nothing is wrong.

We really spent a lot more time at Epcot on our most recent trip especially the WS. We really enjoyed it as well. My dd loved the kidcot stops! She did the mask and we bought a passport which she loved getting signed and stamped. We met a ton of characters too which I knew to look for this time. When we went to find Marie, there was no line either! We got great photos of her with DD. I love Lydia's Marie dress - too cute! You definitely need to be patient as the characters seem to come and go. We were also lucky enough to meet Jasmine, Aladdin and Genie all together - they spent a ton of time talking to and interacting with my DD.

Great update! Love all of the photos especially the one with the hat on the ball. You all are too funny!
 
Great update! But I'm sorry, I just don't share the same enthusiasm for Davy Jones. What was up with that Batman shirt??? :confused3
 
LOVE the Marie dress!!! Nice character interaction too. And better CMs this day! Really fun day at Epcot, and relaxed, like I always say we're going to be, but then we aren't.

Nice update! :thumbsup2
 
Woohoo! Great update! I'm feeling a little bone-headish cause I was reading and saw Davy Jones and totally thought you meant Davy from Pirates. Ha. Lydia's dress is be-a-utiful! I love the silver threading in it. And you can certainly make lemons outta lemonade! You only have a lil fabric and manage to make something so cute. How great that she got to meet Marie! How do they keep her so white?!?! Even her feet are clean! Aurora's Lily's favorite princess. She calls her Briar Rose and I don't correct her cause frankly I like it better than Aurora. I like Lydia's sneaky hand in the PP pics. Lily was walking by and saw Arminda's dress and said "Look mom, that's Jasmine" I think it's more tasteful than Jasmine's dress anyway. I'm not one to dress my kid in belly baring outfits, but to each their own. I really love the Mulan dress! A kimono seems so elegant to me. Ewwww. Who doesn't wear underwear with a skirt?!?! She HAD to feel the breeze! Corey takes good pics! Ha! I LOL'd at the pic of you and Aladdin. We're engaged. Too funny. Is Martin Short canadian? I had no idea. Everytime I read TR'S Lily asks if we can go on the plane yet. I had to explain that Disney's not a day trip and we have to fly to get there. Now all she wants to do is go to the airport though....Ah well. I can't say I blame her. Sunday we had a nice full day at the Detroit zoo so that's all I've been hearing for the last 2 days. She's been thanking us for taking her. She's a thoughtful kid. I'm waiting on pins and needles for the next update!
 
Please tell me that I'm not the only person who thought " I didn't know that Davy Jones did meet & greets...and certainly not at Epcot" thinking you meant Davy Jones from POTC :lmao:
 
Please tell me that I'm not the only person who thought " I didn't know that Davy Jones did meet & greets...and certainly not at Epcot" thinking you meant Davy Jones from POTC :lmao:

Nope!! I thought the exact same thing!!:rotfl:

I had no idea Marie did a meet & greet!! My daughter is sitting here with her exact same baby Marie and absolutely freaked out when she saw her!!!:lovestruc We will definetly have to look for her on our next trip!!
 
It was so cool reading about what you did this day, since I had no idea. Your update was so much better than mine was!

Thank you for not writing "wala" instead of "voila"!

How sweet of that CM to give the girls pins w/ their names in Japanese!

Oh my gosh, I love the picture of Brian pushing the Epcot ball!

I bet you were beaming when that woman complimented Lydia's dress. You should have been- it's absolutely gorgeous!

We rode the Mexican ride for the first time in my memory and I liked it too! The Mexican pavillion is pretty cool!

I don't know why they would say that doesn't look like a Jasmine outfit. It most certainly does!!

:rotfl: about screaming on the Maelstrom!

You do look lovely next to that troll.

Oh NO! I just "got" the title of this installment!!! The moon you are referring to is the one provided by the girl in the green skirt. I'm a little slow, but I get there eventually. :rotfl: :lmao:
You forgot to mention what you told me. That girl didn't seem the least bit embarassed about mooning all of you and you saw her later in the day letting her skirt flip all over the place again.

I love that Mulan gave the girls real hugs!! She is the sweetest princess!

Yikes!! That "rock" Arminda fell off of was really high! Poor girl! I thought that was a really stupid thing to have in a playground.

Treating Belle and the Beast like "yesterday's smelly garbage"? How could you!

I'm glad the perfume ninja didn't get you!

Darn! The video won't load for me!

That is just too sweet that Brian bought you a parasol because you had one when you were a little girl. :love:

Arminda looksl ike a little model in her "Jasmine pose"

I'm so glad you included the Aladdin picture I decorated for you!

:rotfl: How did you know I was laughing?! :lmao:

The Davy Jones video won't open either! I'll have to try it again later.

Woo-hoo! An update! I have been a little worried about you and HeatherSue - you guys don't seem to be posting/updating as much as usual. I hope you both have just gotten busy and that nothing is wrong
!
You're very sweet! Nope, nothing's wrong. We just haven't had as much time lately!

Great update! But I'm sorry, I just don't share the same enthusiasm for Davy Jones. What was up with that Batman shirt??? :confused3
I wondered the same thing!

And you can certainly make lemons outta lemonade!
:rotfl2: Finally, someone has seen through Little Miss Merry Sunshine's facade!:rotfl:
 
That seemed like a really great day in Epcot!! Awesome update!

I can't believe how talented you are, that dress was unbelievable!! And I totally knew that Arminda's outfit was Princess Jasmine. Arminda looked beautiful in that!:cutie:
 
I love the whole Marie interaction! How magical!

I am a humongo Monkee's fan, so I totally share your excitement for wanting to see Davey Jones!! I have actually seen the whole group (Monkee's) perform together 5 times. Pretty sad huh... Anyway, Great update!
 
What a great day you all had!! I have more notes to type and things to comment on but I'll have to do it later as lucas has decided it's time for me to help him write- so I'll be back....
Hey Anna, you are certainly on the ball!!! I barely posted this before you commented!!!
LOVE the Marie dress!!! Nice character interaction too. And better CMs this day! Really fun day at Epcot, and relaxed, like I always say we're going to be, but then we aren't.

Nice update! :thumbsup2
yes, the CMs were really good! The way they SHOULD be!

Great update! But I'm sorry, I just don't share the same enthusiasm for Davy Jones. What was up with that Batman shirt??? :confused3
He's COOL! That's why he's wearing it! :snooty:
It's better than last years costume, it looked just like what my Dad use to wear to work at Fisher Body! Dark blue shirt and dark blue pants.
He could stand to lose about 40 pounds though.
Woo-hoo! An update! I have been a little worried about you and HeatherSue - you guys don't seem to be posting/updating as much as usual. I hope you both have just gotten busy and that nothing is wrong.

Like Heather said, we are ok, just busy! Heather had her update posted long ago though! She's been waiting for me to catch up!

Isn't WS great!!!! Before last year I had no idea all those characters were there! I think they are some of the friendliest characters in any of the parks.

Thank you about Lydia's dress!

That picture of the ball with the Mickey hat crackyed me up too!
I love Epcot!!!! Our best Disney memories are the days we spend just walking and exploring and being together in Epcot. Chris and I dream of going to the food and wine festival just the two of us someday.

I'm so jealous that you got to meet marie. We would love to meet her and we have never even seen her in the parks. Lucky Duck!
It is a great family day, isn't it!

Until I saw an episode of Sponge Bob I didn't realize that Davy Jones was anyone besides the guy from the Monkees! So, I'm not sure if you are boneheaded or me! :rotfl2:

I love that fabric!!!!! When Lori posted her outfit, I didn't notice the silver threads, so it was such a nice surprise when I got it!!! Corey took that picture for me, because I wanted everyone to see how pretty it was! I could never get the silver thread to show up!

Heather decorated that picture of Aladdin and I! I about died laughing when I opened the Photopass and saw that!!!!

My Mom keeps saying we need to go to the Detroit zoo sometime soon. She has a Grandparent's pass to our local zoo, and I think the Detroit zoo was one that offered discounts to members of other zoos.

Yep, Martin Short is Canadian!

Please tell me that I'm not the only person who thought " I didn't know that Davy Jones did meet & greets...and certainly not at Epcot" thinking you meant Davy Jones from POTC :lmao:

Oh you people!!! Where is Cindee when I need her!

Nope!! I thought the exact same thing!!:rotfl:

I had no idea Marie did a meet & greet!! My daughter is sitting here with her exact same baby Marie and absolutely freaked out when she saw her!!!:lovestruc We will definetly have to look for her on our next trip!!
I just found out that Marie did meet and greets after out last trip. I of course, learned it here on the Dis! They told us that she had only done one set that day, so we were pretty lucky to have met her.

It was so cool reading about what you did this day, since I had no idea. Your update was so much better than mine was!

Thank you for not writing "wala" instead of "voila"!


I bet you were beaming when that woman complimented Lydia's dress. You should have been- it's absolutely gorgeous!


You do look lovely next to that troll.

Oh NO! I just "got" the title of this installment!!! The moon you are referring to is the one provided by the girl in the green skirt. I'm a little slow, but I get there eventually. :rotfl: :lmao:
You forgot to mention what you told me. That girl didn't seem the least bit embarassed about mooning all of you and you saw her later in the day letting her skirt flip all over the place again.



Treating Belle and the Beast like "yesterday's smelly garbage"? How could you!



Darn! The video won't load for me!

That is just too sweet that Brian bought you a parasol because you had one when you were a little girl. :love:


:rotfl2: Finally, someone has seen through Little Miss Merry Sunshine's facade!:rotfl:

I WONDERED why you just gave me a funny look when I told you the name of this installment!!!! I actually thought of that while I was standing there in shock!!! Yep, as I was standing there fuming, I was also thinking, "Boy this will make an interesting installment for my TR, and I will call it 'Moon Over Epcot'" Ask Corey, I told him while we were there! (of course knowing Corey, he'll deny the whole thing!)

You are RIGHT! I forgot to mention that her skirt was flitting in the wind later on in the day!! AND she wasn't embarassed in the least!

I THINK she just got that BACKWARDS!!!! Little Miss Merry Sunshine I shall ALWAYS be!!!
at least to people who dont' know me!

WHO would write WALA??

Gee, you and Corey are so sweet to me about that troll!!!!!

Yes, apparently Brian and Corey were having lots of fun while I was trying to get the Scoop on Marie!!!


(Get it, do you get it???? SCOOP!!!???!!! :rotfl2: Cause Marie is a CAT!!! :rotfl2: )


I thought Brian was pretty sweet buying that parosol for me too! I should find the picture of my old one. I think Corey took a picture of a slide where I was holding it.

I wrote the smelly garbage line just because I knew you'd get a kick out of it!
That seemed like a really great day in Epcot!! Awesome update!

I can't believe how talented you are, that dress was unbelievable!! And I totally knew that Arminda's outfit was Princess Jasmine. Arminda looked beautiful in that!:cutie:
yes, we really did have a great day!!!

Aww thank you!
I love the whole Marie interaction! How magical!

I am a humongo Monkee's fan, so I totally share your excitement for wanting to see Davey Jones!! I have actually seen the whole group (Monkee's) perform together 5 times. Pretty sad huh... Anyway, Great update!

Yes, it was magical!!! Really!!!!

And, I always knew I liked you!!!! Yeah another Monkee's fan!!!
 
Ok I'm back and No I did not just get done helping lucas with his writing!! When we were done we were tired so we took a nap then I had to go to work, when I got home I had watch me some olympics, then put the kids to bed! But now you have my undivided attention as everyone else is sleeping!!
You know that lydias dress is so fabulous that I hardly even need to mention it but I will anyway 'cuz (did it bleep me?) I know how much you enjoy the much deserved compiments.
Lydias marie dress is SOOOO French and lovely I can hardly stand it!
Maybe she was starting to fall backward and was using your face to maintain her balance so as not to fall and dirty her beautiful dress? Maybe?
I like hearing about the wonderful CMs that put the rest of the CMs to shame I hope you got his name and found a comment card!! Give that boy a raise!!
I love those days that you just have things fall into place and can just relax and enjoy!! :cloud9:
And you look so cute in your tiara- I love that they called you Queen!
We love playing around with the sombreros too! So fun!!
I checked my pictures from 2001 and we posed by the same troll but there is a different one in the background he has a longer nose and whiteish hair I can scan the picture and post it if your interested...
The Mulan you saw was the same one from our norway princess meal and she was soo sweet we loved her!!
But beware of mushu when we went in 2001 (prekids) my sister, her friend and I were posing with mushu and he had his hands a little to close to the bum area then is prudent for a disney character, and I don't think I like the way he's looking at you in your picture either :lmao:
I don't even know what to say about the mooning except "how rude!!" and YUCK!!
We did not explore the countries on our most recent trip and I was unaware of all the neat things they have for kids. Thanks for educating me!
I'm so glad Lydia got to meet marie!!! I bet that made the whole trip for her!! Although I feel a little sad that you ditched Belle but I'm sure she understands. Seeing as how lydia was wearing marie.
I bet Aurora was hot in the dress- Didn't you mention how blazing hot it had been?
:rotfl2: I actually laughed out loud at the picture of you and your fiancee' How cute are you two!! Brian wasn't jealous was he? After all didn't he get to go see pochontas at AK.
How sweet that Brian got you the parasol!! They look so pretty!
I love the monkees- We used to watch their show on Nickeloden at my grandmas (we didn't have cable) And Davy was the cutest one!!
I am a little confused at his wardrobe choice didnt he know he was at a disney theme park :confused3
How cool you got to talk to his family!!
Eeyore is such a poser!!
I love that family Picture- You all look so sweet!!
Those masks were pretty scary! :scared:
World showcase is definitely no Wishes!! I miss the parade that they used to have before the fireworks that was really neat!!
Well looks like a pretty Great Day!!
So did people really drink the beverly?? If they did, did you tape it? :rolleyes1
