Dorothy and Blanche:A tale of left over shoes and lost items! DONE 7/14 just in time!

I think I was just screeching on this one. That's what the family of men was doing all around me, so I went along with them! LOL

I snapped the sign for AoA on my way by.


from raw-9391 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I brought my Kobo and my camera down, filled my refillable mug with rootbeer and waited for Blanche. And waited. And waited. And waited. I think I refilled my mug about 4 times, ran inside to not get hit with rain showers at least twice and had at least 3 potty breaks. It seemed like forever! But at the same time, it was kind of special. Sitting in the sun (or inside on a bench during the rain showers) reading Harry Potter, drinking rootbeer and listening to some great music. Watching people arrive for their trip, seeing others leave… I think I saw about 4 DME buses.


from raw-9396 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

This one looks like it might be near a rainy period.


from raw-9397 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Here, I was inside, so either it was raining, or I went back in for more rootbeer and a potty break.


from raw-9398 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I have this in my classroom.... well, it's rolled up and in a closet, and a lot more faded and used, but I have one!


from raw-9399 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Blanche finally arrived sometime after 3:15. I guess she had a few issues with DME because she had the papers for AoA and she was going to Pop. They did let her on though. I took her up to see the room and drop off her carry on items and we decided to get some food! And I put my sandals on!

She wanted some chicken nuggets, so we split a meal of chicken nuggets and fries, and she bought her own refillable mug. That was at about 3:45, so she had to have been there for a little bit by then. At least 15 minutes or so. (Don't worry, I'm sure I took pictures of the chicken nuggets at another time in the trip... it is something we eat often!)

I snapped some more pictures of the room while she got settled.

from raw-9405 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


I guess I should clarify, I took pictures of the beds in the room!


from raw-9406 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

And the evacuation route... that is something very important to know!


from raw-9407 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I like this, I think it's important that we all make a little conscious effort to help. I'm not an environmentalist, but I think there are certain things we should do and I think we're killing the earth. Now back to Disney!


from raw-9408 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Then on the way to the bus stop, I snapped some more pictures around the public washroom area at Pop.

I really need to remember to bring my invisibility cloak sometime!


from raw-9413 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Really, I do know better than to take a picture while standing directly in front of the glass.... I am just forgetful, or in a hurry.


from raw-9414 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Then we were on our way to the Magic Kingdom!

 

[KCmike]

Loving your reference to the cloak. Will Blanche allow photos of her on this report?

 

[jenseib]

So glad Blanche made it.

I wanted to let you know that in the first post of this update you have a couple of double pictures. I have been having issues lately with flickr not copying right, so I thought I would let you know.

 

[KelleyK75]

Thanks! The problem is that now I REALLY want to go back! I think looking at my pictures and writing the TR makes it harder!



Thanks! Between the phone charger and the camera charger, I'd pick to lose the phone charger EVERY time! I survived. I don't think I'd have been able to survive the rest of the trip without my camera!

Haha, I know, me too!!

 

[KelleyK75]

So glad your friend made it! Love the pictures! And the ride pictures are hilarious!!

 

[teekathepony]

Hey! Just found your new report so I'm sub'ed and going back to catch up!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Blanche will not this time.

So glad Blanche made it.

Me too!

Thanks, I'll have go back and check that!

Haha, I know, me too!!

At least we have our priorities! Camera over communication while at WDW!

So glad your friend made it! Love the pictures! And the ride pictures are hilarious!!

Me too! And thanks!

Hey! Just found your new report so I'm sub'ed and going back to catch up!

Welcome! Will you be going to the GTKTW fundraiser in Halifax in July? It's a fundraiser/dismeet!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

I have a picture of Blanche waiting for the bus, but she has asked me not to post her pictures, so I will have to respect that. (well, as much as I can! hahaha)

You may be, well, exposed to some strange pictures of me now that she is here, because she occasionally forces me to have some pictures taken. I tend to make a funny face.

Here is a normal one where I'm just really happy to be heading to MK!


from raw-9430 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-9435 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

We saw these signs a few times. I think this time they were upgrading the turnstiles for the MBs. Speaking of MBs, we were still using our paper tickets.


from raw-9436 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I love Disney windows. I think next time I'll be looking at them even more closely.

from raw-9438 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-9439 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Move, it Shake it Celebrate it was happening, so we pulled up a curb and watched it. Just the parade part. We didn’t watch the extra stuff around the hub. They dance, don’t they? A little more? I really don’t know because I’ve never stopped to watch it.

Of course, I saw the Castle, so I had to take some pictures of it.

Blanche’s first ride was Pirates. I snapped a few pics, but not too, too many for me.

from raw-9560 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Blanche and I both love the classics, so she was happy that was her first ride of the trip.

 

[DisneyFreak06]

We got FPs for Splash and then got in line for BTMRR. I guess that will be my last FP picture.


from raw-9568 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-9569 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Even though the wait time was listed at 30 minutes, it was only about a 15 minute wait, so that was nice.


from raw-9570 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-9572 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-9582 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

We decided we wanted a snack. Blanche loves pineapple so she wanted to try a Dole Whip. I said I’d get my second Citrus Swirl of the trip.


from raw-9588 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I had asked Blanche to let me get a picture of her Dole Whip before she dug in, but it was half gone by the time she got it to me by the Magic Carpets of Aladdin. (I’ve never ridden that one, maybe I should sometime…) I got her to try my treat, and she liked it better actually and vowed to get her own sometime.

Blanche, do you mind that I am sharing pictures like this? You might need to get on here and check to let me know!


from raw-9590 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Put this in your basements to scare the rats away! Hahahaha


from raw-9591 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Sorry to scare you, but I like to have fun. I debated sharing that picture, but I figure you may as well see the real me, I can get kind of silly! Especially at Disney. I don’t often get my picture taken because I’m the one taking them… so here I am making faces at WDW. Drinking ice water. Our favorite thing now is to get ice water with our snacks!

[DisneyFreak06]

We're now on the ride.


from raw-9647 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I'd love to get a good shot of this sometime! It's so hard to get the camera to focus in there.

This is another area that I find hard to get a good shot.


from raw-9697 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Blanche was tired, still a little off after having been sick, and it was her travel day, so we decided to head out after HM. I think I gave our FPs to a CM so they could share them with someone else.

We took the bus to AoA and Blanche got to at least see a little of the resort that she missed. Well, the main reason was probably that the bus was there.


from raw-9704 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

This little one looks so comfortable like that! Hahahahaha Blanche and I were thinking it would be nice to have someone carry us around.

from raw-9707 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-9708 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Back at Pop:

from raw-9710 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

We realized that her extra charger worked for my phone! (My Kobo charger didn't work, even though it had in the past.)

After getting back to Pop, we grabbed our mugs and headed out for a snack. I grabbed an overpriced bag of chips. I like Disney chips, but they are incredibly pricey! Then we vegged a little and slept well!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Purchases of the day:

Pizzafari
Cheesecake in a cup $3.99
ice water in a cup
Total: 4.25

Everything Pop
Chicken nuggets and fries (shared with BLANCHE!) $8.69
Blanche's refillable mug $15.49
Total: $25.76

Sunshine Tree Terrace
Citrus Swirl $3.19
Total $3.40

Everything Pop
Potato Chips $2.69
Total $2.87

(Wow! I don't like to pay that for a big bag at home... crazy!)

 

[teekathepony]

Welcome! Will you be going to the GTKTW fundraiser in Halifax in July? It's a fundraiser/dismeet!

I would really like to, I was sorry I missed the last one. When is it and is there a thread started for it somewhere? Or group? I'm going to Germany for 10 days in July so with my luck I'll miss it!

You guys had a great day at MK and got a lot done! Love the Haunted Mansion pics, I'd love to be there right now.
Poor Blanche, I can definitely understand her feeling tired after being so sick! Glad you got some things done and had a rest.

The actual meet is Aug 10, so you would be home! If you search Nova Scotia Dis Meet Round 3 on facebook it should come up, if not, let me know and I'll see about finding a way to add you.

Where are you going in Germany? I've been to Germany twice, both for World Youth Day (one pre trip because I was one of the leaders taking young people and one actual event. We stayed near Fulda and Cologne.

We do enjoy a fun way of touring, kind of go with the flow but have certain must dos. I totally wish that I was riding HM now too! At least the snow is melting.

Aug 21, 2013

Blanche got Rice Crispies and a banana for breakfast and I got my Mickey waffles with bacon and fruit . Guess it was the kids meal because adults get the Pop waffle. I love Mickey waffles or Pop waffles, or character waffles. … Disney waffles. They are all so special. Like I said before though, Mickey waffles are my favorites!


20130821_075245 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

My camera fogged up in the humidity, but just a little. We don’t keep our room too cold, so it helps with my camera. Hmmm... It will be interesting to see how my sister and brother in law like the room. We don't have AC here at many houses (not ours anyways) but we do in our cars!


from raw-9711 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

We went to DHS. Since we didn’t get there before opening (I don’t know what was up with that this trip?) or at least after they started letting people in, we stopped for some Monsters University pics.

Either we had a FP+ for Toy Story or I did the FP quick walk and got us FPs, (if we didn't have our MBs hooked up yet) because we did Rock n Roller Coaster single rider first.

I have only ever played Candyland once, and it was about 3-4 months ago! Hahahaha. Maybe I should buy a game for my class. I had to intervene the other day when some students were playing chutes and ladders (I miss the snakes!) because some of them were hopping on the ladder part way up and climbing up the slides! I love teaching kindergarten!

We had discovered Starring Rolls the last trip or so (Why oh why did it take me so long?) and we were ready for snacks and water. So off we went.

We knew what we wanted, but I still had fun browsing the food!

These strawberry cupcakes look so good! But is that coconut or just icing? I can't eat coconut. It's not an allergy or anything, I just don't like it!

from raw-9774 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

We went with a Napoleon again. Even this one was not as good. I had heard about the changes to the one in France and was sad, but I was willing to try it. I’d been looking forward to this one because it supposedly hadn't changed. I don’t know if it was just us, but we didn't like it as much, and we’d had it before and loved it.
