For All Who Come to this Happy Place: My 1st Trip to DL for the POTC World Premiere!

[Fairy_Tale_Bride]

Very cool! You had a wonderful place to meet & greet the celebs. How many autographs did you get? Can't wait for more!

I got a lot of autographs. I got them to all sign my Pirates of the Caribbean autograph book. I did scan a few of them, but they are on my other computer. I'll see if I can go back and post some, once I get back home to Florida.

My daughter and I are having breakfast and reading your update. She is dying to know if you met any Disney Channel stars. She's a little young to be interested in Johnny. Post more soon!

I did meet some Disney Channel stars that I'm sure she likes because I'm a fan myself! They are coming up soon!

 

[Fairy_Tale_Bride]

I just read an article about the movie and whoever manufactured Transformers (Mattel, I think???) also manufactured Furbies, so Michael bay wanted them in the movie. Too funny.

Too funny! They are actually made by Hasbro. I didn't realize Furby was made by them as well. I was a big Transformers fan as a kid!

I just have to tell you...I LOVE THIS TR!!!!! You are doing a brilliant job.

I have been sitting here for about...2 hours reading. It is great. I am a HUGE JDepp fan and I am about to die from the suspense. I can't wait to see/hear/read if you met him, got pictures, autographs... I am living vicariously through you.

A side note: My Dsis got to go to the premiere of POTC2 DMC while she was in Paris. I begged her to go for me and she finally agreed. She had a ball. She said it was crazy, loud, people were pushing and shoving but she loved it and got an autograph from OBloom & Johnny as well as some pics. You can see them on my TR.

Now, in regard to the first part of this trippie: I was seriously spooked by the hotel. The attic door, overflowing toilet, unlocked window...You certainly painted a picture for us. I will make sure to put that on my "never stay there list"! It reminded me of a movie I saw back in the 80's called Hotel Hell. Sounds like an appropriate name for this place!

Thanks for posting all the pictures and for sharing all the details of DL. We really want to go there within the next couple of years. I am glad that the two places, although similar are very different. You make me all excited about the idea. How are the CMs there? Is there a dining plan?

I really enjoyed the video of the parade. It looks great!

Your DH sounds like mine. He is always willing to go along with whatever I come up with. We are very lucky girls .

Thank you so much for sharing... Looking forward to more!
The next installment should be exciting.


BTW, I like your hair color. I do not think it looks too dark.

Hi Darlene!

I am actually a big fan of your Trip Report and remember seeing the pictures of Johnny and Orlando that your sister took! I remember the crowd around her in the pictures too! Chaos! Your children are adorable! I love looking at all your pictures!

I'm so glad you found my Trippie! Hotel Hell is right! What a perfect name for that place!

I found the CM's in Disneyland to be great! I had an overall wonderful experience with everyone I met and spoke to there. I'm not sure about a Dining Plan. I doubt they have one because there are not as many places as WDW, but all the food is fantastic!

Thanks for the compliments on my hair! I did actually go get some highlights in it this past Friday, so I am a little happier with it. About two more visits for highlights and it may be back to the color I want.

LINDSEY! How on EARTH did I miss this TR?!

The suspense is killing me!! I love seeing all the celeb photos, I can't believe how close you are!! AAAAAAAAWESOME TR

I don't know, but I'm glad you are here now! I'm glad you are enjoying my Trippie and photos!

We want Johnny
We want Johnny
We want Johnny
We want Johnny

You sound just like all of us at the premiere!

Lindsey !!! OMG !!! I just got caught back up and now you're killing me !!

I can't believe all you went through to get there !! I know it was totally worth it though.
I showed my oldest DD14, Caylin your TR and she is going crazy. She said to tell you that you are SUPER COOL and she hopes she can do the same thing one day minus the hotel. Then she came back and said she'd sleep anywhere for Johnny

Looking forward to the next installment.

Awwww...tell Caylin thank you! That's so sweet! I'm glad to hear she has that devotion for Johnny too! More Trippie coming soon!

Chad Michael Murray from the show, "One Tree Hill" & "House of Wax" was the next to arrive. Everyone went crazy for him and he came over to sign an autograph for me first. Oh, yeah!

Now, for one of the Disney Channel Stars! Brenda Song from "The Suite Life with Zack & Cody" and many other Disney Channel movies!

The wonderful Martin Landau was also there! He's great friends with Johnny and he is from a couple of my all time favorite movies, "The X-Files: Fight the Future" & "Sleepy Hollow!"

Sara Paxton is another teen star from "Sleepover" & "Aquamarine" and she is also a talented singer.

Then, Mark Curry from "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper" came over to sign some autographs. I just loved that show growing up! He was such a cool guy!

Kobe Bryant was also there and I will make no comment.

Great videos Lindsey! My DD 10 is really mad at me because I had to send her to bed. She asked if she could stay up just a little longer because she noticed that you were still online. I'll maybe wake her up if you post any more trip report tonight.

We finally saw someone from "Pirates of the Caribbean!" David Bailie aka Cotton in all three of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films. He's the pirate with the parrot and no tongue, how can you forget him!?

Michael Rosenbaum aka Lex Luther in "Smallville!"

Another popular Disney Channel star, Kyle Massey, from "That's So Raven" & "Cory in the House!"

Ricardo Antonio Chavira from "Desperate Housewives!"

I then got really excited because Cheryl Burke from "Dancing with the Stars" was there with her boyfriend, Matthew Lawrence! I am a big fan of "Dancing with the Stars" and just love her!

I have also been a fan of Matthew Lawrence, since his days on "Gimme a Break!" I was also a huge "Boy Meets World" fan! Well, I still am! I was so excited to meet him!

Thanks! Yup, I am still online and still typing away! I've got some packing to do though because I'm flying back to Florida tomorrow, so I have to take a break. Hopefully, I will get to write more Trippie in a little bit!

Great update Lindsey as usual!

Your so lucky to get to meet all those stars. I just can't believe you were always their first stop, how lucky could you be?! Good thing I'll see you in October maybe your good luck will rub off on me

I love all your pictures, specially the ones of Matthew Lawrence and Cheryl Burke. I just love boy meets world and dancing with the stars. Plus Cheryl Burke has the same exact name as me...first and last! Well my last is spelt a little different but its still pronounced the same. How cool is that?!

Can't wait for more (your really great at building the suspence) !!! Hope you have a safe flight back to FL and enjoyed the time with your family!

It looks like you're having sooo much fun and that it was totally worth it!

I hope that they make another POTC, so I can convince DBF I NEED to go out there to see the premiere and DLP at the same time! Maybe you can save me a bit of the pavement if you go again

 

[gatrbait]

Thank you so much Lindsey for the info about DL...I have really jumped into planning this trip and am really excited...I'm going to plan for 5 days I think and I seriously doubt I can get too much Disney that way we can take advantage of the hotel too. I am loving this trippy in so many ways thanks for all the pics as usual your details are the best and videos are top notch!! Thanks for sharing everything and WDW really needs to re-evaluate your position and put you in PR and advertising!!
Have a save trip home...your coming home to a sauna!!

I did realize that about your name! You should use that to your advantage! I'm trapped here in NC at the moment!

You are so welcome and I am glad you are enjoying my Trippie! Yeah, it's very humid and muggy here in NC right now too! From hot to hotter!!!

Hi DIS'ers!

I hope everyone is having a good day! I am trapped here at the aiport at the moment. My flight has been delayed a hour! I've already been waiting around for almost two hours and then I made my way up here to board to find out that I have another hour! I'm really tired and just ready to get home. I have to be at work bright and early in the morning, so now I have a lot less time at home to unpack and rest.

Luckily, I am able to get some Internest connection, so I can put my down time to good use, since I was afraid I may not be able to update when I got home.

And...Yes...Mr. Depp is on the way!!!

Good things come to those who wait...be patient...
