OH MY GOSH!! I just realized what that said!! Good grief--i hope Willow wasnt meeting vodka at disney!Why do I even try to DIS on my phone? I seriously changed it to Vidia more then once and it still changed it back. Oh, autocorrect, how you torment me!
but I have to admit I woke up my sleeping DH I laughed so loud at it!
Oh, isn't it hard to stay caught up with everyone???I have some catching up to do! I love Willow's outfits, and the Lilo one is just too cute! Absolutely perfect for Ohana!
It was honestly the weirdest character experience we have ever had! Just bizarre!That is so bizarre about the Pluto meet and greet. You can definitely tell from the pics that he wasn't into it. I would feel super uncomfortable too, boo. I'm glad Willow didn't really notice though.
We won't normally ever wait that long, but we REALLY wanted to do this one because of Willow's Periwinkle costume, so you can imagine our disappointment when Tink thought she was Silvermist.Love Willow's costume changes! The wait for the fairies always looks so long. Good for you for getting through it! That's pretty smart that they have those TV's.
Oh, we had such a great time. And I don't think it was JUST because we were in the A/C and away from the crowds.I haven't been to the Crystal Palace in a long time, but I loved it when I was there. Hoping to get back at some point!
Hi Ali! Thanks so much for joining in! It's never too late. And I totally understand how hard it is to catch everyone's TR. I know I have failed completely many times. I'm glad you're here!Roni after all this time I finally realized this TR exists. I fail. I'm sorry lol
Oh, thank you! That 5th birthday trip to DLR was beyond amazing!Willow is beautiful! Love those Mary Poppins pics!!
Good luck!I'm gonna go back to catch up!
Thank you! I am definitely feeling a lot better about that costume now.Awe I love your periwinkle costume! I am not familiar with the fairies at all, so I have never seen the movie Periwinkle comes from, but from the picture I think it looks great! I think that "friend" of Tink's needs some more training!
I actually think that CP is one of the better food options in MK. We had breakfast there on our trip before this one, and it was very good as well. I absolutely loved lunch there.Your lunch at CP looks like lots of fun! I have never considered going there but DD has just started liking Winnie the Pooh, so I think we may have to hit it up next time. I just love how much Willow loves meeting the characters. You can really tell she is having a great time.
Hi Ali! You are amazing for even trying to start from the beginning. I totally wouldn't blame you if you just joined in from where the TR is now.OK so I'm not totally caught up yet (I just finished update 39!) but I wanted to pop in before I forget!
You know, I actually did end up contacting PP via the webiste about it when I finally realized they were missing (after ordering and receiving the CD). They were able to find the Alice pictures but not the Goofy ones (which were the ones I was really hoping to get). They did let me add borders and stuff and sent me a new CD. Unfortunately, I recently discovered some other pics that were missed as well, but it is far too late to do anything about it. Frustrating that there were so many that didn't make it to the CD!I haven't read the comments in between posts and I'm sure someone has mentioned this... but I have had a lot of luck in the past with calling Disney when pictures don't show up in my PP account. The thing is that you have to know what time you were there (giving them an hour window is not sufficient... you have to be pretty specific), what you were wearing, and it helps to know what the people in front of, or behind you, in line were wearing too. For example...we did a meet & greet with Mickey at one of the Halloween parties and THOSE pictures WERE in our account. On the way out, we found a surprise meet & greet (that I haven't gotten to in my TR yet so I'm not giving it away), but THOSE pics were missing! And I didn't notice until AFTER I ordered our PP CDSo I called the number on the Photopass website and managed to get a CM who really wanted to help me, which was nice! Because the new PP site tracks the date and time of your pics, and sorts them out by park and/or event, I was able to tell him almost the exact time our meet & greet took place, what we were wearing, where the meet & greet was located, and the fact that the people behind us in line were dressed as the 101 Dalmatians (but thankfully there were only 5 of them!). The CM was able to locate our pics pretty effortlessly and he loaded them to my account. Normally, I would have had to pay to order them but I found a free workaround...I just wasn't able to add any of the borders or autographs, which was fine. I'd rather have the plain picture than no picture at all! I think they only hang onto your pictures for 30 days from the date they are taken though so you have to call within that window. I know it doesn't help you now, but it might in the future!
Oh, yeah, Willow was definitely not the only one of us who suffered from heat crankiness. That DHS day in particular we were both pretty unglued.Willow has me cracking up with all the selfies! I can't blame her for being cranky in that heat! We're adults and we've had our fair share of meltdowns...twice in Epcot and once in DHS. It happens. I've put MYSELF on the bench a few times over the years!![]()
Thanks! Yes, they definitely got a lot easier, and my later pages look a lot better than my first few pages.Your autograph pages are great! I have the same Disney cartridge for my Cricut! It definitely gets easier the more you practice!
GG is totally a must-do for us now. It was the most fun character dining experience! And AP was so nice - I will definitely go back there as well.You totally have me dying to try Artist Pointe and Garden Grill! I always wanted to try GG but didn't find the menu very appealing (we are NOT healthy eaters, unfortunately), but now I'm really interested in it! I briefly perused the AP menu when I was planning for October but it didn't make the cut. Next time, for sure though!
I was looking at your pics of your view from your room and I was like "hey babe! Look! Our room was alllllllll the way down there, on the other side!" We were on the Swan & Dolphin side in the villas....on the 4th floor. At the VERY END of a VERY LONG hallway. But we also had a "secret door" but I think we only used it once.
Oh, I'm so jealous! I can't even remember the last time I went to an adult movie at the theatre. At LEAST six years ago. I would love to see that one! I hope it was great!!!OK we're off to the movies to see Catching Fire then it's back to catching up!![]()
We did a CP breakfast on our trip before this one - definitely very good too! We really enjoyed the lunch fare as well. And who doesn't like giant stuffed animals wandering around, right???Oh I love Crystal Palace. We've never had anything but breakfast there though. So many cute pictures with Willow and the characters. And I had to laugh when you mentioned how she was loving the AC. Boy do I know it! That August heat is brutal!
Welcome!!! Thanks so much for joining in. I hope you will continue to read and post!Just found this what a great tr. can't wait to hear abot the rest of your trip.
