"How to rule the World in five days" ** Our very last trip to Disney.. Completed !

Great update and I'm glad to hear the restaurants will sometimes seat you early. I'm hoping to get in earlier for our Princess Storybook lunch next week, so we'll see! Two more sleeps and we'll be headed to the World!
Gonig to check out you PTR now. :car:
 
We left Epcot, Grumpy ignoring my pleas to ride Spaceship Earth. I believe it's the one and only ride we had yet to try at Epcot and I was determined to do it by the end of the trip. Not today though. The wait time was an incredible 45mns!!! :eek:

So we went back to our beloved Polynesian, and my mom of course went straight to the pool. I spent our afternoon break reading on the beach, packing, and waiting. I was bored to death when finally, it was 5pm, and Grumpy agreed to get out of the darn pool and go to Magic Kingdom with me.

We decided that since we were going to be sitting on the floor we could dress extra comfy. So Grumpy & I wore our matching tie-dye WDW shirts... and I convinced my mom to wear her brand new ears! She called it her "veil".

Don't she look prutty???

We hopped on the monorail and entered MK. People were already taking spots for Spectro, and we really wanted to see it upclose this time so I suggested we do the same.
First, we had to find Trisha.

Trisha is Grumpy's new best friend. Thanks to her, she can sit on the curb for a long time and not feel like her spine is going to come out of her.... backside area.
Trisha is on the right side of the street, not far from a vending cart, a few steps away from Casey's (on the opposite side). Trisha was there!!! Waiting for us !!!! We were thrilled.

I don't have a picture of Trisha. But ya'll know what a trash can looks like, right?

Grumpy hugged the trash can - nah, she didn't, but she wanted to! She sat down and I decided now would be the time to go over to Splash Mountain and get FPs. Grumpy was instructed to stretch her butt as far as it would go and keep a space for me. When I came back with (what would turn out to be useless) FPs people were surrounding our spot and I could barely squeeze my giant butt next to my mom. Lesson learned, once you have your spot, sit down and don't move!

Oooh it's dark! Spectro is gonna start very,very soon! :dance3:

I got my wish. We got to see Spectro from upclose, no one to block our view, and it was incredible. I even managed to get some not-too-bad-for-night-shots pics.

It was almost the end and Grumpy spotted Snow White.
Now it might seem odd that someone nicknamed Grumpy would loathe Snow White that much. My Grumpy has a perfectly logical explaination for this.

Snow White is a spoiled not-even-princess who uses poor eager to please dwarves to do all the chores while all she does is eat apples and sleep.

Hence, Snow White is L'esclavagiste as far as my mother is concerned.

And there was Snow White, holding Sleepy's hand, heading our way!!!!

Grumpy was terrified. "Oh no, she saw me, she wants an 8th slave!!!" and hid behind my shoulder.

Snow White came right to us and talked to us "Excuse me,would you mind helping me ? My friend can't seem to wake up!"
So we got to pat Sleepy's hand and talk to him until he was awake enough to go on his way. He was adorable !!!!

"Wow, Snow White was nice!!!"
"See, she isn't so bad after all... she didn't even try to recruit you for dwarf duty!"

The rest of the night was great. After Spectro was Wishes, then we took full advantage of the evening EMH. We rode Buzz Lightyear, Stitch, Small World, Peter Pan, PhilarMagic, Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, and finished off with Pirates of the Caribbean where we had a whole boat to ourselves. Then we shopped on Main Street until we realized the CMs wanted us to hurry up and leave... it was close to 2am.

Overall it was a great day. I was thrilled that we had succeeded in doing both morning EMH at Epcot and evening EMH at MK.
What I didn't know, is that we would pay for it the next day. :headache:
 
Hi Marina!

Once again, your TRs bring mirth and delight -- thanks for keeping us entertained as the cool breezes of Autumn in the northern U.S. turn our thoughts and our dreams to warmer weather and all things Disney.

For those of us with zero high school French (or any other type for that matter), could you translate "L'esclavagiste"?

Gracias!
Maria
 
Yay! another great update! Your mom is just the cutest! Everytime I saw a Grumpy shirt last month in Disney I thought, "Hmmm, Marina's mom would love this one!" :)
 

WOW an early Epcot day and a late MK day!! WDW Commando's you are!!! Great pics from Spectro!

I second that... I'm guessing it means "lazy"?

great update once again... I have never seen spectro and now I'm thinking I must! I especially love the peacock float you had a photo of! :thumbsup2
 
I keep forgetting that word doesn't exist in English, sorry!!

The rough translation would be, I guess, "the slaverist". princess:
 
Boy, that was close I'm glad Snow White didn't make Grumpy her 8th dwarf, she already has more than enough. I liked Grumpy veil she looked cute. Great TR keep it coming.
 
Loved Grumpy's ears!!! So good to hear another update. I remember when I saw Spectromagic. We also sat on the ground. The couple behind us couldn't control their little ones and I ended up with a backside wet from apple juice.
 
Yeah!!!!

I want to see SpectroMagic up close too! DD never wants to sit and wait for it. But this trip I have a whole day to myself before Mom comes and I am going to see the parade come hell or high water!!!
 
LOL!! I swear that the pics I have from Spectro are nearly identical to yours! :rotfl2: Grumpy was so cute in her ears!

OMG I want to go back so badly right now! Reading TR's makes me feel better and worse at the same time! I would give anything to ride Haunted Mansion right now! Only one year to go..... :sad2:
 
Yippee...a new update! Thanks for translating for us as well, my French is extremely limited.
 
Love Grumpy's ears - suits her well.

Really glad to hear that Snow White picked up on Grumpy and realized that one Grumpy in the pack was enough. Nice to see Trisha was still there waiting for you. Did you tell her not to move before you come back? You expect her to stay put.

I'm exhausted reading about your day - I'm amazed actually. I could never do it. Thanks for the update - makes me even more excited knowing that in 2 days I'll be at WDW. :banana:

Looking forward to more - I leave Wednesday at noon eastern, if you would like to post before then.... (hint, hint)
 
I love the pictures of Spectro. I agree with Grumpy and her opinion of Snow White. She is my least favorite of the princesses. She just really isn't all that bright. One of these days I will update my TR to include our experience with Snow. It was better than I would have imangined and she played the character well. Anyway, another great update.
 
Grumpy was terrified. "Oh no, she saw me, she wants an 8th slave!!!" and hid behind my shoulder.

:lmao: OMG, your Mom cracks me up as much as you do. Great installment. I can't wait to read more!!

:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

Trisha....now that is really funny! :lmao:



Great update Marina!:thumbsup2
