"I Don't Wanna Meet Mickey In a Frumpin' Poncho!" An August 2011 TR! COMPLETE 11/30

[librarymouse]

YUM all of that food looks amazing! Hopefully we can do Le Cellier on this trip since we will have DDP. I keep hearing about the pretzel bread and cheddar cheese soup, and I know I would love it!

The Canada pavilion in gorgeous! You got some great photos.

I had fun following along with your most recent trip on twitter and instagram- it was *almost* like being there!

 

[SummerInDisney]

Welcome back!! I just followed you on instagram and I loved looking through your trip pictures! Ahh le cellier is looking beautiful as always <3 The picture of the clouds behind the Epcot ball is amazing! Can't wait till the next installment

Hi Kristen,

Glad to hear that you all made it back safely. It was pretty neat being in Disney at the same time as you guys. We did a lot of the same things as you guys, just on different days. We came home on Friday. I'm really enjoying your trip reports!

 

[MissPrice]

Yay! Welcome back. I'm glad you had an amazing time and can't wait for the trip report. I followed you on Instgram so I got to see some of your pictures. Mmmm Le Cellier looks so good. DH and I have not been there yet but we scored a lunch ADR for our January trip. To bad lunch goes up to 2 credits in 2013 I'm sure it will be worth it though. Isn't Martin Short hilarious. His Jimminy Glick character cracks me up! Beautiful pictures of the gardens btw. -Amanda

 

[Disneyfreak616]

Glad to hear you and Allie had a great time on your last trip (and that my main man misses me )! So excited to read all about it!

You slept until 10:30?!?!?! BLASPHEMY! Weren't you the one who coined the term "No sleeping in Disney"?! Not. Okay. Love the picture of Scott and Sarah in front of the EPCOT ball! You guys are so funny. to Sarah's snazzy shoes, I need a pair now lol

Thanks! We did! And oh he totally does! I can't wait to share!

I know, I know! But we were up until almost 5 the night before! Plus, Jess and Nat slept in even later than I did! Haha we're frumps.​

YAY LE CELLIER!!! (see what I did there?) I swear I'm going to need to add a fourth meal after looking at all those food pictures. Gosh, it looks so delicious! If I ever go back to Disney that will be my FIRST ADR! I need me some Cheddar Cheese Soup and Pretzel Bread (especially after your very in-depth and stellar reviews)! Canada looks like such a beautiful pavilion! I'm just in love with all those waterfalls, so pretty. Disney Water <3 to seeing O' Canada! It sounds like a really cool experience though it's going to be hard getting past the fact Martin Short was evil ole' Jack Frost :/ Oh and the hopscotch is absolutely adorable

Can't wait to read more (and hopefully it will be a rainless update)!

I see! How funny you are, Timmy. It's gonna be delicious. It's all sooooo good! It's awesome! I love it!

I can't promise ya that!​

That would be one big home run!

Definitely!​

I can’t wait to hear all about your trip. Glad you had a great time!

The whole Canada pavilion is just absolutely beautiful. I love the gardens outside of Le Cellier.

The Chocolate Moose is just awesome.

I LOVE this picture!

Thank you! We did!

Agreed, it's awesome. They're amazing!

YUM!

Thank you!​

Yay you're back I'm so glad to hear you guys had such an awesome vacation!

Le Cellier looks so good from your pictures, not quite sure I think it's worth two credits but maybe I'll have to try it OOP one of these days.

Love the picture of you and Sarah in the Canadian pavilion...too cute!

Can't wait to hear more

YAY! We did, thanks!

It's only one credit for lunch!

Thanks! ​

Welcome home!! I bet you had an awesome time, and I can't wait to hear about it! OMG I love Le Cellier! It's definitely one of our favorites.

Thank you! We definitely did! Le Cellier is sooo good, I love it!​

Glad yall had such a great trip!!! It sounded like you were having fun (at least on twitter)!

Hahha I love that baseball picture. I'm sure even a baseball bat made of steel wouldn't be able to handle Spaceship Earth coming at it!

OMG Le Cellier. I've never been there but I'm eating there... holy crap, a week from today! Oddly enough I'm getting literally the exact same meal you got, right down to the mashed potatoes instead of the risotto! I know that's not TOO odd, since it's a fave, but I still thought it was funny. Like oh, thanks for previewing my meal for me! (Except for the smoothie part. )

We did! Twitter was definitely accurate!

Oh definitely not!

I love it. Ahh that's so soon! I hope you have an AMAZING time and I'm glad I could give you a nice preview of the noms to come! LOL.​

Thank you so much! ​

 

[Kelliroo3]

Welcome back!! I loved reading along with your trip on Twitter. I was there when you were there...got back Friday. We were at BLT and then Beach Club! LOL, def. agree about the Brazilians!! That was probably the most crowded July I've ever seen!

Back to August, you and Sarah seem so close! You sound like a great big sister to her. Love Canada! We ate there for dinner this trip and it was one of our favorites. Delicious. Love the pretzel bread!

Yay Duffy! So fun going around getting him stamped.

We are! Aww thanks. Le Cellier is fabulous. So glad you enjoyed it! Isn't that stuff sooo good? <3

It is! Sarah loved it!​

 

[aras4007]

Glad your back to post more about this trip! (Even though I'm sure you wish you were still there!) I followed along on Twitter and it seems like you guys had a great time! Minus the tour groups! How did you like staying at the Boardwalk Villas? I'll be staying there in September!

 

[__disneygirl]

Welcome Home Kristen! I'm glad to hear it was one of the best trips ever. I can't believe you get to go back so soon. You are the luckiest girl EVER. I can't wait for more frump updates from Twitter...Frumpdates... And more TRs!! You and Jess just provide endless Frump entertainment...Frumptainment. If you can't tell, I enjoy making new words.

I'm all caught up on this one now and I looove that picture of you with NO one else in the UK. That is too awesome. I love getting pics like that right before a park closes or something but not in the middle of the day in the summer. That is so funny.

You're right, I very much did appreciate the Tangled quote! Everything Tangled just makes me smile!

I love all your Ohana tips, unfortunately it is impossible for me to follow them. Those pot stickers and noodles... oh man, if you could marry a food... k: Seriously though.

AHH I just LOVEEEEEEE the frump surprise so much. I love it I love it I love it. If my friends did that to me I would seriously just explode from joy. Like I don't even know what I would do, it would just be the best thing ever. I remember watching that video like 3 times when Jess posted it cause y'all are just too precious!!

Le Cellier... I can not even talk about. The food there is just too good. I NEED MY CHEDDAR CHEESE SOUP!!!!! Sigh

Oh amen. It's amazing. I that stuff SO MUCH.​

 

[alliebelle3]

I don't think it gets much better than Le Cellier!!!! And I do the same as you-- I always sub the mashed potatoes (um, amazing) instead of the risotto!

 

[therussells08]

Before I comment on all the updates I missed, I just have to say how wonderful it was meeting you! Seriously, my mom and I talked about how great you and Allie were the rest of the trip! That was one of the best moments of my trip, and I can’t wait to read your next TR!

But for now, let’s get back to the TR at hand! I have a lot of updates to comment on!

I love monorail peach! It was the first monorail we rode this trip and I was so excited!

Ahhh all of your WS pictures make it miss it so much! I love staying so close to Epcot!

That Alice is so cute! She looks just like the “real” Alice!

I can’t believe I’ve never tried the CS in the UK! It sounds delicious!

My mom and I feel the same way about Mary Poppins that you do! When my mom met her on our trip she seriously almost cried. It was her favorite part of the whole trip!

I’ve never had the Napoleon either! Wow, these updates are full of delicious WS food I need to try!

AHH. I can’t believe Prince Philip was just wandering around! I’ve never seen him in the parks!

I love your ‘Ohana tips! They are all very important to the ‘Ohana first-timer, I think. The first time I ate there I made the rookie mistake of filling up on all the entrees and I barely ate any dessert!

Pete sounds like the coolest CM ever! I can’t wait to read about what happens with him later in the TR!

That’s so cool that you thought Jess might be there! That’s some serious best friend ESP right there.

THE SURPRISE. That is the most magical thing I’ve ever read about happening in Disney! I love reading it from your perspective too after reading about Jess and Nat sneaking around in her TR haha!

HAHAHA Jess and the IaSW deer...I love it!

Reading your EMH update reminded me of the video of that night Jess posted. You guys were cracking me up! I am always so impressed by your EMH energy!

Oh Le Cellier. I could seriously eat there every day of my life. Except soon I wouldn’t be able to fit through the door. Ah well. It’s SO GOOD.

I love monorail peach! It was the first monorail we rode this trip and I was so excited!

Aww thanks Joni! It was absolutely wonderful to meet you too! I hope one of our trips cross in the future! It was definitely one of the best from mine too! Allie and I couldn't get over how precious you and your mom are! Allie kept that cherry Mickey pin you gave her too! She loves it!! I'm so glad you started your TR! I want to start mine soon, but I have to get this one a bit further along first.

It's definitely my favorite monorail color besides the classic red! I used to call my friends "peach" back in the day. ​

Ahhh all of your WS pictures make it miss it so much! I love staying so close to Epcot!

That Alice is so cute! She looks just like the “real” Alice!

I can’t believe I’ve never tried the CS in the UK! It sounds delicious!

My mom and I feel the same way about Mary Poppins that you do! When my mom met her on our trip she seriously almost cried. It was her favorite part of the whole trip!

Isn't is fabulous!? Those EPCOT resorts are AWESOME.

She was perfect!

Oh it is! One of my faves!

Aww really!? She is one of my all-time FAVES. I seriously love her. She's brilliant. That's so cute! I'm so glad your mom loved the characters!​

I’ve never had the Napoleon either! Wow, these updates are full of delicious WS food I need to try!

AHH. I can’t believe Prince Philip was just wandering around! I’ve never seen him in the parks!

Definitely! The Napolean is FANTASTIC.

I know! I wanted to officially meet him, with the pic and the stand-still interaction. Ah, well. Maybe someday!

Thanks! I know, it's just so hard! I just LOVE the bread and the noodles and the pot stickers. NOMS.​

Pete sounds like the coolest CM ever! I can’t wait to read about what happens with him later in the TR!

THE SURPRISE. That is the most magical thing I’ve ever read about happening in Disney! I love reading it from your perspective too after reading about Jess and Nat sneaking around in her TR haha!

He is! I love him! He's actually gonna be coming up in the MAY trip report!

It was SO weird. It was honestly one of the strangest feelings I've ever experienced. I don't even know how to describe it!

The surprise was the best moment EVER. I seriously couldn't believe that they would do something like that for me! Well, I could, but I was just TOTALLY dumbfounded. It was awesome!! ​

HAHAHA Jess and the IaSW deer...I love it!

Reading your EMH update reminded me of the video of that night Jess posted. You guys were cracking me up! I am always so impressed by your EMH energy!

Oh Le Cellier. I could seriously eat there every day of my life. Except soon I wouldn’t be able to fit through the door. Ah well. It’s SO GOOD.

She's a HUGE frump.

Hahaha well I'm glad we're amusing! There's NO sleeping in Disney!

You and me both. They should just have a dedicated Frump table there. And when we can't fit in the door, we'll move the table outside! Problem solved. ​

 

[emmysmommy]

Welcome back!!!! And happy counting down since you only have, what? a month or more before you are back?? We'll be at BW Villas starting 8/18.
I saw mention of Pete - is he the CM Pete for CL?? If so, we loved him!

I love, love, crazy love Le Cellier. The pretzel bread and soup could be a meal alone but throw in a mushroom filet and well...my taste buds do a happy dance because of the awesomeness!

Glad you are back!

 

[POLY1985]

Welcome back - glad you had a good trip!
I love the Canadian area - the gardens and waterfalls are so pretty. I had wanted to see the movie again this time but we ran out of time. I am still drooling over the cheddar soup - it is SO delicious!

He works at the DVC kiosks!

Me and you both! It's fabulous! It's such a huge meal but it's all so fantastic!

Chapter 21- "We Had to Bribe Her With a Mickey Bar!"​

August 20th, 2011​

We decided to leave EPCOT because it looked like rain.

We were wrong.

It may have looked like rain, but it acted like a MONSOON.

Talk about a wolf in sheep's clothing!

We got back to CSR and I RAN for it to our building. I didn't even have my poncho with me! I got to Jess and Nat's room first because it was closer. I went in there and made a big ol' show of myself frumpin' around all drenched.

I dried off, went up to my room, bid my family adieu and moved my suitcase downstairs! I was gonna sleepover that night! My family's plan was to just hang out at the resort until a little later when they would come to DHS.

Us Frumps got ready, enjoyed some Stacey, and headed out almost right away! The MONSOON had cleared up and we were off to Hollywood Studios!

I look a little "rained out" if you ask me.

We decided to head to one of my all-time FAVORITE rides, Tower of Terror!

I look like someone flashed me and I'm appalled or something. FAIL.

The wait was only 13 minutes, so we hopped right in line!

Nat had never been on before, so she was really scared. She HATES elevators.

Of course, I was only making things worse but talking in scary voices and freaking her out more!

I'm so mean.

BUT, we told her that if she went through with it, we'd get her a Mickey Bar as soon as it was over.

Yep.

We bribed a 17-year-old with Mickey Bars.

And it worked.

She ended up LOVING Tower of Terror (albeit that she didn't get the picture concept all that well...but it was her first time, so I guess she's off the hook) and we headed to the nearest ice cream cart so she could have herself a Mickey Bar.

She was very excited. They're her favorite dessert in Disney World!

Wait Nat! We have to take a food picture!

There we go! Whew!

Nat was so happy that she just plopped herself down in the middle of the pavement and swayed back in forth in sheer joy while she ate the whole thing.

It was all really precious.

But no resting for too long, we had characters to meet!

Almost every day at 5 pm at the Animation Building, TONS of rare and popular characters come out for meet and greets! Jess and I had heard about this from PrincessCaitlin's trip report and we couldn't WAIT to check it out!

We headed over there, and we saw all the promo posters for Winnie the Pooh and The Lion King in 3D. Jess and I had to take a picture, because we had sung Hakuna Matata at school, and I was Timon!

We headed inside and saw Pocahontas! She was with Meeko, and they were just leaving, but Mulan came out a few minutes later!

We talked about being Warriors, and she was really precious.

We saw some touches from the new Winnie the Pooh movie, like the infamous spelling of Tail.

I like their way a LOT better. Tael. It's just a lot cuter to look at.

Next, we saw that Jafar was out! He was SOOO creepy! He kept staring down at me and it was WEIRD. He was good at his part though!

We didn't linger too long with him, needless to say. It was cool to meet him though, because he's so rare to see out!

Next we found a much frumpier villain and his even frumpier sidekick!

Captain Hook and Mr. Smee! I told Captain Hook I'd say hi to Peter Pan for him, and he was NOT happy about that.

Next we saw Minnie and Pluto, and they were absolutely ADORABLE.

Minnie was scratching Pluto's tummy, and Pluto was licking our hands. It was the most precious thing EVER.

Last we saw Jasmine! Unfortunately, her man wasn't with her, but we had a nice chat anyway!

Jess told Jasmine that she was her favorite, and when Jasmine asked why, her response was: "Because I want to be you!"

................

Good reason, I know.

What a FRUMP.

We all had a great chat and we posed like princesses! Well...some of us did. Others had a little trouble with the leg extension.

*ahem* NAT *ahem*

Hehehe.

Can you tell I've been practicing though? I always tell my mom she messed up as a parent because while most teenagers are practicing their booty-shaking, I'm practicing my princess poses.

Ah well.

We said goodbye to Jasmine and went in search of some FOOD! Stay tuned!

Hehehe.
​

Ya know, Kristen, I can't believe one of your own kin (Nat) messed up a leg extension that all frumps probably know how to do. That's just like...weird!

Poor girl was probably still lost in her Mickey Bar memories...​

 

[PlutosRHM55]

You and your monsoons, Kristen... they seem to be endless in your TRs! Gosh! lol Well I'm glad you survived and made it to Nat and Jess' room without a scratch So jealous you had a sleepover in Disney World, so very very jealous...

YAY DHS! I love your pictures in front of the hat and Kristen, you do not look rained out, you look fine. to riding ToT! Your face truly is priceless, I feel it translates better to, "How dare you take a picture of me next to the godly Tower of Terror?! Why did we even give Nat the camera? *shakes head in dismay*" Just a translation! LOL @ you freaking out Nat, thank god my friends didn't do that to me when I rode it for the first time or there would be a major panic attack like Nat's but MUCH MUCH worse. Though I guess the Mickey Bar made it not as painful, such a beautiful remedy those Mickey Bars

Ooooo... Characterpalooza! Really got to remember that for my next trip because... well, I NEED TO MEET MORE CHARACTERS! So jealous you guys got to meet Jafar, Captain Hook and Smee! I'm weird so I love villains and Smee is the man so... right up my alley! Hopefully I'll hit the Characterpalooza perfectly next time I'm in the World! And hopefully by then, Nat has perfected her princess posing haha Well, first timer, so you gotta give her credit!

Ooooo... I see there is more food in this TR's future, I'm excited! (yup, totally trying to change up my signature exit phrase )
