A little late but I'm joining in! Love all the pics

 

[Disneyfreak616]

Have a great and magical trip!!!!!

Your meal at WCC looks great - especially that s'mores cheesecake!

Thank you so much!!! It was delicious! That cheesecake was sooo good.​

Awww, really fun trip report and pre-trip report!!

I'll definitely be checking in to see how your new WDW adventure goes. Especially since you'll be staying at two of my favorite resorts (although the clown slide at Boardwalk...).

And the food? Woo hoo...looks fabulous!! As someone who eats my way through WDW on a regular basis ("Why yes I am having a red velvet cupcake for breakfast, is that a problem?"), I'm super excited to see all the yummy things you're going to choose. Have you had that nutella waffle fruit thing at Sleepy Hollow yet??? I'm dying to try it, so if you happen to be over there....

Have a safe drive and a wonderful trip!!

Thank you!

YAY please do! I love those resorts and I'm actually not scared of the clown slide at all haha.

Thank you! I'm quite excited about it all. Not at all! I eat cupcakes for breakfast often in WDW! I have tried it! I had it in May and it was AMAZING!! <3 Definitely worth it!​

Awwww Kristen!!! You are sooo close to T minus lets get the show on the road!! Believe me if I see you I will scream - in an excited way of course!!

What a great trip and I for one am looking forward to seeing what the 'suprise' dinner will be. One day I would love to do the GF tea - I think I just need to make it a girl trip for that since I don't picture my DH daintily sipping tea and eating little sandwiches! As for the rest of your ADRs, we are eating at many of the same restaurants so if you don't see us around the parks and such we may pop up at one of those places.

I wish you safe travels and hope you have an amazing trip with your family.

Take care my little frumpy friend!

Hehe I am! I cannot WAIT!!! Oh yay please do! That would absolutely make my life! It amazes me that people are excited to meet me, but it absolutely warms my heart life nothing else. I love the DIS!

It's gonna be a great one! The tea is deifnitely a great choice for a girl's trip, for sure. Aww yay are you really!? If you want to PM me the dates and times of your ADR's we can see if they match up!

Thank you so much! Safe travels and magical memories to you as well! ​

The Boardwalk and AKL are both VERY high on my list of 'Resorts I'm Dying to Stay At.' (But like... that's normal. Why does Disney have so many fantastic resorts?) You're a LUCKY GIRL!!!

All your ADRs are so awesome! Most of those are places I've never been, so I'll be excited to hear what you think about them!

YAYYYYY HAVE FUN! Of course I'll be hanging on your every tweet.

They are both absolutely PERFECT. I'm in love. Of course, Bay Lake Tower is on my list you lucky duck! The Disney resorts seriously blow my mind though. In the words of Penny from Happy Endings: "AH-MAH-ZING."

Thank you! I'm VERY excited about them all. I can't wait to share!

Thanks so much girl!!! YAY please do! I know I did when you were there and LEFT US IN SUSPENSE. Tehehe.​

Hey Kristen!!! Ahh, right back to Disney you go!!! I can't wait to read all your Twitter updates... I mean frumpdates. Woohoo!!!

Hmm.. I wonder if the Whispering Canyon milkshakes are better than the ones at Sci Fi, because those are the best milkshakes I've ever had. Clearly, I will have to do some kind of milkshake tasting challenge one of these trips.

HAHA I love the waitress trying to set you up with cute boys! I may need to make another visit to the WCC very soon if that kinda thing is going down over there!

Ooooh, I actually think I wanna try that Kahlua cake even more than the Smores one! Can I just have both? NOW?

Heyy Lia!! That's me! YAY there will be many Fweets and Frumpdates!

I bet they're probably tied, because I put your judgement of milkshakes and other deliciously unhealthy foods right up there with mine girl.

It was so funny! I guess that's what goes down. Knowing me, I'd meet my future husband there or something. Fart shoes...

That would certainly be nice haha. That's why I have Sarah. That way I can have both! Muahaha.​

What a perfect night at the MK <3 I watched Wishes while on Dumbo once and it was so cool! I love getting different perspectives of it.

HAHAHA your Praise the Lord pic is just amazing. I love the girl in the back row who just looks depressed in contrast to you guys. LOL

I don't even understand that cinnamon roll. Like how can anything be that amazing.

It really was! That's awesome! I never have, but I loved it from the ground there. New perspectives are always welcome.

Oh why thank you! We were thanking God for Splash Mountain, because it truly is a gift haha. That usually happens though. Our enthusiasm dims everybody quite a bit.

I don't either. I think it's not real. We were dreaming that Frumpdate. We're just that skilled that our dreams takes screenshots.​

OMG that video where you guys are filming people around you and saying "You eat that pastry, you drink that drink" etc... that just KILLS me b/c I do that too. My friends and I have this frumpy way of adding live commentary to people's lives and they don't even know it. I can't stop laughing oh man. YOU GUYS.

Wow... split stay between Kidani and Boardwalk? Could that be more perfect?! I am so jealous. But in a loving and supportive way!!! HAVE THE MOST MAGICAL TRIP EVER!!!!!!!

Hahaha well thanks! I was inspired to stalk people that night LOL. We're all just Frumps. I love to add commentary like that! It's a favorite pastime of mine hehe.

YEAH YEAH! I'm LIVIN' IT UP girl!! I'm really quite excited. THANK YOU SO MUCH! We will be Fweeting I'm sure! ​

GREAT updates!! Pool time is so great! I feel like it's so easy to skip at Disney because there is so much other stuff to do, but it's just so great. It should really always be scheduled into trips.

YUM, WCC!! I am so obsessed with their milkshakes. I got a caramel one last time and it was divine! Definitely worth a trip just for milkshakes!

Your MK night looks so great too. LOVE your Splash picture. And your video for that night. You guys are too funny. I want to be at MK night EMH right now.

I hope you have an amazing trip!!

Thanks! It's the best! Sometimes you just need a couple hours to chill.

SO good! They're fabulous! I totally agree.

It was bundles of fun! Thanks!!

Thanks so much! ​

Those plans sound awesome!
I'll be in WDW from the 21st-28th! Maybe I'll see you there!

Thank you! Really!? Well please feel free to say hello if you see me! I would love to meet ya! ​

Have fun on your trip, Kristen! And let me take a shot in the dark at the "surprise" restaurant--either Sci-Fi Dine In at the Studios or Whispering Canyon Cafe? I read your thing on WCC, and it looks hilarious!

And finally, I just have to say it:

"WE NEED KETCHUP!!!"

Thanks! Haha I can't say...but good guesses! YEAH WE DO!​

So many updates to read! Coronado Springs looks so beautiful, and I like how you can see the Dolphin from that picture of the view.

Agreed on Wilderness Lodge - it's such a gorgeous resort. I've never eaten at WCC, but it looks like a lot of fun!

I love Mad Tea Party - riding it at night is so much fun (especially if you spin the teacup as fast as you can). It's been a while since I last watched Wishes from Fantasyland, but it looks like a really unique view! I'll have to do that sometime.

It is! Yeah you can! It made me feel close to my beloved EPCOT resorts.

It's magnificent! Have an amazing time staying there! I hear the rooms were just rehabbed as well, or they are currently doing so. WCC is a blast!

Agreed. It's a great time! You should though, it's a great 360º view.​

You got so many rides done on that evening. I love the Splash Mountain pic - you all do a great job making the ride pictures interesting!

As for your next trip, have a great time at AKV and BWV! Maybe I'll see you at AKL. And you have so many great restaurants planned - I can't wait to see how the food is.

We really did! Thank you! We pride ourselves on it LOL.

Thanks so much! I certainly hope we do! I can't wait for the food either. I'm so excited for all the new places and all the ol' favorites! ​

SIX UPDATES?! Have you been taking your crazy pills? Because that is just madness, Kristen! Don't worry, I will get to them, I just fell so far behind after leaving apparently what were the most busy days on the DIS EVER. But I wanted to wish you a magical trip! And guess what? I'M GOING TO BE DOWN THERE TOO! No, really I am, surprise!

...
...

Okay, I'm not. I'm not going to be back there until 2014 (ughhhhh), but you asked if anyone was going to be down there so I had to... I don't know I'm weird. I really wish I was down there, I miss my Disney but I'll just live vicariously through your tweets like always. to all your ADRs, so glad to see Sanaa has made the list hehe One of my all time faves! Again, hope you have an awesome time!

I'm so sorry! Shouldn't Edgar be informing you of these things???

Thanks Timmy! Hey that'll be here before ya know it! Sanaa is SO fab, I can't wait! ​

Have a magical trip.

Thank you so much! ​

Totally living through you vicariously while your'e there.

Have fun on your trip! Can't wait to follow along on twitter and instagram!

The Pre-Trip Report: August 2012!

August 12th, 2012

Hey there y'all! I hope you're enjoying the SIX updates I posted earlier! Exactly 51 hours from right now I will be up and at 'em and getting ready to go to DISNEY!!!

Now, because some of you have asked, and because I love sharing my plans, here is the OFFICIAL FRUMPDOWN (rundown) of the August 2012 Disney Extravaganza!!!

Mom, Scott and Sarah will be coming on this trip with me, and we will be driving just like last year! It's about an 18-hour drive from here to my actual home, so on the first day we'll drive about 15 hours and stay overnight in Georgia (Hi peaches!) and then do the remaining 3 the next morning!

Once we (finally) arrive in Disney, we will be checking into our DVC home resort, none other than the beautiful Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas- Kidani Village!!!!

(Photos courtesy of the DIS)

I am SO excited to stay here! My whole family is OBSESSED with AKL, so we're excited that we can finally call it home! We'll be in a deluxe studio there from August 15th-23rd!

Then, on August 23rd, we'll be switching to none other than Disney's Boardwalk Villas!!!!

(Photo courtesy of the DIS)

I love that fountain! I saw it every day in July!

I am so excited to stay here again! I was there less than a month ago with Allie for the first time and I fell in LOVE with it! It's pretty much my favorite place ever now. I can't wait to show my family around! We'll be in a deluxe studio at the Boardwalk from August 23rd-28th!

Now, in addition to 10 days of Park Hopping, Downtown Disney, Resort Hopping, and pool time, there will be plenty of FOOD!!!!

Are we surprised? I didn't think so.

We'll be on the basic Disney Dining Plan, but we have a few OOP meals planned as well. Since I know you're all just DYING to know, here's the OFFICIAL LINEUP:
~ Rainforest Cafe (dinner- DAK)
~ San Angel Inn (dinner)
~ Le Cellier (lunch)
~ Sanaa (dinner)
~ Grand Floridian Cafe (dinner)
~ 50's Prime Time Café (dinner)
~ The Plaza (lunch)
~ The Turf Club (dinner)
~ Boma (dinner)
~ Boma (breakfast- yes, they're back to back! )
~ Garden View Tea Lounge (lunch/tea)
~ A surprise meal! (dinner- I can't say exactly what it is on here in case Sarah reads this- it's a surprise for her and Scott!)
~ Kona Cafe (dinner)
~ Coral Reef (dinner)
~ Crystal Palace (dinner)
~ Kona Cafe (breakfast)
~ Narcoossee's (dinner)
~ Grand Floridian Cafe (breakfast)

I know, that's a LOT of food! But we're gonna be there for TWO WHOLE WEEKS, so it's fine. No one's mad.

Aside from that, I don't have any major plans to meet up with anyone. Jess' and my friend Alicia (Leasha_Loves_Disney) and I are going to Disney on the same day, and she is starting her DCP in costuming, so I hope I run into her at some point! I have another CM friend who I may hang out with while I'm there, and Brenda (emmysmommy) will be there when I am, but other than that no major plans! If any of you are going to be at WDW when I am, please feel free to pull me aside, scream from across the room, or whatever! I promise I'm super friendly and I don't bite! I love when people say hello to me and I LOVE meeting fellow DISers!

For those of you who won't be at the World, please follow me on Twitter (@disney_frump) and Instagram (disney_frump) for LOADS and LOADS of live Tweets and pics! I can't wait to share it all with you!!

Well, that's about all folks! Thank you all SO MUCH for your continued love and support, it truly means the world to me! I can't wait to return with more stories to share! In the meantime, I'll see ya real soon! ​

Wow!! You are so lucky to be going back so soon!

I cannot wait for all the food pics! Have a wonderfully magical trip!

Just thought I would tell you that we are planning on eating at both O'hana and Whispering Canyon based on what I read in your trip Reports. It looks wonderful and we have decided to eat at restaurants we haven't eaten at before next trip...now if we could just fast forward a couple (12) months.

Oh my gosh are you really!? Fantastic! I'm so honored that you're planning based on my reports! I assure you that those are two absolutely wonderful restaurants and excellent experiences as a whole. Have a magical time! It'll be here before ya know it! ​

SO MANY UPDATES.

Coronado Springs is just beautiful. I love all of the bright colors.

I miss the Wilderness Lodge so much. It’s my favorite resort.

I am starving from looking at these skillet pictures. YUMMMMMYYY.

I do not understand why I have never tried the s’mores cheesecake. It looks heavenly.

I have never heard of rubbing the bear’s nose brings you good luck! Pretty cool. I will have to do that next time.

I just watched Wishes from Fantasyland last week and it was so cool. Such a different experience than from in front of the castle!

I love how you made the picture of Sarah in front of Eeyore’s Gloomy Place black and white

THAT CINNAMON ROLL. NOMS. NOMS.


And I hope you are having a great time at Disney right now!

 

[emmysmommy]

Hi there Kristen! It was AWESOME running into you not once but TWICE!!! I was very excited. Your poor mom probably thought I was a loon but it really was great to see you. You happened to get two Disers in one meet when you saw me with DonaldDoleWhip the first time! That was pretty cool! If you want the photos that I have of both of our meets, just PM me and I will send them your way. I didn't want to include them in my review until I see if it was ok with you!!

BTW: I loved BWV so now I have a dilemma since I have two resorts that are on my must do list. I see split stays continuting in the future!

Take care and I look forward to hearing all the details about your trip!!!

Isn't it!? The colors are amazing.

I really REALLY want to stay there!!

Me too. I need to find some dinner...nah too lazy.

It's amazing. I was in love.

Yeah! It's a little WL legend I heard about!​

Isn't it cool? I thought it was very different but definitely awesome.

Hahaha I thought it was the obvious thing to do. "Thanks for noticin'."

SO. GOOD.

I had an absolute blast!! Hope you had a great time as well! I loved all your tweets! ​

Hey Brenda! It was so great to run into you too! And DDW! Haha my mom thinks y'all are super precious! I PM'd you about those pics, thanks! It is absolutely okay with me!

Oh yay! SO glad you loved it! It's tied with Yacht Club for the top spot in my book. Split stays are the way to go for longer trips, I think.

Thanks. You too! ​
