"I'm Doing That Again... and AGAIN!" - A May/June 2013 TR

[407-W-DISNEY]

Thanks for the update! I also can't believe you didn't get anything at Beaches & cream!!! Yummy!! Yummy!! I can never be too full for ice cream!
What a fun day and Wishes from the Poly beach....AWESOME!

 

[Mrs T 2009]

Great update!!!!!

You guys visited awesome resorts!!!

 

[RachelNinja]

How adorable that you don't want to stay at Animal Kingdom "belodge" without Jacob! That'll be an extra magical trip

Haha, I laughed out loud about the toe-sniffing mouse because of the way you wrote it though I would have screamed too!!!

AHHHHhhhh...so many lovely resorts in your last update. That sounds like just my kinda day, resort hopping and relaxing! That's too bad you didn't get the lovely Beach Club lobby smell (yeuch - it is NOT supposed to smell like fish!), but at least you got it at the Polynesian -- and I think that smell is FAR better anyway.

I COMPLETELY second your idea of sitting by the Wilderness Lodge fireplace with some coffee and a book. The Wilderness Lodge generally is just such a cozy place to hang out. Can't wait to hear what's next!

Hey, y'all! I have to apologize once again for my delay in updates... I feel like such a bum. I have a goal though, and I WILL be updating before the week is over! Then this weekend, I'm planning to sit at this computer for as long as I have to and get the rest of this TR written up! That way I won't have to go so long between updating again! So much has happened since my last update, including me starting a new (second) job, going on a mini trip to the beach, and turning 25. It's been busy, but fun! So thank you once again for being patient (at least as far as I can tell, HAHA!) and I promise that I'm not doing this on purpose. I feel awful, and hopefully I can get out of the 'one update a month' business very soon! Thanks for being awesome as usual!

How do you know we are being patient? For all you know we get on here everyday to check your trip report and are yelling at the screen because there are no updates?!

I'm kidding of course! I totally understand. Life gets in the way of a good trip report. Happy belated birthday!! It sounds like you are really busy. We will all be here ready to read when you get back!

I love meeting the chipmunks so much! I didn't get a chance back in April, but I know that I will once we can save up and go back again.

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

YAY Marissa!!! Welcome Back!

Hmmm I can't even comment on the norm for buses at POP since I have never taken one. Always a car for me.

Oh thank God you had an extra battery. I always keep extras too. You can't be too careful. ...Oops spoke too soon.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Despite being everywhere, Chip and Dale are a can't miss as they are always perfect!

There's not much I can add to FOTLK. World class.

Not only can you not go wrong with Disney nuggets, I honestly think they're the best anywhere. And I know my nuggets.

I totally get you on the photos. I generally always take a lot, but the last trip was the first with an actual TR in mind so... well over 2000 in 6 days.

 

[IheartDDuck]

Hahaha, I love the chipmunks! They have always been immensely entertaining when we've met them.

I had camera problems on my first trip to Europe. And by problems, I mean the batteries dying. And then the spare wouldn't even work. So my phone basically had like all the pictures for one day.

Nice seat at Finding Nemo!

Girl, I get looked at like I'm a lunatic all the time.

 

[shan23877]

Love your interaction with Chip and Dale! They're always so funny.

You got your shows in! We've still never seen Nemo, but it looks really cute!

 

[emmysmommy]

Marissa, it's completely ok, you can't have too many HSM references - after all, we're all in this together! I even watched that show.

I tear up for FotLK song 'Can you feel the love tonight' as well. No shame in that.

ELEPHANTS! Yes, definitely photo worthy on the safari. That's the best part of the safari.

Your meet up with Chip and Dale was hilarious. Those guys are some of the best.

dun dun dun dun... oh no!

 

[Mrs T 2009]

FOTLK is a favorite!!! <3

Dun dun dun........ doesn't sound like a good omen!!! LoL

I love reading your TR's they make me miss wdw and feel so immersed in your trip!

 

[Nakkira]

Really loving your trip report.

It has made me start wanting a Solo Trip.
Quite a bit actually.

I lobe my DBF and my Family, but I think it would be great to have a chance to explore and "do it my way".

This must happen someday.

BTW don't feel too bad, my camera is almost equally incapable of dark dark shops.

Can't wait for the next post!
BTW you rock!

 

[Pluto0809]

Yay an update!

Aren't the Chipmunks fun to meet? They always provide lots of entertainment.

Ah, FOLK, one of my favorites (I have lots and lots of favorites at WDW ). I'm bumming a little because I couldn't watch your videos on my stupid work computer. But at least I have the soundtrack loaded on it so now I need to go and listen. I'm also sad that it's rumored to be closed when we I'm there next in February. I'm hoping those rumors are not true!

When we stayed at POP in 2010, we never ate lunch or dinner in the food court. We did breakfast everyday though and my favorite was the POP waffle. Shhh, but I think I liked it better than Mickey Waffles. I know, sacrilege right? Don't know if they still do it but right at 8 am each day they would play the twist really loudly and a lot of people would get up and dance. Not me though, too early in the morning for that!

Nothing like having a whole bus to yourself! I wonder where you are heading? I honestly can't remember which park you haven't been too yet. Guess I read too many TRs.

 

[danimaroo]

Hahahaha, I laughed out loud that you were CRAVING Animal Kingdom. But it's totally understanding because AK is an amazing park.

Awww I love your meeting with Chip and Dale. They're so adorable. It has been YEARS since I've met up with them, and clearly I need to fix this on our next trip. I love those little nuggets.

I still need to see FoTLK. I know, don't hate me, I still haven't seen it. It just hasn't worked out in our schedules yet I guess... but I know how much you love it, so at SOME POINT we will go see it!

High School Musical totally came out when I was "too old" for it. I was definitely a Zenon girl though.. I freakin' LOVED that movie! Zoomzoomzoom, make my heart go boom boom... my supernova giirrrrlll.

HAHA I remember seeing your Pop Vine when you first made it.

All of this foreshadowing has me extremely intrigued! I want to know what's going to happennnnn.

 

[smile4stamps]

I LOVE FOTLK! I was going to go to it twice my last trip but my DH wanted to pass I did see it once before he arrived at the park though!

Nemo is a good show as well but FOTLK wins for me!

Love all your character pictures!

 

[kansasdisneygal]

Yay! I am so excited for your update. Pop is a fun resort. We never had bus problems, so I am sad you did. I am super excited for the next couple updates because of your resort change! We are staying at your second resort in May! So any pics of it just gets me excited. (I don't want to give it away to those who don't know, that's why I didn't name it!!) I am excited to hear about when you will be returning! Any chance it's at the end of May again???
