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

[emma212010]

Yay!! I'm so glad you get to stay at AoA!!!! You are going to LOVE it!!!! Also, I can't wait to hear about your other resort!! That is awesome for your sister and her friend! What a fun little getaway, and who doesn't love a marriage in Disney???

 

[kansasdisneygal]

Is it bad that I sang ch-ch-ch-changes out loud when I read your post??? Haha!! I am so curious about where you are staying now?!?!?!?
Your sister must have had a great time. A wedding at Disney would be like a dream come true, so I bet she had a fun time being part of the wedding party. I can NOT wait to see New Fantasyland. I am a huge Beauty and the Beast fan!

Everyone's been freaking out about Frozen (including me) but I felt the same way about Ralph!
​

Ummm...yes, this is so me. Except while I love Frozen, I didn't exactly freak out about it. I FREAKED out about Wreck It Ralph. Like a lot. I was obsessed before I even saw it and even with my impossibly high standards I imposed for it, it blew them all away!! It was so intense that even when I worked at the Disney Store, I was known as "Wreck It Kimmy" and I was who they chose to give the movie poster to! You know it's real love when it's more than the rest of the Disney people.

And yes...Fix It Felix should meet and Game Central Station should be a ride. PSYCH. It should be a whole land.

Oh we're done talking about Wreck It Ralph now? Okay...I guess I'll move on.

I love the drawing class. I haven't been for a while though, which is really a sad thing. I think it's fun that the animator chose to do something themed to the event!!

So jealous of your sister being in the wedding at WDW. I don't even have to be the bride, I'd take any wedding part at a Disney wedding myself! I'm sure the whole ceremony was beautiful! How lucky that your sister got upgraded! What is with your family?! pixie dust: I wish my family had magical Contemporary upgrade powers! (I'd probably have to stay there first, wouldn't I?)

I'm so curious about your new hotel!

I'm all caught up! Luckily you didn't post much while I was gone so I didn't get too far behind.

The Wreck It Ralph characters are on the top of my list for this May, I can't wait to meet them! And I will be doing lots of meet and greets this time because shockingly enough, Jim decided to come with me! I about fell out of my chair when he said he wanted to come along. We are still staying at POR but I changed us from a Royal Room to a Preferred Room to save some money. I really wanted a King Bed room but there were none left with the special.

Your Duck Maul drawing is really cute! I didn't make it to an animation class last week so that is another thing on the top of my list for May.

I do like that French Movie but it's so comfy and dark in there I tend to dose off a little.

I can say from personal experience that there's nothing quite like a Disney wedding. I'm sure your sister had a great time.

I keep telling my friends to get married at Disney but no one has yet. LOl. Maybe someday.
I would love anything Frozen. I am obsessed with it. LOL

I am obsessed with pretzels but can you believe I've never had a Mickey one? I guess I always want a Mickey ice cream sandwich instead. Plus if it's hot, my body doesn't crave a salty snack. Someday I need to have one though.

As a Slushy "expert" I can tell you that blue does usually equal Raspberry. Strange I know but maybe they just want to make it different than all the other red flavors.

You asked what Norway looks like now that Frozen is such a hit. All I'm going to say is "oh my heck" it was crowded when we were there. My aunt just wanted to see if there was any Frozen merchandise for her grandkids and we literally had to fight our way into the store. People are waiting 4 hours to meet Anna and Elsa so you can imagine the crowds that gather. Plus you have people waiting for Akershus and Maelstrom. It was quite the nightmare actually.

Stop showing me pictures of the Royal Rooms, you're making me regret my decision to switch!

Bummer that you fell asleep but sometimes our bodies just dictate what we need. Hopefully it left you refreshed for your last day!

I'm going to send you a PM with my schedule for May so you can see if any of our days coordinate.

 

[amazingact21]

Oh no! I guess that heat really took it out of you, and you needed some rest. I can understand how that would be disappointing, because sleep is wasted Disney time, but I'm sure it was the best thing for you. Hopefully, you became fully rested and were able to get a ton done on your last day!

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

MMMMM the American Dream is good. I just recently had my first one too.

Norway is CRAZY NUTS now. But Holy Hell THAT'S the line for Maelstrom????? WOW!!!!

Oh Marissa, honest to God my heart literally breaks hearing that you feel asleep for so long. You certainly don't need to feel ashamed as obviously you needed it, but it's still so heartbreaking. OMG I would probably lose it. BUT, all the more reason to make the last day even better!!!!

 

[Mrs T 2009]

OMG! I NEED/WANT a soft pretzel....with cream cheese...yum LoL

That dream drink thingy looks so good! I know my son would love it!

Ugh, crowds make me flustered/frustrated!

Oh no!! Exhaustion got the best of you!!
At least you have one more day!!

 

[kansasdisneygal]

Adding The American Dream to my checklist of foods to try in May!! The pretzel looks good too!!! Noms.
I have had that moment of overwhelming heat, too. I don't know why, but Epcot feels like it is on the surface of the Sun sometimes.
Oh, my heart just breaks when I read that you fell asleep. When we go back for afternoon breaks, I am always nervous that our alarm won't go off. I would have probably bawled my eyes out to know I had lost that time. Don't feel bad or embarrassed by it, your body obviously needed the rest.
Last day??? Noooo.....
Oh and hey it's MARCH.... We both go to Disney in two months!!!

 

[PopArtGal]

Oh yum! I wanna try the American dream. Is it at the stand or the liberty inn?

And why have I never seen the Mickey pretzels? Both going on my list Thx

 

[tiggerfan77]

I agree summer in Orlando is definitely easier to handle than Richmond in the summer, sheesh! And how bout this never ending winter! I am so ready for it to be warm again!
Anyway...Nooooooo, to you falling asleep on your second to last day! You were too busy having fun to notice how tire your body was!! Oh well, I know you'll make your last day count

 

[flyergrad09]

Mmmm... a Mickey pretzel sounds so good right now!

I really hope that the Frozen craziness has worn off by the time we go in October. I want my nice and quiet Norway back!

I've totally done that "I'll just lay down for a minute" thing before. Never at Disney, but I slept through a Halloween party in college once and I was SO MAD at myself. So I can't even imagine how mad I'd be if I did that at Disney! But I guess your body needed the rest, so maybe it was a good thing after all?

AWWWW MARISSA, I love the interaction with the little one on the bus. Kids are the best. I LOL'd at "the nice girl" reference too.

EVEREST!!!!!!! Yeah, I kinda like it too. So glad you got to do front row. So many people think that front on coasters is the best, but I argue that it is not. Back is best... EXCEPT on Everest. OMG, when there "doesn't seem to be any track" and you get to look out over Disney... it's just the best. PLUS you get whipped around like cra-cra on the reverse part. Super awesome.

Four in a row... I accept!

Too early for cupcakes???? C'mon Disney!!

So great that you got a Donald re-do!!

 

[amazingact21]

Wow, 4 times on Expedition Everest sounds amazing! The best I've done is 3.
I do love mornings at Animal Kingdom, especially with the single rider line on EE. I guess because most people gravitate towards MK and Epcot, that park isn't as swamped as it could be. Plenty of opportunity to get your thrill ride fix!

I'm happy you were able to get a better picture with Donald that morning. And that he approved the photo!
