I'M JUST SHOWBOATIN' AROUND THE WORLD! & getting pooped on. Jan 13 TR! NEW TR POSTED!

[pegrad1]

OH-MY-GOSH!! This is seriously HILARIOUS! Dare I say you and I seem insanely alike! In my case my friends say, "Is there no limit to what you will do to get a laugh?" Admittedly, there is a rather fine line that I often times push to the limit. I've been on the dis since about August (?) and have been getting more comfortable commenting and as I've been catching up on your thread I keep coming up with a gazillion things I want to say!
You for sure have my attention! I am so addicted that I brought my kindle to work only to find out that I had to sign up for wireless to get access. A word we both use...LAMO! I never did b/c I figured I would never find time to use wireless at work!! I would actually have womp-wompped on that one, but that is so yours! LOL!
I have been sitting here in the living room laughing out loud here and there & my boyfriend keeps saying, "whats so funny?" The Anniversary, the "not-so-stripper" pole....I could not contain myself! I was dyin' over here!
SO, Keep up the most amazing writing! Your story makes me feel like one of my favorite people is telling me all about their trip, right here & in person! I'm appreciating the entertainment and it is completely gearing me up & getting me stoked for our upcoming trip!
YOU ARE FABUUULLLOOUUSSS!!

What an awesome little care package! That candle must be amazing!

I will spot character training one day, and it will be magical! Too bad they closed the doors because I want to see who's inside.
Called it! Love that strawberry shortcake!
Poncho pics are the best! Amy does look so sad, haha. Bruce's blue steel kind of distracts me from your poncho.

I don't think I would be able to pay attention if I was hearing German in the background and Bruce translating, haha. Poor Amy had her first SE experience messed up. Epic faces as usual!

MONORAIL TIME! I definitely have the monorail anouncement on my phone too. The BF story is too funny because that is totally something that would happen to me with one of my non-Disney friends.
1. MK time, baby! Livin' it up! I am such a good guesser.
2. I want to hang out with y'all! Bruce looks just like the little kids on the monorail that throw tantrums, haha.

Mickey Waffle scented Candle? Might just be the best idea ever!!

I think every room in my home should smell of Mickey Waffles!!

 

[danimaroo]

Dani, I have to tell you this even though you're either going to get a kick out of it too, or think I'm really crazy...but, since I've been watching Biggest Loser, I'm rooting for the girl on there also named Danni (but obviously spelled different). Well, now everytime I watch and am cheering her on in a challenge, I'm now find myself saying "Go Danni Maroo!!"

I HAVE to try Sunshine Seasons soon...I've seen it mentioned in so many TR's--especially that Strawberry Shortcake. If it tastes anywhere as close to as good as it looks then I'm in for a treat!!!

I totally cracked up at the ringtone snafu...that's hilarious! I too, have my hubby's ringtone set for the same thing!! Too cool, we are!!

Hahahaha, that is hilarious! Danimaroo is a little nickname that Matt calls me, and it just kind of stuck. But I can just picture you yelling at your TV cheering her on!

Sunshine Seasons is great! They have such an awesome choice of desserts there, and a large amount of dining options, something for everyone.. but that Strawberry Shortcake is the real star for me! It's so so good! A must try!

Hahaha, if only you could have seen the look on Amy's face. It was so perfectly timed and hilarious.

That is so ridiculously sweet!!

But the burning question becomes, where can I get one of those Mickey waffle candles?!?!?!?

I know, right?! I have some of the best friends!

Jenn posted a link below I believe! I need to get me more of this lady's candles because they're delightful!

I love the pics in your TR...

Thank you very much!

Okay, evidently I was commenting to your last post while you were making this one!

That strawberry shortcake looks like HEAVEN.

The monorail voice story was too freaking funny! I don't even know what I would do in that situation as Amy, even though I would recognize it from the monorail. I would think you had monorail voice guy in the back of your vehicle working security or something!!!

Wow, you guys really are unlucky with the rain, aren't you?! I hate walking around in ponchos in WDW, but it beats being at home I guess!

Haha I was hoping you'd see that I updated again!! Glad you did!

That shortcake IS heaven! I love it so much. I wish I could eat some right now.

Hahaha, Amy was just so thrown off by it she froze in her place. It was so loud on the car's speakers that I would have been alarmed, too!

Yeah, we are unlucky. BUT fortunately that was the only rain we saw on our trip, which is how it basically always is when we go to WDW! I don't mind ponchos that much just because for me, I've ALWAYS had to wear them in Disney so they've become part of my Disney experience. At least the rain clears out the parks!

Hey, that's a post about ME!!!

Seriously, we love you people. You brighten our days all the time, so the least we could do was brighten yours. And even then, knowing you enjoyed it made us happy, too! That is a Win-Win situation right there!

I can't wait to meet up and have no shame with you. All about it.

And for those wondering, the candle came from an etsy shop. I wanted to get the Beach Club scent, but she sold out the day before. WOMPWOMP! Still, pretty good for a second choice. She has random scents all the time. Right now, I think she's just listing big combo packages, but when I ordered there were lots of single scents available. It's just what she has in stock.

Again, you guys deserve every bit of pixie dust you get!

YES, yes it is! Sorry, but it was just such an amazing surprise, so again, thank you from the bottom of my heart! You're a wonderful friend.

Hahaha, it's just how we roll. No shame like it ain't no thang.

I hope she gets the Beach Club scent back in because I WILL BUY IT! I am going to keep my eye out!

Thanks again, lady.

Hahahah I wasn't sure if anyone would read that comment, I'm glad you thought it was funny.

I love your side story about Amy and the warning she hears over your car speakers, very funny , it made me laugh out loud. You are a joyous group of people, and this makes reading your adventures thoroughly entertaining! I look forward to your next update.

Hahaha, I was dying! It still cracks me up!

And thank you, I'm glad my joy and happiness for Disney makes these adventures entertaining! I love sharing them with you guys!

Aw ... how wonderful you got a present in the mail from a Disser !! That would have totally made my day.

Funny things:

SE in German
You and Matts funny faces on SE
Bruce Photobombing you
You and Matt's funny faces on the monorail
Bruce pole dancing on the monorail.

You guys make me laugh. Thanks for that. Looking forward to more

It really did make my day! Such an awesome friend to have.

Hahaha, ya know, when you point it out, there were a lot of hilarious things happening that day! We're just kind of ridiculous but I love making people laugh, so I'm all for it!

 

[danimaroo]

It really is strange that it rains on your trips so much! Why is that a thing for yall?

HAHAHA, Spaceship Earth in German. That's a new one. (Well, maybe not for the Germans.)

That Black Friday story is HILARIOUS. I can totally picture some helpless person who didn't know what it was just freaking the heck out. HAHAHA.

I have no idea! But it's just weird. The good news is, this was the only day we experienced rain, so I was okay with it!

Hahaha, yeah, I have no idea. Bruce was just being a goober and decided to press it. Poor Amy. To be fair, I don't think Bruce realized that the whole thing was a narration since it'd been many years since he'd been on Spaceship Earth.

It was too funny. She just stood there staring at me like, "Oh no what did I do?!" I was laughing so hard.

Oh, yum and drool. I want that strawberry shortcake. Now. So good. Like ridiculous. The end.

Oh silly monorail rides, you always delight me!

Nom, me too. I wish I could just make one appear in front of me.. now.

Hahaha, silly monorail rides are just the best, for obvious reasons.

What a wonderful surprise from a DISer! I seriously love this community here

Yum, that sandwich at Sunshine Seasons looks really good. My husband and I always get the same dishes each time (Togarashi tuna noodle salad for him and the beets and goat cheese salad for me) that we go straight there and don't even look elsewhere. I wonder if we're missing out, but at the same time, we'd probably be upset if we didn't get to eat the one dish that we both love and crave!

I know, right? It just came on the perfect day for something like and reminded me of how lucky I am to meet such amazing people here!

Oh I TOTALLY get what you mean. I'm the same way! I always consider getting something else there but end up going with my turkey sandwich because I know how much I love it! It's hard when you have certain things you just love to get in Disney, so I totally understand it! I think I got Chinese last year at Sunshine Seasons once and I was sad it wasn't the turkey sandwich, haha.

WHAT IS THAT WEIRD OPENING BETWEEN CANADA AND ENGLAND?! I saw it open on my last trip too and my curiosity was very piqued. What is that blue facade? What are all those people doing?

OH MAN I love that Monorail Voice Guy has invaded your iPhone and car. That is marvelous.

Bruce seems fun. I may or may not be able to relate to his losing of his mind and acting crazy on the monorail.

I think I figured out it was a character training area! But it was weird because they closed the doors to everyone and the people were still behind there! Like, where did they go after they were done meeting characters? And there were some great harder to find characters back there!

Hahaha, yes he has. He has invaded my life and I'm not complaining about it one bit!

Bruce IS fun! He will sometimes be pretty series or whatever but then will have random outbursts like his monorail meltdown and just.. well, you can see what happens. It's kind of awesome and because it's out of nowhere, it always makes everyone die laughing.

OH-MY-GOSH!! This is seriously HILARIOUS! Dare I say you and I seem insanely alike! In my case my friends say, "Is there no limit to what you will do to get a laugh?"

YOU ARE FABUUULLLOOUUSSS!!

That is kind of amazing! I'm glad you've decided to comment because I love when people come out of lurkdom and start commenting and saying hello! It's kind of awesome.

Hahaha I love the Kindle story, and I have to admit I feel honored that you love my TR enough to want to read it at work on your Kindle! That is definitely a wompwomp moment though!

Haha we had some ridiculous moments on this trip that just cracked us up. We're goobers though, so I guess it's kind of bound to happen!

Thank you, comments like yours makes all of the time and effort I put into my TRs so so worth it! I'm glad it's also making you super excited for your trip! I can't wait to plan our next one (which shouldn't be too far out! ).

What an awesome little care package! That candle must be amazing!

I will spot character training one day, and it will be magical! Too bad they closed the doors because I want to see who's inside.

2. I want to hang out with y'all! Bruce looks just like the little kids on the monorail that throw tantrums, haha.

Yes, it was so nice!

I was sad I missed out on the characters because it looked like an awesome bunch of random ones! That being said, spoiler alert, I stumble on some characters in training numerous times on this trip and got to meet some fabulous ones with no lines!

Haha you totally called it! You just know me too dang well.

Bahaha I think Amy was making that face on purpose just because we're ridiculous like that. Bruce is totally throwing down his best Blue Steel and you're right, it's fab.

It was slightly distracting! I just felt bad because I don't think Bruce realized there was an entire narration to it so then he felt bad he ruined it for Amy. I thought it was hilarious.

I can't even get over that BF thing. The look on Amy's face was priceless.

1. YUP YOU'RE JUST PRO! You know we wouldn't skip out on MK on our first day!
2. Can we just hang out right now?! Is that too much to ask?! I miss you.

Mickey Waffle scented Candle? Might just be the best idea ever!!

I think every room in my home should smell of Mickey Waffles!!

Yes and it smells so good! Who doesn't love a little Mickey Waffle in their life, right?!

And I agree, all rooms should smell like Mickey Waffles!

 

[danimaroo]

BREAKING NEWS!!!

So, this weekend, on Saturday, I sat myself down and started working on my video for this trip while Matt and Bruce played their Warhammer game.

The plan was that I'd get another few minutes of the video done and spend maybe an hour working on it... well, 6 hours later, and I actually finished the entire thing.

That's right, the trip video (all 11 awesome minutes of it) is completely done!

I understand we are only one Day Two (out of TEN days!) of this TR, but I can't NOT share this with you guys. If you'd rather not be spoiled on some of what we do on our trip, then feel free to watch it at a later time if that's your thing! I'll be sure to keep a link to the video in my signature!

With that being said, I would LOVELOVELOVE it if you would watch this video. I put in many hours into perfecting this thing and well... I have to be honest, I think it came out absolutely awesome. I don't really say that often about my stuff but this video? This video I'm super proud of. It's 11 minutes long, but I promise it'll make you laugh and hopefully captures the magic of Disney World that you've all experienced on your own trips.

Plus, I think it gives you even a better view as to who we are and how we experience Disney World.

Oh, I'd HIGHLY suggest watching it with the music on because it really makes the video that much better. For any of you who have seen the amazing movie Beasts of the Southern Wild, I think you will enjoy this.

EDIT: I've now uploaded it to Vimeo so you can watch it either on your iPad, computer, OR iPhone!!

Without further ado, I present, our January 2013 Disney World Trip video, appropriately titled,

"Adults are only kids grown up, anyway." Our January 2013 Disney World Trip Video!

Please let me know if you do watch it, as I'd love to hear your thoughts! I truly hope you enjoy it.

[beachphotog]

Listen, I already told you how much I loved this on the Twitter... but seriously Dani, it is amazing. I think you did such a fantastic job on it and I just love being able to see Dis people having an amazing time and learning a little more about who they are!

 

[cheekypoppins]

ahahaha I love that anniversary story I'm sure my hubby woulda reacted the same,actually he probly woulda hammed it up a bit Lol.
I have to agree sally's tr is Epic!
Oh I love sending disney mail to friends so fun!
OH MY HOMER DROOL!!!!! Disney Strawberry Shortcake is better than anyother .AGGGGHHHH best ring tone ever!!!!
Oh I love your jessie ears I need those!
Loved your vid great job,and i'm sorta jealous cause i have no technical skill whatsoever.

 

[__disneygirl]

OH MY GOD!! I love this so much! I just posted it on Twitter so all my followers can see. IT'S MAGICAL! You're camera is amazing, first of all, oh my God I wish I could get quality footage like this. Secondly, you and Matt are even cuter in motion. LOL. I love the whole feel of the video and the music! It all made me so emotional! You could just see on all your faces how much it means to you, I really couldn't help but cry because I know exactly how you feel. aaaaaaaahhhhhhh

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

LOVED it!!!! It made me LAUGH, TEAR UP, SMILE, and feel like I was right there! ...it was perfect!!! Margaritas and Maracas, my favorite part...oh and Matt "showboating"!

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Loved your video!!! Great job!!!

 

[Nermel9]

OMG! I just went through all of your updates, trying to get caught up on your TR, wrote these ridiculously long comments, and somehow closed the stupid window I was using, so now it's gone! AHHHH!

Well, I read every update, and I'm caught up! I'm going to try to remember a few things...

The Beach Club! I love it! I loved seeing all of your pictures, it's such a perfect place, I really feel like I'm home when I'm there (and at Wilderness Lodge!) I like trying new places, but I just cannot stay away from BC and WL!

Isn't walking into Epcot the BEST feeling ever? There really are no words! I love using the IG too, it's like your own private entrance!

I kind of feel the same way about new Test Track...like, it's good, it's fun, but why did the bother changing it, it was fun the way it was, and it made sense! I feel like this new version makes NO sense! Ahh well, I only go on it for the outside part anyway!

I can't believe they play LOTR music in the Norway church!! How have I never been in there??? I think I'd die of happiness hearing LOTR music in Disney World...they're probably my 2 favorite things in life! (Well, 2 out of 3, my third being Christmas! )

I just don't get School Bread! I tried it once and I didn't like it, I thought it was dry and just not good! Maybe I got a bad batch or something? I don't know, but it looks SO good, and I love coconut, so maybe I'll try it again! Everyone seems to love it, I'm beginning to wonder if there's something wrong with me?

Mmm, strawberry shortcake from Sunshine Seasons though, I could eat every day of my life! I LOVE The Land! That whole pavilion is just wonderful!

Awww, Disney CM's saying Happy Anniversary to Matt and Bruce is just too sweet! Little things like this make me love Disney SO much more than I already to!

OMG! I died when I read that whole "Please Stand Clear of the Doors" story!!! Love it! That's my text tone, I have "Legacy" as my ringtone...whenever people hear my monorail text thing, I get weird looks, it would be nice if ONE person would recognize it!

Haha, OMG I love the monorail meltdown! You guys just look like you're having the best time ever!

And your video! I LOVED IT!!! Makes me want to attempt to make a video on my next trip, but I have no idea how to even do it, and I don't think it would be as fun with just 2 people! You are so lucky to have friends to go to Disney with, Brandon and I have NO Disney friends! Yeah, we have people occasionally say "we should go to Disney together" once in a while, but then when we seriously ask them, they can't be bothered! NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE MISSING OUT ON!!! It's so much better than lying on a beach or something! Ugh!

So yes, I loved your video, it was perfect! I hope everyone on the DIS gets to see it, because it truly epitomizes the happiness you feel during a Disney trip!

 

[Fantasyland Mom]

You know we love it!! ALL of us!

Ten thumbs up!

Brynn saw the IASW part and remembered y'all took a picture for her! And Julia cracked up at your sombrero antics!

Totally get it about the copyright thing. It stinks because I know so many more people would watch our video if it could play on mobile devices! Ours does play on mobile on Vimeo, and we only have a free account, though. However, it won't play on our xbox? Totally confused. We did find that if you download the McTube app instead of the YouTube app, it will play on mobile! WEIRD!

 

[jecskc]

OMG !! That video was a whole bunch of awesomesauce !! Love, love, LOVED it !!!

Can you tell me how you made it ?? I mean what program did you use ?? Seriously amazing !!

 

[vicceja]

Love your video Looks like you guys had an awesome time. Can't wait to go back home with my family

 

[onelilspark]

Love the video! It makes me want to learn iMovie

 

[gardengirl2790]

Yeah, I was able to watch it on my iPad! Great video of your trip. It was really sweet! It would be a perfect promo. for Disney to use. It makes me want to go back to WDW.

 

[kimbo0569]

OMG!!!! I love that video! Fantastic job!

I have to ask you, what songs did you use and who are they by? I especially love the first and last one! Can't wait to read more of your TR!

 

[4everDisney]

Hi Dani,


Loved, Loved, Loved the video! You really did an awesome job on it. Made me laugh and tear up a little! I love reading your trip reports and the video just made me feel like I was there too! You guys are so awesome together...you are very lucky to find a man who likes Disney as much as you do! Can't wait to read more of your trip report. I just finished reading your Disneyland trip report and loved it. We are going there this summer...can't wait!

We just finished watching your video on the iPad and it worked great. You did an awesome job and now we are even more excited about our September trip if that's possible .
