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

[DisneyKid4Life]

NINE EE FP'S = A very jealous me! A VERY jealous me!

Great info on ther PP+. Thank you for that.

On behalf of all Canadian's, my apologies to Matt.

I am seriously in love with that photo of Everest reflected in the water. It's so like getting the Cinderella Castle in the water shot... but way rarer. Truly beautiful.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

You can imagine me dancing like this around the table (in my mind anyway):

.....I probably just laughed at 10 minutes straight for that. Pure gold. I am still laughing.

 

[LisaAnn06]

OMG! I love that haters gonna hate gif!

Expedition Everest looks so much fun! And beautiful at night. Can't wait to ride it on my trip!

And major on the 9 FPs!

 

[rachel09985]

Your trip report is cracking me up!

We seem so similar! I know the feeling before you step foot into the MK. I got so excited that I simultaneously want to scream/cry/laugh/pee my pants/and start dancing! Haha that is excitement right there!!

also, I get in bad pain at Disney too. My feet end up hurting so bad that it is like impossible to walk. I know the feeling of moving so slow at the end of the day because you are in pain. I will have to try that Johnson's stuff. I am heading there in two weeks and I am worried about my feet. I want to get some comfy supportive shoes but I don't know what to get.

Your ride pic analysis of Tower of Terror was hilarious. I can't wait to read more.

 

[cheekypoppins]

Canadians crazy ? are you sure? LOL (looks around ever so innocently) NOT!!!!! we can't help it we're bred that way especially us French Canadians!

 

[DharmaLou]

That cookie. THAT COOKIE.

That cookie.

 

[GrimGrinningStitch]

NINE?! "Nine times?" "Nine times" <-- Name one of my all time fave movies, go!

The Ferris Bueller reference just confirms why we're friends. I may have been sure I was Cameron Frye when I was younger.

Also, just to clarify, the crazy canadian man was making really terrible jokes, and kept on screaming his son's name (I will always remember his name was Jonah), so I had no idea how to respond. Hence my nervous, awkward laughter.

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Wow, 9 FP's??? You guys were decked out in pixie dust that evening!!!

AK really does look gorgeous in the evenings - are all of the rides still open during EMH, or is it just non-animal rides like EE?

LOVE your "haters gonna hate" GIF! That table was totally rightfully yours!! Good for you for getting it!

Hopefully Bruce was feeling better the next day!!

 

[danimaroo]

9 Fastpasses!! I probably would have passed out. Don't you love being married to a man that you can laugh hysterically with Brian finds the most random things funny and then gets me going until I'm pretty sure I'm gonna pass out from lack of oxygen.

Yeah, it WAS awesome!

And yes, I totally love it. Laughing so hard that you're crying, can't breathe, and your face hurts is kind of the best thing ever.

UGH! Those birds are terrifying! Thanks for collecting them all in one picture for me.

Aahahahahahaa I apologize, I am that person who jumps and rings the bell in the EE queue, prompting every child to want to do it to. I did it one day while jumping and smacked it a little too hard right by my friends ear….not so great…

9 fp for EE?!?! AWESOME!! Awesome ride photos! Too bad about the cm thinking you hadn’t paid for it, ugh! AK at night is so pretty!! I’m so jealous you guys got to see it, I can’t wait until a day comes that I’ll get to see everything all lit up!

Bahahah, good gif usage there….glad you got a table! Aw man, those laughing fits are the greatest! Paige and I had one when we found Perry the Platypus whoopee cushions in a gift shop, like, he’s derpy enough as is, add in the hilarious farts, and it’s just priceless at the end of a long day at Disney!

Bahaha, no problem!

NOOOO you are not that person! Hahaha. I am okay with a little bong, but when it's slammed hard, it gives me the worst headache in mankind. I often pray that we won't be stuck near that part of the queue, haha.

Yeah, that WAS awesome! But the whole PP+ thing was definitely a pain to figure out, blergh. AK at night is gorgeous though, I'm happy we were able to experience it!

Hahaha thanks. It seemed fitting for that moment, because I nearly yelled out HATERS GONNA HATE! I would probably laugh really hard forever at that, too/ It's the best.

Wow, NINE FPs! That's amazing! The most I've ever been given is 7... which is obviously a whole lot but NINE! Crazy!

OMG, in yall's Everest senior picture, HOW are both of the kids with their parents doing the exact same pose as each other?! What are the chances?

LOOOOVE all the AK at night pictures! SO freaking gorgeous. It's open till 7 and 8 most of the nights I'll be there in May/June, but I know it stays light later in the day at that time of year. I'm hopeful that it'll be darker though so I can finally see it at night in person!!

HAHAHAHAH that little 'haters gonna hate' picture is too funny. I'm so glad you got the table. I mean, come on. If they KNEW you'd been waiting all that time, it was lame of them to even try to take it.

I love laughing fits like that. SO much fun.

I KNOW! It was insane. I mean, I was just happy with our original 4, but then the guy gave us the others and I nearly hugged that family!

HAHAHAHA I didn't even NOTICE that! That is way too funny! But I do like that the one Mom is just apparently sleeping!

OMG, I hope you can go AND I hope it's at least SOMEWHAT dark because it's amazing!!

Hahaha, it seemed appropriate because that's what I was totally thinking when I got it! I don't even care, I was clearly waiting for that table to open up and they knew it, so whatever.

We always experience one of those laughing fits at least ONCE during our trip, it just happens with exhaustion, I swear!

Speaking of carrot cake cookies...I happen to have one in my fridge right now! I chickened out at the opportunity to ride EE this trip...once again. I swear, next trip, I AM riding it no matter what!

Your nachos and churros look delicioso!

Oh, and can we talk about school bread for a second? While at the YES program workshop with my students, I had my husband go over to Norway and get us some school bread. Oh.My.Word. That was the BEST thing I had ever eaten in my entire life. I wish I had one right now, so good! It was all because of your TR that I even tried it, so thank you!

Tell me more about this foot soap. I've never heard of it! This trip was probably the trip with the least amount of foot problems. I rotated Sanuk flip flops, Sanuk sandals, and Nikes. My feet didn't hurt at all coming home, and I walked away with ZERO blisters. I think Sanuk flip flops are probably the best flip I've ever owned!

OMG I AM SO JEALOUS! I hope you ate the cookie and enjoyed the heck out of it. SO GOOD. And yes, do EE at least once! I promise you'll be happy to did it... or well, either you'll love it or hate it but one way or another, you'll at least know how you feel about it!

The nachos and churros were so good! I love eating there!

YAY! I'm so happy you tried it and loved it!! The DIS is where I first heard about it, so I guess you can always thank the DIS for that discovery! Haha.

OMG, it just makes your feet feel softer and relaxed. I don't know what it has in it but it's magical! Helps with the aches! I may have to check out a pair of Sanuk flip flops though to bring along next trip, they sound awesome! Which ones do you use? The Yoga Mat?

WOAH. You have some seriously good karma! Nine EE FastPasses?!?

It's a good thing that CM was nice enough to punch your PP+ card for you! My parents are using PP+ in a couple of weeks, so I'm going to make they know to double check that their card gets punched!

Worst senior picture pose ever! I mean, who actually holds their hands/arms like that in real life? And the lady sitting in front of Amy looks like she fell asleep.

Holy cow AK at night is so beautiful! I rarely see pictures of it like that, but wow!

It's good to have a table-lurker in your group! In my family, it's my sister who stalks the tables for us in crowded restaurants. There's definitely an art to it, and it usually involves a bag throw-down!

I know, right?! It was amazing and I was so happy/thankful that those nice people did that for us.

Yeah, thank goodness she did! What's weird is no one else prior to that had asked us about it.. She was the first CM to finally bring it up as an issue! But definitely let them know because I'm sure other CMs would have said something at some point!

Bahaha, weird people who lean their face against a tree maybe?! And yeah, I did not notice that lady just snoozing in front of Amy! HAHAHA.

You have to have a table-lurker! Otherwise you're not getting a table, haha. Bag-throwing and all!

Joining in! A little late to the game, but I just read all your posts and I am loving your TR and all your pics!

It just occured to me after reading your latest update that I have never been in AK at night. Everest must have been even cooler in the dark! AK at night must now be added to my Disney bucket list.

Looking forward to more updates!

Welcome!! You're not late at all! But thank you for joining and I'm so glad you're enjoying my TR so far!!

AK at night is unreal. It really was amazing and I HIGHLY suggest it! It's so rare that it's open late enough for the park to be lit up, but it's so beyond worth scheduling around it!

Hi! Stumbled upon your trip report and I'm joining in. Looks like you guys had a great time and you're super funny. I especially loved how you "went Boston" on the mean lady by the peoplemover. I thought that was hilarious, especially since I'm from Boston and I don't know how we got the reputation for being all mean. I think we're nice, we just don't let people bully us.

YAY! I'm so happy you've joined! Thank you for the super nice compliments, haha.

Oh yeah! I'm actually from Boston originally (I moved to Seattle when I was 20, but I grew up on the South Shore) so I still have a feisty side to me where I just won't put up with people! I mean, we're not MEAN, but like you said, we don't let people bully us. Matt is the one who came up with the "go Boston" on something thing, because if you get me upset, I will yell and my accent will come out.

Just wanted to say hi!

I totally missed this trip report but I remember you commenting on mine before your trip/on the plane i think.

I gotta get caught up! Gonna start reading now. I am looking forward to it! I am like you with the camera. I have a DSLR but still don't know exactly what I am doing yet so some pictures are great some are horrible.

YAY! Glad you're here! I definitely commented while we were flying! I'm sorry I haven't popped in again, this TR has left me swamped, but I have been reading along! I'm still jealous your work sent you to Orlando.. Maybe one day I'll get to fly down there for work.

I'm planning on spending more time reading about DSLRs just so I can really get more into it. I'm usually shooting on Aperture mode, which is I guess better than Auto all the time, but I still want to really learn my camera!

 

[danimaroo]

9 fast passes?! Holy moly! What a haul!

I love how much fun you and Matt seem to have together. The laughing, the joking, it's really precious! Seriously, if I'm ever lucky enough to get married, I hope to have a silly, fun relationship... Just saying...

I love AK at night, it's so pretty! I feel like they put on a little show with the understated lights and just let the ambiance speak for itself!

I KNOW! It was Pixie Dust galore!

Haha we are total goobers together but we have the best time! I hope so, too, because it's honestly a blast to be married with your best friend.

AK at night is really gorgeous! They put on such an awesome little show and it speaks for itself.

Bahahahahahaha.... LOVED your Haters Gonna Hate.gif I seriously laughed out loud. And this has been a sucky day ..... so thanks.

We have never been at AK in the dark before. Will have to try that. I love EE, it is my favorite coaster at WDW.

I hop Bruce was better the next day !!

HAHA I'm glad you liked it. When I found it I was dying laughing... Glad I could make your day a little better!

AK in the dark is amazing, and EE is even BETTER! I hope you get to try it at some point!

And yeah, fingers crossed for Bruce!

HOLY MOLY, LADY! NINE!!!!!!!!

I just don't have words. Just...none.

I knew there was going to be an issue with that FP+! Glad she had the authority (or did she?) to punch it for you.

I don't know how there will ever be a possibility for us to see AK all lit up since we go in September. We may just have to go a different month in the future (but obviously not this year), because it is absolutely beautiful! You know, I haven't really seen pictures of it lit up, and I guess I sort of assumed they didn't have elaborate lighting, but I was SO WRONG! Gorgeous!

I totally get that laughing so hard at nothing thing, and that whole having a husband who is your best friend thing. TOTALLY! But then again, you're our west coast twinsies, so that shouldn't come as a surprise.

I remember that foot soap from when I was dancing and had blisters from pointe shoes! I have no idea how I haven't remembered it for Disney purposes!! I am so bringing it this year. I already have the "no breathing while pouring" thing down pat, so no worries there.

I hope Bruce felt better soon!

I KNOW RIGHT?! It was awesome! I was left pretty much in shock, haha.

Yeaaah, it was unfortunate and now I know for next time! I don't know that she was supposed to do it for us, but she did!

You never know, they might extend the hours to later for AK! They randomly did it for January, so who knows?! But it's absolutely gorgeous.

Hahaha, yup, twinniiiiiies. Basically just how we roll!

That foot soap rules. I am bringing it again for September for sure!!

Yeah, fingers crossed for him, we'll seeeee what happens...

9 Fast Passes! That is a lot of pixie dust! Amazing... Those Carrot Cake look so good. I think I would rather try one of those than one of the cupcakes at Starring Rolls. My DH and I have laughed like that before. So much fun being silly together for no reason. Hope Bruce is feeling better and makes it back out to the parks tomorrow.

I know, it was truly awesome and I never thought that could happen! The Carrot Cake cookie is so so good, and beyond worth trying! I love my Red Velvet cupcake from Starring Rolls though, too... YUM.

I love being silly with Matt; he makes me laugh like no one else can!

Yeah, we were really hoping Bruce would bounce back that next day!

Seriously, your TR literally makes me laugh OUT LOUD, every single time! And that never happens! Usually if I "laugh", it's more like I blow more air outta my nose than usual LOL!
It's so refreshing!

Ps...I hope you don't mind all my comments, haha. I just NEED to share my love/appreciation for your TR!

Hahaha I'm so glad! Seriously, that makes me happy.

And oh my gosh, I LOVE your comments!! Seriously, comment away!

You all are utterly hilarious!!
The owl gif is the best!! I have totally been there!

Thanks, we're just dorks, hahaha. I'm glad you appreciate my Owl gif, too.

Holy moly, that bird photo is what nightmares are made of. I'm going to have to send it to Anna.
I would definitely want to live at Disney if I were a duck. It can't get much better than that.
50 minutes?! That's dedication. Single rider line all the way for me, haha.
I love line pictures, the progression of your expression from the first one to the second is awesome. Amy looks like a girl I went to high school with! I thought that earlier, but she looks just like her (except prettier) in that pic!
NINE?! "Nine times?" "Nine times" <-- Name one of my all time fave movies, go!
That's really awesome though! Amazing luck.
Make sure they hole punch it for me, check. Wait I thought they mail you the PP+ card and the CD voucher? So confused because I remember you picking it up at Epcot, but that was before I read up on it so now I'm lost.
We should totally get Matt and his Canadian friend some BFF keychains.
I love the night AK pics! Your pigtails are adorable by the way.
Mmmm, La Cantina. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. My boss, Meghan, was joking the other day that we all only go to WDW to eat. Brooke and I always talk about the restaurants and Meghan had no idea people were so crazy over the food down there!
I'm so glad you won the table.
Sounds like a good night in the room, being slightly delirious from exhaustion is always fun.

Bahahaha, Anna will be terrified. So mean!

Disney ducks really have the life.

Ugh yeah, we considered it but really wanted to all ride together that first time. That wait was kind of brutal!

Hahaha, we were happy at first but eventually just wanted to get on the darn ride! That's so funny that Amy looks like someone you went to school with.

Matt seriously geeked out over your Ferris Bueller reference. He is a HUGE fan of that movie and loves Cameron Frye.

So with PP+, you get a CD voucher, but you ALSO get this little paper voucher that you have to turn in to a Photo Center in one of the parks to pick up you PP+ card/lanyard. It's kind of a pain, but yeah, you actually get 2 separate vouchers.

Haha thanks, I stuck with pig tails or a braid the whole time because it was too hot to wear my hair down!

Oh, and I agree, they should soooo get BFF keychains!

That's because DISNEY FOOD IS THE BEST! Seriously, so good. I want some now.

Are you SERIOUS?!?!? WHO GETS NINE fastpasses handed to them at once?!?!? WHO Dani?!?!? It's like you are just walking-magic.

and I am GREEN with envy! Like this----> I wanted to stay SO badly on our last night when the lights came on, but Savannah just HAD to go to MK one last time. Seeing your night shots after it was totally dark nearly made me cry with jealousy! AH!!!!!!!!!!! MUST.SEE.AK.AT.NIGHT. Dusk isn't the same...must be NIGHT!! Ok, I'm a woman obsessed now, so you can expect some nighttime AK shots next February!

seriously. NINE fastpasses. NINE.

NOPE. Not over it yet. NINE...and nighttime at AK.

I KNOW RIGHT?! I couldn't even believe it. NINE!! It was out of control!

I thought of that when I read your post, I was like, "NOOOOOO DON'T LEEEAAAVE YEEEET!" Hahaha, but I totally get Savannah's point because I couldn't leave WDW without our last stop being MK, either! But hopefully next February you will see it!!

Bahahaha, I laughed so hard at your second comment. I didn't get over it for like, days!

 

[Malroy]

OMG The fast pass fairies! I would love to do that some day...I've never had an abundance of them though AK looks BEAUTIFUL all lit up..next time we must stay till close so I can see it! Beautiful photos girl!

 

[danimaroo]

Ok, so I'm totally in awe of your photos! I thought the first installment from AK couldn't be beat, but then I saw these! WOW! Those are some amazing shots, Dani! You are a great photographer! I love, love, love seeing EE and the Tree all lit up...absolutely gorgeous!

Ahhh...I love that y'all went to our favorite Epcot CS restaurant! We love it there, but haven't had a chance to try it since they re-did it so I was very surprised to see the Churros in rings?! They still look yummy as ever though!

And good for you for beating those silly girls two the table. I absolutely hate when someone does something like this--like you said, you had been standing there way longer! That kind of stuff really ticks me off!

Aww thank you SO much! That really means a lot to me.

It's so good, right?! I love those nachos! The churros were kind of in rings but tasted the exact same as before! I thought that was weird at first but then ate them and they were delightful.

Ugh yeah, I was just annoyed because they SAW me standing there right next to the table! Like what, did they think I was just standing there for no reason? But they lost out to me, soooo HATERS GONNA HATE!

Okay, I got a GOOD LAUGH out of your EE ride photos, first because the lady in front of you and Amy apparently found it so boring that she fell asleep, and second because Matt's awkward Canadian friend looks like he might possibly be having a stroke! In all seriousness though, that is pretty darn amazing that you were gifted with NINE Fastpasses for EE! And I don't think I have ever been in AK at night to see it lit up, so I really enjoyed those pictures.

Good job swooping in on that table! It's funny how people think they can just walk up and get something that it is OBVIOUS someone else has already been waiting for.

BAHAHA I laughed so hard at this because I didn't even look at the people on the ride in front of us but that lady is totally just snoozin'! HAHAHA. And OMG, that guy was out of control! I forgot to mention that Matt said the whole time he just kept screaming his son's name over and over "JONAAAAHHHHH! JONAAAAHHHH!" even though the kid is clearly covering his ears. I am dying over here.

It was amazing both for the FPs and seeing all of AK at night lit up! So awesome.

Yeah, people are insane, but I'm sorry, you're NOT taking my table! Hahaha.

NINE EE FP'S = A very jealous me! A VERY jealous me!

Great info on ther PP+. Thank you for that.

On behalf of all Canadian's, my apologies to Matt.

I am seriously in love with that photo of Everest reflected in the water. It's so like getting the Cinderella Castle in the water shot... but way rarer. Truly beautiful.

Yeah, I STILL can't even believe that happened. IS THIS REAL LIFE?!

No problem! I thought people might want to know so they don't get stuck being questioned.

Bahaha, it wasn't so much he was Canadian, he was just VERY enthusiastic and hyped up on life, hahahaha.

Thank you so much! It was an amazing sight to see, seriously. I could have sat there for an hour looking at it.

.....I probably just laughed at 10 minutes straight for that. Pure gold. I am still laughing.

HAHAHAHA I died when I found it. It was so perfect!

OMG! I love that haters gonna hate gif!

Expedition Everest looks so much fun! And beautiful at night. Can't wait to ride it on my trip!

And major on the 9 FPs!

Hahaha thanks!

EE is TONS of fun! And seriously amazing at night! You are going to LOVE it.

And yeah, major pixie dust being thrown our way that night! Too awesome!

Your trip report is cracking me up!

We seem so similar! I know the feeling before you step foot into the MK. I got so excited that I simultaneously want to scream/cry/laugh/pee my pants/and start dancing! Haha that is excitement right there!!

also, I get in bad pain at Disney too. My feet end up hurting so bad that it is like impossible to walk. I know the feeling of moving so slow at the end of the day because you are in pain. I will have to try that Johnson's stuff. I am heading there in two weeks and I am worried about my feet. I want to get some comfy supportive shoes but I don't know what to get.

Your ride pic analysis of Tower of Terror was hilarious. I can't wait to read more.

Haha, I'm glad it's cracking you up! It's been so fun to re-live that vacation!

OMG yeah, walking into MK the first time is so wonderful. I just can't help myself!!

Definitely give the foot soap a shot, it was helpful. What I found the BEST this trip, by far, was switching up my sneakers. By rotating through them, my feet never got too awful, and I definitely was able to avoid bad blisters, which I'd always experienced in the past! Crocs were actually really awesome and I will bring them again; I only experienced issues with them that first night. I'm also going to try to have iced water bottles to roll under my feet, I have heard that helps a lot!

Bahaha, OMG, there is a future attraction photo that I can't even wait to post. It's so beyond out of control hilarious that every time I open it up just to look at it, I laugh until I am in tears.

Canadians crazy ? are you sure? LOL (looks around ever so innocently) NOT!!!!! we can't help it we're bred that way especially us French Canadians!

Bahahaha, OMG that man was out of control hilarious! So so funny!

That cookie. THAT COOKIE.

That cookie.

YUP, THAT COOKIE IS RIGHT.

The Ferris Bueller reference just confirms why we're friends. I may have been sure I was Cameron Frye when I was younger.

Also, just to clarify, the crazy canadian man was making really terrible jokes, and kept on screaming his son's name (I will always remember his name was Jonah), so I had no idea how to respond. Hence my nervous, awkward laughter.

HAHAHA I wish you'd mentioned the Jonah thing again because I am still laughing at that part. That man screaming JONNAAAAAHHHHHHH!! over and over again while his son is covering his ears in terror.

Wow, 9 FP's??? You guys were decked out in pixie dust that evening!!!

AK really does look gorgeous in the evenings - are all of the rides still open during EMH, or is it just non-animal rides like EE?

LOVE your "haters gonna hate" GIF! That table was totally rightfully yours!! Good for you for getting it!

Hopefully Bruce was feeling better the next day!!

Yeah, it was insane. I couldn't believe it!!

AK is so beautiful at night! I think the safari is closed, but I imagine Dinoland is open still. I'm not sure since we only did EE. It actually wasn't even EMH, just the park was open til late that night! I wish they did still evening EMH!

Hahaha, yes it was, and I wanted to dance around it like Owl!

We were really hoping Bruce would start to feel better..

 

[danimaroo]

OMG The fast pass fairies! I would love to do that some day...I've never had an abundance of them though AK looks BEAUTIFUL all lit up..next time we must stay till close so I can see it! Beautiful photos girl!

Yeah, those FP fairies were loving us I guess! AK is so amazing all lit up. Usually it closes at 5pm, before it gets dark, but we lucked out with it staying open until 8 that night! It was amazing. And thank you!

 

[Mrs. Gumdrop]

What an amazing day! And poor poor Bruce that he had to miss it. I hope he bounces back shortly and is able to enjoy the rest of the trip.

I don't know about you, but I think walking up on the morning of your second day is an amazing feeling. You have settled in, but still have days of fun ahead of you. Heaven!

Also you have made me feel better to know my DH and I aren't the only ones would end our day aching and near limping. I used epsom salt last trip, but I will give Johnson's a try next time. Thanks for the rec.

This is why we are all long distance BFFs. Cameron is my favorite, Sam's roommate reminds me of him sometimes which is awesome.

That is definitely a pain, 14 days is how long in advance I'm supposed to order, right? I hope to get a 6th this week and then order it.

 

[arbolita]

I'm a little behind because of work, so be prepared for lots of comments!

BREAD PUDDING! (Does anything else really need to be said? Come on.)

Woah, I don't think I've ever seen AK that busy!

I'm laughing so hard at the gf in your EE story. If this has been a tv show, at the end of the ride she would have felt exhilarated by trying something that scared her. Nope. She just smacks her bf instead hahaha.

HOLY CRAP. That's a lot of EE Fast Passes! JACKPOT!

You know, I have never gotten one of the carrot cake cookies. I guess the only good thing about that is it means I need to put it on my list for next time, aka I need to go back to WDW!

Haha that is indeed awesome!

Yup, you have 14 days so you can make sure you give it enough time to receive the PP+ CD/voucher in the mail!

What an amazing day! And poor poor Bruce that he had to miss it. I hope he bounces back shortly and is able to enjoy the rest of the trip.

I don't know about you, but I think walking up on the morning of your second day is an amazing feeling. You have settled in, but still have days of fun ahead of you. Heaven!

Also you have made me feel better to know my DH and I aren't the only ones would end our day aching and near limping. I used epsom salt last trip, but I will give Johnson's a try next time. Thanks for the rec.

It was a really great day! But we felt sad without Bruce.

OMG, you are SO right about Day 2! It was technically our 3rd day, but really day 2 since our first day was mostly traveling. But yes, that second day is when you can finally start settling in. I'd even say Day THREE is best because by then, we've been to all of the parks so there is less pressure to make sure we're visiting as many as possible, you know what I mean?

And you are DEFINITELY not alone in the aches/pains. Disney means a lot of walking and a lot of being on your feet, and it's tiring! Swimming and being in the hot tub helps out a lot, as does the foot baths. Next trip will be different for us since we're going to basically be doing daily naps/swimming just due to the heat. I'm kind of wondering how it'll impact our bodies/the aches and pains. But yeah, give that foot soap a shot, it's great!

I'm a little behind because of work, so be prepared for lots of comments!

BREAD PUDDING! (Does anything else really need to be said? Come on.)

Oh no worries at all! I keep falling behind on people's TRs when work gets busy. Next week I'll be super busy with it being the beginning of the month, getting billing done, PLUS one of my co-workers is going on vacation. Wompwomp. Hopefully I can do some catching up tonight!

Nope, nothing needs to be said. BREAD PUDDING is all.

Yeah, it was BUMPIN'. And I was surprised for it being January! Crowds were WAY higher than ever before.

Bahaha, she was hilarious. She was just terrified! I'm bummed because I think I got our ride photo for that one but it didn't show up on our PP+ card, wompwomp.

The EE FP situations was INSANE. I couldn't and still CAN'T believe it!

Yup, you soooo need to get it! If you like Carrot Cake, do it up! They're huge and so good. And clearly a reason to return to WDW, of course.

Oh no worries at all! I keep falling behind on people's TRs when work gets busy. Next week I'll be super busy with it being the beginning of the month, getting billing done, PLUS one of my co-workers is going on vacation. Wompwomp. Hopefully I can do some catching up tonight!

Yeahhh. That's basically been my issue since November. Co-worker on my team has been out of the office since November, with no real clue as to when she may be back, so I have had NO downtime in the office trying to get both of our work done. Wommmmmmmmmmmmp.

Wow, so many FP's! Isn't EE at night the best? Like, you think that ride can't possibly be any better, and then you ride it at night! I'm always going to make a point to go to AK at night now!

Haha, love that you swiped the table at La Cantina! Sometimes you have to, it's ok! I love the nachos there, I don't think I've ever had the churros though, they look so good!!

Oh, I read your comment in my Nov. TR about how you're worried about the heat in September, and you were wondering what happened to me in May...I'll post you the links of the 2 chapters where I talk about my near death experience due to the heat. If you want to skip the first chapter, you can, it's just leading up to me almost dying. But it kind of sets the tone, you know?

The One with the Nice Morning

and

The One where I Almost Die...in Disney World!

I don't know how well you tolerate the heat, but I don't. At all. And it was exceptionally hot that day in May, it's not normally that hot and humid in May, so it was kind of a surprise. I knew I shouldn't have pushed myself like I did (and when I say push myself, all I mean is walking too much and not drinking enough water, not even anything extreme!) but I did it anyway! I also learned that trip that water just doesn't do it for me in that kind of heat, I need Gatorade or Powerade, so if any of this sounds like you, just take it slow in September and drink tons of sports drinks! And take breaks in the air conditioned buildings!
