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

[__disneygirl]

I'm all caught up now! I had to catch up on all my fave TRs before my trip! Your Dinosaur ride picture is flawless and belongs in the Disney Ride Picture Hall of Fame. Also you and Matt enjoying life on Everest is wonderful... I really need to step up my ride picture game, this much is clear.

Your Woody & Buzz hats are the stuff of DREAMS! I know I have said this to you several times but you are like the cutest couple ever! Also Matt in your sunglasses made me question whether or not he has an undiscovered talent for modeling? New career, anyone?

I can't even describe how UTTERLY AMAZING your photos are! I have camera envy!

YOU'RE STAYING AT THE GRAND CALIFORNIAN. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD.

How hot is the Jalapeno cheese inside the pretzel? I like spicy things but hmmm I don't know. That's one of those things I've always heard about but never tried! Maybe I will next week.

I love Chefs de France so much too. I can not wait to go back there! I am also DYING to try Les Halles!! Every single thing sounds and looks so ridiculously delicious. I. Can't.

Omg the pics of you and Matt in front of the French fountain. Are you for real? Can you stop being cute for like a day so the rest of the world can catch up like even a little? Sheesh.

"I just got crapped on by a seagull" oh my god. hahahahaha that happened to me at the zoo once. It wasn't a seagull, I'm not quite sure who the culprit was. It was IN MY HAIR and on my back. So that was lovely. Everyone told me it was good luck! I did go to Disney World the next month... so I guess they were right

Aww, Goofy was so excited about your headband! I love it.

Crocs with socks!!!!!!!!! YOU GO GIRL

Ah, Beaches & Cream! YOU GO TO ALL THE BEST PLACES. THIS IS MAKING ME EVEN MORE EXCITED.

I'm so happy you've enjoyed my MNSSHP updates so much. Both of your trips are going to be AMAZING!!!!

UGgghhh that CM. Jealousy is a disgusting thing. Even if you were getting into debt by buying that stuff, she still had no right to treat you that way. What concern of that is hers? Live and let live I say.

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

How cool would it be if you could see World of Color from your room??? That sounds awesome!!

Ugh, whatever - HATERS GONNA HATE!!! You go rock your gorgeous new Dooney!!!

No photos on GMR?? Must be a new rule

 

[stimmons]

Congrats on the new Trip!!! Yayyyy!!!!

Also, I read that last part about "Living it Up", picturing Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake doing the Barry Gibb Talk Show skit from SNL. AHAHAHA!!! Sooo stinkin funny!

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Wow, both trips look sooooooo great. They really really really need to bring World of Color to WDW some way, some how.

Suck a shocker you got the Gangster scene. Seriously, do they only run the cowboy scene once out of every hundred or something?!

I think the Star Tours Wookie area is the BEST!! OMG I laughed so hard during it.

Maybe it's a DHS thing, but I recently had issues with CM's there as well.But seriously, does ANYBODY dress up to go the parks? I really dislike holier-than-than types. Glad you could shake it off.

Awwww "Livin' It Up" I cannot get it out of my head!!!

 

[Jennifer48]

I can't wait to read all about your upcoming trips! *Fingers crossed* that you get a World of Color view room!

Haters gonna hate!

 

[littlemissjess]

Oh my gosh I am cross for you because of that rude CM! Would have been the perfect time for a "are you Dani from the DIS?" moment right there so she could suck a lemon! A.LEMON.

It's one of my pet hates because I forgot to stop looking like a teenager, and often get followed around shops/treated like a ruffian. I have started writing letters! The last place it happened made the guy apologise face to face and give me flowers! So if haters gonna hate they best be buying you apology flowers! Tee hee

But hooray for future MNSSHP! It is just the best. I can't wait to see your costumes... I really hope you and Matt match! It would make my life just a little bit.

 

[dmoore718]

I'm just catching up!!! First of All....Hoverounds!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahahahahaha!

Everytime I saw them during our trip, I thought of you!! LOL
Loving it!

 

[katt789]

Okay, first off, if there’s a meet up in Sept involving the kitchen sink, I am SO DOWN. Bahaha. My Mom would never go for it, and there only being three of us that just isn’t enough people!

WORLD OF COLOUR VIEW FROM YOU ROOOOOOMMMM?!?!!?!?!?!
I AM DYING
SO JEALOUS

WOC is hands down my favorite nighttime show, I don’t think I’ve actually ever cried that hard, ugh, DLR just has better fireworks too, UGH, my feels.

UGH! MNSSHP!! Lia’s updates have been KILLING me, and I’m pretty sure I’ve watched her video a million times! I’m so incredibly excited for the party!

Such pretty pictures!! Love that area at night! And DHS, there’s so much awesomeness!

Boourns to the sour CM, those people are just not cool, especially at Disney!

Ahahaha Paige and I were the exact same during the alien scene, heads down, holding on to each other, and eyes closed, just NOPE. Looks like another great day at Disney! One of these days I’ll get myself a dooney and burke bag, but it’s not gonna be for a while, bahaha.

Excited to read more, and to hear more about your Sept trip! I know that it’s looking like all of us (Courntey, Jen and us] will be at the same MNSSHP, so we definitely need to grab some trick or treating or meet and greets/dance parties together!!

 

[MotoWifey185]

Joining in a little late but I just got done reading your last report (the one with just you and your hubby) and loved it so I decided to start this one as well! I read the other one first because next January will be my hubby and my first trip to WDW so I wanted to read one with just the two of you so I can relate a bit more. If that makes any sense. I have not caught all the way up yet with this one. I like your TR style, very informative and detailed and I've especially learned a lot about which restaurants we have to try and I am dying to try that pizza you had with the truffle oil at Via Napoli.

So funny that you ended up in the same room as your last trip, what are the odds! The Beach Club looks like an amazing resort.

We are happy to be going in January. It looks like a really nice time of year to visit!

 

[jane2073]

You really do have the best attitude when it comes to rude people. I need to be more like you!
Picturing you both huddling and looking down during Aliens makes me giggle!
We make up song about what is going on to the tune of other songs all the time. Totally normal!

I am another person who loves onion rings but not onions!

 

[Harters2WDW]

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.

Continued in next post​

Still reading the TR. I just wanted to say I love the video!! It is just the type of feeling I want to capture on video when we go next month. It's a great mix of fun, silly, emotional, slice of life, character greets, atmosphere and rides! Great job!!

 

[marDgreen88]

YAY for your upcoming trips! Okay, for some reason I think that your costume will be UP related. I don't know. Probably not. We'll see!

Love that bag! Brush them haters off.

I agree, the GMR area is so gorgeous. I never really minded the hat until I saw a picture of what it used to like without it. But I also actually do like the hat. Conflicted.

 

[Fantasyland Mom]

The China pavilion is spectacular. I think that and the inside of the pyramid in Mexico has to be the top for looks.

I too chucked on the crocks this past trip... no socks though. Believe me though, the socks with crocs look is IN NO WAY bad compared to some of the ridiculous outfits seen at Disney. Not even close.

I have to add the following photo just for you from my recent trip on Dinosaur since I LOVED your ride photo so much. Hopefully you can read it (I tried enhancing it) as it didn't come out as well as I'd hoped. Please excuse my insane look as I think I was focused on holding the paper.

THIS IS AWESOME!! I want a personalized Disney greeting! What a great Dis friend!

 

[Fantasyland Mom]

I really do hope you'll teach our girls (or at least Julia...Brynn will do it but not understand) about Vinyls and pins! They are at the age where that is starting to look really interesting to them.

I also hope that Matt will chill with us at Epcot while you do the Vinyl event. We really don't have exact plans there that morning...just kind of do Future World and take it easy. You know we go with the flow, pretty much. Maybe that would be a good time for him to battle Julia on the DS. Does Matt like all the rides in Future World, or are there ones he avoids?

I cannot wait to explore the Boardwalk area. Can you believe we've never looked around there!?

We're those people taking pictures. We were in the front row and Brandon was just snapping away, and you saw the guide pose for the camera...so surely it's allowed?

We are also those people hiding from Alien. Because...just...NO. I hate things that pop out. And aliens. And steam. Just no. I'm five, too.

I LOVE MATT'S WATCH! I also love your Dooney, but that goes without saying! I haven't bitten the bullet and bought one YET, but it's going to happen.

Glad Amy was starting to feel better! Hope that means good things to come.

This trip is getting so close. And when I am bummed about our resort change, I just think about the fact that you guys will be there having fun with us, and it cheers me right up!

I'm planning to come track you guys down after I get us all checked in at Beach Club (assuming you guys don't mind, haha). And I will definitely have my DS along!

I'm a fan of most of the rides, buuuut I may skip out on Mission Space. I've never been on it, but I don't tend to be a big fan of really small enclosed spaces with lots of movement. I don't usually get motion sickness, but I'm worried that will be the one ride that'll get to me. I may change my mind this trip though! I'm a fan of pretty much everything at Epcot

I can't wait!

 

[pirateprincess1976]

I love your new Dooney! So cute! I love how each print is slightly different and it's so exciting when you find the right one. I have the blue sketch wristlet and they let me look through every one and when I found the one with the full picture of Tinkerbell, the castle and a mickey ice cream bar I knew it was mine
Yay on getting your tickets for MNSSHP. I love it! So much fun! I can't wait to go . Looks like I'll be there the same week as you guys, I'll have to keep my eye out for you and say hi if I see you.

 

[roxy72]

I'd love to see a picture of you modeling your new Dooney bag! I didn't know that they make a Haunted Mansion one, so far I've only seen Mickey heads patterns and other stuff that doesn't appeal to me as much.

 

[407-W-DISNEY]

You sooo should have said "haters gonna hate" as you walked out!! But you're very sweet!
That saying is true..it is awful how people judge each other...and its really sad....and especially from a Disney CM!!!

 

[smile4stamps]

Sourpuss CM's are no good. I've never heard of no pics on most rides as long as you don't use flash.

WOC view would be awesome! If it is a good view that is! If its just so/so depending on the weather I might want to see it up front and personal. I love WoC. I think I have seen it more than any other Disney night time show.

I think I would have enjoyed MNSHHP more if it hadn't been such a humid night and I had Disney loving company. I can't wait to hear about your costume!

 

[Aurora1972]

Finally getting caught up. I had to take a break from the Dis to finish my capstone for me BA. I'm all done now and am back to reading. I can't believe you got pooped on for real! But that drink looked super yummy! I now have way too many food/drinks to try next time!
