Yay for getting to meet Dug and Russell from UP!!! How cute are they???
(Don't think I missed that "Bye, Bye, Bye" reference!! Even though I was a MUCH bigger BSB fan back in the day. Sorry!
)
Okay, I totally and completely understand what you mean about Disney pizza vs Jersey pizza! But I kind of regard Disney pizza in the level of frozen pizza, vs. real pizza!
They're precious!
At the time I preferred *NSYNC although I loved BSB too, but I think BSB songs stand the test of time more. Like a lot of *NSYNC's songs are just flat out bad (though I still love them) while I feel like more of BSB's songs are genuinely good songs, especially their first album which I am in love with. They also have better voices, and *NSYNC has Justin, so blech @ him. But *NSYNC will always have a special place in my heart. I saw them live 3 times when I was 11 & 12 and had the time of my life!
I agree, Disney pizza is the equivalent to frozen pizza. Which is still okay, but why have something okay when you could have something marvelous? I don't know why grocery stores in Jersey even SELL frozen pizza when you can get the greatest stuff on earth on every street.
Your zebra comment made me literally LOL. I'm at the library using the computers so as you can imagine they were not to happy with me..
Been a bad few days so the laugh was needed THANKS!!
Aww that's wonderful. I hope your next few days are better, hang in there!
The part with Timon and his cousins was just beautiful! Loved the updates!
haha Thank you!
THAT SEA TURTLE SKELETON IS SO COOL. I have never noticed it before!
It is a good thing the stores at Disney have so many awesome details to look at it. When I am at AK, I just want to see animals and musicals and hang out with the Yeti. You my friend, are very patient!
UMMMMM
.DYING OVER HERE BECAUSE OF RUSSEL AND DUG. I have never seen them at AK before but I think they will be there more often now because of the wilderness explorers game that is coming
I HOPE.
I LOVE the picture of the pretty butterfly and Mickey.
Disney pizza
just ew. There are SO many more great options at AK, and plus you can get pizza anywhere else in Disney. Or those nasty flatbreads. EVEN WORSE.
Me either! I don't know how I didn't notice a GIANT SKELETON, but that's Disney for ya: so much going on that you miss things like this.
I tried to be! It wasn't easy! But AK does have the most interesting stores as far as decoration goes. It's not just about the merchandise.
I haven't heard of that game but it sounds interesting!
Thank you!
Oh GOD I had the worst flatbread ever at AKL on my Dec 2011 trip. Never again.
Loved your latest updates! So many fun things to do at AK, and I loved your tweet...being one of those zebra dancers would be so much fun!
I COMPLETELY feel you!! Disney CS restaurants do so many things stupendously. Pizza is not one of them.
Especially at the Animal Kingdom, where there's Yak & Yeti and Flame Tree...ah well, at least Pizzafari is really cute and colorful inside! And air conditioned. Always a plus.
When I worked at the Boardwalk, I would sometimes check families in who were staying on the dining plan but hadn't done ANY research or made any ADR's. I would just stare at them, dumbfounded. We plan so meticulously to get the most value - use the snack credit for the $4.99 cupcake and not the 79 cent banana and all that - it's so strange to see people who just don't worry about it. But I guess that's how Disney makes money off of the dining plan!
Love it.
Thank you! I am so jealous of those dancing zebras!
Agreed. So many people are fine with paying $9 for a frozen pizza quality meal so they aren't gonna step it up I'm afraid.
Yes, I love Pizzafari despite the food! It's so awesome in there.
Oh my GOD I just don't understand guests when it comes to those who do no research IN GENERAL... I did the exact same thing, used all my snack credits for the expensive stuff like F&W dishes, you can use your credits for items that are 6, 7++ dollars! I saved so much money that way. I don't know why you wouldn't research it, that's just crazy.
I'm BA-AAACK (say that like the girl from Poltergeist)! Haha, I'm sure it's not THAT terrifying, but I have returned from the dead once again (*wink, wink*) Really getting deep into this TR now, so excited I came back just in time. And I'm so happy to see Hula Timon actually being such an important piece of this TR!
And I can totally relate to Lee-Anne on the constant need to shop in Disney. Though I feel for you and the need "to ride the rides, watch the shows, meet the characters, etc.", but I mean... it's DISNEY merchandise TO THE MAX! You can't go wrong there lbh
Can't wait to read about more!
P.S. Not sure if I told you this, but I finally saw Annie Hall. Really liked it and Diane Keaton does do a great job even though Woody's performance was actually my favorite, but that may be because I relate to Alvy Singer more. I think I'm going to watch Hannah and Her Sisters next since... MIA FARROW!!!!! Oh and I have a recommendation for you: Zero Dark Thirty. See it. Now. Totally worth it. Kathryn Bigelow = Snubbed at Oscars. Speaking of Oscars, what did you think? I know you aren't a big fan of Anne Hathaway so I'm interested to hear what your opinion is of what went down.
hahaha welcome BAAAACK. I'm glad you're enjoying Hula Timon! He got a little tired as the trip went on so he won't be showing up that much toward the end unfortunately.
ANNIE HALL IS THE BEST. I relate more to Alvy as well. I love Woody as an actor alone so much. He's just perfect in that movie, and so is Diane. Hannah and Her Sisters is nowhere near as good in my opinion, but still a great and classic Allen film.
I haven't seen ZDT yet, it doesn't spark my interest that much, but I will see it eventually.
The Oscars don't matter in my opinion. If you get to go to the Oscars, if you get to walk through that door, you've already won, and that's it really. I go between caring about them and not caring about them, because I do think it's great to celebrate film, but the format is not ideal. There should be a way to honor more films. As for this year's winners..
Argo - still didn't see it but I love Affleck
Screenplay - I love Tarantino so much. I don't think Django is his best screenplay but it's still better than 90% of movies so there you go.
Director - I know everyone was annoyed Affleck didn't get nominated, but I'm glad they changed it up and gave it to Ang Lee. I hate when something sweeps the Oscars, I like when different movies win different prizes and Ang Lee is fantastic.
Actors... DDL - ridiculously talented actor but getting boring at this point. Needs to change it up, like when he did the musical Nine. The film was panned but I LOVED it and it was a departure for him. He was great. Joaquin Phoenix deserved it this year, as did John Hawkes.
Jennifer Lawrence - Her award is less thanks to her performance and more thanks to everyone in Hollywood being desperate to please Harvey Weinstein. She's talented but no way she would have won that without him. There's *something* I like about her - I feel like in a sea of fake actresses she is probably the lesser of the evils. Even though everything she says is rehearsed and getting so tired... she's not that bad. I was not crazy about this category at all but I love Chastain. I was rooting for Emmanuelle Riva though.
Anne Hathaway - *sigh* Way way way way WAY worse than Jennifer when it comes to rehearsing every word that comes out of her mouth. Only time I liked her as an actress was in The Devil Wears Prada. She acts like a little girl doing what she thinks actresses do.
Christoph Waltz - F L A W L E S S actor, genuine, interesting, deserving. I'm surprised they gave it to him again but overjoyed. 100% deserved, although I would also have loved to see De Niro take it because his role in SLP was his first great one in years and plus having worked for the Tribeca Film Festival and met him several times I just *love* the man.
I liveblogged the show on my movie blog too! The best parts for me this year were the musical numbers honestly.
Oh, Dug and Russell!! I know what you mean about being an emotional wreck! I always skip the beginning because the love is so sweet, it makes me asad!
I know, it was such a precious love story! I was so taken aback by it.
but now that we've worked out that she doesn't care if I leave early and do whatever, it's cool. She's awesome that way!
I could just feel the anxiety as you were describing sitting around waiting for her to wake up, waiting for her to get ready, etc. ICK I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT!! I'm so glad I married a man who loves Disney as much as I do and is always up for an early wake up call!
