It's a Jolly Holiday with LL. *FINISHED* Final Update on pg. 58.

[Alice In Tinkerland]

what a great report. Your pics are so nice and crisp.

how funny is it that you forgot about the PPcard down your shirt. Something to laugh about later maybe not so funny when it happened!!!

looking forward to more

OMG...I love that you shoved your photopass card down your shirt!!! So many great pics!!! I love the one of the fountain though. You caught it perfectly- it's like the water is going to jump off the computer screen!!!

Yeah. I am a smart one for putting it down my shirt.
I love the fountain picture. I had so much fun taking all of these pictures.

Note to self: Keep a tight leash on the photopass card!

Lord knows that exact conversation could very well be repeated by me come January, LL!

I hope I have saved you from having this conversation!

Great update! "Mary Poppins & a Light Fixture. Life doesn't get much better than that!" This cracked me up! I thought your shirt was really cute! I love the stained glass windows. I wish I would have done some character pictures. We didn't do any on this trip. There is always next time!

Thanks. That shirt was supposed to be my Animal Kingdom shirt but it got pushed to our Epcot day. I wish I had done more Character pictures.

Thanks for reading and joining in!

We were able to laugh about later. I believe Marc said that he was going keep it down his shirt from now on after we had the missing photopass debacle. In all fairness to me though, he did keep it in his pocket most of the week just so we were able to get to it easier than putting it in the backpack.

Crow tastes very bad doesn't it. I hate it when I'm wrong.
Which of course hardly ever happens I
love the Belle pics, did you put the siggie on it when you
edited it or did the photo pass person do that for you.

It's almost time for us to be there. Every time you post
a chapter I get more excited because you write so well
I feel like I'm along on your vacation.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

OK... I am all caught up. So much to say (in random order)!

happy belated birthday!

Sorry about the pre-rope-drop Hollywood Studios hullabaloo.

Overall you got some amazing photos.

I SO want to stay at WL! And LOVE that Marc is already asking when you can stay there again! He's a keeper!!

I like the shirt you wore the day you met Mary P and had the bridge photos taken!

I love your description of sitting there reflecting on where you were 3 years before and being so grateful. I don't love that you were teary but I think it's so important to give thanks and your story gives me hope that Prince Charming could be out there-- despite all of the frogs I've met!

Can't wait to hear more!

I really do hate it when I am wrong! Which doesn't happen often. Just ask my husband.

Thank you so much. You are getting really close!

Marc is a keeper. He's very good to me.

I agree, it's very important to give thanks for all of the blessings in your life. It helps to keep things in perspective.

Day 6. Part 2.

While we taking off our hissy pants, I took a few pictures around Morocco to soothe the tension.

We both thought Morocco was very beautiful. We spent quite a bit of time poking around and just enjoying ourselves. Which means, I took a lot of pictures. Hehehe.

I especially like this light photo. So beautiful.

I had Marc take my photo with the beautiful tile.....

....oh who am I kidding!? I had him take my photo with the beautiful light fixture. He rolled his eyes at em when I asked if he was getting the light fixture in the photo.

He must have forgiven me because he agreed to pose for this picture!

I told Marc to pose like Aladdin and this is what I got.

I think I did a better job. You ain't never had a friend like me.

Marc loved that there was tile on the overhangs of the roofs. Does that make sense?

For our Morocco snack we decided to get a beverage. Now, I know it's not really "Morocco-ish" but we went with it. We got a watermelon slushie, it was divine!

They gave us two straws which I thought was very romantical.

Next up, was Japan!

A nice CM offered to take our picture when they saw we were taking single pictures of each other. I thought it would be cute to be sipping on our straws. Marc thought I was completely ridiculous. He scoffed.

He did it, but you can pretty much see the disgust on his face.

Continued...

 

[Lady Lallie]

Day 6. Part 2. Continued.

We went to explore the Japan stores.

Marc took this picture of a lantern and I happen to like it even though you can see my leg coming out the bottom I think my leg looks really skinny!

Marc wanted me to pick a pearl, which I thought was sweet.

Me, holding my 7 1/4 mm pearl.

It was fun to watch. They do it very quickly though. Marc said that he wants that to become a tradition for me every trip. I thought it was sweet. He told me that by the time we retire, I should have a full pearl necklace.

For our Japan snack, we bought some rice candy.

Utterly disgusting. So gross that I can't even tell you how gross it was. It was sticky, so sticky that you could barely get the plastic wrapping off. Ick.

The drummers were out. They were intense in their drumming, a high energy performance! Very good. We both really enjoyed watching them.

Next up was the American Pavilion. Sadly, we weren't hungry at all so we didn't a snack.

We did catch the drum and fife performance. It was excellent.

We waited around so that we could go see the American Adventure.

Inside is very impressive & beautiful.

Voices of Liberty was great. We sat on a bench and just enjoyed the cool and the singing talent.

I loved the hall with all of the flags, I wish we hadn't been herded through there and I could have enjoyed taking some pictures.

The theater itself, was just beautiful.

Overall we enjoyed the show. I love anything with History. My only complaint that it was a bit long. I started to get antsy towards the end. My OCD Disney brain got in the way of me relaxing. I am sure you can ALL relate to that.

Coming up...
My least favorite country.
A bad trip with Trolls.
LL almost pulls a Meg Ryan.

Great update and more great pics. There is a TR/wedding report of a couple who got married in Morocco. You need to check it out...their pics are gorgeous. Of course their wedding was at like 8am so there were no park guests walking around but it looked like a gorgeous wedding.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

I LOVE the idea that by the time you retire you'll have a full pearl necklace. What a lovely thought!

More great photos -- especially of light fixtures.

 

[LegoMom3]

...
First up, we rode Spaceship Earth. All the other times we had ridden, we had sat in separate benches so we wouldn't be squished. Well I wanted to ride together so we could get some photos of us together at the end part. Well we get to the end part and our screen is loading and then it carps out. It says that it is having technical difficulties so we never get to see our future. How sad!

Fortunately, in our case, this also happened, or I would have heard the entire spiel in Japanese!

I used my Mission Impossible moves to follow here as stealthily as possible to her greeting area.

*Cue Mission Impossible Music*

Well I did and now it's stuck in my head, thank you very much....

Mary Poppins & a Light Fixture. Life doesn't get much better than that!

Day 6. Part 1. Continued....


I can't remember the name of where we went for our French Snack, but we split a croissant. I let Marc pick and out of those yummy goodies he picks a flipping croissant. Oh well.

Men!!.....*pfffftt!*

Oh, and the name of the shop is the Boulangerie. It's French for "bakery" and is the root word of my maiden name!

And I'll bet that flippin' croissant was pretty flippin' good!

Marc and I continue to say not nice things to each other. Not our finest Disney moment, people. Marc walks away. Into another country. Just leaves me in France all by my lonesome and jets to Morocco! ....

.....He thinks I made a scene and he's embarrassed. I apologize, he apologizes and he's in a slightly better mood. Phew. Crisis averted. Hissy fit spanning two countries is over. And yes, we were THOSE people. I can live with that.

DED!!!

Day 6. Part 2.

Hidden Mickey on the left-side green door!!!!!

....oh who am I kidding!? I had him take my photo with the beautiful light fixture. He rolled his eyes at em when I asked if he was getting the light fixture in the photo.

Ya think!?!

WHAT in the name of peanut butter is that weird headless thing on the camel's butt?!!!!??



VERY enjoyable installments LL! Keep it up!

Although, I wonder, is there an award for Most Pictures of Disney Light Fixtures in a TR?!

[Diamondintheruff]

Phew, I've finally caught up. Totally loving your report.

Marc took this picture of a lantern and I happen to like it even though you can see my leg coming out the bottom I think my leg looks really skinny!

You look like you are about to jump out of the light fixture. You know like the girls jump out of a cake. Although I suspect it would be more of a treat for you if Marc jumped out of a light fixture for your next birthday.

 

[belle8306]

Great update! I love Epcot! There are so many cool things to take pictures of. The watermelon slushie looked so good! I thought the idea to sip the glass at the same time was very cute. I have never seen the American Adventure. I enjoy history so I think I should try it next time. I am looking forward to the next update!

I thought it was sweet of him, he has his moments.

It was very good but a croissant? I was drooling over the quiches and pastries so much that the french CM had to exclaim "Zut Alors! Who ezzz theeez crazy wuman?"

WHAT in the name of peanut butter is that weird headless thing on the camel's butt?!!!!??

Isn't that weird!? It was like a child lost it's head. Very sad. I don't think workman's comp would cover that.

If there isn't award yet, then I think I should win the very first one.

Phew, I've finally caught up. Totally loving your report.

Thanks for reading & joining in!

You look like you are about to jump out of the light fixture. You know like the girls jump out of a cake. Although I suspect it would be more of a treat for you if Marc jumped out of a light fixture for your next birthday.

I am so glad that I was not drinking or eating or even chewing gum when I read this because I would have choked. That was just too funny.
I'm going to have to see if I can rent a giant light fixture for Marc to jump out of.

The watermelon slushie was good! They had a green color one too but I don't know what flavor that is. It was worth trying.
American Adventure is worth seeing. I don't know if it's something I would see every trip but I am glad I did this time since it was a first time thing for both of us.

The sad part is .... 6 weeks later, that poor thing on the camel was still headless ..... they should have moved to to MK for the MNSSHP


Love the update LL!!! You're on a roll this weekend!!

[If U Had Wings]

Great updates. I've always wanted to have my pic taken with Mary Poppins, but haven't done so yet. That's one of my favorite movies.

Isn't it always the way that when you make a stink, it's always you that's wrong? It never fails.

Oh... and you need to cut Marc off from picking out snacks at the France pavillion. All those delectable goodies and he picks a croissant? Obviously snack picking isn't his strong point.

 

[TarzansKat]

I was soooooooooooooo behind!

Caught up now!

I'm about to pay a compliment, brace yourself, and don't get weepy okay?

You know what I absolutely love about your trip report? Aside from getting to read all about your trip?

I love your photos. I love them, light fixtures or no. I love them because you take pictures of things that I've seen a thousand times, but when you capture it in that snapshot, it means something new and different, and it's almost like I'm seeing it for the first time.

I think I'm going to take that with me when I go in December. To remember to look at things, the LL way. Does that make sense? Love you.

They should have!! I have been dreading writing about Epcot because I took so many pictures and it's so time consuming getting all the links. I am going to keep going while I have got the momentum.

I really enjoyed Mary Poppins. It was a great character interaction. MP was much better than Belle in my opinion.

Usually he's so good at picking out snacks. I thought I would be nice since I had some must try's in other countries and he just let me down. A plain croissant, not even with chocolate!

Awwww, thanks TK! You have made me all warm and fuzzy this morning. That was my goal! Remember List # 209871 on my PTR? Yeah I thought you would. I wanted to take the time to enjoy all the details and you saying that just makes me all happy! Not weepy, though. I am permanently weepy this week. My allergies are really bothering me, I thought they were supposed to go away after the first frost!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, what wonderful World Showcase updates and photos!!! I am so glad that you were able to locate your Photopass card, and that Marc forgave you in time to take a Fez picture! All of your photos are just gorgeous, but I like the Morocco ones best!

 

[Sarilas]

I love that your light fixture grew legs, LL!

 

[ILuvCrush]

All this talking about light fixtures with legs.... i couldn't stop thinking about this one

LL please tell me you love of lights has some limits
