It's guys like you, Mickey...My 1st PreTrip! 3/18-3/23

[Enchanted]

YAY for your new camera! (And for the cute guy who helped you pick it out. )

I love that the guy at the store was wearing Mickey ears! That is priceless!

Those shoes are gor-ge-ous. I can understand not wanting to spend the extra money though. I love shoes, but I hardly ever spend much on them. And I love the "retro" look too. Anything bohemian is cool with me.

And SHUT UP, you are not a natural brunette! Holy cow, girl, you are ROCKING that blonde color. I never would have guessed that it wasn't natural! It looks soooooo good on you!

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

Hey there! You leave in 5 days yippee!!! You must be so excited! You have a whole weekend to pack and get super excited for the trip now.

BB is supposed to be a lot of fun, I have never been but alot of people say it is a great way to have a lazy (still Disney) day. I know there are a few places to get a good drink there as well, so you will be all set lol!

What games are you going to see during spring training??

Yay!! I'm going to an Astros game in Kissimmee on 3/20. After I leave Disney on 3/23 I fly home and then fly to Phoenix with my dad because our team just moved there. We're staying for like 3 days and doing like 4 spring training games, a Suns game, and the Billy Joel/Elton John concert!

No I'm not, did I say I was? LOL, just kidding but thanks for the compliments! It's so funny because most people who have known me for a long time think I look so weird with blonde hair. Then the people who I've met recently freak out and say they can never picture me with dark hair. It's basically fried so I think I'll have to go back to brunette sooner than later.

I'm going to update tomorrow (well, technically today) - I PROMISE!!!!! It was my roommates birthday tonight and I had some final papers/projects due so I have been slacking.

 

[HeatherBelle614]

I'm waiting for an update about how EXCITED you must be right now!!

 

[bettyann29]

Cant wait for your next update.. Its almost time for you to go.. are you ready yet??

Too bad on the shoes, but I agree $90 is alot and that is money that you could keep for your trip..

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Just hangin' around.....waiting for an update.

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

I'm waiting for an update about how EXCITED you must be right now!!

This is going to sound weird, but I'm not that excited right now. I was SO excited when I decided to go, REALLY excited when I booked my hotel, SUPER excited when I booked my ADR's, EVEN MORE EXCITED when my ME luggage tags came in the mail. But now, for some reason I'm not! I think it is because I have SOOOOOOOO MUCH to do between now and Wednesday night. I have 3 final exams and one final paper still to complete! I think I'm too stressed to get excited right now. How sad is that????

Cant wait for your next update.. Its almost time for you to go.. are you ready yet??

So not ready! And I felt sick all night after going out for lunch earlier today so I haven't gotten much done.

Just hangin' around.....waiting for an update.

Hahaha, I'm about to post one!!!

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

This will be more fun if I make it colorful, won't it?

I got some really exciting news today! I talked to my friend (let’s go with “Aurora” for her) today and she is coming to EPCOT with Belle and me on the 19th! Aurora is like a big sister to me, but ever since her husband got traded we haven’t been able to see each other very often. Also, she and Belle are very similar so I’m excited for them to meet. She’s going to pick us up at All Star Sports early on the 19th and we’ll all drive over and drop our stuff off at AKL. We’ll head out to EPCOT since our room won’t be ready until later. Aurora is staying the night since she plans to join us for “Drinks Around the World” through the World Showcase. Any suggestions on what drinks to try? I’ve only been there once since I turned 21, so I haven’t tasted too many.

Also, I went to get a pedicure today and got Chanel’s “Django” – the peachy pink color in the picture below. I know I don’t leave until Wednesday, but since I’m a Mystic Tan addict I wanted to do it soon since they exfoliate most of the tanner off my legs LOL!

Another thing before I start packing and posting pictures of what I’m throwing into the suitcase – I GOT BANGS! Since getting my hair cut two days ago, I’ve had people tell me I look like Carrie Underwood, Hayden Panettiere, and Kate Winslet!! I don’t think I look like any of them, but I will definitely take those as HUGE compliments! I didn’t know bangs could do that much!!!

BEFORE I FORGET - Does anyone have any questions? Or requests for pictures? Let me know so I can write them down and pack them in the suitcase and come back with answers/pics for you guys!


OK, here I go to start packing and taking pics for ya’ll!


*Next up, questions for my readers!

 

[redlight]

Hi Aloha! Your trip is so close. I'm envious.

I got bangs cut in my hair a few months ago, and I really like them.

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Cute polish color.

One of these days Joe and I want to do the drink around the world. We are either too tired, too hot, too something and just don't do it. I can't wait to read your TR and hear how it goes.

You GOTTA GOTTA have a zebra dome for me. OMG, I love those freaking things!

Your hair cut sounds cute. You should post a picture, or are you makin' us wait for your TR?

(oops...tried to stop the last post to add my comment about your haircut and turned into a double post.) Doh

 

[HeatherBelle614]

I want to see hair pictures!

So exciting that your friend is going to get to go with you that day, too.

I know what you mean. I take the LSAT about 2 weeks after we get back. I really hope I get excited despite that, and that our trip will just be a time to relax before I come back and stress out for those 2 weeks.

I hope your exams go well, though!

P.S. I'm a tanning addict, too. Luckily, I don't have to go very often because my dad is Italian. I get dark pretty fast. It's just so relaxing!

 

[troobabiee7]

for pedicures!

We want a picture of your new bangs. In the picture on the first page you do resemble Carrie Underwood!

 

[Sarah84]

Ooh the nailvarnish colour is lovely are we going to see pics of the new haircut?

Shame you didnt gett he shoes as they were lovely, you made me want to get them. But i understand what you mean with your trip so close, $90 is more spends for the wonderful Disney

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

OK OK I will post a picture of the bangs soon! We went out for dinner on Friday for my roommates birthday so once someone posts their pics on Facebook I'll show you guys! (I did NOT bring my new camera. I didn't need to lose it before Disney and I can't afford to buy another one!!)

I love how you call it nailvarnish!!! The shoes also come in yellow and they look really 70's which I totally love right now. But they were out of stock! So I think it's best that I wait to purchase them anyways. Gotta love Zappos.com!

I love you for saying that LOL! Thanks! Not only do I think she's really pretty but I just love her! She's a vegetarian (like me!) and is donating proceeds from her new song "Home Sweet Home" to the Humane Society!!! LOVE IT!

Girl, good luck!!! I am in a law class right now as part of my minor and it is SO hard. I have a TON of respect for everyone who can do law school!

OK, what exactly is a zebra dome? I saw the pics in your TR but is it white chocolate? I can't do white chocolate.

WELCOME TO MY PTR! Thanks for joining in!

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

So I was looking at old pictures from my last two Disney trips and it started to get me excited!

Here are some of the ones that got me in the spirit:

OK, time to do my study guide for my Sociology exam tomorrow night. But surely I'll need a break to START PACKING/TAKING PICS OF WHAT I'M PACKING SO I CAN SHARE!

 

[bettyann29]

Woohoo that your friend is getting to join you at Epcot

I like bangs.. I think bangs do make people look completely different than when they dont have them.. Cant wait to see a picture of them..

As far as drinks at Epcot.. I cant help you there.. I drink very little.. mainly because I get sloshed with only 2 winecoolers.. I know.. I know.. its embarrassing.. I am one that CANNOT hold my liquor.. I get giddy, giggly and make a fool of myself! so I choose to not drink except occassionally.. The zebra dome sounds yummy though..

I know what you mean about having so much to do at the end right before you leave and its hard to be excited.. but once you are on your way I bet it will sink in and you will be so excited you wont be able to stand it!

Please Please take a picture of the F&G Festival display in front of the "golf ball".. That display is always so beautiful and I cant wait to see what they are doing this year..

I hope you have so much fun!

Whoa, this is a good update! How exciting Aurora is meeting up with you! My only suggestion is MARGARITAS in Mexico! Well, now I want to see a pic of you with your hair cut!!!!

 

[tiggersam00]

Ahh drinks around the world... fun times!

France: Grand Marnier Orange Slush... try it, you'll be in heaven
Germany: A glass of Liebfraumilch it is a semi-sweet white wine, very tasty

Those are 2 to get you started at least!

You get to leave so soon

 

[xoktenox]

Heyy I'm joining in!

Everything on your trip looks so good and you're so pretty! Post a picture of your new bangs! I wish someone would tell me I look like Carrie Underwood

I hope you can infuse some Disney magic into your friend, she doesn't know what shes missing!

Can I ask what team your friend's husband is on?

 

[HoneyLSU]

Hi! I just got all caught up! Must be exciting for you that you don't have much longer left until you're on your way!!

So you're going to catch a Spring Training game in Florida then head to Arizona for more? Super fan! What games are you going to in Phoenix? I know quite a few guys in the minors and a couple in the majors. Pretty much if they played at LSU in the last 5 years, I know them! I love Phoenix too! Me and my BF were talking about moving there this past weekend. I just love it there!

I hope you have fun on both of your trips! Can't wait to hear about them! Good luck on your test too!
