Jackie and Chris's Wishes Wedding 1/6/12: SBP/Attic/SCP 5/11 Final Post- PJ Finished

[BethieTink]

FDD,

I just wanted to let you know I have not forsaken your HM TR, even though it seems like it. I hope to get some comments sometime this weekend.

I am so focused on getting everything done for the PS trip that I haven't done much else. Not an excuse, but I have to stay on my toes, because there are these 2 past brides who are all ready to take my place on this trip!

Be back soon!

We went to the HDD in April 2010 and I loved it. I want to go to Mickey's BBQ next and also the luau at the Poly I read about it on another TR so I think next April 2013 we're going to do the luau.

I don't drink a lot either so after one margarita I'm almost cut off.

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

That sounds like a heck of a way to watch HDDR. I have never seen it and greg and I have talked about going during our honeymoon but we have not booked it. We only have a tour booked outside of ADRs.

I am glad that buying Pluto worked though. That would definitely be something I would do and I would use my new pluto as my protector from the annoying drunk.

I guess the good thing is that Greg and I do not drink so I won't have to worry about this if we go to HDDR but if we do I will think of this story.

You are making me more and more excited to stay at BLT.

Teresa

Definitely check HDDR out sometime: I think you would like it!! And, luckily, by the time Pluto came to live with us, Chris had sobered up. I think I made him fill up the mugs too.

Oh, no no, I knew you wouldn't take any 3D glasses, I was just wondering aloud. (Does it count as 'aloud' when you're typing? )

I'm so glad your grandparents are home!

I can totally envision that ring-playing event happening, down to the very conversation. *sigh* Men!

That picture of you with the sangria is adorable, I have to say.

That is definitely a lot of alcohol in that amount of time! I did laugh at the Chris pictures, but if it was Doug, he would've been getting a lot of Death Glares at the time. But at least you have something to hold over his head for a while, if need be.

Awww thank you! Chris got some Death Glares, but it was truly funny. Wait until you see our behavior later on in the trip...

•So, I have a really, REALLY bad habit of playing with my rings. There have been many times where my right-hand ring or engagement ring have gone flying across public spaces. I know exactly how Chris feels with the glares, haha!

•Yay, ice cream in May!

•I sat in the table in front of you the last time I went to HDDR. I agree with you--I was like, "I paid for good seats and this is what they give us?"

•Ohhhh, drunky-Chris. I'm sorry he was annoying, but that's so funny to me.

I'm WAY too scared to play with my rings in public. I am so paranoid and afraid of losing them! (At least if Chris lost his, it would be less than $200 to replace. Mine, not so much!) And those HDDR seats were just NOT worth $70!!! Not even a little bit.

~Yay! I'm so glad your granparents are home!
~And Yay for Disbrides ice cream meet up! Can you believe that of all the tons of times I've been at DTD (we eat at Earl all the time), I've only beein to Ghiradelli once??
~ Okay, and how did I not know about adult cinderella socks at Little Miss Matched???? So making a stop in next time! What other cute adult socks do they have?
~And oh, drunk Chris makes me laugh! Kory gets annoying when he's drunk too, but I'm used to it by now!

Gasp! I used to go to Ghiradelli every trip with my grandparents. It's yummy. And they had some Mickey ones and some Minnie ones... Cindy was the only princess though. I think ALL people are annoying when they're drunk... except me. I am a princess.

* Le Cellier looks delicious! I haven't been there but would love to try it someday - probably for lunch though since I'm also mostly interested in the pretzel breadsticks and soup and I don't want to pay super high prices!
* Sending prayers your way and hoping your grandparents have a speedy recovery - and so glad to hear they got out of the hospital earlier then expected!
* Love that your ran for Haunted Mansion! I can just picture you reciting along in the stretch room
* By the way, I love Chris's Bazinga shirt!
* Wow, what a short wait for Peter Pan! We never ended up doing it on the honeymoon because the wait was always so long. We finally decided to get a FP for it on our last day and they were all out! Boo. I haven't been on it since I was 8 years old.
* I hope the Be Our Guest Restaurant opens soon too! I want to go for our April 2013 trip. Can't wait to see a menu!
* Isn't the Tale as Old As Time art book stunning? I got it for my mom for Christmas this past year. But I actually took a picture of it in Disney World and found it on Amazon later so I could spend less $$! Haha.
* I've heard such good things about the GF Cafe. Maybe if I ever get to stay there someday I'll be able to try it!
* Oh, the husband ring! Let me tell you, Jason is constantly playing with his ring. He pulls it off and on all the time. It drives me crazy! And then sometimes he takes it off and just leaves it somewhere and I have to scold him as well
* Hahaha your experience at HDD sounds hilarious! Though I can see how it would have been annoying at the time. Jason has never been drunk either, so I don't know how he would act. Probably just silly though.
* I feel like HDD is toward the bottom of my list because even though I'm interested in seeing the show, I don't really care for the food selections. Perhaps in a few decades after I've tried most of the other Disney restaurants - after all, I want to try them all eventually!

Actually, I prefer Le Cellier for lunch! I had the best cheeseburger of my life there--- I can't wait to have it again net month. And Chris wore his Bazinga shirt because my grandparents gave it to him and we were seeing them that day--- he's such a sweetie. I'm sure Be Our Guest will be open by August 2013, and the BATB art book is soooo pretty. And I'll bet Jason would act JUST like Chris if he were drunk. You have to keep me posted!

Oh... and Chris would get SUCH a talking to if he left his ring in a random place. You're gonna give me a heart attack with just the thought! (He's supposed to take it off when he goes onto the factory floor at work--- he works for a company that makes paper plates; he designs them, but they make them on site--- but he doesn't because he is a rebel.)

Lol @ drunk Chris! Sounds like me when I get drunk & DF yells at me the same way =P I have a feeling Nyx will end up doing the same thing with the ring that Chris did boys..

I think ALL guys do it!!! They just can't help it.

FDD,

I miss you, FDM!!! And you BETTER stay on your toes. Jennifer and I have our pink binders ready to go!!!

We went to the HDD in April 2010 and I loved it. I want to go to Mickey's BBQ next and also the luau at the Poly I read about it on another TR so I think next April 2013 we're going to do the luau.

I don't drink a lot either so after one margarita I'm almost cut off.

I didn't like the luau much, to be honest! The food is really good, but I thought the entertainment was only so-so. I hope you like it though.

While we were on the honeymoon we went in the hot tub one night. There were some other people there, making small talk, and at one point one of the guys asks us "Are you two newlyweds?" And we said, "Yes, how did you know?" And he said that Jason kept playing with his ring like he wasn't used to wearing it so he had a feeling it was new

And sometimes I'll find Jason left his ring next to the sink or something... so I bring it back to him and jokingly tell him "If you don't want to be married to me anymore you could just tell me instead of trying to ditch the ring!" That usually gets him to keep it on for at least a few weeks!

Honeymoon Day 6, Part 1

The next morning, I woke up a little later than usual, but Chris was already awake. He told me that he had been up at 5am and had gone and laid on the bathroom floor for an hour. Apparently, alcohol doesn't like Chris. I laughed, and told him that he should have woken me up because it would have made a fabulous picture for my planning journal. I'm kind of the best wife ever. I also called my dad that morning and told him about Drunk Chris, and we talked about how beautiful my wedding day was. (That was the last time I heard my dad's voice, but I don't want to talk about that.)

Our plan for that morning was to go to Animal Kingdom, so neither of us were in a hurry to make rode drop. We arrived at the park within an hour of its opening, but we didn't race for anything. The lines for Everest are never horrendously long; I refuse to ride Dinosaur because it terrifies me; and we just weren't in the mood for KS. So, we walked along and took some pictures.

We headed to Everest, got on quickly, and I bemoaned Disco Yeti. As we were about to get in line again, a girl gave us her fastpasses! We were grateful, and got right back on. After our second trip we looked for the Yeti Ski Hat again, but to no avail. I hope they have it in May!

We decided to head over to Discovery Island next to do some character meet and greets.

First up was Pooh.

And then Eeyore, who was ADORABLE! The photographer was having a lot of fun, and whenever she tried to take a nice picture, Eeyore would turn to me and make a "pop pop" noise. I couldn't stop laughing!

I love Eeyore--- can you tell?

I thanked him for being such a sweetheart.

Our meet and greet with Tigger could have only been lackluster after that! The photographer was also trying to speed us up, as we had spent a bit too much time with Eeyore. But, I love how cute Chris looks here as he hugs Tigger.

After that meet and greet, we headed over to Dinoland to see what characters could be found, but it was just Pluto and Goofy, who we had already seen that trip. We passed, but I snapped this picture.

I was excited because it's a 1970's airbus, and they're always talking about them on American Pickers. I'm really not cool.

We stumbled across Flik (it's Flik, right? I've never actually seen A Bug's Life and he helped us pose this cute picture.

Then we went to Camp Minnie Mickey and met up with Pocahontas and Meeko, who I hadn't met since I was a little girl.

She's so tiny!

We also saw some rabbits

We decided not to wait for any of the Fab Five because we had met all of them before, and the lines were just too long.

Honestly, I had made a resolution to try and like the Animal Kingdom on this trip: and I just couldn't do it! I think this is a park that Walt Disney would have loved because it's beautiful and it's themed to perfection, but it just doesn't hold my interest. I think Everest is a great attraction, and Finding Nemo the Musical is my favorite show in WDW, but I don't know--- I'm just always hot and tired in AK, no matter what the temperature! Just my personal opinion.

We decided to head over to the Epcot bus next... which is good, because it's time for me to go to Milton! I'll post more in the morning!

 

[elleinad16]

•I've only been to Animal Kingdom twice...and like you, it's just alright.
•Oh wow! So many character meet and greets though! I think I have to go find Poca and Meeko, Thumper and Miss Bunny the next time I'm there! they're all so cute. (Flik, not so much...SCARY BIG BUG!)

 

[belle2211]

I'm with you on AK. We go to the parks all of the time...I seriously cannot tell you how many times I've been to MK, DHS, or Epcot...over a hundred I'm sure (at least ten times a year for 12 years...so yeah)...but I think I've been to AK maybe 5 or 6..just not my park either!

I've been to Animal Kingdom... oh, I don't know, definitely more than 10 times. So I keep on trying! It just doesn't take. I did meet Donny Osmond there though. True Story.

And I laughed SO hard at your "scary big bug!" comment. He really IS a scary big bug!

I'm with you on AK. We go to the parks all of the time...I seriously cannot tell you how many times I've been to MK, DHS, or Epcot...over a hundred I'm sure (at least ten times a year for 12 years...so yeah)...but I think I've been to AK maybe 5 or 6..just not my park either!

I'm glad we're not alone! It's just always so HOT there. It wasn't even hot on this day, but we were still hot!

 

[tinydancr06]

Wow, you got so many good character pics! I know what you mean about not loving AK but I at least always think it's a nice change of pace from the other parks. I'm jealous you got a picture with Flik! I haven't gotten one yet but yours reminded me of one time I was in AK with a group of friends. We passed Flik and I got all excited and then one of my guy friends (who likes the parks but is no big Disney fan) decides to yell out, "Hey, Flik! I love your inventions!!!" I thought this was pretty much the funniest thing ever. Anyway, back to your lovely trip report

 

[DisneyShamrock]

I like Animal Kingdom. It's ok. But, you kind of feel like you've done everything by noon. My opinion is that I'll probably never make it to Africa, so I'll ride the safaris, but I can see randomly placed animal exhibits at the zoo.

I love character pictures. It's a shame so many kids have to want to see them too because they make the lines so much longer. The never of them!

We hit the jackpot on characters back in the year Fantasmic premiered. They had all the villains out at MGM, and we hit them all. Adding them to the regular ones, I think our total was almost 50 different characters.

Honeymoon Day 6, Part 2

As we waited for the Epcot bus (which seemed to take forever, might I add!), I made friends with the people behind us in line. They were DVC members, and we talked about our respective vacations. We told them we were going to Via Napoli, and they told us we would not be disappointed! We also made a reservation at The Wave for dinner that night, as per their recommendation. We were originally supposed to go to Garden Grove, but I just didn't feel like taking a bus to a park, and then switching and taking a bus to the Swan. Sorry, Faith!!

On the way to Epcot, I also saw my very first wild Florida alligator!!! He was just chillin' in some tall grass on the side of the road near Epcot. I've always looked for gators (I'm always scoping out the water near Tom Sawyer's Island), so I was pretty excited to see one.

Once we arrived at Epcot, we hoofed it over to Via Napoli and were seated pretty quickly. Chris ordered a basic cheese pizza, and I got mine with pepperoni. (Chris doesn't like any sort of toppings on his pizza that aren't cheese or macaroni and cheese, so I love it when we can order individual pizzas.) The pizzas came...

... and then I fell in LOVE. Seriously, in love. Chris and I are pretty picky about pizza, but Via Napoli had some of the best I had ever tasted.

Our lunch conversation consisted pretty much of "This pizza is so good!" "Isn't it so good?!"

I had also ordered a sangria, and Chris had ordered some sort of fruity drink. (He has no shame about drinking "girly" drinks in public, which I like.) Now, I have a fairly high sangria tolerance, but for whatever reason, this drink made me more than a little silly. Chris was also starting to get a little giggly.

After lunch, we took a few pictures in Italy...

... and then we decided the best course of action would be to have more drinks. I had come up with the idea that we were going to have sake next because we had never had sake, and it was time we did, gosh darnit. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture, but the sake from the little kiosk was GROSS! Absolutely disgusting. Still, it did the trick--- and it was only $6.

From there, we decided to go over to France and get a Grand Marnier Orange Slushie. (Well, I decided.) I had tried one of these before and had decided it was only so-so, but it was amazing this time around. We sat down with our drinks for a few minutes, and by this time we were more than a little silly.

CHRIS! The beast is over there and he scares me so I have to take a pictureeee

Chris also kept trying to see if he could walk in a straight line. (He couldn't.)

We decided to get a second Orange Slush and move our tipsy selves over to our grass on the French Moroccan border. Chris became fascinated by the grass because it was two different colors. TWO different colors, Jack!

Chris was also overcome with the desire to tweet about the grass, but he was having a hard time figuring out how to do so. This is, quite possibly, the sexiest picture of anyone ever taken. Ever.

We were apparently making fools of ourselves, because a very nice woman came over and offered to take "the lovebirds" picture. We don't look terribly tipsy here.

Then, I decided to take Chris's phone and send a tweet. I didn't bring my phone---I always keep my phone off when I am in WDW--- so I was trying to tweet "WOOO THIS IS JACKIE!!!!!!" from his account. I ended up typing "EEEOOOOO" though, and I couldn't exactly figure out how to change it--- and I couldn't stop laughing!!!

We decided to start moving, and for some reason this picture happened.

We walked slowly and attempted to sober up because I wanted to go on Maelstrom. We were almost completely human by the time we got on the ride (it was sooo hot in the queue though), and afterwards we grabbed sodas from Norway's QS location and just attempted to hydrate ourselves. We were definitely done with alcohol for the day!

As we were sitting, a custodian came around and started sweeping up. She chatted with us for a bit, and she said something-or-other about Disney, and I followed it up with something that surprised her. (Yes, I am so descriptive) She seemed surprised that I knew it, and I told her "Oh, I'm just really obsessed with Disney and know far too much about it." Her reply was "Well, at least you're not obsessed like the girls who get married in the Wedding Pavillion." -pause- "Nope, I am. That's me. Well, I got married at the Boardwalk, but no, I got married here." She didn't really know how to reply for a moment there, and it was awkward all around!

We were sufficiently sober, and it was time for me to go meet Duffy! Now, I know that a lot of Disney fans hate Duffy, and I feel like a traitor to the online community for saying so, but I love the cute little bear. I loved Disney bears when they were first released in 2003, and I am just so happy that they returned! Naturally, meeting Duffy was a priority for me, and he was one of the best meet and greets I have ever seen! The photographer was really into it too, which was sweet.

We went over to Duffy, and he started innocently enough by hugging both of us.

He noticed our Bride and Groom hats and he decided that Chris's ears would look much better on him.

He made Chris go over to the corner of the gazebo so he could take pictures with just me.

Then, the photographer decided that Duffy would probably like to wear my ears too.

He looked SO cute; I just couldn't stop laughing!!

He gave me my ears back, and got down on one knee.

But then we decided to let Chris back in the picture.

We said our goodbyes to Duffy, but I was sad to have to leave!

We were pretty much done with what we wanted to do in Epcot, but we didn't feel like going back to BLT yet. We walked (well, at this point, we walked veryyyy slowly: it had been a long day!) to the monorail, and off to MK we went!

 

[yourgypsy]

Oh, Jackie, I laughed so hard at part two!

We have reservations for Via Napoli on one of the days this trip, and you have me so excited. I constantly tease Doug about secretly being a Ninja Turtle due to his love of pizza, so he's going to LOVE dinner there.

The drunk pics? So freakin' adorable! I'm kinda curious about the Grand Marnier Slushie... is it overly orangey? Or is it orangey in the orange soda kind of way? (I'm not big on orange, but I'm curious about this one!)

The pics with Duffy came out so cute! And the Eeyore ones! Eeyore was my absolute favorite as a kid, and of all the Pooh characters now, he still is. How many proposals have you received this trip now?

 

[Pinkgirl]

Thank you so much for cheering me up with your fab update - the grass is two colours LOL. I cant see our grass at the moment because it is snowing - YES snowing!!!!!!! Its April!!!!!!! It was 22 degrees last week and I was avoiding tanlines and now it is SNOWING!!!!!!

 

[Icecoldpenguin]

ok so I am super jealous of your character pictures! I want to meet the rabbits, pocahontas, meeko, and I would love the fab 5 in their safari outfit but I can get that at Tusker house. I guess I did not realize that the AK was such a great place for character pics

I really like via napoli too so I am glad that you guys enjoyed it so much

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Duffy! This is why I have a stuffed one. I can not wait to meet him and your pictures with him are just way too cute!

I like Day 6 so far

Teresa

 

[Jilian]

LOL! Your pictures made me laugh, it looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I really need to start going to Epcot more!

 

[librarygeek]

* Love all of your character pics in AK! You found a lot. We got lucky to find Pocahontas but Meeko wasn't with her! Ah well.
* I am also too scared to ride Dinosaur. I did it once but kept my eyes closed for almost the whole thing.
* I love the Animal Kingdom. Everest is a great coaster and I love the safari - I usually go on it 2 or 3 times throughout the day because different animals come out at different times of day. Festival of the Lion King is probably my favorite show in Disney. And I've never even seen the Nemo show! I also really enjoyed the Flights of Wonder show, which was closed last time I was there. I'm a little hesitant about the Avatar land that's coming because I don't really feel like a whole Avatar area fits in a Disney theme park, but maybe it will help give the AK a better reputation.
* Looks like you had a GREAT time in the World Showcase! Gotta enjoy those drinks!
* The pizza at Via Napoli looks amazing. I'm really hoping we try it.
* The Duffy pictures are so cute! I'm fairly indifferent about Duffy - I don't hate him like some fans but I'm not buying a Duffy bear or anything either. But the one that you met seemed pretty awesome!

 

[NoOrdinaryPrincess]

I haven't been very good at commenting but I'm here and reading along! Drunk DF sounds hilarious!

 

[jlocmac]

Hi there lady! We're not even going to discuss how behind I am. Just know that I had to go ALLLLL the way back to page 74! That's just freakin insane. I'm such a horrible friend. I seriously do read every update about the time that you post them.

Now let's get started! This is going to take a while....

Scrapbook:
-I LOVE your scrapbook. Once Upon A Time is one of my fav shows on right now. I'm seriously pissed that there won't be any new episodes until the end of April. I find this just absolutely ridiculous. Don't even get me started on the reruns of HIMYM! Don't get me wrong, I love reruns. I just want some new episodes too!! Sorry.. moving on..
-Your scrapbook layout and everything is really good though. I've never done one either, but the one I envision in my head is GORGEOUS! Just sayin!
-I did save anything and everything we had over those 14 days though.. for when I did get to that scrapbook.

HM 4:1
-Don't shoot me when I say this, but....it doesn't hurt our feelings if we don't get to ride TSMM. It's great and all, but so not worth running through the park for me. We run to ToT and RnR while everyone else is running over there!! LOL
-I totally know how you feel about the exhaustion. The longest we've ever been on vacation was 7 days. It's not that I was ready to go.. it was just different? I guess?!
-Aren't kids hilarious with their comments?! I don't want them, but I can laugh at them!! Or with them? Whatever..
-I'm not a huge fan of Star Tours either. Shoot me!
-Muppets!! Woohoo!! Funny to me!
-Crazy you ran into someone from your new school district.
-Wow $17 cheeseburger! That's freakin insane. ***? Where are the food pics? You crawled my *** about the ones I forgot for our TR! I promise I'll do better this time though. I have good intentions of doing a TR for my bday!
-I want an Oreo milkshake in my belly right now! THIS is something you should've taken a pic of! My God lady, where was your head! (That's what he said!!)
-Would you still want to be my friend if I told you that we don't watch Phineas and Ferb?
-I LOVE that Chris was chosen to participate. It's like when Charley was picked at AK for the Festival of the Lion King!! Hilarious!!
-I bout died laughing when I first saw these pics, and I'm laughing at his face even more NOW! LOL
-SHAKE IT!! WOOOHOOO!!! Oh.. sorry!
-Yes.. he's definitely giving you the eye.
-We did not do the Cars meet & greet. I love the movies.. just didn't feel like waiting. I don't know. Don't judge me.
-Charley usually beats me at any of the rides where they take score. I think it's rigged in favor of the guys.
-My ears fell off a lot when we took pics. It really pissed me off.
-I'm totally jealous of all the special effect Photopass pics yall were able to get.

HM 4:2
-I feel like guys don't change unless you tell them to. That's they way it usually is with Charley anyway. lol
-We've never been to Le Cellier, but I really want to go.. You're always raving about it.
-I hate traveling anyway. We always drive to most places anyway. We take monorail when needed, but we park at GF and go from there. lol
-I hate when people are rude at restaurants. I just want to slap.
-You probably bout made that chick stroke out!
-I really, really dislike being placed at the baby tables.
-I want that soup in my belly after I eat/drink the Oreo milkshake.
-That's a great server. I felt that way about the guy we had at GF Cafe. He was awesome!!
-OMG! That steak needs me!
-Did you really like the quiche? Seriously? I'm so beyond picky about what I eat. That's why I normally order steak. The worst that can happen is that it's the wrong temp. lol
-Epcot is really pretty at night. I told Charley I want to walk around during my bday trip and take tons of pics.. like we didn't do this every other time but whatever.
-We watched Illuminations once. It's pretty snazzy, but I wouldn't stay and watch it every time like we do Wishes!
-Yay for high fireworks!!

WooHoo You were blogged! That means you're a celebrity! (I knew you were blogged a long time ago. I just felt like it was something I needed to comment on..)

HM 5
-Those clouds look pretty nasty! But YAY for MK!!!
-We still haven't made it to rope drop, but I WILL make it next month!
-Haunted Mansion is awesome. It's ok you went there first.
-Charley said we're going to Pirates first on the bday trip. lol I always run to SM
-That's awesome yall were in there alone. You should've been making out or something.
-CUTE pics!!! I don't have this one of Donald.
-I told Charley we have to ride Peter Pan next time.
-I really hope they open a lot of the new expansion before our passes expire. We're still undecided about renewing them right now.
-It's quite possible you straight jacked those glasses and never even walked into that damn room!
-That doesn't count when you steal your pics from the internet. You have to take them yourself...I forgive you though.
-I'm just going to tell you that EVERY time I see the pic your GF took, I seriously.. seriously burst out laughing!!!!
-I kid you not.. I just about have a panic attack every single time we go in World of Disney. It's insane in there!!
-You should've demanded a manager to explain where The My Lil Pony gear went!

HM 5:2
-AHHHHHH I'm so ready for the Memorial weekend trip too!! It's going to be so much fun meeting all of you!!!
-Charley was standing outside with the dogs and was swinging his arms around... his ring flew off into the grass. He realized this a couple of hours later. I yelled at him and told him he was never going to find that damn ring in the yard. It didn't take him 3 mins to find it..
-I think we bought 1 wedding ornament. I want to get some socks next time! They're sooo cute. I forgot to go back the last time we were there.
-Chris was def already tipsey before yall even went inside! That's how I would be if I had a drink before.
-Those seats piss me off. That's just flippin ridiculous.
-Beer is soooo nasty to me. UGH! Charley likes it alright.. but not much.
-He is def feeling the effects of the alcohol!!!!
-Those pics are so funny! He looks so drunk!
-You should've slapped him and told him to snap out of it! LOL
-Don't you just love the apologizing?!
-Yay for the great view!

HM 6:1
-I would've been parked by the toilet too!! That's why I don't drink. lol
-I can't believe your scared of Dinosaur. I love that ride. It jerks you around quite a bit though.
-I love your pics!
-I love Pooh, but I LOVE Eeyore!! He's soooo sweet! I think he loves me too.
-You seriously need to back up off my man! Do you know where I'm having my bday dinner? The Crystal Palace!! AHHHH!!! LOL I'm not kidding though. I love that place!
-I don't like when they rush you for pics.
-We took pics with that airbus! We love watching American Pickers!
-I don't think I've ever seen the entire movie A Bug's Life. I've watched large portions of it, I know.
-Aren't the bunnies just the sweetest?!
-I can't believe your all saying this about AK. You're making me so angry!!!! I love it there!! I know it doesn't have all the fancy rides and crap. BUT it has the animals!! They're soooo cute!! The layout of the trees and all the coverage is what makes it so hot in that park IMO.

-OMG you saw a real gator on the side of the street?
-That pizza looks so yummy to me!! I'm so picky about my pizza. I do like pepperoni though. Those look delicious! I told Charley we would def need to go here at some point.
-You 2 were just regular ol drinkers, huh?! LOL
-We're going to try the Orange Slush next time!!
-I bet yall were hilarious walking around there!
-LOL Your pics are funny to me! I can tell you're tipsy!
-You're drunken self was striking a pose!
-I would've been passed out by now!!
-That sweeper person probably felt like a big ***!!!
-Pretty Duffy! And pretty Jackie!!
-Don't he look so handsome with Chris' ears on?! It's like when Pooh tried on Charley's!! Those darn bears!
-I love how he kicked Chris out! He wanted pics with the pretty pretty princess!!!
-He looks so silly with your ears on!
-All of the pics are super darn cute!

OMG guess who is caught up again! It's a damn miracle! I'm not going to say I'll do better though. I'll try. Just know that I'll be here at some point to comment. LOL

I CAN'T wait to meet you ladies next month!! It's going to be so much fun!! I'm kind of shy at first when I don't really know someone.. even though I've been talking to you online for over a year now. But whatever!! It's still freakin exciting!!!!

I love all of these pictures!! The drunk pictures crack me up! We've never eaten at Via Napoli, but plan on trying it next month. Your pizzas look soooo yummy. I can't wait to try it!

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

Oh, Jackie, I laughed so hard at part two!

We have reservations for Via Napoli on one of the days this trip, and you have me so excited. I constantly tease Doug about secretly being a Ninja Turtle due to his love of pizza, so he's going to LOVE dinner there.

The drunk pics? So freakin' adorable! I'm kinda curious about the Grand Marnier Slushie... is it overly orangey? Or is it orangey in the orange soda kind of way? (I'm not big on orange, but I'm curious about this one!)

The pics with Duffy came out so cute! And the Eeyore ones! Eeyore was my absolute favorite as a kid, and of all the Pooh characters now, he still is. How many proposals have you received this trip now?

I hope you were laughing WITH me and not AT me, right? (Don't worry, I was laughing at me too.) I'm so glad you're going to VN: we have ressies there next month too! Get pizza, not pasta. Their pasta is quite mediocre. I think the slushie is more orangey on an... alcoholic orange juice kind of way, but frozen and no pulp? If that makes ANY sense whatsoever. If you're not an orange fan, I suggest getting the grey goose lemonade slush at the same stand. Both are delicious!

Eeyore is definitely my favorite too. I just want to hug him all the time!

Thank you so much for cheering me up with your fab update - the grass is two colours LOL. I cant see our grass at the moment because it is snowing - YES snowing!!!!!!! Its April!!!!!!! It was 22 degrees last week and I was avoiding tanlines and now it is SNOWING!!!!!!

I'm glad I could cheer you up. And it was SNOWING?!? But it's April. Tell your weather to shape up, girl!

ok so I am super jealous of your character pictures! I want to meet the rabbits, pocahontas, meeko, and I would love the fab 5 in their safari outfit but I can get that at Tusker house. I guess I did not realize that the AK was such a great place for character pics

I really like via napoli too so I am glad that you guys enjoyed it so much

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Duffy! This is why I have a stuffed one. I can not wait to meet him and your pictures with him are just way too cute!

I like Day 6 so far

Teresa

Yeah, AK is great for characters! The lines aren't usually too long, but I am pretty impatient. I thinkkk I only have one Duffy (the Valentine's Day one), but I have lots of the original Disney bears.

LOL! Your pictures made me laugh, it looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I really need to start going to Epcot more!

Yeah, you do! Epcot probably isn't the MOST fun for your kiddos though.

* Love all of your character pics in AK! You found a lot. We got lucky to find Pocahontas but Meeko wasn't with her! Ah well.
* I am also too scared to ride Dinosaur. I did it once but kept my eyes closed for almost the whole thing.
* I love the Animal Kingdom. Everest is a great coaster and I love the safari - I usually go on it 2 or 3 times throughout the day because different animals come out at different times of day. Festival of the Lion King is probably my favorite show in Disney. And I've never even seen the Nemo show! I also really enjoyed the Flights of Wonder show, which was closed last time I was there. I'm a little hesitant about the Avatar land that's coming because I don't really feel like a whole Avatar area fits in a Disney theme park, but maybe it will help give the AK a better reputation.
* Looks like you had a GREAT time in the World Showcase! Gotta enjoy those drinks!
* The pizza at Via Napoli looks amazing. I'm really hoping we try it.
* The Duffy pictures are so cute! I'm fairly indifferent about Duffy - I don't hate him like some fans but I'm not buying a Duffy bear or anything either. But the one that you met seemed pretty awesome!

Yes, I didn't even realize that Poke was out there. (We're on an nickname basis.) And Dinosaur scares the crap out of me. I used to do it every trip just because it was there, but then I had to stop because I would just close my eyes and scream the whole time! We bought the picture from the first time we rode it when I was 11. I wish I had it here--- I would take a picture of it!

And I'm not sure how I feel about Avatarland because I actually haven't seen the movie. I really wish Disney was doing something original (because that's what they do best, IMO) but I think they chose to do Avatarland so US couldn't. I really do appreciate AK, and I think it's a beautiful theme park, but I just can't get into it!

And Duffy was just so adorable. He spent a lot of time with the kids too--- which shows you how great Disney is at what they do. I wonder how many kids rushed to the Duffy store across the street and bought one after meeting him! (Heck, I wanted to.)

I haven't been very good at commenting but I'm here and reading along! Drunk DF sounds hilarious!

Hahaha Drunk Chris THOUGHT he was hilarious... (nah, he kind of was!)

Hi there lady! We're not even going to discuss how behind I am. Just know that I had to go ALLLLL the way back to page 74! That's just freakin insane. I'm such a horrible friend. I seriously do read every update about the time that you post them.

Now let's get started! This is going to take a while....

Scrapbook:
-I LOVE your scrapbook. Once Upon A Time is one of my fav shows on right now. I'm seriously pissed that there won't be any new episodes until the end of April. I find this just absolutely ridiculous. Don't even get me started on the reruns of HIMYM! Don't get me wrong, I love reruns. I just want some new episodes too!! Sorry.. moving on..
-Your scrapbook layout and everything is really good though. I've never done one either, but the one I envision in my head is GORGEOUS! Just sayin!
-I did save anything and everything we had over those 14 days though.. for when I did get to that scrapbook.

HM 4:1
-Don't shoot me when I say this, but....it doesn't hurt our feelings if we don't get to ride TSMM. It's great and all, but so not worth running through the park for me. We run to ToT and RnR while everyone else is running over there!! LOL
-I totally know how you feel about the exhaustion. The longest we've ever been on vacation was 7 days. It's not that I was ready to go.. it was just different? I guess?!
-Aren't kids hilarious with their comments?! I don't want them, but I can laugh at them!! Or with them? Whatever..
-I'm not a huge fan of Star Tours either. Shoot me!
-Muppets!! Woohoo!! Funny to me!
-Crazy you ran into someone from your new school district.
-Wow $17 cheeseburger! That's freakin insane. ***? Where are the food pics? You crawled my *** about the ones I forgot for our TR! I promise I'll do better this time though. I have good intentions of doing a TR for my bday!
-I want an Oreo milkshake in my belly right now! THIS is something you should've taken a pic of! My God lady, where was your head! (That's what he said!!)
-Would you still want to be my friend if I told you that we don't watch Phineas and Ferb?
-I LOVE that Chris was chosen to participate. It's like when Charley was picked at AK for the Festival of the Lion King!! Hilarious!!
-I bout died laughing when I first saw these pics, and I'm laughing at his face even more NOW! LOL
-SHAKE IT!! WOOOHOOO!!! Oh.. sorry!
-Yes.. he's definitely giving you the eye.
-We did not do the Cars meet & greet. I love the movies.. just didn't feel like waiting. I don't know. Don't judge me.
-Charley usually beats me at any of the rides where they take score. I think it's rigged in favor of the guys.
-My ears fell off a lot when we took pics. It really pissed me off.
-I'm totally jealous of all the special effect Photopass pics yall were able to get.

HM 4:2
-I feel like guys don't change unless you tell them to. That's they way it usually is with Charley anyway. lol
-We've never been to Le Cellier, but I really want to go.. You're always raving about it.
-I hate traveling anyway. We always drive to most places anyway. We take monorail when needed, but we park at GF and go from there. lol
-I hate when people are rude at restaurants. I just want to slap.
-You probably bout made that chick stroke out!
-I really, really dislike being placed at the baby tables.
-I want that soup in my belly after I eat/drink the Oreo milkshake.
-That's a great server. I felt that way about the guy we had at GF Cafe. He was awesome!!
-OMG! That steak needs me!
-Did you really like the quiche? Seriously? I'm so beyond picky about what I eat. That's why I normally order steak. The worst that can happen is that it's the wrong temp. lol
-Epcot is really pretty at night. I told Charley I want to walk around during my bday trip and take tons of pics.. like we didn't do this every other time but whatever.
-We watched Illuminations once. It's pretty snazzy, but I wouldn't stay and watch it every time like we do Wishes!
-Yay for high fireworks!!

WooHoo You were blogged! That means you're a celebrity! (I knew you were blogged a long time ago. I just felt like it was something I needed to comment on..)

-Those clouds look pretty nasty! But YAY for MK!!!
-We still haven't made it to rope drop, but I WILL make it next month!
-Haunted Mansion is awesome. It's ok you went there first.
-Charley said we're going to Pirates first on the bday trip. lol I always run to SM
-That's awesome yall were in there alone. You should've been making out or something.
-CUTE pics!!! I don't have this one of Donald.
-I told Charley we have to ride Peter Pan next time.
-I really hope they open a lot of the new expansion before our passes expire. We're still undecided about renewing them right now.
-It's quite possible you straight jacked those glasses and never even walked into that damn room!
-That doesn't count when you steal your pics from the internet. You have to take them yourself...I forgive you though.
-I'm just going to tell you that EVERY time I see the pic your GF took, I seriously.. seriously burst out laughing!!!!
-I kid you not.. I just about have a panic attack every single time we go in World of Disney. It's insane in there!!
-You should've demanded a manager to explain where The My Lil Pony gear went!

HM 5:2
-AHHHHHH I'm so ready for the Memorial weekend trip too!! It's going to be so much fun meeting all of you!!!
-Charley was standing outside with the dogs and was swinging his arms around... his ring flew off into the grass. He realized this a couple of hours later. I yelled at him and told him he was never going to find that damn ring in the yard. It didn't take him 3 mins to find it..
-I think we bought 1 wedding ornament. I want to get some socks next time! They're sooo cute. I forgot to go back the last time we were there.
-Chris was def already tipsey before yall even went inside! That's how I would be if I had a drink before.
-Those seats piss me off. That's just flippin ridiculous.
-Beer is soooo nasty to me. UGH! Charley likes it alright.. but not much.
-He is def feeling the effects of the alcohol!!!!
-Those pics are so funny! He looks so drunk!
-You should've slapped him and told him to snap out of it! LOL
-Don't you just love the apologizing?!
-Yay for the great view!

HM 6:1
-I would've been parked by the toilet too!! That's why I don't drink. lol
-I can't believe your scared of Dinosaur. I love that ride. It jerks you around quite a bit though.
-I love your pics!
-I love Pooh, but I LOVE Eeyore!! He's soooo sweet! I think he loves me too.
-You seriously need to back up off my man! Do you know where I'm having my bday dinner? The Crystal Palace!! AHHHH!!! LOL I'm not kidding though. I love that place!
-I don't like when they rush you for pics.
-We took pics with that airbus! We love watching American Pickers!
-I don't think I've ever seen the entire movie A Bug's Life. I've watched large portions of it, I know.
-Aren't the bunnies just the sweetest?!
-I can't believe your all saying this about AK. You're making me so angry!!!! I love it there!! I know it doesn't have all the fancy rides and crap. BUT it has the animals!! They're soooo cute!! The layout of the trees and all the coverage is what makes it so hot in that park IMO.

Jennifer, my love! I missed you. I thought you hated me. (I am being a little dramatic here.) All right, I got my MS Word document open and I am ready to reply!

-I really like Once Upon a Time too! I think some of the episodes are kind of “meh” but that Red Riding episode? Amazing. Also, I miss HIMYM. I need more Jason Segal in my life. I’ve been watching the re-runs on netflix lately.
-I’ll do your scrapbook for you!
-I am too lazy to divide by day, so forgive me.
-Nah, I understand that TSMM isn’t everyone’s favorite ride. I used to be too afraid of TOT, but I love it now.
-I’m also a little eh on ST. I like to do it once per trip, but I’m okay if it’s just once!
-I really should have taken pics of the Sci Fi food. I know what it was! Those tables are just so tiny it was just a hassle even to move.
-You don’t watch Phineas?!? You really should. I know you. You would LOVE it.
-I am in love with the pics of Chris as the King. I guess that makes me the Queen!!!
-Oh! We always ask the PhotoPass people for special effects! Make sure you ask next time.
-If you notice, Chris wore the same button up shirt every single day. He called it his Disney Uniform.
-Mmm I want soup now, thanks to your comments.
-I did really like the quiche! The leeks were really creamy.
-I am excited for your bday trip, btw!
-You haven’t made it for rope drop?! Get your butt up, woman. Because Jackie says so.
-Um… we definitely didn’t make out in the stretching room… nope….
-You really should renew your APs. You go all the time! And you’ll get a renewal discount.
-My grandfather is the world’s greatest photographer. I was in a play junior year of HS, and he brought his camcorder. He focused on the wrong girl the entire time because he couldn’t tell who I was. (The other girl looked nothing like me.) Oh yes.
-HIS RING FLEW INTO THE GRASS?!??! Boys. I am so glad he found it!
-I kind of want more socks too. Disney socks make me happy. It’s like you’re an adult on the outside, but a kid on the inside. Kind of like real life!
-Yeah, Chris was sooo drunk. At least he was a friendly one!
-LOL! Pfftt. Eeyore is MY man! You have the baby elephant and the baby rhino.
-Yay another Pickers fan! Mike was talking at a theatre down the street, but tickets were $50 a piece. I think I’d pay that for Rick Harrison, but not for Mike from Pickers.
-I was so afraid you’d de-friend me after my animal comments. ☹ Don’t break up with meeeee.
-I’m really picky about pizza too. But it’s good, I promise.
-We weren’t belligerent drunks or making a scene. We were just silllly.
-The bears DO look so handsome with the groom ears on. They must know it too.
-WOOHOO I AM ALL CAUGHT UP TOO!

I can’t wait to meet you next month either! I’m a little awkward at first too. Also, our flight leaves at 5:55am, so I might be just a little sleepy by then. But I am SO excited.

I love all of these pictures!! The drunk pictures crack me up! We've never eaten at Via Napoli, but plan on trying it next month. Your pizzas look soooo yummy. I can't wait to try it!

I'm excited you're trying it next month! I can't wait for pics from your wedding. Did I ever tell you that I saw a bride on Shipwreck Beach during my site visit trip? It will be so gorgey.
