Let it Snope Let it Snope Let it Snope! A Very Merry crowded Christmas! Nov Report updated and over

Soooooo behind here.... I was checking all the time for a while, and then I stopped checking as often... Then holy updates batman!

Loved seeing the resort room...

Hahaha with Tom laying on the hood of the car... I love the theming in this area, it's so fun to walk around and look at it all. If I was to ever stay at AoA, I'd love a cars room.

Love the photo of you and Peanut on RnR... Her face though.... I can't tell if she looks terrified or terrified or terrified ? Lol

And Ariana as the Can Can girl... Seriously... I bet pictures don't even do this justice... So fun and I am so glad she was picked! Just a great memory for you guys!

Miss you tons! Can't wait to read more!

D~
 
All caught up! That looked like one fun meal! Looks like a great trip so far!
 
Great pics at HDDR - I LOVED that show and the food was so good! I could live on just that salad and bread!!
 
Great report! So fun reading your version and Ariana's version! I seriously am dying for fried chicken and sangria RIGHT NOW!!
 

Well, that settles it!! Like I told Ariana, I started our ADR list for our December vow renewal trip, and thanks to the two of you HDDR is now at the very top of the list!!!! I cannot wait. It looks like SO MUCH FUN was had. Seriously, the biggest smile ever on Ariana. Love! Love Love! this update!
 
Yep, definitely was a little freaked out although not right away. I think I was just in shock at the beginning.

LOL!!! probably but it was a lot of fun to watch!!!

I think it was about here where I realized what I was about to do! I think it was even scarier to me since I'd seen the show before and knew what I was getting into!

ha ha ha ha ha ha! That's why you made the best CAN CAN ever! you already knew the routine!

That bra top thingy was quite flattering, wasn't it? And it looked so good over top of my clothing. ::yes:: :rotfl:

hubba hubba.

I actually told my boss this when I got back. Told her I had found a new career and was going to put in my resignation. For some reason she was not amused. :confused3

WHAT? she has no idea what your capable of...

I forgot to mention in my TR but I actually framed it and it's going to hang in my Pluto room whenever I get a chance to put it up.

YAY! i hope it's front and center!


glad to hear this!

No worries, I know how busy you have been. Plus I'm not sure if I really do want to see it. Ah who am I kidding I do but mainly so I can laugh at myself!

It's been insane. seriously insane.

I know I'm way behind the curve here, but I'm just now joining in. I'll slowly try to catch up!

:welcome: So glad your came aboard!!! Hope you enjoy reading along, and joining in!

Hahaha!!! I was reading about your HDDR dinner over on Ariana's TR. What a wonderful time!! That look of joy on her face is priceless!

I know right? OMG i think the show was THAT MUCH BETTER when you know someone up there!

I love HDDR and I kind of wish we weren't skipping it this year. The food is amaze-balls and the show is hilarious to me. I especially love the performer in glasses. I could have sworn I saw him later on in the week we were there doing street performances at HS.

It really is a great show your so right the food is out of this world!!!! I need to go back just for the chicken!
You probably did! I am sure the CM's have different roles! how fun!!!

Oh, by the way, you left out the part where you and your big lug did your sweetheart dance :) Just saying. :duck:

Yes... Yes i did! HA HA HA HA!

Never been to HDDR, but after reading your account and Ariana's, I so want to go to this!

It's a must to do at least once! (now that i have done it) I am now trying to do something new every trip.

It looks like your family has fun no matter where you are. HDDR looks great. I asked Ariana, but maybe I should ask you, what level seats did you get to have such awesome seats in the middle?

Sorry i should have said it!
Category 1

So when you go to reserve you have options of categories along with prices. Well, as you KNOW my family we are not on-lookers we want IN! We NEED to be in the middle of all the craziness!!
I didn't like the way you were seated in the balcony all in a row. How can you talk to one another? Nope Nope. We needed a table so we can all see each other!

Love the snope...

There was an abundance of it!!!!

YESSSS! I never veer right! Always keep going straight!

Nope nope. we are not sheeple!

OMG!!!! That is freakin' AWESOME!!!

Isn't it?!?!?! We were so excited!!!

Yeah, my week was unseasonably busy, too. No good. No good at all. :sad2:

I was NOT used to those crowds.. I was uncomfortable with them. Anything we wanted to do was a 45 minute wait! I know some people here will look at me like i'm nuts complaining about 45 minutes. But you have to understand the crowds we are used to are 5 minutes to niltch!

He almost came home with me. I was very seriously tempted.

same here and i have been watching him on the web site.... :rolleyes1

Hahahaha. I love this!!!

:-)

What! I need details on this!

#8! i don't think mine had the splash of sprite! LOL

OMG! Her face! So dramatic! So serious!

She is funny.. always up for a photoshoot!

Love it!!!!!!!

Excellent!

I really enjoyed walking through here taking photos. The themeing is so great!

It really is amazing isn't it???

Oh shut up, you're both adorable. And as usual, I love both of your bags!!

Thank you!
I hope to get another one before our next trip!

On the other hand, fried chicken is one of my favorite foods! Om nom nom!

It has to be the BEST FRIED CHICKEN for me to have it. i will say... THIS WAS THE BEST! oh my yum!

Oh wow!!!! How fun!!!!

I KNOW!!!!

I've never had any interest in doing this, but now that you've mentioned that fried chicken..... :scratchin

oh.. You must... I know you will LOVE that food.. i have to say i ate it like my last meal.

Your evening at HDDR was amazing. I think this dinner show is always more fun with friends along, especially when they get to be in the show.

I agree! It is a lot more fun when your friends are picked!!! LOL..

We ate there a few years ago and would love to return sometime. :)

I am sure we will go again. The food was amazing, the entertainment was even better! I am sad my main man Clark did not come.

How great that Ariana got chosen, it looked like so much fun and I bet it made the meal so much better for all of you too :)

It was amazing she was picked! made the whole thing that much more FUN!

It was a great room.

I was not really looking forward to being in a cars room all boy.. I was surprised how much i did like it!

Love the photo of you and Peanut on RnR... Her face though.... I can't tell if she looks terrified or terrified or terrified ? Lol

Thank you! She LOVES the ride. her faces are priceless!

And Ariana as the Can Can girl... Seriously... I bet pictures don't even do this justice... So fun and I am so glad she was picked! Just a great memory for you guys!

All caught up! Yay! Loved your updates. :)
DH and I had several seasonal drinks at HS when we were there in November and December and they were awesome.

I love your HDD pics. We haven't made it there yet, and will probably wait until my youngest hits 3. I'm counting down though. The food looks amazing and so fun. :)

I LOVE THAT Ariana got picked for the Can Can girl:cheer2:!!! How FUN for her to go with your bunch:cool1:.
We have been to HDDR one time, my DH was scared to death he would get picked for something LoL so I don't know if I can get him to go back:confused: We loved the food and sangria.

Your kids are so fun & photogenic, I am loving your pictures & titles :jumping1:.

Monica

Oh & I want #7 on the Signature Drink List !
 
So excited I found your TR! :banana: Your kids are a hoot!

My little family is going to WDW this year during the exact week in November you visited in 2015 AND we're staying at AoA so it's been such fun being able to get a little taste of what awaits us. Can't wait to read more!
 
My office computer was screwed all of last week and I fell behind (because we all know that I read along while at work...shhhhh). Your suite is Adorable!

Oh my gosh! What a treat that Ariana was chosen as the Can Can girl! (I'm behind on her report too but will be catching up soon, I hope.) It's always a blast when someone in your group is chosen to participate in a show. I agree 100% with you about the food and the atmosphere. We love Hoop!
 
Haha. That's awesome that she was picked. That outfit is awesome! I would probably freeze on stage and pass out. :)
Looks like such a fun dinner

The drinks are quite tasty aren't they?!?! yum!!!
Thank you I think he would have a lot to watch and would be OK?? You know your child more than i do yet it's up upbeat you might be ok!

I would try and go before they are 3 so they are free.

AND WOULD BE FREE!!!!

It's just a matter of him sitting through it. Most table service meals have to be....quick! :)

TOTALLY understand this yet like i said there is so much going on all over you might just be OK!

Me too.. Just made this whole thing that much better! I know i would have loved this while experience regardless of someone from us being picked yet it was worth every penny to see her up there!

I do hope your week is a little slower than ours?? This is our second time going the same week, you will love it all!! I hope the crowds go back to normal for your week!
Which part of AoA? Is this your first trip?

My office computer was screwed all of last week and I fell behind (because we all know that I read along while at work...shhhhh). Your suite is Adorable!

I KNOW! Isn't she the best Can Can girl EVER?!?! It did make this whole thing so so much more fun to watch! yet i am sure i would have loved it even if no one was picked. I will go again! Your report is what helped on going and knowing what to expect! so THANK YOU!





Well I have been a crabby ol lady this week. Volleyball is just weakening me. i don't know what to do with these girls anymore just DO NOT LISTEN! I am not used to losing and let me tell you i have eaten a gazillion humble pies. the parents are relentless about WHY ISN'T MY DAUGHTER GETTING PLAYING TIME crap. oh i can go on and on with this, i won't.

I will share this:

CLICK ON ME

If you remember I took the two Meg's to Disney for our farewell to Duffy? This is my other Meg, Her mom, and brother Conner. They have an older sister (Mikayla) who helps me coach too. I love and adore this family... such fighters!!!

I am in need of a get away. Hopefully soon with a stay-cation? i doubt it will happen anytime soon. BUT I WILL DO IT!

Alright i want to throw out another update before i am engrossed in re-writing SOP's figuring out infractions and of course making our employee's pay their stupid traffic tickets! YAY I LOVE MY JOB!
 
I am excited your excited!!!!
Thank you and welcome aboard!!! YAY!
I do hope your week is a little slower than ours?? This is our second time going the same week, you will love it all!! I hope the crowds go back to normal for your week!
Which part of AoA? Is this your first trip?

My husband and I visited WDW back in 2004 when it was just the two of us. But we stayed offsite...we were young and trying to save a buck :sad2:. But everything has changed so much since then with FP+ and ever-increasing crowds...the planning is much more intense this time around!

This will be our first trip to the World as a family of 3. We're staying in a Cars Family Suite for 10 nights! We loved the overall hotel theme/decor and the amount of space the suite offered (two bathrooms!) :woohoo:

As for the crowds :crowded:, we plan on using crowd calendars, rope drop, FP+, and ADRs to make the best of it and just go with the flow when needed. I'm hoping 11 days/10 nights is enough time to see/experience nearly everything on our list.
 
EpERcot!

After a LONG wonderful night my little family would NOT GET UP..

again...



Not allowing all this laziness i cracked the whip.. Eat change and let's go. we have stuff to do and PEOPLE TO SEE!

They all had breakfast in our room and i finally kicked them all out and off to my car and head over too:



i was in contact with Ariana, D and Suzi i just couldn't wait to get too see them! They were in the land and about to head over to my favorite purple dragon. YAY!
So we headed right over... As we were walking in I saw them walking off and playing in the area..
You know me!
I was banging on the window and texting like a fool....


With no luck...

So we rode!



When we got off we just missed them AGAIN! I was starting to believe they were trying desperately to ditch us. They went out to play in the fountains. The kids wanted to play in the area. I couldn't deny them!



and



I am somehow missing one?!?! After we played around a little we needed to get to our FP!
Thankfully it was with Ariana D Suzi and Bradey otherwise i think we would never have seen them!


(totally stole that from Ariana)

But look i caught them! Apparently Suzi or D didn't know that i tried to make our FP times together so we can do a few rides together! Of course I would!!! This ride is a favorite for Zack especially!

We went right in and started to make our cars:












Clearly Tom had a camera. Otherwise i wouldn't have any pictures! LOL




This is us I promise







D, Suzi and Bradey made their escape again for the food and wine while we stayed back to play!







We needed on on this!



Coming up next:
Ariana had an ADR to get to and we went in search for a certain missing fish...

Oh i am so glad your going back and staying ON PROPERTY! Just this alone is going to make your trip much more magical! Yes, your right it has changed SO MUCH since your last stay it will be like your first time all over especially seeing everything through your son's eyes! advice? Get him a camera! It will be a load of fun to see how he views it all!!! I hope the crowds aren't bad. I think it was the Food and Wine then the last of the Osbourn Lights that made it crazy!

This will be our first trip to the World as a family of 3. We're staying in a Cars Family Suite for 10 nights! We loved the overall hotel theme/decor and the amount of space the suite offered (two bathrooms!) :woohoo:

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH your SO GOING TO LOVE IT!!! Make a room request!!! on touring plans you can view rooms and room views. I wanted close to animation hall along with a view of the cars themselves. WE GOT IT! and loved it! you CANNOT beat the two bathrooms.. the space is PERFECT your going to love every minute your there! So awesome your there for 10 days you will have time to play at the resort!!!

As for the crowds :crowded:, we plan on using crowd calendars, rope drop, FP+, and ADRs to make the best of it and just go with the flow when needed. I'm hoping 11 days/10 nights is enough time to see/experience nearly everything on our list.

Do you have a long list? I would love to read! like i said above i hope the crowds will die down for you. I believe the crowd was an anomaly due to all the festivities!
 
Thanks for sharing about your other Meg's story. Fighters for sure!!

I feel so bad for you now that you've shared YOU are the one responsible for getting these workers to pay their tickets. That must SUUUUUUCK so much, for lack of any better words....well, I'm sure there are some choice words you would like to throw in :rolleyes1

Love the pic of you, Ariana, D and Suzi (Bradey, too!) So cute!! Looks like Test Track was a blast. The pic of your car made me smile! :)
