Mum and moi take Orlando: the never-ending trip report (aka we are nuts) NEW 5/20 x4!!!

[LifeIsDis]

Hey! That was me! Since we didn't take a picture (how did the two of us not take a picture) I wasn't sure it really happened, but it did! Thanks for taking the time to meet up with me! You and your mom are super fun !

(PS. I will be back in late October.)

Yes it was! Oh my god, how did that not happen?! No problem!
Awesome! We will have to meet up again!

Now I know what you guys met by barf salad at GG. I will definitely skip out on that and it really does't take much to talk me out of eating healthy.
I'm sorry you were so sick though! Being sick like that is bad enough, a disney trip that you were looking forward too for so long is even worse!! Sounds like sleeping in and relaxing was the right choice and What Not To Wear. I didn't know they still have that.

You see what eating healthy does to me?!
It was awful. I didn't want to miss out on the trip, but stuff happens and nothing you can really do about it.. And yes, they still have WNTW!

June 16th (part 3): My love, FOTLK

But, guys. THIS QUEUE IS LIFE.

Obsessed with Disney details, the end.

Of course when we were let in, we went straight to the warthog section. #PUMBAS4LYFE
I don’t know if that is a good thing or bad thing though…

Anyways…

Of course, the show was perfect as always.

Crappy pic but it is Meg and I.

The tumble monkeys >

Of course we had to take a Pumba selfie on the way out. It was mandatory. #grain

(photo creds to the twin)

We were planning to go back to AKL so we made our way to the front of the park.

But first, picture time!

We are cute.

 

[tcarrick12]

Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing!

June 16th (part 4): #msephostagesituation2014/"I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!"

We took the bus back to AKL and went up to the room. We had to get our tripods of course.

But, we had some visitors outside.

CHANGE THOSE LENSES!

All of a sudden, I saw something and couldn’t believe my eyes.

Strut yo stuff.

After we spent some time looking at the giraffes and the famous creature, the Pooh Bear, we went down to the bus stop to take a bus back to AK and then a bus over to the Fort. Yes, we canceled our ADR but we decided to go to Trails End To Go.

Hawt.

Cause we are cute

(photo creds to the twin)

SASSSSSYYY ft the Cumquat (RIP)

(photo creds to the twin)

We got to the Fort and then took a bus back to Settlement.

We ordered our food and then sat on the porch. Meg’s food took a little longer though for some reason. Her buzzer went off but they messed up. She got some apples and caramel for free for the mess up.

But I got Cookie Gourmet with my kid’s meal (don’t ask) SO IN YO FACE, MEG!

Anyways… we had some laughs while we ate. I thought Meg was going to fall off her chair.

Remember that one time that two people fell off their ECV and it almost like tipped over? Yeah.

After we finished eating, we took the boat to MK and headed in the park.

It was nine. Aka time for MSEP.

For some ridiculous reason, backstage wasn’t open by Tony’s and I had no clue why not. It is ALWAYS open. Even when it isn’t that busy. And I could tell that it was going to be busy from the moment we stepped into the park.

We went through the Confectionery and it isn’t like the Emporium where you can go all the way down Main St. But like we don’t already know that.

So we exited by Art of Disney and then we just stopped. Couldn’t move whatsoever.

And here comes my rant/complaining/more rants.

We got stopped right outside of Crystal Arts. We tried to make our way down the sidewalk but there were so many people that it was just impossible to do so.

You had people coming from every which way, people trying to push, people watching the worst the parade ever, people not knowing what to do, and then us, people just standing there.

I was starting to get claustrophobic and I was getting really hot because there were so many people around, there was like 100% humidity, and I had some guy’s arms touching me and that was just nasty.

And then we have Park Ops aka the people who just gave up and left. And when they did try to tell us to move (the one time they did), it’s not like we actually could. Then there was the CM who was blocking the door to Crystal Arts. Good job, Park Ops! I always knew I hated you! And I am sorry, but they could’ve opened the backstage door on Center Street to get people out of there. But we can’t have nice things.

When MSEP finally got over, people started flooding into the streets and we still couldn’t go anywhere. I needed AC because I was so hot so we tried to go into Crystal Arts but that place was insane. And going in there was probably not the best idea we had.

We were right by the door trying to go to the street when this woman started yelling and pushing.

“I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!”

What.

She already looked insane, but this was ridiculous. She was full on screaming and yelling. Um lady, we are all going to the same place.

We finally made our way down to tomorrowland to get some fresh air. Meg had to use the bathroom or someone did and I heard something coming our way.

“I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!”

Um, lady, where we you since you pushed way ahead of us?! I don’t even know.

We escaped that craziness and made our way over to the Tangled Toilets, because we had important stuff to do. And I don’t mean that.

IT WAS WISHES TIME!

We had trouble at first finding a good spot where we could see the fireworks without having the tree in our way. Oh whale.

My favorite finale shot I have gotten of wishes.

After Wishes got over, we carried our tripods over to Dumbo because of reasons.

Libby was working so we said hi to her before her break.

We then went over to Tomorrowland to take some shots.

While I was taking pictures, this family approached me and the daughter was like “TAKE MY PICTURE!”

What

The mother handed me her Memory Maker card and said “I have only six shots on this thing! Can you take some of us?”

I just stared at them and the daughter was like “I don’t think she is one of those people…” and then they walked away.

Apparently, I am a PP so everyone come find me in MK. You’re welcome.

We wanted to head back to Kidani to take some pictures of the lobby so we headed out to the bus stop.

Mum really wanted to stop at Guest Relations and complain about what happened during MSEP, but the line was wicked long. So she got the "I ain't messing around" email address from someone we know and sent an email. The response was a total joke though (someone did actually read it though). And can we talk about how they actually looked Mum's name up because the woman said something about how we are APs when Mum never even said that in her email. I am just sayin'.
Mum stated that it was a very "unsafe situation" and when Disney sees that something is not safe, they mean business. Safe D begins with them as a company, but not Park Ops. I guess.

We headed down to the bus and when we were waiting in line, Mum turned around and saw someone that looked very familiar.

It was Crazy Lady. Oh lawd help us.

And why was she even staying at AKL?!

I was really hoping that she wouldn’t get on our bus because I could only imagine what would happen.

“BUS DRIVER I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM SO PULL THIS BUS OVER SO I CAN GO PEE IN A BUSH!”

I could see that happening.

But instead, we got something else.

We had to stand near the back door and could see Crazy Lady from where we were. She had a daughter who was around seven.

She said to some random woman that she didn’t even know “can my daughter just squeeze in here?”

Cause that is what you ask a random stranger.

Her daughter sat down and was practically sitting on this woman and her daughter.

And correction (thank you, twin): She actually asked if her daughter could sit on this woman/daughter's lap.

"CAN I SIT ON YOUR LAP?!"

Unfortunately, Crazy Lady got off at Jambo so we didn’t get to see her. For the rest of the night, that is.

We got off at Kidani like I just said, and while we were walking up, we decided that they need to come up with the Seven Dwarves for the parks. Our list is

Smelly
Gassy
Stupid
Rude
Trashy/Flashy
Whiny
Plastered
Pedro

Yes, that is 8 but we are thinking of giving Epcot their own list which would have Plastered on it so

Anyways….

Kidani photo shoot time.

We took the bus back to Jambo and got ready for bed. We had a big morning coming up!​

 

[PanIsMine]

Oh my gosh, this update! I don't even know where to begin! It's funny reading the stories after you tell me most of them.
Love the selfie in front of Pumba. On my wonderful 4th of July, I sat in the giraffe section bc I had no idea what was what in the new theater. Which speaking of, it's amazing.
You and Meg are too cute in the matching shirts.
Love the savannah pictures, especially Pooh.
The one time I tried to go to Fort, I got so messed up bc that place is confusing and my Dad was hungry, which is never good lol.
Don't you just love Main Street sometimes? Ughh, and those CMs drive me insane.
Wishes over there sounds amazing!!! Love the pics!
I've seen Libby a couple of times, but I never say hi for some reason. Next time!
I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM, BUT AFTER TAKE MY PICTURE AND SCAN MY BAND.

I know
Pooh on the savannah was a very surprising sight.
It is confusing; it is so big!
Yes, Main Street can be so magical.
It is awesome from the tangled toilets!
You should say hi next time!

[LifeIsDis]

June 17th (part 1): We can't have nice things/"I FEEL A POOP COMING ON!"

I really don’t remember what time we got up but it was semi early as we had big plans.

I just realized that I really do have #monkeytoes.

(photo creds to the twin)

We headed down to the bus stop and oh my dear god. The MK bus stop was INSANE. There were so many people there and we waited almost 40 minutes for a bus. We though getting down there at like 8:10 would be good if we were going to see the Welcome Show.

Yeah, not so much.

We missed the welcome show altogether and we were late to our ADR.

What else is new.

When I tried to enter the park, my Magic Band wouldn’t work. This was one of the ones that we got in the mail. Thank God I had my card with me.

Our destination, duh. Like you couldn’t tell from our outfits.

From where we were sitting.

BUT BUT BUT, they never did the Friendship Day parade so what is up with that?!

Piglet came around first and just imagine a picture of us with him because the one I have came out like crap.

We went up and got some food next.

The bae.

(photo creds to the twin)

The main man himself came by and he loved out shirts, of course.

Then Eeyore came by.

And then Mr. Tigger!

Meg seems to be enjoying herself.

Of course, we had to take a selfie.

(photo creds to the twin)

Our waitress came by and I got a cupcake… that Meg ate. My stomach was still a little off.

Making a wish.

My awesome card.

Piglet came by again and we got a good picture this time around.

Pooh came by again and we got our picture….

….and then it was time for the best selfie evah! We had been planning this selfie for months. It was going to be us with pooh (duh) and then we were going to hold Pooh’s puffed French toast in it because that was mandatory.

We asked Pooh if we could take a selfie and then I went to go pick up the plate we set aside of PPFT to hold up in the selfie and the character attendant came running over and said that I could not hold that plate in the picture.

Um lady, it is food. Bread and cinnamon, really.

I looked at her like she was crazy.

Like, when we wanted to do our Christmas card awhile back, and how the character couldn’t hold the letter but I could… I can get that. But I wasn’t handing this plate off to Pooh for him (or her…) to hold it. I was holding the plate, so I don’t see the issue with that. But no.

We can’t have nice things.

So we had to take a regular selfie with Pooh and then I went in and put a PPFT border around it, but it looks like chicken. Oh whale.

Photo creds to the twin

We sat there and talked for a little bit and Mum went to the bathroom. Some little girl in there was screaming “I FEEL A POOP COMING ON!”

Well then.

I had to go to the bathroom after her and no, I didn’t feel a poop coming on, if you guys wanted to know.

While I was gone, Eeyore came by again and who knows what happened.

After we were all finished eating and stuff, we headed out.

I handed my camera off to Mum, and I had my 50mm on.

And she actually took a perf pic. Shocker, I know.

“Well you always hand me the crappy kit lens!”

Touché.​

 

[LifeIsDis]

June 17th (part 2): "How old are you?" "um, 15"

We left CP and I needed to go to City Hall to get my Magic Band straightened out.

But the world’s greatest “parade” was passing by…

I got in line and the CM linked my ticket to my MB. I asked if all of my FPs would be there and she claimed that yes, they would be. We would see about that.

Our FP was coming up so we went over to Frontierland.

Our destination.

Of course, my MB wouldn’t work but they let me through anyways.

Thanks, Guest Relations.

We had a FP coming up for 7DMT so we went over to Fantastyland.

It wasn’t quite time yet, so we saw Phillharmagic first.

And what do you know, my MB didn’t work.

Thanks, Guest Relations.

We wanted to meet Gaston but the line was closed so we went into Big Top and then over to Tomorrowland because Meg had some important business to take care of.

We took the path to Space Mountain and the person in front of us said “this is the way to Epcot.”

#stupidguests

Meg had to propose to Stitch.

And then they fell on the ground and… it was obscene.

Jk, it was awesome.

We went back over to Fantasyland and mum had gotten a spot in line for us.

It was time to meet Gaston!

He asked Meg about her bracelets and had no clue what they meant.

Gaston was talking to me and asked “how old are you?” cause of my bday button and all.

“um, 15”

Which resulted in this

#flashy

He asked Meg if she was over 18. It was all good.

And then I was used as an arm rest because 15/peasant.

Very serious.

#flashy

Perf.

And then it was selfie time.

Tears.

Oh my gosh, that outfit!!!
I've never been to CP for breakfast. I need to fix that!
I don't get why you couldn't hold food in the picture either.
HOLD ON, I FEEL A POOP COMING ON!!!




OK, I'm back!
Can Street Party please go away?!
Gaston>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
and he's really good looking!
I had no idea you could get to Epcot through Tomorrowland, that's crazy! The only thing I could think is the tourist knew you take the monorail to Epcot and in DL, you pick up the monorail in TL, but otherwise.

 

[beachmama3]

Great updates! The selfies with Gaston are classic! Love the Pooh shirts too!

June 17th (part 3): #FOFfangirls

It was about two and you know what that means.

We needed to get a spot for Perfection.

It didn’t seem like it was going to rain so yay! But it was wicked hot out and ugh. Not cool. But I would rather it be 100 degrees outside and not rain so.

OFF WE GO!

These costumes >

Heyyyy bae.

Heyyyy bae part dos.

The derp/oh whale pose.

The derp/oh whale pose part dos.

June 17th (part 4): "Reunited" with our "friend"

That nose and those eyebrows are hot.

#disneylook

Meg loved FOF, which is good, because she would have been hurt or something is she didn’t love it.

We had to have our castle photo shoot before our next FP.

We are cute.

Forever not knowing what is going on here.

We headed into Fantasyland and of course, my FP didn’t work. LOL at my Magic Band.

Hint.

I don’t remember what happened during this meet and greet. Something about my birthday because duh.

Then we met Cindy… and who even knows.

Technical difficulties.

And Meg looks high so that’s nice. #disneylook

Why are there so many pictures of us with Miss Cindy. Ew.

We headed to Main Street because we were going to go back to AKL.

But first, Mum flipped out over these baby ducks. What else is new.

And then we needed a snack. What else is new.

We headed to the AKL bus stop and waited about 15-20 minutes for a bus.

We got our tripods in the room and then went back down to the bus stop.

And guess who was at the MGM bus stop.

Crazy Lady.

She was by herself, and it looked like she was doing ok. And by that, I mean that she wasn’t acting like a total maniac. And she wasn’t sitting on anyone so it was all good.

And I totally forgot to say this in the update with the 8 dwarves, but we came up with the saying “Here’s your ribbon” for whenever someone is portraying one of the 8 dwarves. So we are gonna go to the dollar store, get some plastic medals, and hand them out to people. It isn’t mean. It is just stating the obvious. And we are making them aware of their actions. So it helps us so we don’t have to put up with insane people, and it helps them so they know to calm themselves.

Anyways.

Thank god we weren’t going to MGM.

Maybe we should’ve so we would’ve had more amazing stories. Oh whale.

We took a bus to Epcot.

And that is the only picture I have from Epcot because we weren’t there for that long.

Meg saw something in Germany the other day and she wanted to buy it so yeah. That’s what we did.

And then we headed out and took the monorail to the TTC.

 

[LifeIsDis]

June 17th (part 5): Mandatory things and other things like fireworks and such

Of course when we got to the TTC, we took the monorail to the Poly because of reasons.

And those reasons being the next three pictures.

IT WAS MANDATORY OK

And for your information, our waitress told us that the chef has been playing around with alcohol in the sauce for the bread pudding, if you are into that kind of thing.

Anyways, we finished up and rolled ourselves out of that place.

We took the monorail to MK and set up for Wishes in Frontierland because the Hub was a mess. What else is new.

Meg and yours truly wanted to shoot CTM so we set up in the Hub while Mum got a spot for us for MSEP (you will see why).

IM GONNA WRECK IT

The summer edition though >>>

BUT BUT BUT

LET IT GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[LifeIsDis]

June 17th (part 6): The awesomeness that is MSEP and long exposure

My husband aka DA TEARS

We went to go find Mum after CTM got over and we set up those tripods once again.

I call this one “Ghosts and Candy and Those Random People Sitting On the Stairs That Look Like They Are In Pain.”

Now, I hate this parade with a burning passion but when it comes to long exposure and x amount of sparkling lights or whatever the crap that guy says, I am all good. And yes, I know I pay attention.

After that awesomeness got over, we headed to the bus stop and went on back to AKL.​
