September 12th (part 2): Fangirling with random people that I just met and yes, I went into Starbucks

After the parade, we went over to BTMR and got FPs.

And then we got a root beer float at Pecos Bills and it was SOO sweet. Like, way too sweet.

Ally and Dave had friends on vacation there so we talked to them for a little bit and one of them was a photographer so of course he was awesome and then he asked moi if I knew who Marty Sklar was and I was like “I JUST MET HIM THIS MORNING!” and he was like “YOU DID?!” So we fangirled over photography and Marty together. It was pretty awesome.

After we talked to them, it was time to go on BTMR and we were in the back and got flung around SO bad. It was insane.

We then headed into Adventureland and went on POTC and then headed to Main St.

Disney flowers >>>

Da pumpkins tho.

We were just about to leave MK and I was like “Ally, have you met Mickey yet?” And she was like “um no…” SO THAT WAS ABOUT TO CHANGE. Like how can you not meet the Big Cheese on your first trip to WDW?!

Once she got in there, she was SO excited. It was hysterical.

And idk where my pic with Mickey went…?! Like that’s not cool.

Some more pics before we headed out…

♥

BUT THE PUMPKINS ABOVE THE FIRE STATION.

We then headed to the monorail and express was down for some reason so we just took resort to the TTC.

And when we got to the TTC, the entrance to the Epcot monorail was closed from the resort monorail. We didn’t know if that was up and running but when we got to the main entrance, the CM said it was fine so I don’t even know.

We took the monorail over to Epcot and first stop was Starbucks… FOR ALLY AND DAVE OF COURSE. NOT MOI.

But I did go inside and have several pics for you. I never even went into Fountain View so I wasn’t AS upset about the Starbucks Take Over there.

I HATE THESE STUPID CUTE CUPS THO.

Here is the inside.

We then headed into World Showcase and got some nachos at the Mexico QS.

They were good, but had WAY too much cheese on them.

And now more pics cause we can’t go two seconds without them.

We stopped in Germany for some CARAMEL!

I got my usual.

We continued to walk through the countries and Ally was being just insane. And she didn’t even have any alcohol that day. Maybe she was drunk on caramel… That’s what I’m guessing.

When we got to the International Gateway, we said goodbye to Ally and Dave because they were going to take a bus from an Epcot resort to DTD.

Mum and I headed to Future World and out of the park.

We took the monorail back to the TTC and then walked to our car because we had parked pretty close. SO NO TRAM AND I WAS SO HAPPY.

And then we headed home to get a lot of rest.

I may or may not have been skipping school again the next day for reasons that will be said soon…

NOT MY FAULT THAT IT WAS LIKE THE BEST DAY EVER.​

Those clouds approaching do not look nice. But oh hi baseball pumpkin!

Moi's only memory of Fountain View is watching some IDIOT take 20 minutes to eat an ice cream cone when I could have been on Spaceship Earth. But I don't understand how you don't like the cup?!

Those chips...I can tell by looking....legit chips. Legit man. Not like the crap out of the bag I eat. But I would want the guac with them.

Yo. I'm sending you on another look for merch mission for me. Do they still have Minnie as Rapunzel in the Germany Pavilion?

I knew you would love the baseball pumpkin.
"the other people"... I DO LIKE THE CUP BUT IT IS STARBUCKS.
Guac with them is awesome.​

September 13th (part 1): Checking into AKL!

We left the house at 10:30 aka the time I’m usually in math class but….

Meeko was very sad we were leaving her. She saw the suitcases coming out and was very upset. I kept telling her it was only going to be for one night, but she didn’t believe moi.

Yes, we were packing. We will get into why soon, but let’s just say that we used DVC points for a savannah view at Kidani. Cause we can.

YAY!

The CM at the security booth gave moi the cutest stickers EVER.

We drove to Kidani and checked in and our room was ready!

Even though the Jambo lobby is incredible, I love the Kidani lobby.

We left the lobby and drove over to the Zazu parking lot to head up to our room.

These lanterns >>>

I know this is a crappy pic, but twin, there was giraffe print carpet.

Here is our door.

I basically pushed my way through the door and onto our balcony and admired the two animals that were on the savannah.

And by the way, our room was on the giraffe savannah. BUNCH OF LIES I TELL YOU…

But really. The savannah is beautiful.

And now some pics of our room!

Wow. Look at that theming…

After we checked out our room, we walked over to Jambo. The walk only took about 3-5 minutes.

GAHHHH.

We checked out Jambo’s gift shop. That place is awesome and they have a lot of cool stuff!

We then headed outside to check out some more animals.

 

[beachmama3]

Catching up on your trip report and TOTALLY JEALOUS that you met Marty Sklar!!! Reading his book right now- he is one of my absolute favorite people!

It was basically the highlight of my life.
Oh my god his book was amazing.​

September 13th (part 2): Off to MK for like the best night EVER!!!

Random AKL fence picture…

…and then we headed to the Mara for some lunch. Even though last time we went there Mum felt extremely sick (foreshadowing…).

We both got cheeseburgers for some reason. They were both fine.

And for dessert we got a peanut butter brownie which was yummy.

I also tested out Rapid Fill there with a paper cup and it worked well for moi, on this day anyways.

After we ate, we checked out some animals that were chillin’ at Jambo.

These little guys were so cute!

There was also a hummingbird out.

We walked back over to Kidani and up to our room and watched Stacey for a little while cause DUH. It felt good to have her back.

Around 3, we got READY!

And I probably should tell you guys where we were going….

About a week before, I came home from school and saw the Disney Parks Blog was having a meet up on Friday the 13th so Mum sent the email and she could bring a guest along and… WE GOT IN!

There was a MNSSHP going on this night and so basically we got to go to a party. For FREEEEEE. So yeah. Of course we got dressed up cause DUH.

Mum decided to be a Mouseketeer!

Someone was excited.

And y’all are probably wondering what yours truly was if you don’t already know via Twitter and Instagram…

KITTY!

The best part of the costume is not in this picture but you will see him soon!

In my journal I wrote: We are so cute omg.

We made our way down to the bus, stopped at Jambo, and then we were on our way! EEE!

They had these giant mickey pumpkins on top of the MK sign.

We got to MK and I basically ran for the turnstiles. I WAS SO EXCITED.

Kind of in love with this pic.

We had to stop at Will Call to get our tickets to MNSSHP, bracelets, and our VIP pass for the meet up. And we were randomly selected to get special villains posters signed by the artists so um YAY.

Wristband!

AHHHH.

We made our way under the train station and I DIED cause this.

We headed to the fire station to pick up the SotMK card because they have a special one for the party and we were giving one to someone and I was keeping one cause it had my loves (aka the hitchhiking ghosts) on it so yeah. I find the game extremely dumb but whatev. And we got another one at our second party (coming eventually) and sold it one ebay and got $30 for it so I got myself a PIN LOT! But anyways…

Here is the map for the party.

We made our way down Main St and to the Tomorrowland Terrace.

Before the actual meet up, they had a bunch of stuff going on including card and coin tricks, pictures, caricatures, and getting your posters which were SICK.

We decided to get our caricature done and they were doing them on an iPad! The CMs that were doing them are artists and were actually doing caricatures at a Disney wedding the next day. Like, yes please.

They posted them on this website for us to look at and here they are!

I think they came out awesome!

We then headed over to Casey’s and if you don’t know what we got, I don’t know what to say.

We had some time to kill before the actual meet up so I took pictures of all the Halloween character statues around the hub.

We decided to just walk around so we went into Fantasyland.

Foreshadowing…………

[LifeIsDis]

September 13th (part 3): "VIPS COMING THROUGH!"

Since my twin was freaking out over no more updates, I have decided to post another one. I NEED TO GET GOING ON THIS PUPPY THO.

We went into Tomorrowland and checked out the stage for the Monsters Dance Party. THE THEMING THO.

It was about time for the meet up to begin so we went back over to the Tomorrowland Terrace.

AND HOLY CRAP FOOD. NOW LETS JUST DIE OVER THE AMOUNT OF FOOD/WHAT THEY HAD THERE. AND BTW UNLIMITED MICKEY BARS AND MICKEY PRETZELS.

IT WAS RIDICULOUS.

My food choices that shouldn’t surprise you.

We had the creative directors of MNSSHP talk to us for a little bit and it was really cool.

And two Imagineers that talked to us about Princess Fairytale Hall. And btw, they said there is a hidden poison apple somewhere in there! (idk where it is)

AND THEN WE GOT CRAPPIN GLOW WITH THE SHOW EARS A MONTH BEFORE THEY CAME OUT (still aren’t out yet) AND OMG. I WAS DEAD.

Oh and then they told us to go over to Princess Fairytale Hall CAUSE WE WERE GOING IN. FIVE DAYS BEFORE THE OFFICAL OPEN SO YEAHHHHHH.

I can’t imagine the feels that are going to come from NY at this moment…

We made our way over there and you could pick which line you want to go into so we picked Punzie, who was with Snow ♥

Now, I know it seems like I was SO excited to see Princess Fairytale Hall, and don’t get moi wrong, I WAS, but I was crying inside cause of reasons. Like, I was going to say this after but, Princess Fairytale Hall is the most amazingly themed meet and greet area at Disney. It is downright INCREDIBLE and the details are out of this world. But I can’t help but think of my Snow and cry.

RIP my love ♥

BUT ANYWAYS.

We got in line and waited for about 30 minutes since they were not ready yet and we were there early.

And A TON of people were coming up to the line trying to get in and I was like “VIPS COMING THROUGH!” The CMs were telling them that it was the press event and I FELT SO SPECIAL.

My crown.

And now moving inside cause that is most important.

Seriously, that place is GORGEOUS.

And I am OBSESSED with these chandeliers.

These portraits tho >>>

It was finally time to meet the princesses so we headed on in.

STOP IT.

Punzie was up first and she was really good.

Sadly, this is the only pic I have of us.

Next was Snow and she looked just like her and had the voice down, but no personality whatsoever. I was kinda disappointed.

AND IDK WHERE MY PIC WENT WITH HER even though she wasn’t that great.

This pic of Mum—well Disney’s pic—is on the parks blog!

They have this book out when you are exiting and it is perfect.

Here is the exit.

We decided to get in line for Cinderella because WE COULD.

These windows are incredible.

 

[leopardmickeyears]

[LifeIsDis]

September 13th (part 4): More princesses, dancing with Mike and Sulley, and HALLOWISHES!!!

Here are some more pics from the queue.

They were doing some filming RIGHT when we got to the front of the line so we had to wait 15 minutes to meet Cindy and Aurora, the “visiting princess.” So I took some more pics. Like, how AWESOME is this.

Basically perfect.

We finally got to go in and both Cindy and Aurora were quick, but nice.

Cindy’s line lets you out into the dump shop, which is actually Sir Mickey’s.

Hi pretty castle.

We headed into Storybook Circus and took the treat trail into Tomorrowland, and of course we went the wrong way. It actually starts at Space Mountain. Whatever.

Then I saw Mike and Sulley jammin’ so I ran over to join them.

And then Mike saw moi and Little Mikey and ran over so we could take our picture. I WAS DYING.

We then headed to Main St and I died over all of the lighting.

Balloon porn: HALLOWEEN EDITION!

We looked around in the Emporium for a few and I swear to god, no ONE was in there. It was awesome.

After that, we headed back to the Tomorrowland Terrace, since they still had that spot until like 10 so um PRIVATE HALLOWISHES VIEWING.

I basically peed my purple leggings for the next 15 minutes. HOLY CRAP I WAS DYING BECAUSE OF HALLOWISHES AKA THE BEST FIREWORK DISPLAY DISNEY HAS EVER DONE AND I AINT KIDDING OH MY GOD.

Just LISTEN to this soundtrack. It is literally incredible and I am listening to it as I write this.

EVERYBODYYYYYY SCREAM HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Like, I could barely handle all of the villains, fireworks, haunted mansion, TNBC, and the narration. It is THE BEST THING EVER. AND THAT FINALE. OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD. LIKE I NEED MORE HALLOWISHES IN MY LIFE.

And of course, I took WAY too many pictures and there is a photo limit, so this is part 1 of 2 of HALLOWISHES. And then more chapters later on…

ENJOYYYYYY AND EVERYBODY SCREAM.

 

[LifeIsDis]

September 13th (part 5): Even more HALLOWISHES and some of the best parade EVER.

Yes, even more Hallowishes pictures. I JUST CANT HELP IT CAUSE I WAS HAVING SO MANY FEELS. And yes I am listening to the soundtrack again. UGH IT IS SO INCREDIBLE. I CANT GET ENOUGH OF IT.
AND THE OOGIE BOOGIE PART >>>>>>>>>

Anyways…

And now to end our ghostly gathering…. JUST SCREAM LIKE YOU ARE TRYING TO WAKE THE DEAD.

You guys don’t even know how bad I was dying at that point. That firework show was MADE for moi. The end.

We then headed over to Frontierland so we could get a spot for the best parade in the history of parades. Before that though, I got a MNSSHP pin and Mum went to go get a pumpkin waffle sandwich which was awesome. Sadly, my pic of it turned out like crap, but trust moi. It was GOOD.

The Dapper Dans—they were called something else but I forget—came around all dressed up and they were awesome. They wanted our waffle sandwich.

AND NOW LETS GET ONTO (some) OF THE BOO TO YOU PARADE AKA THE BEST PARADE EVER.

Also known as the parade with the catchiest song ever.

ITS REALLY NOT SO SCARY!

BOO TO YOU AND BOO TO YOU!

*insert FEELS*

September 13th (part 6): Part two of the BOO TO YOU PARADE!

So let’s move on to some more BOO TO YOU PARADE PICTURES CAUSE DUH. Seriously, I can’t get enough of that parade. It is INCREDIBLE. Like, I can’t wait until next year to see it.

So yeah.

PICTURE TIME!

Like, RABBIT, KANGA, AND ROO WERE ON THIS FLOAT. SO MANY FEELS.

I just can’t.

And um THE LOST BOYS.

Jack Sparrow thinks I am a loser.

AND NOW LETS MOVE ON TO THE BEST PART OF THE PARADE. MY LOVE FOR THIS PART IS INSANE.

Like, stop.

One of my all time favorite pictures I have taken. GAHHH I am in love with it.

And I am sorry, BUT THE GRAVE DIGGERS.

FEELS EVERYWHERE.

The HITCHHIKING GHOSTS are doing the two finger point. I can’t.

IT WAS TIME FOR THE HOEDOWN!

ITS GOOD TO BE BAD!

Drizella and Anastasia were on the back of the skeleton band float on this night because Pain and Panic were actually at MGM. I guess they don’t have more than one costume for them…?

STOP.

Like, the HYENAS.

TREATS FOR EVERYONE!

And that is it for THE MOST AMAZING PARADE EVER, for now of course.​

 

[PolyLover]

I'm going to be there SUNDAY for the MNSSHP Leaving tomorrow and staying at the Polynesian Club (thanks to the bounceback offer we got in August)!! I'm dying, yes. Ofcourse I have 10 million things to do before we leave.

Did I ever tell you we were at the Magic Kingdom on the last day that the Snow White ride was open?! It was historic and a total coincidence!

Anyway hope all is well with you all and you're adjusting to Florida life (I couldn't find a palm tree.....)!!!

September 13th (part 7): THAT ONE TIME THAT I BASICALLY PEED MY PURPLE LEGGINGS

After the parade, we headed into Liberty Square.

The wait time for my love >>>

We then made our way towards Main St.

The Boo to You Parade was just finishing up in Town Square when we got there. And I noticed how short Jack and Sally’s line was.

So we sprinted over there and got in line. I WAS FINALLY MEETING JACK AND SALLY.

Their meet and greet spot was perfect.

NOW LETS GET TO THE FEELS.

Y’all don’t know how crappin’ excited I was. Like, if you have no clue and have been living on Mars, I am in LOVE with The Nightmare Before Christmas. I mean, I am a HUGE Tim Burton fan as it is, but JACK AND SALLY. And when I found out they were going to be meeting at MNSSHP, I basically peed myself because THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE.

All in all, we waited for 30 minutes to meet them, which is NOT bad considering how long people are lining up before the party. SO I WAS SO EXCITED.

I basically RAN up to them and flipped out.

Then I asked Sally if she could use her sewing skills to fix Little Mikey because his arm was like falling off.

Like, I am dead.

Then Sally said if her and Jack ever had a little goblin—I peed myself—then they would have one just like Little Mikey. LIKE I COULDN’T DEAL.

And then Jack and Sally just kept saying “BOO!” to each other and I kinda joined in and IT WAS PERFECTION AT THAT POINT.

MY LIFE WAS COMPLETE.

And then Mum joined in and she is not a fan of Jack and Sally and I was like “um go away cause FEELS GOING ON DON’T YOU SEE.”

I was like crying. I am not even kidding. I MET JACK AND SALLY AND LIFE WAS AMAZING.

It was 11:30 by this time and we sprinted over (well I did) to Town Square Theater to meet the princesses and their PRINCES and guess who just got in before they closed the doors? OH YEAH!

FIRST UP……

RAPUNZEL AND FLYNN.

So yeah.

I asked Flynn what was in his satchel because FOR SOME REASON Mum thought it would be weird if she asked him. Whatever…

And then Eugene took my arm and I was like peeing.

Then he did the smolder and all I wrote in my journal was oh my god.

THEY WERE PERFECT.

Next up was Snow and Prince Dude and I handed Little Mikey to Mum and she kept telling moi to come and get it while I was meeting them. Like yeah I know it makes my costume, but hello, a little busy here. So Prince Dude was like “oh do you need that?” and I was embarrassed and then while I went to get Little Mikey from Mum, I crushed Prince Dude’s foot and almost tripped. It was wonderful.

Last but not least, Cinderella and Prince Charming. They were like “it’s boo all grown up!” Why yes, yes it is.

I don’t even know.

We then headed out because it was after 12 at this point.

BUT NOT BEFORE PICS!

Main St was perfect.

Yours truly.

We made our way to the bus stop but HOLY CRAP the train station looked amazing.

We waited for about 10 minutes for a bus back to AKL and it was almost 1 once we got back. Thank GOD we stayed over!

Before bedtime, I pigged out on candy.

#YOLO​
