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

[LifeIsDis]

So I am not the ONLY one that likes the Poly Lobby better now!?!?! I thought for sure I was!

Oh my word. That Beaches burger needs to hop off the screen and onto my plate. Now.

We haven't managed a cruise (yet). Hoping to do that someday. I can't wait to see more of it.

Seriously, the new Poly Lobby is SO much better. I never loved the fountain like some people.
The burgers at Beaches are to die for!
I have a lot more coming! I love cruising and I would definitely recommend one.

me too - I love the new version, all mid century fabulous, bright and airy. I could live in that lobby. or one of the new studios.

More fabulous photos. And there should always be excitement for cruise, is there anything better than DCL?!

Yeah, it seems a lot more brighter in the new lobby. The fountain made it so dark in there.
Thanks so much! And yeah, there is nothing better than DCL.

Have you been watching Stepbrothers? LOL

I have actually never seen the movie! I know the line is from that though, as I see it a lot on Twitter.

YAY!!! You're back!!!! I'm sorry for the drama. I follow you on twitter and assumed something had happened.

I leave tomorrow for WDW! We'll be in WDW for a week, then we board the fantasy for a week!

I AM BACK!!!!!! It's ok! It really is.
Oh my god have an awesome time! I am so jealous you are going on the Fantasy.​

 

[dawnmichele]

I saw my friend Shelly, who was on her CP! It was so nice to see her and hear about her job.
​

Hello! That's me! Thanks for mentioning me That was a very fun surprise for me that day!
I'm fine with the fact that you took a disboards break, because I did too. And now that I'm back, there you are with more excellent stories to read and photos to look at. Excellent timing.

 

[scrpbookr]

I just saw Yee Haw Bob for the first time at the beginning of the month. What a treat! I want to go back and take Reagan. We got a couple of CDs and have been enjoying them in the car.

YaY another cruise! Dream is next on my list. I'm hoping to go once it has been reimagined. Just did a 7 day on the Fantasy at the end of September. Fun! FuN! FUN!

As always... thanks for sharing!

Of course! There will be more coming soon!​

March 13th (part 2): First dinner!

We headed back to our room and got ready for dinner and the show. It was the Golden Mickeys on this night, which is always good.

I said hello to my boyfriend on the way there.

We went back to our room before heading down for dinner.

We were scheduled for the Enchanted Garden, so down to deck 2 we went.

Now, we knew some people on this cruise. It was Mum's cousin, her husband, and their three kids. They can get on my nerves half of the time, but they mean well. And their kids are cute. I regret now not spending more time with them (shocking, I know) because I think I would have had more fun hanging out with them and not other people I was with. No comment there.

We sat with them at dinner and one of their kids was not feeling well, which was sad.

I can’t remember for the absolute life of me who we had for our waiter and such. They were really good, and before I forget, our room hostess was FANTASTIC. She was so nice, unlike the one we had last year on the Magic. She was awesome, just like the rest of the crew! Can we please have the traditions/training DCL CMs have be the same as WDW CMs? Just sayin'.

Anyways

I got the cucumber roll, which I really like. It is very light and doesn’t fill you up.

Someone had this thing and I don’t know what it is. Whatsoever. You're welcome.

The scallops, which always hit the spot.

Some meat and such.

Since it was Mum's birthday and all, she ordered herself a cake. Mandatory. It was really good too! We shared it with everyone and even got to bring some back to the room. I think I ate the rest of it. No wonder I gained 5 pounds in three days.

And I am sorry to our room hostess for getting frosting on the floor, since I was chilling on the floor eating cake at midnight....

We headed out, and off to the gift shops we went.

I may or may not have brought this home with me.

I will have more merchandise pictures later, but they had some awesome stuff! I loved everything.​

 

[LifeIsDis]

March 14th (part 1): FOOD! AND GOLF!

Today was Nassau today which is the biggest LOL ever. We do not get off the ship. End of story. With the amount of stuff going on on the ship, it is a waste to get off, especially on a 3 night cruise.

We got up and got ready to go get breakfast at the Enchanted Garden.

I delivered some fish extender gifts after I finished getting ready. I got my exercise in for the day!

They have a buffet at the Enchanted Garden, and here is my first plate. Everything was really good. Those potatoes at the front with the peppers and onions hit the spot.

I don’t remember what we did after that, but my next picture is of ice cream. I'm not shocked.

Ice cream count: #2

We chilled up on deck for a few.

I spotted this and it is so cute!

Ice cream count: #3 (Mike even joined in on the fun!)

Down to the atrium we went to get some pictures.

Next up: mini golf! I think it is really cool that they have a course*!

*9 holes, people

I think the course is really cute. They have a bunch of props on it and it is well themed.

After all of the calories I burned off from playing 9 holes of mini golf, I needed an ice cream.

Ice cream count: #4

We headed back on inside and walked around the ship. And I needed more food.

I love these pictures so much! I wish I had played the midship detective agency game with these but we just ran out of time. Next cruise!

I made a pit stop at the cove café to try a few desserts and I was pretty disappointed. The one on the left is some brownie thing and the right is a cookie/brownie thing. They were pretty dry and didn’t have much flavor.

We took a walk around deck 4 since that is the deck you can walk all the way around.

Wow, Nassau, you lookin' fine.

And then remember when I got even more food? Yeah, me too.

Next stop was the Aquaduck! We waited for about 20 or so minutes, but it is worth it. Yes, the ride is extremely short but still.​

 

[LifeIsDis]

March 14th (part 2): In which I am an 80 year old who likes to eat snails

We got changed and went down to the D-Lounge for some bingo! Always one of my favorite things about cruising.

When I am 80, I will be hanging out with my elderly squad and we are gonna go out to play bingo every week. I already know it. I have started early.

Sadly, we didn’t win any money, but it is always still fun. Especially when B-11 comes up. My fellow cruisers/bingo professionals will know why.

By the time bingo got over, we were about to leave heaven aka Nassau. I was crying.

We went out to the balcony on deck 4 and watched these idiots from our ship run back to get on our ship. We were supposed to leave a 4 and these poops were strollin' on back at like 4:30. There were two people too who had to be carted back on a golf cart. We should've left their butts. Oh well.

And oh look at that. We had to go to Eye Scream next for ice cream count: #5!

They had this really cute display up at Guest Relations for Pirate Night. Like, can we just look at Sparky!?

The gift shops were calling my name since they open after you leave Nassau.

But really. I would think castles also have a ton of room for activities so it makes sense.

We went back to the room and found our towel* animal of the night!

*it was a blanket thing

I don't understand how this is an animal though. He looks like some Jamaican dude with some shades on. It is crazy how much he resembles my boyfriend. I'm not even kidding.

We got dressed, put our pirate bandanas on, and headed down to the pirate fiesta thing on the upper decks.

Work those flags.

After that little pirate show got over, we headed down to dinner at the Royal Palace.

Favorite bread holder thing ever.

OF COURSE!!!!! I got escargot.

And by escargot, I mean that I ordered two portions of it cause I am that obsessed. It is a problem. I enjoy snail that much. I don't know what to say.

SNAIL FTW!!!!

I probably could've eaten another 4 orders of it probably, but I had to hold myself back a little bit.

I also got the French onion soup which was lovely.

For my entrée, I got some meat. I am so descriptive wow. It was like steak. I don’t know. All I was thinking about was the fact that I wanted more snails. Let's be real now.

On the way out of the restaurant, we stopped in the gift shops once again. I spotted this bag and I love the print. I want it all.

It was time for the real festivities aka FIREWORKS!!!!!

Freehand ftw!

I stayed after for Club Pirate, everyone's favorite dance club, with some lovely people.

Then I ate some cake on the floor back in our stateroom. Fun times for all.​

 

[LifeIsDis]

March 15th (part 1): Basically the first ones on Castaway

Last full day on the Dream, but it was Castaway Day!!

Up early again to deliver Fish Extender gifts.

Mum and I went to Cabanas for breakfast, and it actually wasn’t a hot mess like it usually is, which was lovely. I hate when it is packed there.

FOOD FOOD FOOD

After eating, we headed back to our stateroom to get some stuff together.

And I finally have pictures of our door! I don't know what took so long for me to take them.

Actually the best door on the block.

With all of our stuff in tow, we went down to the gangplank and onto Castaway we went!!!!

And lol the post office wasn’t open of course.

We had gotten off the ship pretty early, and when we got to Castaway, there were barely any people there yet. I mean, for crying out loud, Mickey was just standing there waiting for people to give him a hug!

So I had the honor of giving him a hug. And then he nicely offered to pose for me. Thank you, Mickey.

Please excuse the fact that I look like a hot mess.

I met Pluto next because he also had no line!

Can we not kthanks

If you want to meet some characters before it gets pretty hot and crowded, go early! I walked right up to Mickey and Pluto, and I even met more characters like 10 minutes later. It was awesome.

 

[LifeIsDis]

March 15th (part 2): I wonder if ice cream helps sunburns...

We walked around for a few and bumped into Minnie and Goofy! Seriously, it was awesome.

And of course, I needed to get some ice cream after meeting so many characters. I was worn out and needed some food.
Sure we will go with that.

Ice cream count: #6

It was time for the crab races, and sadly, our crab we supported lost. I was sad.

Up close and personal.

It was almost time for lunch (we had walked around and swam for a bit before)!

Noms.

God, Castaway is so beautiful.

You know what is even more beautiful?

Ice cream.

Ice cream count: #7

And you know what is even more beautiful than ice cream?

MORE ICE CREAM IN THE SPAN OF 5 MINUTES.

Ice cream count: #8

I really wanted to walk around and after looking at the map and seeing that tall thing aka the observation tower, I was determined to go back there. Now, I didn't realize how long of a walk it actually is. After walking on the old airplane runway (shout out to the drug runners!), you have to take this long trail to get there and yeah, the view was nice from there, but I wasn't so thrilled that the whole walk took like an hour and the fact that I forgot to put more sunscreen on and ended up with the worst sunburn I have ever had on my back. This sunburn caused me so much pain and it didn’t peel like a regular sunburn usually does. It just turned into one giant scab. So much fun, especially since I spent the whole week after this cruise at WDW.

Yeah, this was the view. Not exactly worth it considering the amount of pain I ended up in.

We headed on back to our chairs and swam around with our cousins for a bit.

A little before we were supposed to be back on the ship, we looked around in the gift shop and I got a phone case.

Until next time!

My homeboy Bob.

​

 

[LifeIsDis]

March 15th (part 3): But I am really cute

We went back up to our stateroom, took showers, and got ready for dinner.

I love these two cuties.

More gift shop pictures.

DUFFSTER!

....but are they trying to take a dump or?

Back out into the atrium...

I'm cute.

I was getting a little hungry, so I needed a snack, and by a snack, I mean....

Ice cream count: #9

I'm cute part 2

I don't understand these next few pictures.

Back in the stateroom to see this view....

….then to Nemo's Reef?...

….and then to the atrium? We were going everywhere, I guess.

Finally, it was dinner time and we were scheduled to go to Animator's Palate! My fave! Even though the one on the Magic is so much better but we won't talk about that.

Our table was right under a screen and when Crush came on, he talked to us and it was really funny. He asked our cousins where they were from, and when they said New Hampshire, Crush was like "The New Hammie!" It was cool.

Now, the food!

Some pasta, ya know.

I also got the cheddar potato soup, which I always love.

(a really dark picture of) Chicken!

Someone's dessert. Pretty sure that is cheesecake.

I got the cookies and cream sundae which was awesome.

I really do love the details around AP though.

We went back to the room to get some stuff together since luggage has to be out by whatever time it is. 10? Something like that.

They were having the saddest show ever aka See Ya Real Soon (whenever you want to spend thousands of dollars for a 3 night cruise again)! That is actually the real name. They had changed it from our last cruise.

I put on my pajamas and headed on down to the atrium.

Oh, Donald.

They were having a few character meet and greets so I said hi/goodbye to my favorite little chipmunks. They were very cute.​

 

[LifeIsDis]

March 16th: "This is a Disney cruise."

Well, it was our last morning. At least I was spending the next week at WDW.

Snow White said bye. Very touching.

We had breakfast down at AP again.

One croissant, por favor.

Of course I loaded up on the wonderful Route 66 (I think that’s what it's called) which is an open face omelet with chicken, peppers, cheese, other wonderfulness. Yeah, it is great.

MR. PRICKLEPANTS FTW.

After breakfast, we said our farewells to our cousins, and we exited the beautiful Dream.

And oh, customs. What a fun time that was.

After getting our luggage, we stood in line to go through customs and it was a GIANT line. I mean, this line wrapped around the inside of the building. We hopped on at the end of the line and when we were halfway through, this woman cuts the people behind us. They don't say anything, but Mum did.

Oh, Mum.

Mum: "Do you not see line? You just cut everyone!"
Lovely Woman: "Oh it doesn't matter."
Mum: "We have all been waiting here and you just cut everyone."

Now, some words were exchanged that are not Disney appropriate, but Lovely Woman told Mum that she should calm down because "This is a Disney cruise."

So Lovely Woman was cursing at Mum but this is a Disney cruise....

Makes sense.

Shout out to Lovely Woman and all of the lovely things she kept saying about us. Love you too. I am glad you are feel more entitled than everyone else.

Anyways

We got the shuttle back to the parking lot and we drove back to our house before heading down to WDW.

Mum had to work for the rest of the week so I was there with ex-best friend.

I'm not gonna say anything else about that.

We were staying at my lodge for the first few nights before switching over to BLT.

Our room was ready when we got there, so we brought all of our luggage up and took pictures of the room.

Now, this was one of the refurbished villas and I don't understand one aspect of this room. Attached to the tv stand (there is a pullout bed under there like they have at the G Flo, the Poly, etc), there was a table and chairs. Where they usually have the table and chairs in the villas was just a big empty space. The table blocked the walkway between the bed and the TV stand. I just don’t understand.

Ok it doesn’t block the whole walkway but???

I LOVE this faucet.

After getting settled in, we went down to Roaring Forks and got refillable mugs for the week. Then, we took the boat to MK.

It was our first time seeing the new areas of the hub! They are beautiful.

We had a late ADR for lunch at Liberty Tree so we headed there.

We didn't have to wait too long to be seated.

I got the chicken craisin salad thing which I really enjoy.

And of course for dessert, this amazing thing had to happen.

We took a spin on the TTA after we finished lunch.

We went into the Emporium and they were selling these awesome bags (they are still out). I love them.

We took the boat back to WL and I got a snack - the Magic Cookie Bar!

We ended up staying the rest of the night in the room because I was in so much pain from my sunburn, and it was just getting worse.

Mum left around 7 to head back home. Woof.​

 

[LifeIsDis]

March 17th: St Patrick's Day aka let me stuff my face with rotisserie chicken

We had an ADR on this morning for Crystal Palace so we had to get to the park pretty early.

But this view made up for that.

Never gets old.

We still had some time to kill before the ADR so we hit up a few attractions, including Astro Orbitor.

It was my first time on this lovely thing and I knew there wasn't a reason why I had not blessed this attraction with my presence before.

When you are in that rocket, it feels like you may die/fall out of it. You are at a ridiculous angle and I was not feelin' it. The view is great, but that's about it.

Next stop was Space Mountain where there wasn't much of a wait. I mean, the wait time is like two dots so I guess that actually means "no wait."

We took a spin on the teacups next, which didn't have a wait.

And then right before it was time to head over to our ADR, we saw Phillharmagic.

Our meal at Crystal Palace was great. The character interaction was pretty awesome and of course, you can’t go wrong with's Pooh's puffed French toast. That stuff is heavenly.

Tsum tsum Pooh loved the food too.

My second plate.
The puffed French toast in the back looks like a rotisserie chicken.

After breakfast, we took a bus over to AK.

It was my first time seeing the new roots of the Tree of Life and they are amazing. *insert heart eyes emoji here*

First stop was Finding Nemo: the MUSICAL! Wonderful show, as always. And shockingly, I didn't take any pictures. I just enjoyed the show for once.

We had a FP to use for Everest after that so off we went to Asia.

If you couldn’t tell, this is Avatar Land. I mean, it is pretty obvious so I don’t know how you wouldn’t be able to tell.

After we saw the Yeti and such, we had a FP to use over at Kilimanjaro.

We still had some time to kill, so we looked around in the gift shops.

Someone buy me this shirt please and thank you.

We also went to see the gorillas and meerkats on Pangani.

And then, IT WAS ANIMAL TIME.

Before we headed out of AK for the day, we went to see FotLK and I asked if we could see over by the ASL interpreters since they were going to be there for our show. The CM let us over, and of course I just sat there and watched the interpreters for the whole time. Who cares about the actual show!

For some reason, we went then back to MK to get some corn dog nuggets. I truly have no clue.

BUT AREN'T THEY BEAUTIFUL

We took the monorail over to the Poly next for Meg to get a dole whip.

We were both really craving mac and cheese at that point so the most obvious thing to do is to take a bus to DTD (excuse me, Disney Springs) and go to Wolfgang Puck Express and order a serving of mac and cheese.

After our little late night snack, we took the bus back to WL and called it a night.​

 

[LifeIsDis]

March 18th: BUT BUT BUT NO HAT!!!

Flower and Garden had just started so we started our day off at Epcot to see all of the pretty flowers.

We went over to the Land to ride Living with the Land and then we got a strawberry shortcake.

We had a FP to use for Spaceship Earth, so we rode that, and then went back out to look at more flowers.

I was SO excited because this was my first year using my 50mm at Flower and Garden and that meant flower bokeh and awesome pictures of flowers. Yeah, so exciting, I know.

The merchandise this year for F&G was really nice.

I mean, they sold this lovely shirt, and it took me about 5 years to understand it.

Meg had a FP to use for Mission: SPACE! so I just sat outside and waited for her.

We had an ADR for Via Napoli in a little bit, but I needed a snack so I got some yummy school bread.

I don't remember what we did before our ADR, so there's that.

We were actually meeting up with Kristen, aka @disney_frump on like every social media platform. Kristen is amazing and I love seeing her. She was telling us about her College Program and all of the exciting things coming up. It was great catching up with her.

Of course we got pizza. It is pretty mandatory.

After our ADR, we said bye to Kristen and headed to the Beach Club where we took a bus to DTD and did some shopping or something idk.

We took a bus back to WL to get a drink and chill for a little bit. My sunburn was killing me and I was about to die. I kept having to put the $10 spray aloe from the WL gift shop that did absolutely nothing for me. I was in so much pain. Seriously, worst sunburn evah.

Even though I was about to die, we took a bus to MGM.

BUT BUT BUT BUTBUTBUTBUT

CAN WE JUST TAKE A MINUTE

We went to Animation (RIP) to meet Baymax but he was having technical difficulties and wouldn't be out for the rest of the day.

We went to One Man's Dream where I did some crying, cause I was in such pain and Walt, duh.

These are a few of my favorite things.

God, this view.

We went to MK for the rest of the night where I got some corn dog nuggets. What else is new.

 

[LifeIsDis]

March 19th: FOUR PARKS! UNO DAY!

Today was checkout at WL. Sadly, we had to leave, but at least we were switching over to BLT! We got all of our stuff together and brought our bags down to bell services so they could send them over to BLT.

Off to the bus stop we went because we had some FPs to use at my fave park ever!!!!!!!!

Have to say, this view makes this park 1000x times better, but let's be real. This park is awful.

First stop was ToT. And I just realized that I haven't been on Tower since this day. But lol I ain't goin' to that park.

After we visited the Twilight Zone, we went over to Animation (RIP again) and got to draw Rapunzel! Oh my god, I miss this so much. Stupid Star Wars Launch Bay.

Rapunzel, ladies and germs.

While in there, we finally met Baymax and Hiro. They were awesome!

There was nothing else to do at this point at Best Park Ever, and we had an ADR to get to at Epcot. And I just realized this was the day we did 4 parks in 1 day! First time for me!

Our ADR was over at Epcot at Les Chefs. I was very excited.

I got the lunch special thing. Whatever it is called.

I got the French onion soup because that stuff is GOOD. And don't ask what this picture is. Why in God's name is it like this? #pro

Of course I got the mac and cheese for my entrée. I was probably clogged for like a week after this if you know what I mean.

And for dessert, the amazing profiteroles!

The service was very good. The place is seriously lacking though since they got rid of Remy. Like, he was the best thing ever but ya know, we have to get rid of all of the good things.

Straight from our ADR, we walked over to the Boardwalk, filled up our mugs, and took a bus to Animal Kingdom, our 3rd park of the day!

We went on one Neck Breaker, aka Primeval Whirl. Good god that ride is awful. I mean, it is right next to Dino the Flying Dinosaur and you can’t get much better than that so

The dance party that is no longer in Dinoland was going on when we got off. They had some really rare and cool characters out! Of course Disney took it away. We can't have awesome things around for too long.

Next stop was Dinosaur, another horrific ride. Good god, I hate it.

McDonalds, yo

At least Mickey's beautiful face greeted yours truly in the dump shop after I almost died on Dinosaur.

We spent all of our time in Dinoland while at AK cause that makes sense. We then took the bus to BLT so we could check in and get ready to go to MK.

ROOM TIME! Sadly, we had a lake view but it was all good.

This was necessary.

We walked over to Contempo Café, got a drink, and then headed to MK.

First stop was the Barnstormer, and then we went over to Dumbo, and of course it started raining then.

I don't think we stuck around for too much longer afterwards. I truly don't even remember. #pro I do know we went on the train.

Lol this is so bad.​

 

[LifeIsDis]

March 20th: Where my lawyer at

This was a very exciting day because...well you guys will find out in a minute!

We took the monorail to Epcot and used our FP for Soarin' first thing. RIP old Soarin'.

I'm tellin' you guys, if they don't bring Patrick back, we will have some serious problems.

Next stop was Livin' With the Land and then The Great Piggy Bank Adventure!!!!!!!!! because it would closing very soon after this and I was heartbroken. I may have shed a few tears because I loved those piggies so much. I think about them every single day and I wish they would come back so I can have one last adventure with them. It is so serious that I made an Adventure Book of our times together.

NOW I DON’T KNOW HOW TO SAVE MONEY WITH THE HELP OF MY PIGGIES BECAUSE DISNEY TOOK THEM AWAY. NOW I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN THAT STUPID LITTLE FOX THING (swiper no swiping?) COMES AND STEAL MY QUARTERS AND PENNIES. I CALL FOR A REFUND.

The only reason we were at Epcot was because a very special princess was going to be meeting guests for the first time ever today! We basically stalked the World Showplace doors 5ever and then I died because it is really no wonder that her name means beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting to meet Belle on this day was so special. She is like my 3rd favorite princess and I love her so much. This Belle in particular was so amazing. I seriously died right then and there. I am actually suing Disney because I died after Belle looked at me because that makes sense. I have the same lawyer as the boy who got bitten by a snake at AK and then his grandmother died right then and there. Makes sense.

Moving on

Belle would be back out in a little bit so in the meantime, we got a present for her at the Boardwalk and then walked back to Epcot.

And of course, we got ice cream in France because duh. It is the best.

When we got back, we saw some familiar faces including Bonnie (bibbidibonnie on Twitter and such). I think we were all crying at that point, especially when Belle came back out. It was a literal sob fest.

LIKE WHY IS BELLE SO PERFECT




We all died. The end. Where is my lawyer

We went over to the Festival Center next to check it out. It wasn't too thrilling. And plus they don't give you free chocolate like they do during Food and Wine so what is even the point of going?





From Epcot, we took a bus to WL because we had an ADR at WCC. On the ride over, Mum called me and told me she was going to stay at home because she was getting sick. She was supposed to stay with us through the weekend but that didn't happen. I started to get pretty anxious at this point because I felt bad that she couldn’t come and I was getting sick as well. My throat was killing me and I was getting stuffy. When we got to WL, I went to the bathroom and called Mum again so I could calm down. Why I always get anxiety attacks at WL, I don’t know. I felt good enough to go eat dinner so we checked in and they sat us ALLLLLLLL the way in the back. Like, that depressing place that isn’t even in the main dining room and it practically next to the pin stand. Not cool.

We got the skillet. Of course. What else would we get.

Heavenly cornbread!!!


Also heavenly.


I started feeling pretty sick again during dinner so I asked our waitress if I could bring some of it to go because I didn’t want to waste the food. She was giving me a hard time because it is all you CAN eat. So if you can’t eat everything, too bad. She let me take what I wanted but she was practically arguing with me and said she could get in trouble for this. Come on now. LET ME TAKE THE FOOD.

We took the boat back to BLT. I was not feelin' so hot at all and just wanted to lay down. Meg went to Epcot for a little bit. I talked to Mum for awhile on the phone and then went to sleep.

March 21st (part 1): My nightmare comes alive in the shape of a fur character

I was feeling well enough the next morning to go to our ADR at Ohana.

All I have to say is I'm never going back there for breakfast. Dinner is another story. I mean, I just went there a few weeks ago for dinner and it was fantastic. It is surprises me this is the same restaurant because I did not like breakfast whatsoever.

This was the only food I really liked. It is like a pineapple coconut sticky bread. It is very sweet and I loved it.

Next, we got some fruit. Yay?

And then you get waffles, bacon, biscuits, breakfast potatoes, and eggs. And that's it. Everything was cold and I could probably get the same meal at IHOP, minus the fact I don't get to bite Mickey's ear off, for so much less.

I can go to somewhere like Crystal Palace, get 4x the amount of food with better options and variety, and meet better characters, and speaking of characters...

The characters were horrendous. Mickey just stood there and looked at me. Like, are you gonna hug me buddy, or do you need a hug? Are you sad? Do you need comfort? Like, whatcha want, bro? Same thing goes for Pluto. He wasn't good. Stitch was Stitch aka crappy. Hate Stitch so much. And now I'm going to have people find my house and torch it BECAUSE STITCH IS SO SPECIAL TO THEM AND HOW DARE I SAY I HATE HIM. Whatever. The best character was surprisingly Lilo. Yes, Lilo. The scariest character there is. She didn't just stand there, thank God.
First of all, she has no neck whatsoever and she is way too tall. Disney needs a face character for her. This whole fur thing is not working out. And her eyes are like ten miles apart, she is like 6 feet tall which ain't normal, and she is a living nightmare.

I MEAN COME ON NOW. WHAT IS THIS.

Don’t go. The end. Like, do you want to have cold, hard waffles while meeting everyone's living nightmare? I don't think so.

After a very disappointing breakfast that ain't worth the cost, we went to MK to get a spot for FoF. They were having two parades a day at this point because of spring break and all of that fun stuff. We got a spot at the train station to try something new.

The trolley show was going on and I didn't realize that utilize the train station as part of their show. So that was pretty cool.

LET'S DO THIS

WORK IT!

Would this be my first choice for a spot to watch FoF? No. Is it nice to change things up a bit when you have seen this parade how many times? Yes.

We went to Princess Fairytale Hall next to meet Rapunzel and Cinderella. So yeah.

Someone wanted to go to MGM next because of God's know what reason. I wasn't too thrilled about that but yeah. I'm not gonna comment anymore on that....

We took the boat to the Yacht Club, got a drink, and then bus to MK, monorail to BLT. #pro

We chilled in the room for awhile and then we started our Monorail Dessert Crawl, cause dessert is more important than anything. I was feeling worse as the day went on, so this wasn't much fun for me. And the desserts were pretty crappy. I don't know what is up with Disney and them making desserts, but it is an epic fail.

First stop: Contempo Café. We got the worms and dirt brownie thing. Not much to say except why can’t Disney make decent desserts.

Second stop: Captain Cooks, red velvet cupcake. Probably the best dessert out of 3.

March 21st (part 2): LOTS OF EGGS!

Before going to Gasparilla's at the G Flo, we HAD to look at the Easter egg display! I was so excited. I love this thing so much.

Enjoy the pictures!

Seriously, the G Flo went above and beyond on the display this year. HOW COOL IS THIS! (I will have more pictures of this "egg" in my next update!)

Dessert was on the agenda next. We got a chocolate croissant, and it wasn't the best I have ever had. It was still good though.

I went back to BLT after this and Meg went to MK. I needed some rest and I was so looking forward to go home.

***

The next morning, Mum came and picked me up because lord, I did not feel well. Meg was going home today too, so I said peace out to her, and then I relaxed on the couch for the rest of the day at mi casa. It was so lovely.​

Thanks for the terrific update!!! Your pics were awesome as usual and I loved the one at MGM with the balloons. (I wish I had your photography skills!!!)

Glad to know there are others who share my dislike of primeval whirl and astro orbiter. Not a fan--at all.

Dying to try that red velvet cupcake-- I don't have enough must have favorite desserts at Disney Lol

Glad you liked it! I really like how that picture came out at MGM. That view is just the best.
Astro Orbiter is a hot mess. Literal hot mess.
There are some great Disney desserts and then others, not so much. The red velvet cupcake wasn't bad though!​
