Yay! Always nice to get to skip a line ... I guess that's an extra perk of going solo!
I was really surprised! I think she did it too because because I had asked about the
ECV, so she could probably infer that I have problems being on my feet too long. When she realized I was solo, she probably figured no reason to make me stand through the whole line. It was SUPER nice of her!
For sure. You stop to mug for the camera, Zurg wins. We can't let that happen.
Truth!!!
I think I must be the only person who doesn't love the PeopleMover ... maybe I have to just try it at night ...
You should!!! I'm always enchanted by the magic of the parks all lit up and night, though.
Not cool, Space Mountain. That was pretty terrible timing in its part.
Tell me about it! How rude of it!
People be crazy. Seriously. I'm sure there was some logic in his head, but ... seriously.
I don't know if there was any logic, but there sure was meanness.
Yay! CMs really are great sometimes!
Yes! I had some great ones on this night!
Well yes. Free adds some special taste magic to food. It also cuts the calories in half (or at least I wish it did!)
I can get down with this theory, for sure.
College kids are the worst sometimes! I just cannot comprehend how people think this is appropriate behavior in public. I just don't get it.
Of course, the safety aspect is irrelevant ... what's losing a few fingertips to a college kid? (I'm being generous and assuming these kids have heard of the news and may have heard the story - this may not be an appropriate assumption)
I assumed they didn't know. I nearly turned around and told them about it, but I figured they would just laugh at me too. So screw 'em, let one of them lose a pinkie, that'll teach 'em.
Such a nice way to end the night ... I love long chats with PhotoPass CMs! Although mine always end up being with women, not cute guys ... so I'm a little bit jealous.
It didn't suck, that's for sure!
YAY!! I love the Kiss Goodnight - it really is something special, isn't it? It's the perfect end to a night at MK. I'm so glad you got to see it!
Me too! It was about 1:30am and the EMH was until 2am, so I was shocked I caught it, I didn't think it would happen until later! Magical!
Oh yeah, go Billie! I'm not very good at Buzz either, but I love the People Mover at night for the lights too, and during the day for the sunshine. It's a win win for this little chicken ride girl.
It's a great little relaxing tour through Tomorrowland, no matter when you do it. I love it!
Great picture as well, of course! Too bad Space Mountain was being moody... at least you got a souvenir. I think I have unused paper fast passes for Space Mountain and Big Thunder in my collection - at that point of the evening, my feet would not walk back over to either ride.
I still have a couple of those, too!
I think it should be Rudeness Tales with "Princess" Billie, which you seem to be handling with much grace.
Awwwww! Thank you so much!
I'm glad the CM was observant and tried to make it up to you in a small way.
It was INCREDIBLY sweet of her.
Salt and pepper hair, friendly - I think it's just fine to have a Disney boyfriend!
Oh, James...
The boys on Pirates were clearly being b-o-y-s, while James was a M-A-N!
Okay, this cracked me up for reals.
Laughing out loud, not at you, but with you! This is the reason I don't take pictures as much as possible - from the I'm Happy face that becomes Joker from Batman, or the Nice Closed Mouth smile that somehow morphs into "I've just eaten something unpleasant" face. I only hope that in real life that my face moves and looks normal. No one usually runs screaming from me that I am aware of, anyways.
I used to be super camera shy for the same reason! Traveling to Disney solo got me over it, though. I want pictures of my memories, even if I look like butt in them!
"THE KISS GOOD NIGHT!" - Wow, I've never stayed late enough to see this in person. Maybe one day...
Ohhh, it's SO LOVELY! You have to close down the park one night so you can catch it!
Oh My delish-esh-nous the make your own with shrimp is to die for.. and SO dang much i had to take the rest back to the room for later!!!
Yum, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. I'm sold!
they do the projection show AFTER wishes too? How do i NOT know this?!?!
Yes! Not directly after it. Maybe 15-20 minutes or so? Plenty of time to move closer to the castle, while most people are moving towards the exit.
So i was reading on the Dis yesterday Wishes FP it's pretty half and half . Yet the main advice was to not go to the front of the FP and stay back where you have breathing room and possibly able to pop a squat.. I am all over that!
It's true! I was in the back part of it, and it wasn't shoulder-to-shoulder. I would say for photos though, you'd be better off standing. But a lot of kids were plopped on the ground at the very back, and they could still see the fireworks.
today is NO better. on a foggy ugly day in Chicago
Ugh, that's no good for anybody's mood. I wish I could send you some of my Carolina sunshine!
YAY for some pixi dust! there are always 5 good CM's to one bad one!!!
I think that is a pretty accurate ratio! Sadly, in another update or two, I'm going to be telling a nasty CM story.
But only one!
I have them.. we used so many on our last trip!!! you have to make them!!!
I think I'm gonna hafta for the next trip!
Thank you, Mo! That means a lot coming from you!
oh boy... Stalking James in December??? this is going to get good...
Oh gee, I don't about STALKING!
I'll definitely be peeping every PP photographer I pass to see if it's him, though. I told my work wife about him, and she got all "Awww, what if he was your soul mate, and you let him get away!" And I was just like "If that's true, then the universe will make sure I see him again in December." That's logical, right?
And why didn't mr wonderful take your picture for you?!?! Then a selfie with the both of you.. Oh you missed the bucket on this one my dear friend!!!
Ugh, I ALWAYS do. My still-singleness at 34 surely has a bit to do with my weight, but probably more-so the fact that I am really quite socially awkward, and a complete and total numpty when it comes to talking to and/or flirting with MEN! I'm absolutely AWFUL at it, and always blow it. It just NEVER even crosses my mind when somebody is talking to me that they could ever in a million years actually be interested in more than a friendly chat. So I always let them get away.
Oh man...what a day!! Some perfect...and not so perfect moments!!
It really was jam-packed with ups and downs, wasn't it?
I love the pic of you in front of Main St...you look great...kinda star struck lol
LOL! I think I look drunk.
...Oh, James.
And free ice cream! How awesome is that!!
Yes! That was so lovely!
I really have to make a point of staying until after dark at least once...sleep for my DD be damned...it looks so magical at night!
Yes, you simply must! Like I said, give her an afternoon nap if you gotta!
And how cool that they let you walk right on Buzz!!
I know! SO super sweet of the CM to do that for me!
Those teenagers sounded super annoying on pirates though...I'm scared for when my kids are that age...how do you teach them to not be jerks like that...not sure, but I'm working on it lol
Sadly, I wouldn't even classify them as teenagers, these were young adults. They should have known better.
Wow! So glad your day ended on such a great note! And oh my, sweet dreams...LOL...I need to meet some of those while I am down there...only I am a bit pickier in my old age...I need one that owns a house in Golden Oaks, lol!
Bwahaha!!!
I like the way you think!
Stopping by to join you on your TR! I loved your previous one so I was excited to see another from you!
Hooray!
I'm happy that you're here!
I am SO glad you said something to that rude lady. I cannot even! Good on you!
Some people, right?
Aww the free ice cream? A "sweet" way to end the day!!
it very much was!!
There is so much goodness in this update, that I'll just gonna ignore the rudeness--observe (the comments are in the quoted part)....
I love this approach!
AWESOME!! I love when things like that happen!
Yes! It was SO cool of her to do that for me!
Great score! Better then I ever do. One day I will get the max score....maybe....probably not....
Hahaha. Buzz is fun, but I never do very well. However, TSMM? I totally OWN that game. Pew pew pew!
FREE ICE CREAM??!!?? If that's not some pixie dust right there, I don't know what is!
Heck yeah! It was so kind of the CM to hook me up like that!
Love these pictures--pretty lights again!
All about them pretty lights!
Disney love connection! I hope you run into him again! You do, right? Tell me you do! (see what I did there--run into, ecv, He walked into you, oh I crack myself up sometimes!)
VERY funny, Lori!
And yes, I do hope I run into him again, I just hope I'm better prepared next time!
This made me choke on my breakfast! Hilarious!!!
Yeah, I kept cracking up as I was writing that part and using that gif.
The kiss goodnight!!!!!! I want to see it!!!! What an awesome ending to your day!
You need to see it! It's short, but SUCH a magical end to the night!
And that is how we focus on all the pixie dusted wonderfullness that is this update!
Very well done, my friend!
Rude people in the parks is just not right! Why can't folks learn to relax?! Ugh, I think the CM did exactly the right thing.
Right? Common courtesy, people!!!
The CM did make it better, though!
And James?!?! You never know, girl! Never say never!
Haha. Oh, James.
Honestly, though... He was probably gay. That's just my luck.
OK Billie, so when you say you thought about getting your face paint touched up, is that free? Or do you have to pay again?
It's totally free! Just hang onto the receipt, and you can go back to any of the face painting stations in any of the parks, and they will touch it up for you for no additional charge!
OK, this is awesome for two reasons. One, obviously so awesome of the CM to do that.
Yes, she was VERY cool for hooking me up like that!
And two... CARLTON. I just started re-watching Fresh Prince on Netflix and can't for the life of me why I waited so long. As hysterical as it was the first time.
Hahaha. Carlton is my go-to Happy/Excited/Celebrating gif. I have to be careful not to use him for EVERYTHING good in life.
Now you know what to do for next time!!!!
Yes! I am going to work on something to take with me on my December trip. (Maybe have one particular card ready, printed with my full name and contact info... Just in case I run into a certain PP photographer again...
)
HAHAHA, for many this look would be for Space Mountain itself. I love that this is merely for the queue.
It's ALL terrifying!
See, I will just never understand rude behaviour. I just do not get it at any time. But even more so in Disney. But on the bright side, it's probably good that I don't get it.
That's a Canadia thing.
BUT THIS!!!!
LOVING THIS!!! THIS is why I love Disney Cast Members.
Yassss! She was AWESOMELY kind for doing that for me.
I don't think there's any situation in the World (Disney or otherwise) that free ice cream can't fix!
UGH. Your tale is the one thing I dislike about Pirates (or any ride where you share a vehicle with a number of people). You never know who you'll be stuck with and I have had the "pleasure" of folks like you encountered. I know exactly how you felt.
It's so crappy, isn't it?!
I mean, it won't stop me from riding them, but... COME ON, PEOPLE. JUST ACT RIGHT.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the story of James.
I'd love it better if he'd asked for my number.
I preach it often and loud. All it takes is a moment to completely change a night. And the CM's on this night were clearly on point.
Yeah, they were pretty amazing across the board.
Seriously, I can't believe how much your Main Street experience paralleled my final night from September, Kiss Goodnight and all. Amazing.
Really? I'm gonna go back to your Sept TR and refresh my memory now!
Yay for you on having had this opportunity to have a Disney trip while waiting on your other Disney trip!
Yessss! It DEFINITELY made the last 6 weeks or so go by so much faster!
Thoroughly enjoying reading about it.
Yay! I'm so glad!
Love the face painting….Adorable!
Thank you! One day, I will see another solo adult running around with it. Some day!
(And AGAIN, I happened to be at Disneyworld while you were there)
Say whaaaaat?!
Sweet!
