"No One's Gloomy or Complaining"-in DISNEY WORLD!~An 11/12 TR!-*NEW TR Link pg 56!!!*

[marDgreen88]

The mission sounds like fun! P&F is such a cute show.

Let's be honest, my favorite part of Le Cellier was the pretzel bread by far! YUUUM. I'm lame. Yay for more Osborne Lights!

 

[Simba22]

Somehow I missed this update! I'm so excited to try Le Cellier this year!

 

[KatMark]

Caught up, I think.

Great update at Epcot (I agree...ornaments are my weakness). Glad to see you got another meal in at your favorite...LeCellier. I really wish they'd open a stand just for the soup.

Hi everyone!

Just checking in, I'm still here, and I am hoping that I can do responses and another update this weekend! I've just been really busy, and I have no time to DIS right now! And when I do, I haven't wanted to use the computer because it's been 8 million degrees here with 1000% humidity, and I have no AC except for in my bedroom lol! You guys know how well I deal with heat haha! Hopefully things will die down soon and I'll have more time to DIS and get caught up with everyone's TR's, I know I've been horrible about keeping up lately, I'm so sorry about that!

Talk to you guys soon!

Hey Jen, glad to see an update from you. Sometimes life gets in the way of DIS time...I have been pretty bad at updating my TR too, even though school is out now.

That's crazy it's been so hot by you. Maybe you should come to Wisconsin. So far we've really only had a couple hot/humid days. Otherwise it's been in the 70s and 80s here-so much better than last summer!

 

[FancyNancy]

I know I'm wicked late to this TR but I'm all caught up and subbing!

 

[Dugette]

Well, first off, don't feel bad about being so busy and not keeping up with the DIS. I easily have you beat. I'm still working on my trip report from October of 2011 (currently in a very long pause, but not abandoned), I'm way behind on my own PTR, and I'm way, way behind on everyone else's. I just caught up on yours by using my lunch breaks at work all week to read, since at home it's always baby, chores, sleep and no other time.

Anyway, I'm caught up with this one now!

See if I can remember my commentary...

New Fantasyland sounds so cool and how awesome that you caught it in a preview! I can't wait to see it and have lunch at BOG. So, so excited. I'm kinda hoping maybe the Mine Train will be ready to preview by then, but not getting my hopes up.

So, you want Tower of Terror and Soarin' in the same park? Sounds like you need to go to Disney's California Adventure, as I'm pretty sure they have that! Although, I have heard ToT is better at WDW.

I also love the Costa Rican Fanta. Definitely my favorite and I wish I could buy it! Also, you couldn't remember the China one - I'm pretty sure that's watermelon. And good.

No more potatoes at Le Cellier?! I'm way behind on the WDW news, clearly. Ah, we're not planning to go there this time anyway.

How long are you staying in December? We're planning the 7th-14th, assuming we can get airfare/discounts. Not sure if you'll still be around?

Enjoying the report and looking forward to more (slow-paced) updates!

Also curious what's all going on with you and hope things are well!

 

[teekathepony]

Hi Jen! Seems everyone's having a heat wave! Hope you're keeping cool, I can definitely understand not wanting to sit in the heat just to Dis!

 

[MEK]

Hope you are surviving the heat. It's really oppressive but is finally do to break a bit today.

Glad to see you are still around and looking forward to your next update!

 

[PlutosRHM55]

All caught up! Hope you're surviving the heat okay now. I'm lifeguarding for the summer so I know how awful it has been on some of those bad days. And yet we're supposed to be flooded out and worried about thunderstorms. Oh New England Weather! Can't wait for the next update!

 

[Nermel9]

I'm glad you enjoyed the Agent P missions. If things haven't changed since it was Kim Possible, then there are only 7 out of the 11 countries that have missions. The 4 that do not are: Morocco, Canada, USA and Italy.

They were cute! Yeah I didn't think all of the countries had missions, but I wasn't sure! I wish Morocco had one, that would be cool!

Glad you enjoyed the WS missions! We didn't do any of the Agent P ones in April but they can't be too different from the Kim Possible ones. Regardless, it would be fun to do the "new" ones too. And yes, like ronmel said only 7 of the countries have missions.

haha, Disney Christmas ornaments are awesome! Have you seen the new princess shoe ones (they're like this year's version of the ear hats they did last year). They are so adorable. If I go in August I will have to get one of them!

The missions are fun! I want to do the rest of them sometime!

I love Disney ornaments! I have seen the new shoe ones, they are so cute! I can see what I'll be spending all of my money on on my next trip!

Hmmmmm - new job? (Since we ruled out divorce and pregnancy)

Loved the update. I have an ADR at Le Cellier on the books for October. Funny how its so easy to get an ADR there nowadays. With TIW it really doesn't matter and I've had a hankering for that filet.

Love you comment about the abandoned F&W kiosk. Yup, never existed. Fortunately the Christmas decorations more than make up for it.

Yeah for adding an extra day and Raglan Rd is totally NOT a bad place to be for Thanksgiving. Heck - I'd eat in the food court at the airport if it meant an extra day in Disney!

Hmm...something like that! My next update I'll get you guys all caught up, right now, I just want to get through these comments and finally do a trip update!

I know, it's crazy how easy it is to get Le Cellier now! I'm not complaining though! I think it's better now to pay OOP for it than use 2 credits, and a lot of people don't want to do either!

Haha, I know right, they just stick that shrubbery in front of anything they want to hide!

I'm sorry 2013 hasn't treated you well so far. Hopefully these next 6 months will bring you better days.

I've been so out of the loop lately (blaming it on the baby) but I had no idea you were going to WDW around Thanksgiving-time. What are your dates? Obviously, Thanksgiving...Apparently, we like to travel around the same time, because I'll be there the 1st through the 8th. The holidays are just too amazing to miss.

I don't know why, but I didn't realize POR was that close to Epcot. I bet that was especially nice for you, since you love Epcot.

Had to laugh at that lone F&W booth still peeking over the bushes.

Thanks! Yeah, this year has been a challenge, but it's getting better!

As of now, we're going from Thanksgiving through December 7, BUT I saw the leaked Free Dining dates, and that week for some reason, isn't covered, so we might push the trip back a couple of weeks. I don't really want to, but there's no way I'm going without Free Dining, it's just too much!

I love that POR is so close to Epcot, it's like a 2 second drive!

I can't wait to go back to wdw to try the new mission!!!! Sounds fun!!!

I miss Le Cellier!!!!!
Last time we are there, I had the pecan pie and it was very yummy, but terribly filing!!!! I couldn't finish it!!!!
Your chocolate dessert looks amazing!!!!!

And yay to getting Brandon to agree to leaving on thanksgiving!!!!!!

The missions are really cute, definitely give them a try!

I miss Le Cellier too! I wish I could just go there right now!

 

[Nermel9]

The mission sounds like fun! P&F is such a cute show.

Let's be honest, my favorite part of Le Cellier was the pretzel bread by far! YUUUM. I'm lame. Yay for more Osborne Lights!

It is, I love P&F! I never see it on anymore though, it used to be on all the time!

Haha, I know, the pretzel bread is to die for! Give me that and some cheddar cheese soup, and I'm good!

Somehow I missed this update! I'm so excited to try Le Cellier this year!

You are going to love it, it's the best! I just can't believe they don't have my cream cheese mashed potatoes anymore!

Caught up, I think.

Great update at Epcot (I agree...ornaments are my weakness). Glad to see you got another meal in at your favorite...LeCellier. I really wish they'd open a stand just for the soup.

Yay!

Thanks! Disney ornaments are the best! Haha I know right? Le Cellier needs a quick service for just pretzel bread and soup!

Hey Jen, glad to see an update from you. Sometimes life gets in the way of DIS time...I have been pretty bad at updating my TR too, even though school is out now.

That's crazy it's been so hot by you. Maybe you should come to Wisconsin. So far we've really only had a couple hot/humid days. Otherwise it's been in the 70s and 80s here-so much better than last summer!

I know, it's insane! Ugh, I'm going to try to at least get back to updating once a week if I can! And I have to get caught up on everyone's TR's, I've never been this behind!

I know, it was brutal! It's still hot but not like it was the past few weeks, so I can tolerate sitting by the computer for a little while! I need to move somewhere where there is no humidity!

I know I'm wicked late to this TR but I'm all caught up and subbing!

Yay, glad you're here, you're not late at all!

Haha, OMG if I had a baby, I don't think I'd ever be able to DIS, so I'm impressed that you can find any time to be on here!

Yeah, I thought ToT and Soarin were in CA Adventure, but I also have heard that ToT is way better here! I'm hoping to get to Disneyland next year sometime, so hopefully I'll get to see for myself!

We're supposed to be going from Thanksgiving to December 7, but since Free Dining is blacked out that week, we might move it to the 12-whenever. I'm not really sure yet, it's all up in the air right now! It's stressing me out!

Hi Jen! Seems everyone's having a heat wave! Hope you're keeping cool, I can definitely understand not wanting to sit in the heat just to Dis!

Ugh, it's the worst, I hate the summer! Give me Fall and Spring any day!

Hope you are surviving the heat. It's really oppressive but is finally do to break a bit today.

Glad to see you are still around and looking forward to your next update!

I survived! I hope that's it for oppressive heat, but we still have August to get through, so I'm guessing it's going to get hot again!

Thanks, I'm going to do an update right now! It's been almost a month, I can't believe it!

All caught up! Hope you're surviving the heat okay now. I'm lifeguarding for the summer so I know how awful it has been on some of those bad days. And yet we're supposed to be flooded out and worried about thunderstorms. Oh New England Weather! Can't wait for the next update!

Yay! Yeah, it's ok now, but as I sit here, I feel it getting more and more humid and it's annoying me! Wow I can't imagine working outside in this weather, I would probably die from heat stroke! Haha, yeah, today it's all sunny and humid, yet there's a flash flood warning...I don't get it!

Can't Stay Away from those Osborne Lights!

Wednesday, 11/14

Hi guys! Ughhh, I know, it's been forever since I've updated, I can't believe it! Almost a month! I never do that!

So when we left off, we were just leaving Epcot to go rest at POR for a little while. We were originally just going to go back to Epcot for the night, but I was feeling pulled towards DHS again to see the Lights one last time, so Brandon agreed to go there instead! He likes the Lights, but he can see them once, for maybe 15 minutes and be good. Me, I can stand there for hours and look at them!

We arrived at Hollywood Studios around 6!



It looked beautiful, all lit up and festive because of the Christmas decorations, but I think DHS is beautiful at night even without the Christmas stuff!

We went in a few of the shops and I admired all of the ornaments and Christmas-y things:



I was going to get a Rice Krispy treat, but I talked myself out of it for some reason! I should have just bought one and brought it back to the room, because you never know when you're going to want a Disney Rice Krispy treat. Like I'd love one right now. But I don't have one. Because life's just not fair.

Of course, before heading over to the Lights, I had to check out the Tower of Terror. It didn't seem that crowded, so I thought the wait wouldn't be too bad, but it was 60 minutes. Boo.



Surprisingly though, Rock N Roller Coaster had a very short wait, so we got to go on that twice!



It was awesome, as always, it's just too bad it's so short!

When we were finished, I had to check ToT one more time, but again, the line was too long.



Finally, we were ready to go to the other side of the park to see the Osborne Lights! We didn't have a lot of time left, because the park was only open until 8 that night, but I didn't have any other plans, I just wanted to see the Lights!

I know I have a few other updates with the Osborne Lights, so I'll just put up a few pictures here:















I love them so much! I'm not sure what I like better, the Dream Lights on Cinderella Castle, or the Osborne Lights. I just love them both so much, they're so magical!

It was almost 8:00 so we figured we should probably leave, since the park was closing, and we walked by the Muppet store on the way out, so we went in so I could get a Vinylmation. I'm not sure if I traded for this one, or I bought it, but I got the Siamese Cat from Lady and Tramp, and I love it!



Definitely one of my favorite Vinylmations ever!

Since it was still so early, I didn't want to go back to the room yet, so we went to Downtown Disney. I was craving a Holiday Sandwich, and we only had so many days left in Disney, so why not?



Yummm...what I wouldn't give for a Holiday Sandwich right about now!

When we were finished eating, we just looked around for a little while, and we went in a store that I've never been in-Once Upon a Toy!



Such a cute store! We spent so much time in there, just looking at all the cute toys! I was so tempted to buy one of these Rapunzel pillows:



I wish I did, looking at it now, how adorable is that?

We went into World of Disney after and looked around, and finally Brandon was ready to leave, so we headed back to POR around 10. It was a fun night, but we were tired! The trip was catching up to us, and it seemed like we had less and less energy each day! So we went to bed to rest up for the next day, for something I had been looking forward to the whole trip, it was finally time for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party!!!

​

 

[Dugette]

Too bad the line was so long for ToT, but that is cool that you got to do RnRC twice! Love those lights! Seems so weird to be seeing them in July, though! Mmmm, that holiday sandwich looks so good right now...and I just finished my lunch! I remember liking Once Upon a Toy too...fun stuff! Look forward to hearing about MVMCP!

 

[Disney9.9.10]

I'm back and getting all caught up! I love your nighttime DHS photos - so pretty! And I'm not really one for vinylmations, but that Siamese cat one is so funny, I love it!

 

[jenseib]

I totally understand your love for the lights.

 

[beachphotog]

Yay! I love Osborne lights! And that you didn't go back to the resort right after, who doesn't love a trip to DTD!!

I just found an Earl of Sandwich in AC! It's about an hour and a half away from me... And when we were in AC, no one else wanted to eat there but I get to go when I'm in Florida, THIS WEEKEND!

 

[PlutosRHM55]

Those Osbourne Lights... I've never seen them in person but I think I could totally just sit on a bench and stare at them for hours. Even after those many MANY trips to see local Christmas light displays, I think I could still love these. A shame though ToT had such a long line after. How does it happen that ToT has a long line and RnRC has a short one?

Love the Siamese Cat vinylmation! Lady and the Tramp has become one of my new faves.

It's funny. I don't think I've been in Once Upon A Toy either and I thought on my last trip I conquered every store in DTD. Well, must make a point to stop by there and may be get a nice Disney pillow for my future dorm. I'm sure my future roommate would appreciate that hehe

 

[MeMom]

Rumor is that this is the last year for Osborne Lights to be at Hollywood Studios. There is speculation that they will be moved to Epcot.

The Holiday Sandwich is sooo good!

Once Upon a Toy is a kid's heaven, isn't it?
I go in there and just follow the girls as they flitter from section to section saying, 'Oh, look!' or 'This is cool!' or 'I don't have one of these, MeMom.'
