"Norway? More like No Way!" Goobers' Jan 12 TR! Up.x2 4/6: FINAL THOUGHTS!

[407-W-DISNEY]

Hello!
Your chapter titles are funny! I always get a chuckle...

Love your new ornament...and the sundaes are calling my name thru the computer - LOL

I hope getting extra rest helped your cold get better.....??

 

[okw19]

Haha we are awesome. And you are an awesome friend! Thanks for letting me vent last night while I was annoyed, haha. I think everything will work out, I'm just frustrated with how we're treated and the amount of time and research we put into something like that. Especially when they approached us about the situation in the first place. ANYWAY, thanks again.

You're welcome, you know you can vent to me anytime. It has just turned into such a crappy situation.

No seriously I wanted to put Remy into my pocket and run out. He was so stinkin' cute with his little squeaks and looking at both of us as he chatted away. Maybe next time you guys can try to go!!

I think we will try it for lunch if we make it back down soon. The 3 course thing you guys did isn't too unreasonably priced if I remember correctly.

I know, that apron is so adorable! Yay for OKW! That would've been awesome if we ran into you! I love that Riley got so many stickers. And hahaha you did NOT sticker Anna! You and Matt are mean!

She got SO many and I always felt bad because 8 out of 10 times she was too shy to answer the CMs, take the stickers or say thanks. There were a few CMs that she actually talked to and those were the really awesome experiences for me to watch. Matt and I aren't mean, we are fun.

For some reason I am thinking they have always stopped at HH last? We did have ONE this trip that stopped there first, but it was late at night so I thought that was why. I am sad you guys didn't spend longer there. It's funny to think that OKW was Matt's family's and mines home resort for so many years. What if we were there at the same time?!

Those Earl sandwiches look amazing, and I wish I could have one right about now. That ornament is so perfect for you guys. It's really cute!

I wish you guys would've chased me down!! That's so funny. We were at Ghirardelli before that too! It was pretty busy for us though, so you guys were smart to go when you did. Your sundae looks sinfully good, which is just how I like mine.

Matt is not having souvenir luck.

Your PJ pants look like houndstooth and I like them a lot! I'm such a creep. Also, EoS brownies are good! When Andy and I went in Jan '11 we got one of the cups with the mini brownies in it. I might have eaten all but one over the course of that visit.

Good call on sleeping, that helped mine some.

PS- I JUST BURNED YOUR PHOTOPASS CD!!

 

[katefl]

I am writing this while simultaneously eating my creme brûlée at chefs de France. You inspired me to try this place with your post and it did not disappoint!! Extra bonus I was not counting on since my ADR was mid afternoon, I got to see Remy!!! I recognized his handler from ur photos and about peed my pants with excitement! On to find that carrot cake cookie now

 

[ash-n-brensmom]

Excellent update! Not so epic fail, though. I have done that sooo many times and not realized until I go to write about something in a TR or when I am scrolling through the pics at the end of the day and realize there is no pic.

I thought I was the only one who could here Ghirardelli calling me? In fact I can here it all the way up here in Canada!! It's like I am an ice cream schizophrenic!! We had to get the girls Ghirardelli squares for Valentine's Day when we saw them at the grocery store just so we could steal them from them!!

 

[smalltowngirl504]

GreaGreat update we also ate at earl of sandwhich twice...YUM YUM... I love the Italian one, I love italian subs to begin with, but this one was amazing ... I am on a wedding diet so I am drolling all over my keyboard at this ice cream pictures ... I really enjoyed the Yachtsman but it isnt on my list of places to revisit in 2013... actually very few places made that list... They care cali grill, chef mickey ( for the kids ) Earl of sandwich obviously..and maybe Crystal palace...but there are so many places to go, its hard to want to repeat any when is your next trip planned for?? Can't wait for another update and some more delish food porn

Hello!

I hope getting extra rest helped your cold get better.....??

HAHA, okay I am SO glad someone enjoys my Chapter Titles! They always take me a little while to come up with something funny. I love the ornament, too, it's so cute! What a coinkydink; I hear Ghirardelli right now, "Danielle. DAAAANIELLLEEE. Come baaaaack!"

The extra rest ends up being VERY helpful!

You're welcome, you know you can vent to me anytime. It has just turned into such a crappy situation.

Thanks friend. And nooo kidding, but it'll be okay!!

I think we will try it for lunch if we make it back down soon. The 3 course thing you guys did isn't too unreasonably priced if I remember correctly.

Yeah it wasn't bad at all, like $27 I think?

She got SO many and I always felt bad because 8 out of 10 times she was too shy to answer the CMs, take the stickers or say thanks. There were a few CMs that she actually talked to and those were the really awesome experiences for me to watch.

Haha awww, she's just a little shy! So cute that she would talk to some CMs though. I bet that was adorable to watch.

Matt and I aren't mean, we are fun.

Hahaha okay it was really funny, I'll admit it.

For some reason I am thinking they have always stopped at HH last? We did have ONE this trip that stopped there first, but it was late at night so I thought that was why. I am sad you guys didn't spend longer there. It's funny to think that OKW was Matt's family's and mines home resort for so many years. What if we were there at the same time?!

Yeah see, there were a few times where they definitely stopped at HH first and then again last. But it was okay because the next stop was close! I know, I wish we'd spent a LITTLE more time there. I bet you guys were there at the same time!!

Those Earl sandwiches look amazing, and I wish I could have one right about now. That ornament is so perfect for you guys. It's really cute!

Ugh yeahhh, I want an Earl's Club right now! I love that ornament so much.

I wish you guys would've chased me down!! That's so funny. We were at Ghirardelli before that too! It was pretty busy for us though, so you guys were smart to go when you did. Your sundae looks sinfully good, which is just how I like mine.

Hahaha I know but how awkward would that have been if it wasn't you?! That girl would've been mega creeped! We definitely missed the crowds I guess because it was dead. And that sundae was AMAHZING. Yes, amahzing. I totally stole it from the show Happy Endings, hahaha.

Matt is not having souvenir luck.

No, but he does later on.

Your PJ pants look like houndstooth and I like them a lot! I'm such a creep. Also, EoS brownies are good! When Andy and I went in Jan '11 we got one of the cups with the mini brownies in it. I might have eaten all but one over the course of that visit.

HAHAHA I can't believe you saw my PJs! They are actually Mickey houndstooth PJs! I got them during our honeymoon and I love them, they're so comfy. The EoS brownies are so good. I want one. NOW. Hahaha.

Good call on sleeping, that helped mine some.

PS- I JUST BURNED YOUR PHOTOPASS CD!!

Yeah I just needed sleep so bad! AND YAY I AM SO EXCITED FOR PP PHOTOS!!!!

This seriously is the BEST comment EVER! I mean, oh man. We're talking LIVE COMMENTING HERE! Amazing. I am so glad that number one, you enjoyed the food and number two, YOU SAW REMY!! That is awesome! Armand is my favorite, hahaha. I hope you got the Carrot Cake Cookie!!!

Excellent update! Not so epic fail, though. I have done that sooo many times and not realized until I go to write about something in a TR or when I am scrolling through the pics at the end of the day and realize there is no pic.

Haha I realized it was not really THAT epic, but I felt so bad that I didn't take any photos. It made me really sad.

I thought I was the only one who could here Ghirardelli calling me? In fact I can here it all the way up here in Canada!! It's like I am an ice cream schizophrenic!! We had to get the girls Ghirardelli squares for Valentine's Day when we saw them at the grocery store just so we could steal them from them!!

Hahaha I HEAR IT, TOO! I want some so bad right now. Those chocolate squares are so amazing.

GreaGreat update we also ate at earl of sandwhich twice...YUM YUM... I love the Italian one, I love italian subs to begin with, but this one was amazing ...

Thanks!! I love EoS, it never gets old! Italian subs are delish, I'd imagine EoS would have really good ones!! Oh man, it was so hard coming back and doing healthy eating again. Talk about difficult as I'm looking at all these photos of amazing Disney food. UGH!

We'll try the Yachtsman at some point I'm sure, but we just weren't feeling it. I love repeating our favorites; it's typically a guaranteed good meal! But I also like mixing in new restaurants, too!

We're still working on the details of our next trip (we think we know the dates, but I don't want to get too ahead before it's official as it's going to be a little bit of a different trip), but when we get it sorted I am definitely going to update everyone here on it!!

[IheartDDuck]

I love Earl of Sandwich. Oh man, I could just eat there over and over again. And I typically always eat at Earl of Sandwich and then finish up with Ghirardelli. Yummy!

 

[danimaroo]

What I'm trying to understand is how EoS IS THAT GOOD! I mean my God, it's just unbelievably delicious. I so wish there was one in Seattle somewhere...

I love Ghirardelli. I'd heard such things and then we went and, yeah. Basically EoS and Ghirardelli are a match made in heaven, hahaha.

 

[marDgreen88]

I feel so behind even though I only missed on update! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T LOG ON THE DIS FOR AN ENTIRE DAY.

Aw, that stinks that you couldn't enjoy Old Key West more! Is that the only reason yall went there to catch a boat? I need to do that, ride a boat to Downtown Disney! Everyone talks about how lovely a ride it is. I AM MISSING OUT! OH WELL! MONORAIL!!!

(My apologies... I am really taking advantage of my caps lock key in this post... I will stop. )

OKAY! So yay for Downtown Disney and Earl of Sandwich and Ghiradelli! (Two things I have yet to try!) Are any of those on the meal plan? THAT sundae is what I'm talkin about yall... looks GOOD.

I love the ornament! So cute.

 

[danimaroo]

I feel so behind even though I only missed on update! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T LOG ON THE DIS FOR AN ENTIRE DAY.

Haha don't even worry about it. I'm super behind on like 5 TRs right now!

Aw, that stinks that you couldn't enjoy Old Key West more! Is that the only reason yall went there to catch a boat? I need to do that, ride a boat to Downtown Disney! Everyone talks about how lovely a ride it is. I AM MISSING OUT! OH WELL! MONORAIL!!!

I know, we wanted to just walk around a little bit before going to DTD. We went there because Matt wanted to stroll around for a bit and then catch the boat, which I really enjoy. Because OKW was really his family's "home" on all of their 20+ trips, a little visit was necessary. Also, yes, the boatride to DTD from OKW is wonderful! It's a nice break from the buses.

(My apologies... I am really taking advantage of my caps lock key in this post... I will stop. )

HAHA hello, you are talking to the queen of caps lock at times. It's okay in book when used at the proper times.. and you use it at the proper time!

OKAY! So yay for Downtown Disney and Earl of Sandwich and Ghiradelli! (Two things I have yet to try!) Are any of those on the meal plan? THAT sundae is what I'm talkin about yall... looks GOOD.

YAY! EoS is part of the DDP, which is really nice and convenient. Ghirardelli isn't but it's so worth the money because those sundaes are bombdotcom. You can totally split it with someone, too!

I love the ornament! So cute.

I can't wait to hang it on our tree. I love it.

[danimaroo]

Before we get to Day 7, I just want to warn you that it might be a few days before the next update. So that being said, you're getting a double update to hold things over, haha. I'll kind of explain it at the end of the 2nd part of this update.​

Chapter Twenty-Eight: "So help me God.. If one more AK bus comes..."
Day 7: January 24th, 2012​

So! Day 7 had arrived, and we woke up at 7:15 to start getting ready. We evidently got dressed and all prettied up quickly because we were out the door by 7:41 (I love how I noted it to the minute, haha). We made our way over the bus stop quickly..

Then we sat and waited. An AK bus came and went, and then another. Okay, I started to panic a little bit because we were not seeing any MK buses! FINALLY one showed up at 7:58, but this still had me nervous because BC to MK is a little bit of a longer trip, and I wanted to take a few photos of the castle and Main Street before we went to our ADR!

We arrived at MK at 8:20, and walked up looking for the place we were to go in for our ADR. They let us through on the left, asked for my zip code and then let us go. It was kind of weird! I can't remember if they swiped my card on the little touchscreen thing they had, but I just remember I thought it was weird that they didn't seem to need to know about our ADR or our names.

ANYWAY! We strolled over to Main Street and it was SO cool to be there before the crowds!

We made our way towards the castle and... okay, the STUPID crane really annoyed me but it was still fun to see the castle with very little people around!

We took a few PP photos then headed over to check in for our ADR at Crystal Palace! We love this place for dinner, but breakfast is our FAVORITE here.

We were seated at a table with lots of fun Mickey confetti!

Right after we sat down, Tigger decided to stop by and quickly say hello. I was happy because I hadn't gotten a photo with him last time we were here. Tigger is always intense, and it cracks me up. He kind of squishes you when he grabs your shoulders and you can tell he sure is full of energy!

After we chatted with our waiter, whose name was Kyle (and was also seen in marDgreen's TR! Hahaha), we got our first plates of tasty breakfast!

I got a chocolate Mickey waffle, some of the potato casserole which is SO GOOD, bacon, some other potatoes, a hard-boiled egg, and of course, PUFFED FRENCH TOAST! That stuff is so darn good. But Matt pointed out all it really is is a donut. Hahaha, it kind of is, but I don't care because I'm in LOVE with it.

Matt went with the pineapple, Puffed French Toast, a chocolate Mickey waffle, eggs, and bacon.

Okay, I'm just going to state that it's currently 9:48 in the morning (yes I write my TRs ahead of time usually, makes updating way easier!), and I AM STARVING FOR THIS BREAKFAST! I can't stand looking at these photos! Hahaha.

Crystal Palace was a bit busy, so the characters were taking longer to make their rounds, but we weren't too worried about it since we'd already seen them all at dinner. We just came for a tasty breakfast and also an early start at MK!

I know we got second plates but didn't take photos, lame. Our waiter, Kyle, was VERY nice but I think he was busy because he was a little slow. I also think he might have been trying to buy us time so we could see more characters, but we didn't really care too much.

THEN! Even though we were totally stuffed, Kyle brought us a cupcake and a really cute card!!

This was ADORABLE! The whole gang wished us a happy anniversary and we thought this was wonderful. We somehow ate our cupcake at 9 in the morning, haha.

While waiting for our bill, we had another visitor!!

We then paid for our breakfast and tipped Kyle, and headed out around 9:20. We missed Piglet and Eeyore but were okay with it since they were hanging out with other guests and we'd seen them already!

We quickly realized it was going to be yet ANOTHER beautiful day in Disney...

We decided we wanted to hit up Fantasyland as we hadn't done that yet during our trip. Even better, we could get through the castle (since it always seemed to be closed due shows and stuff)..

I LOVE the colors in Fantasyland. It's always so vibrant and beautiful!

Our first stop was Peter Pan! This is always so busy so we figured this would be the best time to go on it as there was a total lack of a line.

I love it. After Peter Pan, we decided to go on It's a Small World. Last trip this was a first-day attraction for us, but we hadn't been on it yet this trip! I know some people don't enjoy it but I LOVE it. It's a total classic!

Also, every time I go on it I laugh because when I was 6 and my brother was 5, we were in Disney World and went on It's a Small World. My brother was terrified of dolls when we were little, so he was TERRIFIED of IASW. Cried and cried through the entire thing, hahaha.

Continued in next post​

Chapter Twenty-Eight: "So help me God.. If one more AK bus comes..." CONTINUED
Day 7: January 24th, 2012​

After a fun little trip on IASW, we left Fantasyland and went to Jungle Cruise! We LOVE this but just hadn't had a chance to ride it yet.

I ALWAYS laugh really hard at the terribly corny jokes. I just think it's hysterical! Anyway, we were seated in the very front, so we had a very nice view!

Then, we saw it... JUNGLE DUCKS! Gosh we were running into a ton of different species of ducks.

They were taking over!

I always love the waterfall part, because the first time I went on JC last trip I actually thought we were going to go through it, hahaha.

OMG, when I saw this I IMMEDIATELY thought about LOST. YUP, we were suddenly in the middle of the Island. I yelled out "WAAAAAALTTTT! They took my boy!" (Haha you'll get this if you watched LOST, otherwise just ignore this little joke)...

Matt pointed out how when he was little his favorite part of the attraction were the ruins..

After a fun cruise through the jungle, we decided to grab FPs for Splash since it was down (AGAIN!), then headed over to ride Winnie the Pooh.

Holy frijole, what an adorable queue!! I knocked to see if Piglet was home..

I just LOVED the queue! There was so much to take photos of!

We finally went through the ride... OH NOOO EEYORE!

Little Roo was hanging on for his dear life!

We bounced around with Tigger..

Okay, can I just state.. WE LOVED THIS ATTRACTION SO MUCH! It was the cutest thing EVER! I loved how the vehicle bounced with Tigger and then moved along to the waves in the water!

We loved it so much that Matt decided he needed his own Winnie the Pooh..

OKAY! Next up, one of my absolute favorite moments of the trip! Aaaaand, to leave you hanging even further, you'll probably have to wait for a few days until I get my PhotoPass CD, because the photos from this moment are kind of necessary. Gosh, I'm such a mean person, right? Haha. This will also give me sometime to catch up on writing for this TR, and then I can show off more PP photos! It'll be worth it, I promise.

"OMG, when I saw this I IMMEDIATELY thought about LOST. YUP, we were suddenly in the middle of the Island. I yelled out "WAAAAAALTTTT! They took my boy!" (Haha you'll get this if you watched LOST, otherwise just ignore this little joke)..."


This made me laugh so loud! Love it! Last time we were at Disneyland we ran around Tom Sawyer's "ISLAND" yelling for Jacob near the caves, we kept "seeing" Danielle in the trees, and we called for Vincent!!! People stared at us like we were crazy but it was a blast. On the raft back to the "mainland" I think our group said "We have to go back" at least a hundred times!

I think I have enjoyed your TR so much because you guys sound like our friends! Hope that doesn't sound creepy

 

[jecskc]

LOL on your Lost reference. I totally got your joke. We love CP breakfast, too. But we have decided that breakfast ADR's talked too much time in the AM, so we decided not to do them for a while.

 

[dara00]

love the pictures from your early morning!

I'm a lost fan too, pretty funny!

 

[KelsBleep]

Hey! Just joining in! I really feel in suspense now with your last update! I want more!! Oh, and I'll probably just be a lurker. I'm still new to the boards, so I always feel weird being like, "hey! I'm stalking your trip!"

Yup, and now I feel awkward.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Ooooh, I cannot wait to see what comes next!

I LOVE CP and can you believe I MISSED the puffed french toast?!?!? I have no idea how I missed it, but I didn't even see it! I know it was there b/c I vaguely remember Dallas getting it! DOH!

The que looked really cute for Pooh, we used FPs b/c it was so busy, but that honey wall looked really fun!

I love that Matt got his own Pooh!

 

[okw19]

Hahaha I know but how awkward would that have been if it wasn't you?! That girl would've been mega creeped! We definitely missed the crowds I guess because it was dead. And that sundae was AMAHZING. Yes, amahzing. I totally stole it from the show Happy Endings, hahaha.

Hahaha, if it wasn't me she probably would've been a little creeped, but I would just apologize profusely then run away.

HAHAHA I can't believe you saw my PJs! They are actually Mickey houndstooth PJs! I got them during our honeymoon and I love them, they're so comfy. The EoS brownies are so good. I want one. NOW. Hahaha.

Yeah I told you I am a creep! I want a pair!

Good thing you were out the door by 7:41 instead of 7:42, haha. That's really strange how they let you in for an ADR. I though it would be stricter?

I love the early morning pics, but yeah the stupid crane and the stupid scrims over the buildings ruined all my castle pics.

Tigger has way too much energy for early morning breakfasts. That potato casserole looks amazing!! I love potato anything when it comes to breakfast. That puffed french toast/donut looks really good too. I'm so glad you included the tidbit about it being morning when you're typing and wanting this breakfast! What an adorable card!!

Early morning Fantasyland is the BEST! Peter Pan with no line should be reason enough to go to rope drop. It's a Small World is so classic, I don't get how some people have the nerve to say they hate it. IASW is practically the most cheerful, happy ride in MK! That's so funny that your brother was scared by such a happy ride.

We didn't make it to Jungle Cruise on this trip. I am wishing we would have done it and Pirates on our meet night because Anna's never been on it. Jungle ducks! We need a Disney duck hunt checklist for the next trip. How many "species" of ducks can you find?

Splash being down so often worries me. It needs a major refurb because a lot of the AAs weren't working properly when we rode. The queue for Winnie the Pooh was SO cute! We went early one day so we could play uninterrupted. I think my granddad had as much fun or more with it than Riley did. That ride was one of her favorites and I'm so glad because I love it too! Anna and Matt are Winnie the Pooh twins! She got that one too.

Oooh, ooh I know what's coming up! I won't tell. I have the CDs done and they will be mailed in the morning!

 

[danimaroo]

This made me laugh so loud! Love it! Last time we were at Disneyland we ran around Tom Sawyer's "ISLAND" yelling for Jacob near the caves, we kept "seeing" Danielle in the trees, and we called for Vincent!!! People stared at us like we were crazy but it was a blast. On the raft back to the "mainland" I think our group said "We have to go back" at least a hundred times!

HAHA YES! I'm glad someone else totally got my love for this part of Jungle Cruise AND even better, you took it to a whole new level on Tom Sawyer Island. I wish I'd thought of this because I am dying over here right now. I would've been searching for a big ol' statue myself. I would've been dying laughing at the "WE HAVE TO GO BAAACK!"

I think I have enjoyed your TR so much because you guys sound like our friends! Hope that doesn't sound creepy

Haha it's not creepy at all! I find myself doing the same thing when I read a TR I like; I'm like, "Okay yup, I'd probably be friends with this person. Aaaand I hope they don't think I'm weird for that!"

LOL on your Lost reference. I totally got your joke. We love CP breakfast, too. But we have decided that breakfast ADR's talked too much time in the AM, so we decided not to do them for a while.

Haha I am glad you enjoyed it. I couldn't help but start laughing when I saw the plane. CP breakfast is delightful! I think I'll do it again for the early park access. They definitely can take up some time, though, and by the end of ours Matt and I were running out of CP so we could go play in the parks. The one thing I DO like about them is they get the ADR out of the way for the day so you're free to roam wherever you want.

love the pictures from your early morning!

I'm a lost fan too, pretty funny!

Thank you! And yes, I miss LOST a LOT.

Hey! Just joining in! I really feel in suspense now with your last update! I want more!! Oh, and I'll probably just be a lurker. I'm still new to the boards, so I always feel weird being like, "hey! I'm stalking your trip!"

Yup, and now I feel awkward.

Okay wellllll just want to start off by saying I am so glad you decided to pop in! You can still lurk, but if you're ever just dying to comment on something, do it! I like meeting new people through TRs; it's weird until you realize we all have one thing in common.. A true love for Disney! I don't mind, I'm sharing my trip with a bunch of "strangers" who love Disney as much as I do. In turn, I've made a few friends who I hope to run into on future trips.

Don't feel awkward at all and please comment any time you want! I promise it's not stalking, haha.

Ooooh, I cannot wait to see what comes next!

MEEEE TOOOOO! It's killing me to not post it for a few days and I almost just said forget it, but I REALLY want the PhotoPass photos to accompany it. CD should be here this week! Plus, it can't hurt to take a break from writing... It just prolongs my TR and thus I don't have to be TOO upset quite yet about it ending. Including Day 7, I still have 5 days to get through!

I LOVE CP and can you believe I MISSED the puffed french toast?!?!? I have no idea how I missed it, but I didn't even see it! I know it was there b/c I vaguely remember Dallas getting it! DOH!

OH NO! This is a tragedy. I love that french toast. It's like the first thing I grab whenever we go to CP for breakfast.

The que looked really cute for Pooh, we used FPs b/c it was so busy, but that honey wall looked really fun!

I love that Matt got his own Pooh!

The standby was short that morning so we went through it and OMG, it really is adorable! I can't wait to have little kids who want to play with everything. And yes, it was quite adorable that Matt picked out his own Winnie the Pooh. It's so cute.

Hahaha, if it wasn't me she probably would've been a little creeped, but I would just apologize profusely then run away.

HAHAHA yeah, but with my luck, I'd run into her like 5 more times at DTD.

Yeah I told you I am a creep! I want a pair!

Welp so am I because I got really excited someone noticed my PJs, hahaha.

Good thing you were out the door by 7:41 instead of 7:42, haha. That's really strange how they let you in for an ADR. I though it would be stricter?

I know, I don't even know how I remembered the time when I updated my trip journal later that day. I'm so weird sometimes. Yeah, getting in for our ADR was oddly easy. I might've made up the thing about the zip code, but I just remember it being WAY easier than I expected it to be.

I love the early morning pics, but yeah the stupid crane and the stupid scrims over the buildings ruined all my castle pics.

Ugh I know. We at least had luck earlier in the week because the crane wasn't up. Weird. But we just resorted to night-time photos with the castle. No crane in those shots!

Tigger has way too much energy for early morning breakfasts. That potato casserole looks amazing!! I love potato anything when it comes to breakfast. That puffed french toast/donut looks really good too. I'm so glad you included the tidbit about it being morning when you're typing and wanting this breakfast! What an adorable card!!

Tigger was seriously intense! Like he grabbed my shoulders hard and then stuck his face against mine and I was all, "WHOA!" Buuuut it's okay. OMG the potato casserole was tasty. And I love the puffed french toast. And yes, I wanted breakfast so bad from CP instead of my lame oatmeal I was eating at my desk, hahaha. The card was so adorable.

Early morning Fantasyland is the BEST! Peter Pan with no line should be reason enough to go to rope drop. It's a Small World is so classic, I don't get how some people have the nerve to say they hate it. IASW is practically the most cheerful, happy ride in MK! That's so funny that your brother was scared by such a happy ride.

Yeah no kidding! You avoid the crazy mobs of people AND it's pre-"Strollers take over the walkway" time. They park those things so far out into the walkway I'm not sure how people are supposed to get by, haha. IASW is wonderful! My brother was absolutely terrified; he hated any dolls I had at home, too.

We didn't make it to Jungle Cruise on this trip. I am wishing we would have done it and Pirates on our meet night because Anna's never been on it. Jungle ducks! We need a Disney duck hunt checklist for the next trip. How many "species" of ducks can you find?

Oh sadface. We should've gone over after Pirates!! Though it's not as fun as during the day... but that's sad Anna hasn't experience the ridiculous cheesy jokes/pubs. And yes, duck hunt checklist should be made. There were so many different types, it's hard to keep track!

Splash being down so often worries me. It needs a major refurb because a lot of the AAs weren't working properly when we rode. The queue for Winnie the Pooh was SO cute! We went early one day so we could play uninterrupted. I think my granddad had as much fun or more with it than Riley did. That ride was one of her favorites and I'm so glad because I love it too! Anna and Matt are Winnie the Pooh twins! She got that one too.

UGH I know. It really needs some serious love and TLC because it kept breaking down and the animatronics were just.. sad. I remember one day the boat's lights were completely off, the frogs weren't singing... But then the next day it was okay again. Just sad, and I have a bad feeling it'll be closed for a long time during our next trip. Which depresses me... so I'm just not going to think about it!

The Winnie the Pooh queue really was adorable. The whole ride was! I mean, gosh, I just found myself smiling the whole time. That's so funny that Matt and Anna got the same Winnie the Pooh.. He just had get it.

Oooh, ooh I know what's coming up! I won't tell. I have the CDs done and they will be mailed in the morning!

Haha I thought you would know!! I was going to just post the whole thing without the photos but I just really want them to be there because it was such a funny experience. I can't wait to see all of the photos and start posting PP photos along the day! I'll probably also do a bonus post of PP photos up to that point, too. Thanks again for handling that whole thing; SUCH a good idea and I have you to thank for inviting me to do the share with you!
