Great TR. can't wait for more updates. This is seriously making my withdrawal worse.

Just thought I'd drop in a line and say I'm writing this from my room at the Polynesian!! I'm in the Tahiti bld, directly beside the ttc, I honestly think it's faster to walk there than the bus stop!
I've already been to all four parks, and am spending all day at MK tomorrow, and eventually, a TR will go up!!

Great TR. can't wait for more updates. This is seriously making my withdrawal worse.

Thanks!! Glad you're enjoying!!

Hope you have a wonderful time

Up next; The Castle Show!! It was cute, a heck of a lot of characters up there during that short time! But I can honestly say the Dream Along With Mickey one and the Villians Mix & Mingle ones are better, or at least, I liked them better!! Nonetheless; here are a BUNCH of pictures of it!

It was definitely at this point that Sylvia proved me wrong! There was pointe somewhere at Disney! On the way into the parks the previous day, she asked if she should bring her pointe shoes to the audition, as well as her jazz shoes. After explaining that the audition would not be that technical AT ALL, I pointed out that there wasn’t pointe anywhere at WDW, I have been proven wrong!

After the castle show was done, it was about half an hour to the parade starting time (and the parade started in Frontierland, so it was probably close to 45 minutes until it would reach us). Rather than move and try to find another spot as good as this, or go on some rides to kill time, we decided that it would probably be best to just sit here and wait for the parade!

I am currently sitting in the Orlando Airport, waiting about another 20 mins until I can board my flight home I'm sad to leave, but am excited to get home, work my butt off for the next couple of months & save up more money so I can head back to the mouse again sooner than expeceted (and again & again for different auditions )

Overall, I had an absolutely amazing trip! Met lots of new friens (and made some good ones!) and I could do whatever *I* wanted, which was amazing. It was filled with magic & memories that will last forever. I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy a solo trip, but it honestly was fantastic! I figured I'd drop some previews of what's to come in the TR when it hits (which won't be until I've got the photopass, but that should be soon, I've already edited & ordered it!)

Dream Job...simply inspired me to really kick it into gear, I *will* be that performer at some point in time!!

Instant connection! It was as if Tigger knew he was my bf!

I'd be up for being one of these performers as well, specifically the one in the middle...that would be me if I ever met Gaston

Just walking down Main st, no biggie!

The photopass got the greatest shots, but let's just say, I'm pretty sure we made bffs this trip

Hope you'll all tag along for the stories & adventure!!

YAY TIANA AND NAVEEN!! They're (still) my favorites - so warm and friendly and charming!

I don't think we saw the castle show - we saw the one right before (?) Magic, Memories, and You/Wishes where everyone was dancing to Nutcracker music. Goofy was doing the trepak, that's all I remember! I really like seeing more classical stuff at Disney - it's nice to see something I could (theoretically!) do!

 

[ronnmel]

Awesome! I'm really glad you had a fantastic solo trip and I cannot wait to read all about it. Those previews are great.

 

[shan23877]

Can't wait to hear more about the solo trip!

I'm shocked that you went to see FOtLK!

Hope you had safe travels!

 

[Amunet]

I read your other TR last night and this one today I'm really enjoying it!

Though, I'm still bummed you didn't make it past the first eliminations of the audition Haha I think I'm more bummed then you were!
I think that's what will keep me reading your TRs, I'd really like to see you accomplish your dream ^_^

But until then, I'm having a blast reading your adventures!

 

[nancyjvanwyk]

I am really enjoying this TR and look forward to hearing about your solo trip. My husband I and go every year and we do enjoy the character meet and greets and also just LOVE the mnsshp. We are going in Sept and want to get to the party again.

Tiana & Naveen have always been some of my favorite meet & greets, no matter who the cm's are, they're always amazing!

I'm glad you're enjoying! Haha! I was bummed, but I mean, it was something I went into with a positive attitude, and came out with one too, I've been to plenty of auditions before, it's something you just get used to!

Thanks!! Character meets are what makes the trips I find, it's just so amazing & magical. Guh! Mnsshp is probably the greatest thing ever, I'm SO excited for next years!

Thanks! It was honestly so much fun, I thought it might be a little awkward, but it worked out for the best!

Can't wait to hear more about the solo trip!

The TR will start soon, I'm just waiting on the photopass to get here & we're ready to go!! I know right?! As if I would take time to go see it!

With our waiting done with, we were finally seeing and hearing the beginning of the parade coming into the hub! We jumped up to standing, but made sure to let some small kids in front of us when they showed up! I’m not about to stand right in front of them (although the woman from the family beside us didn’t seem to care one bit that she was pushing people out of the way, and standing while in the front row)

The parade was great! It still loses to Boo To You, but it was great! I especially loved the ginger bread house that actually smells amazing!!

 

[ronnmel]

The costumes and the float, everything looks so great and Christmas-y that you can almost feel the cold winter feel that I associate with Christmas. Then you look at the people sitting down watching the parade and they are in t-shirts and some even shorts and you're like "oh right, it's hot in Florida, even in December!".

 

[shan23877]

Love the parade pics, and how Peter and Wendy look cold! Love those details!!

I love it so much! And it's hilar that they're all bundled up, it's also hilar to see people in their sweatshirts & pants shivering while I'm in a tank top & shorts!

Glad you're here!

Now that the parade was over, we stuck it out in our spot for a bit while we waited for the crowds to die down & just take in the beautiful-ness that was the castle. We had finished pretty much everything we wanted to do at the party, and really just wanted to soak it all in before we had to leave the next day!

Sylvia & I decided to wander through the shops around Main St, I’m not sure if either of us actually ended up buying anything during that time, but we slowly lingered through all of the stores. While we were lingering and looking for any last minute souviners to bring home to friends & family, I noticed someone!! All through the party, I had been keeping my eyes open for Janet (who’s mom2trk here on the disboards) and her daughter Katie, she always has such amazing costumes, so I knew she would kind of stand out. Sure enough, I saw them while we were in our last shop, right before paying, after a little back & fourth with Sylvia (I had NO clue how to go about approaching them) I finally just said hi and that I “knew” her from the disboards, the costumes looked great (the girls were dressed as Anastasia & Drizella) before saying good bye.

Right before we left, Sylvia & I were sure to stop by the confectionary and pick up some candy apples! She got a regular one while I went for the Minnie one with marshmallow ears! SOOO good, I ate about half it that night, and attempted to save the rest, but just ended up throwing it away.

We said good bye to our happy place, and walked over to the bus stop to get on the Disney bus that would take us to our last sleep in the world. On the way home, we were sitting across from a Dad & his family, and as soon as Bohemian Rhapsody came on…well…singing insued. It made for quite the awesome last bus ride. Our night was pretty un-eventful, I had mentioned that I had brought some movies down with me, so we popped our new boyfriend’s movie into my laptop and started to watch Tangled as we packed up the last of our things. However, it was late, and we had a breakfast (and maybe a rope drop?) to get to the next morning, so to sleep it was!

 

[StitchsGurl]

What a great TR! Looks like you had some great interactions with the characters - you and Sylvia remind me of me and my friends when we go to Disney - always a hoot! LOVE the parade photos, and yes, I agree, Boo To You beats out Once Upon a Christmastime! Anyways, what a wonderful ending to what seemed like a great trip!

 

[IheartDDuck]

I hate the end of the last full day. You're always kind of dragging through the motions. At least you still had a breakfast and a rope drop to look forward to.

I have been on the bus when Bohemian Rhapsody came on. And I have sang very loudly.
