PHM 2015-In Pursuit of Cupcakes While Running in Glass Slippers

[momabaarjo]

DISCLAIMER: Usually I like to plan each day to the minute and share my plans. This trip is a little different….we have park hoppers and plan to use them. The only thing certain is TS meals and while we have a few fast passes scheduled we are not worrying about them and if we make them, then we make them. So here are the “plans” that I know are for certain.​

Friday, February 20​

​

Time for the Frozen 5K! Can’t wait to wear out cupcake run outfits! Afterward it is time to Celebrate Friendship Day...a day that is very special to all of hearts as we have come a very long and CRAZY road to get to this day in our friendship...along with a few characters (no not us, other characters) because there is certain to be SOME RUMBLY IN THE TUMMY which needs to be silenced with something yummy …

​

Today we plan to hit all 4 parks…don’t really have a plan on how…but we know we are going to do it. We do have FP scheduled in DHS(totally a must that we get on RnRC with the stepsista…need to make embarrassing mom photos together to post to our dd's Facebook pages as well as ToT) so we know when we are going to be there and we have our must do list for the day…

​

Our Celebrate Friendship Day will also include dinner at Ohana, a dinner over 2 years in the planning. This was the one reservation that there was no way that I could do without them when our previous trip plans went CRAZY…after all Ohana means family and these girls are my family and no one gets left behind! We are adding 2 new friends to the mix, Lisa (Betsy’s cousin) and Andreah (the speedy cupcake of the group).

​

Well maybe, if they don’t dive for the bread pudding first they will get left behind…that is the stuff dreams are made of!

​

Afterwards, it will back to MK for Wishes TOGETHER…

[keahgirl8]

I am being optimistic about sleeping...I am an early riser anyway so I am sure I will be bringing on the ROPE DROPS! Brandy I hope you can slip away and meet us at MK on Thursday night...LOL we intend to see that last kiss of night at 2 am...then get up and walk that silly 5K!

Sorry, y'all...I am sleeping! I am like a boring old lady.

Never boring! LOL...I totally tend to sleep when I can, like when I get home! Seriously, I run on very little sleep thanks to old lady hormones...

Saturday, February 21​

I like how this trip is shaping up, after a very long day on Friday we will take advantage of another leisurely morning or depending on how many times we rode EE a trip to AK might be in the works…I know I am always up for a trip to AK and a climb up my favorite mountain.

​

We have LATE breakfast plans with many of our Cupcake Friends at Kona…yep, Tonga Toast time!

​

Then we will head over to the Expo so Amy H can officially pick up her things and get taped at the KT booth,

​

​

before heading to Epcot to meet up with the Cupcakes for a few rides together!

​

I am also hoping that some of Flower & Garden will be ready to see (since in all reality I will probably never make it to WDW in the spring).

​

THEN the much anticipated CUPCAKE meet up for some pre half fueling with cute Italian boys!

​

Then we all head back to AKL for an early night! Maybe a little time by the pool with the cupcakes…but certainly sleepytime tea and bed at my normal everyday times! LOL

I still haven't figured out the new boards yet. I did find the "like" feature. And the smilies.

I am so ready for a break! I'm tired of school mornings, and cooking and cleaning, etc... this will be me at dark:thirty next Wednesday when I get up to go to the airport.

1. Cinderella Cupcake (DHS)


​

Wait, what, where did this one come from? Yep, I am pulling out a new one for the number one spot on my list…okay; really Disney has recently added a new one at Hollywood Studios in celebration of the new live version of Cinderella soon to be in theaters.

​

If you are a vanilla fan this cupcake is for you. Cinderella’s white chocolate slipper sits on a small cushion of pink icing topping a huge, thick blue frosting base. Despite the blue color, the flavor of the frosting is entirely true to its vanilla description and it comes heavily sprinkled with sugar and edible glitter, which bring to mind the shine and sparkle of Cinderella’s slipper. No surprise filling inside, just a very moist vanilla cake. Pretty simple, yet really beautiful! And what a perfect picture this will make…me in my tiara shirt and tiara, standing with this cupcake in my hand in front of…

I would say a perfect fairy tale ending to this cupcake crawl, happily ever after!​

Oh that Cinderella cupcake! I totally can't wait! Jan and I will be at DHS after the 5K and totally plan on partaking in one! That's a lot of cupcakes that day since we'll be at BOG for dinner as well!

 

[Tinker326]

Wait, we don't need to use photobucket anymore? Dang, I missed that. That's awesome! I'm gonna love that!

I can not believe that we all meet in six freakin' days. I'm so, so, so excited.

 

[keahgirl8]

That is a lot of cupcakes! Of course, my number one is red velvet cheesecake. I don't think that surprises anyone. I can't wait to meet some of you ladies next week!

 

[momabaarjo]

I'm not leaving anything done at home. I'll get it clean, but Doug and Colt are big boys. They can feed themselves.

They are lucky boys...my oldest (HUSBAND) is being a real pain right now!

 

[swwake]

So excited for you ladies! Tammie I can't believe you started this a year ago. Lots of good luck and pixie dust to all of you! Run safe and run strong. Enjoy the Mouse.

....now back to my tax returns....

 

[debrapagliasotti]

So exciting this trip is almost here. By this time next weekend you will be gearing up for dinner at Via Napoli with PHM the next day. Time really has flown by after registration. Cant wait to hear about all the fun cupcake adventures.

I had so much fun at Hot Chocolate. Makes such a huge difference to be able to run with someone. I would totally do the Dallas event again next year if that is an option for you.

The Cinderella cupcake is adorable...and of course it would be vanilla since I am not there to partake in it

 

[debrapagliasotti]

Oh...& running...I got out & did a couple short runs this week. Baby steps to get my base built back up. I need to work hard this year & then anything I run next year can be a consideration for proof of time for Dopey 2018.

 

[ARmom30]

I saw that Cinderella cupcake on FB the other day! Gorgeous! I'm cleaning and packing today. We're not going out tonight. Just going to cook and avoid the crowds! Right now I'm puttin away clean laundry and packing and watching Sleeping Beauty.
