Plans?We Don't Need No Stinkin' Plans! Dorky Disboutiquing Diser Sista UPDATED! 9/13

[teresajoy]

This is when I spotted two little girls in Disney customs.

I noticed that the one little girl looked very familiar, then I noticed she was wearing heals!! I knew who this little girl was!!! This was a Disboutique family!!
When Arminda got up to get food, I told her to see where the girls were sitting. I didn't want to frighten the girls by following them myself.
Arminda came back and told me where they were. So, I got up and headed on over to the family.
It was Jessica, Haganfam!!! We were both excited to meet fellow Disboutiquers! We chatted for a minute and then went back to our tables.

However, I kept wishing I had taken pictures! So, Brian told me to just go back over there! So, I did! And, we took a few pictures to share with you all!

Jessica and her family were really sweet, and I was so happy to get to meet them all!
When I got back to our table, Brian was using the restroom and Corey decided to go get some more food. Our check had been delivered while we were gone as well.
One of the CMs came over to us and said, "Have you seen Eeyore yet?" I told her that we had not. So she told me,
"Get all your stuff and come with me."
I asked her if we could just leave our items at the table and she said, "No, you have to take it with you.”
I told the CM that my son was still eating. She tried to insist that we had to leave the table, but I insisted that we finished eating. She became rather irritated and told us to come find her when we were finished.
Brian came back from the bathroom and I told him what had happened. He was as confused as I was. Once Corey was done eating, I left the payment (cash) in the little folder and then went to find the CM so we could see Eeyore!

Eeyore was cute as always, but he was pretty rushed. We didn’t get many pictures.

As we were leaving, Brian asked me to take his picture next to the Tigger topiary.

As we were about to leave, our waiter came rushing up to us and told me in a rude voice that I had not signed my receipt. I told him that I didn’t realize that we needed to sign it, since we had paid with cash. He was quite rude as he told me that it didn’t matter what I paid with, I needed to sign the receipt.
(I’m sure there is a reason for this, but I can’t figure out what it is. Could someone enlighten me?) THEN, the CM asked me if I had left a tip! This is the same waiter that had virtually IGNORED us while we were dining! I informed him that I had left a tip in the folder.
I was upset by the attitude of the waiter, and I wish our visit here hadn’t ended on such a sour note. But, we still had a fun time, and were excited that we had actually gotten in with no ADRs!
Up next??? Hmm... I have no clue; it’s been almost a year! I’ll have to look through my pictures!

I would say we must have had the same waiter as you...back in September...but ours was female...hopefully they are BOTH off when we go back in Nov/Dec! I thought you said this was finished..........?

(insert impatient mom tapping her foot...) JK!

Do you think they told that lady to give each person only one doughnut, or was that her own personal ideal of what breakfast should be?

Oh my gosh, Corey looks so much younger!! He's grown up so much in the last year!

LOL!! A "changing of the guard". Brian cracks me up!

Aww....how special that Arminda got the gift card!! I wish we could do that with the GADGAD tickets!

The year of "Whatcha Got Because Frankly We Just Ran All Out Of Celebration Ideas"

How come you don't post "A's" full name and address? How cool that you found a stroller from Grand Rapids!

I think I'd rather sit in the hot sun than sit through the Enchanted Tiki Room. That's really saying a lot coming from someone who can't bear the Florida heat.

You've gotta rub it in that YOUR husband loves Disney, don't you?

Oooh!! What a great picture of Crystal Palace! That first one is so pretty!

I love the food at CP. But, I never get much of it because the line to get to the buffet is always so long- I never make more than one trip!

We've had some major issues with service at that place, both times we've been there! Our waiters were awful both times. On our October trip, we had to wait 35 minutes after we were done eating for the check!! The whoe time I was sitting there thinking about what else we could be doing at Disney instead of sitting and waiting!! The time before that, I wasn't brought a drink until 1/2 way through the meal, and no refills. Why don't they just let you get your own refills?

You're still bitter about the October Pooh, aren't you?

I love pictures of Brian with Tigger! He's so cute! So is Tigger!

So cool that you met Haganfam!!!

What was that waiter thinking? I can't stand rudeness like that!!!

 

[NiniMorris]

Try having 2 two year olds and waiting over a half hour for the check! Can you say DISASTER? Our waitress came over twice to clean up a messy spill...when if she had just brought us the check we could have left so she could torture a whole NEW family!

In the future, we have dicded, when we are through eating, one volunteer will stay for the check and the rest will leave to have fun...sort of like a FP runner!

Hi Teresa!!! YAY!!! I am so happy you got to us! I may be a little biased but this is my favorite update yet! I am so glad you went back and added it. I love that you didn't have reservations and you got in anyway! It was meant to be, I guess we were supposed to cross paths.

I have to tell you that you have me and my daughter rolling on the floor at the picture where you marked Jenna with a "THERE" . That is so funny! I can't believe you caught her in the background of one of your pictures! That is just hilarious . Yes, that was Julia in heals!

You and your family were just the sweetest. Your girls were so adorable and polite, too. I wish we had more time to talk. I am sure we could have went on forever! For now, I will remain grateful that I got to meet you and your family (and that you spotted us). I was so lucky and meeting you was a high-light of my trip. LOVE DIsney magic!

My husband even said to me when you walked away-"Look at that smile on your face now that you met someone from the Disboards." I then went on to explain to him that you were not just somebody. "Hunny, that was TERESA!!" I was a bit star struck and then explained to him that the thread that I love so much wouldn't be there if not for you and your sister Heather. The thread that I was on for months prior to our trip!

Thank you for this update, you brightened my day!

I had both kids by myself (3 and 6 at the time). They were getting VERY antsy by the time we got the check! Plus, we had a lady sitting next to us that kept moving over into my booth area so she could get better pictures of her kids. She was practically sitting on my lap (I'm being quite literal)!

LOVE Lydia's outfit!

Crystal Palace is Tom's favorite character meal place too. We haven't eaten there is several years but the service is definitely hit and miss. How neat that you met Jessica!

I could definitely see Tom watching for a changing of the guard and sending the kids up to sneak more donuts. Very resourceful husband you have there!

Reading your trip report makes me a little sad because we are supposed to be there right now but couldn't because they blacked out the dates for Florida residents. Good thing I have great place to visit tomorrow!

They charge WAY to much for that place to have rude waiters! Especially rude waiters who don't DO anything!

Nope, not done yet! Sorry!

Do you think they told that lady to give each person only one doughnut, or was that her own personal ideal of what breakfast should be? I think it might have been her own personal rule!

Oh my gosh, Corey looks so much younger!! He's grown up so much in the last year! I KNOW! I was thinking the same thing as I was posting this!

LOL!! A "changing of the guard". Brian cracks me up!
He cracks me up too! He cracks himself up as well though...

I was hoping you'd like that!

How come you don't post "A's" full name and address? How cool that you found a stroller from Grand Rapids!
I have a picture of the nametag, but thought it was better not to post it!

I think I'd rather sit in the hot sun than sit through the Enchanted Tiki Room. That's really saying a lot coming from someone who can't bear the Florida heat.
I'd be sitting right there with you! Corey too apparently!

You've gotta rub it in that YOUR husband loves Disney, don't you?
Uh huh!

The service is not very good! I would much prefer to get my own refill!

You're still bitter about the October Pooh, aren't you?
Yes, yes I am!

I love pictures of Brian with Tigger! He's so cute! So is Tigger!
I agree!

So cool that you met Haganfam!!!
I KNOW!!! I was so excited!!!

What was that waiter thinking? I can't stand rudeness like that!!!
When he asked if I had left him a tip, I almost LOST IT!

In the future, we have dicded, when we are through eating, one volunteer will stay for the check and the rest will leave to have fun...sort of like a FP runner!

That's a good idea!

I thought it was pretty cool when I was looking through my pictures and saw it! I'm glad you like the "there"!

Yes, that was Julia in heals!
She is so adorable! All of you are!
You and your family were just the sweetest. Your girls were so adorable and polite, too. I wish we had more time to talk. I am sure we could have went on forever!

Awww, Jessica, you are so sweet! Thank you! I loved meeting you and your family too!

You are going to make me blush! Funny, my husband said just about the same thing to me when I went and sat back down! I was just giddy!

Thank you for this update, you brightened my day!

You've brightened mine too!

Some people act like you aren't even there, don't they!

LOVE Lydia's outfit!

I thought you might appreciate Lydia's outfit!!! Thanks so much for sending that on to us! Lydia loved it!

Men are funny, aren't they! He is quite resourceful! I thought it was pretty funny that I didn't know about it until almost a year later too!

I don't know that coming to brown, muddy, everything-is-dead-right-now, Michigan compares to Disney, but I'm glad YOU think so!

Too bad you couldn't have come in May or late April, that's when everything is gorgeous here!
