Today we ditched the school uniforms and dressed up as ‘Death Eaters’
We wore all black, and we put temporary tattoos of the ‘dark mark’ on our arms!
What a great idea! I'd have never thought of that. Did you get any comments?
Here’s a photo of us all later in the day, so you can see our outfits!
I think you could all take lessons from Rob. He's got the attitude down pat.
This is Jamie, summed up in a 3 second video…
OMG. That is
perfect!
Food is never disappointing!
I respectfully disagree. Have you never had Brussels sprouts?
Food can
definitely be disappointing.
Jamie spotted one of his own kin!
Fran and I impulsively decided to ride Kang and Kodos’ Twirl ‘n’ Hurl
How was it? Did you feel like hurling afterwards... or
during?
When Rob told us outside Jamie was like,
“You’re telling me there isn’t FIRE inside this can?!?!”
Nice shot!
I want this dress for Halloween
Why didn't you get it??????????
Don't we look menacing...
Oh, yes. With your strappy sandals and cute necklace and Fran's pink MB and matching shoes.... very menacing. Terrifying.
A Blue Brother!
That's the singular version, right?!
NO IT IS NOT!
I saw them live on SNL, well before the movie came out. So I know of what I speak.
A singular Blues Brother. Or perhaps an Elwood or a Jake. That's it!
Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls was closed for a long refurb, and Pop Eye’s was temporarily down!
You guys are batting 1000 here for rides being down.
He was edging towards us as if he was reluctant to believe that anyone was actually paying attention to him
He was waving and shuffling forward a couple of steps at a time apprehensively, he looked so cute.
Jamie said he’s his new favourite character
Of course! Who doesn't love a bashful shuffling character??
I have restless legs (plural) syndrome when I’m at Disney
If it was one leg, then it would be restle leg syndrome.
On my way back through World Showcase I stopped at this Mosaic Canteen festival booth and got a Mediterranean Flatbread.
It was so good and a huge portion for a snack credit!
That looks really good. Yum!
I didn’t tell Jamie I had eaten these two things, I didn’t want to be chastised about spoiling my dinner
Like the naughty child that I am.
We used two anytime fastpasses to ride it twice, and we asked for the back rows both times.
It was really fun!
I was
soo sure you were going to tell us that it was down too. Glad at least
one ride was working!
Teppan Edo!
This was our first time eating there, it had really tickled Fran’s fancy on one of our many planning evenings back home
And I’m so glad because we loved it!
I love it there too! It's so fun! And the food is delicious!
At one point he even asked the boys about “popping the question”
I wonder... did he have a bit of inside info?
And the green tea cake for dessert!
So... I'm not a tea drinker. Did it taste strongly of tea? Or?
Everything was so tasty but I was sooo full by dessert, I could only eat a few mouthfuls.
It definitely had nothing to do with that flatbread and chocolate cake I secretly ate a couple of hours ago
Ah. Bowing in supplication. Well trained.
I love how similar we look in this picture below
Even before I read your comment, I was struck at the similarity between you two.
WOO what a great day.
I love Disney restaurants.
Who doesn't?????
We arrived at 11am, and spotted the creepy tree lady.
"Creepy tree lady"???????? You take that back! DiVine is a treasure!
Of course we ordered the bread service as we are not complete psychopaths.
(and you can read that as "yes" you must order the bread service, or "yes" you're complete psychopaths. Your choice.)
For my entrée I got what I always get; the braised beef and butter chicken, and also the paneer tikka.
Whoa. All of that looks so good!
I love eating at the California Grill at sunset!
Must make a note of this...
I’m a bit of a psycho about it; I even look online to find out the time that the sun will be setting in Orlando on any given date, and book my reservation accordingly
...and further notes of this!
We took some pics of each other
Look at my pretty friend.
Two very pretty young ladies.
In this moment I was thinking, "if he was going to propose on this trip, he would've done it tonight."
We’ve eaten here several times before and he knows how fancy it is, and how much I love the observation deck.
Me towards the end of the meal, thinking "Do I really have to wait ANOTHER year..."
You poor thing!
After he did propose the following night, he said he just wanted it to be a moment where it was just the two of us, which is totally fair and I really loved that in the end!
I agree with Hymie here. This is the sort of thing that's best done just between the two of you.
He ran to the bathroom while Fran and I looked around
Totally worth it for this mug.
Sorry Jamie.
"What are you doing??"
"Kissing you in an emotional moment you cow!"
Rob was leading the walk back to our room through the hotel corridors, when he started picking at the hole in the butt of his trousers in front of us all, progressively more and more, to the point where he ended up ripping them completely apart, Hulk-style, growling and roaring
We were laughing so much, but what we didn’t realise was that there was a poor woman walking right behind us all, who I’m assuming witnessed this entire insane outburst
No!
Then we rode Test Track!
Sadly we couldn’t get the top score of the day, I think we were out of practice.
What? You didn't? Who even
are you?????
Today started off very grey and overcast, and I was feeling very sad that it was our last full day at Disney
Always the saddest day.
Would the day get better?
I DON’T KNOW.
Look at you! Perfectly into the camera!
Saving the galaxy is very serious business.
It's a whole galaxy. And you're saving it. Yes, very serious business.
Oh well, we got our food in the end!
That's not where it's supposed to go. At least not at first.
Don’t these make your mouth water just by looking at them in the bottom of the bag?!
I was browsing
MDE at the Contemporary bus stop when I spotted a rogue Tower of Terror fastpass for very soon…
And when I looked up to mention it to Jamie, a Hollywood Studios bus was pulling right in!
Tower of Terror is one of our absolute favourites and we’d only gotten to ride it once this trip, so it felt like the Disney Gods were really speaking to us.
Good timing on that!
That lady is
not happy you're taking her photo.
Then it was time to use our Tower of Terror fastpass WOOO.
Nothing beats that musty smell and creepy music.
How long did that last you???
Can you believe this is how many snack credits we had left at the end of our trip?!
I love the dining plan.
Has anyone ever naturally had zero snack credits left at the end of their trip?!
We always see other people in Goofy’s doing the same thing as us
I've only done the
DDP once. We were all so full at the end of it that just the
thought of more food was making me ill. The snack credits went unused.
Pretty sunset shots.
Here’s just a few of the photos I took, completely ignoring what might be on Jamie’s agenda
He was trying to be sneaky, but he fumbled it and dropped the box on the floor
Just a weeeee bit nervous?
We sat and talked about the trip and all our favourite parts.
At one point the biggest convention group of business people I’ve ever seen came parading behind us in a huge trail
That really makes me laugh now.
We’re fairly private people and I would’ve hated for him to propose in front of all those people.
Jamie’s brain was clearly going “MOVE MOVE MOVE”.
The group was never ending!
They were all walking behind us for ages!
Hymie must've been
dying!
Anyway, as soon as the coast was clear, and while I was taking another photo of the lake, Jamie said,
“Lady?”
(A nickname he has for me )
I turned to him as he was getting down on one knee in the sand, holding the ring box.
He opened it up and asked,
“Will you marry me?”
WOOOOOOOO.
Finally, after 8 years!
He looked so nervous it was so cute.
And I loved that he called me Lady
I just started crying and pulled him up and hugged him.
Awwwww...
Jamie said that he’d told Fran he was going to do it in this exact spot on day 1 of the trip, because he didn’t want to take the ring into a park due to the metal detectors, which is smart!
Oh! Of course!
and then feeling generally gippy
Okay... is this like when you're pulley? What does this mean?????????
The plan was for me to show them with my left hand and see if they noticed, but I’m not good at these things so I ended up showing them the snacks, then just shoving my hand in their faces
I love this.
I love these pictures, even though I’m ugly smiling in them
Definitely
not ugly smiling. You look wonderful!!
We ended up paying $15 per person to go to Jellyrolls!
We’d never been before, but it was totally worth it!
The dueling pianists were amazing, we all got pretty drunk and sang our hearts out.
Always wanted to go in there. Looks like so much fun.
I had to get up, without a Jamie in sight, so Rob walked up to the front with me to see what was going on.
The guy shouted down “Are you Jamie?” and he was like “No… I’m just Rob…”
You know, just Rob, no explanation
And Fran videoed the whole thing!!
Even though this was a truly harrowing experience for us, we are both the types of people who are able to laugh at ourselves a lot, so I will share this truly tragic video with you.
YOU’RE WELCOME.
Loved it!
The four of us still laugh at how we were just drunkenly spinning the whole time
At least you didn't fall on the ground... or ask someone for cigarettes...
