Snow White Does the Creep on the Trip that Almost Wasn't A Dec 11/Jan 12 TR 7/24 NEW

I'm so glad I'm not the only one to get freaked out at the Flights of Wonder show. I was attacked by my grandmother's parrot when I was a little girl. By attacked I mean she flew in my general direction, but it was still frightening! :scared1:

We also saw the avengers today. I definitely see what you mean about Thor, I thought Captain America was pretty cute myself. I was excited to see The Lion King musical poster in the background in one of the fighting scenes towards the end. I love little Disney touches like that.

The pictures from the Yak and Yeti look delicious.
 
Aww, shame about the fight you guys had. I hate that so much, it feels like you're wasting such valuable Disney time being upset but sometimes you just can't help it! It's nice that John apologized though, a lot of men have a big problem doing that. I love your explanation of being super nice and formal after the fact hahaha.

DOLORES hahahahahalkhsdkj oh man. I will never be able to look at that dragon the same.

Oh hello there, demon bats. How is your watermelon? Not as tasty as human souls, you say? LMAO you are really cracking me up today! Even though I love the bats. Somehow they don't scare me. I think they are cute. But still, you are hilarious.

Awww sleepy tiger! So beautiful. I love seeing them. They were so active last time we were there... but that is a story for way later in my TR!

This girl looks like she’s thinking, “How did I end up HERE? I wanted to be a princess!” :rotfl:

I liked Y&Y when we tried it... but can you believe we didn't get the dessert?! That needs to be rectified soon.
 
Omg, I still haven't seen the Avengers but I did see Thor last year and it was so funny! And yeah... he looks good. YAY 7 WEEKS AND PAYING MONEY!!

:lmao: I love your formal conversation!!! Hilarious!

OMG I'm not really afraid of birds but I don't think I'd want one to swoop and touch me! I told my mom about this show a couple weeks ago though and we both want to see it... do you think there are any seats where you don't have to risk your life??

Hooray for Yak and Yeti! That's the first restaurant I ever went to at Disney. :love: YUM!!!

SERIOUSLY THOUGH WHAT THE HECK WITH THE NASTY GREEN WATER. I have a picture on my screensaver right now of that exact spot from June 2010 (I'm being completely serious... this is a very odd coincidence because I just changed it yesterday... :eek:) and the water is clear and beautiful. Wahhh. Hopefully the green guk will be gone soon!
 
Happy you got some Ibuprofen! Sorry it was a fight to get it!

Creepy Crawlies... ewww!! I think I'd be running past and there wouldn't be ANY photo at all...
 

Wow, your trip is almost here!!! :banana: I'm so jealous, I know I just got back, but I'm ready to go again. :thumbsup2 Too bad I couldn't take a quick solo trip while you're there! Stupid needing money for everything.

Haha, Brandon loves Flights of Wonder, and I think it's ok, but I'm actually afraid of the birds when they fly over you...if they kept them onstage, I'd be fine, but I'm always afraid one is going to swoop down and touch me. I duck a lot during that show! :laughing:

OMG Yak and Yeti looks amazing...the whole reason I want to go there is for that dessert! Ugh, now I feel like I need to make another ADR for my November trip! :scared1:
 
I'm glad your fight wasn't too horrendous! It's so bizarre how you can be on top of the world one moment, and then squabbling over something silly the next! We've witnessed so many tense moments between couples at Disney - it must be a rite of passage or something! But too true about the overly polite aftermath! Hahahah!!!

Yup, right there with you with the birds. I was attacked by magpies in Australia when I was little and it was like a scene from Hitchcock's The Birds with me running like crazy to get out of a park with them chasing me! :eek: I couldn't do Flights of Wonder in a million years, you're very brave!!!

That sleeping tiger's paws are soooooo cute!!! I love big cats (and little cats)!!! :love:
 
I always fall so behind! Well, at least this time I know it was because of Disney :laughing:

OMG YOU MADE THE PANCAKES!?! Omg they were probably delicious!!

BABYYYYYYY! :love:

Haha aww oh no :( That sounds like the type of fight my boyfriend and I would have. (I don't know why I always have boyfriend related comments on your trip reports hahaha) But I'm glad that everything turned okay and John got back to his sweet self!

Ew all I can think of when I hear Komodo Dragons is this story my friend told me. He was at AK watching it and it WAS EATING BABY DUCKS. I am scarred.

Those Fried Wontons are RIDICULOUSLY good.

Hahaha that's pretty much be definition of "attacked" when it comes to birds. They are terrifying! I remember once when I was in middle school I got too close to a bird's nest in a bush outside of my school and the mother bird (I'm assuming) attacked me and pooped in my hair. It was so embarassing/horrifying!

Captain America is super cute too! I was very impressed with both of them. The others...eh. Not so much. Haha I didn't notice the Lion King poster! I wish I had! :goodvibes

That place is SO good. Have you ever been? It's amazing!

Aww, shame about the fight you guys had. I hate that so much, it feels like you're wasting such valuable Disney time being upset but sometimes you just can't help it!

You're exactly right, it's such a waste of Disney time! But even in Disney World it's so hard not to let our "real life" emotions get in the way sometime! :headache: I'm glad it didn't last. John is great about apologizing. I think half the time he apologizes when it wasn't even his fault, bless him! :rotfl:

Hahaha she will now and forever be Dolores.

:lmao: Thank you! Those bat's are nightmarish to me, but I think John's with you- he thinks they're awesome. I just can't stand them for some reason. I think it's because they're so big!

That's so neat that the tigers were active for you! I remember in December 2010 they were really active, and one was trying to bite John's head through the glass. It was awesome.

Seriously though, she had that terrified look on her face the entire show! :rotfl:

That dessert is the BEST! You must try it the next time you go!


Omg, I still haven't seen the Avengers but I did see Thor last year and it was so funny! And yeah... he looks good. YAY 7 WEEKS AND PAYING MONEY!!

Wahhh. Hopefully the green guk will be gone soon!

The Avengers was pretty good, but I don't think it was as good as everyone is making it out to be. But Thor...yeah. He's smokin'.

YAY for less than 10 weeks for you! :banana:

Haha we were SO not that formal. It was more like, "You want some of that there water over yonder?" "Naw, I'm good." :lmao:

Yeah for the most parts the birds at FoW don't actually touch you, they just get kind of close. I think they touched like two people, but I have a feeling those people were warned beforehand that they would be participating in the show.

Yak and Yeti is SO SO good! We're going there in July!

Ugh, this is a mystery. I don't like it. Maybe it's runoff from...okay that makes no sense. It's manmade. Nevermind, I have no idea what I'm talking about! :confused3

Happy you got some Ibuprofen! Sorry it was a fight to get it!

Creepy Crawlies... ewww!! I think I'd be running past and there wouldn't be ANY photo at all...

Thanks! :) It ended up helping A LOT! The fight was no fun, but luckily it didn't last!

Haha yeah I'm still surprised that I actually took the time to take a picture of it, even if it was a micro second.
 
Wow, your trip is almost here!!! :banana: I'm so jealous, I know I just got back, but I'm ready to go again. :thumbsup2 Too bad I couldn't take a quick solo trip while you're there! Stupid needing money for everything.

OMG Yak and Yeti looks amazing...the whole reason I want to go there is for that dessert! Ugh, now I feel like I need to make another ADR for my November trip! :scared1:

I can't believe how close it is! Only 46 days now! Still, I feel like that's really far from now. I want it to be, like...tomorrow! :goodvibes I totally understand wanting to go back immediately. AHHH I wish you could come down while we're there! That would be amazing! At least your trip isn't too far away- the time will fly!

I agree with you completely about FoW! It's really scary! :scared1:

Haha even though I'm sure it would be hard to squeeze it in, I highly recommend Yak and Yeti! I would just do it for lunch though, because the best part is the dessert! :thumbsup2

I'm glad your fight wasn't too horrendous! It's so bizarre how you can be on top of the world one moment, and then squabbling over something silly the next!

That sleeping tiger's paws are soooooo cute!!! I love big cats (and little cats)!!! :love:

Haha maybe it is a rite of passage! I think of all the times we've been at Disney we've had maybe two big fights. The rest has just been bickering like we do at home. It's so weird to fight at Disney!

UGH that sounds awful! That sounds like something I would have a nightmare about! :scared1:

John loves cats too! He has all these shirts with lions and tigers on them, and he desperately wants to get a house cat but I'm allergic!

I always fall so behind! Well, at least this time I know it was because of Disney :laughing:

OMG YOU MADE THE PANCAKES!?! Omg they were probably delicious!!

BABYYYYYYY! :love:

Haha aww oh no :( That sounds like the type of fight my boyfriend and I would have. (I don't know why I always have boyfriend related comments on your trip reports hahaha) But I'm glad that everything turned okay and John got back to his sweet self!

Ew all I can think of when I hear Komodo Dragons is this story my friend told me. He was at AK watching it and it WAS EATING BABY DUCKS. I am scarred.

Those Fried Wontons are RIDICULOUSLY good.

Haha being at Disney is a very good reason to fall behind! ;)

They were really really good! I was surprised by how well they came out. I was also very happy with how brown they were...usually my pancakes are weird looking.

Seriously, isn't it precious?!

Haha I don't mind your boyfriend related comments one bit! I feel like I kind of know him because of your pictures of FB! You guys are a great couple. :) It was so weird fighting period, but especially in Disney. Luckily John never stays mad long, so it all blew over!

WHAT. :scared1: I'm sorry but that could possibly be the most disturbing thing I've ever heard. That's it- Dolores and I are finished. I'm never taking her picture again. And from now I'll probably run by her with my eyes closed, lest I see her feasting on baby ducks!

Aren't they, though? I can't wait to have them in July! :goodvibes
 
Hi everyone! :wave2: I hope you're having a wonderful weekend! Tomorrow we will be down to six weeks until our trip, so as of right now that means we’re at 43 days! I can’t believe how close it’s getting, but I still feel like it’s SOOO far away! I’m getting anxious to go! :hyper:

Luckily, I only have one more week of work and then I’m done for the summer! I will have to go to a three day conference at the end of June, but I don’t mind because by then my trip will be less than two weeks away! John’s getting ready to leave next Sunday for training in Texas, which stinks because I won’t get to see him for three weeks. :( But when he gets back we will be SO CLOSE to our trip!

I need to post another PTR update soon to share my updated plans with you! I promise I’ll get on that ASAP!

For now, let’s get back to the TR at hand! When I left off we were finishing up a dramatic yet fun morning at Animal Kingdom! We decided to go back to CSR for a little while and relax. Honestly at this point we didn’t really have any plans for the rest of the day. As we were exiting Animal Kingdom we saw signs saying that MK had already reached capacity for the day, so we weren’t really planning on trying to go to a park that evening. Little did we know, we would soon change our minds about that! (Don’t you just love my super obvious foreshadowing? ;))

The folks at the First Aid station in AK had given me two packs of Ibuprofen that morning, so when we got back to the room I took the other pack and took a little nap. I didn’t feel too guilty about napping in Disney since I had had such a productive morning and my foot was hurting really badly, so I slept GREAT. As much as I hate wasting time on naps while in Disney World, at the same time I love waking up and that moment when I remember where I am and all of the fun I have ahead of me!

So, when I woke up from my nap I savored the aforementioned moment for a few seconds, then I realized something even more glorious...my foot pain was practically GONE! :banana: I was so relieved I could have cried. Actually...maybe I did cry? I’m kind of emotional when I first wake up. And every other second of my life.

Having very little foot pain gave me a new lease on life. Well, at least on this vacation. I was instantly motivated enough to suggest to John that we go to a park that night! John had napped too so he was feeling pretty good, and he agreed that sounded like a good idea! We figured MK was out of the question, so we decided to try out DHS!

Before we headed that way we decided to go to the Pepper Market for dinner! I made sure to wear my super comfortable Merrels, just in case my foot decided to stop being practically perfect.

When we go to the Pepper Market it was literally empty, so we were seated immediately by a really sweet hostess. Here’s John perusing the menu:

DSCN0432-Copy.jpg


I was pretty sure on what I wanted, so I decided to take a picture of myself to commemorate my lack-of-foot-pain joy!

DSCN0434.jpg


So here’s our sweet/awkward moment. This adorable little old woman who was sweeping the Pepper Market saw me taking a picture of myself and apparently mistook my conceited desire to photograph myself, so she offered to take a picture of both of us. We don’t get a ton of pictures of the two of us together on vacation, since I sadly cannot afford to hire a personal photographer to follow us around at Disney World. *Sigh* Maybe someday. :rolleyes: Anyway, since we don’t get a lot of pictures together, I was grateful that this sweet little old lady was so helpful!

DSCN0439.jpg


Cute, right? I started to stand up from my weird crouching position, and the lady was like, “WAIT! One more!” Okay, then.

DSCN0438.jpg


I started to stand up again, only to hear “ONE MORE!”

So, she moved to a slightly different angle, and...

DSCN0437.jpg


Okay, cool. We had three pictures. I was more than satisfied, but she said, “Hold on...” :confused:

DSCN0436.jpg


Notice how I’m laughing in that one? And the perplexed look on John’s face? At this point we were both getting a little confused.

But wait, it didn’t end there.

It was CLOSE UP time!

DSCN0440.jpg


Uh oh, take 2...

DSCN0441.jpg


There we go. I bet you thought she was done, right? Wrong.

DSCN0442.jpg


She took a picture of the wall, just for good measure. So after we thanked our aspiring photographer profusely, I finally managed to pry the camera from her hands and she went about her business. Bless her heart, she needs to move to Hollywood and get a job as a papparazzi. :laughing:

Anyway, photo shoots make me hungry, so I was ready to eat! John is not a huge fan of Mexican food so he was struggling to find something he wanted. He ended up getting some sort of tacos, but he wasn’t very fond of them. I, however, got nachos, which were delicious!

DSCN0443.jpg


YUMMY. I love jalapeno peppers. Seriously, I eat them like candy. My taste buds are probably completely burned off by now.

For dessert we both got the strawberry shortcake.

DSCN0444.jpg


It was very good, but about three layers shorter than the strawberry shortcake they have at Sunshine Seasons!

After our dinner we were ready to go to DHS for New Years Eve! Yay!

Up Next: I LOVE FREE STUFF, and will we make it at DHS until midnight? Stay tuned!
 
When I left off we were heading to DHS for New Years Eve! I was so excited, so I called my mom on the way over. She had some story to tell me about my cousin’s son’s hamster dying, and it was quite disturbing. Long story short, he has some emotional issues and his mom thinks he murdered the hamster. Cheerful, right? Thanks, mom. :scared:

Anyway, when we got to DHS we were able to get inside without any problem, but the place was PACKED! I wasn’t surprised, to be honest. We arrived just in time to go to the last American Idol show of the day, so we decided to check it out. I know a lot of people on the DIS have mixed feelings about that show, but I can’t help but like it. It’s a nice place to rest, and I am a big fan of the show itself.

Speaking of which, did anyone else watch the finale? I was so glad Phillip Phillips won. His “I won I’m awesome, HA HA Jessica Sanchez” song was really really good, and he got all emotional so naturally I cried myself into a puddle in front of my TV. Anyway...

DSCN0445.jpg


I attempted a very difficult one-armed picture of me and John, which was really hard to do on that slanting floor.

DSCN0446.jpg


I’m sorry, what is going on with that lady behind us? :confused: First of all she’s looking directly in our camera, and secondly she looks either terrified or super angry. Actually, she looks a little bit offended, like she can’t believe I had the nerve to take a picture in front of her. Or, come to think of it, she looks kind of confused, like she’s never seen a camera before. Well, whatever she is, I’m glad she’s in my picture so I can study this further in the future.

Anyway, here’s the inside of the theater:

DSCN0448.jpg


I like hearing the people sing on this show, but I hate the fake judges. They’re so obnoxious, and they try to act like they have all this street cred that justifies them being up there judging these poor tourists. Plus they try so hard to make them exactly like Randy, Simon, and Paula. It's annoying.

I have absolutely no recollection of who won the show. I like the AI Experience, but not the finale show. They always have what seems to be 8 million people singing, and it gets a little tedious. Afterward John wanted to ride Star Tours again, so we headed that way.

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but John desperately wants to be the rebel spy on Star Tours. This has become one of his major Disney goals ever since he first rode the refurbed ride.

This picture of C3PO came out terribly, but I think it looks kind of cool.

DSCN0450.jpg


This one is a little better!

DSCN0451.jpg


DSCN0452.jpg


We got sorted into our sectors or whatever, and then we got our 3D glasses. I was really excited, so I made a...

DSCN0455.jpg


DEER FACE. :thumbsup2 That’s for you, Jess and Kristen. ;)

Then we attempted another self portrait. Unfortunately it appears as though I fell asleep halfway through the shot.

DSCN0456.jpg


Oh well.

I am sorry to report that John was not the rebel spy. Although, the guy who was the rebel spy was making a ridiculous face in his picture, so that was pretty funny. John was still disappointed, though. Bless his heart, I hope he gets to be the rebel spy in July!

When we got out of Star Tours the park had gotten even more crowded. It was really neat though because they were in full celebration-mode, and there was a band playing classic rock covers on the stage in front of the hat. It was really loud and crazy, and we got sucked right into the party! I noticed that people all around me were wearing these really need New Years top hats and they were blowing on those noise maker things. Clearly these were being given away somewhere, and I wanted one!

John wasn’t too desperate to get a plastic hat and annoying noisy thing, but I dragged him around until I found a CM who told me they were giving them away outside of Lights, Motor, Action. So we headed that way!

On the way I stopped for a picture!

DSCN0457.jpg


John also needed to stop for a bathroom break, so I went into a gift shop while I waited and took a picture of these gorgeous ornaments. I WANT THEM.

DSCN0458.jpg


When he got back it was finally time to get our free stuff! Yippee! We found the CMs who were giving them away and we each got a hat and a noise thingy. Upon further inspection I realized my hat was actually like five hats stacked on top of each other that the CM did not separate correctly. EXTRA FREE STUFF, awwww yeah! :banana:

DSCN0460.jpg


So naturally, I wore all of them at the same time.

Once I had gathered up all my free loot we decided to go to my favorite non-ride activity, The Animation Academy!

DSCN0462.jpg


We got there right after a show started, so we had to wait about thirty minutes. I didn’t mind, though. It was nice to sit down and relax a little!

DSCN0463.jpg


We ended up drawing Dale, and mine came out awful. I kept it to give to my mom because she loves to collect my drawings, but it was not good enough for a picture, trust me.

Afterward we decided to go ride Tower of Terror! I love riding it at night!

DSCN0466.jpg


There was a girl in line in front of us who was complaining that she had lost her plastic New Years hat, so I gave her one of mine. She was so thankful, which made me feel good, even though it was free.

When we got off ToT John was feeling a little snacky since he hadn’t been completely satisfied with his dinner, and he decided he wanted something we had NEVER tried in Disney before...

DSCN0467.jpg


A turkey leg! I was apprehensive about these things because I have never really found them appealing, but he really wanted one. While he waited in line I listened to the music playing and danced by myself a little. Well, not completely by myself. the CM working at the DVC booth saw me getting down so he joined in. It was fun! Everyone was in such great spirits for NYE!

John came over a few minute later with his spoils: the biggest freaking turkey leg I’ve ever seen. He asked me if I wanted a bite, so I said sure. I took the tiniest nibble, and I was very impressed with the flavor. However, I really had no idea how to eat the darn thing! That is, of course, until John started eating it. I then realized that it’s absolutely socially acceptable to tear into them like Henry the 8th, and have grease dripping down your chin while you gnaw on the leg like a ravenous dog. Okay, I can do that. He handed it back to me and I followed his lead. The flavor was great, but I instantly regretted my decision. I felt like I had just jumped in a giant vat of grease, and I kind of hated myself for letting my carnal side take over. I told John thanks but, he could enjoy the rest of the turkey leg for himself!

I wish I had taken a picture of that thing. It was SO BIG.

After John had had his fill of turkeyzilla we realized it was already 11:00! It would be midnight before we knew it! We decided to try to make our way to a small cart selling alcohol that we had seen near Hollywood Brown Derby so we could get a glass of champagne to toast at midnight. It took us about twenty minutes just to walk over to the cart, and when we got there we realized there were literally fifty people in line. It was ridiculous! We both agreed pretty quickly that it wasn’t worth it, so we made our way back to where we had come from. By this time it was after 11:30, and Hollywood Boulevard was literally packed with people. There wasn’t room to walk AT ALL. :eek: I started to get really claustrophobic, so we decided to make our way toward the park exit. We figured we would still be able to see the New Years show, and that way we could be some of the first to leave. Unfortunately, by the time we finally made our way down Hollywood Boulevard we were both so frustrated and feeling so suffocated that we said let’s JUST GO.

So, here’s our romantic New Year’s celebration- we spent it on the tram, riding back to our car! party:

HAHA! :lmao: It wasn’t that bad though, because it was pretty much empty, we still saw the fireworks, and our driver wished us a happy New Year! Ever notice how John and I have the most anticlimactic celebrations ever? It’s one of the things I love about our relationship, because we’re both totally cool with it.

Since we left the park before the crowd we were able to get to our car and back to CSR in a relatively reasonable amount of time. We were both exhausted, so we wished each other a happy 2012 and collapsed into bed!

Up Next: Our New Years day plans change a little bit, and I have a wonderful DIS meet! Stay tuned!
 
Oh yay I'm so glad you updated today! I needed something to console my boredom :laughing:

YOUR TRIP IS SO SOON!!! ::banana: I seriously am so excited for you!!

YAY FOR NO FOOT PAIN! AND YAY FOR YOUR MONORAIL SHIRT!

hahaha I'm literally laughing out loud about your photographer friend. That's too funny! It reminds me of Kristen's Mom. She's always like "WAIT! ONE MORE... HOLD ON!" So funny. :lmao:

YESSS STAR TOURS DEER FACE. Joni, you're perfect! :laughing:

LOL my one friend told me that if you go up to the cast member and say "I'm feeling rebellious today," chances are they'll make you the rebel spy. So maybe you can some how sneak over to them and say that John is feeling rebellious :p Worth a shot, right?

I WANTED ONE OF THOSE HATS SO BAD! And I wasn't going to a park that night so I was disappointed at first, but then we ended up getting some thanks to my crazy night where I was just runnin' all over Disney World. :laughing: Ahh what a great night. That was literally the best NYE of my life.

I WANT THOSE ORNAMENTS TOO! I see them everywhere.

I"ve never had a turkey leg either! I don't want to know how many calories are in that thing. I'm literally scared. :rotfl: Even though calories don't count in Disney... I'm still curious. Maybe one day I'll try one... but I really am not too concerned about it. :rolleyes: I have red velvet cupcakes and THE BREAD to eat in the mean time.

HAHAHA you guys are frumps, I love it. :thumbsup2 Happy New Year!
 
YAY for your foot pain being gone! Thank goodness!!! Naps are wonderful and refreshing and definately give you a new lease on life, don't they? And waking up at Disney IS fabulous!!! Those pictures are a riot! I don't know how you kept from just completely losing it though laughing! I would have been crying with laughter by about the 4th picture! That is sweet though! Can't wait to hear more of your night!

I was gonna comment on these updates, and then I read this. Jess, we're the same. I literally almost thought I had already commented because it sounds like what I was gonna say. Joni, definite :thumbsup2:thumbsup2 on that deer face!​
 
Wo-hoo on the foot pain being gone!!!

So for the Rebel Spy... I have heard if you sit down, sit straight up, look forward without your glasses on you have a good shot at being chosen... of course that is rumor but you never know!!

Congrats on the free hats!!

I honestly cannot handle crowds so I give you kudos for even being there on New Years!!
 
I'm sorry that John is leaving soon :( but it's cool that you're almost done with school!

YAY NO MORE FOOT PAIN!!! Ahhh, a miracle. :worship: AND you're wearing the alejado monorail shirt! What a blessed occasion.

Bless that little old lady's soul! That is the funniest thing! :lmao: Yall's facial expressions get more and more amused!

Hmmm... I think I will save my comments on the American Idol finale for the time being. ;)

Yeah, I don't get why the AIE 'judges' try to act like Simon, Paula, and Randy either... especially since Simon and Paula are quite gone (thank goodness). Did you notice that the Duets show commercials were making fun of them too? Like yall, I dunno if you've noticed, but JLo and STy are nothing the same as the old judges... it's irrelevant!

Hahahah I'm thinking there's no graceful way to eat a turkey leg. I can't stand feeling greasy like you said so I feel for you! Ick.

Happy New Year tram operator! :laughing:
 
Okay I am all caught up.

I'm sorry about your fight, that's the worst. But I did think that people did start speaking in a very proper manner when nice-talking after a fight? :lmao:

Love the Calvin and Hobbes poem. I still mourn the loss of Calvin and Hobbes and think it was the best comic strip of life. I named my first cat Hobbes because of it.

Your plans were so eerily similar to ours, I wonder if we came within inches of each other there. We had lunch at Yak and Yeti also, and we spent NYE at DHS. :laughing:
 
Yay, I'm glad you woke up pain free! :cool1:

Aww, that was nice of that old lady to take your picture...not sure why she took so many, but still, it was nice of her! :rotfl:

I've still never done the American Idol Experience, and I probably never will! I can't watch that show, it is so annoying to me! :rotfl: Everyone else in the world likes it though, sometimes I wonder if there's something wrong with me for not liking it!

Yay, Star Tours! :banana: Ever since I was the rebel spy in October, when I go in and sit down, I make sure I'm smiling and not making any weird faces, because when I was the rebel spy, the picture they took of me was awful! :rotfl: So if I'm ever the spy again, I'll be prepared! :rotfl2:

YAY A TURKEY LEG!!! :cool1: So glad you guys finally tried one, they are SO good! Yes, it's perfectly acceptable to rip into that thing like a caveman while walking around a Disney park!

Ugh, I'm sorry DHS was so crowded! I want to go to Disney SO bad for New Year's one year, but I'm afraid of those crowds! That's really sweet that you guys celebrated the new year on the tram! Things like that happen to Brandon and I all the time too! :rotfl2:
 
Oh my.... I am terrified of birds! :rotfl2: Flights of Wonder is one thing I will NEVER EVER do! :rotfl:

Sooooo happy you had no more foot pain!! :cool1: What a great way to wake up!!

I love your photo shoot! :laughing: Also, super funny!!!/very awkward!!!

I just about died when I saw the picture you took at AIE with the strange lady in the background!!!! :rotfl2: I'm actually laughing out loud at your analysis!!

OMG I love your hat! Too cute! I love how rang in the New Year on the tram! :rotfl2: Too funny!!
 
I have been following along and have been enjoying your TR. I am so jealous your getting so close to returning. I have at least a year but most likely more until I get to go to WDW. I do get to go to Disneyland for one day in June, but it's just not the same. Oh well
