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

I love the pictures! :)

And AHHH YAY JESS! That's me! :goodvibes

Thank you! :)

That's you! ;) I tried to be all sneaky about whether or not we got to meet up, but I'm pretty sure I already talked about it earlier in the TR so that didn't really work. Ah well. :laughing:

Great pictures of Wishes Joni, thank you for posting them. One can never see too many pictures of that show :cloud9:

Can't wait to hear what happened next :goodvibes

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed them! :goodvibes
 
Hello? Um yes, hi there. Sorry to interrupt, but I have something I need to tell you all…


ONE MONTH UNTIL DISNEY.​

:hmghost: :mickeyjum :hmghost: :mickeyjum :hmghost: :mickeyjum

There are no words to express how I’m feeling right now. Well, there’s one word.


SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS.​

It’s too much to handle. In 30 days I will be in Disney World for TEN DAYS. Be still my heart. :cloud9:

I figured to celebrate our one month mark I would share all of our ADRs with you! They have completely changed since I first posted them, so it’s like brand new ones to enjoy! :thumbsup2

I am fairly confident these won’t change anymore, but you know how I am. As of right now I’m thrilled with them, though!

My ADRs for my John portion of the trip are in blue. My ADRs for my mom portion of the trip are in purple. Any restaurant that we haven’t tried before it in italics! Enjoy, and let me know what you think! :)

Wow, that’s a lot of food. :eek: I can’t wait! I am so excited to get the TiW card because I know it will save us a lot of money! So, what do you think of the ADRs? Feel free to comment/critique. I’m always open to suggestions!

Now I just have to get through the next month! AHHH! It’s going to be hard. I’m going to the beach with my family for five days on Sunday, so that will help a little, but we’ve still got a ways to go! I CAN’T WAIT!

Thanks for reading my rambling!
 
Wow! Another update already! Yeah!

Your ADRS look great. I was only so so on Cape May for dinner. I wish we had gone to Boma instead, but I wanted to at least try it. I'm interested in hearing what you think. We also have never eatennat Via Napoli and that is on my list to try. I have heard good things about it. Take lots of food pix please.

I have never seen the castle show. I will have to make a point of it in October. As often as we go (not as often as you unfortunately) and there are still so many things we have never seen or done. That is why I love going!

Less than a month. I am so jealous.
 
I LOVE Cape May for dinner. Love, love, LOVE it. I will be posting my update about it soon on my trip report so you can read all about it :goodvibes It's at the end of the current day.

You have freaking AWESOME ADR's, do you know that? I'm so proud. You're just a good diser. :thumbsup2

I can't believe it's ONE MONTH FROM TODAY! This month will fly. The last portion of the waiting game always goes the fastest. It'll be great!!!

I'm so excited for you! :hug: And the ADR's you're going to with your Mom are perfect!
 

YAY WE'RE SO CLOSE JONI!!!!! party:

Love all the ADR's! Yay for going to Cali Grill! I am OBSESSED with that place. Nomnomnom. I'll be at Hoop-de-Doo that night!

Allie and I will be at 50's Right when you're at Sci-Fi! :yay:
 
YOU'RE RIGHT. Those silly Mayans!!! At least they knew something epic was going to happen. Really though.

THE BIGGEST WORD YOU'VE EVER HEARD is a perfect word to describe your feelings. Good grief... Disney is just perfect. I'm so excited for you to be going back so soon!!!

HOT DANG GIRL. That's a lot of ADRs! Yall are gonna be doin' some good eating, that's for sure! I've been to 7 of the places you're going to, but the rest are all unknown to me! How awesome that yall got CA grill... I've heard nothing but awesome things about that place! GET IT GIRL.

Ooh, and have fun at the beach! Oh man, I wish I had a beach trip that could distract me from waiting for Disney... lucky duckling!

Thank you! :) I've heard mixed reviews about Cape May, but John is really into seafood so I have to try it at least once! I'm really hoping we'll have a good experience. If nothing else, I feel very certain I will enjoy the Oreo bon bons! ;) Don't worry, I will take TONS of food pics for the entire trip! I promise!

I was watching a special on TV about WDW the other day, and they said that experts agree that you could spend an entire YEAR in Disney and still not see it all! Isn't that insane? Anyway, you're right, that's what makes it magical- seeing new stuff every time you go! :goodvibes

YAY! I just read your review of Cape May on your TR and it made me so excited to try it! :goodvibes

Thank you! :) I'm pretty proud of them- there's a lot, but I tried to hit all the must-dos!

I seriously can't believe how close it is either! I'm really hoping it does fly by because I'm going nuts! I'm ready to go NOW! :rolleyes1

Thank you! :hug: I think this just might be my best trip ever!

AHHH I KNOW!!! :dance3: I'm so excited, and I can't wait to meet up with you! :goodvibes

Thank you! :) Like I said, it's totally thanks to you that we're doing Cali Grill! You wrote an amazing review of it! :thumbsup2

Yay for 50's! :yay: Ooh maybe we can meet up after our dinners for a ride on RnRC or ToT!

HAHA really. Somewhere far away there's some cave drawing depicting two psycho girls running around WDW like maniacs. It's coming. The world needs to prepare itself.

Thank you! :hug: I can't believe my trip is 27 days away. Unless my math skills deceive me (which they probably do), that means you're at 48 days, right? THAT'S REALLY CLOSE! :dance3:

Haha I know right! I can't believe I booked that man ADRs! I just kept adding them in here and there... I couldn't resist! :rolleyes1 I'm so excited to try Cali Grill, I just wish our ADR was during Wishes. But I figured after dinner we could hang out at the Contemporary and watch it from there!

Thank you! :goodvibes We're here right now, as you know from the Instagram pics I've been posting. It's really nice here, but there are mosquitoes everywhere and it's super windy. However, I ate a blackened mahi mahi sandwich on a pier today, so life is good! :cloud9:
 
Your ADR's look awesome! You are going to love Cape May, I'm pretty confident of that! :banana: Via Napoli is great as well, but Cali Grill...OMG...there are just no words to describe how amazing that place is! :dance3:

I love your Wishes pics! I can't believe I missed MM&Y when I was there in December, I wanted to see the castle turn into a Gingerbread house SO bad, and I was on the Peoplemover and totally forgot! :confused3 Maybe they will do it again this year!
 
Yay, one month!! We have about 2.5 months until our Disneymoon and I can't wait! And we just got back from a mini trip Friday!

We did Cape May dinner and 'Ohana for the second time on this last trip and all I can say is...:love: so yummy!

Thank you! :goodvibes I'm sorry you missed MM&Y. :( I'm sure they'll do it again this year, though! I think it was a pretty big hit!

I'm so glad to hear all these positive Cape May reviews! Thank you! :thumbsup2
 
Hi everybody! We are officially down to less than four weeks until our trip. 27 days, to be exact. Right now I’m actually at the beach with my parents and my sister. They rented a house for the week at Topsail Island (pronounced “Top-Sul”. Weird, I know) here in North Carolina, so we’re enjoying some family beach time! It’s nice, but I miss John and I really wish he was here with me. Only about two more weeks and he’ll be home, thank goodness!

Here’s a couple of beach pictures I took on Instagram for you to enjoy!

beach.jpg


beach2.jpg


Anyway, I promised I would try to finish this TR before my next trip, so let’s get back to it! When I left off John and I were wallowing in the splendor that is the MM&Y and Wishes. Ah, heaven.

After the shows John and I decided to wander over to Tomorrowland and check out the wait for Space Mountain. When we got there, however, John realized he had to go to the bathroom. I was standing around near the bathrooms waiting for him when I saw a fabulous sight.

You know that stage they have set up near the Carousel of Progress where they always have dance parties at night? It probably has a name, but I have no idea what it is. Anyway, there was no dance party going on at the time, and no one was around. Until suddenly...

DSCN0529.jpg


Goofy waltzed right out there, straight GQ, and started dancing by himself. Just dancing, all by himself, like it was no big thing. I don’t know why I got so excited about this, but it was just so cool to see Goofy cutting a rug all by himself.

And then, as if this wasn’t cool enough, Pluto came out and started dancing by himself too!

DSCN0531.jpg


My mind was blown, and I thought something along the lines of, “This is it, Joni. Your own private dance party with Goofy and Pluto. Get out there.”

Unfortunately, before I could make my way over Stitch came out and apparently brought the party with him, because like fifty people started dancing with them.

DSCN0532.jpg


I was tempted to join in still, but it had lost some of its magic when all those other people got involved. I was envisioning a Romie and Michelle’s high school reunion type three person dance between me, Goofy, and Pluto, but obviously it wasn’t happening. Ah well, c’est la vie. :rolleyes:

Anyway, by the time all of this transpired John was finished in the bathroom. We agreed we didn’t feel like waiting 40 minutes for Space Mountain, so we decided to go on the Peoplemover!

DSCN0533.jpg


As we were loading we passed this train full of teenage guys who were obviously really pumped about being people and being moved, because they were waving at everyone and yelling like crazy. They waved at us, and I responded with an equally psychotic/excited wave. I think it threw them off a little, because they didn’t expect someone else to act like a total fool on the Peoplemover. Hah, you don’t know me very well, boys.

Here’s the obligatory blurry but cool castle picture from the ride!

DSCN0534.jpg


While being moved, John and I discussed how exciting it would be to get on the Peoplemover when the park opened one day, and stay on it until the park closed. Could we pull it off? Would the CMs let us stay on? Could someone run by and throw food to us? Where would we go to the bathroom? :confused: These were the things we pondered as we rode along.

We left Tomorrowland and moseyed into Fantasyland, where I suggested we go on the Mad Tea Party! John makes it his personal mission every time we ride this to send our teacup into orbit, and since he was well rested from our earlier alien abduction he was excited to try to beat his old spinning record of 8 million miles per hour.

DSCN0536.jpg


Yes, I’m 25 years old, and yes, I still race small children onto the teacups to try and get my favorite color. Unfortunately I timed my mad dash poorly, and we ended up in a blue cup. Oh well.

DSCN0539.jpg


Don’t be fooled by that sleep exterior. He was a pouncing tiger, ready to strike and SPIN!

Here’s me pre-ride. Calm and happy.

DSCN0540.jpg


And then the spinning began, and this happened:

DSCN0541.jpg


This is John’s “in the zone” face.

DSCN0542.jpg


As usual I stumbled out of my teacup and drunkenly swayed back into the park. After about ten minutes the world stopped tilting on its axis, and we decided to walk through the castle.

I really wanted to take a picture of the Cinderella murals, but right before I could this really sweet couple who was obviously on their honeymoon came up to me and asked me to take their picture. Apparently they had been trying to get a picture for like half an hour but it was so crowded they couldn’t get a good one. I kindly obliged, and loudly asked passersby to stop for a second so I could take a picture of the hubby posing like he was proposing to his wife in front of the mural. SO CUTE.

Then I was able to take my picture! :)

DSCN0544.jpg


When we left the castle it was time for my beautiful MSEP again!! Yes, I took more pictures. I’m sorry, I can’t help it!

Tinkerbell!

Alice!

Perfection!

Y’all, he’s got the glass slipper!

DSCN0563.jpg


DSCN0564.jpg


Dopey!

I know I don’t need to tell you all that I love this parade, so I won’t say it. But deep inside, you know. We all know.

Anyway, after the parade I realized I was HUNGRY. We decided to go to a CS spot I’d never tried before- Pecos Bill’s! Unfortunately I put my camera in my backpack and didn’t take it back out for a while, so I took no pictures of this dining experience! I’m sorry! :guilty: I’ll be honest with you guys because I love you, but by this point in the trip I was getting really slack about my picture taking. I feel awful, and I promise I won’t make the same mistake on my next trip!

Anyway, back to Pecos Bill’s. I really enjoyed it! I got a burger, and the fixin’s bar, though hectic, was quite impressive. I was thrilled to discover that like Casey’s Corner, they had the molten hot cheese dip (AKA liquid gold) so I made sure to smother my fries in it. And drink it. And bathe in it. You know, the usual.

When we left Pecos Bill’s I realized I had had no service inside and Jess had been texting me about meeting up! We had been talking about when we would meet all evening but she had been hanging out with a good friend of hers, but at this point she was almost finished and ready to meet! I immediately started texting her so we could meet up, but my phone was being ridiculous and not cooperating at all. As John and I made our way back through Fantasyland Jess called me and we made plans to meet up in just a few minutes near Space Mountain!

Up Next: I finally get to meet my long lost frump friend, and John and I go crazy in MK after hours! Stay tuned!
 
Now don't ask me how I know this, but I believe the stage is called the RocketTower Plaza. I always think of that show that used to be on Nickelodeon when I hear that name, though. Hahaha... "WE ARE RIDERS ON A MISSION." Do you remember this??? Moving on...

OMG. I want to see Pluto and Goofy cutting a rug!!! Could their outfits be any more awesome??? No. They could not. But why did all those people have to ruin your moment? Couldn't they sense that they were not worthy? Whatever... sometimes people just don't get it!!! :laughing:

HAHAHA! I can just picture those teenage boys being thrown for a loop. They probably said something like, "She's supposed to think we're annoying."

OMG we're too alike. I do the same thing for Dumbo (running to my favorite color). And I always get genuinely upset when someone ELSE gets to the pink one first. Sigh... Disney problems.
 
That's so dociousalliexpisticfragicalirupus that you guys are going in so few days! And you picked some great places to eat. Pfffttt. There's no such thing as too much food. And TIW comes in sooooo handy.

I absolutely love your crazy face on the teacups. :lmao:
 
The wedding is finally OVER so I can catch up on your trip report, YAY!!!

Awww, it stinks that you had to be in pain and bummed out about ASMo. But yay for a new Jim Shore figurine! When I see them, I always think about you! And yay for switching resorts!

I absolutely love that theme park snacks toy set too! I have already picked out things for my future kiddies, and part of me wonders if I should buy things now since they may not be there for long. I want that food toy set as well as the cute Star Wars squishy figurines since Howard is all about Star Wars and those squishy ones are kinda cute!

Haha, we went to Kona on our honeymoon, and I had a chance to try the bread too! I read Jess's TRs, so I distinctly remember the video of her eating the bread. I actually was expecting NOT to like it because I know people like the 'Ohana one, and I don't. Oh man, I was so glad to be proved wrong! That bread was AMAZING. That butter was AMAZING. Howard and I obliterated that thing. You're absolutely adorable for getting nervous about eating the bread though, haha.

Wow, you got some great action on the safari! I think the most fun part of that for us was the bumpy ride! Definitely need to do it again.

You got great shots of little "Walter"! That's exactly why we stayed in the gorilla area for so long too; I love baby animals! The CM that was there told us that it likes chasing this little bunny around! I have a bit of it on video. So cute!

Now that I'm officially married, I have to say that reading about your fights with John is even more "interesting" because it makes me think about the fights Howard and I can/will have. I know that I'm extremely stubborn and stubborn, and I know that I may not really be the one that apologizes first, but now that we're married, I can't have that be the way it always is! Howard is such a sweetie though because he will usually break the ice first! If anything, it just gives us reasons to dote on our husbands even more for being better :)

Unfortunately, Howard and I didn't like Yak and Yeti as much as you guys did. I think we were expecting to be blown away. The food was good, but we had had Sanaa earlier in the honeymoon, and we were comparing everything to that! Plus, our server wasn't the greatest, so I think that played a big role. I had wanted to see if I could ask the server for just ONE cream cheese wonton since neither of should be eating it due to being lactose intolerant, but I didn't bother. I still want to try it!!!

What a cute lady taking all those pictures of you two at Pepper Market! Haha. Love that you posted each one!

Yay! Ringing in the New Year on the tram!

The gingerbread castle is so cute! We were just there, so we saw the sandcastle. I think I would prefer to see the gingerbread though! The summer thing has Phineas and Ferb in it too.

Howard and I can be ridiculous wavers on rides too! It's so much fun! We don't do it anywhere else because that kind of behavior would be really odd in New York, so Disney is the only place where we wave wave wave!
 
As usual I stumbled out of my teacup and drunkenly swayed back into the park.

Woohoo! :banana: I now have a new excuse when partaking in too many adult beverages. :drinking1

I'm not tipsy...I've been riding the teacups!

(BTW, I've started my TR and DW will kill me when I post my favorite pic from the rear view. I put this comment in ()'s because no one else can see it but you...right? That's how it works, right?) :sad2:
 
Whoot! I'm all caught up! Looks like new years eve was a little hectic, but new years day made up for it! You guys accomplished a lot! I'm excited to read about your meeting with Jess!
 
AHHH I KNOW!!! :dance3: I'm so excited, and I can't wait to meet up with you! :goodvibes

Thank you! :) Like I said, it's totally thanks to you that we're doing Cali Grill! You wrote an amazing review of it! :thumbsup2

Yay for 50's! :yay: Ooh maybe we can meet up after our dinners for a ride on RnRC or ToT!

We're so CLOSE!!! Eeeeep! I can't wait to meet up too! :goodvibes

Aww well I'm so glad that helped! I hope you love it just as much as I did! :thumbsup2

That's a great idea! I would love to!
 
OMG we're too alike. I do the same thing for Dumbo (running to my favorite color). And I always get genuinely upset when someone ELSE gets to the pink one first. Sigh... Disney problems.

Haha Marissa, I had to borrow your quote because you said "Disney problems", LOVE IT! I think/say that all the time! :rotfl:

Anyway, Joni, your Instagram pics are so cute! I have to get Instagram, I downloaded it onto my phone, then got nervous about it and deleted it! I also have to join Twitter...I'm just nervous I'm not going to be able to figure them out. I mean, it took me forever to get comfortable with Facebook...I have problems. :sad2:

That picture of futuristic Goofy reminds me of the end of Revenge of the Nerds, the part where they do there little song and dance! :rotfl:

I can't believe you can spin so crazily on those teacups! :eek: I can handle roller coaster, ToT, but spinny rides bother me sometimes!

Your MSEP pics are cute, I have to admit. The parade looks adorable, but that MUSIC! UGH!!! I wish I could watch the parade but listen to the Spectro music! :yay:
 
Hope you are enjoying your Non-Disney vacation! We will be at Topsail Island for the weekend of the 4th. We've stayed before and looking forward to our relaxing vacation before our next Disney vacation!
