"SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP! It Builds Character and Strength!" A July 2011 TR-COMPLETE 4/5

[princessallie]

Real Life Updates <3 <3 <3 <3

Team Disney = Win!

Ahh, the Wiener run What a beautiful thing. "Nahh, we're frumps, we do what we want!" LOL.

My friend Rachel thinks I actually RAN a 5K. I had to set her straight.

The Full House Disney is a tad unrealistic, but we love it anyways. Their getting around all the parks so fast is just magic!

I love our photoshoot We need another soon! You put up the pictures of you! I was worried you wouldn't. Gorgeoussss <3

Ahh, some HP thrown in, it's okay, it'll prepare the readers for that update. WWoHP!!!

MUPPETS. Frumps.

Olive Garden at...6? Nooo, 9! That desert was fantastic. And our waitress was so nice! She could have worked at Disney. We should have told her that!

Yayy, I'm glad you did this See ya later!

 

[princessallie]

We won the $25 Dick's Sporting Goods gift card by the way. I just found that out today

Of all the things...

 

[okw19]

What a fun weekend! I would have frumped it up and walked the 5k too. I'm glad someone else shares my love for crewneck sweatshirts. I always feel like such a mom when I wear them.

 

[IheartDDuck]

Love the real life update. Good lookin' out sticking to your frumpiness and walking the 5K. The important thing is participating.

Love all of the pictures that you guys took. They turned out beautiful.

I just about died when I saw the picture of your black tie mousse cake. Favorite dessert from the OG!

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

Yall are the cutest things ever! I love how yall just shrugged it off when the guy told you to pick up the pace a bit

The pictures Ellen took are AMAZING! Seriously. Like straight out of a magazine. Yall are absolutely gorgeous and look like models!

OLIVE GARDEN = I want those deserts right now!

 

[PrincessMaggie618]

AHHHH <3 Good times I'm in the real-life update! WOHOO
I still can't believe you guys walked that much. I mean, who exercises these days?
Hmm talking about future trips? Like a Classics trip perhaps!?
You guys are models <3 "I've always wanted to be a model!" I don't think I know the story behind that, but Jess always says it so I felt it should be quoted. FOOOOOD <3 I drove past Olive Garden the other day,then I looked at the time and it was exactly 6oclock!
This was the best day ever, now do a Disney update!

 

[PirateKate]

Love your pictures of the Castle! No matter how many times I see it, it's still impressive every time.

Splash Mountain is the best, isn't it? It's cool that you got to sit in the front both times.

What a fun night, Lion King and Olive Garden. The pictures from the beach turned out really well, too.

 

[Disneyfreak616]

Wow! Your friend Ellen takes beautiful pictures. You girls all look gorgeous!!

Aww thank you! She really does!​

Welcome home!
YAY FOR THE WEINER RUN!!
(i think you forgot the clown picture lol)
We won the $25 Dick's Sporting Goods gift card by the way. I just found that out today
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Jerkman. Whatta guy. Fantastic telling of the story. Really, such a great time of life.
I like that picture of you where you look confused/angry/mysterious. It's really cute And the one where you're laughing. It's so artsy. I LOVE ELLEN'S PHOTOGRAPHY!

Ahhh olive garden I want more of that mousse cake.

Great update!! That was the most fun I've had in a long time

THANKS.
I love the Weiner Run. Except I can't spell it.
I fixed the stuff I forgot haha. Except I couldn't put in our Rafiki and Simba pic cuz there wasn't room. Wahh so sad. I'll just stick it in the next update for kicks haha.
Of course. Of all things. The sporty gift card. WOW.
Why thank you. I was very nervous. I hope I did it justice haha.
Aw thanks! I love all of yours too!
I bet! I want Disney food.
YUMM. ME too. I want the salad. <333​

I don't think I commented on it before but hooray for the trolley show...and song...what a great song. It's impossible to not sing along! Actually that pretty much goes for all of Disney. It's the only place in the world where everyone should sing along...all the time..

Yayyy for massive real life updates! Always a win!
Awhhh yay for mum getting involved with her matching sweatshirt!!!
And her first heart picture. So presh! It definitely should go on the fridge!
Awwhhh wiener races! What an adorable idea! They are so long and close to the ground that anything they do is beyond cute!

You guys are all such stunners! Gorgeous photo shoot!

It IS such a great song. I agree. Singing along in Disney is so fun. I do it constantly.

Haha YAY! Glad you liked it! Mother is so cute!

I know! I kinda want one now haha.

Aw thank you so much! It was a lot of fun!​

I loved it too! We must have plenty. I did put mine in...because you and Jess would have yelled at me. And that would be embarassing. And then one of you would have put them up yourself.

I LOVE THEM.

We should have! Mmmmm what a delicious place.

Me too! See you tomorrow!​

Of all the things...

BUT REALLY. The sporting goods store...for the lazy frumps. Are they calling us fat!?​

It really was! Good for you haha. We all LOVE crewnecks. They're great. I know the feeling though...but I like it!​

Love the real life update. Good lookin' out sticking to your frumpiness and walking the 5K. The important thing is participating.

YAY!!! Yes you are!

I know right? It didn't feel like that much at all though.

YES. Can we PLEASE? Let's go!

Hahaha she said that at the Music Man last year. It was hysterical. She is so quoteable I agree.

HAHAHA it's the best time to be there apparently! That day was so fun though! ​

Love your pictures of the Castle! No matter how many times I see it, it's still impressive every time.

Splash Mountain is the best, isn't it? It's cool that you got to sit in the front both times.

Thanks! I totally get that. It's just so stunning.

It was so much fun being back together with everyone. Thanks!​

I agree. The Trolley Show is the BEST!
Yeah they do not deserve to wear that color.
I know!!! SO weird.
Yeah! Way to go us haha.
Aw HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! ​

 

[PlutosRHM55]

This is totally random but I just saw you were on Pottermore and had a little conniption there (or maybe not, but I recognized the username ) And I just had to remind you that you need to get sorted to see if we're in the same house, because I think we can totally rule Ravenclaw or Ravendor, if you get into the Gryffindor! And I'm going to read and comment on your updates now, so don't worry, I just had to comment on that just because

 

[PlutosRHM55]

Alright catching up, I think I'll just comment on the Disney update if that's okay and I will comment on the real life one tomorrow... sounds like a plan, okay...

Awwww... that's so cute you guys had a little childhood memories moment right there. Nostalgia softies, d'awwww... And it looks like they had some pretty awesome cartoons playing, I really should check out Casey's sometimes, it seems like a really fun place. Timmy will make note so he doesn't get attacked by frumps for not going to certain places lol

Oh my gosh, it's THE chocolate! I'm pretty sure that thing is following me around. Ever since I saw it on Jess' TR, it has showed up a few times in updates after then I go all *facepalm* It's ridiculous! I hope they have those in DL and I know I won't have to worry about the Mickey ears Love the popsicle trays and the pressed pennies, I definitely need to try and get those since I think I lost one from my first trip And a big thumbs up to the Mickey cookie cutter, their should be an amendment in the Constitution for every person to have Mickey cookie cutters

Oh, the Trolley show! That really is the first show I EVER saw in Disney. I only saw a snippet since I wanted to do other things, but it's so cute and I love the music since I grew up listening to that on the Disneyland Fun Sing A Long video. "I'm walking right down the middle of Main Street USA..." Oh and lovely castle pictures, you really like to play around with photos, don't you?

ACK! Tourist groups! I'm so glad I haven't really run into those guys. I mean, if they are worse than the cheerleaders... I am going to die. But good thing you bypassed them to go on SPLASH MOUNTAIN! I love your picture, I've actually done that picture on a log ride at a nearby theme park, well, that was the original plan, but it kinda changed lol Love unique on-ride photos! =D

Oh that's so awesome your brother likes IASW, you're right about him being a nostalgic softie and yeah, what is the whole Platypus throwing eggs about? I know they are the only mammal to lay eggs, but why must they throw them... so confused...

Can't wait to read more!

I totally agree. It really should be. I love the monorail chocolate!

Aw what a great first show!! That sing-along video is my absolute FAVORITE ever.

I do! I love taking fun castle pics!​

ACK! Tourist groups! I'm so glad I haven't really run into those guys. I mean, if they are worse than the cheerleaders... I am going to die. But good thing you bypassed them to go on SPLASH MOUNTAIN!

They ARE.

Haha I'm always like "What pose are we doing?!" And we think of it as we go up the hill.

I have NO idea. It's really strange. But yeah he does love the classics as well as the thrills. He knows that Disney is more of an experience. Smart boy.​

Chapter 16- And Don't Touch My Hat!​

July 26th, 2011​

As you can tell from my chapter title, our next destination was Mickey's Philharmagic! It was closed in January, so I was very excited to see it again!

I love the queue, it's like an adorable movie theater:

Sorcerer Mickey himself!

The Three Cabelleros.

HA. Pun.

I love the Genie.

Wheezy! I love him. He's so neglected. </3

HADES! One of the best Disney Villains.

Here's a somewhat crappy pic of me in my Oprey glasses:

Pretty soon we entered the beautiful theater:

And the show began! It was beautiful as always, from the beautiful "A Whole New World" scene to the lovely scent in the "Be Our Guest" scene.

As we came out it looked like it was about to rain, so we decided to go back to POFQ and relax for a bit.

We headed back out to the entrance...which means a new angle of the Castle! LOL.

We passed Castle Couture and Cinderella's Fountain!

As we got around to the other side of the Castle, we saw that Dream Along With Mickey was going on!

See ya later Magic Kingdom!

It started to pour when we reached the bus stop, and by the time we got on a POFQ bus 20 minutes later, it had basically stopped. Oh well. We still wanted some resort time.

We got back to POFQ and I went to browse around the gift shop while Mike and Dave went to take a nap. I got back to the room and freshened up, wrote in my TR journal, went through my pics from the morning and had a little photoshoot with myself:

Here's our towel animal that I obviously didn't include with the rest of the room pics:

...Any guesses?

After that I woke up the boys and we all headed out to the bus stop:

Where were we headed? Take a guess and you'll find out next time!

Continued in Next Post​

 

[PrincessMaggie618]

YAYYYY AN UPDATE Woah so many awesome pictures!
Wheezy is neglected </3 he's adorable
Cute mirror pics <3
I'm really curious about your towel animal. I'm like looking at it from every angle and the only thing I can figure out is theres a hidden Mickey made of stickers, but it's not really hidden, so you knew that.

 

[JessicaFaye508]

Yay for PhilharMagic I love that show. It's my fave.
Your 3-D glasses pic looks... scandalous
I like that dark castle picture. It looks really cool.
Nice mirror pictures... very classy
Thank you for updating today... I was hoping you would

p.s. the first episode of full house is OVERFLOWING with deer faces. SO funny.

 

[Aussiesalad]

Awwhhh big hooray for philharmagic! It always makes me so happy!
I agree that Wheezy needs more credit for his amazingness. So cute!

So I am pretty sure you are going to capture every single angle of the castle possible by the end of this TR... Im almost expecting you to steal the downtown disney balloon and float over it just to get the ariel shot to add to your collection

My guess is that your towel animal is a duck...that is stuck in a well?

 

[Jazzabelle508]

sorry i haven't been good about commenting on your past couple of updates! We had sorority recruitment at my school this past weekend so this entire past week has been about sorority recruitment and yeah, that didn't leave much time for anything else but eating, drinking (water and other non-alchoholic beverages), sleeping, school and of course breathing. Ok so for the updates i haven't had the chance to comment on...

Love how much your brother loves the classics like IASW and watching cartoons at casey's and of course just being in Disney (at least that was the vibe i got from that update). My brother does enjoy disney alot (he and his fiancee are going in december, for christmas actually, for their honeymoon) and loves both family classics and the thrill rides but the one ride he can't stand is IASW. we got stuck on it for a half hour once and ever since he can't even hear the song or go near the ride without cringing . he does however enjoy the Imagination ride at epcot and the old mexico ride (He was very sad when i told him they changed the ride since his last visit). I guess to each their own right? Cute that you guys spent so much time near liberty square on haunted mansion and HOP. My dad would absolutely love to go to hall of presidents (He is a history fan- his college degree was in Political Science and History but then he went into marketing and got his masters in that- all that aside he loves his history.)

Love Phillhar Magic and all of it's smells, songs and scenery. It makes me sooooooo happy! it actually love disney smells in general. I feel like everyone should go to phillharmagic at some point in every trip (for me it is a great ride to go to when it is raining). Speaking of rain, sorry about the weather. Hopefully you were under the onings by the buses once it started. That is really good or really bad timing depending on how you look at it. Do I spy the frump do in your mirror pics? All your rooms pics look great! I can't quite tell what the towel animal is suppose to be. I think it is a combination of mexico donald and mickey but i am really not sure.

Ok, time for your real-life update. You all look like you were having sooooo much fun!!!! I love doing fun charity events like the one you guys just did. The most recent event i participated in for charity was relay for life and it was sooooo much fun!!! Anyway, you guys look like you had fun. Love the full house obbsession as well! I love watching full house whenever it is on ABC family. sorry to hear about all that trauma with jerkface or whatever it was that you called him Guys are so weird sometimes. They do improve in college but they still have room for improvement. All your photoshoot pics look great! Your Friend is a great photographer! I love when my friends are good at photography. sad that olive garden was crowded At least you still had fun at BWW's. Yay for Lion King One of my school friends love lion king and went to the midnight premire of the 3D verison. Love the Harry Potter Photoshoot!!!!! You and allie's faces were hillarious for your showdown. (i'm actually listening to Harry Potter Music right now as i type this so it is funny you did that photoshoot.)The one your friends did was really serious! Love it yay for singing with the movie!!!!! that soo sounds like something I would do!!!!! I am very vocal when it comes to movies (i am trying to improve on that but it isn't a overnight thing) so i can totally imagine you guys singing with the music. Your olive garden fest sounded like fun even though you only went for dessert. That's better than nothing right? can't wait for more

P.S: Just saw you got onto pottermore- CONGRATS!!!!! You will love it!!!! I spend so much time on it trying to figure out where i was sorted. I ended up with hufflepuff which i think is the most accurate house for me but i was really hoping for gryffindor or ravenclaw. I DID NOT WANT TO BE IN SLYTHERIN, so I was happy i didn't end up there. I have started to call my house the honey badger house because of it's mascot and I also refered to it as the place where edward cullen lives because of rob pattinson.

I can't wait to see Philharmagic again! I love Wheezy too, I feel so bad for him!
