Chapter 1- The Day BEFORE Disney World!
July 24th, 2011

Here we go! Your first update! If you're as excited as I am, that means you like me! Yay! :rotfl:

So, the day before we went to Disney, my brother and I were running all around our house and packing like madmen. He finished before me and headed off to spend the evening with his girlfriend, Katie, who will be mentioned quite a few times throughout this report.

Meanwhile, I finished packing.



Did I say finished? I mean started. :laughing:

I packed my parks bag, which was also my personal item for the plane, and attached my lime green Mickey, of course! :goodvibes

I also packed my Vera wristlet, two of the books I had to read this summer,

and of course, these little beauties. :lmao:

dsc01437u.jpg


Ironically enough, I never actually ended up wearing them, but I just couldn't go to Disney without them!

All done packing! :thumbsup2

I then ripped off the last chain on my countdown I had been doing for last two weeks. Here are some pics of the chain while it was being made and while it was still intact. It's full of quotes from Disney parks and movies.

I then decided it was high time for one of my favorite things to do before I go to Disney...paint my nails! :woohoo:

I decided to channel the Disney characters and parks in my nails for this trip, and although it took a few corrections, changes of mind, and a few long hours, I was very happy with the finished product. Here they are!

In order from left to right: Mickey Mouse, Rapunzel's colors with a black Mickey head, Harry Potter (represented houses are Gryffindor, Slytherin and Ravenclaw, with the Deathly Hallows symbol and the letters "HP" at the top), Donald Duck, and last but most certainly not the least, THE MONORAIL. :love:

And here's the other hand!

From left to right: Jasmine, Ariel, Winnie the Pooh, Minnie Mouse, and Woody/Jessie.

After those were done and while they were drying, I checked into my flight, had dinner with my family, and caught up on the DIS. That night seemed to be a big night for TR updates, so I was kept very entertained. :thumbsup2

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was on abc family, so I watched that while snacking on something incredibly divine...

...RED VELVET ICE CREAM. :cloud9:

It was delicious, and it really got me excited for all the other yummy Disney food that I'd be eating very soon! :yay:

After Harry Potter was over I tried to get some sleep, but I couldn't. I WAS TOO FREAKIN' EXCITED!!!! :cheer2: So I stalked the DIS some more and watched the Proposal, followed by some reruns of That 70's Show. Then, at about 2 a.m., I FINALLY fell asleep.

haha wow those are some super crazy nails there :rotfl2: very cute. I'm shocked that you never wore the Minnie ears though that's like a first I've heard but I guess the nails balance out your Disney spirit levels. You totally would leave all the packing until the night before and stay up till 2 eating cheesecake ice cream though ;). You better have saved some I want it like right now lol.
 

Love the Soarin' reference with your "little beauties". Too bad you didn't get to wear them.

Impressive nails girly! I am definitely not that good at doing mine. I have right handed person syndrome. The left hand ends up looking great. The right hand.......uh.......

I do think I am going to have to "borrow" your food of the day idea for my October TR. Since it's going to be food and wine, I think it should be appropriate.

I love all of your Disney lyrics and quotes. I am going to have to look at them in more detail to see if I can identify what they're from.
 
Jumping in cause I'm excited to read it.

:welcome:

Haha thanks. :p I know I was kinda shocked too it was weird. I just didn't feel like it I guess! But yes they totally do. :wizard: Haha I know right? I ALWAYS wait till the night before to pack. It's pretty bad but it's just how I always do it. But the ice cream is gone. HAHAHA sorry! It was too good to save. :upsidedow

Hahaha I'm glad you picked up on that reference! You're the first one! :thumbsup2 I just kinda forgot to wear them.

Haha I still have that syndrome a little bit, but thanks!

Please do borrow it! It's really a great way to keep track of your favorite things. :goodvibes That will definitely be appropriate!

Thanks! Haha it'll be a test of your Disney knowledge. :)

:lovestruc the nails! I can't stand to keep my nails long or I think I would get creative after seeing that! Not too much nail to work with though.. :goodvibes

Can't wait for more! :cheer2:
 
Funny that you and your brother were racing to finish up packing.

Cute idea for a trip countdown calendar. I liked seeing all the quotes you included. I was very impressed with how many you happened to remember. Right before a trip my mom and i are always quoting disney.

Very impressed with you nails. They are so detailed. I would never have the paitence to make such detailed nails. I liked seeing Harry Potter stuff make your nails as well as disney stuff :)

I didn't know ben and Jerry's makes red velvet ice cream, now i find myself really wanting to try it.

Yay for watching harry potter and the order of the phoenix :) That is my favorite of the movies (and oddly enough my least favorite of the books). The weekend before my most recent trip to disney my family and I watched all the movies right after each other. (in case you couldn't already tell i'm very obsessed with harry potter- i love it almost as much as i love disney!)

Thanks so much! :goodvibes I used to bite all my nails off but then I decided to kick the habit, and it really paid off!
 
I seriously love love love love your nails. So creative and so well done!!! I want to see all your paperchains and read them when I come over :) Since I could only read a little bit in the pictures :lovestruc Since I REALLY doubt you threw them out. write more, write more, write more popcorn::
 
I'm loving the nails!!! That's so adorable - I wish I could be that creative. My nails would end up looking like a 2 year old painted them :lmao:

I'm popping over to the other TR to read about all the craziness I've heard about :rotfl:

Hahaha. Needless to say, he won. :laughing:

Thanks! I loved remembering them all and theming each link. I always quote Disney too, though, so I just used a lot of my normal quotes, but I did have to think about some to remember them.

Very impressed with you nails. They are so detailed. I would never have the paitence to make such detailed nails. I liked seeing Harry Potter stuff make your nails as well as disney stuff :)

Thank you! Well you will see why Harry Potter is included on my nails soon enough. ;) haha.

I didn't know ben and Jerry's makes red velvet ice cream, now i find myself really wanting to try it.

It is sooo good! If that day had a Food of the Day, that would be it, hands down. :thumbsup2

So do I! It's so nice to know that there are people that are obsessed with both like me! I'm actually planning an HP marathon soon with a few friends, it should be great! The Order of the Phoenix is my second favorite book and movie, so I loved it as always. Deathly Hallows takes the cake for me, though. :)
 
If possible and you have time could you show/tell us what your quotes were on the chain? I love this idea and will be borrowing it for our trip in May.

Hahaha you're right, I kept them all. :goodvibes Hehe. But thank you!! It's like my one creative thing that I'm actually good at! :laughing: And I will, I will, I will! But not for a few days probably...considering I won't be home. LOL.

Thank you so much! My nails used to, but then I sort of mastered it I guess. :goodvibes

YES! Please read the Port Report! It's a great one. :thumbsup2



 
If possible and you have time could you show/tell us what your quotes were on the chain? I love this idea and will be borrowing it for our trip in May.

Sure! I basically took all of my favorite movies, rides, shows and other Disney parks things and split them up for each link. There were 14 links because I made it two weeks prior to my trip. They including Wishes, the monorail, Festival of the Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean, Muppet Vision 3-D, the Jungle Cruise, Illuminations, Soarin', Finding Nemo: the musical, Stacy, the Rope Drop show, the Sing Alongs movie from the 80's, Tangled, and a few others. Just pick your favorite quotes and lines, your favorite colors for the paper, and divide it up however you want! :thumbsup2
 
Great start, Kristen! Love your lime green mickey tag! (: That was very creative adding your DIS name on there too. :teeth: Your countdown chain is awesome too, :thumbsup2 to the SpectroMagic quotes (:

Wow, those are some intense finger nails (does that sound right?), but where is Hufflepuff? You know they are very good finders! :laughing:

Oh my gosh, there is Red Velvet Ice Cream! I only thought you get it cupcake-flavored at the most magical place on Earth. I still have tried either LOL, but I might have to get the Ben & Jerry's to test it out. :teeth:

Can't wait to read more! :mickeyjum

P.S. I beat Jess! :D

Thanks! I love Spectro. :lovestruc I miss it.

Wow, those are some intense finger nails (does that sound right?), but where is Hufflepuff? You know they are very good finders! :laughing:

There was no room for Hufflepuff haha sorry. No offense, but they're my least favorite house.

Oh my gosh, there is Red Velvet Ice Cream! I only thought you get it cupcake-flavored at the most magical place on Earth. I still have tried either LOL, but I might have to get the Ben & Jerry's to test it out. :teeth:

You should, it's fabulous. :goodvibes

Thanks! But today doesn't count. She's at her college orientation today. Sorry! :laughing:
 
Thanks! I love Spectro. I miss it.

Me too, though I like MSEP too. I wish they would bring both back. For now, I watch it on my iPod :teeth:

There was no room for Hufflepuff haha sorry. No offense, but they're my least favorite house.

None taken, they're my least favorite house, too, that's why I DON'T want to be in that house. I can't find anything to like about it, and I can about every other house LOL

You should, it's fabulous.

Oh I meant to say "haven't", but I think you got that, so whatever :D

Thanks! But today doesn't count. She's at her college orientation today. Sorry! :laughing:

-_- And my victory is short-lived.
