That platypus is LOOKING at me! A Memorial Day 2012 Trip Report TR FINISHED 7/23!!!

[PIRATEGIRL007]

Subbing.
I am usually just obsessed with TR's before my trip it passes the time but your title intrigued me, since we were there the same time I'd love to see your persepective on everything for the same days.

Can't wait to read more.

 

[belle2211]

~ok, you seriously make me cry when I read your stuff! I laugh so hard!
~Um, specially about the times boards being a touch screen...really people?
~9 pound lemon? I really need to go on the Land!
~ I was so worried about it being awkward the whole time too, but I left telling Kory that I wished all 6 of you lived down here so we could hang out more!
~ I'm glad you got your room and it was where you wanted it!
~The singing group--oh boy!
~How did we not take any pics of our sundaes? And like Danielle said, of my side of banana??

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

Yay! I can't wait to read more! I'm glad your flights were uneventful, but it stinks being the last stop on the ME and having a noob for check-in. The flatbreads at Mara are so yummy! We may have gotten them late at night on a few occasions during our honeymoon... so good!

Gah! I can't believe I missed this one--- I must not have clicked correctly. And the flatbreads did LOOK yummy. I'm sure we'll stay at AKL again at some point, so I'll definitely try them.

at your Bev face!! LOL!!!

I love The Land ride-- it's oddly enough my favorite at EPCOT.

Jackfruiiiittt!

BAHAHA- I love that people were confused by the boards... we shouldn't laugh but...

I'm so with you on Mission: Space-- I've ridden it many times and always ask myself "WHY" after I do. It is so not fun and has not fun aftermath for my body.

It's 10am and your pizza porn is making me crave. YUM. I'll have to try this pizza the next time!

LOL at the tote bag! Whoops...

OMG. The Dooney is a beauty. I love it! I may need to get one in July...

OF COURSE the meet-up felt normal! I keep telling everyone-- we would all be friends in REAL LIFE. I love you all. The end.

So glad you ladies had a blast!

Geez, you must've been pooped after such a long day! Can't wait to read mooarrr!

LwtL is definitely one of my Epcot favorites. We started out doing it because it was just SO boring, but now we have a deep love for it. Random. And yeah, I haven't ridden M:S in about four years---- it's just not fun. The outside of that ride is really pretty at least. And if you don't get a Dooney in July, or by the time I see you in February, I will enable you to get one. I am kind of a champion enabler.

OK it's 10 in the morning here in Maine and that pizza already has my mouth watering!
Also, great choice on the Dooney Bag! *Tries to grab it though the computer*

NOOO not the dooney! I tell my hubs that everything that is mine is his and everything that is his is mine...except my purses.

Subscribing

Excited to hear about Drinking around the World

Also Mission Space = a no no for me as well! My head gets so mixed up I cant walk straight

Yay! I'm glad to have you along! Do you do M:S on the green or orange? Both just make my tummy feel... off. Not queasy, but not right either.

•I am devastated that the nine pound lemon is missing. What the poop?!
•Mmm, the pizza looks yummy.
•Yay, our meetup! We all look so snazzy.
•Ahaha, we didn't take a picture of our ice cream. Or Andrea's side of banana.
•I'm so happy you got a room! (Even though the couch seemed like a nice couch, too.)
•MORE!!

Someone must have made a LOT of lemonade. And I feel ashamed, but I forgot about the side of banana until I read this post--- and then I laughed. For a long, long time.

Awesome start Jackie

That room looks amazing and that pizza is making my mouth water!!

i'll finally get to drink around the world in october so many forms of can't wait!! xx

The room was huge. Much bigger than Bay Lake Tower, at least it seemed to be. And reading all of these posts about the pizza are making me hungry all over again!

I'm fashionably late... but at least I set your expectations

I have a lot to say!

*Good call on "close to lobby" - I would have waited as well!
*I LOVE that Dooney.... I never got close up to it.... but I really like it!
*I wanted Via Napoli yesterday--sadly I have to wait 2 weeks to eat there by myself.
*I love the Beverly faces!
*If you were to sleep in the lobby... the chairs are comfy, lol--just saying--I catnapped in them before
*I wish I was at the meet It looked fun!! Next time I'll be there!! Lol--I can see Jennifer appearing like a ninja!
*Um where in the is the 9 lb lemon?? I would have made them stop the ride and explain.
*I can't wait to read moreeeeeeeeeee!!

Yeah, I had your TR in my mind. I knew I did NOT want to be far away from the lobby. And I don't really pity you that you have to wait two weeks for Via Nap--- I won't be back in the world until NYE weekend! And you know, I should have made them explain. I need my lemon!

You must have missed my post from yesterday (or it wasn't exciting enough to comment on lol).

Anyway, some great pictures of your Beverly faces. Too funny that people thought the wait time board was a touch screen (and weird that they weren't working). VN looks delish as usual and I'm glad Andrea kept you guys well hydrated. Crossing my fingers that everything works out with your resale contract! The Beach Club is beautiful and what's not to love about Stormalong Bay! Glad the Disbrides meet up was fun and I'm glad you guys didn't have to sleep on couches at the end of the night!

Whew! I got you this time. When you said Andrea for a second, I got confused and pictured belle2211 down there giving me water. (That would have been more fun!) And fingers crossed so much on our contract. We didn't even get a chance to go into Stormalong Bay last trip, so hopefully we can sometime soon-ish.

Subbing.
I am usually just obsessed with TR's before my trip it passes the time but your title intrigued me, since we were there the same time I'd love to see your persepective on everything for the same days.

Can't wait to read more.

Oh interesting! Do you have a trip report going? I'd love to read it too.

~ok, you seriously make me cry when I read your stuff! I laugh so hard!
~Um, specially about the times boards being a touch screen...really people?
~9 pound lemon? I really need to go on the Land!

~How did we not take any pics of our sundaes? And like Danielle said, of my side of banana??

For a second, I thought I made you sad, and that made me sad. But then they were GOOD tears! And I can't believe you haven't been on LwtL. Go. Right now. Or wait until President's Day weekend and I can take you on it. And I wish we lived closer too. I ask Chris almost every day if we can move, so hopefully he says yes someday.

Day 2, Part 1: Why yes, I do hold ridiculous grudges

I woke up rather confused and had no idea where I was; but, then I remembered I was in Walt Disney World and got to go on the Haunted Mansion and I got excited all over again! I jumped out of bed and started getting ready. (Not Chris. It was only 6:30, so he slept more.)

It was a pretty, sunny morning. The Savannah was mostly quiet, but there was this little guy out and about.

Before we headed out, I made Chris take this picture with his phone so I could show my new purse to the world of Facebook. I mentioned this in passing before, but I leave my cell phone home while I am in WDW so I can become disconnected from the world and just focus on where I am. I love the little break, to be honest. BUT, anyway, I wanted to show post this picture because it shows the shirt I got at Trend-D.

It was SO cozy and fun to wear, and I got so many compliments on it from guests and CMs alike, asking me where I bought it. It made me feel special.

Anyway, so we stopped at the small gift shop at Kidani and filled up our mugs and bought cookies for breakfast. Yes, yet another breakfast of champions. Those Minnie's bakeshop cookies are delicious! We ended up arriving at the MK around 8:20, and we were very close to the entrance. I was proud of us, especially with how tired we had been the night before.

We got to see the MK opening show and, well, confession time: That show makes me cry. Lots. I try to wear my sunglasses during it so no one knows, but I cry like a little girl. True story.

So the ropes dropped and we hustled it over to Splash Mountain. We ended up making it onto the first boat of the day, which we've never done before. From there, we headed over to Dumbo because I wanted to see how they changed it.

But, walking over to Dumbo really made me appreciate just how big the new Fantasyland is going to be. Obviously I've looked at the concept art, and I know where Toontown was and everything, but I just hadn't been able to wrap my head around what it would actually feel like. Walking through that area made me SO excited for new Fantasyland. I can't wait to come back for New Year's Eve (and fight the hundreds of thousands of people) to see it all!

Anyway, so the wait for Dumbo wasn't long, thankfully.

They hand out tickets now, which I thought was kind of weird and semi-pointless, if you ask me--- but no one did! We got on our elephant and Dumbo was... well... Dumbo. Can't change it all that much.

(I took this one for Jennifer.)

From Dumbo, we walked through Fantasyland and ended up getting a fastpass for Winnie the Pooh because the wait was already 40 minutes long. It was FINALLY time to go on the Haunted Mansion!!!

So we get in the fairly short line for the Mansion; we get into the stretching room; we put ourselves underneath the umbrella girl (I hate it when people stand underneath her and don't realize that the doors are right there); we get in our doom buggy and everything is fabulous... until Chris makes me angry. Throughout the ride, I had been talking to him quietly, saying things like "How can we hear them?" so Master Gracey could reply "LISTEENNNNNNN" and I was having a grand old time. Chris, however, snapped at me "Stop! You're going to ruin the ride for everyone else!!!"

Now, I don't know much about stuff, but I knew that no one could hear me. The audio in the Doom Buggies is very loud, and I was talking in a hushed voice. It's not like we were on POTC, where you're in a boat with six rows. It was just us in our little doom buggy! I was annoyed with how he said it, and if it bothered him that much he could have said something after the ride was over. (I should also mention that the 6+ buggies before ours were completely empty. Who was I ruining the ride for, the ghosts?!?) He had just ruined the ride for me. So, I shut up, but then I gave him attitude for the next hour or so. Yes, I'm one of THOSE.

I did, however, find this little beauty at the gift cart outside of the mansion. I snatched it up because I had never seen it before.

We headed over to the Jungle Cruise, where we had a great skipper. He added his own personality to the spiel, and changed up jokes--- like instead of the Trader Sam heads bit, he simply said "Hi dad!" He also told us if he hated the JC that we should just head over to the Swiss Family Treehouse and THEN tell us what we thought. (Fun fact: I've never done the treehouse.) Naturally, whenever Chris anticipated the jokes, I told him to be quiet because he was ruining it for everyone. Oh yes.

We headed over to POTC (Chris's favorite ride), and then Winnie the Pooh. Sometime after Winnie I decided to stop being angry with Chris--- but it was difficult, let me tell you! We also waved goodbye to Snow White's Scary Adventures. The line was far too long, but at least we said our goodbyes.

We decided to get a fastpass for Buzz and then go to Cosmic Ray's for lunch. Chris had a burger; I had a BBQ pork sandwich. Those things shouldn't be good, but they are amazing!

We wanted to ride the TTA after lunch but there was, um, a line. For the TTA. I'm sorry people, we don't wait in line for the TTA. We headed over to the Carousel of Progress instead, which has always been one of my favorites.

It was finally time for our Buzz fastpass. Chris beat me, as per usual! I tried to take a picture of our scores, but failed. Alas.

It was just about that time in the Magic Kingdom when the Sun is beating down and the lines for everything are just ridiculous. We decided it was time to split, so we headed to the Yacht and Beach Club bus stop so we could walk to Epcot to drink around the world!

 

[FancyNancy]

I HEART your Trend-e shirt. So cute! I'm going to have to stop in there next Sept. I bought my trip shirt this year at World of Disney then when I came out I spotted Trend-e and was like Doh!

 

[MINNIEmeetsTINK]

Love the Shirt and the Purse!!! One day I'll get a disney dooney...

A line on TTA??? Wow... was it busy that day?

YAY drinking around the world time!!! Wooo

oh and to answer your question Ive only ridden Mission Space once and it was right after it opened (so it was probley the more intense side) but once is enough... I mean my head gets swimmy going into the mountains

 

[librarygeek]

* The pizza at Via Napoli looks delicious once again! I want pizza for dinner tonight! (Though I know it won't be as good)
* Love the Beverly pics! And Chris totally should have bought that Kermit hat
* Ellen's is the perfect time to take a nap! Pretty sure Jason and I fell asleep on that one too.
* I really like the new Dooney buttons bags. The one you picked out was awesome, even before I read the comment I noticed Belle right in the middle there!
* What was the Belle shirt that you got?
* Ahh, Disbrides meet up! Looks like you had a great time! I can't wait til I get to meet you all in February - I'm sure it will be a little awkward at first but we will get used to each other!
* Your room looks really nice! I like the Animal Kingdom feel.

 

[librarygeek]

* Ah. I missed seeing that you posted Day 2, part 1! There's the Belle shirt, so I'm answering my own question. It's super cute!
* I am fully in support of cookies for breakfast!
* I cried last time I saw the MK opening show too. It was my first day back in Disney after about 3 or 4 years and it was just surreal to me!
* I never thought about it until you said how big fantasyland will be. But it's true, it's going to be huge! I can't wait til Feb! (How many times will I be saying that in the next half a year?)
* I can relate to your Haunted Mansion incident. Stuff like that happens with me and Jason occasionally. I'm really sensitive, comments like that hurt!
* We got a FP for Winnie the Pooh too, during a slow time of year (Sept.), and we still waited for about half an hour! It was a cute ride, I really enjoyed it at least. But we only bothered to wait because we'd pretty much done everything else we wanted to do.

 

[Cinderella16]

Love this report so far.

Confession: I cry at rope drop too...and Wishes.
Every. single. time.

I'm very jealous that you are a Disbride...I almost was, but nobody would come besides DH's family, so I decided that I guess I really want my family at my own wedding... soooooo we opted for a local wedding with a Disneymoon to follow! I have my eyes on a vow renewal one day though.

I'm sure the ghosts didn't think you were ruining the ride--I probably ruin the ride for everyone on Splash Mountain when I sing along and I'm NOT a good singer.

I apologize for the randomness...I'm really looking forward to more of your report.

 

[belle2211]

First off, that Belle shirt is A-DOR-A-BLE!!!!

Second, I've never seen the opening show to MK...don't hate me!

Third...I am totally one of THOSE girls....ALL THE TIME, unfortunately! Yeah, Kory's comments upset me and piss me off so I get quiet unless I have something sarcastic and snippy to say!

 

[CAStevens218]

Hi Jackie, I'm here!! I was waiting anxiously for you to start!

I am absolutely drooling over that pizza! Yes, it is 10:40am and I'm already hungry for lunch and that pizza looks AMAZING! We are going to try it in July...can't wait!

That Dooney bag is awesome...I love the Dumbo on the front!

Yummmmm, Ghiradelli! (I am sooo hungry!!!!)

That room looks gorgeous! We were booked for AKL but then decided on Beach Club instead...but I keep going back and forth and now I'm second guessing again!

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

I HEART your Trend-e shirt. So cute! I'm going to have to stop in there next Sept. I bought my trip shirt this year at World of Disney then when I came out I spotted Trend-e and was like Doh!

Gahhh! I hate it when that happens. I ended up finding another Belle shirt later in the trip, but I made myself resist that one.

Love the Shirt and the Purse!!! One day I'll get a disney dooney...

A line on TTA??? Wow... was it busy that day?

YAY drinking around the world time!!! Wooo

oh and to answer your question Ive only ridden Mission Space once and it was right after it opened (so it was probley the more intense side) but once is enough... I mean my head gets swimmy going into the mountains

It was prettty busy! Sunday was even busier. And I rode before they had both sides too--- I'm with you on the swimmy head.

* The pizza at Via Napoli looks delicious once again! I want pizza for dinner tonight! (Though I know it won't be as good)
* Love the Beverly pics! And Chris totally should have bought that Kermit hat

* Your room looks really nice! I like the Animal Kingdom feel.

-I bullied you into making a Via Nap ressie, right? I hope I did.
-And I cannot WAIT until February! I am sooo excited.

* Ah. I missed seeing that you posted Day 2, part 1! There's the Belle shirt, so I'm answering my own question. It's super cute!

-I was a little confused! But then I saw this, and I giggled. <3
-I'm pretty sensitive at times too. Boys are just stupid. I made sure to tell him he was ruining the ride for everyone when he laughed during POTC too. Yup.
-I really like Winnie the Pooh! I never get to do Peter Pan though, which was my favorite when I was little. The line is always absurddd.

Ohhh, let's not even start on me crying during Wishes. It is ridiculous. And we had a VERY small wedding (just 18, including us!) but I wouldn't have changed that for the world. Thanks for jumping in!

You need to get it! It's really comfy. And GASP!!! I know what we're doing in February. (That's okay, I've never been to Jellyrolls. That WILL change though.) I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who can be like that. Makes me feel a LOT better.

Hi Jackie, I'm here!! I was waiting anxiously for you to start!

I am absolutely drooling over that pizza! Yes, it is 10:40am and I'm already hungry for lunch and that pizza looks AMAZING! We are going to try it in July...can't wait!

Oh yay! I am so excited to hear about your honeymoon. Are you staying on the villas side or the normal side? The Beach Club is my FAVORITE hotel. So don't change it!!!

 

[CAStevens218]

Oh yay! I am so excited to hear about your honeymoon. Are you staying on the villas side or the normal side? The Beach Club is my FAVORITE hotel. So don't change it!!!

Glad to hear its your favorite...we are reallllyyy excited about it! I can't wait to try the pool and I'm excited to be close to EPCOT and the Boardwalk and everything.

We are staying on the regular side, garden view. That is our last 4 nights...the first 6 are Port Orleans Riverside in a Royal Room!

I've never gone in the summer and this is also our first time with park hoppers, so I have been spending an unhealthy amount of time making plans and changing them, and making ADRs and changing them!!

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

So I'm a little lonely today, and I was getting grumpy, and I really don't feel like studying right this second... so what better thing to do than to update the Trip Report?!?!

Day 2, Part 2:Wait... you have to pay for shots?!?

Our plan for the afternoon was to drink as far around the world as we could manage. Chris and I are not big drinkers, both of us having been drunk only twice, but we've recently become more comfortable with alcohol. One thing I find really funny about Chris is he is not an adventurous eater at ALL, but he'll drink almost anything because he just assumes he won't like it. Sometimes, he's pleasantly surprised!

We decided to skip Canada because neither of us like beer. Chris will drink beer, but I think it tastes vile. I definitely live in the wrong city!

We headed to the Rose and Crown pub and we got something called an English Rose--- some sort of delicious concoction of various liquors and sweet juices. It was delicious, but we ended up drinking them way too fast because they tasted so good.

I had actually never been in the pub before, but I fell in love with it. It was dark and cool, and we even managed to find seats. Fully cooled off and hydrated, we headed to France next.

I have a sincere love affair with the Grand Marnier Orange Slushes. Chris prefers the Grey Goose Lemonade ones. (Fun fact: the guy who invented Grey Goose went to my high school and he donated bunches of money.)

Okay, so Chris took this picture of me. What am I doing?!?!

I really like orange slushies.

We were starting to feel... well... more than good at this point, but we headed onward to Morocco! Surprisingly, Morocco has some really good fruity drinks. They were kind of rude to me though because it took me a few moments to figure out how to get my ID out of my bag. I felt like they thought I was underage and was trying to scam them... I'm 24 and an old married lady, Morocco Guys. Also, we didn't get carded in France or England!
Anyway, Chris ordered some sort of lime slushie, and I got a pina colada. I found it funny that they just added a shot or two of alcohol to the normal slush. No fuss there!

Chris, demonstrating that he is, indeed, an adult, by putting his straws up his nose.

Naturally, I had to copy him.

We walked around slowly (hey, it had been a long day and our feet hurt by this point), and I needed a break at this point. I headed into the Japan store (the one with the complicated M name that I don't feel like spelling) to get my friend Becky a birthday present, and Chris headed over to get some sake.

I was picking up a Hello Kitty baby stuffed animal for Becky, as she is pregnant and she told me I could be her baby daughter's fairy godmother. (Not a religious thing or anything, just a glittery-girly-thing.) Becky loves Hello Kitty, so I just had to grab it for her. However, when I headed to the counter to pay, the girl said....

Congratulations

However, she had a rather thick accent, and I was three drinks in and feeling more than good at this point, so I didn't understand what was going on. But then she said...

Congratulations

again, and I realized that she thought I WAS PREGNANT!!!! I most certainly am not pregnant, and if I had been, I would have easily won Worst Future Mother Award at this point. If I hadn't been tipsy, I certainly would have been humiliated, but luckily I was able to brush it off. It still hurts my pride a little to think of, but I am mostly over it.

I met up with Chris again, who didn't seem to like his sake much...

and told him about my Congratulatory moment. He told me not to worry about it and just to get another drink. I didn't want a drink though--- I decided right then and there that I needed a Mickey pretzel. I needed that Mickey pretzel more than I have ever needed anything in my life. So we headed to America, or as Chris calls it, "Americaland."

Let me tell you, that pretzel was amazing. I wish I could have one right now. Chris got yet another alcoholic frozen lemonade.

Chris downed his lemonade pretty quickly, and I decided I wanted to get a shot in Germany. Chris wanted one too, but I told him he wasn't allowed to because he had just plowed through his last drinks pretty quickly. I remember the line for beer/shots/pretzels being short, but it seemed to take forever. A rather nice man in a scooter started talking to us and wished Chris happy birthday... I don't really remember more of the conversation!

I was carded in Germany, so I handed over my ID. He gave it back to me, then poured my shot. I said thank you, and started walking away... and he called after me "Miss! Miss! You forgot to pay me!!!" Apparently, my addled brain had thought that my ID was a form of payment. I was so embarrassed, and I rushed over to pay him. Chris and I laughed about it for the rest of the trip though!

Speaking of which, Chris ate half of my pretzel while I was in line. Jerk. The shot was apple flavored, and it went down very sweet, but left a strong aftertaste.

We decided to hit up China again for more slushies, and got the same thing we had had the previous day: some sort of sour-y thing for him, and something called a Peach Snap for me. We took it to the sitting area in Norway, and that's when we really started to feel it.

I look so sad!!

Well, I started to feel it. Chris looks pretty happy still.

There was a receipt on the table when we sat down, and at one point Chris looked at it and said "What?!?! When did I buy this stuff?! I don't even know what schoolbread IS!!!!" I gently pointed out that the name wasn't his, and he laughed for a veryyyy long time.

And then... and then he got tired.

And he asked me to take a picture of the "bat."

Jack, you're judging me. STOP JUDGING ME!

Chris headed to the restrooms, which were voted the worst restrooms in WDW by the WDWtoday podcast, so I decided that was Picture Worthy. (I wasn't in my right mind, I promise.)

When he returned, I got up and got us our sixth and seventh drinks...

(I was trying to be "artsy" with the sunglasses.)

The water definitely helped me, and I felt a million times better after I downed my bottle. Chris, however, ended up pouring half of his over his face! Unsurprisingly, I sobered up a lot quicker than he did.

When I was ready to walk, we headed out slowly and went to Mouse Gear and loaded up on stuff. I got Becky a baby's first Christmas ornament, and we got a Mickey ladle and an ice cream scooper, and the Phineas and Ferb soundtrack.

And then, well, I also got this little beauty...

Isn't she just gorgeous??!

We headed to the bus stop, and luckily didn't have to wait long for a bus. We were off to our room to relax and sober up--- we were headed to Jiko for dinner that night.

 

[Cinderella16]

Great update. You crack me up!
You truly captured what it means to "drink around the world" in your pictures. DH and I are not really drinkers but, I must say some of those drinks look downright delicious! Too funny about the forgetting to pay for the shots, I bet it happens more often than you think though.

 

[scrdofbugs]

I am enjoying your report!! I love your new purse!! Where did you get it?

 

[jlocmac]

-We heard them sing the bday song to someone. I def know how he feels on that.

-You make me sick with your Dooney's and your cute Belle shirt. I tried on like 4 different dresses and didn't like any of them. I think I'm just too picky or judgmental of myself. ha
-Yay!! Our meet up!! I have mad ninja skills!! It wasn't as awkward as the meet up we had my bday weekend!! I think that's because there were more girls at that one. We had a good time though.. even with that "choir" "singing"!! I can't believe we didn't take any pics of the desserts.. or Andrea's side of banana!!! LOL!! I was really amazed that time went by that fast! I told Charley afterwards that we would all be BFFs if we lived near each other!!! lol
-I think our pics turned out great! Why am I so short?!?!
-I've really got to learn to take pics of our room. I so suck at that. BTW looking at your room pics makes me want to cry. It reminds me sooooooooo much of our HM at Jambo!!! Why didn't you steal those curtains for me?!?!
-Was your couch comfy?????

2:1
-Don't you hate when your lost upon waking??!
-I got angry every single time the animals weren't out on our savannah. I paid for them to be there!!! LOL
-And again I say.. You make me sick with your pretty pretty Dooney! And you're snazzy Belle shirt! I feel like those kinds of shirts just don't look good on me. Of course I always go shopping with Charley, who tells me everything looks good. Maybe we'll go shopping in Feb, and you can give me your opinion!! (that's if I take care of those CCs.. haha)
-Yay MK!! We made it for opening too!!!!!! We got there about 8:10am, but we went in on the right side!
-You went to Splash, that's why we didn't see you! We went to Space!
-I can't wait for the new Fantasyland to be done!
-I haven't done Dumbo either. The line is always ridic!
-Haunted Mansion!!!
-You should've punched Chris where the sun don't shine. I hate when Charley makes comments like that. You can beat your sweet mmhmm that the day wouldn't be pleasant afterwards.. just ask Charley! He says that I don't have to physically harm someone. I can cut a person to their core with my words!! LOL! Maybe I shouldn't be proud of that.. but... I AM!
-I saw that window sticker!
-I would've done the same thing on JC! He deserved it!! ha
-We went on Snow. It didn't take long to get through the line.
-Oh yummmmmm BBQ pork sandwich. I could live off of that for the whole trip!

2:2
-I love how yall aren't big drinkers until it's time to go to Disney!! LOL Yall did way better than we would've!
-I like the Lemonade Slush over the Orange, but both are too strong for me! Awesome fun fact BTW
-You're asking him for some money?!
-Don't try to scam the Morocco Guys. They can't have underage girls running around all 'willy nilly'!!
-Straws in nose pic brings back my question from FB yesterday... are you really mature now?!?!?!
-You should've punched that CM and told her congrats! I'm glad Chris was so sympathetic!! LOL
-I want a Mickey pretzel. I still haven't had one!
-Is that frozen lemonade strong?
-I seriously LOLed when I read that part about you taking off without paying for your shot! That's freakin hilarious, and you better be glad I wasn't with you at the time!
-Chris looks reeeeeeaaaaaaalllllllyyyyyyyyyy DRUNK!
-I LOLed even harder about the receipt comment!! That's something I would do sober!
-I LOVE THE BAT!
-I'm pretty sure you were judging him.
-Dooney girl, you make me sick!
-Yall def need to go take a nap!!!

YAY I'm caught up now!! Aren't you soooo happy?!?! Did I comment enough?

Gahhh! I hate it when that happens. I ended up finding another Belle shirt later in the trip, but I made myself resist that one.

You need to get it! It's really comfy. And GASP!!! I know what we're doing in February. (That's okay, I've never been to Jellyrolls. That WILL change though.) I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who can be like that. Makes me feel a LOT better.

What other Belle shirt did you see????? Okay, so in Feb, we are doing The Land, seeing the opening show and going to Jellyrolls! (among other things)..yay!

 

[belle2211]

OMG! I love that Doombuggy sticker! I gasped when I saw it and Rob thought something was wrong. He was right! It's wrong that I don't have that sticker! Anyways, I would totally hold a grudge as well. Don't mess with me in my happy place! Glad you got him back on the JC. The pictures from drinking around the world are priceless with the ones towards the end being especially amazing. I am definitely envious of your Dooney collection. How on earth do you decide which one to use everyday?!
