The Frumps Have Hit the Wall... And No One's Mad. "FART SHOES." UPDATE 1/20

[PlutosRHM55]

Woah, I'm caught up on yet another Frump TR! I feel extremely accomplished now... maybe not extremely, but at least a little accomplished This trip looks so far like it was definitely a VERY fun one. I love the Design-A-Tee shirts you guys made! When I was there, my friends and I almost did it, but we just bought one at the World of Disney store along with a bazillion pins... it will definitely happen on my next trip especially if it's with the same friends for the graduation trip I'm hoping to plan. Though I don't know how I may top the name, "The Flower and Frump Festival". Creative!

to your epic pin trading endeavors! I think I may have developed a similar infatuation with the dancing people sign/pin now because of seeing it all over the DIS. I wonder where I can find it now that two are taken. Maybe, by reading this TR, the luck of the Frump will rub off onto me... Anyways, another big to the Crystal Palace and Katie's reaction to seeing the Castle. I'm pretty sure my reaction was more dramatic, but the words don't come easy when seeing the Castle so "pretty" works And I love the CP, so glad to hear you guys have learned to love it even after your first time there. Gotta go to breakfast sometime there for me, the Breakfast Lasagna looks like it's to die for and you can't ever go wrong with some Mickey Waffles

Can't wait to read more!

Oh man, your Avengerail picture is awesome! I stalked that stretch of the monorail track outside of MK for a solid half hour, and I only managed to get bits and pieces of it because it was on the track that was furthest from where I was standing. Womp womp.

Can I just say that I love that breakfast has warranted three separate posts? Definitely the most important meal of the day!

 

[JessicaFaye508]

Love your pink shirts - especially the shot of you and Kristen with piglet. Lots of pink! Nice empty Main Street pics!
Love the Avengers monorail shot. I have pictures of pieces of it (particularly pictures of Thor) but was never far enough away to get a full shot of it. I was obsessed with getting pictures of it. We lucked out and got to ride it too

Thank you! Gotta love pink - it's my favorite color! (Well, one of many. ) Thank you, I'm glad you like the pictures! That's awesome that you actually rode it! I don't think we did.

Oh my goodness! I found that magical ribbons site once before but she was closed at the time (and a few times after) and I completely forgot to go back! I'll have to make a mental note right now and order some once she opens back up again. Her bows are absolutely amazing!!​

​

Ahh well you need to go order some bows! I think she was actually open today, which is weird! You gotta be on the lookout for her because she opens and closes so often! They are absolutely incredible!

Hi girls,
I'm really enjoying your trip report. Jess I have been "lurking" with yours for a while . Enjoyed reading about your character audition.
I noticed your cover for your Ipad can you tell me where you got it?
Thanks
Lisa

Hello! Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked hearing about that!
I don't have an iPad... so I'm not sure which case you're referring to. Do you want to post the picture? I'd be happy to tell you where it's from!

Thanks, I just looked briefly at a couple auctions and the prices are amaaaazing, so that is wonderful. I hate to pay full price for pins that we are just going to trade. Not to mention that if I picked out a pin, I would develop an emotional attachment to it and want to keep it forever, so I would probably never end up trading it at all! lol

I agree her birthday surprise is going to be amazing. I wish someone would surprise me on my birthday with a Disney trip. Surprising me right this second would work too

I know, right!? Such a relief! I only buy pins at full price if I am absolutely 100% going to keep them because they're SO expensive!

I know, me too!! My Mom said she will probably never do that though because she needs me to plan everything. Ah well.

All caught up!! YEAH!!

I have not eaten at the CP in years. Wow more than I'd like to admit actually. I think I am going to have to go back next time we go to WDW with my niece. I love Winnie the Pooh and his french toast looks tasty!!

Yeah yeah!
Aww you definitely should! CP is one of my top favorites!

Love Crystal Palace! The charachters weren't that good when I was there last year either..kind of boring. The best I've had were at Garden Grill. I love those hot pink Mickey tanks! Where did you guys get them??

Garden Grill and Chef Mickey's are the best for character interaction in my opinion! Kristen actually was at Garden Grill tonight! Lucky girl!

We got the shirts at Target!

I admit it...since I am a frump, I also enjoy watching Stacey on the resort TV. When I went on Dumbo on my last trip (January of 2011), I actually told my Dumbo "Let's fly high, buddy!" I'm not sure if that was the correct quote, but you get the point.

Haha who wouldn't love Stacey!? We quote her all the time!

With every update you post, I kick myself! "Why didn't I do that! That looks awesome! I want to go there next time!"
Officially consulting you before my next trip (God knows when that will be)

Aww well write a list for next time, for sure! That's what I always do! And yes, I would LOVE to offer any tips that I had if you need them! I hope you go back soon!

LOL you should feel accomplished! It's a big deal!
It was great! You should definitely make Design A Tee's next time! I'm glad you liked our frumpy name we came up with hahaha
That is the best pin EVER! We loved that sign even before we knew it was a pin!
Haha I wish I remembered my first reaction! The castle was just sort of always part of my life. Ya know. Disney child through and through! That's why I like to bring first timers to Disney!
Oh, I have ALWAYS loved CP since I was a baby. We just had an overwhelming dinner experience that one time, with the combination of the crowds and Vickie being sick. It wasn't the restaurant or the food, just other factors. I always have and always will love CP!
Thank you! (ps I appreciated the length of your comments today - they were great! )

Thank you! I'm sorry you couldn't get a picture! I feel like stuff like that always happens to me! I can snap a picture when I'm not trying to get anything specific, but when I decide I want a certain one, it never happens!

Hahaha we just took a BOAT LOAD of pictures!​

 

[petals]

love the matching t-shirts.

CP is so much fun. I had lunch there in November love it!

 

[merbobear]

Well, that does it. I'm having breakfast at CP on my next vacation. I have only had dinner there before, and it's great and amazing and perfect and all, but that puffed french toast looks like it could be great amazing & perfect too. Plus mickey waffles! woot. I try to eat my entire body weight in mickey waffles every morning of a Disney vacation, so CP will help me in that mission.

Stinks you had a boring character experience and non existent server! Our last vacation, my dd and Tigger bounced together. It was basically adorable!

YES YES YES! I'm sure you're going to love it!! I would choose CP breakfast over dinner any day of the week because it is THAT good! I hope you enjoy it! Everything is perfect. Mickey waffles are where it's at.

It wasn't terrible... but those types of things can make the dining experience so much better. Ah well. We had plenty of magical moments coming up! And AWW that's so cute!! I love hearing about moments like that!​

 

[MarieTheCat24]

Are y'all ready for my giant 'Catch up on everything I missed over the past two weeks' comment?

First of all, I experienced the Wolfgang Puck mac&cheese for the first time last week and HOLY MICKEY MOUSE it was incredible! It had the spiraled noodles too and I really think they added to the taste. More surface area for the cheese to glom onto or something. Next trip, I will have to make multiple trips to WPE because I really want to try the pesto pizza too!

I love the sundresses! I didn't see them when I was down there because I refused to let myself go into Tren-D.

Your shirts are so cute! We'll definitely have to do that whenever we do our girls trip.

I love your matching Minnie tanks! Adorable.

I'm happy to report that all of the tarps on Main Street are down now. The Bakery looks absolutely gorgeous! Seriously. It's almost as pretty as the goodies they sell.

Muppetvision 3D glasses pin? That's almost as brilliant as the Maelstrom FP one.

Breakfast at Crystal Palace looks delicious. The Breakfast Lasagna sounds amazing. I love that they bring out cupcakes at breakfast too! I'm sorry the character interactions weren't great, but it definitely sounds like the food mde up for it.

CASTLE.

 

[Disneydude97]

For the next two days, Preston and I ran errands, packed, hung out, and were major frumps while we got ready to leave. We always kept Disney movies going, so we watched A Bug's Life, Toy Story 1, 2, and 3, Peter Pan, and Tangled!

​

You know, the Bug's Life DVD actually has two tracks with just the muisc and just the FX. You really should try to dub the film using your own voices for the characters. I think I'd be a good Flik.

"TO INFINITY AND BEYOND! Sorry. I couldn't resist. I mean, really, can you blame me?"

 

[ThroughLookingGlass]

OHMYGOSH WE WERE IN DISNEY AT THE SAME TIME?! I went May 16th-20th. I literally just started my trip report today and mentioned that I couldn't sleep the night before my trip, so I passed the time by catching up one one of your trip reports!!!

 

[JessicaFaye508]

Are y'all ready for my giant 'Catch up on everything I missed over the past two weeks' comment?

I am! I hope my 1 million Christmas report updates didn't put you too far behind either! Hopefully you'll be able to catch up eventually ​

HOORAY HOORAY I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I seriously am obsessed with that stuff. The spiral noodles are just FUN! I love them. And yes, you definitely have to try that pizza. GAHH best meal EVER.​

I love the sundresses! I didn't see them when I was down there because I refused to let myself go into Tren-D.

Thank you! Hahaha wow, nice will power. I don't think I could do it. The temptation is too much!!​

Your shirts are so cute! We'll definitely have to do that whenever we do our girls trip.

Thank you! ABSOLUTELY! That trip needs to happen soon!! And those shirts will be fantastic! "Frumps Meet World" YEAH YEAH! ​

I love your matching Minnie tanks! Adorable.

Thank you!​

I'm happy to report that all of the tarps on Main Street are down now. The Bakery looks absolutely gorgeous! Seriously. It's almost as pretty as the goodies they sell.

I can't wait to see the Bakery's new look!! I bet it's beautiful!​

Muppetvision 3D glasses pin? That's almost as brilliant as the Maelstrom FP one.

I KNOW! I'm so glad I own it!​

Breakfast at Crystal Palace looks delicious. The Breakfast Lasagna sounds amazing. I love that they bring out cupcakes at breakfast too! I'm sorry the character interactions weren't great, but it definitely sounds like the food mde up for it.

YUM it's the best breakfast in the entire world. It's fine, it didn't phase me! I enjoyed myself!​

CASTLE.

YAY!

Does it? That's cool!
Not at all!

YES oh my gosh we were! Aww that's really cute - I'm glad you read our TR's as part of your pre-disney ritual! What an honor! I hope you had a magical trip! ​

 

[katt789]

Yay for updates!! First off, love the matching minnie shirts, second off, love the bow!! (& tumblr!) third: great shots of an empty MK, I love pre park adrs for that reason! I also adore crystal palace!! Such amazing food! I agree with the breakfast lasagna, but have to disagree on the stuffed french toast, maybe it was too hyped up, or I was just comparing it to tonga toast, but it didnt make my favorites list!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like the pictures! We got some awesome ones! I'm sorry you didn't like the puffed french toast. It's still one of my top Disney favorite foods! I never thought to compare it to Tonga Toast, they seem completely different to me.​

 

[PanIsMine]

Hi Jess! Joining this TR, too. What a great start to your trip- DTD and MK. Oh, and lots of great food. That Mac and Cheese at WPE is a must eat for me in two weeks. Oh my goodness- those pillows! I might need to get one.... or two.
Breakfast looks amazing. I must try CP for breakfast one day.
You and Kristen remind me so much of me and my best friend. I definitely think I'm a frump. And fart shoes- I am adding that to my vocabulary. Love it!

 

[DerangedChipmunk]

Looks like you all had so much fun in the Crystal Palace!

I haven't been to the CP since I was four years old, maybe it's time we revisit?

But it's official! We're booked for a week at Coronado Springs This October. Any suggestions for the best rooms?

Yay welcome, welcome! Thank you! I hope you get to eat it - that Mac and Cheese is INCREDIBLE! And those pillows are adorable! I bought three

Aww that's cute. Being a frump is awesome! And I'm glad you appreciate fart shoes. It is just too fun to say.

Looks like you all had so much fun in the Crystal Palace!

But it's official! We're booked for a week at Coronado Springs This October. Any suggestions for the best rooms?

We did! You definitely need to go back!
YAYYYY how exciting! We stayed in the Casitas section! It was great because it wasn't too far away from the main section. Especially if you don't have a car, you're going to want to get near "El Centro" because the resort is HUGE. Ranchos are the farthest away, I believe.

It was the best cake I ever had in my life. Besides my Little Mermaid cake my Mom made for my 5th birthday!

Yeah, Preston did great! He's awesome! ​

-When I do the DCP I am seriously going to make a new shirt every week.....I'm going to have double the amount of clothes when I go back!

Yes you do! WPE is the best QS on property - hands down.
Haha I know, the DCP is going to take all of my money! But oh well, at least it'll be worth it.​

-Here's my shirt, even though I didn't end up buying it

-I love the "No Dancing" pin! I need one!
-I am in LOVE with that dress! I wish they sold that kind of stuff at the Disney Store!

Gray, Black, and white? I don't remember.
Thanks!
Thank you!
You definitely should!
I don't use photopass anymore because it is RIDICULOUSLY overpriced. My camera takes better pictures, in all honesty. I just don't think it's worth it.
You definitely do!
Thanks!​
