The Most MAGICAL Trip Of Them All! "EVERYTHING'S PERFECT!" Oct. 2012 UPDATE 1/11

[JessicaFaye508]

It is amazing how much interaction you are getting from the Characters!

And Gaston! Oh my! Hilarious!

I know! It was awesome
Hahaha he was PERFECT.

That's awesome! You had such an unforgettable experience, I bet!

Definitely!

Wow! What an awesome night. I didn't know there were 2 sets of Mickey/Minnie's- I've only seen the witch/magician version before!

And so cool that a CM knew you!!!

Can't wait to hear about the rest of your night!

It was so much fun! Yes, there are! That's the beauty of it No one knows!

Haha I know, right!? Disney fame!

I can't wait to tell about it!

Hi! Just trying to get caught up on everyone's TR's, I missed a lot when I was in Disney! My comments are probably all out of order, I apologize, but I read every update that I missed!

I love the Grand Floridian, it is so beautiful! I've wanted to eat at the GFC for such a long time, but for some reason, I always pick Kona over it! Next time, I'm definitely going there!

OMG the RAIN! Good thing you guys bought an umbrella, that looked crazy!

You are such a beautiful Belle! How did you figure out how to do your hair like hers??? Perfect!

I can't believe how DIS famous you are, so many people recognizing you!

Your interaction with Mickey and Minnie was amazing! I can't believe they actually sat down for you to read to them, how perfect! I don't know how you made it through that without crying, I would have been in tears! I love when character interactions are that perfect, I love that they take the time to make meetings special like that for adults, as well as kids!

I feel like I'm forgetting something, but I read like, 5 updates in a row...I should have taken notes!

Hahaha that's totally fine. Welcome back!
Ahh both of them have great food. Yeah try GFC next time and get the pancakes! They're just as good as the macadamia pineapple ones!
I asked my one friend how to do it, who has dressed up as Belle before. She just told me to part my hair in the middle and use bump its, and I figured it out from there! It took 2 or 3 tries, but we finally got it to work!
Hahaha it's pretty crazy!
Aww I know. It was literally the cutest thing! I will never forget it! I'm glad the character interactions don't stop for adults, either! We deserve love too because we are all big kids!
Haha that's okay! I'm glad you enjoyed them!​

Your trip report makes me smile!!

 

[MarieTheCat24]

It sure sounds like you had a FABULOUS MNSSHP! I'm so glad the CMs made your experience extra magical. Disney CMs are just the best.

Even the ones who can't tell the difference between Alice and Belle. I mean, really? Alice wears her hair down, guys. It's not that hard.

Aww that's such a nice compliment. Thank you!

I really did! I am glad too It was so wonderful.

HAHAHA and the fact that she's BLONDE. I mean... look at our hair colors! They look nothing alike!

I think I've seen that Captain Jack Sparrow before! He's pretty good.

Awww, what a cute moment between you and the Beast/Adam! His costume is really good too!

Oh Gaston, you're such an egomaniac and I love it. Of all of the Disney villains, I have the hardest time seeing Gaston as a really bad guy. He reminds me of a high school jock. And ohmygosh, those pictures with Gaston are priceless!

That is so funny that the CM for Mickey & Minnie follows you on Twitter! So many people at Disney recognize you, they should just give you your own character.

YOU READ TO MICKEY AND MINNIE?!? That is seriously the cutest thing EVER.

HalloWishes looks so pretty! I really need to visit during MNSSHP sometime!

He was! He had a thin face but he had his acting down pat!
Yeah it was a really good costume! I wonder where he got it.
LOL Gaston and Facillier are my favorite villains. Love it.
I know, isn't that funny!?
YES. It was adorable
Yes you definitely do!​

I finally got a chance to read your December trip report and it made me a million times more excited for my trip!!! We did the whole New Years Eve thing last year, but this will be my first time ever waking up on Christmas in Disney. I only have a little less than 5 weeks left, not like I'm counting or anything...

I'm absolutely loving your updates! Your Mickey's Not So Scary experience just sounds so MAGICAL! Can't wait to read more

 

[PanIsMine]

Joining in a little late, but I'm here. I enjoyed following your trip through Twitter. First off, all of your reviews make me want to make an ADR for every restaurant you eat at. Are you sure you don't work for Disney already?
Your character interaction is amazing. LOVE your costume. Sounds like the perfect trip! Reading your updates made me even more excited to go to Disney tomorrow.

 

[merbobear]

[emmysmommy]

Hi Jess! The MNSSHP sounded amazing from the character interactions, fireworks, and of course your admirers! You were absolutely the perfect Belle. I think you may have a future as a character after your DCP guest service position.

Chapter 7: Hanging Out With My Princess Friends
October 5th, 2012

Once the fireworks finished, we ran back to Town Square Theatre. I had to go meet up with a few of my own kind - THE PRINCESSES!

I took this picture of the Oswald billboard for Preston. The kid LOVES Oswald - he's Preston's favorite character! He just loves the history of Oswald and he's really proud that he knows the back story. It's pretty adorable. I support that obsession.

Our first meet and greet was with Cinderella and Prince Charming. Looking back on this now, this is the last time that I met Cinderella in her old dress! If you weren't aware, she now has a new dress and hair style. My personal opinion? I like the dress but don't like the hair. It just doesn't seem elegant enough to me. But I digress.

Unfortunately, I completely forgot to write about these princess meet and greets in my trip journal, so they lack a little detail. I know that they were all wonderful, though!

Cinderella and Prince Charming were very sweet, and these pictures greatly amuse me. Why? Because Prince Charming seems to be giving me much more attention than Cinderella!

She looks a little more agitated as time goes on.

Still trying to get our attention...

They asked me where the Beast was. I told them that he had the night off. He was back at his castle relaxing. Ya know. Cuz that's what Beasts do.

These pictures turned out gorgeous! I just love the background.

After that, we met Snow White and her Prince Charming. Once again, we had a lovely conversation that I failed to write down. However, they were very happy to see Belle and they were glad I was enjoying my night.

Save the best for last - RAPUNZEL AND FLYNN! Meeting these two always makes me so happy. Unfortunately, this Rapunzel was lacking some spunk. The last one I met was off-the-walls hyper (which I think that's how Rapunzel should be!) and this one was pretty static.

Flynn did most of the talking, and I was not mad about that. They asked me if I had even been to the Snuggly Duckling before and said I should give it a try. I also asked to see inside of Flynn's Satchel and LOW AND BEHOLD there was something very sparkly in there...! Ask Flynn next time you meet him if you want to see what's inside!

THEY'RE MY FAVORITES.

Once I said goodbye to all of my friends, we headed towards the castle. It was almost time for the Villain's Mix and Mingle.

LOOK OUR CLOTHES MATCH THE CASTLE!

While waiting for the show, this lady told me "my girls saw you earlier and they think you should be the real Belle!" How sweet! I loved getting comments like that. That is literally my biggest dream... hopefully someday it can come true!

We waited a little while for the show, unfortunately, due to sketchy looking weather, it got cancelled. However, all of the characters still came out to greet! So it worked out after all.

My biggest priority was meeting Dr. Facillier! OH MY GOD he was perfect. Right down to the crazy long fingers. AH!

My Mom was just like "Wow, he's so good!" And when he heard that he said, "I didn't go to 6 years of voodoo school for nothin'!"

Then we met Cruella De Ville. Wow. Whoever the woman was that played her was EXCEPTIONALLY talented. She was just CRAZY. I couldn't get over it. Her gestures were HUGE and she want just talking and talking like there was no tomorrow. She discussed with me about how the Beast would make a good throw rug hahaha. Interesting idea, Cruella...

While we were in the area, this girl and her boyfriend were dressed up as peasant Snow White and Prince Charming. She asked if we could take a picture together! How cute. She worked at the Disney Store in Staton Island but the management was really bad. She hopes to move down to Florida so she can work in Disney World instead!

Continued in Next Post​

 

[heathsf]

Great update, as always!!! I can't get over Facillier's fingers!!

 

[RachelNinja]

I love the recap of your night with all the character interactions as well as your DIS meet and your chat with the little girl! Most TR installments just include the pictures and the candy and such. I love all the little conversations you had, haha, especially with Gaston.

LOL and how hilarious is it that the character attendant follows you on Twitter! You are such a DIS celebrity, haha.

OMG, I totally believe I "know" the peasant Snow White girl who worked at the Disney Store in SI! I live in SI, and of course, my DH and I have been there a million times in the past (not so much anymore). WE TOTALLY RECOGNIZE HER because every time we saw her, we were like, "That girl is SNOW WHITE!" HAHAHA, wow, I think that's hilarious.

 

[khertz]

Great character meets!! Rapunzel is my faaaavorite, I would have loved to meet her with Flynn but we didn't go to a party. We did have great meet with DS and the princesses though. Love Dr. Facilier, he looks so creepy! You can tell just from the pics that he and Cruella were totally in character!
