The Port Report: Frumpin Around the World with the Bathrobe Princesses :) COMPLETE

[JessicaFaye508]

Nice update! It sounds like a great night! Your CL pics are killing me! I saved $500+ today by switching our summer Vero Beach room to my friend's CM Discount so I figured on our last night maybe I'd surprise my parents (30th wedding anniv in June) and cancel our room at WL and upgrade to Poly CL but I LOVED YC but of course it's sold out since it's mid June but I'm trying to decide if Poly is worth it since I've never done it and they had their Disneymoon at CR in 1981 so it would be kind of cool to do that 30 years later..I don't know we'll see. It's $94 extra to stay the one night CL than just a garden room at Poly. Maybe I'll tell them I booked Poly and not tell them about CL haha..sorry I just totally hijacked the post!!!!! The desserts look wonderful though!!! Is the lounge 24/7 now bc when we stayed in Aug they were trying it out the week after we left to make them 24/7???

Thank you! I read that you did in fact switch to Club Level, and I am very excited for you I really really want to stay at the Poly CL because I saw pictures and the food looks so good! I think that since you saved, you might as well do something special with that money! You only live once! YAY CLUB LEVEL

And umm... I'm not sure! I remember coming in at 2 in the morning and they had the pretzels and the trail mix and stuff out. So I guess that probably counts as 24/7! Of course, no one was in there. But at least we had access to food if we needed it!

What amazing luck with the lines all being so short, that makes WDW even more fun

The beach club is my dream resort too, I love all the Little mermaid touches

Oh I know! It was such a great and relaxing day! I hate having to rush!
And I know same here! Little Mermaid was my childhood movie, and it's my second favorite now (Aladdin wins.. but just by a little. Because i love him ) I really want to stay at the Beach Club so I can explore it and see all of the details like that! Super cute!!

Yay for Kristen getting to sit the cute boy! He was cute, I wonder if his mom may read the Dis?
I cannot believe on your last ToT ride, it was not even full!
I'm finally getting an update today!

Hahaha it was so funny! LOL that would be hilarious if she read the Dis. If she does, at least she'll know she has a cute son!
And oh I know! The crowds were incredible! Rain does that to Disney.
I loved your update and I'm still craving one of those red white and blue slushies!

You guys are ToT Diehards... Im surprised the CMs didnt high five you as you went on again and again and again!

That would have been fantastic. I wonder if they recognized us as we lapped it again and again.

Sounds like a fun night! Kristen was very lucky to sit next to the cute guy as well! Sad that you are approaching the end of your trip as well, at least you had another one right after it though to keep your mind off being 2 sad.

Yes she was haha. And I know it is very sad! But yes, there are many more Disney stories to come! I never run out of them!

Wow! Just found this Frumptabulous Trip Report.

We are eating @ 50's prime time for the first time and now I'm looking forward to my daughter getting put in time our for texting at the table.

Great job on the TR and everybody should have your attitude of fun while @ WDW.

Frumptabulous = Brilliance.
You are going to really enjoy 50's! I'm excited for you and I hope your experience is as great as ours was!
And aww thank you so much! You're so sweet! Having fun is what we do best!

Tower of Terror is so awesome! I love how you all got to ride it so many times without a line. I always feel like Tower of Terror is a bit eerier when it's half empty.

Yes it is!! It's a great ride! And haha yeah it's definitely weird! I think it would be even creepier to go on it at night! I don't think I've ever done that! I should remember to.

You guys sure love the thrill rides!! Yay on riding them soo many time!

Love the cute guy story

Haha yes we do! We like all of the rides they're great!
And haha that was just a priceless moment.

I'm always reading. I just don't get to post often since silly college gets in the way.

Oh college. It's going to take away from my precious disboards time in a few short months. Wah

That guy's jacket is pretty cool

Wow I've never seen ToT's elevator that empty before! Yay for riding so many times! I love cute ride pictures. In one of the many ToT redneck photos I've taken there was one where a couple was kissing. I thought that was adorable.

I know! I kind of want it!
And yeah TOT was great that day! And aww that's a super cute picture! I loveeee posing for ride pictures! It's great!

Stopping by to say hello! I have a lot of catching up to do. The three of you are adorable, btw. And as an all-girls school alum, I know all about the frumping. We looked at anyone who wore make-up everyday with suspicion.

Hello! Thanks for stopping in and thank you so much! And HAHAHA I am so so glad you understand! Even some of the teachers will comment about the general frumpiness of the school My english teacher a few weeks ago was like "you know... sometimes people try and look good for school!" and everyone in my class was like... yeahh not really

You guys had a jam packed day!

There is nothing better then meeting a cute guy at Disney World. And get to ride next to him?! Bonus!!!!!

Yes we did! No surprise that we were tuckered out before EMH.
And oh yess! Kristen lucked out that day for sure!

OH MY GOSH, that guy's jacket is awesome. And I totally laughed at your character joke.

THANK YOU! See Kristen?! It was funny.

I love the sky in your Sorcerer's Hat pictures. It's so pretty.

Aww thank you! Sunsets are my favorite!

Go, Kristen! Sitting with the cute boy...High-five, girl! My friends are pretty sure I'm going to meet my future husband at WDW. I could definitely see that happening. I mean, one of the most important qualities I look for in a man is "willingness to go to WDW with me at least once a year, every year, for the rest of our lives." Hating WDW would be a dealbreaker.

Hahaha I have to completely agree with you! Any boy who is willing to sit through watching several Disney movies with you (and enjoying them!!) and listening to you rant about Disney World for as long as you like has great potential!! That's my outlook. I mean, considering I'm getting married in Disney World, he's going to have to cooperate. So he might as well like it!

Ugh...Creepers in the gym are never fun. Never. Especially when they awkwardly give a bunch of teenage girls workout tips. You guys were definitely smart for getting out of there ASAP.

Haha you're tellin me!

I can't believe you're already going to be starting your last full day! I never want this trip report to end! Can you just make up crazy WDW stories to tell me or something?

I know I don't either! It was such a wonderful trip! And haha yeah... Kristen has you covered.

Sounds like yall had an awesome day at MGM! (It'll always be MGM in my heart ) LOL!

Tower of Terror is my favoriteeeeeeeeee <3

Haha aww I miss the MGM days!
And yes it's FANTASTIC!

Okay. Here goes. Once upon a time...Kara, Jess and I went to Disney World. We were chased by birds everywhere we went. So we hid on It's a Small World. But then the birds followed us in there and attacked all the dolls and the pink front buns and the platypi (is that the plural?) that were throwing eggs at us. So we felt bad so we escaped and went on the Mad Tea Party and the birds were afraid of the screeching noise at the end. So then we went to the Polynesian where they couldn't find us because we hid behind all those crazy Tiki men. Then once they flew away we went to Ohana and ate our little hearts out. Then we went to Hollywood Studios where we rode Rock n' Roller Coaster and we all sat with really cute boys who we all ended up marrying. I got proposed to by Cinderella's Wishing Well, Jess got proposed to by the fountain near Crystal Palace, and (I'm not really sure where in WDW you want to be proposed at) but wherever it is, that's where Kara got engaged. Then we all had our weddings and honeymoons in Disney World and we all lived happily ever after. The end.

There. I just came up with that in like less than 3 minutes.

Beautiful.

I'm sorry everyone, she got too distracted by their deliciousness to remember what they were called. They were raspberry and peanut butter mousse.

I do. Again. I got a turkey mozzarella sandwich and I feel like Vick got a salad or a veggie wrap.

I fixed the foods ​

Great review! Got to love the cute boy count!!

 

[therussells08]

I am definitely subbing! I have only made it through the first eight pages, but I am loving it! It looks like such a great trip with friends!

I cracked up when I read about Vickie and Snow White's conversation! The book of faces!

I love that your goal is to be Jasmine or Belle. You could definitely do it! You're all lovely!

The bathrobe concert was great! What great singing voices!

I am going to hurry through my housework and cooking so I can read the rest later! Happy Easter!

 

[therussells08]

Okay the Easter ham is in the oven and I am all caught up! What a great trip report! I'm so sad you're already up to your last day!

I'm sorry to hear about poor Vickie getting sick! I had a sick day on our trip too (I will be posting about that soon) and it messed up the whole trip!

AHHH! I can't believe Splash Mountain was closed! We didn't ride that on our last trip because it was too cold, so it had better be open in June!

Yay for your successful American Idol auditions! That is so cool that the CM told you that you have a princess voice! Congrats for Vickie for getting through to the second round!

By the way, Kristen's hick boy was a doll!

 

[antnyh]

This is a great trip report as is your other one. Good job! Sounds like you had a great time so far. I remember my senior trip to Disney. We had a great time. I wish I had something like this board back then to capture my experience.

Chapter 24 - "You've Always Been a Princess to Me!"
January 18th, 2011

This is always such a sad day - the last full day. None of us wanted to go home and get back into our normal routines. So we really had to enjoy every last minute in Disney!

That being said... we were late risers this morning! (according to a Disney schedule) We woke up a little before 9 o'clock.

We got ready and then went down to the lounge to eat our last Club Level breakfast. I had a Sesame Bagel with Peanut Butter and Marmalade and a yogurt. YUM!

We went to catch our bus and it pulled up right when we got there!

What park were we going to on our last full day? Our favorite of course!! The Magic Kingdom!

We entered the park and Mother went to go get us Space Mountain Fastpasses.

Me, Vick, and Kristen "walked right down the middle of Main Street USA" and stopped to see "Dream Along With Mickey!"

Now, I've been to Disney a lot of times, but for some reason, I get really lazy when it comes to watching shows like this. The afternoon parades, the castle stage shows, and little random entertainment always end up getting skipped! So, this was the first time I actually sat through and watched this whole thing.

And honestly? I LOVED IT!! It was really really adorable. It's a beautiful show! I've had the music on my iPod for years and now I finally saw it! My favorite part is with the princesses, of course.

"Say Minnie, would you like to join 'em?"
"Me? Oh no, I couldn't. I'm not a princess!"
"Gosh Minnie, you've always been a princess to me!"
"Oh Mickey."

Mother came back and met up with us, and we went to ride Snow White.

Afterwords, we went into Sir Mickey's.

And then right after that we went into Castle Couture.

The cast member came up to us and sprinkled Pixie Dust in our hair! This really made our day! What girl doesn't love to be all sparkly? That is an adorable little touch to that store!

This store was right up our allies! It had so many cute princess items!

We liked this book and we're pointing to our look-a-likes!

And Kristen and my favorites in snow globe form!

How precious!

Afterwords, we met the Fairy Godmother again so Vickie could meet her.

Fantasyland is so cute! Mother loves the blue building structures. She thinks they're really adorable!

Mother took this fantastic and artsy shot of the castle! I love love love this picture!

And of course we had to get a picture at Cinderella's Wishing Well!

Then, Vickie and Mother went off to go meet up with a special visitor!

Kristen and I went to Frontierland. We had to go and cringe at the sore sight of the dry Splash Mountain.

Ouch.

Some more moping was to be done.

Wah.

We got Big Thunder Mountain Railroad fastpasses and then we caught the WDW Railroad to Toontown (because it was an absolute necessity that Kristen got to ride that railroad!!)

We got off the train and made our way over to Tomorrowland to meet up with Mother, Vick, and our special visitor - Vickie's Brother Tim!

Tim lives in Tampa and Vickie doesn't get to see him very often. So since Vick was down in Florida, he came up and visited us for the day! He was super nice and we all got along great!

Mother, Vickie, and Tim went on Transit Authority while they waited us. We took that cute little deserted passage way from Toontown to Tomorrowland so we were there in no time!

Continued in Next Post​

 

[Disneyfreak616]

Awww yay for Tim! Ya'al are gonna LOVE him!!!

 

[JessicaFaye508]

Great review! Got to love the cute boy count!!

It's like a scavenger hunt!

I am definitely subbing! I have only made it through the first eight pages, but I am loving it! It looks like such a great trip with friends!

Yay! I'm glad you're here!!

I cracked up when I read about Vickie and Snow White's conversation! The book of faces!

Oh my Gosh isn't that great!? We still quote it to this day!

I love that your goal is to be Jasmine or Belle. You could definitely do it! You're all lovely!

Aww thank you!! I hope so!

The bathrobe concert was great! What great singing voices!

Thank you! That was definitely a unique little experience that we loved!

I am going to hurry through my housework and cooking so I can read the rest later! Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to you too!!

Okay the Easter ham is in the oven and I am all caught up! What a great trip report! I'm so sad you're already up to your last day!

Yay!! I'm glad you got to finish!! I finished up yours today when I got home! I am sad we're on the last day too

I'm sorry to hear about poor Vickie getting sick! I had a sick day on our trip too (I will be posting about that soon) and it messed up the whole trip!

Aww that's terrible! I know sickness in Disney is the WORST! I hope you recovered as fast as Vickie did!

AHHH! I can't believe Splash Mountain was closed! We didn't ride that on our last trip because it was too cold, so it had better be open in June!

I'm sure it will be! They were installing the lap bars while we were there. But now that those are all fixed up and nice... I'm sure it'll be open! Plus it's hot in June! So a water ride is going to be popular!

Yay for your successful American Idol auditions! That is so cool that the CM told you that you have a princess voice! Congrats for Vickie for getting through to the second round!

Thanks! We had a lot of fun!!

By the way, Kristen's hick boy was a doll!

Haha wasn't he? He looked even better in person! The RnR pictures don't do a justice.

This is a great trip report as is your other one. Good job! Sounds like you had a great time so far. I remember my senior trip to Disney. We had a great time. I wish I had something like this board back then to capture my experience.

Thank you so much! Aww I know I am so thankful I have this so I will be able to remember it! I took a trip with my friend freshman year and a trip with my cousins sophomore year and I'm quite sad that I never documented them! So, Trip Reports are going to be a habit from now on!

[mermaid764]

Aww that last day at Disney is always bittersweet, but it sounds like was off to a great start!

I love the pics in the gift shops, and how nice that Vicki got to see her brother

 

[Jazzabelle508]

That's cool that you all were able to spend time with Vickie's brother. I know I would never be able to get my brother to come to disney unless the whole family made him go (I don't know how he didn't catch the disney bug when everyone else in my family did ) oh well. Vickie must have been super excited to see him!

 

[taylor91]

yey another update The last full day always makes me sad, but it looks like you have had an amazing time and made the most of it. I love the cute boy count and the amazing photos of your trip. Looking forward to see what you did for the rest of the day

 

[Slatas]

Another great update! The pics are amazing... So sad this TR is coming to an end... Glad you have another TR going for us to keep following along. Will Kristen be doing a PTR and TR too? Hopefully she is as talented at writing as you.

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

That is such an awesome picture! I love how you caught them all leaping at the same time!


The last full day of a Disney trip is always bittersweet, but it just means it's time to start planning a new one!

 

[TanzUnited99]

I was sad reading about your last day at Disney but yay on having more future trips planned!

I love the pics and commentary of the 'Dream Along with Mickey' show! Am soo looking forward to seeing it on our trip.

Yay on getting the pixie dust in your hair!

The artsy shot of the castle your mum took is magical!

I would have been the same if Splash Mountain had been closed - it sure looks like a fun ride!

 

[PirateKate]

Great pictures- love the Castle shot and the Dream Along with Mickey ones. The last day is sad, but I also think the last park day is a lot of fun, squeezing in everything one last time. It looks like you all had fun time so far.

 

[Cat0727]

Aw last days are so sad but hurray for a Disney Christmas trip

You got great pictures of Dream Along With Mickey. I've never stopped to watch it, I've only heard the music as I'd walk around the park. How sweet Vicki got to see her brother. They must have been excited to see each other.

 

[therussells08]

The last full day at Disney is always so bittersweet! You have fun of course, but it's always in the back of your mind that you have to leave soon! I hate that feeling!

Wow! Your Dream Along With Mickey pictures are gorgeous! They look like postcards! I love how blue the sky is in the background! What a perfect day for Disney!

Awww, that is so cool that you got pixie dust in your hair! I remember when I was a little girl someone bought me some toy pixie dust and I used to keep it in the bathroom cabinet and only used it for special occasions because I was convinced it was magic!

That is so cool that you guys got to meet up with Vickie's brother! What a nice surprise!

 

[Disneyfreak616]

Will Kristen be doing a PTR and TR too? Hopefully she is as talented at writing as you.

I am DEFINITELY going to do a TR for both of my trips this summer, but I don't think I am going to do a PTR. It is going to get VERYY busy for me very soon, because of exams, prom, a wedding, graduations, etc. So I don't think I will have time to do a PTR, let alone two! I will entertain you all with TWO frumptabulous TR's though.

When are your trips going to be? I can't wait to read you TR's I am loving this current TR that Jess is writing. You both are so entertaining! Oh and have fun at prom! I loved going to my prom last year and I can't believe that prom season is here already! If you two get a chance can you please post some prom dress pictures? I also loved your use of the word "Frumptabulous".

 

[Queenofallthings]

We stopped and watched that show for the first time start to finish last September and I agree with you...we loved it!

So great that Vickie's brother made it to see all of you...she must have been thrilled!!
