The Princess is Going Back to Her Kingdom...TWICE!

[jenny105]

We are never ever ever getting back together! I secretly love Taylor Swift. But when I'm home alone I rock out to the Wanted...

I can't wait to see Wreck-It Ralph!!!

Congrats on your job! I hope you love it and I hope you get to keep your Disney job too. Fingers and toes crossed!

I love those pictures of Landon. Too funny!

 

[Bridora]

Davis is supposed to be stopping by Target today to pick up Red! For Allison, of course!

Your new job sounds exciting! I hope you enjoy it and are able to keep your Disney job!

I realized I kind of lied to you about that 5k in the rain being my first one when I updated my trip report yesterday. How I forgot that the rainy one was actually my 2nd I'll never know! But it was more official so I'm going with that as my excuse. I won't spoil my update with any more detail here, though, in case you haven't read it yet.

Love those mustache pictures of Landon! I think the last one is my favorite!

 

[marDgreen88]

I'm just so excited for you girl! It sounds like such a great opportunity!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Wreck-it Ralph t-shirts!

BAHAHAHA the mustache pictures. Those are HILARIOUS!

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

Taylor Swift is on Ellen today!

HAHAHAHAHA those mustache pictures are GREAT! He totally looks like an angry old man who hates kids in his "mad face" pictures.

How many more days until you start your training?! That's going to be such an awesome experience!

PS; I totally want to book you & Garret's trip for next year!

AHHH WRECK IT RALPH IS OUT THIS WEEKEND!!

Thank you so much! I am really excited to start this job and I really want to keep my Disney benefits. SO BADLY. Everyone makes fun of me because they are like "Most people think good health and dental plans are good benefits, but for Kimmy it's free theme park access." PRIORITIES PEOPLE.

I always forget that Target gets extra Taylor Swift songs. Grr! I hope the person you bought it for () loves it.

I'm going to go read your TR now!! P.S. You should go to Runlikeaprincess dot com and enter the sweepstakes. Only if you take me though. OH MAN THE STUFF WE WOULD GET. Enter everyday!! lol I would die winning that.

I'm just so excited for you girl! It sounds like such a great opportunity!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Wreck-it Ralph t-shirts!

BAHAHAHA the mustache pictures. Those are HILARIOUS!

Thank you so much!! The Wreck It Ralph shirts are perfect. I wear it ALL THE TIME.

Taylor Swift is on Ellen today!

I saw her on Ellen, that was hilarious! Oh Taylor...

I have never understood the mustache craze really, but come on! SO FUNNY on a little boy. It kills me. Too great.

I start my training on Monday!! AHHH it's sneaking up so fast! I'm so anxious but excited!!

You can definitely book our trip! I hope/think. Can you book for CM's? Because I know we have to call special lines to buy tickets and stuff, I'm not quite sure if booking is the same. I know to book a cruise, I have to sign in from the Disney CM site to the cruise site so it ensures I'm a CM. We'll figure it out if you can though!

[princess_momma]

Hello guys!! Sorry this hasn't been too Disney related! I had my first week of work this week...ahhh!! I love it.

It's been CRAZY busy and very intense! There's so much to learn. But I really love it. I also met another Disney mega fan who works there. She was even married in Italy in Epcot and I HAVE to show you guys her ring, it's perfect!!

A real update soon!

 

[marDgreen88]

Glad to hear it's going well, girl.

 

[jenny105]

Glad it's going well and you like it!

 

[princess_momma]

Hello my dear Dis friends!

First...the sad news...I can't go on the Disney cruise in February. For starters, I couldn't even get it off and secondly, Garret's dad does insurance stuff on the east coast and with Sandy's damage, he won't be able to be off then either. So wahh. BUT I WILL GET THERE NEXT YEAR!! So stay tuned!

Some good news is that I get 2 raises within the next year. Not just any raises, but $3.25/hr more in 6 months, then another $3.25/hr more in another 6 months after that! So yay Disney money!

Now for pictures! Do you remember how I told you guys that my coworker has the most awesome Disney wedding ring? (Well I don't know if I told you that but I did mention she got married in Italy in Epcot!) Well...here it is! She has a little card that she carries around to demonstrate and it's an aerial view of the hub! When you put the big diamond on the castle steps, there's diamonds all around the band that point to all the paths. It's kinda hard to see but you'll get the idea! SO AWESOME!!

In other news, Ralph game jumped again.

Apparently he didn't feel like using his own picture. HA.

And finally, here's my sweet boy celebrating his 4th birthday!

Stay tuned for a Tower of Terror love story!!

 

[princess_momma]

Author's Note: Everything in the following story is entirely true accounts of the magic between the Tower of Terror and Kimmy. It has been written in a whimsical fashion for all of posterity to know the true story of a mutual love that has only grown stronger though the years.

********************************************************

Once upon a time, a beautiful princess named Kimmy embarked to the distant land of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Once there, she dared ride a faulty elevator in the Hollywood Tower Hotel…and found herself a permanent resident of the Twilight Zone!! In spirit anyway…

From the very first day, that Tower gave her butterflies in her tummy. She fell harder and faster than she ever imagined she would, and couldn’t have stopped such intense feelings if she had tried!

Sadly, eventually Princess Kimmy had to leave the Hollywood Studios and her time in the Hollywood Tower Hotel ended all too quickly. For a year she pined and pined. With regret, she was sorrowed that she hadn’t even taken home a piece of the hotel with her. She vowed to return and prove it wasn’t just a onetime thing…that even after all that time apart, her beloved could still make her heart skip a beat.

And so after 10 moons passed in the night sky, Princess Kimmy finally returned, determined to prove her love to that iconic Hollywood Tower Hotel. She sent one of her servants to do her bidding for the magical passes that would ensure her princess status got her quickly through the TSM line. While he was away, she of course reunited with her true love, her beloved Hollywood Tower Hotel. She brought along her fellow princess to prove that it was real.

Everyone was so thrilled about the reuniting of Princess Kimmy and the Tower of Terror, that they threw their arms up in joy! It was a beautiful moment of celebration!

Naturally, Princess Kimmy needed a token of their love. Purchasing a bathrobe, she cloaked herself in its terrycloth goodness and awaited her servant’s return.

Upon returning with her princess passes, Princess Kimmy knighted Sir Dustin and rewarded him for his troubles with a ride in the world’s greatest elevator.

The princess believed all was well in the world again. Already two rides with her beloved and the kingdom had been allowing visitors in for only 20 minutes! But…what was this? Princess Kimmy’s beloved couldn’t let her walk away just yet…he had glitched just for her and for that, she was permitted yet another ride! She didn’t even need to tire herself walking through the lobby! The bellhop summoned her and her subjects through a different (better working but less fun elevator) and took her on another ride! COULD THIS DAY BE ANYMORE PERFECT?

With a hop in her step, Princess Kimmy wandered down Sunset Blvd with her friends and heir and decided to commemorate the glorious morning with a photograph.

While posing for the paparazzi, the princess was stopped by a police officer! What on earth could this nonsense be about a ticket?! Illegal stroller parking?! DOES HE KNOW WHO SHE IS?!

Turning the ticket over, Princess Kimmy saw it was all a joke. Her ToT had sent a messenger dressed as an officer to deliver her a message declaring his true love for her. The back of the “ticket” had the message:

“In an age of fads, copy cats, and rapidly changing trends, you have chosen to stand out from the rest and be an individual. We applaud your courage and self expression. Thanks for being a part of our show today. Don’t ever change. The world needs more people with your spirit.”

The princess swooned! That was the sweetest thing she ever heard. She spent the rest of the day frolicking through the Hollywood Studios and trying to catch glimpses of her ToT. A few times, she couldn’t help herself and had to return back. Upon nightfall, she decided to head back for a farewell. She simply couldn’t leave without a goodbye!

And could you believe her luck? There was no line! It’s like everyone knew she needed time with her beloved and she had a marathon of 6 times in a row! She even got to use the secret entrance elevator again and again! While playing on the most magical elevator ever, she met 2 other princesses and they coordinated poses and laughed and just had the most lovely time! That was the night that she was crowned Princess Kimmy of the Hollywood Tower Hotel. She even got to declare the royal spiel of safety to others wishing to ride that enchanted elevator. She smiled knowing she would never forget that day of 11 total rides.

However, they had to part ways again. Back in her local kingdom, the leaves changed to yellow and drifted away from the trees. The snows came and made it so that the kingdom was as cold as the princess’s heart so far away from where she wanted to be. But eventually the snow melted. It was time for Princess Kimmy to once again return to the kingdom that truly felt like home.

When she returned this time, she returned by herself. She awaited for her chariot and to her surprise, the motorcoach was empty. Had ToT been expecting her? The anticipation built as she was privately escorted to the kingdom of Hollywood Studios. About to step off the motorcoach and onto that blessed land, the coachman stopped her and offered her a ring, stating that it matched her tiara. Gasping, Princess Kimmy knew in her heart, that ToT had missed her too and was eagerly awaiting her return.

Skipping down through the lobby and library, the princess simply couldn’t withhold her enthusiasm. She was positively radiating with joy! Her time in the elevator proved again to create summersaults in her tummy! It was then that she knew, that no matter how much time passes, ToT will always be waiting to make her heart flutter.

One ride was sufficient for that first day. She knew that she would be back again the next day if not sooner. But when Princess Kimmy tried to depart the elevator, she was stopped and pulled aside. Once again, her heart sang! Even the bellhops had recognized that the Princess of ToT had returned!

She was led down the now-familiar secret entrance and introduced to a bellhop named Thor who permitted her instant access for another ride. Not only that, but he handed her one of those magical passes that ensure princess access to rides. But this one was different…it was valid for access to nearly every ride in thepark and had an extended expiration date!

Skipping merrily out of the park, Princess Kimmy knew she’d be back soon.

Returning with her dear friends, Queen Kristen and King Chris, she looked for the bellhop called Thor! To her delight, he was working again!

The queen and the princess rode together and it was clear to everyone in the elevator that there was royalty in the midst. You can see the young gentlemen on either side of us, just staring in wonder of our majesty.

Once more, after the ride, the Princess of ToT was gifted with magical passes…ones that were even valid on TSM and Star Tours. It was undeniably obvious that the ToT truly loved the princess back.

Many times throughout that trip, the princess would visit her beloved and was always welcomed into the secret entrance for re-rides. Once it got near to goodbye again, the Tower decided to surprise the princess with something else…something she had never done before!

The bellhop Thor escorted her back to the secret passage. But instead of going up the dull elevator, he led her to…the guards headquarters! From here, the princess had a bird’s eye view of all the grounds of that haunting Hollywood Hotel. With great joy, she watched the delight on the faces of all the people who were currently enjoying her ride. After one more ride, the two bid farewell once more.

THIS... is the best thing to ever be posted on the Dis or anywhere else really. Omg, I love it.

Aww. Your son is so precious!!

That ticket from the police officer is AWESOME! I have never seen or heard of that happening before. That is so, so cool. Disney is the best.

It's undeniable that the Tower loves you back, I mean how many freaking free fastpasses can one person get? Seriously.

I have to read this whole PTR when I get some time but first I have to say, omg. Your son is so cute. I love his Wreck It Ralph shirt and those cupcakes look delicious! Happy Birthday Landon! That Disney ring is really cool too!!!

Sorry you can't go on the cruise, but that's great about your raises. I'm sure much more Disney magic awaits you. The ToT misses you!!!

 

[marDgreen88]

Aww, I'm sorry the cruise isn't gonna work out! I'm so glad that you'll still be able to do Disney though.

That ring... so cool.

OHHHHH MY LORD. Hahah girl, you are hilarious. That was brilliant. Thank you, princess of the Tower of Terror.

 

[klacey1]

That stinks about the cruise but at least you'll definitely be getting back to WDW next year, no matter what!!

Omggg you are too funny! I seriously cannot believe all the special perks you were gifted from ToT. Clearly it does love you back just as much! Are going to try to break your # of times riding ToT in one day on your next trip??

 

[jenny105]

I cannot believe how many times you've been on ToT. It's true love! I need to go to Disney with you so we can ride ToT over and over again. I say we devote an entire day just to that ride.

Love that ring!

 

[Bridora]

Definitely one the greatest love stories of all time! Loved it!


That's great news about your raises at work! I'm sorry the cruise isn't going to work out in February, but just think of all that Disney money you'll be making!


Your co-worker's ring is so cool! Thanks for posting the pictures!

 

[tinkgurl]

Hey! It has been awhile! Glad I found this!

I am glad you enjoyed my love story!

The ticket remains to be one of my all time favorite things. I only posted the thank you that was on there, but the entire front was all sorts of reasons the officer could check off for why you were getting the ticket.

I'm so happy ToT loves me so much back. It would be painful if it was only one way.

Landon can't wait to go back to Disney either. I'm really hoping to still make a cruise work next year maybe just not in February. Because that really just needs to happen.

Aww, I'm sorry the cruise isn't gonna work out! I'm so glad that you'll still be able to do Disney though.

That ring... so cool.

OHHHHH MY LORD. Hahah girl, you are hilarious. That was brilliant. Thank you, princess of the Tower of Terror.

I will do something Disney related next year no matter what. Hopefully both still, but just definitely can't do anything in February. Sad.

You are welcome.

Omggg you are too funny! I seriously cannot believe all the special perks you were gifted from ToT. Clearly it does love you back just as much! Are going to try to break your # of times riding ToT in one day on your next trip??

I will find a way to make it home again, don't worry!! Can't wait to be back in my happy place!!

My goal in life would be to break all previous Tower of Terror # of rides in a day records every single trip. Keep the love alive!

I cannot believe how many times you've been on ToT. It's true love! I need to go to Disney with you so we can ride ToT over and over again. I say we devote an entire day just to that ride.

Love that ring!

That would be a dream come true to devote an entire day to the ride. I'm sure I could arrange it. That must happen on our Poly-stayin', lapu lapu drinkin' trip.

Definitely one the greatest love stories of all time! Loved it!

I am SO excited for all the Disney money I'll be making! That is pretty much the only reason I need a job...to get there!

I am in love with that ring!

Hey! It has been awhile! Glad I found this!

I'm so glad you are here!! I have missed you round these parts!
