"There’s NO Sleeping in Disney!” SURPRISE - The Frumps Are Back Again! UPDATE 1/13

[JessicaFaye508]

Wow, what a nice surprise this morning - 2 updates to read with my coffee

Your pictures from the Animation building were wonderful. I loved the pic with Jasmine - so cute!!! I didn't know about the meet & greet so thanks for the info. I'm going to put that on my list of things to do for the next trip.

There is some beautiful artwork that you took pictures of. I would love to own some of them. You commented on the Thomas Kinkaid picture. His Disney paintings are SO incredible!! You have to check out his website. It shows all the different ones you can get along with descriptions of what is in the pictures. He incorporates characters from other films in the pictures. For example I believe Bambi is hidden in the Beauty and the Beast one. I plan on getting a print of B&B for Christmas - just have to let hubby know.

Oh, and I watched your you tube video. You girls are very talented and your teacher was hysterical

What can I say? This trip report is full of surprises I hope they helped brighten up your morning!
Thank you! Yes, it's a very good thing to take note of! It's literally like a character explosion! I love it.
So would I. I just looked at his website... WOW! I love the Lion King one. He seriously is amazing! I know exactly what to ask for as a wedding gift And that's a cute little fun fact about him including other characters within the artwork! I will have to look for those when I see them up close next time!
And hahaha what a beautiful Christmas present. I'm sure he'll be happy to find out about it
Aww thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

I love your pictures. There were som nice art work in that gift shop

I love the musical Wicked as well. I have seen it many times. I can never see Elphaba as the wicked witch after seeing the musical and reading the book.

Thank you! I agree... SO pretty!
I feel the exact same way. That musical is pure brilliance. I can't get over how well done it is!

Oh pizza sounds so good right now for breakfast! Well any Disney food for that matter

The great movie ride is one of our favorites, and I totally agree with you about Wicked! It completely changes your whole view on The Wizard of OZ!
Kadence's dance class did a routine to the song "Popular" from Wicked, and it was hilarious!

Hahaha I completely agree. Disney food or college food.... I think you know what I would pick
It definitely does! And oh my gosh that sounds adorable!! I bet it was precious

I want every single piece of art work in that store. They are all SO gorgeous, but that Peter Pan is my favorite!

Woo hoo for Pizza Planet! Such a cute place to eat!

ME TOO! I could look at those paintings all day long.
And I agree! YAY FOR PIZZA PLANET!

I love the animation building! My sister and I just used to go there to draw but it had been a few years so when we went this past summer we were so excited to see all these characters! And the lines weren't even too crazy! It was definitely a great experience.

I always get the gangster too! I feel like I’m missing out on something! but i sat in the front row with the gangster once and he tried to steal my dad's watch! It was hilarious!

And i agree...wicked is life changing! Seriously sooo good!

Can't wait to read more!

That building is just a beautiful place. I love the drawing classes too! We unfortunately didn't have time for that this trip. It was like the only thing we missed! The line was always just too long.
Hahaha I know, that's how I feel! And oh my gosh that's hilarious! I've always in like the 4th or 5th row! I want to be in the front so bad!
And yes! Yay for Wicked

I seriously need to remember about Characterpalooza next time. Do you think that happens every day? My DD would absolutely love it! Well, maybe not the villains, but that would be awesome to be able to see so many of them.

Love all of your photos from the day. Those paintings are amazing. I would totally love to have one of Thomas Kinkade paintings in my house!

Um, totally going to have to check out Forever 21 in my mall. Lucky that I can wear stuff like that for work and get away with it! That's how I justified all my HP/Gryffyndor gear and all my Disney tees. I just tell myself that I can wear it to work.

Yes you do!! Oh my gosh your little girl would LOVE it! And yes, I'm almost positive that it's a daily thing. And trust me, there are so many characters that you can completely skip over the villains and still be busy the entire time!
Thank you! I would too! I am going to have to ask for one as a wedding present some day.
Yes you will! What job can you wear those clothes to!? That sounds like my kind of workplace

i love reading your trip reports, they are just so much fun!

i had to post because of the ganster scene.

i went in september for 3 days (talk about way to short of a trip)
and as we went on it my husband decided to tell me i was lying about there being a cowboy scene because hes been on the ride like 5 times in 3 yrs and never scene it.

i admitted id been on it way more times than that since opening and havent scene it but i knew it existed!

so anyways, we go through the ride, and we get to the mob scene, and i notice the light is still green and we arent stopping to hang around...

lo and behold...we got the cowboy scene!
i liked it, because i mean ive never sceen it...
...but ill be honest, im more a fan of the ganster scene (even though im pretty sure i can recite the spiel in my head)


and i totally agree about Wicked the musical....

Thank you!
Wow that's really interesting to hear that you like the gangster one better! Yeah, I could imagine why someone would question the actual existence of the cowboy WHERE is he!? At least you got to experience it! I hope I get to someday!
And haha I'm glad you agree Such a good show.

All those painting were soooo pretty! I like how both classic and modern they are. It also helps that they are paintings of a whole bunch of variety of disney things.

Pizza Planet!!!!! Oh how I love that place! I can't possibly go to Disney and not visit at least the pizza planet arcade! I do enjoy the pizza but i really do go for the arcade. I love reminicising about the movie while in there! I do enjoy disney pizza in general though. I'm guessing Nat LOVED pizza planet!

Yay for great movie ride! I really enjoy the ride and trying to point out which movie is which. Last time i went on it we ended up on the front row which is super exciting because we pretty much NEVER end up in front.

This is going to sound really stupid but i never knew that they had different rooms to stop in depending on the vehicle. I did notice that sometimes the room was a cowboy theme and other times it was a gangster theme but i never put 2 and 2 together.

I agree 100%!
I love Pizza Planet. Nat LOVED it! It really is cute. My Dad and my brother always love going in that arcade. It's just bundles of fun.
It's such a good ride. Aww front row?! Lucky!! I have NEVER been in the front... or even close to the front! I'm always in the back! I don't know why.
Oh do they stop in different rooms? I thought a cowboy came out instead of a gangster. I don't know... I've never seen it so who knows, really

Yikes!! I did not know about Characterpalooza!! It is a must for us this trip!!! My kids will love it!!

I know how much you love Jasmine and I wanted to share with you... My daughter's school has a fall festival every year (its like we used to have as a halloween carnival) but the theme is Disney this year. My daughter got queen of her class and she and her king are going to be Aladdin and Jasmine!! Its going to be great!!

Oh and I just noticed my ticker says 1 month until our trip!

You learn new things every day! Haha I'm glad I could introduce it to you! I hope your kids like it! I bet they will!
Oh my GOSH that is absolutely adorable!! Thank you so much for sharing that with me They are going to be so precious! What a great fall festival theme and costume choices.
WOOHOO you are so close!! I have 2 months from TOMORROW! I'm freakin' out.

I love how you told us all you "went to the bathroom" This is a very detailed TR.

HAHAHAHA I literally just write down whatever I have in my trip journal, and I apparently wrote that down Hey, it's important.

I'm in the same boat!

I also didn't know about Characterpalooza- must remember that!

What did Kristen have to eat at Pizza Planet?!

LOVE the Great Movie Ride- did the Wicked Witch used to be a real person- I vaguely remember that from my past...

Aww congratulations!
Yes - very important note to take!
Hmm... I believe that Kristen had a Pepperoni Pizza and a Rice Krispie! I forgot to take a picture! But I'm sure she'll have one in her trip report (once she starts it... lol)
I love it too! And honestly, I have no idea! I have always remembered her being audio animatronic. I don't really know!

AHH! I have to get to Forever 21 now!! Good to know!

I've never actually seen Jasmine at Palooza! That's awesome. You've got some great pics of all the artwork & Winnie the Pooh signs, they're my favorite!!

ELPHABA!! Ahh!! I will forever call her that as well! I saw Wicked over the summer and it was just INCREDIBLE! More exciting is that in January, Beauty & the Beast is coming through next! I'm hoping for Little Mermaid after that!

Haha let me know which one(s) you get!
I know, I was surprised to see her there! But it was great. And thank you!
Isn't it!? I've seen it 3 times now and it just never gets old. I love it so much. OH MY GOSH that is so lucky that Beauty and the Beast is coming through! I haven't seen a professional stage show of that in like 10 years!! And AHHH Little Mermaid is my #1 want to see musical right now. But I have no idea when it's going to come around here locally. I am always hoping it'll be on the next year's schedule!!​

Thomas Kinkade is amazing. The first time I saw that Peter Pan painting, I was instantly hooked to his work. His prints are awesome because they are much cheaper than a real painting I have Peter Pan and Beauty and the Beast that I got as gifts (best gifts ever!) Its fun trying to find the hidden Disney characters. I hope to have a real painting one day. All the Disney art is incredible.

Disney pizza is the best, and the Mickey rice cripie treat makes ten times better The best "real" pizza is from Via Napoli. Oh man, I have dreams about it Definetly the best pizza I have ever had.

That is such a good tip to remember! I should look into getting a print... they're just SO pretty! That's awesome that you have those two! Such beautiful pieces. I want to ask for a real painting as a wedding present someday!
It really is. YUM! And yes, I love that they serve Mickey Rice Krispies there. And ohhh yes, I LOVE Via Napoli Pizza! I love it, I love it, I LOVE it. I wish I could have some right now!​

​

I still can't believe I didn't know about characterpalooza! I hope it's still going on the next time we go, whenever that may be.

I work as a nurse at a children's hospital. I've totally gotten the most compliments or comments on my gryffyndor tee shirt. But the really little kids like the Disney ones. I feel like I can get away with all of these cute little shirts at work!

[PrincessMaggie618]

Hahah I re-watched your Hakunta Matata video.. classic
MEEKO!!!!!! AHHHHHHH <3 <3 <3
Jafar is so icky
Those offices look so cool!!!
I still haven't seen Winnie the Pooh or Cars 2. What is wrong with me?
Jess, you are Jasmine.

 

[okw19]

PIZZA PLANET!!! I won an alien out of a claw machine there once. I love that place even if the food isn't stellar. I like Disney pizza though.
I ordered my F21 stuff today! Aladdin and Beauty & the Beast for me, Cinderella for my sister. I also got some stretchy bracelets that have a metal charm and Mickey head from the Disney store for us. They're kind of frumpy jewelry, but I love them. Felt like I should share haha. http://www.disneystore.com/jewelry-mickey-mouse-heart-bracelet/mp/1270727/1000295/ http://www.disneystore.com/jewelry-have-faith-mickey-mouse-bracelet/mp/1270739/1000295/

 

[IheartDDuck]

I could not agree more that Wicked is a life changing musical for sure.

"Toss toss".

 

[POLY1985]

Jess - Check out disneystore.com. They have the most beautiful Jasmine shirt. It is the Jasmine from the Disney Designer collection. I thought of you when I saw it.

Did you really!? That's awesome. I like the food. I mean, it's basic, but I love it. Disney pizza is just great.
Ahhh how exciting!! Very good choices The only shirt I wasn't overly impressed with was the snow white one. It was too boring. They're all so beautiful though.
Ooooh those bracelets are cute! I think I used to have something similar to those a long time ago. I don't know if it was disney or not, though. But VERY cute Ahhh all of these shopping suggestions I love it.

Best line of the show.

Oh WOW that's so pretty!! Oh my gosh you are finding some AMAZING stuff this week, aren't you? Very nice! ​

Another fun post! Looks like you had a good time at HS.

When you go to the Great Movie Ride, all you have to do is ask the CM for the cowboy scenes. You may have to wait a ride (which we did , but it didn't take that long), and you will be assured to see the cowboy set. We learned about this from the disboards before we went this past January, and they are more than happy to make your wish come true!

I've yet to try Pizza at WDW. Perhaps next time.

Looking forward to reading your next post.

 

[Home@WDW]

Elphaba! I read Wicked way back in high school because of my obsession with musicals at the time. Actually got to see Wicked when it toured through Tampa, I was so excited. That book/musical is AMAZING and if it ever comes back down to my part of the world, or if fingerscrossed I ever get to Broadway, I'll definitely see it again.

And it's weird, but the last time my family went to Pizza Planet they weren't serving salads with the pizzas anymore. Maybe that was for a short time or something made the salads mysteriously disappear. I hope that they are back and are here to stay!

Thank you! We had an amazing time! And there are more fun adventures to come!
Oh my gosh really!? I always was scared of doing that because I didn't know if they would be running every day. But next time I think I'm just gonna ask. Why not? Thanks for the tip!
Wow really!? It gets mixed reviews... but I am in love with it. So, it really depends on the person I guess.
Thank you!

Yesss! Did you? I've never read the book but I always have meant to! Aww that's great you got to see it, I hope you will get to see it again someday! It came through my town twice when I was in high school (one freshman year and one senior year) and then my family planned a trip to NYC so I made sure to see it thee! It's such a spectacular show!
Oh wow really!? I don't remember being there when they didn't have salads! Hopefully they'll keep them for a long time! I heard they now have a cupcake on the dessert menu. Interesting!​

I love that gift shop. It's absolutely amazing. And I LOVE my calendar!!

Thomas Kinkade. GENIUS.

I never noticed that Cinderella one! It's so pretty!

OMG they are at 50's!!! That's adorable!

MMMM Disney pizza. I'm starving. I should probably eat something before I go to work!

BTW I love that pic of the Hat! It's really bright and pretty. <3

I love that horse. I want it.

TARZUN!! So funny. Just ONCE I would like the cowboy though. Seriously.

Hahaha it's Elphaba!

YAY thank you for my pre-work update!

Jess! Before I say anything about the trip report, I was watching one of your videos on youtube (I'm subscribed!) and I saw you were saying "I have this song on my iPod." That just made me laugh because I said that at least 20 times a day in August.

I have been following along with the TR but I never had the time to comment, so sorry about that! I really am enjoying it though. The Frump TR's make me really want to go to Disney with my best friends.

I agree! And I love your calendar too! I want it!! He really is a genius!
Every piece of artwork in there is amazing. Love everything.
Yes, I hope you had a very substantial dinner. I had pizza and pasta for dinner tonight. It actually wasn't too bad! But the REAL winner was.... wait for it....

....
....
...

RED VELVET ICE CREAM!

Yes, cafeteria. You just gained some MAJOR respect points from me. FINALLY. Something FANTASTIC!
Thank you! I like it too. I've been going through all of the photos with iPhoto now because you got me addicted to it. They look very nice, though, so it's totally worth it.
I know. Next time let's just ask for the cowboy.
YAY ELPHABA!
And yayyyy I'm glad I provided you with some entertainment

Try to sit in the front half of the train. If they do the split, the front cars get the cowboy scene.

THAT'S why I always get the dang gangster!!! Oh my gosh hahaha. I ALWAYS get seated in the same spot. In the 2nd half of the train in the back 3 rows. My whole entire life. I don't know how that could possibly happen but it does

Yayyy! And oh my gosh hahaha isn't it so true?! I say that CONSTANTLY when I'm in Disney. I'm so glad you appreciate it.
That's totally fine! I'm glad you're here and enjoying! Hahaha the TR's make me want to go to Disney with my friends too... Again! They just have that affect on people.
Thanks for reading! ​
