Where did you find the Chime tone to the Monorail? Sounds like a fun tone.
Ahh two updates in a row!!
Thank you, Thank you. - takes bow -
Your pictures are gorgeous. Again. Seriously they're so bright and amazing!!
Aww thank you! (thank you iPhoto... LOL)
YAY for swimming. That pic of me that I didn't like is actually growing on me. Haha I look summery. I wish it was summer.
You really do! I miss summer too. </3 How many more months...?
You guys really DO look related! I swear we all secretly are.
Yeah we are. You don't find friendships like ours on a normal basis.
THE MONORAIL!!!!!
BAHAHAHA that girl is hilarious. I swear she reads my mind. My heart aches that this boy doesn't exist too. WHERE ARE YOU, OH MONORAIL OBSESSED MAN??!?
She kills me. And I KNOW!! WHERE COULD HE BE?!
Monorail Peach. Can we just talk about how that's a dream come true for me? Because it is.
LOL How ironic. What a peach.
AHHH monorail photos. I miss it I miss it I MISS IT.
Me TOO!
HA. Sandy.
LOL references.
HAHAHAHA ahh I miss you princess. And your foodieness like mine. And the fact that the purpose of Disney trips is to eat. SO TRUE.
I know I know. I never realized how important the food was until this year. Now I'm quite addicted.
That bread though...it's amazing. There are no words. Well actually yes there are.
I'm like... please refer to the majority of my updateI could have gone on and on... and on... and on...
WE SHOULD GO TO ROADHOUSE WHEN YOU'RE HOME!!! Seriously though.
......YES I WANT THE BREAD!!!
UMM I like you how you bolded and capitalized "The Bread." You crack me up.
whaaaat? it was necessary.
BAHAHAH The Butter.
yum.
I'm like...that little girl is me in another life.
Me too.
Oh no. Never enough about the bread!
I'm sorry. I probably should have continued.
MMM food. It's all so delicious. I'm hungry. -looks in pantry- Nope. No Disney food here. Losing weight is on the horzion!
LOL yeah.... gaining weight in on the horizon for me. 41 days until i explode!!!
Kona could hire you to advertise!!
They should. "Come to Kona... for THE BREAD.
Where did you find the Chime tone to the Monorail? Sounds like a fun tone.
okay so work got in my way, but I'm back and I'm all caught up!! Love the updates and still loving your videos! Those food photos look amazing, I'm making a huge list to give my mum when we go back next year, I may definitely have to try that bread though, I'm a little obsessed with good bread!! Mmm you've made me so hungry just thinking about it!!
PS your phone cover is amazing. Love it! Wish I had an iphone now!![]()
Oh my gosh Jess, I just took two pages of notes for the comments I want to make. Please forgive me in advance.
Hahaha don't even worry! I love it! That's totally something I would do.I'm so glad you're back!!
Okay here we go..alllll the way back to check in! I love that you two softened up the CM. How could she not love you? YAY for getting moved close to Kristen!
WOOHOO! Memories... lol. Yeah I'm glad she liked us and everything worked out! That was great!!
I am just like Nat- I inhale all my food. I've always been that way. My best friend (oddly enough, her name is Jessy) gets onto me about it constantly, but I can't help myself!
LOL that's so funny! I know it's so hard not to eat fast! I do it too... but not as bad as Nat. And haha that's funny about your friend being named JessyWhat a coincidence!!
Okay, I am a super huge nerd but I bawled my eyes out when I saw Mission: Surprise the Frump. That was so sweet! What a wonderful surprise for Kristen! I've already watched that video like five times and I can't stop getting misty eyed!
Awww! Don't worry I was DEFINITELY tearing up when I edited that part. Even for days after I'd watch it again and I'd get all choked up. It was such a great moment! Aww I'm so glad you liked that video!!
I love the Zurg photo! Everyone's expressions are priceless!
Why thank you.
I LOVE Roz from Monster's Inc. When I was in college I worked during the summer at a Blockbuster Video and there used to be this lady who rented videos all the time who looked EXACTLY like Roz. I accidently called her that to her face once, but thankfully she didn't catch the reference.
Oh my gosh that's SO funny! Thank goodness she didn't notice hahaha
The Splash Mountain pic is GREAT!
Thank you!
Haha having to use a credit card for water...only at Disney!
Of course!! They have all of the high tech equipment nowadays.
I have been cracking up at the frumps at 3am. PARTY LIKE A MAN!
Oh my God SO funny. We were delirious. We saw the phrase "Party Like A Man" on some guy's shirt... so we kept saying it all night. It really makes no sense in the video... and I don't think I mentioned that in the TR... but yeah that's the story behind that saying LOL
Wow, that picture of you in front of the flowers at Epcot is gorgeous! I love it!
Aww thanks!
Ugh, I hate that Starring Rolls closes so early. That has been the cause of many a disappointment for me!
I know!! It's so sad! And I always forget that it closes early, too. I will remember next time though!
I remember that Hakuna Matata skit from your last TR. Adorable!
Oh thank you! Such good times.
Oh my gosh, I LOVE Thomas Kinkade. I desperately want one of his Disney paintings to hang over my mantle in my new house!
Aren't they BEAUTIFUL!? I know.. I want one for my future house too!
I've ridden GMR about a million times and I've only gotten the cowboy ONCE. What is up with that?!
That's crazy!! I know, I've never gotten it. Maybe one day!
The interaction with Buzz and Woody was priceless! Nat was too precious!
Aww thanks! That was one of my favorite moments of the entire trip!
Sorry to be rude, but that bus driver who yelled at you needs to get the memo. If you don't like flash photography maaaybe you shouldn't work at Disney, buddy.
That's what I say!! Seriously. Grouchy, grouchy, grouchy.
I LOVE YOUR CANDY CORN NAILS!
THANK YOU! I loved that idea!
That's awesome that you got Test Track FPs! Good thing Kristen left her sunglasses in the barf bag!
I know!! Everything happens for a reason I guess!
I can't read the next comment I wanted to make in my notes because I was scribbling frantically...
LOL it's okay!
Anyway, All of your Coronado Springs pictures are AMAZING. They need to hire you as a photographer because that makes me want to stay there!
Thank you so much! And ahh I'd love that. If only!
Okay, last comment- I could not stop laughing at The Bread!!
BAHAHA I'm glad you enjoyed that part.
I hope you find it!![]()
I can't wait to go there and experience! I will definitely be reporting back to you guys on EVERYTHING! This Christmas trip is going to be unbelivable i can't even wait!!!THE NUMBER WENT DOWN AGAIN!! 42 AND 34!!
I would DEFINITELY recommend getting DVC. If you're going to go on a regular basis anyway.. you're overall going to save a lot of money AND you get to stay in the best resorts. It's basically just prepaying for your vacations. Well worth it in my opinion.
Hahaha that's fine! I'd love to talk to any of my readers! I wonder if anyone actually recognizes me in the parks when I'm there.Probably not LOL
Exactly! I'm sure you'll have fun no matter where you're staying!
Hahaha I'm so glad you appreciate the word "frump" nowMuch different than your original idea of it... but that would actually work too!
It can be used for everything!
Then......
the best moment of my life happened.
I GOT...
TO EAT...
THE BREAD!
![]()
OH MY LORD IN HEAVEN this is THE BEST BREAD I have ever eaten in my entire life!!
Ah, you're trip is looking so fun! I have to say that the bread in Disney is always the best break, and I'm sure that Kona is no different. I'm going to have to take your word for it and get some the next time I am in the area!
Also, your nails are fabulous. I wish I had the patience, or the ability to no pick it off!
One thing that I am especially loving about your report is the pictures! YOUR CAMERA IS FANTASTIC! If you don't mind me asking, what kind is it?! Mine kinda bit the dust, so I am looking to get a new one before my upcoming trip! I am hoping that some black friday deals come my way. But not the point. Yours is wonderful and I would love to know what kind it is!
Can't wait to read more!![]()
I bet that is gonna be one awesome TR! Would ya look at that?! 33 and 41 now! MOVIN' RIGHT ALONG!!! Yessss!CHRISTMAS.
Haha!
Oh man. I'm totally doing DVC one day. Unless I become a cast member, which let's face it, is GOING to have to happen. Then my parents can do DVC to visit me.
I bet they do! There's bound to be some lurky-loos out there who, since they are indeed lurking, would feel awkward talking to you. I however, would not. Haha! One of these days, there's gonna need to be a big DIS party at Magic Kingdom or something. I just think that'd be awesome.
Believe it or not, I actually have been describing things as frumpy lately! It's amazing how fast I pick up on things I tell ya!
Ahh! Ok so I hadn't gotten the chance to comment on this TR yet because I've been soo behind and I wanted to wait until I was all caught up! I seriously love your trip reports so much!I've been reading a couple pages of yours every night before bed and you guys were in my dream the other night! hahahaha I know that might be creepy but it was so funny! I was with you guys in a Coronado Springs room and we were getting ready to go to the parks and freshening up a bit and you pulled out a deodorant that was Disney Princess themed and you were like "this is how you smell like a princess even on the super hot days in Disney!" And I was soo jealous! hahahaha but oh my gosh, I was at Disney and staying at Coronado August 14th-18th! How funny! Too bad I wasn't there one day later...I seriously would have had a conniption if I ran into you guys! But I totally know what you're talking about with the heat making touring the World Showcase hard! We broke it up over two days and I seriously felt like I was melting! But anyways, thanks for the pleasant distraction from homework!
After reading this post and the subsequent comments, I just made an ADR at Kona for our trip (3 weeks away!!!!)...
Thought I'd tell you I got accepted to the College Program today! I'll be doing Main Entrance Operations for Spring 2012.
I have definitely become an advocate of pool time on recent trips. It's a great way to relax and cool down when it's hot.
You are so right about the Kona bread. I love bread. I could eat only that for dinner and be completely satisfied.
P.S. Love the phone case. I got one for my mom on my recent trip. A limited edition of the castle with the dream lights!![]()
That's okay! And ahh I know I write updates so frequently. If I ever go too fast just let me know!
I would go back in the summer... but nothing really stops me from going there. If that's really the only time you can go, then I would do it. However, I'd probably choose another time of year over it. It's very hot!
I use iPhoto, yeah! I hope they don't look too fake But I like them. I can't seem to get the hang of photoshop... there are too many options. So I use iPhoto instead... it's much simpler! But I know.. I always have that debate of which version I like better.
And yeah the grass in Disney is very green! I like it. Florida has weird grass though haha.
To be fair, the cat had just given birth a couple weeks before. Post-pregnancy cravings, maybe?I hope you love your meal!! Oh no! I'm sorry your car stole your bread. That's just not right!
I think it's actually wooden. They're supposed to be like tiki statues I think.. so that could be why they're a little creepy.
Haha, not too fast! More like I'm too slow! And then I see that there's like a lot of other comments to go through and I get lazy.
Would that change when you do your CP program? It seems like a fall semester CP would have slightly better weather than spring/summer (also Christmas!).
If you shoot in RAW it gets a little easier - I have photoshop set as the default program for raw files on my mac. When they open up in photoshop you can adjust exposure, saturation, etc. (I'm explaining this poorly, I haven't opened it up for a bit). There's an auto function as well, so I usually do the auto adjustment, note the changes, then do an undo and fiddle around with the different things. My problem is that I tend towards muted colors (see: my entire wardrobe of gray, white, navy, and black) and never think to do really bright pictures like that!
To be fair, the cat had just given birth a couple weeks before. Post-pregnancy cravings, maybe?
Wood makes more sense! I was picturing them recarving blocks of chocolate to look like Lilo and Stitch nightly.I think it's the eyes.. not that I'm an expert on wood carving! Some of the dimension in the face probably got flattened in the photograph which makes it seem creepier!
Kind of a nosy question, but how often do you usually go to Disney? I just saw the link to your dining reviews and realized that all of your trips have been within the past year! It seems like a lot of traveling to go 5 times a year, but two of them were with your friends. Getting DVC sounds like a great idea, being able to visit so much.
You have to be getting really excited! I am so ready for my Christmas trip! I am at 31 Days and am pretty much going crazy!![]()
And I love your phone cover! I am considering getting the iphone 4s (Have the droid incredible now)... Is there a lot of disney world apps on the iphone?
I forgot to add!
Lightroom is more user-friendly compared to photoshop, I think. Because it's designed for just photo editing it's easier to find the different options to edit pictures. Plus you can download packages with preset values for different styles of pictures (okay, this is kind of hard to describe but if you google 'lightroom presets' any decent preset site should have an example of a photo with that preset applied). The huge variety of presets is really amazing!
Just a note that I'm just an amateur - and mediocre at that! - at both Lightroom and Photoshop so these were just my impressions![]()
New reader here! I lurked one of your older TRs but don't remember if I ever commented. I just want to say I think it's so funny that you love the word "frumpy" because so do I haha. I've thought it was one of the funniest words for years now and it was an inside joke with one of my friends for a while now.
Anyways, you guys are very entertaining! Can't wait for the next part![]()
AHHHH YES I'm freaking out!Wow 31 is so soon! I have 36!!
Thank you! Yes there are a lot of Disney Apps for the iPhone! The best one is called "Disney Magic" and it has all of the restaurant menus and park hours listed. It is probably my most used app!
