They Don't Eat Hash Browns in Princessland - May 14 COMPLETE! 2/8 pg. 73

[IheartDDuck]

Continued from previous post:

After riding through a small world filled with tiny childlike dolls, we decided to head over to Philharmagic.

This is my favorite!



Because where else are you going to see Duck Butt!



I would buy all of these if I could. It would be a bed of Donald plushies.



I decided at this point that I wanted to do something I had not done before. I wanted to meet Gaston, and his meet and greet time was opening up shortly. One thing off of my list of things to do!

So another one of those moments where you're waiting in line with people, and they have no idea what's going on? A Mom was in line with her five year old, and they had no idea who he was. She kept commenting that she didn't know who he was, but they would meet him. I commented that he was Gaston from Beauty and the Beast.

To which she said to her daughter "we're waiting to meet the Prince!"

Lady, are you telling me that you've never seen BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!?

Get out. Get out of Disney World now. You are not allowed here anymore. Or better yet.



Gaston came outside for the meet and greet right after this lovely exchange, and he met her daughter first.

He asked her how old she was. She told him she was five years old.

He then proceeded to tell her how when hew as five years old, he had already owned his own tavern. Well, he didn't really own it, he took it from LeFou. He asked her what she was planning on doing with her life.

The look on her face was priceless. She had absolutely no idea what he was talking about.

Then it was time for us to meet Gaston.

He proceeded to lean in to me to ask me to look into his eyes.



And he says "aren't they amazing?"



He did the same thing with Mom.





He was really into character, which was awesome. When he would pull you in to take a picture with you, he would yank you into his side really hard.







At that point, I told Gaston that I wanted to take a selfie. Oh, he took a selfie all right.





Finally he obliged me and took his hand away. Bad Gaston.



After meeting him, we were so apply that we did. After the entire trip was over and done with, Mom commented and still to this day says that it's her favorite meet and greet of the trip. I would have to agree with her on that.

Up next: What do you mean you're nervous around a pixie?!

 

[DVCWDWMEMBER]

We sure do, right?

Well, she's going to read the update at some point, so I think she'll realize the fun she missed.

Yep I totally missed out on the teacup fun and the high five. Will have to make up for that the next few trips for sure.

 

[DVCWDWMEMBER]

I think that Gaston was for sure the best. He was funny and totally in character with both of us.

 

[ZehnJahren]

Those have to be the best Gaston pictures I've seen on the DIS!

 

[amazingact21]

Another DISmeet, awesome! AND a run-in with scoop, that's a pretty productive morning.


A cinnamon roll is a fine breakfast choice. One of the better selections from a QS place in MK.


That sounds like an amazing meet and greet with Gaston. He's hilarious, and those selfie pictures had me rolling. I can definitely see how'd that'd be the best character interaction.

 

[KatMark]

Love your leggings and make up for the day.

Hmmm....why did we not plan on stopping at Starbucks for Popadon's breakfast?

Glad you had a brief (and then future) DIS meet with Missy.

Popadon looks like he is going to put his head in yours and moms hands in the photopass picture.

Sorry you had a little tiff, but glad you worked it all out.

That cinnamon bun is HUGE.

Who doesn't love Mickey's Philharmagic (notice how I skipped right over that other attraction ).

Those are THE BEST photos I ahve ever seen with Gaston. I loved every single one. I have a feeling that Mom MIGHT lose a staring contest with Gaston.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

I am way to interested in all your makeup choices and process ... possibly because my wife doesn't wear any makeup so the whole concept is fairly foreign and thus exciting to me

Very cool that you met up with Missy!



Ok, I am sorry but the first thought I had when seeing the above picture is that you and your mom are carrying/dragging Pop after he had a rough night on Main St.

 

[geckodani]

Of course you fight, you are family. It happens. It's the making up that is important!

Gaston. I have no words. I now want to meet him, and I'm not one for character meets!

Fabulous selfies, LOL!!!

 

[missangelalexis]

Love the leggings!!

Wow I really need to try one of those cinnamon rolls.

It's never fun to argue on vacation, but I'm glad you guys sorted it out quickly!

Great pics with Gaston!! And sounded like great interaction too, especially those selfies!!

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Bahahahaha, for some reason that first PP photo with Magic Shot Tink has a total Weekend at Bernie's vibe going on.

But Danielle, you ARE famous and I'm actually kind of surprised this hadn't happened before.

Well of course you eat the cinnamon roll all yourself... it's breakfast and it's important (and my God so very delicious).

"It runs in my family on the male side." Sorry, that cracked me up "The Male Side". Way to clarify!

Sorry... Small World... I'm judging.

Hmmmmm... you both seem to be pretty smitten with Gaston, a bit of a bad boy thing I guess. Of course, your mom is married to Popadon, so that makes sense.

 

[IheartDDuck]

Yep I totally missed out on the teacup fun and the high five. Will have to make up for that the next few trips for sure.

You did miss out on the tea-cup and the hi-five! And we couldn't tell you about it cause you were sleeping when we got back!

I think that Gaston was for sure the best. He was funny and totally in character with both of us.

He is a must meet for me on all trips now. For real.

Those have to be the best Gaston pictures I've seen on the DIS!

He was AMAZING!

Another DISmeet, awesome! AND a run-in with scoop, that's a pretty productive morning.

It was a good morning. I was wracking up the DISmeets on this trip. The run-in with Scoop was pretty awesome.

The cinnamon roll is definitely a fine selection for a breakfast choice.

He is hysterical! I loved our meet and greet with him. He's a must do for us on upcoming trips.

 

[IheartDDuck]

Love your leggings and make up for the day.

Hmmm....why did we not plan on stopping at Starbucks for Popadon's breakfast?

Glad you had a brief (and then future) DIS meet with Missy.

Those are my favorite leggings! And they happen to be the first pair I ever bought.

Well, hear me out. Starbucks was crowded already. And Pop tends to avoid carb heavy breakfasts because of his diabetes, so when he heard "pork shank" he was sold.

It was so nice to meet Missy. She's really awesome.

Popadon looks like he is going to put his head in yours and moms hands in the photopass picture.

Sorry you had a little tiff, but glad you worked it all out.

That cinnamon bun is HUGE.

It does look like that, doesn't it? Hanging his head in shame perhaps?

We worked it out. I mean, we're like everyone else, right?

It's MASSIVE! And so so yummy.

Who doesn't love Mickey's Philharmagic (notice how I skipped right over that other attraction ).

Those are THE BEST photos I ahve ever seen with Gaston. I loved every single one. I have a feeling that Mom MIGHT lose a staring contest with Gaston.

He was awesome! I think Mom might lose a staring contest against him. He's kinda charming. In a villainous kind of way.

I am way to interested in all your makeup choices and process ... possibly because my wife doesn't wear any makeup so the whole concept is fairly foreign and thus exciting to me

Very cool that you met up with Missy!



Ok, I am sorry but the first thought I had when seeing the above picture is that you and your mom are carrying/dragging Pop after he had a rough night on Main St.

Hahaha, that's okay that you're interested in the process. See, your wife not wearing makeup is likely the equivalent of me wearing makeup. As in, it's habit. I'm just so used to it, and I find it fun to play with, so I'm always applying and finding new and better ways to do it.

Maybe we were dragging him from a rough night. I mean, we did spend the evening at MK.

Of course you fight, you are family. It happens. It's the making up that is important!

Gaston. I have no words. I now want to meet him, and I'm not one for character meets!

Fabulous selfies, LOL!!!

It is the making up that's important, you are correct. I just keep it real for everyone, just so they don't think we're all "lalalala" all the time.

He is incredible! You have to meet him, and I do not understand why I have not met him before.

 

[IheartDDuck]

Love the leggings!!

Wow I really need to try one of those cinnamon rolls.

It's never fun to argue on vacation, but I'm glad you guys sorted it out quickly!

Great pics with Gaston!! And sounded like great interaction too, especially those selfies!!

Thanks! They are my favorites.

You do need to try one of those. They are really close to the old Main Street cinnamon rolls. I actually liked it better than the one from the bakery.

He was a great interaction. Selfies with characters are the best. It helps when you are a goober like me.

Bahahahaha, for some reason that first PP photo with Magic Shot Tink has a total Weekend at Bernie's vibe going on.

OMG, I LOVE WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S! And yes, it totally looks like that!

But Danielle, you ARE famous and I'm actually kind of surprised this hadn't happened before.

Pssssshhh, whatever. You're way more famous than I am!

Well of course you eat the cinnamon roll all yourself... it's breakfast and it's important (and my God so very delicious).

It is so very delicious. I'm losing 20 pounds before we go on vacation just so I can stuff it back in my face.

"It runs in my family on the male side." Sorry, that cracked me up "The Male Side". Way to clarify!

Oh, I absolutely had to clarify! The men in my family are SO DRAMATIC! My Mom and I are always like "wha?" with their dramatics.

Sorry... Small World... I'm judging.

Judge away.

Hmmmmm... you both seem to be pretty smitten with Gaston, a bit of a bad boy thing I guess. Of course, your mom is married to Popadon, so that makes sense.

Yes, it makes sense with Mom being married to Popadon. I like good boys too. He was just way too charming.

 

[Mom2m&k]

I love your make-up! I would totally go to a Danielle/Missy party! The two of you are some of my very favorite trip report authors! I would totally stalk (in a non-stalkerish way) both of you if I knew you were there at the same time I was! I completely get the argument with your parents. I often have similar ones. You just want them to take care of themselves! Can't wait to read more!

 

[Dugette]

Yay for DIS-meets and DIS-fame! Pretty cool!

So, I couldn't tell, did Popadon get his pork shank for breakfast?

Wow, what a fun meet with Gaston! Love all the pics and how in character he was!

 

[jedimeg16]

Oh my gosh! That meet with Gaston looked hysterical! He is one of the top characters on my Must Meet list the next time I go to the World - Mulan is another elusive one.

 

[disney-inspired]

I'm not caught up but I have to say, HOW DARE YOU BE SO PRETTY! I call shenanigans!

 

[Wood Nymph]

After meeting him, we were so apply that we did. After the entire trip was over and done with, Mom commented and still to this day says that it's her favorite meet and greet of the trip. I would have to agree with her on that.

Your meet up with Gaston was hilarious. This is the first time I have laughed so hard reading a TR that I had tears in my eyes. It is no wonder you and your mom could hardly keep a straight face. He must really love being Gaston.

 

[dawnbu40]

How nice it is to know that your amazing family is normal and disagrees sometimes. Happens to the best of us

We have been disappointed in our meets with Gaston but yours sounds awesome and the pics are priceless

 

[TanzUnited99]

Hi Danielle! I know it's really late but I've decided to join in!

Miss laughing at your posts ha ha. I love the Ariel and Ursula leggings as well as the shorts tip Great makeup as well!

Yay on your DIS meet and 15 minutes of fame!! That was awesome..I was laughing out loud at your description of being recognised by someone you didn't know

Love the Gaston M&G as well as the PP shots. Btw that Cinnamon roll had me drooling sooo much!! Could happily devour one of them beauties right now...

Looking forward to reading more
