Aww!! I LOVE your Minnie outfit. It's so cute. Perfect. Where did you get the shirt? I just love it. And, you look so pretty. You're right; your face really does show how excited you are.
BTW, I loved your Home Alone comment. Classic haha. I still have an old recorder like Kevin had haha. Oh, the 90's!
Thank you so much!! How sweet

I would be very disappointed if no one got my Home Alone reference so yay!! And omg - I have one of those somewhere. Actually I'm pretty sure I have two, because I had the original one, but then they made a girly pink one too! haha
Hello!
Ive read both of your TRs and have loved both of them!
I was very excited when I got home today and saw that you updated
Mickey waffles <3 Im seriously thinking about buying the Mickey waffle maker on Amazon. Even though I know they wont taste exactly like at the parks, they are waffles, and they are Mickey shaped, so its all good.
I just found out this past Sunday that Goofys name was originally Dippy Dawg at D23s Fanniversary Celebration they had. Thats so funny!
I really want to go at the beginning of December. School ruins everything!
Mickey and Minnie <3 They are so cute!![]()

I love that picture of you with them. Like you said, you look so happy!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying them!
Ahh I want a Mickey Waffle maker too! Have you seen this one? http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10801968&CAWELAID=747193199 I love it!
I hope you get to go during early Dec or another low crowd time soon. It's truly a different experience.
Thank you! I was so sososososoosoSO happy in that moment!

LOL at you ordering a kids meal. Speaking of McDonalds also, I do that same thing when ordering a happy meal: "Can I get a chicken nugget happy meal with a root beer please," "Boy or Girl," ".......girl." And I pray its a disney toy haha. And your look of pure joy with Mick and Min is priceless!
Omg that just made me think of the days where every time a new Disney movie came out they would sell cups with the characters on them at McDonalds! Or was it Burger King? I can't remember, all I know is I got fried food AND Disney merch and it was just a happy time.
Hey Lia,
We finally made it over from your "MCLOVIN" series, and are now all caught up on your latest WDW exploits. After reading your earlier trip report, it seemed like an almost impossible task to follow up on "The most entertaining DIS thread EVER". However, YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN, GREAT JOB!!![]()
Can't wait for the next installment.

Yay! Thank you SO much for reading my old TR and following on to this one! I'm so happy that you think this one lives up to my last one because I don't want to be a one hit wonder!
Haha, I loved this update, it's just so all over the place!
IHOP reminds me of childhood Disney trips too! We hardly ever ate AT Disney World, so when we went to IHOP in the morning, it was a big deal! Especially since back then, you could only find them in the south, now they're practically in every town in CT!
What kind of camera did you end up getting! (Did you already mention that and I already forgot?) Your pictures are so great! Pop is so freakin cute and colorful, I love it!
OMG your meet and greet with Mickey and Minnie is SO sweet! I love when characters react to you like that, it makes the experience so much more fun than just taking a picture and going about your business! And your whole Minnie ensemble is adorable!You look so happy in those pictures, I'm glad you posted them!

"All over the place" is really the perfect way to describe me so I'm glad that's being made clear through my writing!

Thank you, I'm glad you like them! I got a Canon Powershot A1200. I edit my pictures in photoshop though. But it's still a good camera, and it wasn't expensive so that was nice!
AHHH I know! I hate when the characters just like stand there. It's so fun when they get super interactive.
Thank you so much!!!
Putting breakfast time limits is just lame. I honestly only like breakfast from McDonalds. They would probably make a lot more money if they sold it round the clock!! But instead they only get money from me personally when I go to the airport because that is when I am awake at that hour or not running late and hence can't make it in. SILLY MCDONALDS.
And Goofy. Oh Goofy. So I have a 3-year-old and he's only allowed to watch the Disney channel. (I know I'm biased but honestly, I CANNOT STAND ANY KID SHOW THAT IS NOT DISNEY!! They just irritate me. I can't handle it.) They have "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" and it's so fun to see all the characters. I mean, Minnie is doing well for herself. She opened up a "bow-tique" where she sells customized bows. And Goofy is always silly and is always searching for stinky shoes or his pants will fall down revealing his "pineapple underpants". It's so great.
I have also wondered many a times why he's so civilized and Pluto is still a dog. I mean, it's not even just that their both dogs. They are ALL animals who can wear clothes and talk...but they have a whole episode of pets. Why can't the pets talk? Is that what makes the difference? Idk. The other confusing thing is Figaro from Pinnochio is Minnie's cat now. When did that happen??? Also...apparently Peter Pan left Neverland and the place is now run by this guy named Jake and his friends. They do exactly what Peter did and just go on all sorts of adventures and are "rivals" with Hook. Okay...whatever, I guess that's not THAT confusing. The confusing part is Peter comes back to visit sometimes and he still isn't grown up!! I thought the way to stay a child forever was to stay there? But he left! Where does he even go? To London? Unknown lands? Yeah...you think you have questions now. Just wait until you have a toddler and you are watching that channel and wondering why the heck things are so crazy!! (Let's not even get started on the Tinkerbell movies haha)
Speaking of having kids...that is one perk. When I don't want to admit something from the child menu or whatever is for me, I have him.The sad part is that everyone in real life knows me too well and they are like "Oh you are going to see Brave on opening day? Is this for Landon OR FOR YOU?" all accusingly. FINE IT'S FOR ME OKAY?!?!? Haters.
And then we are FINALLY getting a Disney Store closeby. I'm obviously going to be there opening day like an hour before because they are doing a show and giving out free stuff and there will be characters and a girl's gotta get her fix, ya know? And they judge me because I want to leave my son at home for that. Rude. I mean we'll obviously be back like weekly! I just don't want to chase a toddler around opening day with the craziness!
So fun to wear character stuff and then MEET that character! I love the attention you got. How special. Those mice are so fabulous. When I met them, I was wearing red and black and so we look all matchy matchy! I didn't even plan it but I love it!! LOVE your pictures with them. You look so happy!! I'm so glad you had such a good time with them!!
(I think your chattiness made me all talkative too!)
They would make SO. MUCH. MORE. money if they served it all day. I really don't get it.
Oh girl, I know all about what goes on at the Clubhouse, trust me. I have a lot of young cousins. That show is so cute. I'm so happy they have the Fab Five on Disney regularly for this generation like they did when I was little.
I didn't know about the Peter Pan thing... that's really weird and I'm just going to choose to ignore that LOL. The Figaro thing is weird, I just don't know how that cat got from Germany to wherever Minnie lives. Disneyland? I don't know. The thing is, there's an old short where Figaro is fighting with Pluto at Mickey's house, and it's confusing because they act like real animals and yet Mickey is Pluto's owner but mice are tiny in real life and dogs and cats are predators for mice. It's confusing when you are little and trying to understand the food chain. LOL. Maybe the jokes on us for over analyzing cartoons? Yeah, I'm gonna stop. LOL
HAHAHA it's funny, I totally know what you mean. I looooove spending time with my cousins, not just cause I love them, but because I still feel like a kid. I don't feel like an adult at all. People older than me in our family are always saying to me, "It's so nice of you to do that with the kids" or "You're so sweet for watching them" and I'm like, I'm not WATCHING them. We're hanging out and watching The Little Mermaid which is only like one of my favorite things to do so I don't mind. I'd rather hang with them than talk about work and stuff with adults. I am such a kid at heart and then I get jury duty summons like a real adult would and I'm like WHAT? NO.
If you're anything like me, get ready to have your life taken over when that Disney Store opens. Not only do I have a Disney Store near me, but I have a DISNEY OUTLET and oh my god. Everything is cheap to begin with but when they have sales I can get sweatshirts for like $6-$11. And they always have child size L/XL so then I can get clothes even cheaper! I got an amazing Snow White shirt for $4 and a Jessie sweatshirt for $6 last time. That would have come to like at least $70 in the parks. It's so hard not to spend ALL my money there b/c everything is so cheap that I'm like "Oh this shirt isn't my absolute fave but IT'S ONLY $3 MUST BUY" and before you know it I'm broke.
Thanks girl!!! Aww, that sounds so cute that you matched with them like that!! I'm sure that was a great picture. I love how excited they get.
I've never seen someone turn a restaurant into an Apple product and I'm so glad about that. HAHAHA. That's hilarious. (As a side note... WHAT IF THERE WAS a product called iHop??? What would it do??? The possibilities are ENDLESS.)
OMG a breakdancer and a PAC MAN on the same building?!?! I didn't see that coming. Oh Disney.
AND THEN A FRIENDS REFERENCE WAS PUT INTO PLAY. When Chandler wonders why Donald feels the need to wrap himself with a towel when he gets out of the shower even though he never wears pants! (Yeah the Goofy and Pluto "I DON'T KNOW, YOU GUYS!" thing reminded me hahaha).
AHHH your mouse pictures are so adorable! You look so happy!!!
OMG. Apple needs to make a pogo stick that plays all your favorite music called the iHop. I AM PATENTING THIS AS WE SPEAK DO NOT STEAL IT. I'll invite you on my yacht ok?
Yes! Oh, the 80's!
THAT IS THE BEST FRIENDS EPISODE. I have referenced it twice in this TR alone LOLOLOL. "The One Where No One's Ready". My favorite thing about that flawless show is the random stuff they say in every episode that has nothing to do with anything, like that Donald reference. It keeps it so fresh, you just never know what they are going to come out with. Especially Chandler and Phoebe. Oh my GOD they need to do a reunion special or something before I die.
Thanks so much girl!!
