Tink and Pluto: Heading BACK to the World!Part 5, pg 3

[Tinkerbell Teen]

A NOTE: To the thread moving peoples. Please don't send this to the PreTrip board because this isn't just a pretrip, that's just what comes before the trip! The real trip will be up ASAP.

Well, here we are. Back for round two of the Tinkerbell Teen extravaganza of TRs. This time, I promise to actually finish this one. Really! I can’t believe that we actually went on this trip. But before we give our sobstory, meet the Cast Of Characters!

Me (Tink): Hey, you’re talking to her! I’m 13 years old. The things I’m really excited about on this trip are the BBB, the Haunted Mansion, and the first seat on Space Mountain! I’m really looking forward to this trip with my mom. She’s worked so hard for this, and I am so proud of her! Favourite Characters: Marie, Hannah Montana, Minnie, Tink.

DM (Pluto): My mommy! Also known as plutopuppy. Mom is a codename. Age: Oldish. She and I knew we were coming back the second we were on the plane after our last trip! Pluto’s really excited for soarin’ on SOARIN’!!, Cinderella’s Gala Feast at 1900 Park Fare and…seeing my expression as I emerge from the BBB as a Disney-fied Tinkerbell teen. She’s really excited too! Favourite Characters: Pluto, Chip ‘n Dale, Tinkerbell and Eeyore!

And special cameo appearances by…

DDad: Dad. The driver, and somewhat the enabler. He covered the cost of our flights so we could go to Disney! We offered for him to come this trip, but he said “No, one trip in two years was good enough.”

DDog: Jazzy! Okay. So he isn’t really in this trip report at all. But he wasn’t listed in the last one. If Mel’s trip reports did a downfall with no hamster listed, maybe having Jazzy in here might help me.

DInvisibleHamster: Okay, now it’s getting excessive! I want a hamster. But mom says no, so I’ll just make one up. His name is….. Sir Picklebum of Blakelewisland A.I McBowy T&P!

Okay, now for the story behind this TR. When we got on the plane after last year’s trip, we decided ‘We gotta go back.’ And Dad said

‘If you’re going back, you need to get a job and pay for it yourself.’

So what did Pluto do?

She got 3 part time jobs. Because she is a stay-at-home mom and does volunteer stuff.

AND NOW WE’RE GOING! (Okay, so Dad DID cover the flight…. THANKS DADDY!

So, we’re so excited for this trip. We booked it in March. March 18th, 2007. Our trip dates? April 25- May 1st- 2007.

Yeah. We’re last minute.

Here’s our itinerary.

Day 1: We arrive. Fly out of Toronto, to Ottawa, then to Orlando. Check in at POP. Go to DTD and check out our surroundings, including WOD.

Day 2: Magic Kingdom. We spend the whole day there, from the early EMH to closing. We don’t take naps . We rely on coffee and Coke to get us through the day. We have Breakfast at Crystal Palace.

Day 3: The princess day. We start off with Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for me at 12:30. Then we are taking the bus to GF. Okay, here’s where it gets complex. If we are close to our 4:30 ADR for 1900 Park Fare, we stay at the GF and look around. If we are far from it, we go to the MK for about an hour via monorail. Report back for dining with Cindy. Continue to Epcot for EMH.

Day 4: Princess Day con’t. Hopefully my hair lasts one more day! A full Epcot day. PSB in Norway, Breakfast. Garden Grill for dinner.

Day 5: We are actually unsure. May be an MK day, may be Epcot, may involve MGM, may be all 3. But! We must be at MK for our dinner at CP and EMH.

Day 6: We are trying to hit our favourites in ALL FOUR THEME PARKS. We will do as much as we can. Finishing with MK, LTT for Dinner.

Day 7: We go home Get on ME bus at around 11.

Coming up next: More fun about booking.

 

[Tinkerbell Teen]

We have a pretty packed schedule. But it’s all good. SO. More about this booking business. As I said, we booked in March. We could also get every ADR we wanted except CRT and Chef Mickeys. But we almost didn’t get Akershus. We also purchased the Unofficial Guide to WDW. We don’t agree with some stuff, but we like it.

We got luggage tags a few days after booking. POP, here we come!

Now, for an important chapter in our tale. The attack of the LGMHs. We started our quest the Friday night after we got our tags. We headed to Home Depot, and discussed our battle plan, and then tumbled out of the car like James Bond (of which I have never seen his movies. If he has any.)

Kidding.

We actually disguised ourselves by dressing as regular people. We pretended our mission was to paint my room Tink. (I wish) We maneuvered to the paint chips….. and saw…..

A big, empty, Alien Green box.

Beside it, we saw…..

A big, full Sonic Boom box.

We looked at each other, and nodded. We proceeded to grab as many as we could without looking suspicious. (Half the contents of the box) So, we might have possibly broken the most sacred DISrule ever by not getting Alien Green (I’ve never heard of it, but it might exist!) But we have paint chips. We got into the car and drove away with happy thoughts about our trip finally coming!

When we got home, we proceeded to soak the SBMH’s (sonic boom mickey heads) in water and take them off of their backgrounds. While watching Miss USA. What? It was on! But the only thing I really remember is Miss Kansas with her flipped out hair, and getting mad because she lost.

This part is short and bizarre, and possibly disturbing. It is also very essential. It all happened one afternoon when me and Pluto were talking Disney. (No surprises there!) We were talking about our last trip, and we were talking about carrying bags…

Pluto: Hey, you know how last trip, Dad had the backpack?

Tink: Yeah…

Pluto: Well, I’m gonna carry the backpack around the parks this year.

Tink: Okay… I don’t want the waist pouch. Its geeky. You can have it.

Pluto: You can have the d**** bag, then.(dont know if they would block the word)

Tink: (laughing) The WHAT?

Pluto: … (laughs)

Yeah. From now on, we are calling the bag the D-Bag. Apparently, she was trying to say Disney and Mickey, and well….. funny anyways.

The disboards are a great help in our trip planning! Me and Pluto (on our different identities as Tink and Pluto) read trip reports, research tips, read countless threads on the BBB, and I chat in the Teen Disney forums. One night I was in tap class. I had gotten out of class and I was waiting for Pluto. And she was late. So when she drove up, we had this conversation:

Tink: Hi Mom, class was good, what took you so long?

Pluto: Well, I was posting on the Dis.

Tink: WHAT? (starts lecture about how my teachers let us out at different times, and how I’m missing Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader(I am, she’s not) and why apples will invade the country in 2019 (kidding))

So, we are your happy, loving, Dising family.

Take us or leave us.

Next Up: The actual trip begins.

EDIT: Wow, is the beginning this bad?

 

[Tinkerbell Teen]

Day One

Alright. So now we get the reeeeeal good stuff. Yeah! Alright. You know kids, how the NIGHT before a trip, your parents fight over everything because they have APTLS (adults packing too late syndrome)? Well, Pluto and Dad had a nice case of APTLS. So I just hung out and packed, and Disboarded. In my room and downstairs. Not in my parent’s room. And then I went to bed, too excited to sleep! And then… THE MORNING. I opened my eyes, thinking it to be at least midnight… and guess what the clock read?

3:50 am

Yeah. Y’all heard me. I didn’t get up at an extravagant hour! Aren’t y’all proud of me? So, I spend a few more minutes in bed, then leap up and get dressed, brush my teeth, brush my hair, brush my… I mean, WASH my face, put on a teeny bit of eyeshadow and lipgloss to look human, and then the impatient factor wore in.

Tink: When are we leeeeeaving?

Pluto: Soon.

5 mins later.

Tink: When are we leaving?

Dad: WHEN YOUR MOTHER AND I ARE READY!!!!!!

Tink: Okay.

A little while later…. I heard the front door open! And that means…. DAD IS LOADING THE SUITCASES! WE ARE GOING! YAY!

A little bit later, we got in the car, and made the hour-long drive to Toronto for the flight. We left at 5:30. So, I pulled out my notebook and mp3 player, and I plug myself in and start taking notes. After a few dozen songs, we got to Toronto. I was soo excited. Because for me, the trip doesn’t start when you check in. It begins the second you leave the house. So, Dad parked at the airport, and we hopped out. Pluto asked if I wanted a peppermint, and I accepted, AT THE MOMENT FORGETTING I HAVE BRACES. This ain’t gonna go well. I sucked the peppermint for like, 10 seconds and then bit down on it. After the mint was gone, I felt something detach from my teeth. Oh no.

I'll leave you people hanging there until some people reply or say they hate it.

Up Next: What fell off of Tink's teeth and do Tink and Pluto get to WDW alive?

 

[Renee1061]

Mom/daughter trips are sooo much fun!! Looking forward to the rest of the report!

 

[Tinkerbell Teen]

Mom/daughter trips are sooo much fun!! Looking forward to the rest of the report!

Thank Mickey, someone is actually reading this. Next chapter coming up just for you!

 

[Tinkerbell Teen]

Alright. So, where were we? Ah. The Airport, where I just felt something deattatch. Gotcha.

So, this thing is in my mouth, and I am freaking out because the orthodontist is very mean, so I told Pluto about it, and then proceeded to spit out a metal thing. My bracket. The little thingy at the back that holds the wire in place? Uh-huh. History in the palm of my hand. So anywhoo, we went into the airport to find the Westjet check in. We checked our bags, and went off to see the Wizard… no. I mean, we went off to some little bakery for a cinnamon bun. THAT’S more like it. We get the cinnamon buns, and go to the gate. This is where we leave Dad. We go through, he goes to work. Fun for all but him. We get checked (Pluto beeps, I don’t- it was her pants) but that took a bit longer that usual because…. Well….. Pluto kinda got the patdown. Because as much as we told them it was the buttons on her Capri pants, they didn’t believe us. Because a mom and teenage daughter might bomb a plane. If they would, it ain’t us. Then we waited. At the gate. Listening to music. Well, I was. Then we got on our flight, and the plane was great. Seatback TVs, more room, very comfy. W'd tewtally fly Westjet again. As we waited for takeoff, I saw a guy outside the plane, and he was bald and wearing earphones. The earphones were at an angle that they looked like Mickey ears. Then the flight attendant came on and introduced the crew. Well, THAT’S a first. A lot of young kids were on the flight, so I assumed they were going the same route as us. Then they said the flight would be only 38 minutes! Then Pluto bursts the happy bubble, whispering ‘The taxi is long. Very long’. Alright. One looooooong taxi later and we’re like a bird! Flying away! TO OTTAWA! On the plane, I turned on the seatback TV as soon as I could, and flipped to MuchMoreMusic. And who do I see within 5 seconds? Eva Avila, the Canadian Idol 2006!

Side Story: I am a big Canadian Idol Fan. Me and Pluto went to two live tapings (top ten performance and the big finale) And the first time I got to meet the entire top ten, including Eva. And at the finale, I met a judge. Zack. So, it was cool. Then, in April, a week-and-a-bit before the trip, me and my friend and my mom went to Eva Avila’s concert. It was awesome.

So I was wearing my Eva concert tee on the plane. So I was an insane Eva fan…. On a plane. The next horror movie. So after Eva, John Mayer, and Fergie, (G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S), and some other cool stuff, we landed in Ottawa.

Tomorrow, on Tink and Pluto: Heading Back to the World: Tink and Pluto get hopelessly lost in Ottawa airport.

Enjoy. Cause I am, now that some people are starting to read it.

 

[tonga]

Enjoying your report!!

 

[DLo]

So is there an update on your braces? My son just got his off but seems to keep forgetting to wear his reatainer. I hope the wire doesn't poke you and cause you to not eat all those princess meals you have planned !!! Keep up the good work.

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Just found this!!!

Glad to see you're doing ANOTHER trippie.


I'm in!!!!


I'll be back to comment.


Cheers, Mel.

 

[Tinkerbell Teen]

tonga: Glad to hear you're in!

DLo: Don't worry, we didn't miss dinner with Cindy or Breakfast with Belle! I got it fixed after we got back, and I'm doing fine now! Hoping to get em off soon!

Mel: Hey. Have you actually finished your trippie yet? I'll check it after I post an update.

 

[Tinkerbell Teen]

So. Y'all. Where were we? Ah yes. We had just landed in Ottawa.

We got off the plane, and tried to go to customs. Only problem is, we couldn’t find it. So we looked, and looked, and got in the wrong line, and couldn’t find our bags, until this nice worker took us into the big room of bags in the back and asked us which were ours. We found ours, thanked the lady, and left. We got to security, didn’t get patted, put our bags in for ME, and got some seats at the gate. We were chatting and stuff like regular people, when all of a sudden, this old man with some weird accent stuck his ticket in my face and said ‘Philadelphia?’ and I was like ‘What?’ and he said again ‘Philadelphia?’ and I was like ‘Pluto…?’ and eventually the man found a flight attendant. The same one that helped us earlier!!! Then we boarded. But before we got on the plane, we were all stopped in the boarding hall, we put the bags in front of us, and just stood there. I was scared, like ‘PNG WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!’. Then they got a dog and he ran down the line, sniffing everything. And everyone. I guess he was training. Or had to find a fire hydrant and thought a suitcase would make a nice alternative. Then we got on another comfy Westjet plane!! On the way to Orlando, I watched Treehouse, Price Is Right, and MuchMoreMusic (Justin Timberlake music video). Then I got bored. So I played my Nintendo DS! And watched Bob the Builder (Can we fix it? Yes we can!). And we had this shocking conversation:

Pluto: OMG Tink I forgot something!

Tink Oh no, what?

Pluto: The Disbag!

Tink: The WHAT?

Pluto: The d**** bag!

Tink: *flips out*

Pluto: We’ll have to get you a new bag then.

Tink: *smiling very big* Yeah…

So, this is the end of the road for the D-Bag. Too bad for it. And you, if you were a fan of it. Then we landed. Hooray for no snakes on the plane! (I will never watch that or When A Stranger Calls, because I babysit and fly!)

Coming Up Next: We check into POP. Also, you will get to see pics of Me and Pluto for the first time in Canadian History! (And I'll be Canadian History if I found out I failed the geography quiz we had today!)

 

[Lilo's Mom]

Hi Tink! I am loving your trip report. My DD, Kelly who is now 21, and I made several trips to DisneyWorld that were just the two of us, including a Disney Cruise when she was 13. We have even done the drive from Chicago to Orlando in the middle of a blizzard to get to the Mouse House!

Can't wait to hear more.

 

[VanniGirl]

Great report - looking forward to more!

 

[Tinkerbell Teen]

Vannigirl: Glad to hear you're on board!

Lilo's Mom: I'm curious as to what kind of dog you have. We have a shih tzu/ bijon frise and he looks a bit like yours.

 

[lynn71092]

Count me in too!!!

 

[Tinkerbell Teen]

Alright. I don't feel like doing a trippie update today because I got my Meningitis shot and my left arm hurts, so I decided it was time for you to see who you're reading about. These pics are taken from the next chapter of our tale, which will come up tomorrow or tonight if you are good little minions.

Alrighty. This is me, Tink!

And this is Pluto! (A nice picture)

So, now when I am talking, you can picture who I'm talking about. Fun, eh?

By the way, anyone catch So You Think You Can Dance last night? My faves so far are Lacey(Benji's sister) and Hok (the breaker who got disqualified).

 

[NMAmy]

Hey, kiddo! Thanks for the pm. Sorry I'm late to the party--my own personal mommy was in the hospital so I saw your message but didn't have time to read the report until now. Mom is doing fine now but she's my excuse so I had to tell you about it.

I have to start at the beginning, so here goes!

The things I’m really excited about on this trip are the BBB, the Haunted Mansion, and the first seat on Space Mountain! I’m really looking forward to this trip with my mom. She’s worked so hard for this, and I am so proud of her! Favourite Characters: Marie, Hannah Montana, Minnie, Tink.

DM (Pluto): My mommy! Also known as plutopuppy. Mom is a codename. Age: Oldish.

You're going to BBB?? My 16 yo dd was just dying to go in there but they didn't have dresses big enough for her and she wanted the works--not just the hair and makeup but the big, pouffy dress, as well. Heck, it sounds kind of fun to me, too!

And I'm pretty sure your mom is not oldish. My codename is Mom, too. We have to stick together.

DInvisibleHamster: Okay, now it’s getting excessive! I want a hamster. But mom says no, so I’ll just make one up. His name is….. Sir Picklebum of Blakelewisland A.I McBowy T&P!

I'd hate to have to call your hamster to come in from the yard!

She got 3 part time jobs. Because she is a stay-at-home mom and does volunteer stuff.

AND NOW WE’RE GOING! (Okay, so Dad DID cover the flight…. THANKS DADDY!

Your mom ROCKS! And it was nice of your dad to cover the airfare, too.

I'm off to read another installment!

 

[NMAmy]

We actually disguised ourselves by dressing as regular people. We pretended our mission was to paint my room Tink. (I wish) We maneuvered to the paint chips….. and saw…..

A big, empty, Alien Green box.

Beside it, we saw…..

(Half the contents of the box) So, we might have possibly broken the most sacred DISrule ever by not getting Alien Green (I’ve never heard of it, but it might exist!) But we have paint chips. We got into the car and drove away with happy thoughts about our trip finally coming!

You are such a funny writer, Tink. But I have to know...is Sonic Boom just another form of green or is it a different color? I'm too lazy to go steal Mickey heads myself so just thought I'd ask. You know, in case I send the kid to do my stealing for me, I can give her an alternate color.

how I’m missing Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader(I am, she’s not) and why apples will invade the country in 2019 (kidding))

 

[NMAmy]

You know kids, how the NIGHT before a trip, your parents fight over everything because they have APTLS (adults packing too late syndrome)?

You hit that one right on the head!

Because for me, the trip doesn’t start when you check in. It begins the second you leave the house. So, Dad parked at the airport, and we hopped out. Pluto asked if I wanted a peppermint, and I accepted, AT THE MOMENT FORGETTING I HAVE BRACES. This ain’t gonna go well. I sucked the peppermint for like, 10 seconds and then bit down on it. After the mint was gone, I felt something detach from my teeth. Oh no.

For me, the trip starts the minute you leave the house, too. Now I'm concerned about your braces. Why, oh, why does something like that have to happen before you're hardly out of the driveway? I am stressed on your behalf.

 

[NMAmy]

So, this thing is in my mouth, and I am freaking out because the orthodontist is very mean, so I told Pluto about it, and then proceeded to spit out a metal thing. My bracket. The little thingy at the back that holds the wire in place? Uh-huh. History in the palm of my hand.

Hold it right there, missy. Did you have a loose wire for the whole trip?

This is where we leave Dad. We go through, he goes to work. Fun for all but him.

Poor Dad.

Side Story: I am a big Canadian Idol Fan. Me and Pluto went to two live tapings (top ten performance and the big finale) And the first time I got to meet the entire top ten, including Eva. And at the finale, I met a judge. Zack. So, it was cool. Then, in April, a week-and-a-bit before the trip, me and my friend and my mom went to Eva Avila’s concert. It was awesome.

I said it before and I'll say it again--your mom rocks!

Love the pictures of both of you! Can't wait to read more!
