When last we left our daring duo, they were daring. They were a duo.
Perhaps, they were even...a hungry duo.
You know what, forget that, we were starving! Tink and I enjoyed our room, got settled and decided to get ready for dinner. But we weren't just going to tidy up a bit, oh no. We were going to be schnazzy.
Say it with me. Schna-zzy.
I'd even bought a special dress for the occasion. No joke. TK in a dress. Not a pirate one, people. A very schnazzy dress. From...where else? Kohl's. And it was on sale! And for how good it looked on, it should have been a sin, that price. I love Kohl's. Anyway, we were getting ourselves all purdied up and although we were quite, quite early, we decided to head out. I must say, we looked quite good in all our finery.
- I love this photo of Tink. She's beautiful and radiating I am happy and relaxed.
- Something about that Mickey head with that dress seems wrong. Very, very wrong.
And if you know where we are when these photos were taken, keep it to yourself. I'm working up the element of surprise here.
We made our way over to the bus stop, and waited...not too long, I think...for the Magic Kingdom bus. From there, we took the monorail to the Grand Floridian, but not before Tink snapped a few photos.
We did a little shop/browse and I purchased a little sumpin' for a certain DISer who shall remain nameless. You know who you are, and I was so excited when I found that for you!
I wandered (with Tink LOL) over into Basin and I must say, I loved it!!! My journal says, "Can I take half the store?" And that's honestly how I felt. At this point, I was so hungry, I didn't trust myself to shop judiciously. Not in that store. Tink and I decided we would come back another time at really get our shop on.
And just so you know that I do think of you all at random moments, I looked at the Mickey head soap and immediately thought of you, CP. I could even picture in my mind the photo you posted on your trip report of that particular souvie. Nuts, huh? I'm so visual, it's amazing what triggers me.
Now, before we'd left the hotel, we decided to put our birthday buttons on our purses. Boy, did we get lots of happy birthdays, and not just from cast members, from other guests as well!
When we were leaving Basin, the CM wished us a happy birthday, and as I thanked her, I said, don't worry, we'll be back! A prevalent theme amongst guests wishing us a happy birthday was jokingly asking us if we were 18...or turning 21...again. I just laughed. Tease all you want, people. I'm celebrating my birthday with my dearest friend who's also celebrating her birthday. My dear DIS twin, Tink. It was really a wonderful feeling.
Hunger is ruling us both at this point. We're trying our best to kill time before dinner, but we're not entirely succeeding. Apparently, a Cadbury chocolate bar, some airplane snack food, and two Pina CoLavas does not sustain us.
Back onto the monorail we head to our destination. Which I will not yet reveal.
I do have to say, we tried to kill some more time in the shops in this hotel, when we spotted something so wonderful. So amazing. So awesome that it threw me into a fit of giggles, whereupon I exclaimed, "TINK! You have to take a picture of this for Jackie and tell her that her husband needs to buy it."
CP, in light of our recent
MNSSHP convos, I find this to be absolutely hilarious.
So, know, my dear, that you were thought of not once, but twice this evening.
Eventually, we can't kill anymore time. Hunger has us in its evil grasp. We decide to take our chances and head over to the restaurant early in case we can get in.
Up Next - Where are we eating?
Happy to have you here! And thanks on the dresses! I don't get dressed up too often, and I felt pretty comfortable in that, which is saying something. It was that lovely halter style, and it went all the way to the floor. So pretty.
Looking forward to hearing about your wonderful meal. I think I may know where it is but I will wait and see if my hunch is right.
I love to get all dressed up for dinner once in awhile.
