It's seriously the saddest thing I have ever heard!!! As for the long day I figured I owed it to everyone in the world who was wishing that they were in Disney and weren't haha.​
 
I am following along! And I also wanted to say hi since I am doing the College Program this fall too :goodvibes!!!
 

We can't wait to read the rest of both of your Trip Reports. Congratulations to you two on the Engagement, that’s so exciting! I don’t know if they carry them anymore but a few trips ago I too was in dire needs of pants; the Island Supply store in Adventureland had jeans at it, I ended up getting a pair for the low low price of $60 dollars. So if youre ever in a pants debacle at the MK again try there.

Thank you :lovestruc and about that other trip report... I should really start up with that one again haha most of the updates are complete I just have to post them. Adventureland!!! Why didn't I think of that?!? I know exactly what store you are talking about too. Totally slipped my mind while I was there. Mental note made for the future :lmao:
 
Meet My Best Friend and My Worst Enemy...
March 5, 2012

We arose the next more at the crack of 7 am. Well I did anyways; Andy enjoys his sleep far too much to ever wake up when I do. I showered and get ready and then woke him up.

I decided it was time for some door pictures!!! Which we only did once the entire trip. Fail.

Cute Andy…

Rockin’ the early 80’s Disney sweater.

IMG_6654.jpg


According to this picture we left at exactly 8:02.

IMG_6656.jpg


Not too shabby!!! Park opens at 9 we were making good time and weren’t dragging too much considering the lack of sleep we were running on.

We said goodbye to the many friends who joined us on this trip as we dashed out the door

IMG_6655.jpg


This was the view from our door.

IMG_6657.jpg


Not exactly Toy Story but I guess we were going to have to deal. We had originally gotten up early to go to the desk and ask for a room change but we never did. I figured it was probably a waste of time.

Happy peppy people!!!

IMG_6658.jpg


We headed to the food court so that we could get our money’s worth of the mug

IMG_6659.jpg


Everything in Disney is perfect and adorable and I want all of it!!! Even the less than pristine carpet.

Drink of the day was some blue powerade

IMG_6660.jpg


I remember laughing because just as I was about to take the picture the lady was going to turn around… awkward.

Next stop…

IMG_6661.jpg


Not the ESPN Complex I’ll give you that hint. We got on the bus at exactly 8:13 and arrived at 8:26. I always thought that the All Stars were in the middle of nowhere and took a million years to get to. I was very happily surprised when that was not the case. I think the longest ride we had was 30 minutes at the very most.

MY FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WORLD INSIDE THE WORLD!!!

IMG_6663.jpg


Cue the magical music and tears.

IMG_6664.jpg


We made it through baggage check and hopped in line we figured that we had a good 30 minute wait so I decided to put on some sun screen.

I don’t know if I have mentioned yet that I am currently in Little Women at school and shortly after we booked the trip I received an email saying that spring break was NOT to include tanning of any sort. So I stocked up on SPF 100 because with my native American background and being in Florida “retaining my pasty completion” as they called it was not going to be easy. So I decided to make a game of it and take videos and pictures whenever I put on the sunscreen so I could prove to them when I got back that I did.

IMG_6665.jpg


Unhappiness and sadness all around.

IMG_6666.jpg


That’s a nice glob there

IMG_6668.jpg


Perusal Andy got so much pleasure out of my pain and misfortune. I have never ever really worn sunscreen in my life let a lone SPF 100. Boy was that stuff thick. I could feel my pores clogging. The worst part was I COULD HAVE BEEN SO TAN!!!

IMG_6669.jpg


Enough torture lets look at the crowds for rope drop.

IMG_6671.jpg


Not too bad. Before we knew it we were being let in. I was so confused we literally just got there. I barely had time to apply my beloved sunscreen!!! Oh well, the park opened 20 minutes early what a treat!!!

I was so confused but before I could even blink we were through the line and headed for Toy Story Mania with just about everyone else in the park.

IMG_6672.jpg


I remember thinking “oh my god I am going to die!!! Wait a minute, no, no I’m not I can move side to side I am not being trampled this is nowhere near as terrifying as it was in August!!! Let’s only ever come during off season.”

Look Ma so much room to breathe!!!

IMG_6673.jpg


It is literally a ghost town!!!

IMG_6674.jpg


We got our fastpasses after waiting 2.5 seconds and then hopped in the standby line

IMG_6680.jpg


The only time we stopped between the entrance and the boarding for the ride was when people needed to stop to photograph Mr. Potato head.

IMG_6682.jpg


I could get use to this!!!

We got up to the front of the line in no time. Bo Peep I LOVE YOU!!!

IMG_6685.jpg


Our chariot arrived and we were off into the Mania of the Midway

IMG_6686.jpg


Final scores…

IMG_6688.jpg


I lost. It was decided that I start out strong and slowly burn out. I consistently stay ahead of Andy for the first 3 rounds but then my arm gives out before I have time to really beat him.

We knocked out the biggest thing within the first 15 minutes of being in the park AND we had fastpasses to go on it again within the hour!!! Toto I don’t think were on a vacation in August anymore…

Whatever would we do next with all the time left in the day?!?


Tune In Next Time!!!
 
I am doing Fall what about you? And I also noticed you fly out of Buffalo I am from upstate NY too!

I'm doing regular fall as well!!! Costuming for me how about you?! I saw from your location that you were from NY and I got so excited!!! haha. I live in the Buffalo area but go to school in Niagara Falls.

Photopass sounds like so much fun!!! Two of my roommates are doing that. I actually think we move in the same day... August 15th?!
 
AHHHHH!!! Thanks for joining in Jess :goodvibes If we were in the same grad e people would go CRAZY. I am glad to know that the Disney legacy will remain at school once I am gone. I mean, we are basically the same person and I still can't get over it. Awww thanks, I am so lucky to have him :lovestruc he is really the best ever especially because he (can usually) handle my crazy obsession. You and Sean should come visit me while I am doing the CP because I can get you discounts and it would be amazing to have a Disney trip with the two of you!!! lol I heard you are both planning on doing the CP next spring?!? How exciting.​

You're welcome! I'm glad I am finally getting a chance to catch up here!

And YEAHH they would. I honestly don't think they would be able to handle it. :rotfl: Oh yes, the Disney legacy will be left in good hands here at the theatre department. :laughing: Don't you even worry! And we seriously are the same person I love it!!

OH MY GOD SEAN AND I SHOULD TOTALLY COME VISIT YOU IN THE FALL! Omg Alicia you're ridiculously brilliant. I am going to have to talk to him about that! :goodvibes And yes, we're thinking about it! I still can't decide if I want to go during school or wait until after like you're doing. UGH it's such a hard decision. But I am going to wait to hear feedback from Bobby and from you on your different experiences and then I'll make my decision. I still have some time!

-------

Alright time to catch up now! Basically from the beginning lol

I HATE THE YELLOW BUSSES. I'm sorry you got put on one of those. :rolleyes:

LOL oh these vinylmations. I literally just bid on a cheap one on ebay to see if I could get it. You're making this idea sound really fun :laughing:

I absolutely love that 80's video of space mountain :rotfl: It's so old and SO incredibly frumpy. I'm glad they kept it haha

AWWW YAY FOR MEETING UP WITH BOBBY! Being in Disney with someone who loves it just as much as you do is seriously the best feeling in the world!

Wait... like... a real guy in pirates of the caribbean? Do you really think it's george!? I need to keep an eye out for that to see if I see it too!

Okay so I just got distracted with the fact that I want to come visit you in Disney in August. Sooo I will finish reading this in a little bit!
 
Okay, I'm back again!

OH MY GOSH THAT STORY ABOUT THE WISHES GIRL IS SO SAD. Oh my God. I want to cry. That's so sad but so beautiful. :sad1:

I just want to work at Disney so I can learn all of this stuff for myself.

Wow, I can't believe you managed to stay awake that long! I would not have made it that long!

Like I said.... I LOVE that Minnie Mouse sweatshirt. Actually, your whole outfit is perfect. LOVE IT!

Good job with your sunscreen! I'm so proud.

YAY I can't wait for the next update! I LOVE THIS TRIP REPORT!
 
your posts make me very emotional! just thought you should know! hehe I am a crier in disney, too! Great update! xo
 
Then Bobby told me the SADDEST story ever. The little girl who sings wishes was a Make- A-Wish child who’s dream was to sing at one of the Disney Fireworks shows, so they let her record it but before she ever got to see it she passed away.​

Omigosh! That's the saddest story ever! I am like literally crying right now! Now whenever I hear that song I'm gonna burst into tears!:sad1:


Also, I LOVE that blanket! I got mine in February and I use it ALL the time! great purchase:D
 
What a great report! Keep it up :)

Thank you very much!!! I'm glad you are enjoying it :)

I KNOW!!! So sad :sad1:

The blanket is perfect and the night that I bought it and walked around in it there were tons of people who did the same thing so Disney is definitely making out with that haha.​

your posts make me very emotional! just thought you should know! hehe I am a crier in disney, too! Great update! xo

Oh no, I hope in a good way? You know you love Disney when you can read someone else's trip report and tear up a little. I'm totally guilty of that.​

Okay, I'm back again!

YAY I can't wait for the next update! I LOVE THIS TRIP REPORT!

I know me too!!! 124 days :scared1:

I was determined to stay awake. Let me just tell you my eyes regretted it the ENTIRE trip. They never really got better until 2 days after we got back. So most of the pictures from here on out have me with sunglasses on lol.​

OH MY GOD SEAN AND I SHOULD TOTALLY COME VISIT YOU IN THE FALL! Omg Alicia you're ridiculously brilliant.

LOL oh these vinylmations. I literally just bid on a cheap one on ebay to see if I could get it. You're making this idea sound really fun :laughing:

Please do!!! I hope that you enjoy vinylmation trading and that I didn't hype it up too much :lmao:
 
Oh no, I hope in a good way? You know you love Disney when you can read someone else's trip report and tear up a little. I'm totally guilty of that.​



Totally in a good way! your excitement is contagious!!
