You took the words right out of my mouth, Mel!

P.S.: THE ALIEN IS THE COOLEST! Whenever we go I insist that we sit down by the Alien!

Me, too! I love Sonny!

 

[MickeyisBeast]

[MickeyisBeast]

Update time!
So this was our LAST Sit Down meal of our vacation! By this time we felt like we couldn't eat another bite, I mean Disney REALLY fills your plates! We were soo full, I was just excited to see the characters... kind of.

So we headed over to the beautiful Grand Floridian Resort and Spa! It's sooo pretty over there! I love it!

We were about an hour early, so we decided to walk around and check the place out. My mom and I walked around the main floor while DB's and Dad went on the elevator and went to the top floor to see the view. I'm too afraid of heights/elevators to do it

We had a lot of snack credits left so once the rest of our 'party' cam back down we went to a little giftshop there and got some drinks:

And guess what DB9 spotted in the giftshop...

AHHHH! I just HAD to get it! It was too AWESOME for me not to get it!! Did I mention, I went on a shopping spree this trip? LOL :]

So I got my AWESOME Yankee/Mickey pin, it's now one of my favorite pins, and we went back to the main room to sit down and relax before our dinner.

After about 10 minutes our buzzer started buzzing, so off we went to the check-in desk! Incase you have never been to 1900 Park Fare (but you have gone to Chef Mickeys) they take your picture infront of a mural of Cinderella's castle. Just like how Chef Mickeys takes your picture infront of a Big plate that says Chef Mickeys or something.
After our picture was taken we were brought to our table. All the way in the back in a smaller room that fit about 8-10 tables. We were the second to last table back. Lucky us.

After no time at all, Prince Charming joined us:

(hehe you can see Cindy in the background)
Prince Charming asked me if I was a Princess, which of course I am! He asked Jonathan if he was a Prince, which of course he is! And he asked Joel if he was also a Prince. Here was Joel's response "No. I'm a Pirate."
*Hand on forehead*
Prince Charming continued and asked him if he was a good or a bad pirate.
Joel's response "A bad one."
*Sigh*
Incase you couldn't tell in the Prince Charming picture, Joel has his hand like how a pirate has a hook for a hand. That is sooo him. :]

Prince Charming also asked us who our favorite Disney characters were.
I said Tinkerbell
Jonathan said Mickey
Joel said Goofy
Prince Charming said "Well, I guess you know Cinderella is my favorite character!"
Haahaa :]

(I guess you can tell Joel wasn't too excited about these characters)

After Charming left Cinderella joined us.

Here was our conversation:
"Oh look! You are wearing blue, just like me!" *she points at my shirt*
"Cool!" (I wanted to say, "No, you are wearing blue, just like ME!" but I held it in!)
And DB's conversation:
Cindy: "Would you like a portrait with me?"
DB11: "uhh... I guess"
Cindy: "How about your brother?"
DB11: "I dont know."
Cindy: "Do you want a portrait?" *points at Joel*
DB9: "UGHHHH, fine*

Bye-Bye Cindy.

Then we left to get some food!

And for desert:
Ice cream!

Soon Drizella came over.

Haha, my brothers were kind of hesistant around her!

Conversation:
Drizella: *points to DB's* "You two are kind of cute"
DB11: *his face totally says 'freak!'*
DB9: *SIGH*
Drizella: "How old are you?''
DB11: ''11''
DB9: ''9''
Drizella: "Oh thats way too young for me. Maybe next year!"

Drizella: "So, do you want a portrait with me?! Well, of course you do!''

Bye-bye Dreadful Drizella!

Who came next? Anastasia of course!
Her and her insanely high pitched voice!

Conversation
Anastasia: "Hi!"
Me: "Hi''
Anastasia: "Who are you?"
Me: "Sara"
Anastasia: "Okay! I would introduce myself, but I know you know who I am!"
Me: *roles eyes*
Anastasia: "Who are you?"
DB11: "Jonathan"
Anastasia: "That's nice"
Anastasia: "And who are you?"
DB9: "UGHHHH Joel"
Anastasia: "That's nice, you know who I am, right?"
Anastasia: "Well of course yo---"
DB9: "No."
Anastastia: "You're just kidding, I can tell!" *laugh*
DB9: *eye roll*

And last but not least, Lady Tremaine!

Truth be told, I have no idea what she said to us and what we replied with. I guess it wasn't that important.

So, I guess you are wondering what the second half of this title is about. Well, I didn't want to include it above, it needs to have it's own little section.
Let's get this mini story started!
Like I said, we sat at the second to last table.
Well, the people behind us were so loud and obnoxious.
Every time one of the stepsisters walked by they would start yelling and screaming to them, trying to make some "inside jokes" with the stepsisters. Well, if that isn't bad enough, the stepsisters are trying to interact with OTHER tables. These people apparently need to realize, the world does not revolve around them. Well, it got even worse while Anastasia was talking with us, these people were trying to get her to come over there. I was thinking "Would you people shut it, she is clearly talking to us, just give her two minutes and she'll be over there!" But no, they can't wait two minutes.
After a little while CM's started coming over to them asking them if there was anything else they needed. And eventually the Manager came over and asked them if they needed anything. You could clearly tell they were trying to get them out of there! They were just sitting there, plates empty, trying to get the stepsisters attention. Finally, they left. Thank Goodness!

Okay, Mini story complete!

Up next:
Our Grand exit and some... hats??

 

[longing2Batdisney]

Sorry I'm so late for the ride...but I'm buckeling up for the read
will be back later after I catch up!!!
GrEaT START!!! so far!

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

Sara, this is your best update yet! I LOL'd at your brother saying he was a pirate. I wondered what that little crooked finger meant in the picture, then read your description. As a matter of fact, I'm still giggling a little bit over it! Boys will be boys, won't they???? LOL!

Boo to the rude people behind you! Even in Disney, there are those type of people who just can't seem to "wait their turn" and be patient. Where is their respect? Ugh. I can't even go there.

Hey, Connie! Glad you came over. Sara is an awesome story-teller, huh?

 

[aaaateamsgrandma]

Sara, this update was Greattttttttttttt. Like Mel, looking at the pic of little bro trying to decide what is wrong with his finger. Totally funny. We had rude people at Hollywood and Vine too. They couldn't leave fast enough in my opinion.

So sad your trip is almost over. It went way too fast.

 

[minnie4eva]

great update Sara! so sad it's almost to the end of your tr

 

[DevonsDisneyMom]

Great update Sara!!! You gpt the Yankee's Mickey pin at the GF??? My DS will love that, the Yankee's are his 2nd favorite team behind the Phillies!! We actually rode up to Yankee Stadium last year for a game!! Good times! Glad you had a good time at 1900 Park Fare, we went to the breakfast in December and are trying the dinner next month. I am asking the hostess to be seated in the main dinning hall when I check in. I think the atmosphere is better in there!

 

[dancer067]

Great Update! We will be eating with Cinderella, Stepsisters, Prince Charming, and Stepmother so It's good to hear of your experiences. I heard that they are funny so I'm excited to eat there. Sorry about the annoying family near you guys. Hopefully we'll sit near a quieter family. But love the update!!! Can't wait for more!

 

[MickeyisBeast]

Hey, Connie! Glad you came over. Sara is an awesome story-teller, huh?

Haha! I LOL'd after reading your comment, I knew it was a good thing I explained why his finger was like that!

Exactly! It's the happiest place on Earth, why be obnoxious and rude?!

Thanks! I LOL'd after reading your post too! After I re-read my update I realized I should explain why DB9's finger was like that! Rude people are just the worst, aren't they? I'm sorry you also had to put up with some rude ones.

Yeah, it really did go wayyyy too fast!

great update Sara! so sad it's almost to the end of your tr

Thank You! Yeah, time flies!

Great update Sara!!! You gpt the Yankee's Mickey pin at the GF??? My DS will love that, the Yankee's are his 2nd favorite team behind the Phillies!!

LOL! That's cool you've visited YS! My DB11 has to keep my updated with the Yanks, they're playing Boston right now *ugh*

Haha, I just went over to check the score, Yankees 10 Boston 1, I had to laugh at that!

I totally suggest asking to sit in the main dinning room! The atmosphere should be better there!

Great Update! We will be eating with Cinderella, Stepsisters, Prince Charming, and Stepmother so It's good to hear of your experiences. I heard that they are funny so I'm excited to eat there.

Thanks!! The Stepsisters are super funny, I love how they make those faces for the pictures!

I hope you are seated by a quieter/more respectful family also!

Well! Sara I have just caught up!! you have done an excellant job on your report.
It has been very enlightening traveling w/you and your family through Disney!!!
You have done a great job with your resturant review!!! I agree with one of the PP that I can't believe your parents did not request a new room. But, at least it was finally repaired! Thanks for sharing your trip with us!!!

Thank you!
I think it would've been too much of a hassle to move all of our stuff to a different room, plus it was just a tile, nothing serious. It was fixed quickly. No worries :] Plus, we really didn't want to lose our amazing view!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

GREAT REASONS!!

and the view was awesome from the pictures!!

Another update!

I had totally forgotten about our trip to MK after 1900 Park Fare, so now instead of us leaving the parks, we are Grandfully leaving the GRANDFloridian!


SOOOO... after our experience at 1900 Park Fare, we took our own little
self-guided tour of the place.

Here is a picture I took from the balcony of the second floor:

And here's me...

And Jonathan...

After a little while we GRANDfully exited the GRANDFloridian Resort and Spa!

And made a quick decision to hop out of the monorail and into the Magic Kingdom!

We watched a few minutes of the Spectromagic parade (I took a few pictures)

My dad and Joel decided to go ride POTC while my mom, Jonathan, and I went shopping for gifts for family members!
We got a blue hat and blue candy for some cousins, we got Mickey cups filled with candy for other cousins, we got a cell phone charm for an aunt, and so on and so on!

When my dad and Joel finally met up with us again, we went off to ride Peter Pan (we had Fast Passes, of course!) We got right on and enjoyed the ride...

After seeing Peter, Wendy, Tinkerbell, and Captain Hook, all in miniture size, well except Tink, We decided to ride Splash Mountain! One of my favorite rides! We didn't have Fast Passes, so we just walked into the standby line, but wait! There was NO standby line! We got right into our log and took off! Joel was sitting inbetween my parents in the row infront of us because he doesn't really like the big drop, but he was going to face his fears and ride Splash Mountain with his family. Jonathan and Me, the ones who ride practically anything, were sitting behind them EXCITED! That's when I remembered... I didn't want to get wet. So I told my mom to give Jonathan and me our rain ponchos. She did and Jonathan and me put them over us. Aren't we SMART!?

FYI, it was late at night, it wasn't hot nor humid, so getting wet wouldn't help one bit of anything!

So, we went through the little cartoon scenes and then came to the huge huge huge huge hill... up and up we went... with the birds up there telling us we were going to die (isn't that just great?!) and then we FLEW down the hill! Everyone was screaming, but Jonathan and me knew better, we were too focused on making silly faces for the camera, haahaa! Then... as we were turning around, Jonathan and I glanced at each other real quick and pulled our rain ponchos over us... waiting for the boost of water to hit us... we could hear my family saying "no, no, go faster... don't hit us!" then...

BAM!

We were smacked with water... yet Jonathan and me were (mostly) dry. Haahaa!

Once we were out and into the opening, we could see the fireworks, right above us! How cool!

After Splash Mountain the fireworks were still going on so we all decided to head over to POTC and ride together. Again, we got right on and nobody else was in our boat/log/whatever it is.

In the gift shop my brothers tried on some Jack Sparrow hats:

(Told you he was a Pirate!)

After that, we headed back to the Polynesian, our last night in our 'home' at Disney World :[

Up Next
Our Real Grand Exit, this time from the World PART ONE

 

[dancer067]

Great Update! Spectromagic Parade looks so much fun! Smart thinking wearing the rain ponchos! Personally I love the ride part of water rides, but I don't like getting all wet, unless its a super hot day. I might have to buy rain ponchos just for that!

You took the words right out of my mouth, Mel!

P.S.: THE ALIEN IS THE COOLEST! Whenever we go I insist that we sit down by the Alien!

Alien!!! Do either of you have pictures of the Alien I'll have to find it on the web. Now I have to see it I'm curious! Next time we go we'll have to try Cosmic Ray's and Ohana's looks like alot of fun Everytime we went, we never saw a nightime parade, Don't know why Your pictures of the parade came out really good (pretty) Nice update can't wait for the rest, I know you started school today so i'll wait patiently
