"You Guys Are Cast Members... Right?" - A December 2011 TR

[JessicaFaye508]

Wow, 4 parks in one day! That's crazy! I actually have never done that before! (which is crazy, I know. You would think that I'm insane enough to do that haha)

WOWWW that 2nd picture you have of Holiday IllumiNations is PHENOMENAL!

Oh geez, sickness in Disney!? That can't be good

 

[PirateKate]

Oh, no! I hate Disney December sickness! That year that Carter threw up in the car all ten hours home still haunts me.

I love the holiday ending of Illuminations! It's well worth the trip over to Epcot just to see it. Great pictures!

Hahaha yep, we're pretty crazy. We definitely didn't even plan it! I'm glad we did it because it ended up being wonderful, you should do it someday!

Aww, thanks!!! All those photos are actually taken out of the video I took at IllumiNations!

Yeah... it really wasn't good. BUT, it was nothing we would let ruin the trip!

Oh I know, that was so sad! Sickness in Disney (or ever!) is always so sad.

The holiday ending is just unbelievable. I totally agree! I was so glad we went! THANK YOU!

Hello friendsies! I just wanted to know... has anyone else been experiencing complete weirdness from the Dis yesterday and today? It didn't allow me to log on or anything last night. Today it says that people HAVE updated but their updates are invisible, or something. I was going to update last night but couldn't, and now I want to hold off until the Dis stops being wonky. Just wanted to let you know that I'll be back with a new update ASAP. AND I will read all your lovely TR updates as soon as the Dis lets me. Thanks for understanding! Have a wonderful evening. ​

Hi Marissa! I'm finally ALLLLLLLL caught up on your TR. And let me just say, I think we were separated at birth. Not only do we share the same exuberance for every detail of the Disney experience, but I love any girl who can appreciate the NSYNC classic "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays." Do you remember the fantastic matching sweaters in the video?

But back to your TR... Four parks in one day?!?? Seriously, I bow down to you guys. That takes some serious stamina, especially with the short winter hours.

I loved your Fantasmic recap, could you come do commentary the next time I go see the show? And I finally saw Illuminations for the first time on this last trip and I finally get what everyone has been raving about. It is truly a majestic show, so different from anything else Disney does. Can't wait to see it again!

Holy Goodness I am so incredibly and embarrassingly far behind in EVERYONE'S TRs!!!!! I've been so busy with school- 18 days left!

Well, anyway, I am taking each TR one at a time- slow and steady wins the race...right?? Orrrrr maybe I just become further behind!

I even took notes for this! So here we go!

First off, YAY for a new trip!!!!! Almost double digit dancing time!! Aww, I love family time in Disney. Although touring with friends is a lot of fun too!

WOWZERS! All 4 parks in 1 day?! I am officially jealous of your stamina! That is just amazing!

I totally agree with the wonderous (spelling?) Spaceship Earth!! I just LOVE it! So photogenic and beautiful ALL of the time! <3

OMG I love Illuminations!!! It's just so pretty! Ok, I NEED to go for Christmas again because those Holiday fireworks are just spectacular!

Ahh, the infamous chanting Brazilian tour groups... I totally feel you there on the whole drawing attention to yourself thing! It's so frustrating! When my foreign language club and I was preparing to travel overseas to France and Spain in high school we were debriefed on how to behave and what to wear. We were definitely told to not look like tourists! I think the Brazilians need a lesson in proper touring behavior too (i.e., NOT CHANTING AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS)! I'm sorry, I've finished my ranting.

Oh no!! I hope your friend feels better in the morning!! Being sick in Disney is the absolute WORST!!

Can't wait to read more, and I'll try my hardest not to get behind anymore!

The DIS is driving me insane! I had posted on someone's TR last night & when I went back on it to read an update today, my post was gone! I don't know what's going on. I just did an update on my PTR & it would let change the size of the font but not the color.

Hi!!! I'm late joining in but I've caught up!! Loving your TR so far!!! It really makes me want to go at Christmas time! Also, I saw your twitter info and followed you! That sounds really creepy... but I mean it in the best way possible

 

[PopArtGal]

It was the second time I saw Titanic at the theater (Last time I was in high school), and I think the 3D is really worth it.

 

[MEK]

All caught up - I think!

I really enjoyed your Illuminations pictures. I did not know that the Holiday Illuminations had a different ending. Bummer. I am so sorry I missed it this past December. Oh well. I only had 4 real nights to see the parks. Can't do everything.

Congrats on 4 parks in 1 day! That's pretty impressive. I agree with you - I wish they would open the parks later in mid December!

 

[PopArtGal]

I also think the effects they added with the hitchhicking ghosts is amazing. I can't wait to see it again!

 

[PopArtGal]

The kitchen sink is out of the question for me... especially because of my nut allergies.

 

[PopArtGal]

Seems like your trip is just a little bit after mine. I'll be there July 15 to 25.

 

[PopArtGal]

It was our first time at the Crystal Palace too during our last trip. And let's just say that this reservation has been made for our next trip for a while hehe

 

[PopArtGal]

I'm sure you'll enjoy Bay Lake Tower. We have stayed at the CR 3 times and we can't bring ourselves to stay anywhere else. It's that great to us.

 

[PopArtGal]

The dream along show is really fun. I think it's time for a change, but with all of this said.... my mom and I still dance in front of the castle while watching the show. People are too stiff... it's a castle party... dance!

 

[TeresaNJ]

Congrats on staying at BLT in July! We stayed in a 2BR there back in December of 2009. We had a Bay Lake view, which I loved. Here are a few pics from our trip.

 

[cutejellybeen]

HI - I just read through all your report in one reading and I wanted to say that your trip looks awesome!! I am eagerly awaiting the next instalment!

 

[PopArtGal]

I know what you mean about crying. I cry when I'm happy and I cry when I'm sad. So I tend to get teary at wdw too hehe

 

[PlutosRHM55]

All caught up, WOOT! Sorry I haven't been commenting lately Marissa. As I told you on Twitter, something weird happened on my subscription list, but anyways I'm back on track! Great updates so far and it sounds like you had a VERY productive trip. 4 parks in one day? Like... I think I nearly made it to that on my last trip (DTD, DHS and MK in one day, as well as various resorts lol) But that's epic right there! Gotta give you huge props there! And I don't know if I mentioned this the last time I commented but I LOVE your videos! You may not edit them, but it's nice to see your day through and through non-stop. These are the reasons why I need a camcorder

Well, can't wait to read more!
