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

[marDgreen88]

nice wrap up! I enjoyed it, as I enjoyed the whole report and look forward to your next one! have a great trip!

Thank you so much! That's so good to hear, thanks! I plan on it! I can NOT wait! Two weeks... I can do it... maybe.

I loved seeing all of your wonderful souvenir treasures! I especially love your shirt with the castle flying up with the Mickey balloons! And the pins are so cute, too. I'm seriously considering getting into pin trading but can't decide if I want to get my 1st pins & such on our trip or get some beforehand.

Oh - and you're not alone - I plan our outfits for each day when I'm packing!

And I loved your trip recap! Thank you so much for sharing your fantastic memories with us. I have truly enjoyed it! I'm already looking forward to your next one!

Aww thanks! Isn't that shirt PRECIOUS? I'm in love with it. Thank you! I want to start trading, too! I'm having the same issue! I was meaning to buy a bunch of pins to trade on eBay, but I never got around to it. I'm thinking maybe I'll buy a starter set, at least for this trip, and see what happens!

Hahaha, GOOD TO KNOW. Seriously. I'm having an internal debate about what to wear on some of these days. It's quite ridiculous.

Thank you! You're so welcome, seriously, I had such a great time writing this thing. And thank you so much for reading, and being such a great commenter!

I know what you mean! And I have to outfit plan for myself, Ed & Reid.

Thank you! You're so welcome, seriously, I had such a great time writing this thing. And thank you so much for reading, and being such a great commenter!

Awww, you're so welcome!

Great wrap up Marissa! I just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed getting to know you through your TR! You seem like such a positive and lovely person, that really comes through in the way that you describe things, and even how you comment on others' posts.

I can't wait to hear all about your next trip!

I am very sad to see your TR come to a close, but so excited that your next trip is in two weeks and I am sure you will do TSM and ToT. Just keep your eyes closed on ToT when it gets to the part where you can't tell if you are going up on down. You'll be fine.

Love all your souvies, especially your All Star Pin. I have stayed at Music, but never Movies or Sports. I have to say that I think the Hoops Hotel Section is so cute and I have always wanted to stay there. Plus I think the pool is very cool.

Thanks for the awesome recap of your trip. I LOVED it! The pictures were great and it really captured the essence of your trip.

Where are you staying on your upcoming trip and who are you traveling with? Did you mention that and did I miss it?

Anyway, looking forward to the next TR!

 

[Enchanted88]

It's officially over! NOOOOOO!! haha jk But, in all truthfulness, I have REALLY enjoyed your TR, and getting to know you!!!
You are such a funny, sweet person and I just love that there is a place that I can meet such amazing people that "get" Disney
I love all of the cool stuff you bought on your trip!! Both of your pins were so cute!! I think I might try to start pin trading this trip, but that could be a very bad thing! hahaha
I enjoyed reading your re-cap of your trip as well! Even though you had a really big low point in your trip, being sick, I think that all of the good things outweighed the bad! It seems like you had such a fantastic time and you got to expereince the most magical place with your friends!

Your upcoming trip is SO CLOSE!! I can't wait to read all about it!!
Are you all planned up for this one?? Or do you still have a lot to do?? I tend to procrastinate, myself! hahaha

have a good week!

 

[Caretames1]

What a wonderful wrap up! And if people stopped writing or reading TR's because of sickness, a whole lot of TR's would be unfinished! I think almost every TR I've read has had a "moment". Mine included. That's why we go back!


I can't wait to see your next TR,and I'm looking forward to being hit with all the pictures! Have a great time!

 

[PlutosRHM55]

Wow, over just like that! I swear I have the best timing when it comes to commenting lol Well, I'm glad to hear it was an overall great time even with the BIG negative. No fun ever getting sick in Disney I'm sorry you did end up missing a few rides, though I can't believe ToT made you black out Freaky! But you are not alone on the Dumbo ride situation, I never rode the original not knowing about Toontown's imminent closure and the FLE, so don't let it get you down too much because this crazy DisNerd has made it a huge burden upon him :/

Love all the souvenirs! I almost got the All Star pins when I stayed at ASMu when I went with school. But now, I have an AKL one (my first Disney resort) and so when I go back, I hope to find the ASMu one and a new lanyard since there is NO WAY that pin is going to fit on the one I currently have. I love the Chip and Dale limited edition one, so cute! You seem to be on your way with the pins (I suggest buying a lanyard on your next trip). And I absolutely love the Up/Cindy's Castle shirt, love that movie (no surprise)! Oh and I totes need to get a mug from Disney (non-travel mug/refillable mug) since it seems to be a trend on my last two trips this year (I got one for my dad from Quebec, he got one for my mom from the Hard Rock Cafe in NYC, etc.), it's gotta happen. I wonder if they still have the cranky Disney characters ones...

Well, I can't wait to read about more trips from you, it was lots of fun to read and getting to know you better (Love the Amanda Show reference ) And don't worry about the pictures, these were just enough along with the large amount of footage of the trip you shot. Well, I'll be sticking around here for a little while waiting for the next addition to your sure-to-be extensive series of Disney TRs.

 

[marDgreen88]

I know what you mean! And I have to outfit plan for myself, Ed & Reid.

Awww, you're so welcome!

Hahaha oh boy. At least it's fun, right? I'm like, at least I'm not planning my outfits to go to court, or something.

Thanks again!!

I just want you to know that this comment made my entire DAY! Thank you so much! I'm so glad you joined in the TR! You were such a nice commenter, and I really appreciate it!

Oh goodness, I can't wait either. I think it will be AMAZING.

I am very sad to see your TR come to a close, but so excited that your next trip is in two weeks and I am sure you will do TSM and ToT. Just keep your eyes closed on ToT when it gets to the part where you can't tell if you are going up on down. You'll be fine.

Aww, don't be sad! (Even though that's so nice! hahah) The new one will start like, immediately. The Post Disney Depression will be strong, I can already tell. Believe me, I'm planning on making TSM a priority because it is by far my favorite thing at DHS! And you may be right about Tower of Terror... there is a certain roller coaster at our local theme park (not Busch Gardens, but another park) and I have blacked out a few times on that one too. It's very odd, but maybe if I close my eyes it will help! Even though I'll feel like quite a wimp.

Thanks! I really love that pin. The Hoops section is great, that's the section we were in! I think it's really cute, and so is the Surf section. I think you'd really enjoy it!

You're very welcome! And thank you!!! I'm going with my family on this trip, and we're staying at Bay Lake Tower! I'm SO SO SO excited. AHHH.

Thanks for reading along and always leaving such nice comments! I really appreciate it.

have a good week!

Hahah, isn't it weird?!?! Aww, thank you so much! That's so sweet! I feel the same way about you!

OH I know what you mean. Right now I have only three pins, but I have a list of ones that I want to get, AND I want to start trading, which would mean having to buy other ones that I might not care as much about! Hahaha so much for a hobby. But I'll let you know what happens hah!

Thank you! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it, and you were always left such nice comments! I'm sure it goes without saying, but it means a lot!

It really is SO soon. It's crazy though, even though I know it's so soon, it still feels like it's so far away. It's weird! This month has gone by so slowly hahaha. I'm pretty much all ready with the plans, I have a few things to tweak so we can spend a good amount of time at each of the parks, but other than that I think everything's looking good! I'm mainly trying to plan around ADRs haaha.

What a wonderful wrap up! And if people stopped writing or reading TR's because of sickness, a whole lot of TR's would be unfinished! I think almost every TR I've read has had a "moment". Mine included. That's why we go back!

I can't wait to see your next TR,and I'm looking forward to being hit with all the pictures! Have a great time!

Thank you!! Hahah that's very true! Good point! Well either way, I'm very glad you stuck around and read, so thank you! I always enjoyed reading your nice comments.

Hahah, they'll hit you, alright! I'm so excited! THANK YOU!!

Hahah yup. THE END. Hahah. I'm just going to try to block the BIG negative out, because it doesn't deserve a spot in my memories hahah. Yeah, it isn't the first time that's happened to me. There's a certain roller coaster that I've ridden for years and I've blacked out a couple times on that too. I'm just a weirdo, what can I say? I mean, I'm really not too upset about missing Dumbo. It would have been nice to ride one last time with the nice view of the castle, but I just like Dumbo in general so I'll be fine.

Love all the souvenirs! I almost got the All Star pins when I stayed at ASMu when I went with school. But now, I have an AKL one (my first Disney resort) and so when I go back, I hope to find the ASMu one and a new lanyard since there is NO WAY that pin is going to fit on the one I currently have.

I wonder if they still have the cranky Disney characters ones...

Yeah, they don't make the separate pins for each All Star resorts... they just kinda lump them together! Which is why I waited to get it until I stayed at all of them! And yes, I'm planning on getting a lanyard! I actually came THIS close to getting one in December but decided against it to save money. So now I know exactly which one I want, too! I think they still do have those mugs! Are you talking about the ones where it's morning and they're all still half asleep? I'm pretty sure they still exist. You should get one! I wonder which mug I'll end up getting this time... hmmm... haha.

Well, I can't wait to read about more trips from you, it was lots of fun to read and getting to know you better (Love the Amanda Show reference ) And don't worry about the pictures, these were just enough along with the large amount of footage of the trip you shot. Well, I'll be sticking around here for a little while waiting for the next addition to your sure-to-be extensive series of Disney TRs.

Thanks Timmy! I'm glad you stuck around, your comments are always a lot of fun. Ahhh you remember the Amanda Show reference?! YAY. I need to find that on you tube hahah. Thanks for reading along, and I'm glad you'll be around for the next one, too! And I really do hope it is an extensive series of TRs, because I have way too much fun writing them.

 

[Nermel9]

Great wrap up, I can't believe your TR is over! But yay, I'm glad your trip is so soon, I can't wait for the next TR!

Ugh, when I was sick in December, I didn't want to do a TR for that trip either, but I did, and now I kind of regret it. It was a fun trip, but the TR is kind of depressing, I feel like all I did was whine throughout the whole thing! I hope you feel fantastic on your next trip, being sick in Disney is the worst!

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

I'm sad to see your TR come to an end!!!! But I definitely can't wait to hear all about your next trip!!!

I love love LOVE your Castle "Up" shirt!!! I was very tempted by that one, but didn't end up getting it!

Oh, and OF COURSE I watched the "Amanmanmanmanmanmanda showwwwwwwwwww"!!!!

Thanks girl! You know, even though it's been going on for years and years, I can't believe it either! It feels really weird! Like today I was like, "Hmm, maybe I should go ahead and write my next update. Oh wait..." Hahah but really. I honestly can't believe my trip is so soon either! I guess I better break out the tennis shoes so my feet can get used to them again hah!

Don't regret it! It wasn't all negative! Plus, I think it's really cool to be able to look back and remember every little detail. So cool. THANK YOU! I hope I feel fantastic too, haha.

Thanks for reading my TR! I always look forward to your lovely comments!

Thank you!!! Don't be sad though, the next one will be starting REALLY soon!

Thanks! I love it too! Aww, well maybe if they still have it on your next trip, you can get it then! It's really an awesome shirt, very unique and just so 'Disney' haha.

HAHAH YESSSSS! Do you remember Blockblister?! That was my absolute favorite, and I also really liked the segment where she was a super hero and she would go save the world... "EVENTUALLY!" Ah, memory lane.

Thanks so much for reading along with my TR, and always leaving such nice comments!

 

[beachphotog]

Phew, I made it all the way through!
I'm sorry that you were sick for part of your trip, I can't imagine how sad that must have made you!!!
I loved reading along with this TR and can't wait to read about your upcoming trip! I'll definitely be following you on twitter for updates!

 

[amandaw]

Hahaha oh boy. At least it's fun, right? I'm like, at least I'm not planning my outfits to go to court, or something.

You are so right. If I'm planning outfits to go to court, something is terribly wrong.

Hey girl!!! Nice to see you on here! Hahah I'm glad you made it through.

Thanks, it's alright. It was extremely sad, but I can officially put it behind me now that the TR is over!

I'm glad you did follow along! Thank you! I'm so excited about my trip... only 12 more days now!!! And I'll be posting on twitter as much as I can!

You are so right. If I'm planning outfits to go to court, something is terribly wrong.

Right?! Hahah, oh my gosh. The horror.

 

[emma212010]

I have that pink shirt!!!! Love it!

OMG I LOVE THE UP SHIRT!!!!! That is too adorable!!!!

I'm so sorry you got sick on this trip , but you pushed through and felt better for the rest of the trip! Being sick in Disney is the absolute worst, and I really hope (and believe) that your trip IN TWO WEEKS (!!!!!!!!) will be a lot better!

I'm very excited to hear about your next trip, and I've really enjoyed reading your TR! And guess what!? On your next TR, you can't say it's your first TR! You're an old pro at this now!!

Oh, and BTW I love your Amanda Show reference! I miss that show!

 

[Self_resqing_princz]

That was fun.. Thanks for sharing with us.

 

[wdwgirl03]

(Did any of you ever watch The Amanda Show? Because that reminded me of a segment they used to do on there called ‘Blockblister.’ It was hilarious! “This movie better! MUCH BETTER!!!” Anyways…)

OK, I don't know how I missed this reference but I saw all the comments about the Amanda Show. I forgot about those segments but as soon as I saw the "Blockblister" reference I can totally hear "better...MUCH BETTER!" in my head. LOL! Ohhh the Amanda Show...every once in a while my sisters and I will reference Penelope Taynt.

I feel like so many people have that shirt! I love it! We should form a pink WDW shirt club. You can be Vice President.

Thank you! I love it, too. I'm probably planning on wearing it the day I go to Disney.

Girl, I believe it too!!! Like, I WILL NOT GET SICK. It just WILL NOT HAPPEN. Believe me. If it happens, I quit.

Thanks girl! I really am so glad you found this TR! You're awesome! And you always left the sweetest comments! Hahah yes!! I am SUCH a pro now. Good grief. (KIDDING.) Haha but yeah, it's awesome to have a TR under my belt now! I'm glad I can just go straight into my next one, because I'm so used to having one now!

OMG YES. The Amanda Show was amazing!

That was fun.. Thanks for sharing with us.

Thank you and you're welcome! No, but really, thanks for reading! I really appreciate it. Hope you'll be around for the next one, too!

OK, I don't know how I missed this reference but I saw all the comments about the Amanda Show.

HAHA omg yes!!! Blockblister was my FAVORITE skit they did! It cracked me up every time. I really need to look this stuff up youtube. "I'm Amanda's number one fan please."

 

[MarieTheCat24]

I love that you went to T-Rex on your last day. It's such a fun restaurant and a great way to end a trip. I mean, you can't eat with dinos at home, right? Or maybe you can. I don't know. I'm assuming not.

Agreed about leaving Disney. It's so weird to see the green road signs again after all the purple. Every few feet it reminds me I'm no longer in my happy place. Boo.

You picked out some great souvenirs. I'm glad Disney designed the All Stars pin JUST FOR YOU.

I just about died laughing when I saw the picture of Prince Charming in your wrap up. His face should basically be covering all of our trip reports. Really.

This was a great trip report, Marissa. I can't wait for your next one!!

I mean, I used to be able to eat with dinos... however, they moved on. Got sick of me. Said they felt more alive in Florida. WHATEVER. But yeah, I was glad we decided to go there too, and it was better than having to have more fast food that day. Win-win!

It's so true! When DISers run the world, we'll have to make ALL the road signs purple.

Thank you! Hahah I know, no one thinks that's awesome, but I love it! It did feel like it was made just for me. I'm silly like that.

HAHAH omg, yes. Why doesn't he appear at least once per update? We'll have to change that!

Aww thanks so much Kara! I'm glad you liked it, and thank you for reading along and leaving your hilarious comments. It's much appreciated. I can't wait for my next one either (especially, you know, the trip part of the trip report)!
