Hey Jess! Hope school is still going well for you. I have a Disney question and it doesn't really pertain to your TR but you are my Disney-Know-All-Goddess so I figured you would oblige At Disney, especially at the photo kiosks, is there any computers that are for the public to use where you can download your pics from the day on your camera or card onto a scan disk? This would save us from having to lug our laptop with us on our next trip. Thanks in advance for any info you may have

It was really beautiful! Thank you!
Well it was a main focus on the face for that animal... VERY wide eyes and jerking head movements where I look somewhere and just stare. I had to be nervous and skiddish. And I also pretended to eat some grass.
​

That is so funny!

Hi Jess! I am so glad I found your recent TR! I loved reading your other reports. Congrats on moving schools and following your heart!

I LOVE THAT CASTLE SHOW! It's so precious! My favorite part is the Nutcracker segment, hilarious and adorable.

 

[basketkat]

I love Nutcracker Mickey!!! I daughter dances in the Nutcracker every year...so it holds a special place in my heart! Add it together with my favorite mouse....ahh...perfection!

 

[Kelliroo3]

The castle show looks like such fun! I love how the castle looks at Christmas time. Gorgeous. Stunning.

This is all your first day, right? Wow! You two were super busy!

I liked Mickeys nutcracker outfit. I want him to do a meet and greet in that (but without the hat, I think).
Lots of cute pics. I'm happy that you have so much report left to do! Take your time, I know that you are a busy student!

Jess:

You have a way of making those of us who are following along feel as though we are there. As a Father, I am happy you are spending so much time in school and doing well but as a reader on the Dis, I wish you would post more often on these trip reports! I love the pictures and the commentary is very cute. Keep it up and don't keep us waiting! (But don't put necessary school work aside to do it either

Take Care!

 

[cindianne320]

I can't wait to find out how you transferred your things to your new resort! It must have been a crazy night!

 

[petals]

Love your pictures from the Christmas Castle show

 

[nannye]

I LOVE that castle pics!!!

 

[katt789]

I love the updates! The Christmas show is super cute, I thouroughly enjoy it (although the halloween one still wins for me ) One thing I couldn't imagine was having to be decked out in all that warm winter clothing in the Orlando heat, not to mention dancing, and being under those lights, I'd die!

I'm a little late but I'm here and subscribing! LOVE Disney at Christmas! Congrats on figuring out your major and switching schools...college can be hard having to find a balance of classes, work, and figuring out life in general. We live a few minutes from our alma mater and we have college students in our house on a weekly basis...you are not alone...they are discovering all the same things you are.

Since you have a love for theatre and Disney...have you ever seen The Happiest Millionaire? Probably one of my all time favorite Disney movies. If you haven't track down a copy...

The castle was beautiful! I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures! And yeah I would love to meet the talking mickey... even though it would probably freak me out haha

Thank you! It is going really well I'm super happy!
I don't think that they have photo kiosks like that, unfortunately That would be a really good thing to have though.

Hi Jess! I am so glad I found your recent TR! I loved reading your other reports. Congrats on moving schools and following your heart!

Welcome to the newest trip report! I'm really glad you have enjoyed the other ones! And thank you! I'm SO happy I did this - it's working out SO well!

This looks like a really nice show, but I just love how still photos can make things look funny out of context.

BAHAHA but seriously.
Woo, Wolfy is craaaazy
Hahaha I love Pluto!
And aww I love that picture it's beautiful!

I LOVE THAT CASTLE SHOW! It's so precious! My favorite part is the Nutcracker segment, hilarious and adorable.

I know, right!? Aww that's so adorable! I totally understand that - I have seen the Nutcracker production many times and I absolutely love it! It's so cute! I never got to be in it but I always loved watching!

The castle show looks like such fun! I love how the castle looks at Christmas time. Gorgeous. Stunning.

This is all your first day, right? Wow! You two were super busy!

It really is! I love it so much!
Yes, this is only the first day. I KNOW we did so much! It was crazy!

I liked Mickeys nutcracker outfit. I want him to do a meet and greet in that (but without the hat, I think).
Lots of cute pics. I'm happy that you have so much report left to do! Take your time, I know that you are a busy student!

Thank you! I agree - it was adorable! I haven't seen the Halloween show, I bet it's awesome too! Haha I know, right? It wasn't super super warm at that time of night so they were probably okay!

It's never too late to join in! Thank you for reading!
Thank you so much - it definitely is hard to find a balance but things have been working out so far! I am SO happy I transferred! It's all working out perfectly! And that's good to hear that those kids are going through the same thing!

I have not seen that movie! I will have to make a note to watch it! ​

 

[TinkerBrig]

Hey! I'm in! I have read all of your other trip reports and LOVED them! I can't wait to read more!

 

[Caretames1]

All caught up! LOVE, LOVE the Castle show photos! I especially think the firework ones are my favorite.

Our next trip will be during MVMCP so I can not wait to see it in person!

 

[hollisterluva92]

Love the room! I especially love the blanket! My room is right about the same size as yours, and my roommate and I are going to bunk our beds next year so that we can have the other half of the room to do with what we want!

 

[__disneygirl]

Hey Jess!! I hope you & your family are doing well and you're still loving college. I LOVE your dorm room. Parts of it look like a child's room due to all the Disney which is obviously what I love about it most. Haha! I mean, I'm 21 years old and I just hung up a Tangled poster in my room so ya know.

AHH your castle pictures are SO stunning! I miss it so much! I probably won't be back to Disney during the holidays for a long time and I'm really going to miss seeing the castle dream lights.

I totally agree, I got so many pictures with the character's eyes closed and it was so annoying!

"Mickey is making the Deer Face AND there are Deer in the background!!! Perfection." I...can't breathe.

That show looks AMAZING. I'm sad I missed it! I usually skip the castle shows too but I'm in love with Dream Along With Mickey after our last trip and I'll never miss one again. TOO CUTE! Was the Christmas one just a holiday version of Dream Along With Mickey or was it a whole different show?

I hope you update again soon! I just finally updated mine after weeks, I hate when life gets crazy and I have less time for obsessing over Disney. sigh!
