I NEED TO VISIT THE BEACH CLUB AT CHRISTMASTIME. Seriously, the smell of the resort + gingerbread = heaven.
Ok, seriously, I need to find a guy who gives me free food, especially a guy from World Showcase. Maybe one from Canada who steals some cheddar cheese soup from the Le Cellier kitchen and gives it to me. Wow, sounds like a crazy night in Germany!

DTD is so awesome at night! I love going there at that time. I've never been down in the entertainment district though. I'll have to make note of that to check it out on my next trip. Can't wait to hear about your experience there though lol And I would totally love to join this Stacey Fan Club of which you speak though I don't think I'm as truly devoted as you, Kara or Jess so... I'll just be all wham over here by meself.
Oh the Beach Club... why you must be so so so pretty?!?! I'm really regretting the fact on my first trip I picked AKL over that place, but then again, I love that place. Again, CONFLICTING FEELINGS!! But I love those Gingerbread creations. Disney, why do you have to be so awesome? And why am I asking that question?! slfjosbvaohgahibighagoaghaoghaghaoghaobgiagaogh *ahem* YAY! World Showcase! I swear you should start scripting this TR for a Disney World TV sitcom for teens or something. Seriously, this stuff is GOLDEN! Not to exploit frumpiness or anything, but seriously: The world must know! lol Anyways, awesome to hear you ran into another one of your "WS boyfriends". Boston... trololol. Boy, is he OFF?! Not even close. But good thing you played along or no free hummus! I wonder if any of the WS girls are this nice, I may have to shut off the snark for a moment then LOL @ the German guys in Karmel Kuchel, though I'm still not entirely sure of the validity of this, but still the world must know of this gold ![]() Can't wait to read about another of your late night MK marathons!

I'm sorry I missed your single digit dance, but I think today would be the one week dance, right?
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You are going to love the Food and Wine festival and MNSSHP! I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to see your costume!! ![]() I love DTD at night, but I never go to the West Side either! I love that picture, it totally reminds me of Stacey!! Did you hear how they are doing soft openings of Fantasyland right now? I've been stalking the thread on the Theme Parks board of people who have gotten to go in, and some people have said that it's been closed at certain times for photographers and to film things...and I was wondering...is STACEY there? Is she filming new awesomeness for Fantasyland as we speak? OMG I HOPE SO!!!! ![]() Your Beach Club Christmas pictures almost made me cry! The Beach Club all decorated for the holidays is SO perfect, I'm going to have to find a way to visit during my trip! I love it there so much! Awww, women selling you wine, that's no fun! I'm glad you were rewarded by walking into Karamel Kuche and having German men fight over you, sounds like perfect night in the World Showcase!

ONE WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IN 7 SHORT DAYS LEE-ANNE AND I WILL BE AT WALT DISNEY WORLD!!!! AHHH!!!!!! Quote:
I know, I try to go every year, but it hasn't worked out since 2008!!! I can't wait to finally be there again!! "I often run out of ways to describe my TSM experiences too. They do normally end in tears though, because I'm wiping the floor with someone." hahahah AWWWWYEAH. I completely know this experience. If you and I went head to head it would be a DEATHMATCH!! A lot of people don't love Stacey. I DON'T GET IT EITHER. It was a word for word portrayal. I wrote it all down seconds later!!!! Quote:
Well if you want to work there I'm sure it will happen because Disney and you just agree with each other!!! ![]() Quote:
You just described my perfect man. I can't even talk about it. Quote:
Don't regret AKL! AKL is amazing too! They are both perfect in their own ways. That's the great thing about Disney: wherever you end up, whatever you end up doing... it's gonna be perfect. "Not to exploit frumpiness or anything" LOL. Trust me... if I have my way, many of my frumpy adventures, Disney or not, will make their way into a screenplay or two someday! Just you wait and see. ![]() Thanks Timmy!! Quote:
"Love" is an understatement. The Food & Wine Festival and I have a bond deeper than love. I really can not explain it. LOL. And I just know MNSSHP is gonna be perfect too... the only thing I'm scared of is RAIN I can deal with a spell of it here and there but I have a big fear of it raining all night and them canceling things and my soul can not handle that!!! I will die!!!OMG I have been avoiding all the Fantasyland stuff cause I just want to experience it in person... but I REALLY HOPE STACEY IS THERE!!! OMG. Imagine if she is there when I am there and I see that flawless woman. I will get down on my knees and kiss her feet. Ahh I know! I wish I was going during the holidays again, but it's just not in the cards. I'm going to miss Christmas at Disney! It was absolutely lovely! You never know what's gonna happen when I am set loose in the World Showcase!!!! lol.

The Beach Club during the holidays pretty much encompasses everything that is wonderful about the holidays. I love the giant gingerbread creations there, they smell so good!
LOL you really do meet the best CM's in WS. Free hummus is definitely a good snack!

AHHH so you were at the Beach Club like THE NIGHT BEFORE ME! Wait that isn't true. I was there the 14th. Whatever, none of this is actually important? BUT, that's the only time I've ever been to the Beach Club! I've never smelled the normal wonderful smell, but dang did that gingerbread smell amazing!!!
![]() I want some free hummus! I don't remember if I like hummus or not, so what better way to find out? That was a very interesting story. Bravo.

I know, I don't know what I did to deserve such luck! Quote:
Oh girl. I am about to school you on the wonders of hummus. You need to start eating it cause it is the BUSINESS. Basically it's just dip but WAY better for you. It's very healthy and completely delicious. You just have to watch what you eat with it, like obviously if you're eating tortilla chips, it's not as healthy as if you eat it with 100% whole grain crackers or my personal favorite, brown rice snaps. The best flavor IMO is roasted red pepper. It's only $1.99 at Whole Foods for a pretty big container of it. I could live off the stuff. Ok, I'll stop rambling about food now. Thank you!

PTR Update: Random Things About Our Trip!
SIX DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ![]() Disclaimer: This will be a very long and rambly post. I don't expect anyone to even read it but I am chomping at the bit to get to Disney World. I just don't care much about anything else right now and so I had to get these thoughts out SOMEWHERE!!!!! SIX DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -If you're not following me on Twitter yet, do that. Twitter.com/babybritney. I will be posting live updates and photos from the World! And I will follow you back. If you follow, you should say hello and tell me what your DIS name is, so I'll know who I'm talking to! ![]() ![]() -I'M FREAKING OUT ABOUT THIS. Originally, I totally put the Fantasyland Expansion out of my mind, because I knew it wasn't going to be in previews until Nov 19, which is long after our trip ends. Then, Jess told me it was in soft openings while she was there at the beginning of Oct, but she didn't get to go. I promptly LOST IT at the possibility of this happening during our trip, and did a ton of research. I mean, I was honestly just so SHOCKED because I never even thought we would get to see it, like at ALL. So what I ended up finding out is a bunch of mixed info. During our trip, Cast Member previews are happening, so it probably WON'T be in soft open for us. However, some are saying it will definitely be open during MNSSHP. This kind of throws our whole MNSSHP plan out of whack... not that I care, I am DYING to see this new Fantasyland!!! I honestly will cry and lose it and need to be sedated if we get to see it. The other only hope I have is that there is no CM preview and nothing else scheduled on the 27th (that the public knows of), so hopefully it will be open that day! KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED FOR US! I WILL SERIOUSLY DIE OF JOY IF I CAN SEE THIS!!!!![]() -I think I have FINALLY FINALIZED our plans. I am very obsessive and I over-plan and I have been doing that all day since I did not have to work. I am not letting myself change ANYTHING ELSE. I'm not even going to LOOK at our plans b/c I know they are perfect and altering them any more is just completely unnecessary! ![]() -As for dining, here are some clues about where we are eating!! 1. There are 8 TS reservations. 2. 3 of them I have been to before, 5 are new to me. 3. One is a breakfast, 3 are lunches, and 4 are dinners. 4. One is located in Hollywood Studios (if you can't guess this, you don't know me AT ALL. Also, there may be a picture of it in this update. Hmm.) 5. Two are located in the World Showcase. 6. Four are located in Deluxe Resorts. 7. Two are Signature Dining Experiences. So, there you have it! Kind of, not really. You probably can't guess most of them. You'll just have to wait for the TR! We have a few great CS places planned too, but using up CS credits during the F&W Festival is NOT easy! I love F&W so much that I usually want to eat there in place of ANY meal... so it's been super hard to plan everything! I've never been on the Dining Plan before, but so far I am VERY much liking the fact that most of my food is 100% paid for already! Plus we got it discounted due to Free Dining, so that's just beautiful. haha. I just can't believe I'm going to be eating at these amazing restaurants and not forking any money over. It just... does not compute. AHH I'M SO EXCITED!![]() -We both did our Online Check-In and are set to go! We didn't make any room requests, because in the case of this resort I'd like to leave it up to chance. I personally think any room/location is a good one (all for different reasons), so I don't really mind where we end up. I will, however, be requesting (again) a certain location for the 2nd resort I'll be checking into for what I'm calling my "Bonus Weekend". I just have my heart set on this location, and I'm paying extra, so I hope it goes well! Eeee! ![]() -I called Disney to get our Magical Express info straight, since we're arriving on separate planes and leaving on different days, and the CM was great... but it still says "Ground Transportation: Not Included" when I log into DisneyWorld.com and look at our reservation though, so that's worrying me a bit. I guess I'll have to call Disney yet again! ![]() -The shiny new memory card I ordered for my camera arrived, and after testing it out I discovered it holds 9,999 photos (But there's room for 10,000... actually, there isn't. It literally holds 9,999. Oops.) OR 219 minutes of video. This is perfect, because I haven't done a trip video since 2008, and Lee-Anne and I always get into crazy hysterical antics, so I knew our first Disney trip was going to need to be captured on film. However, I HATE carrying around a video camera, and I don't even like the one I have. It's 6 years old and the color quality on it really sucks. At a place like WDW where there are so many stunning vibrant colors all around you, that's something you really wanna capture! So, at first I was going to buy a new video camera and just deal with having to carry it around all the time in addition to my other camera. But then I realized, my regular camera takes awesome quality videos! It may have been cheap and purchased as my emergency camera when my former one broke at Disney, but it's really proven itself to be wonderful! I take short videos on it all the time, and they come out looking great. So I decided to just buy a 32 GB memory card, which was only $19, a bargain when you think of the fact that I almost bought a new video camera! Also, I'll only have to carry around one camera now, so basically it's just a bingo. I'm so happy I won't have to worry about running out of space at all. Though, we can get quite picture and video happy. When I texted Lee-Anne to tell her about this new camera and everything it can hold, she replied "All of that will be used up within the first hour of the trip, lbr." hahahahaha ![]() -I finally made some rough plans for after Lee-Anne leaves, so I at least have an idea of what I'm doing. I'm planning to go outside the norm for my Bonus Weekend, and I'm hoping it all works out how I want! Even if it doesn't... it's fine, I mean, it's Disney... everything is going to be perfect. But I want to do something special, so we'll see!! One thing I know for sure is I'm gonna have to go on a thrill ride spree - Lee-Anne isn't fond of thrill rides, so while she's here we won't be doing much of that! So it's definitely going to be a WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! kind of situation with these thrill ride marathons, believe you me. ![]() -So... I got to sewing the last piece of my MNSSHP costume yesterday, and it didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. Alas, it is not going to be as perfect as I originally planned... BUT I don't care. At first I was a bit frustrated, but then I was like... you know what? Who cares! I'm not there to look perfect or win best costume, I'm there to have fun celebrating one of my favorite holidays with one of my best friends at a place I love so much I call it my home. AHH I AM SO EXCITED! It still looks good, and I am happy with it. I didn't finish it yet because I need some additional supplies (STILL isn't sparkly enough... it's getting there, though!!), which I will go to Michael's and buy tomorrow. So we'll see how it all turns out! ![]() -Our plan for MNSSHP is eat lunch around 3 (so we are nice and full and don't have to stop to sit down and eat a meal at the party, we can focus on stuffing our faces with candy and popcorn and other MK delicacies!), head back to the resort, get in costume, arrive to the party early and focus on character M&Gs for the top half of the party. If you've read my TRs, you know I haven't been huge on the character interaction lately (We met no characters on our 2010 trip, and only Mickey & Minnie on our 2011 trip!), so I DEFINITELY want to meet a bunch this trip, and what better time than at MNSSHP, when a lot of rarely seen characters are out! I know exactly where each character is greeting (seriously, it's implanted in my brain) and I have a list of who I want to see the most to least. At the top of the list is obviously Rapunzel and EUGENE FITZHERBERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ![]() After that, we're watching HalloWishes, the Boo To You Parade, and Villians Mix and Mingle. I AM SO EXCITED. YOU HAVE NO IDEA. I CAN NOT CONTAIN MYSELF. I JUST KEEP SCREAMING RANDOMLY AND CRYING. Seriously, last night I was trying to fall asleep (near impossible at this point) and I started crying just *thinking* about Beauty & the Beast. Oh man. AHHHHHHHH. ![]() I think that's it for now. Well, I could go on, but you know. OK BYE GUYS. Have a magical day everyone!!!!!!!!!! ![]()

Lia I am SO excited for you. I just was over the moon happy when I went to WDW for my trip and I am so incredibly glad that you get to experience MNSSHP yourself. I don't know anyone else who appreciates Disney as much as you, and you definitely are going to be blown away by everything. I can't WAIT to hear your reaction. AHHHH have the most magical time ever.
And i hope we get to see these awesome pictures and videos you guys are planning on taking!

I'm so curious where you're staying!!! I feel like maybe POFQ for your weekend?????? I DON'T KNOW. When I guess it's usually wrong haahh but I'm used to it now. You really can't go wrong with any of the Disney resorts though, it's just a proven fact.
THAT EUGENE IN THE PICTURE IS THE ONE I MET AND HE'S THE BEST ONE AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I agree, nobody said you had to look absolutely perfect in your costume, it's supposed to be fun, not a competition! I'm still SO curious about that btw. ![]() I know how you feel randomly crying at things. I'm not even going soon and it's been happening to me, like when I think about Eric's castle and how flawless it is and how they couldn't have done a more perfect job on that! Anyways yay!!!!!!

Oh my goodness, well let me just say, be careful what you look at on twitter, picture-wise. I have this sickness where I ALWAYS look at a picture if someone posts one, and someone (I don't even remember who it was) put up a picture where the entire tweet was just the link to the picture, and I clicked it innocently, not knowing about the soft openings yet, and SAW IT BY ACCIDENT! But I'm with you, I want everything to be a surprise and I'm avoiding it all like the plague! I'm being very careful now that I know there are so many spoilers out there! The good thing is that I'd already seen the unfinished castle in person, so this was basically the same, just a complete version. But it was beautiful and perfect so I really do hope you get to see it all when you go!

Yay 5 days!!!
![]() I hope you get to see the new Fantasyland while you're there! I'm hoping I can see it in November, but I'm going when they are doing AP previews, so I'm not sure if they will be doing anything for the public when the AP previews are finished. Keeping my fingers crossed! Your trip sounds like it's going to be amazing! ![]() I'm not on Twitter yet, but if I join, I will definitely follow you! I keep thinking about joining, but I never get around to it!
