NJ DISMEEET for GKTW - PART 2!
FOR SOME ODD REASON, I woke up at six am.
I dont even know why.
I didnt sleep that well and plus the beds were super uncomfortable. They had this dial thing on the side of the bed and I turned it all the way to soft. Yeah, it felt firm. Not cool, dudes.
So I went on Twitter and all that fun stuff until Mum woke up, or until I woke her up. I dont know which one. I probably woke her up cause lets be real now.
Once we actually got out of bed, Mum hopped in the shower and I spun around in the chair. For like 20 minutes until I was so dizzy I was about to fall over. And plus I almost fell over in the chair about 10 times. Im surprised I dont have bruises or anything.
Im nuts.
After Mum got out of the shower, I took one, put my makeup on, and all of that fun stuff.
Once we were all finished (and no it didnt take 3+ hours. Foreshadowing for the November part
) we headed downstairs to the lobby. They didnt have a free breakfast, but there was one for like nine bucks per person and you could get fruit, beverages, omelets, pancakes, waffles, etc. The usual breakfast stuff. So we did that!
We saw Julie and Finley in the lobby and Finley looked ADORABLE in her little sparkly skirt. OMG I want that kid as my sister.
We found a table and then went up to the line to get omelets and pancakes.
Kathy and Teresa were in line with us and they just crack me up. Oh my god. They didnt notice the huge sign that read what was for breakfast and Teresa turned to Mum and said Was that there before? And Mum said Oh no. They JUST put it up.
Maybe it was funnier in person
All of the cooks talked in Spanish and Teresa kept asking me WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?! I told mum after and she said she should be used to that, due to living in Florida and all.
Once we got our food, we headed back to our table.
I got an omelet with cheese, ham, peppers, onions, and who knows what else. I am an adventurous eater to say the least. And those are potatoes next to it.
I also got some fruit and a pastry thing that I thought was a chocolate croissant. Not so much. It was hard and not good.
Everything else was great! Mum got pancakes, fruit and some other breakfasty stuff. She enjoyed everything, Im pretty sure.
After we finished breakfast, we decided to go back up to our room and get our things we would need for the day.
We still had about two hours to kill till the main event, so we headed over to the mall! I think it was called Bridgewater Commons, and it was SUCH a nice mall.
Once we got there (it was only several miles away), we found a parking spot and went to CRUMBS first, and at least I think we did.
Twin, get excited.
Everything looked amazing in there and I was about to die. I had been to Crumbs before, but we never got anything. Little different this time around!
I got a red velvet cupcake (I blame my twin) and we got a box of 12 mini cupcakes to bring to bowling that night.
LOOK AT IT.
AND THE BOX OF CUPCAKES.
Heaven. That is all.
After we stocked up on sweets, we headed to Sephora because I wanted to check out the Jasmine collection! I had seen pictures of it before but not in person. All of it was really cool, except the perfume. I am not a perfume fan as it is, and this was just horrendous. YUCK. In there, I also saw this really cool nail polish that looked like a chalkboard and then you could draw on it. I didnt get it, but I thought it was really cool.
After Sephora, I forget where we went exactly, but we went into Forever 21 where I found a black and white checkered dress. I wanted to get short leggings with it, but they had none.
Then we checked out Hot Topic where I got this light vest with a skull on the back.
We also checked out the Thomas Kinkade store where there were SO many Disney paintings and I just wanted them all. UGH SO PRETTY.
It was almost 11:30 at this time and we needed to go back to the hotel to drop off our cupcakes, so that is what we did.
After that, we headed to the main event, which was about 5 minutes away.
Since we already checked in for everything the night before, we didnt have to do anything except wait until the doors opened. While we were in the lobby, we bought 30 more raffle tickets. We already had 10 each but we needed more!
Once they opened the doors, we found a table (the Wishes table!) and met our tablemates.
The program, I guess you could call it.
We headed up to the FOUR tables filled with the raffle items. There were about 140 of them! They also had about two tables filled with silent auction items.
Some of the items. AND EWW IT IS DUFFY.
Snow White stuff!
I wanted this SO CRAPPING BAD. I put about 30 tickets in there, and I didnt even win it! It was an opening day map, buttons, AND THAT POOH PLUSH.
Cute little bags!
Mum made some items for the raffled and everyone loved them! She has been making park map bracelets lately and necklaces with images she finds on the computer. She has been thinking about making an Etsy shop with stuff like that. Ill let you guys know if that happens!
This was one of the silent auction items. I LOVED IT.
Awesome Aulani stuff!
Loved these photos from Kathy!
Teresas daughter Stella drew this. She did a really good job! It went for over $200 and Corey got it!
Then we went up to play Where in the World after we looked at all the raffles and auction items.
Some of them were really hard and then some I knew right off the bat. Then Mum decided to FLIP THE PICTURES OVER for some odd reason and there were the answers! Oh Mum
She only flipped one over so we just didnt put that on our sheet. You had to pay a dollar to play and that money went to GKTW, of course!
Some of the pictures.
Before lunch, we played DIS bingo and we had to go around to a bunch of people and ask them if they did
for example, if they have played golf at WDW, or have been on the Disney Magic. Stuff like that! One of them was if you went to the 1964-65 Worlds Fair and there was guy who actually went! He said you had to pay $7 to get into the fair and then another dollar to ride Its a Small World. Really cool!
Then it was time for lunch! They had pasta, potatoes, salad, vegetables, bread, and chicken. Everything was REALLY delish and cooked well.
After lunch, we had time to chill and we talked to the people at our table.
Before the podcast, they announced the winners for Bingo and the Where in the World contest. AND GUESS WHAT! I was one of the two people that won the Where in the World contest! GO MOI! SO I won a GKTW bag and bracelet, which reminds me on Minnie.
Then, the live podcast started! And we had a front row view. We were right behind Craig and Dustin. It was a little hard to see Shaun and Teresa sometimes, but that was ok.
Like always, the podcast was great. It is a VERY different experience seeing it live. And it is going up today if you want to go listen, but it seems like they areor werehaving some technical problems, so Im not really sure.
EDIT: I just checked and it looks like they will be going live at 7pm!
EDIT PART 2: IT IS UP NOW!
They talked about the whole Monstrous Summer thing that just got announced and the changes coming to the Magic, which I CANNOT believe they are doing in six weeks. And have you guys seen the AquaDUNK?! I will not be going on that. That seriously looks terrifying. If you havent seen the video, here it is:
https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?v=445494902198593&set=vb.300173409654&type=3&theater
HOW SCARY DOES THAT LOOK!!??? I will not be going anywhere near that thing. The podcast team was saying how you stand up and then after the count of three, a door opens up below you and you basically fall. So basically it is Tower of Terror: Sea Edition. And then you go 20 feet over the side of the ship. Excuse moi while I puke. I have been on the AquaDUCK, and that was fine, but I couldnt do this. AT ALL.
And of course, there was much crying going on on one side of the table aka TERESA. And I have no clue what was up with her and the M&Ms. Go watch the video of the podcast. Oh my God.
After the wrapped up the show, they announced the raffle prizes, which took forever because there were so many.
Lets just say I won several prizes.
Not braggin here, but I am a lucky duck sometimes. If only I won that Animal Kingdom one
So I won FOUR prizes.
1. The Snow White one! It came with a 60th anniversary poster from the movie which is so cool, the DVD, and two stuffed animals which are ancient. The Queen has the OLD
Disney Store logo!
2. A snow globe from hallmark that is from Walts 100th birthday. It plays When you Wish Upon a Star!
3. A really old Disney board game, and I am way too lazy to see what the name of it is right now. (pics will some ASAP).
4. And last but not least, the little lime green park bag I included a picture of!
I WAS SO LUCKY. OMG.
And then Mum won a Five Guys gift.
That you could only use at one certain location.
In NJ.
So we had to give it back. Nice job reading, Mum!
After I got all of my prizes and such, the main event was then over, so we headed out to get some dinner.
Mum put the wrong address into the GPS and we got to some random house on some random street. Sadly, they werent home to serve us dinner. SO SAD.
I found the RIGHT address and we drove to the restaurant. It was called the Chimney Rock Inn or something along the lines of that. The food was pretty good. I just got a burger. Mum got a chicken caeser wrap. For dessert, I got this thing called Rocky the Bear, which was a scoop of chocolate gelato with a bear face on it. It was so cute and yummy!
After dinner, we headed back to the hotel and got the cupcakes and then headed to the BOWLING ALLEY! We got there a little after seven and like no one was there. We sat down with Kevin (who won the tasycake contest!) and his fiancée Kaelea. They are getting married soon and they are going to Disney for their honeymoon so we talked about their trip, DVC, and our upcoming trip. They were SO nice!
Once more people got there, we got our lane and shoes and decided to be on a team with Kevin and Kaelea. Linda, who helped organize the whole event, was also on our team. And we had a special guest join our team after.
Of course, we got the lightest balls there were because we dont like heavy balls
..
Here are the balls.
SOOOOO, we got our names on the screen thingy and we got to pick a theme for our screen so we went with vintage, DUH.
I am AWFUL at bowling, so I didnt do very well at all. I think I got a 65 first game. That just shows how awesome I am.
Meanwhile next to us, Mr. Corey Martin broke the lane like two times because he got a strike almost every single time.
Skill, my friends.
Before we started our second game, we asked if anyone else wanted to join in and Teresa came over!
Because she joined at the end of our game, we had to put her name in, but she never scored anything. So what happened was, Kevin had to manually go in and put a strike every single time for her. AND SHE WON WITH A 299! GO TERESA!
We then started our second game and I dont think Teresa had every bowled before. She did pretty well, and A LOT better than moi. And for some reason, she got a KICK out of the dudes that would show up on the screen. Those dudes were funny. And weird
Teresa didnt finish the game with us, but we had a lot of fun with her!
Mum, Linda, and moi didnt feel like playing a third game so we sat on the sides and talked about how Lindas son works for Disney as a character attendant in MK and was on the opening team for Brave! SO COOL. She also told us how they might be moving to Florida soon! Sending good vibes her way!
During our games, we got pizza, which was normal bowling alley pizza. Not like AMAZING or anything.
Kevin and Kaelea started another game but then our lanes shut down because or time was up.
We said goodbye to them and then we went around offering people cupcakes because like NO ONE ATE THEM. I dont even know.
I offered one to Dustin and he took the red velvet one and said ¡Gracias senorita! and did a little bow.
ANYWAYS
. Then I offered one to Shaun and he said no thank you and then he goes I know you from Instagram!
And I was like
wait. WHAT?!
That made me so happy! He doesnt follow me, but he looks at my pictures and KNOWS MOI! Like, come on now. HOW COOL IS THAT.
And then Craig came up and said Youre Meg, right?!
WHY YES YES I AM.
CRAIG LOOKS AT MY PICTURES TOOOOO!!!!!!
And then COREY joined in on the conversation! I told him Julie follows me (cause she does) and he started looking me up on Instagram.
I felt so special and so crappin happy!
And then Craig took a cupcake.
So.
Yeah.
Just a little excited about that!!!!!
We then left the bowling alley and headed back to the hotel. They were having an after partay in the lobby, but I was EXHAUSTED so we just went up to the room and fell asleep.
GOOOOOOOD NIGHT PEEPS!
LAST DAY TOMORROW ):
good one twin!
What is it next too? 
Were they annoying? Probably. Was it your problem? Only because you let it be.
