How awesome!! A spontaneous Dismeet!! Love it!!
I know! I was so surprised!
And of course your breakfast looked awesome and I loved reading your TR....I guess for a while I will have to be content with reading a Billie PTR lol
Billie PTR is where the party's at, baby!
Do people get tired of omelet pictures? Omelet pictures are awesome! (I like omelets)
I love omelets! I never tire of them!
I dunno, I have one finger that does something else. I show it to people and they instantly know what I'm thinking.
But ... yeah. And now that you've said that I can't think anything else.
BAHAHA! Okay, now I think I like YOUR interpretation better!
That's pretty much exactly me at Disney. Beth makes all the friends, I kinda just stand there being awkward.
Won't we be quite the awkward pair at the Princess 5K, then!
That is awesome!!!! Best seating experience ever!!
YES! I couldn't believe our good fortune! Such a nice CM!
I love this picture! So beautiful!
Thank you! I'm pretty pleased with it!
AWWWW YEAAAAH!
This is an awesome picture! Yay DISmeet!
But it also makes me nervous for our Princess race. Because when we stop for pictures, I'm going to look super short. I know I'm short, but I'm regular short, I only look super short next to tall people like you.
I guess I'll have to practice running (or fast walking) in heels...
And I'll practice fast walking stooped over! We'll be fine!
Perspective is such a funny thing. You think you look super short next to a tall person like me. Meanwhile, when I stand next to a short person, I feel like they are the normal one, and I just look like an OGRE!!!
YAY! I'm so excited that Mark and Debby had a good time!
Me too! RELIEVED, also!
Thanks for sharing your trip - I always love reading about The Adventures of Billie at Disney, even if this was a very different trip than your solo adventures. I'm looking forward to the continued fun on your PTR!
You are so sweet! I'm so glad you're with me virtually on my journeys, Sarah!
This upsets me to, especially since I have small ones so it happens more then one would think. Though my small ones are small enough that on rides like Buzz at MK they get hidden just by the guns, poor kids.
Awww, the poor littles! I think arm-raising should be BANNED!
The trip is over, but I am totally following your next trip.
Hooray, I'm so glad! Don't forget the PTR party, too!
Still got over 8 months to go!
So sad that it is over! But I love the tradition of a departure breakfast. We do that too
Usually just a quick service, but it makes it so much easier to leave the Disney bubble! This past trip we popped into Epcot for some French pastries and it was fabulous.
Since I drive rather than fly, I am usually not beholden to a strict departure day schedule. As such, I discovered years ago that, for me, going to a park on that day is DANGEROUS. I would go in and tell myself "Okay, I am only going to spend the morning here, I need to be on the road by xx:xx time." And what would end up happening is I would just end up staying all day until CLOSE! Then trying to drive the 5 hours home afterwards without falling asleep at the wheel! One year it got so so dicey that I actually pulled over at a truck stop halfway home and took a nap in my car. I swore then NOT to do that to myself anymore. So no parks for me on departure day because I have no self-control.
ADRs serve me much better in this capacity!
After seeing this, though I'm definitely putting Boma pretty high on my list for a future trip!
You should! It's delicious!
Can't believe my mom stalked you. Although I am sure it was lucky coincidence that she ran into you again on the way to the pool. I snagged the pic to feature in my TR when the time comes.
Haha! No no, you're totally right, she did. I guess instead of phrasing it that she "found" us, it was more that she stumbled upon us. But I'm so glad! I would have been super bummed when I got to this part of the report and realized there was no photo! (And snag away, BTW!)
Funnily enough my family has a knack for this. On my 2009 trip I was in like for Kaki Gori and the girl in front of me looked so familiar and so I said "Mandy?" She looked so freaked out until I explained that we regularly chatted on the dis and what my screen name was.
Random dis meets are always fun.
Another time on that same trip we ran into our Dis friend Rosie and we spent the morning touring Epcot together, totally spontaneous!
Ya'lls spidey sense is STRONG with DisMeets!
I'm so glad that they enjoyed their trip.
Me too! I was so worried!
i was off at DHS with the boys. Mom had opted for a lazy day at the pool.
That's right, I do remember her saying that now! I really gotta start taking better notes! (Or ANY notes, for that matter...)
I....am not sure what to say about this but it is freakin' hysterical!!
We were dying laughing at the table.
Yeah
I start dreading the last day on our first day. But I started doing the departure day breakfast ADR a few trips ago and it helps
a little.......
Gotta ease out of the bubble! It helps me having "one more fun thing" to go do! (And eating is FUN for me!)
Oh, and that's so cool about your Dismeet! I had one on mine and Steve's kid-free trip last March and I tried to meet another Dis-er last month but it didn't work out. So many of you guys I'd love to meet some day
If we all sat this obsessed with Disney, I'm sure we'll all eventually cross paths!
Boo for the trip being over, HOORAY for a bonus DisMeet!! I didn't get pictures of mine last summer, and I was super sad.
I would have been super sad if Beth hadn't suggested a photo! My brain was just NOT IN IT for pics this trip, I tell ya!
I almost licked my screen over the Mickey waffles. That's probably why I never give in and buy the Mickey waffle magnets...because I would try to eat them and chip a tooth.
I so totally relate to this!
We were in WDW that period last year and the weather was great. You picked a nice time to go.
YAY! That's a great to know. I love Fall at Disney but do NOT want to repeat the rainy mess that was my September 2014 trip!
How were crowds during that week for you?
Absolutely wonderful and entertaining trip report
Just a wonderful read from beginning to end
Thank you SO SO SO much! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed reading it!
Departure day is always the worst day. I'm so happy you had a wonderful time. Now it's time for me to hop back over to your PTR again.
See you on the PTR! Thanks for reading!
I love everything about your AK day - especially the walk up to Yak and Yeti! But my very favorite thing just might be your picture from EE. Everything about that it just perfection. From the grandma in the back row to the terrified little girl in the front!
Hahaha, I didn't even notice grandma. That's awesome!
Yay for more Epcot! Because is there ever too much Epcot? Dinner at Biergarten looks yummy! Sorry about the awkward seating. We were lucky to have 7 people and get our own table so big parties are good for something!
No such thing as too much Epcot, not ever! Nope!
I'm so glad that Mark and Debbie stayed around for Illuminations! And what an awesome CM!!
Yes, I was so happy they stayed, and that wonderful CM totally made it worth their while!
Last day!
But I know that yummy breakfast at Boma made the leaving just a little easier!
Boma noms makes EVERYTHING suck a little less!
Another great trip report Billie - thank you so much for sharing it with us. As a group I thought you had a nice balance of showing your aunt and uncle some good things, and being understanding when they needed to take things at their own pace.
Awww, I appreciate that, Donna! I did try really hard to make sure they had a good trip.
Been following along and thoroughly enjoyed your entire trip report! Both informative and funny- just what I like. I'll be subbing onto your next ptr!
That's so nice of you, thank you! I'm really happy you enjoyed it!
Looking forward to see you on the PTR!
