Go Home, December. You're Drunk. - A December 2015 TR - COMPLETED

Are ya'll tired of omelet pictures yet? :laughing:

Nope! But I personally like egg porn!

My hair is super jacked in this photo. :rotfl: I like how Mark looks like "Da hell?" and I'm like "Whaddup, bro!"

Haha. Word.

Arm-raising is apparently acceptable on Everest. No face-blockage. I approve! :thumbsup2

Great pics!

I smelled it before I reached it, parked my wheels, and sauntered on into a very crowded lobby at Yak & Yeti. I approached the podium, dripped some honey on the hostess, explained we didn't have an ADR, flashed my Landry's Club card at her... And within 5 minutes, we were lead to a great table upstairs, overlooking the dining room below. SCORE!

You're ballin'! You are Y and Y VIP!

Our server was SUPER cool, and really helped us with the menu. Before long, beautiful appetizers appeared on our table!

We ate that too last year!

Our super awesome server saw me snapping food pics, and offered to take a pic of all of us... Then proceeded to take the WORST PHOTO OF ME EVER.

20151210_115848-1.jpg


I don't know why I'm even sharing it! TERRIBLENESS!

I don't think you look bad! I think you just look sleepy!

Oh, and then there were fortune cookies. And this was mine. Make of it what you will.

20151210_122544-1.jpg


...Naughty. :rotfl:

That cracks me up!

With full bellies, we decided to do some shopping! Debby found her a few things, and I found this AWESOME totebag. It was also cheap. I don't remember how cheap, I just remember it was a lot less than most bags I'd looked at this size:

20160206_210543-1.jpg


I just love it! I actually use it 3 times a week to bring my workout clothes/sneakers/water bottle to the office with me on gym days!

Cool, a new gym bag!!


While at the bus stop and waiting on Mark and Debby, I was on my phone checking Facebook, and somebody had commented that they hadn't seen me in my tiara enough on the trip. I just happened to be wearing my tiara at that exact moment, so I snapped this pic and replied to her comment with it:

20151210_155458-1.jpg


SO MUCH SASS. But really ya'll, what the crap was going in with my hair on this day? Geez![/quote[

The tiara is back! and florida humidity will do that to you. My hair is 50 shades of frizz in FL!

Finally, it was close enough to dinner time to wander back on over to Germany! Where I happened to spot a PhotoPass photographer...

EPCOT_WRLDSHW3_7545089381.jpeg

I love this pic!! I love the border too!

Finally our pager we off and we were led into the restaurant and our table with a family of 5... Mom, Dad, and 3 young boys. Mark and Debby got to talking to the parents a good bit towards the end of the meal. Me, however... I was just incredibly awkward. :laughing:

You were just focusing on the food! Buffets require strategy!

Finally the SUPER NICE elderly gentleman CM asked how many people I had with me, I explained it was just me and my aunt & uncle, and he said "You know what? Why don't ya'll just come right on in here?" And then invited us into into the COMPLETELY EMPTY roped-off section that he was was guarding! That's when he told me it was being reserved for the Candlelight Processional package people, and that the show would be letting out in a few minutes, but that Mark & Debby and I could go in and find us a spot before they arrived, since nobody could tell him where to send us for Accessible viewing! WHAT. OMG. AWESOME.

So awesome!! Extra Disney magic on your last night!!

Then as I was heading over to Mission Space, I noticed my scooter was limping along and running very low on power again. I was NOT going to let it force me to end this night early, so I had an idea. I zipped into the dump shop and explained my situation to the CMs there, and asked if they had anywhere I could plug in a charge for a little bit, while I was in queue and then riding the attraction. That way I could just pick it up on my way out. They said no problem, and actually showed me to an outlet in a little recessed area where they said the often let folks plug in their mobility devices. SCORE! So I got that set up, then walked out and back around to the front, and then on through the queue.

Great idea!

And then for some inexplicable reason, I took this picture of myself looking super creepy...

20151210_232547-1.jpg

Definitely more awake now than in Y and Y! :rotfl::thumbsup2


And then got my PP picture, in which he told me to pose sassy with my hand on my hip, and didn't even try to center me probably because he was ready to go home, and so I look ridiculous and there's some random behind me...

EPCOT_ECENTR3_7545355953.jpeg

Classic "it's late and the park is closing what am I doing here" PP photographer pic!

I was telling her about how sometime in the last day or two, I'd lost feeling in my second toe on my right foot, and how weird it felt. I was also showing her how insanely swollen my lower legs, ankles, and feet were (from being on my feet so much). So she one-ups me, and shows me her legs, and the fronts of her lower calves are covered in somewhat swollen, hot-to-the-touch bright red blotches... Guess who got the DISNEY RASH?! As soon as I saw it, I knew what it was (thanks to @Chicago Mo and others on these boards), so I was able to tell her about it and put her mind at ease a bit. I should have taken a photo, because it was REALLY bad! Disney was leaving us all kinds of BEAT UP!!!

Oh no!! I hope she felt better! I have not actually seen this Disney rash. Is it like a heat rash?



BOO! NO! IT'S OVER! I DON'T WANNA GO HOME! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!

Make it stop! Make it stop!:rotfl:

I turned and sad "Yes?" and she smiled bright and explained that she recognized me from the DisBoards! Which has NEVER happened! :eek: It was Beth, aka @emmaca , who happens to be the mama of Lessa, aka @Lifelong_Dreamer ! SAY WHAAAAAAT! I was so excited! My first DisMeet! I hugged her, and we chatted about how our trips had been. She and her family were staying there at the Lodge, and it was just so neat to bump into her!

Totally cool! I've had 2 spontaneous DisMeets and they were awesome! :disrocks:


Mmmm love Boma!

God. So good. So carby. I'm thinking that in October, I'm going to have to find a way to have omelets and Mickey waffles EVERYDAY. Because it's seriously all I can think about!

What! You read my mind!!?? Mickey waffles please.

After that, I'm hoping to attend the Princess Half-Marathon weekend in February 2017, and am training for the 5k already (I have a LONG way to go)! No PTR for that yet, but eventually there will be one!

That's it, ya'll! Thank you SO MUCH for helping me relive my memories of this crowded and crazy early December journey! I love you guys! Stay pantsless! :lovestruc

Awwww your TR is over! I loved it!!! Thanks for taking us on your journey! Now we can focus on your upcoming trips!!
 
You know another thing that makes your trip being over easier? You already have another one planned :woohoo:At least it always does for me! For all our trips since 2012 we've known when we're going back, so at least on our last day I had a return trip to look forward to. January was the 1st time in 4 years we left without having another trip in the works, and baby that was hard :(
TELL ME ABOUT! I almost always have my next trip at least tentatively planned months before leaving on the currently approaching one. It REALLY REALLY does help with combating those post-trip Disney blues to already know when you'll be back! ::yes:: I need to STOP at some point because I really have other things I that I NEED to be saving my money for (like a newer car), but Disney is my anti-depressant! Sure, it's expensive, but it works better than any pill ever has! :thumbsup2

I am already subbed to your pre-trip report.
And I'm so happy you are! :hug:

I just used the little note app on my phone to jot down notes of each day when we had down time. So if we sat for a break I'd note what we had done up to that point, at lunch etc. It is making writing my report so much easier since I actually have notes on what happened and don't just have to rely on the pictures to guess what things are in order.
I told myself I was going to do that on my last trip, and I could barely remember to take pics much less take notes. :laughing: I'm awful!

Another awesome TR Billie! I'm sad this is over but thank goodness you have an equally awesome PTR or I don't know what I would do with myself!
I will do my bestest to keep you entertained via the PTR in the meanwhile! :rotfl:

Oh Boma, you look wonderful and I will visit you someday!
You must, you really must! It's AMAZING!

So cool you had an impromptu DisMeet!
I know, I couldn't believe it!

I'm glad your Aunt and Uncle had a good time, I know it was important to you to show them all the wonder that is Disney.
Yeah, it went well overall. :goodvibes

Thanks for keeping us entertained! All hail Princess No Pants!

giphy.gif
You're too funny! :laughing: :hug:

We had been to Disney that same week for two years in a row, but for some reason, F&W was really crowded last Oct. ML was crowded on non party nights, but wasn't too bad during the mornings on party days. We spent a lot of time in the main pool at the BC. ;)
Yeah, I think last Fall and forward, EVERY day was more crowded than previous years. That's probably just the standard now, so I'm bracing myself for it!

Sounds like a fun trip. crazy to think it's been over 2 months
I know, right?! I don't mind, though... It just puts me 2 months closer to the next one! :goodvibes

So sad when the last day comes! Glad you guys had a great trip.
Great that you were able to get one last breakfast in the bubble before you had to leave.

Looking forward to the next report! :D
Thanks so much for being here! :hug: I'm glad you enjoyed my ramblings!

Nope! But I personally like egg porn!
You said "egg porn!" :rotfl2:

You're ballin'! You are Y and Y VIP!
I'm telling you, that Landry's Club card is MAGIC! :goodvibes

We ate that too last year!
So good, right?!

I don't think you look bad! I think you just look sleepy!
So so so sleepy. Still recovering from my Flights of Wonder scooter nap, probably. :faint: :laughing:

That cracks me up!
Pretty much the funniest cookie fortune ever. :rotfl:

Cool, a new gym bag!!
Yes! I just love it!

The tiara is back! and florida humidity will do that to you. My hair is 50 shades of frizz in FL!
I thought when I chopped my hair off short last year, it would make me immune to the Florida hair curse! ...NOPE!!! >:(

I love this pic!! I love the border too!
Isn't the border CUUUUUTE?! It's perfect for Wold Showcase photos!

You were just focusing on the food! Buffets require strategy!
They really do! I take my buffets very seriously!

So awesome!! Extra Disney magic on your last night!!
I know, we were SO lucky!

Oh no!! I hope she felt better! I have not actually seen this Disney rash. Is it like a heat rash?
I've seen lots of posts about it here on the Dis, and if you Google is, you get lots of results, so apparently it's pretty common. From another site:

"One of the most common rashes reported from Disney guests is Exercise-Induced Vasculitis (EIV) and is what most people experience when they talk about the Disney rash or the Epcot rash. EIV is also commonly called Golfer’s Vasculitis because the doctor who published an early study on the condition started investigating it as a result of patients who complained of developing a rash on their lower legs and ankles while playing golf. In a nutshell, a person’s legs and ankles begin to swell (this is called edema) due to standing and walking in a hot and humid location; the swelling inflames the small blood vessels in the cells and causes red bumps to appear on the surface of the skin. This particular rash can be itchy; in my case, it kind of feels like you’ve wrapped one of those mesh bags that oranges or onions come in tightly around the skin and then it swelled through the mesh while it is developing and then the itch starts later. The combination of reflected light and heat from walking surfaces along with direct sunlight seem to be a factor, which is why the rash typically occurs on the ankles and lower calves."

Totally cool! I've had 2 spontaneous DisMeets and they were awesome! :disrocks:
Yes, and one of them was with our apparently DIS-departed sister, @Tracy161 ! I miss her! :sad:

Mmmm love Boma!
Yes, ma'am! No Disney trip is complete for me without some BOMA! :D

What! You read my mind!!?? Mickey waffles please.
YAAASSS! 8 months until I'm eating them again! Diet, what diet?! It's gonna be carbapalooza that week! :rotfl:

Awwww your TR is over! I loved it!!! Thanks for taking us on your journey! Now we can focus on your upcoming trips!!
I'm so glad you came along with me on this TR! Can't wait to read your next one SOON!

Thanks so much for your report Billie! I truly enjoyed it ::yes::
Thank YOU for being here! :hug:
 

Haha...that lady in the red is just not that impressed that you are escaping for a GIANT DINOSAUR!!!!!

I smelled it before I reached it, parked my wheels, and sauntered on into a very crowded lobby at Yak & Yeti. I approached the podium, dripped some honey on the hostess, explained we didn't have an ADR, flashed my Landry's Club card at her... And within 5 minutes, we were lead to a great table upstairs, overlooking the dining room below. SCORE!

...Naughty. :rotfl:

You had some awesome pixie dust on this trip!!! A surprise DISmeet....Yaki & Yeti...Illuminations....Tink was definitely on your side.

Confession time: I've never seen Illuminations...
giphy (3).gif
 


Just found your trip report, and enjoyed it! Thanks for posting! (And I love Boma too....tho I've only gone for dinner, not breakfast...YET!)
 
Isn't she ADORABLE? And so little! (Especially next to my tall self!) I'm just thrilled to have met you, Beth! And thank you for having the good sense I did not have that morning, and thinking to get a photo together!! :hug:

Hi Billie, what a great photo of us, I'm glad that we captured this, I had decided to take a day off and relax by the pool before meeting up with the kids later in the day, I was totally not expecting to meet anyone it was just by chance that we ran into each other in the gift shop, after I ran into you I saw that ScottNY had posted on FB that he was at the hotel as well, so I FB messaged him to see if he was still there as I would have like to have met him, but sadly he had left. It is hard to believe that we have been home now for almost 2 months, time flies, so it has been nice to relive our time through our trip reports.
 
(( Okay. I'm not even gonna lie to ya'll. Normally I have my TRs wrapped by now. It's been almost 2 months since my trip, and my memory is getting SUPER foggy. And I don't take notes, sooooo... yeah. I guess what I'm saying is expect the rest of this report to be mostly pictures and gifs, and lighter on narration. :laughing: ))
How do you do a dining report and a trip report without taking notes????? I have to jot some things into my phone or else my reports would be here is a picture of this and don't you like my picture of that ; )

20151209_085630-1.jpg


Pooh decided that Aunt Debby talks too much...
This is a great picture of them.

As I was leaving Tomorrowland, I stopped for a Photopass pic!

MK_TOMBRDG1_7543456946.jpeg
Great picture!!!!!!


MK_SPLASH_7543597658.jpeg


My face, you guys. Seriously.
Seriously priceless face you mean ; ) I'm not sure who is more terrified you or the kid in the front row.

Aaaaand so this happened...

20151209_134226-1.jpg
Like pink much Billie????? :P

20151209_134316-1.jpg


Me and my new pal, hangin' out, gettin' to know each other!
Casey was looking over my shoulder while I was reading this and thought this was a picture of me and wanted to know where her balloon was ; )

After dinner, Beast unfortunately had quite a line, so we decided to forgo visiting with him. As we strolled along through New Fantasyland, we stopped for a photo.
Do you think they will ever stop calling this new fantasy land and just let it be fantasy land? Plus, 3 years in not so new anymore.

Stitch was... Well. It was Stitch. The Monsters Inc Laugh Floor ended up being okay. If you've done it before, then you know the video monitors will pop up a few people in the audience, and the comedians will make jokes about them. And whose face shows up on the screen at one point? Mark's. :lmao: The comedian said like 3 jokes, starting with: "Look at this guy! He thinks his nose is so important, he had to underline it!" (Making fun of his mustache.) Unfortunately, I can't tell you what the other jokes were, because I was crying in the floor. :rotfl2:
Love it. How did Mark react?

Now. I did the FP+ back in April, and it was great. You could show up last minute, and still have plenty of room. Tonight it was A-W-F-U-L. I got there early, and it was already PACKED... and they were still letting people in!
We did this for the first time last trip and it was horrible. It was actually our first time seeing wishes from in front of the castle because I'm too impatient to ever wait. We got there about 10 minutes before Wishes and could barely find a space to stand. They clearly give out way to many fast passes for this.

20151210_075630-1.jpg


Are ya'll tired of omelet pictures yet? :laughing:
Yes, especially when they contain mushrooms ; )

The coffee from earlier had worn off, and I dozed through most of the show... right up until a FALCON BUZZED THE TOP OF MY HEAD. Yeah, that'll wake ya up, lemme tell ya! :laughing:
That will definitely wake you up.

nd within 5 minutes, we were lead to a great table upstairs, overlooking the dining room below. SCORE!
Woohoo for the Landry's card. Still can't thank you enough for introducing me to it. One of the best kept dining secrets on property.

Finally the SUPER NICE elderly gentleman CM asked how many people I had with me, I explained it was just me and my aunt & uncle, and he said "You know what? Why don't ya'll just come right on in here?" And then invited us into into the COMPLETELY EMPTY roped-off section that he was was guarding!

WHAT. OMG. AWESOME.
This is amazing. And how great for your aunt and uncle to be able to not just sit, but be in a private viewing area. Huge SCORE.

As I exited the park, I did stop for this shot of Spaceship Earth...

20151210_234005-1.jpg
Great picture.

I was telling her about how sometime in the last day or two, I'd lost feeling in my second toe on my right foot, and how weird it felt.

I should have taken a photo, because it was REALLY bad! Disney was leaving us all kinds of BEAT UP!!!
Wow, sounds like you two really had a rough time. Now I'm not sure I want to ask, but what is Disney rash? And whatever it is thank you for not taking any picture of it ; )

turned and sad "Yes?" and she smiled bright and explained that she recognized me from the DisBoards! Which has NEVER happened! :eek: It was Beth, aka @emmaca , who happens to be the mama of Lessa, aka @Lifelong_Dreamer ! SAY WHAAAAAAT! I was so excited! My first DisMeet! I hugged her, and we chatted about how our trips had been. She and her family were staying there at the Lodge, and it was just so neat to bump into her!
Yeah for DISmeets!!!!!

That's it, ya'll! Thank you SO MUCH for helping me relive my memories of this crowded and crazy early December journey! I love you guys! Stay pantsless! :lovestruc
No, thank you so much. Always love a pantless Billie journey!!!!
 


Yeah for DISmeets!!!!!

It was great meeting you as well Billie, the unexpected meetings sometimes are the best. I have enjoyed reading your trip report, it is hard to believe that it has been a few months
 
LOVE that bag you got way cute!

Seems like overall a pretty good last day, Animal Kingdom, and Epcot! Plus you got Aunt Debbie and Uncle mark to stay for illuminations!

I have been reading a lot of positive things about CM's recently which i LOVE (the Illuminations spot, and the plugin in of you EVC are two to add to the list!)!

Can you please stop taking such nice looking food pics! it makes me want to eat everything ALL the time!

Sorry i was so far behind during this whole TR! but i really enjoyed it!:grouphug:
 
It was a LOVELY stay, and I'm so glad that I got to experience it!

So sad it's over but I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I turned and sad "Yes?" and she smiled bright and explained that she recognized me from the DisBoards! Which has NEVER happened! :eek: It was Beth, aka @emmaca , who happens to be the mama of Lessa, aka @Lifelong_Dreamer ! SAY WHAAAAAAT! I was so excited! My first DisMeet! I hugged her, and we chatted about how our trips had been. She and her family were staying there at the Lodge, and it was just so neat to bump into her!

Yay!! Surprise Dismeet! Is there anything better than that.

And me, in all my tired-brain state was like "A picture? Of what?" And goes, "Of us!" And then it clicked in my head and was like "OMG YES LET'S DO THAT YOU'RE SO SMART I'M SO DUMB." Okay, I probably didn't say that outloud, but I was thinking it! So I handed Debby my phone and she snapped us, and I'm SO HAPPY that she did!

:laughing: You crack me up, Billie.

Isn't she ADORABLE? And so little! (Especially next to my tall self!) I'm just thrilled to have met you, Beth! And thank you for having the good sense I did not have that morning, and thinking to get a photo together!! :hug:

Now we know it really happened. ;)

I'm going to have to find a way to have omelets and Mickey waffles EVERYDAY. Because it's seriously all I can think about!

That good, huh? I don't think I've ever had one. It might have to go on my must-do list for October.

Finally it couldn't be avoided any longer... It was time to get on the road. We settled our bills and made the walk out to the car, got settled in, then said good bye to Walt Disney World (for now!).
:sad:

After that, I'm hoping to attend the Princess Half-Marathon weekend in February 2017, and am training for the 5k already (I have a LONG way to go)! No PTR for that yet, but eventually there will be one!

yay! Two upcoming trips, how exciting!!
 
Haha...that lady in the red is just not that impressed that you are escaping for a GIANT DINOSAUR!!!!!
I know, right? HOW CAN YOU NOT BE IMPRESSED BY THAT, LADY?! :confused3

You had some awesome pixie dust on this trip!!! A surprise DISmeet....Yaki & Yeti...Illuminations....Tink was definitely on your side.
She sure was! :tink:

Confession time: I've never seen Illuminations...
giphy-3-gif.150953
SAY WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! :eek: Fix that!!!!

Just found your trip report, and enjoyed it! Thanks for posting! (And I love Boma too....tho I've only gone for dinner, not breakfast...YET!)
Thanks for reading! Definitely try Boma for breakfast, too... I love both meals there equally!

Hi Billie, what a great photo of us, I'm glad that we captured this, I had decided to take a day off and relax by the pool before meeting up with the kids later in the day, I was totally not expecting to meet anyone it was just by chance that we ran into each other in the gift shop, after I ran into you I saw that ScottNY had posted on FB that he was at the hotel as well, so I FB messaged him to see if he was still there as I would have like to have met him, but sadly he had left.

It was great meeting you as well Billie, the unexpected meetings sometimes are the best. I have enjoyed reading your trip report, it is hard to believe that it has been a few months
I loved meeting you too, Beth! It added just one more bit of pixie dust to our trip! And YES, it's so weird to think it's been 2.5 months since the trip! I'm so ready to go back! :goodvibes

How do you do a dining report and a trip report without taking notes????? I have to jot some things into my phone or else my reports would be here is a picture of this and don't you like my picture of that ; )
Well, as my time passes and my memories fade, that's kinda what my reports devolve to towards the end of them. :laughing:

Seriously priceless face you mean ; ) I'm not sure who is more terrified you or the kid in the front row.
Probably me. :rotfl: Looking at my face, you'd never guess that's actually my favorite right in the whole park!

Like pink much Billie????? :P
Just a leetle bit. :cutie:

Casey was looking over my shoulder while I was reading this and thought this was a picture of me and wanted to know where her balloon was ; )
She asks the important questions! ::yes::

Do you think they will ever stop calling this new fantasy land and just let it be fantasy land? Plus, 3 years in not so new anymore.
I dunno. They still call it "New Mexico," don't they? :scratchin

Love it. How did Mark react?
He was a really good sport about it! Afterwards Aunt Debby was just like "How do you two keep getting picked for all this stuff?!" :laughing:

We did this for the first time last trip and it was horrible. It was actually our first time seeing wishes from in front of the castle because I'm too impatient to ever wait. We got there about 10 minutes before Wishes and could barely find a space to stand. They clearly give out way to many fast passes for this.
Yeah, I'm pretty much done with the FP+ area for Wishes. I think I'm going to try the Wishes Dessert Party out in October and see how I like it! (It's like I'm always on a quest for the ideal Wishes experience!)

Yes, especially when they contain mushrooms ; )
You mean DOUBLE mushrooms. They're DELICIOUS. You'll be disgusted to know that last night for dinner, I cooked myself a medium-rare steak and my only side was a half-pound of mushrooms sauteed in butter and garlic. BEST NOMS EVER. :D

Woohoo for the Landry's card. Still can't thank you enough for introducing me to it. One of the best kept dining secrets on property.
It really is! I tell EVERYBODY who will listen about it now! (Okay, maybe I should consider keeping it a secret at least a little bit...)

This is amazing. And how great for your aunt and uncle to be able to not just sit, but be in a private viewing area. Huge SCORE.
YES. It was total pixie dust because I know they would have been miserable standing and would have ended up bailing on me. But it all worked out PERFECTLY. :goodvibes

Wow, sounds like you two really had a rough time. Now I'm not sure I want to ask, but what is Disney rash? And whatever it is thank you for not taking any picture of it ; )
I've seen lots of posts about it here on the Dis, and if you Google it, you get lots of results, so apparently it's pretty common. From another site:

"One of the most common rashes reported from Disney guests is Exercise-Induced Vasculitis (EIV) and is what most people experience when they talk about the Disney rash or the Epcot rash.

Yeah for DISmeets!!!!!
Yes! I was so surprised!

No, thank you so much. Always love a pantless Billie journey!!!!
DOWN WITH LEG PRISONS! :laughing: I need to get caught up on your report (and everybody else's, too!)

Loved your report! Moving to the Dining one now :)
Yay, I'm so glad to hear it! :goodvibes

LOVE that bag you got way cute!
Isn't it, though?! I just love it! :-)

Seems like overall a pretty good last day, Animal Kingdom, and Epcot! Plus you got Aunt Debbie and Uncle mark to stay for illuminations!
Yes! It was a GREAT last day! :goodvibes

I have been reading a lot of positive things about CM's recently which i LOVE (the Illuminations spot, and the plugin in of you EVC are two to add to the list!)!
Most CMs are AWESOME! I love them! One of these days I'll start carrying Thank You cards to give to the really special ones! ::yes::

Can you please stop taking such nice looking food pics! it makes me want to eat everything ALL the time!
Nope, sorry. Can't do it. You'll just have to suffer along with me. :rotfl:

Sorry i was so far behind during this whole TR! but i really enjoyed it!:grouphug:
I'm so far behind on EVERYBODY'S reports! I'm really glad you stuck around for this one, though! And thank YOU again for spreading a little liquid pixie dust in the form of H2O! :drinking:

So sad it's over but I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I did! I can't wait for the next one! :-)

Yay!! Surprise Dismeet! Is there anything better than that.
It was SO cool and such a neat bit of pixie dust!

:laughing: You crack me up, Billie.
I do try to entertain. :D

That good, huh? I don't think I've ever had one. It might have to go on my must-do list for October.
Yes yes yes! Do that! :thumbsup2

yay! Two upcoming trips, how exciting!!
I know, right! I need to find time to update my PTR about how the planning is going on them, but things have just been crazy! :faint:
 
Billie, you just make me smile. Then laugh and smile some more! :jumping1:

I just finished binge reading (how did I miss all of this on a thread I am supposedly watching!?!! Ugh. Will I ever get this "new" DIS figured out?!):confused:

Thanks for the hilarity in an otherwise snowy, gross day. Jackie :lovestruc
 
"One of the most common rashes reported from Disney guests is Exercise-Induced Vasculitis (EIV) and is what most people experience when they talk about the Disney rash or the Epcot rash. EIV is also commonly called Golfer’s Vasculitis because the doctor who published an early study on the condition started investigating it as a result of patients who complained of developing a rash on their lower legs and ankles while playing golf. In a nutshell, a person’s legs and ankles begin to swell (this is called edema) due to standing and walking in a hot and humid location; the swelling inflames the small blood vessels in the cells and causes red bumps to appear on the surface of the skin.

My husband showed me the rash he had on his lower legs when we in Disney last week. I laughed and told him that he had the famous Disney rash. It wasn't hot out at all but he was wearing tight crew socks and he had done a lot more walking than normal. Once he changed to shorter and looser socks, the rash went away. His rash was minor, mostly some bumps. But if I hadn't read about it on your TR and the TR's of a few other people, I never would have known what it was.

Update - we booked a magical deal to return to the BC in Dec - the same week that you were there for your trip. :) I'm really looking forward to all the special Christmas stuff they have then.

Did the Pop Warner kids bother you at all? I can't remember if you mentioned it. I might have to read your trip report again. ;)

This new DIS is super crazy sometimes! It's not just you, I promise!

I wouldn't have known how to recognize it either if it wasn't for the DIS! Isn't it crazy?

YAY for the BC! I can't wait for my October stay! So excited! :goodvibes

Honestly, it was so crowded at the parks that I didn't try to sort out Pop Warner from the rest of them! So I would have to say nooo? :confused3 Definitely didn't notice them at AoA!
 
After our delicious royal breakfast, we headed back down to Future World for our first FP+ of the day, and made our way into Spaceship Earth. From there it was over to the Seas pavilion, starting with a FP+ ride on Nemo & Friends, then touring the aquariums. In a fashion unlike myself (again), I took ZERO pictures in here. Not even of my beloved manatees (whom I visited with for quite some time).
