Hmm.. I didn't realize it was 4:30 in the morning.... Okay, I'll let it slide
You are too funny. I <3 Breaking Bad and this picture cracked me up.
I would've been so upset if I got Star Trek instead of The Way Way Back (which was an amazing movie, I agree). They really should be clear about the instructions. I would've thought the same as you and then been very grumpy about being stuck with Star Trek! It seems like otherwise Jet Blue was a good experience though. Did you leave from Newark or JFK?
I LOVE Pop, it's like an old friend at this point. My last five trips have been there and it really feels like home at this point. I get mad when people bash it. It's clean and fun and so pretty to look at it, and it just feels so Disney. (Although I am super excited to stay at AoA this summer, I will probably have to walk over to Pop and say hello at some point) I love how there are always CMs waiting to welcome you off the ME and the moment those doors open and I see the sparkly tiles in the lobby, that's when it feels like I've finally made it to Disney. Ugh I miss that feeling...
I did NOT know that Stacey gets updated with a MNSSHP version! That's awesome. And I think I would have voted for the Monsters Inc jack-o-lantern scene. Too cute. The Hades pumpkin was too scary for me
I've been considering starting pin trading because of your last TR. I used to really not get it at all, like I knew how it worked but I guess I just didn't see the point. But after reading your last TR, something just clicked for me and now it seems like SO much fun and I want to do it! I saw at the very end of the TR someone had asked you where you buy your traders from on ebay so I searched and have been looking at the close-up view of all the pins and thinking about what kind of pins I would look for if I was trading... so you may have gotten me hooked and I don't even own any pins yet and won't even be taking a trip for another 6 months! LOL - you just made it seem like so much fun! Is there any way to participate in any pin-trading activities from home while waiting for the next trip?
ETA: I just realized the time and I'm totally going to be late to work because I was reading (and responding) to your updates. I think it's a valid excuse though so I'm not worried...
Im in
Your first day seems like its going amazingly so far!
I love Jetblue as well, free checked luggage, yummy snacks and free tv is AWESOME.
Getting to Disney is so freaking exciting, there's no better feeling!
And POP! I love POP too, we always stay there, its the best!
Can't wait to hear all about your MK adventures!
So as I sit here on a plane to Orlando, I was looking at the #earport hashtag on Instagram and saw your super cute Mickey picture. Start reading trip reports and there it is! Can't wait for the rest of your report!
LOVE the 1st updates Lia - What a wonderful start to your trip, & as always your enthusiasm is contagious!
This made me laugh;
So yeah...that would be me!! On my earlier visits to Disney, I'd stayed off property for one reason or another, but it had always been my dream to stay at the Grand Floridian & 6 years ago that dream came true! And of course once we had a taste for Disney Deluxe, there was no turning back! So last year we stayed at the gorgeous Beach Club! I certainly wouldn't rule out a view of a giant platform shoe on future visits though...!!
Really looking forward to reading more...Particularly about your wonderful MNSSHP experience I'm still catching up on your Dec. 2011 report too!
Very best wishes,
Siân.xx
I know I need to listen to their new stuff. I'll get on it one of these days haha. I was a merchandise CP at the Polynesian Resort! It's so fun because the two times I've been back since my CP, it's been like a family reunion. I love/miss my Disney Ohana so much. Maybe someday I'll go back as a CM, but we will see!
How am I just finding this TR? I'm not the Dis-er I used to be. But I'm here now.
Love the hot and fancy lady those are literally the perfect words to describe her!
The Disney difference is truly, truly noticeable. I actually just wrote about it in my TR but I ventured out to Universal and got YELLED at by an employee and the real kicker is she had us confused with someone else. That would never happen at Disney. I do really love how even the ones at the airport, which is really kind of far from WDW, they still make the difference!
Pop Century is amazing. It just screams fun in your face not in a scary way, but in an excitable way! I will always love it. It was my first on-site resort too!
Using MagicBands to get in your room is SO convenient! I loved it too SO COOL
Your whole trip is making me freak out and get homesick because I was at Pop just DAYS before you so I saw all the magical Halloween decorations too and I JUST MISS IT SO BAD!!
I had no idea about the Hidden Oswald!! AHHHH llkjflksdhf!! I love it!
So excited for BoG!!
Oh my goodness Lia I am so in! It's always a relief to see that there are other people out there, like me, who have such a love for Disney and the disboards have been the one place where I can go and share with others about Disney and not get the weird looks or eye rolls lol. I can seriously be having the worst day ever and just see something Disney or hear a Disney song and I am immediately in good spirits again! You are right....It is Magic for sure! Plus anyone who uses a Thundercat reference in their opening post is automatically alright with me
Thanks!! Haha, Our costume plans are currently:
-Fairies (vidia, rosetta & terrance)
-bimbettes & Gaston
And Move It Shake It dancers if I dont get hired/trained on that lol!
If Steven & I go back again in Oct we might do Aurora & Phillip!
Awesome!!! So happy to see your new trip report!! You are such an amazing writer Cant wait to read all about your trip!
You got this started so quickly! I will be reading along and joining you for #mnsshpmonday on Instagram, although you may have a few more pictures to share! Thank you for providing my Disney fix until I can figure out a way to get back there myself!
First time "tuning in" to one of your trip reports and I am loving it so far!!! I need to go back and read your older TR Also, I am a HUGE Hanson fan as well
Subbing! HOORAY FOR THE NEW TR!! Can't wait for more...Be Our Guest...YUUUMMM...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH so excited for this! Your TRs literally make me the happiest person ever. I love it. I love living vicariously through you...WHAT IS YOUR LIFE???
I totally get your pain in knowing how rare it is to find people on your level. There's been a few times where I'll be randomly talking about Disney to people (but ok, more like all day everyday) and they'll be like "Oh, I love Disney too! The new Harry Potter section is so fun!" And a little piece of me dies each time.
So amazing that you and Jess actually hang out and go on trips together! Can't wait to read more!
Haha, I would definitely love it if you were a CM using a marionette and doing 'Nsync's "Bye, Bye, Bye"!
Joining In. I follow you and Jess on Instagram. Can't wait to hear about all the Hot and Fancy shenannigans. -Amanda
I'm so excited to see this TR!! I followed you and Jess on Twitter during MNSSHP and now we get to read the rest of the story!
Oh, yay! I came back in town to find a new Lia report! Yippee!!
(I totally subbed way before I replied.)
yay.
ok...LOVING it already and it's only your first day there!!!
So, first of all, I'm so excited that they have the F&WF brochures at the airport!!
Our next definite trip is Nov.1-8 in which we plan to really DO F&WF for the first time.
Previously, we have only done a wine tasting, but hoping to really try the food and drinks this time (other times we were on the Deluxe Dining Plan, so it really didn't pay for us to partake too much) and hopefully do a special meal event or two.
Anyway, I know I am going to GRAB those at the airport and maniacally peruse them whilst on our way to AKL on the DME!
So, thanks for posting that. This is just ONE of the reasons why I LOVE your reports. The details!! On our trip in December I tried to look for the Pixar lamp, that I read about in your report, but he didn't come out. I told DH about it though, and he thought it was the coolest thing.
BTW, this past trip DH finally got it! This was his 7th trip since '08! LOL..but seriously, he didn't want to leave this time and when we were home sitting on the couch he asked me out of the blue..."when are we going back?" And then another time has said..."I just feel like going to a character breakfast or.." I was in SHOCK! But happily. Actually estastic.
OH! So, you should know...you can get the Dapper Dans at your wedding.
My friends had them at theirs. Though you would want to file that away in your future wedding ideas folder.
You should totally go on a cruise!!! You would LOVE it! We've been twice and are going again in NOV. I don't even know how to describe how fantastic they are....
Can't wait for your next update!
I'm here and soooo in
Loving your report so far, I just wish you would show a little more enthusiasm
And HUGE bonus points for featuring TIMON in your Trip Report
OMG, I love your enthusiasm! I'm the same way and my family usually looks at my like I'm nuts when I squeal at stuff like DME! My Sis and I are planning our very own trip in December so we can SQUEEE whenever we want and no one will judge! (or at least no one we know)! Anyway, I'm subbing and can't wait to read more about your trip!!
Courtney
