3 Amazing updates.
OMG pixie dust, riding the teacups with Alice and the white rabbit.
Loving your solo TR. You go girl!
Thanks! It was fun throwing myself into the Disney magic on the solo part of my trip!
MY GOD YOU HIT THE ******* CHARACTER FREAKING JACKPOT THAT DAY!!!
Seriously the photo of you & pooh eating breakfast is beyond adorable
You got to ride the teacups with alice & the white rabbit and that is amazing and wonderful and that is my favourite friend of alice's ever! She's perfection!!
Anna & Elsa sound like they were a great time, but I have t say, I'm not a fan of the look of Elsa.... #whoops I LOVE THAT AURORA FRIEND TOO SHE'S FREAKING PERFECTION, she hangs out with vidia occasionally and that is beyond amazing too.
AND MY FAVOURITE LITTLE STINKERBELL SERIOUS YOU GOT EVERYONE THAT IS AMAZING TODAY, CHARACTER JACK POT!! Love her so much!!
Honarary trolley dancer, best day ever
Meeting danielle & co is always a blast of a time!
Oh goodness, I honestly don't remember what else...hm...LOVE the shirt, and everything sounds like it was an AMAZING morning for you!!
Haha thanks for EVERYTHING. This was easily the second-best morning I've ever had at Disney. The first will always remain that perfect Cinderella's Castle proposal from my lovely husband!
Talk about pixie dust!!! That is so awesome that you were able to ride the Teacups with Alice and the White Rabbit! The Photopass photographer captured some really great photos, too! By the way, the guy in the peach teacup is totally jealous!
Between the great character meets and meeting Danielle, her parents, and Hayley, this day is off to a fantastic start!
Yes, that castle photo is real darn good!
I didn't notice the guy in the peach tea cup until you pointed him out, hehe that's funny!
Truly,Disney magic at it's very best!!
Right?!?! Anytime anyone says Disney has lost it's magic, I'm just referring them back to this chapter.
Yayy! Another post! What a lovely breakfast at Crystal Palace. How in the heck did you understand all that from Pooh?! Lol.
LOVE all the bows. How cute!
OH.EM.GEE.! How awesome was that ride with Alice and the White Rabbit?!!! Wow! That's an amazing experience and even better that a photopass photographer caught it all. That is some serious pixie dust!
I have to add those Casey corn dog nuggets on my list of things to try!
You must try the corn dog nuggets, they're so tasty!
Amazing morning so far!!
First of all, the tea cups?! How amazing! What a fun memory!
I am loving the fact that Hayley recognized you by your bow! Too cute!
And...now I want some corndog nuggets! Is it terrible that we have never, not once, eaten at Casey's? We always seems to pass by in the morning or later afternoon. This needs to change.
It was a really amazing morning! Something I will remember for a long, long time.
Luckily for you, Casey's just went through a refurb and now there's twice as much seating, which makes it easier to eat lunch there!
What a great Magic Kingdom morning.
Riding the teacups with Alice?!?!? Say What?!?!? That's awesome!!
This is why I would want to do a solo trip. DBF is not big on M&G's so that would be awesome. Luckily I'm taking my young niece in January so I'll get to do a lot of M&G's with her. I might be more excited then she is.
I can't wait to try the corn dog nuggets in September!
Great update!
Franklin doesn't mind M&Gs, we do our fair share when we're together. But I didn't think we'd ever do this type of full-park character hunt. So it kind of organically became my plan for a couple of my solo days to include lots and lots of characters. It was so much fun!
I'm waiting for the good bus karma to turn to bad. It always seems to happen that way.
What an amazing day you had! Riding the teacups with Alice and the White Rabbit is the most fun ever.
I love the way you preplanned your bows so that you had a topic of conversation with some of the characters. You did a good job of hiding your bag in all of the pictures. I was wondering where you hid them.
I think the only way I could meet all those characters would be to take a solo trip. My DH would never be able to tolerate all those M&G's. But they look like so much fun.
Spoiler alert: The good bus karma never quits on this trip. It's shocking, but true!
I had a giant Ziploc bag of bows in my drawstring backpack and I did a lot of bow quick changes in line!
I don't always get a chance to comment, but Oh My Gosh! That was amazing!!! So many characters, plus riding the teacups with Alice and the White Rabbit!!! jealous!!!
Thanks for commenting! Good to hear from you.
What an excellent morning! Riding the teacups with Alice and the Mad Hatter is definitely some serious pixie-dust!
Looking forward to more updates!
Thanks! It really was an incredible morning. And it was even more fun re-living it with all of you.
I had seen your updates on Facebook, so I knew some of these things would happen, but I didn't know the stories behind the magic! I love that you were able to ride the teacups with Alice and the White Rabbit! I think I had heard that they do that, but I wonder if any of the other characters ride "their" rides. The only one I could really imagine would be Buzz, defending the galaxy. That would be pretty awesome, actually.
I was so hot out there, I don't know how you managed to stand around waiting for the Mine Train. I was barely able to make my way to rides with shaded and indoor lines. And I live in Vegas, where HOT HOT HOT is the norm!
I met the same Anna and Elsa as you! I've been looking at the promo pics and I don't think they're the ones that were used, right? I have to say, it seems like the character interactions have really been taken to the next level. The conversations they have are really making things extra magical. I love that Elsa showed you how to make snow and that you talked about bad hair with Anna. They're so fun!
Those corndog nuggets look scrumptious! I'll have to work them in next time. I had them on my 2010 trip, but that was soooo long ago, I don't really remember them.
Merida looks amazing! She's one of the face characters who really looks her part, IMO. Your matching bow is the best! All of your matching bows are soo cute! I can't even remember to bring my ears, let alone coordinating bows...
And... I finally started my TR! The link is in my sig. Stop over if you'd like! It's really interesting reading your trip as it is parallel to mine.
I was worried that people wouldn't enjoy reading about this stuff since they'd already seen it on Twitter/Instagram/Facebook. But it seems like everyone is enjoying me filling in all the details.
Yay! You started your TR, I am soooo starting it at lunch tomorrow!
Oops! How did I miss this one? Here now!
Yay! Glad you're here!
Love your character meets! Especially love the teacup ride! Also, love your necklace!!!
Thanks! That necklace came from one of my Disney buying/selling groups on Facebook, it's a fun way to expand my Disney collection between trips!
ok, I really have no excuse for not joining in on the fun sooner, but I am here now!
Wow, the view from your room really is perfect - especially for a "technically pool/garden view"
I think you are doing great with your photos! Well, I will admit that there is a gap b/w Franklin and yours on the dark rides - he's great with the lighting and filters and stuff!
We have an opposite first day tradition to you in that we generally don't do a park first day. We usually have limited day passes (using military rates) so don't want to use one up on a partial day. So our tradition is to see Wishes first night from somewhere outside of the park - generally has been on the Poly Beach
Man the new parade looks great - I really hope we get to see it our next trip but I am really worried about mid-affternoon August heat! Your pictures were great - especially love the one with the Dragon head in front of the Castle
Very cool you got to see SM with the lights on - I think it looks way scarier with the lights on with how close all the track and supports look!
And nice Firework Photo!
Oh I love POG juice! Sounds like a fun breakfast - I agree about the family style being more relaxed vs. buffet ... you almost have to have a strategy with the buffet and timing with characters, etc.
Sounds like a nice time at the spa - and those loungers look very cool! And I'd say a massage and then champagne, listening to the band, etc. make for quite the afternoon!
hmmm, if Food & Wine Festival counts as an "extra" than that is my favorite!
man, I am loving your dining choices - Cali Grill is so great, and they are a great place to get sushi!
And then pre-park opening ADR at CP! Love the puffed french toast there. I didn't know that they made pancakes there too! This TR isn't just entertaining - it is informative too
I've been loving all your bows too - and great how you match them to who you are meeting!
That's so cool you got to ride the tea cups with Alice and White Rabbit!
Yeah for DISmeet! Only thing better would have including PapaDon in on that Tea Cup ride!
Great job so far!
Wow, you did a great job of catching up! And you have a great excuse for being busy, you have a trip in a month and a PTR that you've been hard at work on!
Okay, now all I want in life is a teacup ride with Papadon!
Sounds like a fantastic morning so far!! All the CP characters look like so much fun, can't wait to meet them! I'm impressed you managed to meet so many characters in such a short time! I remember you posting on FB when you scored your A&E FP--did meeting them live up to the hype?
Getting to ride the teacups with characters is seriously cool! The photographer got some really great pics of all of you! Looking forward to hearing about the rest of the day
Anna and Elsa TOTALLY lived up to the hype, they were a treat to meet. I'm a little sad that the "meeting them together" meets are now a thing of the past. It was fun how they could play off each other.
Hi Missy--
Sounds like a great trip so far. I've always wanted to take a solo trip but haven't yet. Sounds like you're having a wonderful time.
The solo trip ended up being better than I could have ever imagined! Thanks for joining in!
WHAT?!?! You were like in a freakin' Disney commercial that day! Riding with Alice and the Rabbit?! And so many character meet and greets! And your bows are precious. I think my favorite so far is the Merida one with the little curly red hair ribbons!
The Merida bow was a new purchase before this trip and it turned out so cute! I love it!
Crystal Palace breakfast is my new favorite Disney meal. I loooooved that puffed French toast and I had some very good apple tarts there too!
So cute that Pooh sat down with you. Tigger sat down with us at a breakfast at Disneyland and made my dad rub his shoulders That's awesome you were able to have a conversation!
I did a solo morning at MK this trip where basically all I did was meet characters. It was so much fun and your TR so far is making a solo trip sound really fun!
That's so wonderful you got to ride the teacups with Alice and White Rabbit!!! I got to ride Peter Pan's Flight with Belle when I was little and it's one of my best childhood memories ever. Alice looks great in the photos, so in character!
I LOVE the idea of pictures in front of the trolley show!
Danielle and her family are so wonderful!! I would be pretty starstruck meeting Yeti as well.
I'm glad you got to meet Anna and Elsa together. I met them together in November and I liked it so much better than meeting them separately. I mean, having them separate definitely keeps the line down, but it was so much fun to see them interact.
I totally missed the apple tart at Crystal Palace, sounds like I'll have to go back!
Danielle and her family are so much fun, we were so lucky to get to hang out with them on this trip.
And I'm totally with you about A&E. I know they did for budget and efficiency reasons, but that doesn't mean it doesn't stink!
You're breakfast at Crystal Palace looked super yummy.
That is so cool that Alice and the White Rabbit rode the Teacups with you. Aladdin and Jasmine rode on the Magic Carpets one carpet ahead of us during my April 2012 trip. My DD and I were so thrilled they were on the same ride as us!
Loved the Princess interactions. We had the same Aurora this past January
Breakfast at CP was super yummy, it's one of my favorite restaurants at Disney.
This Aurora was fantastic, I'm so glad you got to meet her too!
Wow, what an amazing morning! You make character meet and greets look so fun! Plus, it's so cool you got to bump into Danielle. We JUST missed each other this past January (she was leaving on the day I arrived). I know we DISers have a lifetime of trips ahead of us where we all can try for more DIS meets!
That stinks that you guys missed each other. But you're right, we've all got so many trips planned that everyone will get to see each other at some point!
We had a great time with Missy and Franklin.
Thank you so much Courtney for the great compliment about our family. We love your family too.
Thanks Jackie! We had so much fun with you guys too!
What a great start to your trip! Your photography skills do a great thing! They document all the fun you are having! That is the point of most photography, right?
Exactly! The photos tell the story.
I can't recall if I ever complimented you on your previous TR's but I meant to. Now I am back for the most recent one! Looks like an awesome trip so far! Doing a solo trip is on my bucket list!
Awww thanks! I'm glad you like reading the TRs because I love writing them!
Wow loving all the meet and greet pics in this last update! You were so lucky to get to ride with Alice and the White Rabbit too!!!
We are doing Crystal Palace for the first time in Sept, I'm super excited! I also want to try and meet as many characters as we can. DS is only 2.5 so I'm sure he will have fun with it too
You will LOVE Crystal Palace. Everything is fantastic: The food, the characters, the atmosphere are all great!
It's so much fun watching the characters interact with little ones. We had so much fun taking our nephew to meet the characters when he was just 1. Now we can't wait to see how he interacts with them in December now that he's 3 and talking!
I love all the character interactions! Did that friend of Aurora have the voice down packed? She looks like the one I saw in a video who really did something special with her voice.
Yes! She totally had the voice!
Our Wendy in October looked a lot like your Alice and she was simply amazing & adorable! How fun that you got to ride the teacups with them! Character hunting is one of our favorite things to do nowadays, so I totally loved all the characters in these updates.
Do you have several pairs of ears with different bows attached or are they detachable? They are all so cute, and Hayley is amazingly talented! So funny that she recognized you by your bow!!
I'm going to have to go back and look at your Wendy photos! I have a pair of modified Minnie ears that have a loop of ribbon where I can put the different bows on!
Holy smokes, that was some great bus karma again! I love it when the buses cooperate.
They will make you pancakes?! I didn't know that either. Score!
I absolutely love the fact that you changed your bows throughout the day.
Merida is on my meet and greet list this upcoming trip. She's one I haven't met yet. Oh, and Rapunzel!
I remember you telling me all about riding the teacups with Alice and the White Rabbit. Just awesome.
Hahaha, Yeti is like a celebrity, right? He didn't do too much on this trip though.
And again the waiting for the mine train begins.
That's awesome that Hayley recognized you! So cool that you were able to meet her.
The Yeti learned the hard way to not go in public too much when you're THAT famous!
It was really funny that Hayley could recognize me by my custom bow!
Oh my goodness - how did I just get her now???!! Well I'm all caught up and what a great trip so far! I have to admit, I actually got a little teary when I saw the bit about the Teacup ride with Alice & the White Rabbit - what a truly magical memory!
Thanks so much for sharing the magic Missy! 32 more days till we're back in our happy place and your report is really helping the time pass quickly
Thanks for finding us! You'll be at Disney the same time we are, maybe we'll run into each other!
What a fantastic morning! I still have not eaten at Crystal Palace yet! (I know, i'm a Tiggerfan! How could I have not been there yet?!) Believe me it on my growing list of To Do's. It's such a beautiful restaurant and I love the Mickey pancake!
I remember seeing your pic of Alice & the White Rabbit online. So cool! Love hearing about all the little surprises and pixie dust that people experience on their trips! Gotta love Disney!!
How have you not eaten at Crystal Palace??!?! You must remedy that soon!
I'm joining in too; I'm late but I saw your update on your FB page and realized I wasn't subscribed yet! So far it looks like the solo part of the trip was amazing!
Yay! Glad you're here! The solo trip was absolutely amazing, thanks for the tips!
Your ride with the White Rabbit and Alice sounds super magical! I probably would have cried, I'm a huge Alice in Wonderland fan. Hope the pixie dust continues!
Thank you!
What great MK day. Characters, dismeets, and corn dogs. Pretty darn perfect.
Can't believe you hit to ride the teacups with Alice and the white rabbit. Pixie dust for sure. And on the same day as Anna n Elsa! What a coup.
Btw love your bows. Gonna have to raid the site before our next trip.
Franklin makes fun of me because my box of bows keeps getting bigger with no end in sight!
Your Pixie Dust was over flowing. Love the photos in the cup with Alice and the MH. You had your own Missy-Palooza with all of your awesome character meets
Missy-palooza, I like it! It's the perfect name for this day!
Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!! That teacup ride with Alice and the White Rabbit?! I have no words! That is absolutely amazing!! And what a FANTASTIC Alice!
I simply love all of your M&Gs! So wonderful. You must have been on cloud nine all day!! I follow a friend of Cinderella's on Instagram and it just makes me smile seeing these pictures.
And I love that you met the girl who makes the bows! That is ridiculous! (In a good way, of course.)
I was floating around on a cloud all day, that's for sure!
