Hi!! It feels good to finally be back and up to date again! I didn't do as much quoting as I'd like since I was tight on time, but at least I'm here again.
Yes, Timmy is finally going to Walt's park FOR THE FIRST TIME. I can't believe it's actually happening especially with how quickly it came to be.
Oh my goodness, yay! So happy for you! This is on my list, too.
Christine Baranski-loving Grinch
I laughed out loud at this. Christine Baranski forever. <3
hey were actually still making the line and they told us later that we had just barely made it before they closed the line. What luck!
Awesome luck! It would have been disappointing to miss this meet!
We basically flew through the E.T. queue. An added bonus: THE ET NAME THING WAS WORKING. We actually got to give our names and do all of that. It's usually not working so I was super excited about that. We also got to see some more of the effects in the queue. I was really LIVING for E.T. The ride itself, we didn't get front row, which is what I got to do my first time (right behind E.T. actually) and was a bit disappointing. It still was really fun and he did a pretty good job of saying our names at the end. E.T. saying Siobhan was far better than most who attempt it.
Love ET! How lucky that the name thing was actually working! What kind of witchcraft is this!?
Two days ago now we lost both The Great Movie Ride AND Universe of Energy (Ellen's Energy Adventure).
Sad day. I wish I'd had the chance to ride once more.
We then heard something going down off to the right of Gringotts. We came upon the end of the Tale of the Three Brothers being performed. F
How cool! I knew they had shows, but I didn't know this was a thing!
Oh and yeah, I also bought another Butterbeer for Siobhan and I to share lol We tried to get one without the cream foam since Siobhan is lactose intolerant, but the recipe is copyright so they can't change it. Oh well.
This is such a bummer!! I avoid dairy and gluten, and it's a shame that even though butterbeer COULD be both with modifications that there's nothing they can do. Lame.
We started to head out. Alas, I had to do a few things. First, was in Florean Fortescue's because ICE CREAM!!!!
I couldn't not get some wizard ice cream before leaving and what's better than having some more Butterbeer flavored things?
Yum! Looks delicious!
Alyssa wasn't raving about it but she thought it was definitely very creepy and freaked out especially during the part where the bugs crawl under your butt (my personal favorite since I think of it as a butt massage and just laugh at everyone else having panic attacks). Good times.
Bahaha
It felt so authentic, just like everything in DAK. #BlessUpJoeRohde
Amen!
The Candlelight Processional was still happening this week and guess who was the guest narrator? Jodi Benson.
Guess who was about five feet away from me?
JODI. FREAKIN. BENSON.
Holy cow!!
Anyways, Test Track was our destination, much to my dismay. It's a fun ride, but the original was so much more thrilling. It was my favorite ride in Epcot way back when. Since the change, the ride to me lost so much luster. No more neat storyline about being sort of a test-drive dummy and no build-up to the final test where you legitimately think you will crash into that wall. Now, it lacks so much substance and feels like some over-glamorized video game. I'm not about it. My family hadn't ridden it so I wasn't going to deny them at least a taste of knowing my disdain.
I never rode it before the change, but I wish I had! Especially after this review!
Not to mention the smells were so much more memorable. I want to bottle up the ocean one and put it in my car, it's so so SOOOO nice.
It's AMAZING! I was pleased to find that there's a soap at Basin White at the GF that isn't exactly the same but smells very similar! It came home with us for sure.
It was a love and shove type day for her. She's obviously a very busy mouse. I'm always just so thankful to have so many lovely photos with her.
Omg Kweenz!! You both look fab.
<3 Moana yes!!
I was crazy nervous. It was a very simple dance and I pick things up quick, but I was doing this... with Moana. Like I don't get stage fright, but I for sure get Moana fright. I mean, this girl took down Te Kā, revived Te Fiti and saved the world. Here I was about to do a traditional Polynesian dance with her.
Naturally! I'd be nervous, too! Moana is something else!
