There'’s Nowhere To Go But Down...…To The Utilidors! NEW TR LINK 6/4

We need to make it out to Rafiki's planet watch on our next trip, I don't think DS9 has ever been out there! In fact, I'm pretty sure the last time we went out, Jiminy Cricket was still meeting there......which was really cool but had to be 2010 or 2011 :scratchin

Awww - super-cute picture!!!

I did see one in the shade and asked if she knew where I could have my picture taken, and she offered to take it! I’m so happy with how they came out!
I love the Chip pics!!! Shannon likely won't return from WDW if we don't manage to get some Lumiere PP (um, MM??? I know they have changed it :laughing:) pictures!

Okay, this picture is so cute. And when I saw the FG, I kept thinking, Wow, that FG has been there forever. I have seen her in so many TRs, and I think we have met her on more than one trip. But then I went back to a couple years' of our trip photos, and I'm no longer so sure. I think they just do an AMAZING job with the FG - unless you look at photos side-by-side, you would never see a difference in them. I mean FG's friends..... Yikes. :laughing:

I was too hot to go join in the dance party but I was happy to see the floats (for what would be the last time…RIP Move It Shake It Celebrate It).
I'm glad you caught it one last time!

Saying goodbye to the Magic Kingdom is the worst, 0/10, would not recommend.
*sigh* It is pretty darn sad. But you don't have to be sad at all, since you will be LIVING THERE!!!! :woohoo:

because I was not feeling very Everest-y
Oh my! That must have been a terrible feeling. I predict that I will feel "not very Everest-y" if Willow manages to drag me on single-rider as many times as I think she's secretly planning. It will be like the Day of Thirteen ToT Rides.......

Dad probably got something healthy to make the rest of us look bad.
There's one in every group..... :rolleyes:

We had some time to kill before the ASL Finding Nemo, the Musical at 1:00 so we decided to take the train out to Rafiki’s Planet Watch. We hadn’t been out there in so long that Kylie didn’t even remember it.
:laughing: I can see that. We have still never made it out there for a first visit!

The girls met Chip and Dale outside then headed inside and met Rafiki.
Um, if that is where the 'monks are meeting now, maybe we'll finally take that train.....

I stopped in the ladies room before we left, where they had piped in shrieking bird noises which were pretty scary. I have a thing about swarming birds so it was certainly no relaxing experience.
:scared1: I don't have a thing about swarming birds. I have a thing about birds. Full stop. This would be very unpleasant for me.

And yet I'm intrigued with the bird show. I wonder if I could convince anyone in our group this summer to stop for that. :scratchin

It turns out she was hard of hearing, so she moved down to the ASL section to sit with us. She signed a bunch with Kylie and at the end asked if she could meet up with us at the Lion King show later.
Oh, this is so sweet!
 
Your magic shot pictures came out great! I've read several reports of the Fairy Godmother using sign language - so she is clearly good people

Anytime one can get on Everest twice in a row with 5 minute wait is a pretty good start to the day

Bummer about the safari though - guess it was just too hot ... I mean, I don't think I've ever read a report that didn't at least include a number of giraffes

That's cool they ran into that other guest who was hard of hearing ... or, should I say, cool for that guest to run into your family as she was able to adjust and sit in the ASL section - and fun that she wanted to meet up at FotLK as well ... Disney can make fast friends :goodvibes
 
Welp, you didn't get to see Aladdin, but you could've just taken a pic with your sister :) Another fabulous Disneybound by her and Emily!

I must do a solo Magic Kingdom morning!! I am exceedingly jealous that you were able to wander about and meet characters and take pictures with no one whining and hurrying you along :)
 


Even if you missed Aladdin, at least Jasmine was a sweetie.

What a nice Photopass CM and what a awesome magic shots.

I love love love that Fairy Godmother heart picture.

RIP MiSiCi :(

And agreed, MK goodbyes are the worst.

Wow, special bonus chapter.

I've said it many times before but I still need to see Flights of Wonder.

We had the same thing happen on the train over to Planet Watch last time, I don't understand why people can't just sit.

That was pretty cool that the VIP girl actually ended up knowing ASL.
 
I love all the MK character/Chip/castle pictures!

Too hot to dance? Crazy! At least you got to stop and take some pictures.

Totally agree with you on leaving MK ... if there was something below 0, I'd give that to leaving MK.

Yay for Mom filling in and writing about the morning you missed!

Sounds like a good morning. Sad that the animals weren't out much on the safari ... we had that happen once, it's a little sad. And how great that you made a new friend at Nemo ... it's great when something you have in common can help you make new friends!
 
Hi! I've seen you around the TR boards before, but I just happened to be scrolling through one this morning and saw something about DCP 2015. I may or may not get caught up here... I'm terrible about catching up on TR's when I join late quite honestly, but I'd love to live your DCP experience vicariously!
 


Ahhhh, who needs Aladdin anyway when you have Jas to meet. :p I mean the movie isn't called Aladd... Wait. Never mind. :oops:

Hahaha. While personally I prefer meeting Aladdin, I understand that there's a certain appeal to meeting Jasmine.

It's so weird. Sometimes there are photographers everywhere, and sometimes you really have to look. Thankfully you got what you were looking for and awwwww, Chip.

It was a brutally hot day, so I understand that the Photopass photographers were hiding, but I'm very glad I found one to do the magic shots!

:sad: Why Disney... WHY????????? Why did you do that to me???? I've been good... mostly!! :sad:

I know, keep moving forward and all that, but after seeing videos of the new version, I regret not sticking around for the dance party.

YAY bonus chapter!!

Yeah Mom! She did a great job.

Awww it's never good when you don't feel Everest-y. :(

I know. Usually we can persuade her to do it once a trip, but not this time.

I enjoy Flights of Wonder every now and then. Nice catch on the owl photo. really well done.

Me too, Rob. Not an every trip thing, but it is a well done show and the birds are great.

I love that you get pictures with the interpreters because pictures with CM's :rockband:

Pics with CMs are the best!

That is so cool meeting that girl in the line for Nemo.

Right? Such a great coincidence.

Me too!
I wanna go next week!

You and me both, brother. You and me both...

Yay Jasmine! My second favourite princess.
But who is this Aladdin you speak of... and who cares.
Jasmine!

See, you know you and Rob's love for Ariel?
While nothing could come close to that for me...
I LOVE Aladdin and get all kinds of starry eyed meeting him.
So I was a bit disappointed.


Love those shots!

Thank you! One step closer to being an actual Disney princess!

Man! as if Disney didn't do enough to make you fall in love with it.
Then this!

RIGHT?! I almost started tearing up in line.

Great shot! I like how you framed the castle with the foliage.

Thank you! I am a master photographer with an eye for these things.

(Or it was a total accident but I'll take the compliment anyway.)


I don't understand.
What does you're being hot have to do with not joining the dance party?
Didn't want to muss your hair?


Oh, wait.
You're talking about the air temperature here, right?

HA. Yes, let's go with the air temperature.

I didn't know it was going away. I might've paid more attention to it.

I'm a little disappointed, it was very cute. They've done an "updated" version but from the videos I've seen, I'm not as big a fan. I'm trying to reserve judgment until I get there.

Oh man. That looks goooooood.

I'm not a huge fan of Rice Krispies in my everyday life, but Disney rice krispies are the BEST. I like how they're generally coated in frosting or chocolate.

:laughing: I might give it a negative score.

Good idea.

Not. Feeling. Everest-y.

:faint:

I too am shocked, but my mom isn't the adrenaline junkie the rest of us are. We can get her on Big Thunder Mountain but that's about as far as it will go.

I bet!
Surprised it didn't have a bigger impact on your wait time.

Me too!

I find it wonderful that Disney does this (same for Nemo).

It's seriously enhanced our Disney experience so much. I really hope Kylie gets to join their ranks one day.

Boo, Dad!

Right? You're on vacation!

:laughing: I'm surprised he got it back. :rolleyes1

HA. "Unfortunately, this show is not included in park admission, so we'll be taking that."

I've done it and I hardly remember it.
It wasn't exactly the highlight of my trip.

Same here.

Good grief. :sad2:
"Oh, that announcement is for everyone else."

When people ask me, "Hey Courtney, what are you doing for Disney?" I'll just tell them I have to convince people to stay seated and put away their selfie sticks.

:laughing: Well I guess that keeps stall turn around times low.

I've never been in that bathroom but I have a feeling that if I went in and heard that, I'd hold it.


Such a great coincidence!

Only in Disney can you make a new friend that fast.

Thanks for the updates ladies! :goodvibes

Thank you for reading along!!

Courtney. I almost hate your photos for being so perfect. I love everything about them.

ALADDIN IS NEVER WITH JASMINE AT THAT SPOT and it makes me really sad so I understand but it looks like you had a great time with just Jazzy J!!!

Your magic shots are so cute!! And how sweet that she taught that little girl how to say "beautiful" in sign language!!

Saying goodbye to the MK is the woooooorst evvvvveerrr.

Again. The AK photos are looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooovely. My iPhone 4S feels shameful.

Awww thank you so much :)

She and I did have fun, but I missed the bae Aladdin.

Thank you so much! Fairy Godmother is the absolute sweetest. Love her.

I agree 110%. Just let me move in, Disney!!

Eee I'm sure my mom will appreciate hearing that!


Hooray for the Chip magic shot! :-)

I LOVE your "heart" picture with the Fairy Godmother!!! :lovestruc
I can't think of a time where I haven't felt Everest-y. ;) It's one of my favorite Disney rides and I can't wait to ride it in May! :worship:

Rafiki's Planet Watch has always been shoved to the "if we have spare time" list... perhaps I need to move it higher so I finally see it. :scratchin

So glad I got it! On my way to official Disney princess status.

Me too!! That's such a cute one.

I'm so excited to get back on Everest. My mom is not a big coaster person so she skips it, but I could ride it over and over given the opportunity.

I think I'll definitely check it out at some point on my DCP!
 
We need to make it out to Rafiki's planet watch on our next trip, I don't think DS9 has ever been out there! In fact, I'm pretty sure the last time we went out, Jiminy Cricket was still meeting there......which was really cool but had to be 2010 or 2011 :scratchin

I would love to meet Jiminy Cricket! I haven't been there in years so I think I will check it out on my DCP.

Awww - super-cute picture!!!

Aw thank you :blush:

I love the Chip pics!!! Shannon likely won't return from WDW if we don't manage to get some Lumiere PP (um, MM??? I know they have changed it :laughing:) pictures!

I am going to be on the lookout for Lumiere too!!

Okay, this picture is so cute. And when I saw the FG, I kept thinking, Wow, that FG has been there forever. I have seen her in so many TRs, and I think we have met her on more than one trip. But then I went back to a couple years' of our trip photos, and I'm no longer so sure. I think they just do an AMAZING job with the FG - unless you look at photos side-by-side, you would never see a difference in them. I mean FG's friends..... Yikes. :laughing:

I don't know what you're talking about, there's only one Fairy Godmother!!! But yes, her friends do fit the role quite well ;)

I'm glad you caught it one last time!

Me too! Maybe we'll check out the new one together if we can get Willow to stop running to Space Mountain...

*sigh* It is pretty darn sad. But you don't have to be sad at all, since you will be LIVING THERE!!!! :woohoo:

That's honestly what I was telling myself as I was taking those pictures. "Next time hopefully you won't have to leave!"

Oh my! That must have been a terrible feeling. I predict that I will feel "not very Everest-y" if Willow manages to drag me on single-rider as many times as I think she's secretly planning. It will be like the Day of Thirteen ToT Rides.......

Oh no...please inform Willow that I will not be participating in any day that includes 13 ToT rides.

There's one in every group..... :rolleyes:

Yeah, this weekend my family went to NYC and went to a barbecue place. Mom and Ky got barbecue chicken and pulled pork, while Dad got...a salad.

:laughing: I can see that. We have still never made it out there for a first visit!

Yeah, with limited time I'd never really considered doing it, but I'll probably head over once or twice on my DCP.

Um, if that is where the 'monks are meeting now, maybe we'll finally take that train.....

The character meets do seem pretty fun!
:scared1: I don't have a thing about swarming birds. I have a thing about birds. Full stop. This would be very unpleasant for me.

And yet I'm intrigued with the bird show. I wonder if I could convince anyone in our group this summer to stop for that. :scratchin

I'm not sure who said, "Yes, screaming birds in a bathroom, great idea!" But Flights of Wonder is a really well-done show. We always enjoy it.

Oh, this is so sweet!

Right? Only in Disney!

Your magic shot pictures came out great! I've read several reports of the Fairy Godmother using sign language - so she is clearly good people

Anytime one can get on Everest twice in a row with 5 minute wait is a pretty good start to the day

Bummer about the safari though - guess it was just too hot ... I mean, I don't think I've ever read a report that didn't at least include a number of giraffes

Fairy Godmother is the BEST.

I'm with you on that one!!

Yeah, I think the heat got to the animals. I was really surprised to hear about the giraffes too!

I know! One of the great things about Disney is all the connections we've made with people who are hard of hearing. So glad Disney has resources for people like my dad.


Welp, you didn't get to see Aladdin, but you could've just taken a pic with your sister :) Another fabulous Disneybound by her and Emily!

I must do a solo Magic Kingdom morning!! I am exceedingly jealous that you were able to wander about and meet characters and take pictures with no one whining and hurrying you along :)

Kylie was so glad you recognized her, especially since we didn't mention it in the update!!

It was SO much fun. I had a ball being able to do whatever I wanted.


Even if you missed Aladdin, at least Jasmine was a sweetie.

She was really nice and chatty!

What a nice Photopass CM and what a awesome magic shots.

Those are some of my favorites of the trip!

I love love love that Fairy Godmother heart picture.

Ugh, me too. She was so great.

RIP MiSiCi :(

And agreed, MK goodbyes are the worst.

:( such a bummer on both counts. But we'll be back soon!

Wow, special bonus chapter.

Yesss thanks Mom for the help!

I've said it many times before but I still need to see Flights of Wonder.

I would absolutely recommend it. It's a really cool show!

We had the same thing happen on the train over to Planet Watch last time, I don't understand why people can't just sit.

Especially after they're told multiple times...sigh.

That was pretty cool that the VIP girl actually ended up knowing ASL.

Right? What a great coincidence.

I love all the MK character/Chip/castle pictures!

Too hot to dance? Crazy! At least you got to stop and take some pictures.

Totally agree with you on leaving MK ... if there was something below 0, I'd give that to leaving MK.

Thank you!!! It was a really fun solo morning :)

Yeah, it was BRUTAL that day.

Same here, girl. Not a fan of leaving MK.

She did a great job!

I know! I'm glad I did my solo morning in MK, but my family had a lot of fun.


Hi! I've seen you around the TR boards before, but I just happened to be scrolling through one this morning and saw something about DCP 2015. I may or may not get caught up here... I'm terrible about catching up on TR's when I join late quite honestly, but I'd love to live your DCP experience vicariously!

Hi and welcome!!! Totally understand, this one's almost over so no need to catch up, but you can look for my DCP TR in June!!! Would love to have you along for the ride! :woohoo:
 
Hi everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates. Turns out being a senior about to graduate college is a LOT busier than I anticipated. Since finals and graduation itself are approaching RAPIDLY, I'm going to knock out the last three official updates and do a wrap-up sometime in the next few weeks. Thanks so much for reading along for the past 9 months or so, and enjoy the finale!

ALSO: I have made an Instagram specifically for my College Program! You can follow me @courtneybelledcp. I'll be posting a few countdown pictures in the meantime!!


Chapter 46: Circle of Life

I took the bus over to Animal Kingdom and texted my family, who had just gone in to see Finding Nemo interpreted. On my way over there, I stopped to get a frozen Coke because as you probably deduced, it was HOT. Unfortunately the frozen Coke machine was broken so I moseyed my way to Dinoland.

I caught up with my family right after the show, and they hadn’t eaten lunch yet, so we went to Pizzafari! I just had a slice of my mom’s cheese pizza since I had eaten at MK.

After lunch we briefly parted ways.


Mom: Ky, Emily and I went to meet Safari Minnie and Mickey. I loved Minnie’s shoes, still fashionable even on safari.

14707497573_a3e723e5ea_z.jpg


14608204189_8b4d3ca0b4_z.jpg


We found a FP+ kiosk because Emily wanted to try Kali so we tried for a 4th FP+ but nothing was available. They found them for Primeval Whirl so they rode that. Then we went back to the FP+ kiosk to try for 1 or 2 FP+’s instead of all of us and we were able to get them for Ky and Emily for 4:30, which would work out right after the Lion King show.


Meanwhile, Dad and I did Kali River Rapids! We actually got stopped for a bit on the top of the hill, and we were just baking in direct sunlight. I was actually praying to get soaked because it would cool me off a bit. We got pleasantly splashed so I enjoyed it overall.

After our ride, I went back to the frozen Coke place, and the machine was working! It was delicious. With this, I had had all my favorite Disney snacks, so it was OK to go home the next day.

14499758169_3297498423_z.jpg


We decided to head back to Pizzafari to wait for Mom, Ky, and Em because no way were we wandering around in the blazing heat. Get us to the AC!!!

Once the girls found us, we headed over to Festival of the Lion King to see it interpreted. It was super fun and a great last attraction for me!

14686113252_987fe4cdc3_z.jpg


After that, Mom and I went over to the photo center while Dad, Em, and Ky headed to Kali River Rapids (Ky didn’t want to do it but Emily wanted to). We had an issue with some of our Memory Maker pictures not showing up on the site, and since I had a ton of solo pics from my day at MK I wanted to make sure they showed up in the Memory Maker account! We had to link our bands again, but it was really easy and the CM was great. He told us that he went to Diagon Alley for a soft opening and walked right on to the Gringotts ride. I had been seeing five hour waits on Twitter so he was very happy he didn’t have to wait!


Note from my mom: The CM was nice and got Courtney’s band linked up to mine and told us that when we were at the GF, we should go to the second floor and there was a PP desk there with a guy who could link everyone else’s bands to my account as well. So my advice to anyone with a group with the MM, make sure to check before you leave that all your pictures are there.

In a move that surprises absolutely no one I went over to Guest Relations and pin traded. Then we grabbed the car and pulled it up closer to the entrance so Ky, Em, and Dad didn’t have to walk as far.

Chapter 47: 1900 Park Fare

Next stop was the GRAND FLORIDIAN!

Thank you for being here today!

14500964609_f391a2e922_z.jpg


I walked right into the Grand Floridian and the band was playing “A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes.” It made me SO happy since that song was kind of following me around this trip! It sounded beautiful and I was so happy to hear it.

We checked in for our dinner at…1900 Park Fare. Now, I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of this restaurant. You can read all about that here. I vowed never to set foot in this restaurant again, BUT it was Kylie’s birthday trip and she wanted to go here, so we did.

Family portrait!

14814704153_1e655dcd95_z.jpg


We waited in the lobby for a bit.

14499762749_011c5bb3e3_z.jpg


Soon enough our buzzer went off and we were seated by our waitress, Steph. She was absolutely awesome and totally made up for the service we had last time we were there.

I had a beautiful and delicious strawberry lemonade!

14684025974_5736a2192c_z.jpg


Kylie had pomegranate lemonade and really enjoyed it.

14686116512_56828e7e94_z.jpg


FOOOOOOOD. The pot stickers and rice were REALLY good.

14499761529_1a75bd9c6e_z.jpg


Lady Tremaine was our first visitor! She wanted to know why I was dressed like a mouse, so I explained, “Well, it was all started by a mouse.” She looked SO confused. “What was all started by a mouse?” I gestured around the restaurant. “This was all built by a mouse?!” I can tell she did not believe me. Someone’s got to get over to One Man’s Dream.

Prince Charming came over next. He loved the pictures in the autograph book and noted that he was in his blue outfit like he wore on his wedding day.

14501162797_c2624f9f67_z.jpg


I think we make a nice couple. He's no Aladdin or Green Army Man, but he'll do.

14664599196_7784f3a147_z.jpg


Actually, do you guys want to know my biggest Disney crush? Years ago at Hollywood Studios where Jack Sparrow was, they had a Narnia experience where you could meet Prince Caspian. And oh man. I was in LOVE with him. And my dad informed him of that. And Prince Caspian said we could get married and I could be queen. If any of you do not know who Prince Caspian is, please let me know and I'll dig up the meet and greet pic.


Cinderella was next and while her voice was quiet, she was very chatty! She said we were all beautiful princesses and wanted to know if a Fairy Godmother made our outfits. She also said that Mom must have had a magic wand to make the autograph books.

Chapter 48: A Party In A Dress

Anastasia was next. We LOVE the stepsisters so we immediately started cheering when she came over. She said, “I’m a party in a dress!” She was not happy that she wasn’t wearing a crown in her picture in the autograph book, so she drew one on.

14664597306_a9d7533c82_z.jpg


14500959369_5d37e82b87_z.jpg


14500959059_dc95976c5b_z.jpg


Drizella was our last visitor. She asked us to tell her what didn’t impress us about Cinderella. We said that she was really quiet, and Drizella said that was from talking to mice all the time. She also asked how we felt about cats because she has a cat.

14684430161_def1e79fde_z.jpg


I said I wanted my own picture, and Drizella said, “I wouldn’t want a picture with my sister either!”

14687604885_92016e1cfe_z.jpg


14500957929_dca3d463e9_z.jpg


After that my mom went back up to the buffet and when she came back she was cracking up. The woman in front of us was telling her son that he had to have some turkey, and my mom explained that it was actually ham and not turkey on the buffet. The woman said, “Oh, right. Wrong bird.”



Mom decided not to explain where ham comes from.

DANCING!

Chapter 49: The Least Magical Update

The good news was we got to sleep in this morning. The bad news was we were leaving. We finished packing up the room, took down all the decorations, and headed to the food court.

The accumulation of birthday swag and towel animals:

14687352552_d364857982_z.jpg


14685246254_b67596bf72_z.jpg


14501188387_30f0cc46cc_z.jpg


The food court was an absolute ZOO. I’m so glad that most of the time we go so early because it’s much more pleasant with less people. The CM who rang us up said that the other night a whole tour group came in 5 minutes before closing to order meals. So much respect for the CMs.

After breakfast, we took some pictures around Pop!

14664624976_eaf388e16a_z.jpg


Thanks again for the fabulous shirts, Roni!

14500962570_4bc5a5bd9f_z.jpg


In the car on the way to the airport, I realized that I had forgotten to buy a souvenir—a friend of mine asked me to pick up a Stitch for her sister. Luckily, the Disney store at the airport had it! Huge sigh of relief.

Duffy was excited for his first flight even though it meant leaving Disney.

14501117677_be35158723_z.jpg


Dad was ready to go home.

14706303153_9dbc8693eb_z.jpg


The flight home left on time and was far less eventful than our first flight. I watched more Food Network I’m pretty sure.

We drove back to our house and Emily’s dad picked her up. It was so weird not having her around after a week together! But all good things must come to an end, and so the Sweet And Sassy 16 Trip was over.

Stay tuned to see all the merchandise I bought (spoiler: I bought a LOT) and a wrap-up post!

Since finals and graduation itself are approaching RAPIDLY, I'm going to knock out the last three official updates and do a wrap-up sometime in the next few weeks.

I believe there is also, you know, that upcoming move...

I haven't had a frozen coke yet. I tried once, but surprise surprise, the machine was broken then too. :(

That may be the first Minnie shoe close up I've seen. Good call.

Indeed FotLK would absolutely be a fantastic final show.

So my advice to anyone with a group with the MM, make sure to check before you leave that all your pictures are there.

That is excellent advice for sure. Better safe than sorry.

“A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes.” Love it, and how perfect for your upcoming ADR.

POMEGRANTE LEMONADE!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

Someone’s got to get over to One Man’s Dream.

EVERYONE'S got to get over to One Man's Dream.

I do know who Prince Caspian is, but dig up the picture anyway. I never did do that attraction. Nor the Jack Sparrow one. Oh well.

Aww that is an Anastasia that could never be called ugly. Love the Tremaines.

The woman in front of us was telling her son that he had to have some turkey, and my mom explained that it was actually ham and not turkey on the buffet. The woman said, “Oh, right. Wrong bird.”

... And thus the origin of "When Pigs fly!"

WOW, you all got loaded up with Towel Animals!!!

AWWWWWW, It's Over. :sad: I guess I'd be more heartbroken if I didn't know there was an epic journey rig around the corner. Looking forward to what will be an awesome wrap up I'm sure. :goodvibes
 
I'm following your CP Instagram and really looking forward to seeing all of the pictures!

I have to admit, when I saw Safari Mickey & Minnie, I didn't pay attention to Minnie's shoes ... they're super cute!

I did not know that there was a PP desk at GF ... that's actually a really good thing to know. And we always check at the end of the trip to make sure our pictures are all there (although lately we've been looking online from our phones every night just to see if they're all there).

I love all the 1900 Park Fare pics! I'm glad you had a better experience than last time.
Prince Caspian is certainly a unique Disney crush ...

So ... I don't eat ham ... but at least I know it's not from a bird. Really, people?

I love the pins you got, and I'm looking forward to seeing the souvenir haul. It sounds like it really was an awesome trip!
 
OK, Courtney, I just downloaded Instagram JUST BECAUSE I want to follow along on your DCP!! I have been saying I will never use Instagram when I can just put my pics on Facebook, but you have made me a liar. I hope you're happy :figment:

I LOOOOOVE Frozen Cokes at Disney. Pop used to have a Frozen coke machine that I would visit many times during our trips when suddenly it was almost always out of order and on our last trip, completely gone. :sad: Seriously, such sadness.

Can't believe the trip is over. Sigh. When do you move in for your DCP? I can't wait :mickeyjum :)
 
THANK GOD SOMEBODY ELSE NOTICED MINNIE'S SHOES AT HER AK M&G. SO PRESH.

I don't typically drink soda but that frozen Coke looks really good.

I'll admit that when you said you didn't like 1900PF I broke out into a little cold sweat. Then I read your story from the last TR and I can totally see why you wouldn't. BUT, it looks like you had a good time this trip! So all's well that ends well, right :)?

DUFFY'S LI'L PONCHO! My goodness. How is it possible that your Duffy is so much cuter than every other Duffy I've ever seen? Sigh...

Coming to the end of such a fan-tab-u-lous TR is always so sad. I really enjoyed reading this and I can't wait to read your closing remarks :)
 
Will read the updates in a bit, but first...

See, you know you and Rob's love for Ariel?
While nothing could come close to that for me...
I LOVE Aladdin and get all kinds of starry eyed meeting him.
So I was a bit disappointed.

You grab him and I'll grab her and we'll both head off in different directions.
They'll never notice until it's too late!

I'm not a huge fan of Rice Krispies in my everyday life, but Disney rice krispies are the BEST. I like how they're generally coated in frosting or chocolate.

::yes::

When people ask me, "Hey Courtney, what are you doing for Disney?" I'll just tell them I have to convince people to stay seated and put away their selfie sticks.

Good luck with that!
 
Oh no, the end? :( But, it's totally cool to have a life and be busy. So no hard feelings.

Minnie's shoes are really fashionable, I agree.

I didn't even know they sold frozen coke in AK until this moment? I'll keep this in mind.

1900 Park Fare for dinner is something I'm interested in and I'm glad your experience this time made up for your not so stellar last time. Especially all the awesome character interaction.

You and Charming do make an awesome couple.

"Wrong bird." :rotfl::rotfl:

Oh goodness, a whole tour group. Those poor CMs.

You and Duffy are cuties.

:( I can't believe it's over already. Thank you so much for sharing your trip, it was amazing. Of course, you're going to have an even more amazing time soon!
