It Was a Grand Fantasyland Opening Indeed!

What – The Fantasyland Grand Opening!

When – December 5-7, 2012

Who – Jenell - @GrumpysWife - and Myself!

Why – Well because we could of course! And also, the agency got an invite to the grand opening festivities and awesome owner Pam sent Jenell and I as representatives. The catch was that only one of us could get in to the official festivities, but hey – I had a newly purchased Annual Pass from my November trip, my camera, and a free room at Beach Club with Jenell. I wasn’t complaining! :) Here we are:

Wednesday, December 5th –

We were only going for two nights, so we had to make the best of it! We left crazy early on the first day and came back late on the third day! I was meeting Jenell at the Baltimore airport. I usually fly out of Dulles, which is much closer, but this was good for Jenell and we got an awesome rate on Southwest.

My dear hubby drove me all the way out there before going to work that morning. We left the house at 4 am! Yikes! Jenell arrived a few minutes after me and we had an uneventful flight down. We even landed about 40 minutes early! Yay! We were actually on Magical Express at the time we were scheduled to land, which I think was 8:45 if I remember correctly.

We both caught up on some work on the way to the Beach Club.

On our way back to the room, we stopped for just about my favorite snack on property. These are in a close race with Mickey bars and Dole Whip Floats people. These are amazing. I now present you – the Oreo Bon-Bon.

And while we’re at it, a meme I made for the KK Facebook page. I thought I’d share in case you’re not on Facebook and because I think it’s funny. :D You may see more of these during the report. If you’re not a meme fan, skip ahead!

Yes, I put this Bon Bon directly on the bench and yes I may have eaten it anyway. Don’t judge.

We decided to walk into Epcot for some lunch. Stormalong Bay was quiet!

Thanks for reading, Shannon! :)

That oreo bon bon looks amazing! I'm kind of sad I didn't try one. :(

That's okay, Tracy. Just means you have to go back. :)

Thank you Ashley! It was good swag!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who would have eaten it. :)

I really did not need to be made aware of that oreo bonbon. Seriously... this forum is just against my weight loss and for making me fat! LOL! :D

I am seriously jealous of the swag... specificaly the pin thing. I have one of those I got downtown years ago where it's a drawing of cindy castle with characters in pin form. One of my very favorites!
