Trip Report Somehow I'll make a fan out of you - January 2018 COMPLETED

blreinsel · Feb 25, 2018

FINALLY caught up. I've been seriously slacking on reading TR's. :cautious:

So happy we share the same feelings about HEA. :inlove:

It gets me right in the feels EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I found a more upbeat version of it on YouTube that I think is going to be the song that plays when we walk into our reception. :inlove:

I'm dead set on it... just have to get Dylan completely on board.

I love everything about BOG and the Beauty and the Beast area! Definitely my favorite place in all of WDW. :inlove:

HEA seriously is my favorite show! I bet it's even better for you since that was the first show you saw after getting engaged!! Maybe we can have that in common one day

We journeyed out of the wild, wild, west and made way for a futuristic part of town, but first a pit stop at the bathrooms!

... And we were greeted with this long FP line. What gives?!

???
MK was getting busy.. I thought January was supposed to be slow!! :cry:

iCan was out meeting. He came up to me and we had a GREAT interaction, I wish I had recorded it.
iCan: Are you waiting for Space Mountain, princess?
Me: Yes!
iCan: I take one look at you and I am out of this world! You're gorgeous!! Gotta go!
It was so cute and fun!

Our names popped up but I guess I didn't get the picture in time LOL

Channeling our inner @Tuvalu ... Daniel was like, "Why are we doing this??" because internet friends... duh?? :hilarious:

If you didn't know, in the gift shop after Space Mountain, you can get your picture taken in the photo booth and then scan your magic band. This was so cute! I was glad I remembered it was there.

After our trip in space, we did what any good Disney fan would do....

Purple Wall Selfie :joyfull:

You can see my beautiful rose gold Minnie earrings, if only I had ears to match :cautious:

Up next: more MK!

MK Con't:

We walked through the hub to head over to our next FP.

Can you guess where???

We rocked our car so much and the people behind us were also helping to rock our cart! It was the best ride I've ever had on Mine Train. I love this ride and will not let the haters stop me

Next we hit up an oldie but a goodie, PhilharMagic! I also really love this show.

Unfortunately, my glasses were kinda smudged or something and so the 3D was pretty blurry. Oh well!

Next we grabbed a snack, which ended up being yet another first for me :joyfull:

It was pretty good! We facetimed one of Daniel's brothers and just hung out for a while.
After we were done, we headed over to Pirates! There's so much construction going on here, apparently for Club 33?? I need the RoL stalker to stalk this! @prfctlyximprct

Up next: more MK

MK Con't:

Continues to be the worst ride photo ever.... :hilarious:

We exited our adventure with the Pirates and headed back to Main Street for some pictures.

We also got some PP pictures

Then we headed to a new favorite, Monsters Inc Laugh Floor (which has a very unfortunate acronym LOL)

It was nearing the time to eat, so we grabbed some food at Pinocchio's.

I had the flatbread and Daniel had the chicken nuggets. Have I mentioned we are not adventurous eaters? :joyfull:

We then headed to Jungle Cruise, where Skipper Jonathan led us deep into the jungle. I love this ride and all the corny jokes that follow.
He was really awesome and super funny!

I was very happy to see the Rhino in his rightful place!

Up next: new snacks and more MK!

I'm just now realizing that :hilarious:

I guess I haven't put it together because no one uses it (I hope). It is funny though.

If you think Monsters has a bad acronym just wait until Toy Storyland opens and we get Alien Swirling Saucers!

I thought we already had that with All-Star Sports

Goes great with the acronym for Festival of the Arts

Haha, but no. The Monsters Inc acronym is a heck of a lot worse imo.

You can never end your report it’s all I have left!! Lol

And I will get stalking! Currently stalking what’s going on in the UK pavilion and trying to sell my soul for 2017 Flower and Garden Ears

Friday, January 19th con't:
So I mentioned new snacks. Some might think that its a SIN that I waited this long to try the ever-popular DOLE WHIP!!

The line at Aloha Isle was so long, even the mobile order was super backed up. I knew they were popular but dang... :bored:

We got one swirl and one regular.
My opinion? They were... okay. I know, I know! I'm such a bad Disney fan!! They just weren't speaking to me - but then again, I really don't like pineapple that much, so I guess it makes sense. I'm going to try them again and try a citrus swirl just to make sure I'm not missing out :hilarious:

We stopped in the stores along Main Street, where I bought a purple spirit jersey (and I am actually wearing it right now as I type LOL)

Then we made our way out to change before we had a full night at MK!

Said spirit jersey pictured below

Once we got to MK, we grabbed our lanyards for Disney After Hours. If you've never heard of DAH, it is described on the website, "Be among a limited number of Guests to enjoy a unique, 3-hour park experience—featuring more than 25 popular attractions and Character Greetings, with little-to-no wait!"

Basically it is a Halloween party without the Halloween aspect! These are pretty popular now and I think that they all are sold out for this year!

We had some time, so we went to check out MILF.... :hilarious:

HEA was about to start, so we grabbed some pretzels to snack on. MK was insanely busy this night and it took like 20 mins to get a pretzel... so annoying LOL

The worst pretzel picture ever :hilarious:

I actually took some pictures of HEA this night!

Up next: HEA & DAH!

Friday con't:

No surprise, I cried AGAIN... Disney just makes me emotional, okay??

It was officially the start of DAH (it starts at 8pm but with HEA, we were moving around 8:20) so we headed to our first ride, BTMRR!

LOL I should just delete this picture

I swear, it's better in the dark!!
Then we headed into Fantasyland to do all the rides we hadn't done before (on this trip).

First up, Peter Pan!

Then Pooh...

Into Storybook Circus....

Flew around with Dumbo....

and then hit up the Barnstormer!

We were doing really well with our time during DAH. I'm so glad we didn't do Pirates this night, since it ended up breaking down and people were stuck for like 40 minutes! I wonder how many refunds Guest Services gave out!!

Up next: more DAH!

becca_ · Feb 28, 2018

MK Con't:

Dumbo selfie :joyfull:

Then we headed to Tomorrowland Speedway!

We got in line and waited like 10 minutes before we turned around and left. We didn't want to wait and I heard a CM say something was broken but they would fix it soon. No thank you!! See ya, losers :hilarious:

We grabbed some pop/water and headed to Space Mountain!

We rode 2x (I'll include our PP pictures from this day/ride photos in a separate post).

Then we were off to fight Zurg! I guess we can't get enough of this ride :hilarious:

I won again... No big deal

Grabbed more water and some Mickey Bars!! They're better when they're "free" (included with the price of admission for DAH)

We ate quickly and headed to Mine Train! It was posted at 30 minutes but we only waited like 5.
I felt really bad for the people behind us. It was someone's Bachelorette party and one of the bridesmaids got a really bad bloody nose while we were waiting. I quickly went into "mom mode" and grabbed her some tissues and hand sanitizer out of my bag since no one she was with had any!
