For All Who Come to this Happy Place: My 1st Trip to DL for the POTC World Premiere!

OMG !!! :scared1: I cannot B E L I E V E you got to see him.....you were SO CLOSE to him......and I agree......HE DID LOOK AT YOU, I would have fainted :faint: right away
 
Words escape me!! What an incredible moment, Lindsey. :goodvibes I have to say that I've always had so much respect for Johnny Depp because of his humility. You can tell he truly appreciates the fans. I think that is his most endearing quality. :flower3:

I can't wait to hear more about the premiere! :banana:
 
Thank you so much for your TR, I cannot believe it took me so long to find this, but it was so worth reading it all!!
 
Thank you so much for sharing that special moment. My DD is praying a lot harder now for a 4th Pirates movie so I can take her to the premiere!!
 
Oh my gosh, Lindsay, he DID look right at you! :goodvibes What an incredible moment...thank you so much for sharing all the details with us. I can't wait for the next installment!

My uncle works in the film industry and has worked with many of the greats, including Orlando Bloom. I've heard many stories and seen many pics of various celebs. However, he has yet to work with Johnny (my fav!), so I'm living vicariously through your stories. Keep up the great work! :thumbsup2
 
I'm speechless, jealous aaarghhh OMG OMG can't believe you actually got to see Mr Depp.....swoon

He looked right at you!!!!

I love the photo with all the women in the background taking pics lol

Right-ho can now e-mail the link to your trippie to DD...she is so going to nag because we weren't there lol
 
Great pictures and videos!! it is relaly funny to look at the background of the pictures and see all the cameras out in the crowd.

BTW he did look right at you and I can not wait to read more!!!!
 
Okay I am so addicted to your trippie that I actually stayed up to see if you were going to have Johnny on tonight. I cannot believe he actually waved to you! I would have crawled out of my skin or passed out. When I met Capt. Jack at disneyworld I was really nervous like I was meeting the real thing! I am so excited for you and I love your pics. It makes me love him even more because he is so thankful to his fans and so humble. I just love the way he puts his hands together and bows. You are so lucky to have seen this and thank you so much for sharing this with us so we could see this through your eyes.:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Off Johnny topic did you try any character meals there? I was just wondering if they were any good. BTW my dh wanted to thank you because if there is another Pirate movie, we will be sharing pavement with you hopefully no roach motels though.


Thanks for staying up to be the first to see the Johnny update! :yay: Oh, I just love the way he puts his hands together and bows to with his shy little smile! Awwww...I could just melt! :love: He is so wonderful to his fans! Love him!

We did got to a character meal and it will be coming up in the Trippie! :love: Haha...I hope there is another Pirate movie as well! I'll take any thing with Johnny and Captain Jack! I'll pass on the motel too! :rotfl2: I think it may be hard to talk my DH into it again, but I know I'd be there! :goodvibes


:love: :love: :love:

OMGosh Lindsey! He DID look at you!!! I felt like I was there with you! You did an awesome job recounting all the details. He is gorgeous!!! Were you weak in the knees?

I did hear/read where they (Disney) really rushed him through and he was upset about it. He really enjoys meeting and greeting his fans and always takes the time to sign autographs and take pictures. I read where there was none of that and he didn't like it. Would you agree that he was rushed on through?

You are a very lucky girl. But you already knew that!:goodvibes

Thanks so much for sharing your very special moment with us.:woohoo:

I am looking forward to the next installment.

It is very late or should I say early...It is off to bed now...perhaps I'll dream of my favorite pirate!:cloud9:

Awwww...thanks! :goodvibes Oh, I was definitely weak in the knees and freaking out! I'm still mad at myself for not snapping a picture when he was right there looking at me! :sad2: I was too caught up in the moment!

Yes, it is true that Disneyland rushed him though and we were all mad and so was he. Johnny actually cancelled doing some of the red carpet interviews, so he could spend more time with the fans. When he did stop to sign a few autographs, they would pull him away. I know many people complained to Disneyland, especially considering how long we were all out there and waiting. I know Johnny did the best he could and walked the red carpet as slowly as possible, so everyone could see him and get a picture. He was super sweet and I don't blame him at all. Disneyland didn't have their stuff together and I still can't believe that after 3 premieres! :confused3 :confused:

I still have a lot more Trippie to come! :banana:
 
I have goosebumps!!! Lindsey thats awesome!!!!!!! I can't believe he looked right at you that makes the whole 17 hrs worth while right there. :love: :love: You are always so lucky with the celebs :banana:


haha I love QVC too! Apolo was so nice in the minute I got to talk with him. I told him I was such a fan and I was so excited when he won his gold and that I watched all his events. He was so nice and he thanked me for watching and he would be working hard for his next olympics. I seriously almost died when they said I would be on! :love: :love:

Can't wait for more trippie....I gotta go get rid of these goosbumps now :lmao:


It was definitely worth it and amazing those 17 hours just disappear when you're looking into Johnny Depp's eyes! :rotfl2: It's like that never happened! :rotfl: It was a wonderful experience and I am so glad I got to be a part of it! :goodvibes

That sounds like such a wonderful moment with Apolo! I just love him and he's just too cute for words! :yay:

More Trippie on the way! :woohoo:

OMG!!! :banana: :banana: Johnny!!!! I felt like I was right there with you when I watched the video. He did look right at you.

What's up with Orlando Bloom blowing by in a crowd of peeps?? A bit odd when Johnny strolled and let people take pictures.

Can't wait for more!
TK


Yeah, I know no one was too pleased with Orlando and how he decided to walk the red carpet. Pretty rude to the fans! I know it was a big disappointment when there was no need for him to rush. :confused3 Oh, well! I wasn't there for him! :rotfl2:

It was such a magical moment with Johnny and I still can't believe it actually happened! :cloud9:

Words escape me!! What an incredible moment, Lindsey. :goodvibes I have to say that I've always had so much respect for Johnny Depp because of his humility. You can tell he truly appreciates the fans. I think that is his most endearing quality. :flower3:

I can't wait to hear more about the premiere! :banana:


Awwww...that's just why I love him too! I respect him so much as an actor and a person. He's just such an amazing talent and then he's just so wonderful to the fans! He knows it's the fans that got him where he is and it's so wonderful that he appreciates it! I could go on and on and on...:rotfl:
 
Thank you so much for your TR, I cannot believe it took me so long to find this, but it was so worth reading it all!!

Thanks for joining my Trippie and I'm glad you found it! :thumbsup2 There is still more to come for you to enjoy! popcorn::

I'm speechless, jealous aaarghhh OMG OMG can't believe you actually got to see Mr Depp.....swoon

He looked right at you!!!!

I love the photo with all the women in the background taking pics lol

Right-ho can now e-mail the link to your trippie to DD...she is so going to nag because we weren't there lol

I love seeing all the crowd in the photos too and hearing all of going nuts in the background! It's too funny, but so much fun! :rotfl:

There is still more to come, so DD can keep enjoying! :thumbsup2
 
Great Trip Report. I love the Pirate Movies and finally made it to the theater Wednesday to see it. :happytv: That would have been awesome to see all of those stars. :cool1: The only bad part of seeing the movie was at the end when Elizabeth was walking off the ship she was starting to tell Jack that it would not work between them and then it skipped to the next chapter when she is on the island with Will. :confused3 Most people did not realize it, but I knew something had to have been said between them. Can you let me know what happened. If you dont want to give it away on here, can you PM me please.
 
Your trip reports are always SO entertaining. But, add Johnny Depp and... BEST! TRIP REPORT! EVER! Color me jealous. :) It's a shame they didn't give him a chance to sign autographs, though. :sad2:

I'm not sure if you can top Johnny, but I still can't wait to read more!

:goodvibes
 
Lindsey,

AWSOME!!!!!! just awsome. i can't beleive it, he did, he looked right at you! OMG, that was so worth all of your agony of waiting for 15 hours. and i just loved the videos,too!!! can't wait fo next instalment!!

~sue
 
WOW Lindsey...........I loved seeing Johnny Depp through your eyes!!!!
That is soooooo awesome that he looked at you & also that even though he was being "handled".......he took his time so people could at least see him. He is just such a cool person.

I bet you are still riding on :cloud9:.

I recently had a dream come true & met someone I have loved since the age of 12/13 & he was so great & so sweet & it really made me love him even more.......so I know how great it is for someone to be as good or better than you expect them to be!!!!!!!!!!

Keep the good stuff coming & thanks for always bringing us right along with you.

That stinks! I can't believe that happened! I hope they gave you a refund or a free ticket at least! I'm pretty sure it's Jack that actually stops her and says something like, "We've already done that once. Let's not do it again." It's something along those lines and with his actions. I know she says good-bye to everyone and then I think it does go to her on the island waiting for Will to return. If anyone can help fill in details, please do! :goodvibes

Do you mind telling us who? :goodvibes I am very curious now! :)
 
That's a Wrap!
Grand Californian Hotel- Storyteller's Cafe



I couldn't believe the day had finally come to an end. It was such an amazing experience and the crowd was leaving as quickly as we all came in. All the stars had made their way down the red carpet and were ready to see the premiere of the film. People had been waiting back their outside in the cold for the premiere for close to four hours! :scared1: That's including the celebrities that were all back there waiting!

We were in the process of getting through the crowds to make our exit and people were ripping down the "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" banners to take them. Cast Members were chasing people down to get them back. :rotfl2: DH & I were cold and exhausted, so we made our exit down Main Street.

I had actually already made dinner reservations for very late over at the Storyteller's Cafe at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel. I was already prepared and I am so glad I was because we were starving! We hadn't really eaten anything all day. We were actually about a hour earlier than I expected to be, so we were hoping we could get seated early.

We left Disneyland and made our way through Downtown Disney. I was so excited to go to the Grand Californian Hotel because it's will all the cast and celebrities were staying for the premiere! Johnny was also staying there with his family. They were not letting anyone into the hotel, unless your name was on the list.

We found the entrance to the hotel, which is strangely all connected with Downtown Disney and part of the hotel is actually right above the stores and restaurants. It's really weird, how it's all connected together. We found the entrance and had to walk-up and our name was on the list to get in, since we did have dining reservations! ;)

Disney's Grand Californian Hotel reminded me a lot of the Wilderness Lodge, but a little bit barer and more open to me. It was quite dark in there too, so my pictures didn't come out too great.

n25002324_32366461_7783.jpg


My first stop was the bathroom after being trapped and standing up for the past 5 hours! I didn't realize how bad my legs and feet were killing me until I actually moved. :rotfl: I looked in the mirror and my nose was beat red from being burnt! I looked a bit frazzled; let's just say that! :goodvibes I got myself fixed and together, and we did some quick exploring of the hotel.

We made our way over to the Storyteller's Cafe and asked if we could be seated early. They got us in seated pretty quickly and we were so happy we didn't have to do anymore waiting!

n25002324_32366462_8084.jpg


The restaurant was really nice and they also had a buffet, which I didn't know about! That made us very happy! It was all gourmet food items and it all looked fantastic!

n25002324_32366463_8328.jpg


We were so happy to finally sit down and we were just beat! Our waitress brought us some of their fantastic bread and we had that scarfed down in seconds!

47b7d923b3127cce86df6d9a6b7800000026101AaMWrNw3aMW


We both got the buffet, but then we both kinda regretted it because we were too tired to get up and down to go the buffet! :rotfl: The food was really good, but it got to the point where we were just too tired to eat.

47b7d923b3127cce86df6d83ea5100000026101AaMWrNw3aMW


It was finally time to call it a day and we had our fingers crossed that the shuttles would still be running. I don't think it would have been possible to make that long walk back down the highway. Luckily, the shuttles were there and we were so relieved! We got back to Motel Hell and DH fell asleep almost immediately and I was on the phone with my Mom giving her every Johnny detail! :rotfl: Then, the walls of the motel started shaking and it sound like gun fire going off all around. It was actually the fireworks going off over at Disneyland for everyone at the premiere of the film. DH shot out of bed and didn't know what was going on. I couldn't believe how loud the fireworks were and we were pretty far away. I finally got to bed after all the commotion and the rock hard bed at Motel Hell felt pretty good that night! :lmao:




There's still more fun to come! popcorn::
 
I will agree with the rest of your fan club

----Johnny looked right at you!:cool2:

I loved all the pics of him!:love: He is a cutie ALTHOUGH I am more of a Orlando Bloom lover!:love: But I am not picky-I'll take either!:rotfl:

I hope someday to stay at the GCH! It looks so pretty inside and I love how close it is to the parks and DTD!:thumbsup2

I am really looking forward to your next update!popcorn::
