Since I don't have much planning to do at the moment, and all I've really been doing is looking at my past Disney trip pictures obsessively I thought I'd share a few memories.
When I was younger I was never much of a character person, but they've grown on me exponentially. I think meeting Thor at Disneyland in 2013 helped with that. So when I took my college graduation trip to Disney World in 2014 I knew I needed to meet Gaston. My friend and I loved it so much that I visited him a total of 3 times that trip and ended up with some great pictures.
He was SO close to me and basically backed me into a corner. I was DYING, it was so intense.
This picture gives a great idea of just how close he was. I'm surprised I survived it. I was shaking afterward, and I had never experienced that before haha!
Then in 2016 I spent my 29th birthday at Disney World with another friend and my dad. On my actual birthday I got a Magical Moment! When we boarded the bus to Epcot the bus driver asked if I wanted to have a celebration when we got there. I wasn't sure what he was getting at, or if he was just trying to be cute about the park, but of course I agreed. So when we get there, they have a red carpet and balloons at the bus stop! Some lovely CMs let us pick out some little trinkets from a box (they had costume jewelry and pirate stuff), gave us paper FastPasses and took our photo in front of the bus which had Magical Moment scrolling on it. It was SUCH a neat experience and extra cool because it happened on my actual birthday. Later, they sent a printed photo to the room and just yesterday I discovered there were cute little transportation cards in it too. Oh, and they let me keep a balloon - which I gave to a child who looked like they needed cheering up in the park.
Another great moment happened at Hoop Dee Doo when one of the performers (I can't remember her name) decided to incorporate my dad into the show. She started flirting with him early in and it never stopped. It was so hilarious
He even got a kiss at the end!
