*COMPLETE!!!!*THIS IS THE WILDERNESS!!! A Selfie-tastic April/May 2014 Teacake Adventure

[jediprincess23]

Joining in!! I just binge-read your February TR and loved it, and this one has a great start as well!! I love the high-five game, it sounds like so much fun! I would love to take a trip with a group of friends sometime. (Just like the frumps!!) I also saw that you like Once Upon a Time.... I love it too! I'm unhealthily obsessed!

You are awesome! Thanks for not only reading this TR but my last one too! I am LOVING yours too! Hope to see you around! OH! and I'm so glad to have another OUAT lover around! I barely know anyone who watches it!

"That Top Is Absolutely Lovely... And Then There's YOU."
After Fantasmic, we decided that us girls were going to head to TSM since we had a FP+!! We stopped on the way at the gift shop outside Voyage of the Little Mermaid because there was something I NEEDED

A new crown!!! If you read my last trip report, you may have noticed the Aurora crown I was wearing! I was having some serious issues with it! For one thing, it was squeezing the brains out of my head! and it was just really tiny! I also got a lanyard but I didn't take a picture of it! (Sorry!) but I wore it everyday so you'll see it in eventually!
The gift shop had a lovely frozen poster <3

Then it was finally time to head over to Pixar Place!

We tried to use our fastpasses but a CM told us since it was only 30 mins until park closing, we had to go through stand-by
BUT it was only 30 mins!!! I thought I might as well enjoy this, who knows the next time I'll see TSM with only a 30min stand-by!!

GASP!! I just had the BEST idea!!! You know how people do lock-ins at churches and things, where you're locked in a building all night? I think they should do that in the TSM building!!!!! I WOULD PAY TO DO THAT!! Great. Now I'm going to be disappointed when this never happens
OKAY. Back on track!!!
Selfie Count: 2

There were two girls in front of us in this line that thought we were ridiculous with our little accents and excessive amounts of selfies
Selfie Count: 3

Somewhere along the way Kat got the idea to take a selfie with all the people in line which, is BRILLIANT! It was hilarious though because every time we would ask someone if they wanted to take a selfie with us they would always be like "Oh, do you want us to take your picture?" and we were always like "No do you want to be in our selfie" and they would be like "Uhhhh... okay?"
Selfie Count: 4

And then there's the obligatory 3-D glasses selfie
Selfie Count:5

The line went super fast (especially with all those selfies!) we were at the bottom of the stairs in no time!!

It was Laura and Emily against Katherine and Me! This time, I went with the pull-the-trigger-as-fast-as-humanly-possible until your arm turned to jello approach! I

After we got off, we decided that we possibly had enough time to ride TOT again if we hurried. So, everyone started running (literally) over there!
I had to get a picture of this on the way though! I wonder if they are actually playing episodes in that building...

We got through the line lightning fast and had an amazing ride! When we ran down to get out ride photo a CM was kinda just roaming around and she came up to Laura and was like (read in a perfect 1930's old Hollywood accent) "That top is absolutely LOVELY" *Looks Emily up down* "And then there's YOU" We were DYING! She started to walk away but she saw that we were laughing so hard she pointed to Katherine and Emily and was like "You two are too match-y match-y" LOL
After we headed outside, we realized we had time to ride TOT one more time!!! So, we ran back trough the que and watched the movie again! There was this one girl in there when they say something about how your room isn't ready yet she was like "Ugh! I'm going to have to send them an email about that"

Thanks! I didn't think I'd like talking to strangers and taking selfies with them (I imagine I'm a anti-social teenager ) BUT once you have the courage to do it, it's really fun and you end up with a hilarious picture!
ps. HUGE thanks for commenting! I find myself obsessing over how many comments I get... it's probably unhealthy how many times I check my TR each day!

 

[jediprincess23]

And Then, They Saw The Error Of Their Ways
*Okay, this post is going to be quite wordy SORRY!! BUT what happens is quite hilarious*
Our elevator operator was AWESOME! She saw Katherine's birthday button and called her "Queen Katherine" and when she closed the doors, she had to reopen them just to tell everyone that "Queen Katherine was in charge" and Katherine was like "I'll take good care of you.. OR WILL I?!" Katherine needs to work at TOT!!!
And while we were going up and seeing all the creepy things in the hallway, Kat's mom called her and I was like "Tell your Mum you can't talk because you're about to die"
The people in front of us (who at first thought we were just a bunch of annoying teenagers) started laughing really hard and in that moment, as Katherine says "They saw the error of their ways and liked us!"

I have to say, that was definitely my favorite TOT ride ever!!!
And when we finally arrived back on solid ground, THE CUTEST LITTLE JR. CM's opened our doors!! THEY WERE SO CUTE!!!!!
We were trying to get them to look scary but I'm not sure if they understood us LOL

After we said goodbye to those little cuties, we had to run back to the MM counter because our ride photo had already gone off the screen! The girl helping us was so sweet that we just needed another selfie!! Looks like we got photobombed
Selfie Count: 6

Also, being the teenage girls that we are, we were always on lookout for cute guys (Yeah, yeah I know, you can roll your eyes! Go ahead I won't judge ) We had to come up with a code name for whenever we saw one so from now on, if you hear of a Mickey Mouse you know what I'm really talking about
SO, I say all this to say, there was definitely a Mickey Mouse working at the counter that night
I was eventually pulled out of TOT and we headed back to meet up with the 'Rents!

We were walking down Sunset blvd. with that group of people who thought we were hilarious on TOT and the girl starts talking in a British accent and the guy she was with was like "Why are you talking in a British accent you aren't British!" and the girl was like "neither are they!" BUSTED!

The 'Rents called and told us to come over to Mickey's hat for pictures!

"Trucks are NOT For Climbing!"
After taking pictures, we headed back into some shops to look around!
One of these pictures was necessary
Selfie Count:7

The CM standing behind the counter thought we were hilarious!
We headed out of the store and onto Hollywood Blvd!
This is SO adorable

We saw this truck while we were walking out, and Katherine's mom told us to get on it and she'd take our picture!
But out of nowhere comes this CM and he's like "Woah! Trucks are NOT for climbing!" so we started slowly backing away but then he saw Katherine's birthday button and was like "Oh! it's your birthday?" (We had a lot of what I called bipolar Cast Members! Like one second they were either scolding us or being super nice and then the next moment they were acting the complete opposite! )
Anyway, This CM did a very impressive Mickey Mouse voice and started telling Katherine happy birthday!
And then he offered to take our picture! (He obviously saw the error of his ways )

After that, we headed out of the park and got on our bus! We made it back to our cabin, showered, and went to sleep!
Daily selfie Count: 7
High-five total: 27

"No Blinking On Mission Space!"
We woke up and were happy to see that the sun was shining nice and bright! We got ready to go and went out to take pictures because we were Disney Bounding Frozen!
(If you have never heard of Disney Bounding, it's a way for us grown people to dress up, minus the itchy costumes!)
We have Olaf, Elsa, Anna, and Sven!

We tried to pose like our characters! Everyone else got it but I look like an axe murderer

While we were taking pictures, Katherine found a new use for one of the outdoor lights on the cabin! A banana holder!

We hopped on our bus and were on merry way!
We got through bag check pretty quick and everyone made it through the gate without a hitch.. except me! WOMP!
For some reason, my MB would scan but when I put my finger on the scanner, it didn't go through! I tried like 10 times using different fingers and my other hand and nothing worked! Finally, the CM sent me to another one with an Ipad and he got me through with one scan! THANK GOODNESS!

WOW now that I look at these pictures again, we had A LOT of pins!
I was SO excited to get to be in EPCOT for the Flower and Garden Festival!!

First order of business: Mission Space!!!

We were going orange!
This was my first time on this! I really liked it! I wasn't expecting it to feel so realistic! I don't think Emily really liked it as much though! She got a little motion sick! But she was a trooper! Gotta love our little Sven!
Next we headed over to Test Track!

We were in the FP line but it was loooooong!
There was this adorable old lady behind us who was celebrating her 84th birthday in Disney and she was riding TT!!! I hope I'm half as awesome as she is on my 84th birthday!
We finally made it around to make our cars!
Here's mine and Emily's awesome car!

And Laura's and Katherine's!

After they let us in the next room, we decided it was selfie time!
Selfie Count: 8

After eating about a whole bag of pretzel crisps, we were in line to board our car! We asked the two other people who were going to ride with us if they wanted to pose for the ride photo but they didn't speak English! So they probably thought we were super strange! Eh, what else is new?!
No dancing!

We had a great ride and thankfully I wasn't whipping Emily with my luscious locks like I did the last time i rode TT
This ride photo was a complete fail but I post it just so you can laugh at us LOL

Laura and Katherine beat us!

After riding, we decided to test out some cars!

HELLO I AM HERE (finally!)

I want that Sam the Eagle pin! He's my fave.

Fort Wilderness looks beautiful! I love that room!

That's one of the crazy things about the new turnstiles, people can just stroll right in. Thankfully they got that sorted out!

I'm glad you liked Voyage of the Little Mermaid! It's been one of my favorites ever since I was small, I just love the puppets in Under the Sea.

YES Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is one of my ABSOLUTE favorites. If it were just a minute or two longer it would be my favorite ride, but it's a little too short for my liking. I'm glad you loved it though!

Oh my gosh I'm dying at the little CMs. SO CUTE.

Princess duct tape is a thing I need in my life immediately.

I love the Frozen Disneybound! My sister and her friend have Disneybounds planned for every day of our July trip haha. I have a couple I may wear but I have so many Disney shirts that I feel like those have to be put to good use haha.

FABULOUS TR so far! I'm excited to hear about more of your adventures!

 

[Villainess]

I'm joining in! My DD (7 1/2) is reading along with me and she has already decided she wants to bring friends when she is older bc you girls are 'having a blast' (her words).

Love the group selfies!

Can't wait to read more.

 

[disnemma]

ps. HUGE thanks for commenting! I find myself obsessing over how many comments I get... it's probably unhealthy how many times I check my TR each day!

No problemo!! I love reading your TR! Haha, I do the same thing.... it's kind of embarrassing!

Those ToT mini-CMs are ADORABLE!! Do you know why they were there?!

The Mickey Mouse thing is really clever! And now whenever I see a cute guy at Disney I'll think of him as a Mickey Mouse!

How weird! I've stood on the truck before and haven't ever gotten in trouble... whoops!

I LOVE your Frozen Disneybounds! I'm definitively going to have to Disneybound the next time I go to the parks.

I had a problem with the finger scanner too! I forgot that I had used my index finger the whole time, and one day I used my thumb instead and got stopped. I was so nervous that they wouldn't let me into the parks! But we sorted it out. That's odd -- I wonder what was wrong when you went through?

So many pins!! You guys look like the Frumps, all ready to trade!

You're brave to go on the Orange side of MS! My brother made me do it one time and I felt sick for the rest of the day.

THE DANCING PEOPLE! I LOVE THE NO DANCING SIGNS!!

Great updates!! Can't wait for more!

 

[I_Luv_Stitch]

Loving your TR so far!
All these selfies are so cute, and getting others to be in them is such a neat idea!
Love your high fiving game, can't believe you got to 27 just in one afternoon/evening!!!
Your Epcot day outfits are so cute! Loving the frozen theme, and such a unique and subtle way of dressing up!
Also you're so good at writing, both this TR and your last are so well written!
Can't wait to read more

Thank you!! This is one awesomely long comment!! Like I said to Courtneybelle above, I hope one day our trips will overlap so we can actually meet in the parks! You seem like so much fun! I see from your countdown that you're heading down to Disney in July!!! SO JELLY! I miss it so much already! I hope you have a fantastic trip and I can't wait to hear all about it!

Loving your TR so far!

I'm Gunna Be The World Showcase Hobo!!
*I found this recently on youtube and thought you guys would enjoy! Play this while you're reading my TR or just when you need a little Disney in your day! Enjoy! (Click Here)*

After we tried some cars out for size, we went into the TT gift shop! We spotted a CM with a lanyard and we wanted to trade with him! This guy was on a roll! everything we said he would turn into a pun
Like, when we gave him a pin and would say "Keep your back" he would turn around and say "I have my back!"
You, my sir should be a Jungle Cruise skipper!
After we traded with him (I do have pictures of the pins I traded, it just took me a while to actually find one to trade!) we headed towards the Seas With Nemo and Friends!
But on the way we saw Lightning McQueen and had to get a picture with him! A kind stranger took our picture!

We walked through MouseGear where, I noticed they had just put a fresh coat of paint on the doors! Disney never ceases to amaze me on how well they maintain their parks!!

We made it to The Seas and were looking around for Katherine's parents!

We found them and Kat's mom took our picture!

It was starting to get HOT! I was so glad to be get on the ride where it was nice and dark! I got to ride with Princess Katherine!

IN THE BIG BLUE WORRRRLLLDDDD

Ohhh, I just love this ride!
After we left, it was time for something I had been waiting my whole life for.... STARBUCKS!!!!! YASS!

And on top of having the world's most magical drink in the most magical place, THEY FINALLY BROUGHT BACK MY MOST FAVORITE DRINK OF ALL TIME!!! The Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappe!!

One of my friends told me I should start ordering my "tall" frappes in a "venti" sized cup and having the extra space filled with whipped cream! GENIUS!!
I wasn't sure if things could get anymore perfect! (spoiler alert: THEY DID)

We decided to start heading toward the WS for lunch!
But we stopped on the way over for some pictures!

OBSESSED with the topiaries

The World Showcase is like the most perfect thing EVER!! Can I be a World Showcase hobo? Can we make this a thing?! Yes? Okay forget my dream of being friends with princess Aurora I'M GOING TO BE A WS HOBO!!!

Some of you may know that on my last trip to Disney I discovered the amazing-ness of the "Kringla bakeri og Kafe" lunch! So when they asked me if I had any suggestions of course that was the first thing out of my mouth!! And so that's where we were heading!

Oh Norway, you look so different without your Anna and Elsa line!

The smell coming out of this place is ALMOST as delicious as the Main St. Confectionery!

LOOK AT THE FROZEN DESSERTS AHHHHHHHH!!!

Our cashier was really awesome! We were asking him where he was from and he was telling how he got to Disney and everything! We asked him to teach us how to say "I'm hungry" in Norwegian! Because, of course if I was ever in Norway that would be the first thing I would need to know how to say LOL
We kept butchering the pronunciation though! He kindly wrote it down for us!

[courtneybelle]

Hollye, you are too sweet I am hoping and praying to do the DCP in the fall of 2015 and I want to meet a lot of DISers then, including you!!!

The Caramel Ribbon Crunch frappe is the ONLY drink I like at Starbucks. You have excellent taste and I like the whipped cream trick!

I support your dream of becoming a WS hobo.

I NEED OLAF SNACKS.

 

[jediprincess23]

Donald Duck is the Sass Master
We said goodbye to the CM and headed outside to eat!
Here's what we got! We got the Ham and Apple sandwiches (Laura and I shared) and then of course I had to have my school bread!!

I feel like this is my Frump induction picture!! DEER FACE

School Bread is definitively a popular snack in EPCOT but what I found out while writing my last TR is that no one really knew what the inside of School Bread looked/tasted like!

So there ya go folks! contrary to popular belief, School Bread isn't completely filled with cream! Only in the middle! I STRONGLY suggest you try this next time you're in Disney! It's SO good!!
HEY! I knew I traded a pin with that CM in the TT gift shop!!

After getting our bellies nice and full and making a bathroom break, Katherine's mom called and told us to come to Mexico to meet Donald!!
On the way out of Norway we saw a little girl dressed up as Belle (I really wanted to make an effort to say hello to little girls dressed up like princesses and call them by name!) So we were like "Hello Belle! You look lovely today!" It was always so cute because the kids would either be bashful or wouldn't acknowledge us but the parents would always call after us like "THANK YOU!" lol!
We headed over to Mexico and got in line for Donald! We met him in no time!
Donald definitely had some sass going on! We all had t-shirts for him to sign and he was VERY set on not having a piece of cardboard in between the shirt when he signed them!

Donald was so done with us! #SassyDuck

The sky was getting SUPER dark! Honestly, I didn't have a horrible issue with a the rain! It cooled everything off and emptied out the park!

We decided to go into the pyramid!

First things first, We all got Duffy's!

Then we went down into the gift shop and eventually over to the Grand Fiesta Tour!

Somewhere along the way, we lost Laura! I tried calling her but she didn't pick up so we just got on without her! Sorry Sis!

Selfie Count: 9

We got off the tour and finally caught back up with Laura, talking to a CM! Just as we walked up, the CM got our Disneybound outfits! Everyone always would get Laura's first and then look at the rest of us and be like "OH! You're DisneyBounding Frozen!!"
On our way out, Laura stopped and got a shirt that she saw in February! thankfully they still had it!
Then we went back to Norway!
We stopped for a picture! Even with a gloomy sky, the WS is BEAUTIFUL

[jediprincess23]

We Found Sven's Antlers!!!
We went to the fun stop and got our Duffy's stamped! The CM there was so sweet and SO pretty!!!

We just had to get a picture with her! Look at he little Duffy she had colored to match her costume!!! We found Sven antlers!!! AHHHH!!

We then headed over to get in line for the Maelstorm because somewhere along the way Kat's mom had gone to get in line!

LOOK! More Frozen snacks!!!

At first, we were just going to get in the stand-by line

There was the most adorable little Snow White going into Akersus and so we were like "Hello princess Snow White!" and we were curtsying to her! SHE WAS SO ADORABLE!
We figured out pretty quick that we weren't going to be able to catch up with Kat's mom so we asked a CM at the entrance and they were SO nice and understanding! They let us go in the FP line to wait!

We decided this was a good time for another line selfie! This one wan't as successful as others!
Selfie Count: 10

We got caught up with Katherine's mom and we had a nice little trip being trolled by trolls!
We exited the ride through the gift shop and found some CM's to trade with!

All the girls working in Norway were SO pretty!!! We couldn't get over it!
On our way out, I had to run over to see the old Anna and Elsa meet and greet! It looks so lonely now!

We got one more picture in Norway before going to China!

I have this same picture from my very fist Disney trip!!

China is definitely another WS favorite!

I'm not sure if you count as a hobo if you have a place to live but I WANNA LIVE HERE!!!

We headed toward the Fun Stop!

The lady in there was so sweet! Kathrine was counting for her in Chinese!

After we got everything stamped we just HAD to try on the hats!

Bahaha the antlers are perfect!

I have that very Mickey Mouse pin on my pin board!

Pshh you guys should have jumped into the Frozen Meet & Greet and see if anyone lined up.

Pshh you guys should have jumped into the Frozen Meet & Greet and see if anyone lined up.

bahahhaha!! YES!! Why didn't we think of that?!

 

[I_Luv_Stitch]

Your Starbucks drink sounds delicious! I don't think we get that flavour over here in the UK!
Your interactions with both the characters and CM are always the best!!
Love the last photo of you four with the Chinese hats on, so cute
