Dorothy and Blanche:A tale of left over shoes and lost items! DONE 7/14 just in time!

I snapped the sign for AoA on my way by.

I brought my Kobo and my camera down, filled my refillable mug with rootbeer and waited for Blanche. And waited. And waited. And waited. I think I refilled my mug about 4 times, ran inside to not get hit with rain showers at least twice and had at least 3 potty breaks. It seemed like forever! But at the same time, it was kind of special. Sitting in the sun (or inside on a bench during the rain showers) reading Harry Potter, drinking rootbeer and listening to some great music. Watching people arrive for their trip, seeing others leave… I think I saw about 4 DME buses.

This one looks like it might be near a rainy period.


from raw-9397
by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Here, I was inside, so either it was raining, or I went back in for more rootbeer and a potty break. ;)

I have this in my classroom.... well, it's rolled up and in a closet, and a lot more faded and used, but I have one!


from raw-9399
by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Blanche finally arrived sometime after 3:15. I guess she had a few issues with DME because she had the papers for AoA and she was going to Pop. They did let her on though. I took her up to see the room and drop off her carry on items and we decided to get some food! And I put my sandals on!

She wanted some chicken nuggets, so we split a meal of chicken nuggets and fries, and she bought her own refillable mug. That was at about 3:45, so she had to have been there for a little bit by then. At least 15 minutes or so. (Don't worry, I'm sure I took pictures of the chicken nuggets at another time in the trip... it is something we eat often!)

I snapped some more pictures of the room while she got settled.

And the evacuation route... that is something very important to know!


from raw-9407
by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I like this, I think it's important that we all make a little conscious effort to help. I'm not an environmentalist, but I think there are certain things we should do and I think we're killing the earth. Now back to Disney!


from raw-9408

Then on the way to the bus stop, I snapped some more pictures around the public washroom area at Pop.

Then we were on our way to the Magic Kingdom!
 
Loving your reference to the cloak. Will Blanche allow photos of her on this report?
 
So glad Blanche made it.

I wanted to let you know that in the first post of this update you have a couple of double pictures. I have been having issues lately with flickr not copying right, so I thought I would let you know.
 
Thanks! The problem is that now I REALLY want to go back! I think looking at my pictures and writing the TR makes it harder!



Thanks! Between the phone charger and the camera charger, I'd pick to lose the phone charger EVERY time! :lmao: I survived. I don't think I'd have been able to survive the rest of the trip without my camera!



Haha, I know, me too!! :)

At least we have our priorities! Camera over communication while at WDW!

So glad your friend made it! Love the pictures! And the ride pictures are hilarious!! :)

Me too! And thanks! :rotfl:

Hey! Just found your new report so I'm sub'ed and going back to catch up!

Welcome! Will you be going to the GTKTW fundraiser in Halifax in July? It's a fundraiser/dismeet!
 
I have a picture of Blanche waiting for the bus, but she has asked me not to post her pictures, so I will have to respect that. (well, as much as I can! hahaha)

You may be, well, exposed to some strange pictures of me now that she is here, because she occasionally forces me to have some pictures taken. I tend to make a funny face.

Here is a normal one where I'm just really happy to be heading to MK!

We saw these signs a few times. I think this time they were upgrading the turnstiles for the MBs. Speaking of MBs, we were still using our paper tickets.

Move, it Shake it Celebrate it was happening, so we pulled up a curb and watched it. Just the parade part. We didn’t watch the extra stuff around the hub. They dance, don’t they? A little more? I really don’t know because I’ve never stopped to watch it.

We got FPs for Splash and then got in line for BTMRR. I guess that will be my last FP picture.

Even though the wait time was listed at 30 minutes, it was only about a 15 minute wait, so that was nice.

We decided we wanted a snack. Blanche loves pineapple so she wanted to try a Dole Whip. I said I’d get my second Citrus Swirl of the trip.


from raw-9588
by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I had asked Blanche to let me get a picture of her Dole Whip before she dug in, but it was half gone by the time she got it to me by the Magic Carpets of Aladdin. (I’ve never ridden that one, maybe I should sometime…) I got her to try my treat, and she liked it better actually and vowed to get her own sometime.

Blanche, do you mind that I am sharing pictures like this? You might need to get on here and check to let me know!


from raw-9590
by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Put this in your basements to scare the rats away! Hahahaha


from raw-9591
by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Sorry to scare you, but I like to have fun. I debated sharing that picture, but I figure you may as well see the real me, I can get kind of silly! Especially at Disney. I don’t often get my picture taken because I’m the one taking them… so here I am making faces at WDW. Drinking ice water. Our favorite thing now is to get ice water with our snacks!

Blanche was tired, still a little off after having been sick, and it was her travel day, so we decided to head out after HM. I think I gave our FPs to a CM so they could share them with someone else.

We took the bus to AoA and Blanche got to at least see a little of the resort that she missed. Well, the main reason was probably that the bus was there.


from raw-9704
by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

This little one looks so comfortable like that! Hahahahaha Blanche and I were thinking it would be nice to have someone carry us around.

Back at Pop:

from raw-9710 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

We realized that her extra charger worked for my phone! (My Kobo charger didn't work, even though it had in the past.)

After getting back to Pop, we grabbed our mugs and headed out for a snack. I grabbed an overpriced bag of chips. I like Disney chips, but they are incredibly pricey! Then we vegged a little and slept well!
 
Purchases of the day:

Pizzafari
Cheesecake in a cup $3.99
ice water in a cup
Total: 4.25

Everything Pop
Chicken nuggets and fries (shared with BLANCHE!) $8.69
Blanche's refillable mug $15.49
Total: $25.76

Sunshine Tree Terrace
Citrus Swirl $3.19
Total $3.40

Everything Pop
Potato Chips $2.69
Total $2.87

(Wow! I don't like to pay that for a big bag at home... crazy!)
 
Welcome! Will you be going to the GTKTW fundraiser in Halifax in July? It's a fundraiser/dismeet!
I would really like to, I was sorry I missed the last one. When is it and is there a thread started for it somewhere? Or group? I'm going to Germany for 10 days in July so with my luck I'll miss it!

You guys had a great day at MK and got a lot done! Love the Haunted Mansion pics, I'd love to be there right now.
Poor Blanche, I can definitely understand her feeling tired after being so sick! Glad you got some things done and had a rest. :thumbsup2

The actual meet is Aug 10, so you would be home! If you search Nova Scotia Dis Meet Round 3 on facebook it should come up, if not, let me know and I'll see about finding a way to add you. :)

Where are you going in Germany? I've been to Germany twice, both for World Youth Day (one pre trip because I was one of the leaders taking young people and one actual event. We stayed near Fulda and Cologne.

We do enjoy a fun way of touring, kind of go with the flow but have certain must dos. I totally wish that I was riding HM now too! ;) At least the snow is melting.
 
Aug 21, 2013

Blanche got Rice Crispies and a banana for breakfast and I got my Mickey waffles with bacon and fruit . Guess it was the kids meal because adults get the Pop waffle. I love Mickey waffles or Pop waffles, or character waffles. … Disney waffles. They are all so special. Like I said before though, Mickey waffles are my favorites!

My camera fogged up in the humidity, but just a little. We don’t keep our room too cold, so it helps with my camera. Hmmm... It will be interesting to see how my sister and brother in law like the room. We don't have AC here at many houses (not ours anyways) but we do in our cars!

We went to DHS. Since we didn’t get there before opening (I don’t know what was up with that this trip?) or at least after they started letting people in, we stopped for some Monsters University pics.

I have only ever played Candyland once, and it was about 3-4 months ago! Hahahaha. Maybe I should buy a game for my class. I had to intervene the other day when some students were playing chutes and ladders (I miss the snakes!) because some of them were hopping on the ladder part way up and climbing up the slides!

We went with a Napoleon again. Even this one was not as good. I had heard about the changes to the one in France and was sad, but I was willing to try it. I’d been looking forward to this one because it supposedly hadn't changed. I don’t know if it was just us, but we didn't like it as much, and we’d had it before and loved it.
