Cant wait to hear more. Love your story telling style!!
Hi! I am Jackie, I am pretty new on here but wanted to tell you that I have LOVED reading your TRs and you inspired me to subscribe and start writing my own pre-TR and hopefully a full TR once my trip is done in June. Your enthusiasm and love for Disney has really inspired me and made me more excited than ever for my upcoming Disney trip (which I consider my first "real" Disney trip!) Anyway, I look forward to reading more about your adventures from your trips in December!
Also, congrats on the move to a new school. I transferred colleges after my freshman year and it was also the best decision I ever made. It sounds like you absolutely did the right thing.
OMG! I would have laughed so hard if I'd have seen you fall. I don't know why I do that, I am always concerned if a person is ok, but falling in my book is FUNNY!
I am glad you were ok, along with your camera and phone!
POR!!! MY home away from home! It looked so beautiful. It was actually one year ago today that we were at POR for 10 days.
Happy belated birthday 2 your mom
Sanna looks amazing! I have heard nothing but amazing things about it!
about your fall, that sounds a lot like me right down 2 the fall, sorry about your injuries though!
Yay you got another room 4 the night did u have 2 go back 2 the other hotel at all during the trip or did u stay @ Port Orleans the rest of the trip?
Yay MVMCP That party is one of my fav things about Disney @ Christmas!
Awww, poor you, I bet that hurt! However, I will say that it is kinda funny but ONLY because you were so absorbed in your phone! I have seen so many "phone" accidents.
Hurray for grabbing a Disney room!
Cant wait to hear more. Love your story telling style!!
I'm so glad you got out of that offsite hotel!! I don't think I'd EVER stay offsite in Florida,though I find it doesn't matter as much at DLR?
Sana looks sooo good!! And I definitely agree on the basamati rice! They've got it at Tusker House breakfast and I fill at least half my plate with it every time! Although when I make it myself...just not the same...at all...
That SUUCKS about your fall, thank god your camera made it through scratch free!! I know what you mean about the laughing/crying moments though! And yay for staying on property! And MVMCP! EEP!
Good restaurant choice. It would be so cool to see the animals out your window while you ate. It would be funny if all the animals had on Santa hats . . .or at least I think it would be .
Your mom looks so young. In fact she looks the same age as I am. So that either says I am older or I look really young. I am going with the later since I am only in my early 30's. Happy Birthday to Mother.
I am sorry about your tumble but I like your mother would have laughed (after the fact). I watch America's Funniest Videos and just crack up at all those that fall or get hurt then I feel bad cause they really could have gotten hurt. Glad it wasn't anything more then a scraped up knee. Oh . . . and that your camara was ok.
Ok . . . from now on your family should know that yall will not be happy off property. You have tried it what . . . twice now? LOL. Don't do it again. LOLOL. Just stay where you are the most happiest.
So I assume after the Christmas Party yall will have to go back to the dreaded off property hotel and get your stuff. I bet you will be beat.
OK so I laughed a lot when said about your fall, but only because I've been there and done it myself, only I managed to walk into a glass door hahaha. I still find it hilarious thinking back on it, but I cried too and not because it hurt but because of the shock, my dad on the other hand was on the otherwise of the door and found the whole thing as funny as your mum did! Gotta love parents! I'm glad you were ok though, kinda neat you have a Disney scar now!
Oh my. Sanaa just looks so good, I love Indian food so this is like heaven, it is most definitely 100% a must do for us!! And that cake, yummy! I'm hungry just thinking about it all!
Magic Kingdom looks gorgeous all decorated for the holidays I can't wait to see your party pictures of the rest of it
This is the 2nd thing I've read about Sanaa today... it must be a sign that I need to try it! Your meal looks absolutely delicious! Oh my gosh. Is the shrimp spicy? YUMMMM! Your mama's meal looks really good, too.
I'm so sorry you fell in the parking garage. That totally sounds like something that would happen to me. So funny that your mama was cracking up!
I bet yall felt so much better knowing you were going to be staying at Port Orleans. The lobby decorations look so pretty.
YAAAAAAAY for MVMCP! Such a fun time!
We are the same, I swear. I always do the exact same thing when I fall. I cry a little and then laugh a LOT. that's so funny.
Ahh that meal at Sanaa looked fabulous. I am so DEFINITELY booking us a lunch there for August. (we like the animals hehe)
Ahhh KNKJCQSKDJNCN DMNKAJDCBCKJWNEFKMV WE,FCIBDCKJ MAGIC KINGDOMMMMMM.
I CANNOT WAIT to hear about the Christmas party. Christmastime at Disney world is kinda a dream of mine. <3
AHH! I missed 2 updates! How did this happen?! Okay...first ones first!
Chapter 4 Reply
Yay for liking college! I'm so happy for you!! So glad it is going well!
I've never stayed off property at Disney, but I can just imagine how strange it would be! Some of the things you mentioned would be odd to me as well! The Thomas train...that is random! Interesting room; not bad and at least it's clean. The bedroom made me laugh out loud because of all of those mirrors! That would freak me out; waking up in the middle of the night with all the reflections! AHH
Don't worry my mom and I jokingly call ourselves "hotel snobs" because Disney has spoiled us so much! Regular hotels are not the same anymore lol. We just have higher expectations now. Oh well. But honestly, as long as the non-Disney hotel is clean and safe then I'm okay!
Great update! Now onto the next.
Oh I can't wait to hear your review of POR, that is where we are staying...in 45 DAYS!!!!!
What a crazy story of your fall...OUCH!
Chapter 5 Reply
HAHAHAHAHA OMG! Can I just say I love your Disneyness! I can't believe you changed your hotel! That is fantastic. A great idea! I love POR; I stayed there in September 2010 for my first mom daughter trip. Isn't it so pretty? I loved taking the boat to DTD. Perfect and lovely.
Sanaa looks good. Have you ever tried Jiko? I'm going there with my mom for mother's day in May. We're staying at Jambo House DVC; yay can't wait! I love that hotel. I love the Timon parking lot picture. So cute. I love those details that Disney adds.
I'm sorry but ya, I'm like your mom. I laugh when people fall...but after making sure they're okay! Oh Jess! At least you have a Disney scar lol...Disney is now literally apart of you! And, I would have cried too!!
Can't wait to hear about the Christmas party. We didn't do that in December, Maybe next time! Have you ever tried the Halloween party? I loved that!
Can't wait to read the rest of your TR Jess! We are just so jealous that you got to go for a spur of the moment Disney trip.
Was that Little Mermaid Sweatshirt from Forever 21? I got a 101 Dalmations one a few months ago from there and that Little Mermaid one is just like it.
OMG your story reminds me so much of my mom and I!! We get laughing SO HARD sometimes that she has to pull over to the side of the road if we are driving! I'm sorry you fell, but that sure makes for great memories with your mom!
Oooh, Sanaa...I've yet to try it! It kind of scares me a little because I'm sure what I would like there since I'm not into seafood and a bit picky! I'm glad you enjoyed your meal, though!!
YAYAYAYAYYAY!!!! I'm so happy you get to stay onsite!!!!! There is no way I would last in that sketchy hotel either!
Aww I love Christmas! I can't wait to hear about the Christmas party!! Ahhh I want to visit for Christmas SO BAD!
Sanaa looked amazing. We toured Kidani during our stay and I wanted to try it so bad, but we didn't have time. The lobby there was AMAZING!! Absolutely gorgeous. It was my favorite of the trip. I even liked it better than GF. So sorry to hear about the tumble. Truth be known, I did laugh at you while I was reading it. Does that make sense? Maybe not, but I did laugh. Glad you were Ok though. Plus you had MVMCP to cheer you up. Congrats on having a parent that would switch your room over to Riverside. You are right though, once you exit the Disney gates...Orland/Kissimmee has to be the most tacky tourist area ever! I thought Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg was bad. Looking forward to more updates!!
When you are in the college program,promise you will send me a link to your blog. Also , promise you will have a blog!
I love your trip reports. They remind me of when I was in college. I was a total frump.
Now I am a mom, which is equally awesome, but I like remembering the time when I was completely free. So please please do a blog when you get in the college program and link it to me.
I hope my daughter and I are as close as you and your mom when she is your age. ( she is 6 and a total Disney freak. We go at least once a year). Anyway, keep writing. Your trip reports are so fun!
Also, good job switching college programs. Go after what you love to do and the money will follow. I make a great living doing what I love and I enjoy going to work. You will be so happy later in life that you pursued what you really love.
Amy
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt....then it's hilarious.
Your reaction was priceless. My condolences to your knee.
Sanaa looks delicious. It's so unfortunate that I find such gastronomic goodness on the same day I return to DINING HALL FOOD!
Yeah, Westgate Villas, It's like one big party! Those are my peopl.....hehe ahem....I mean, WOW, how sketchy is that place!
Haha, sounds like Mr. Security Guard has seen this happen before....not exactly a ringing endorsement for Westgate.
It's nice to know that Disney is always a bastion of safety and comfort. I'm glad your hotel situation worked out.
Can't wait to read about the Christmas Party, because that's on my to-do list for the future...
MMMM. That food looks good. I'm kinda picky though and I want to try Sanaa but I'd be scared that I wouldn't like it! I dunno! Haha, not that it really matters.
OMG. You're just like, OH, I'm on the ground. That's cool. Happens all the time. I can just picture your mom walking along talking to you and she looks back and you're just on the ground. Hahahahaha! I'm glad that you could laugh about it! You always have to laugh at yourself in that kinda situation.
YAY POR!!! (Sidenote: I just typed ROP. Like, yeah, that's my favorite Disney resort. You didn't know it existed?) So glad yall could switch! AND YAY FOR MVMCP!!!!! AHHHH!
Loved the update! And that's great that you got to move to POR and be onsite! I had a moment like you well texting someone on my phone. I was in line at TOT and walked into the garbage can just before you enter the lobby and I almost walked into a pole after getting on splash! I always have a few frumpy moments on all of my trips
