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

[jediprincess23]

Do the Emily!!!
WOW, it's been a while since I've gotten a chance to update! But never fear, I am back!!!
We left China and found ourselves held up at the bridge!

I was excited to watch the globe for Illuminations go out into the middle of the lake!

After that passed, the bridge quickly went down and LOOK AT THE LION KING TOPIARIES AHHHHH!!!

Throughout the trip, we started doing a pose that we named "The Emily" I just love it!

Some Snow White pictures were also needed!

We made a brief stop in Italy

Laura's favorite!

Then it was time to stop at the American Adventure!!

We got in line at Fire and Drum and realized that the people in front of us in line as well as the CM are from the same state as us!

This sign though

Emily got the ever so famous Disney Popcorn

And Laura got an American Dream!!

Then it started to rain!!! SURPRISE!!!
So we over the the fun stop for cover! I got my Duffy stamped and then sat down with all the other five year old's (I was among my people ) and started to color! I was talking to this adorable little girl and we were talking about our favorite princesses! But I didn't hang out for too long because it was time to Katherine to get something she had been waiting a LONG time for!!
After hearing me rave about all the awesome food at the Flower and Garden Festival, Kat just had to try FRUSHI!!

The wonderful CM checking us out was so sweet! Her name was something like Hanami (not the exact spelling but very similar to the name of the booth she was working at!) And she told us that it meant flower!!
Photobombed!

I really wanted to try frushi but I was just too afraid I wouldn't like it since I don't like real sushi!
Just Keep Swimming! (Scroll Down )​

 

[jediprincess23]

It's a Frushi Adventure!!
We were so beyond in love with each and every person working at that booth!! Someone saw that it was Katherine's birthday and made her this adorable ring!!

Then of course, they had to sign the autograph book!

THEY ARE SO AWESOME!
Then Laura went on ahead to Morocco to shop and Katherine, Emily, Kat's mom and I, sat down on some benches so Kat could eat her frushi!
She LOVED it!! She will be the first to tell you that three was not enough! She definitely wanted more!
Okay, sushi lover or not, I want to try this next time!!
Then we headed through Morroco!

We just had to make a stop at the Henna booth to watch the amazing design's the CM was doing!

Next was France!
The Beauty and the Beast topiaries were just breathtaking (I apologize for the poor quality of the pictures I was taking them while walking )

Then came Cinderella and Aurora and THEY ARE SO PRETTY

This picture has to be one of my favorites! It just totally screams EPCOT

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

That's no fun! Well at least you guys in the UK get way better candy than we do! Haha!
I LOVE CM interactions! I don't know what it is but they are just SO interesting!

I do have to agree with you there, our candy is better ahaa what is your favourite British candy?
When I go next month, I'm going to have to treasure the CM interactions a lot more
Frushi sounds and looks so weird but so yummy at the same time! Wow the attention Katherine received from those CMs in Japan, is just amazing! they sounded like an amazing bunch of CMs who just love their job
The topiaries are just so beautiful, and am really jealous that you got to see them all haha!!

 

[courtneybelle]

Love love love dem topiaries, especially the Beauty and the Beast ones!

You guys had so many good CM encounters!!

!

Sadly, I really haven't got to try very much British candy! I do love "Cadbury eggs" I eat an excessive amount at Easter! Also, I recently saw a "Cadbury flake bar" which looks absolutely DELISH!

ME TOO <3 I purposely avoided all the pictures for Flower and Garden until my trip so I could be surprised! It was hard not to just uproot that Aurora and
Phillip one and take it home...

"We're From Berkshire!"
It was now time to make a very important stop for the teacakes!! THE UNITED KINGDOM!!!
Just as we walked in the pavilion, the skies opened up again!!
Laura finally caught up with us and we got in line to meet Mary Poppins! She was meeting in one of the shops since it was raining!
We left Katherine's mom in line and decided to talk to some CM's and pin trade!!!

We found a CM and her name was Holly too!! We told her about how we loved talking in British accents and how much we loved England! She let us try out our accents on her and she said they sounded very natural! (YESS!) She was from a very northern part of England and her accent was SO cool because it was like this mix of English and Scottish <3
Selfie Count: 11

Then we started talking to the CM at the counter! When we told her we were telling people we were from Essex, she said our accents sounded very classy and we should say we are from Berkshire!! She was awesome! We also asked her if she knew Anne Marie (a CM we met in Feb.) and she said she did and that Anne Marie had just like accidentally cut her finger really bad!!
Selfie Count: 12

Then it was almost our turn to meet Mary!!

She was perfectly perfect in every way! I don't remember too much of our conversation but I did ask her about Bert and she said he was doing great!
But REALLY she was PERFECT

After the meet, we just hung around because Alice was coming in a couple minutes!
We took this opportunity to get our Duffy's stamped!

And then of course, I started coloring some more! I talked to this adorable little girl who had just gotten to Disney and she told me that she never ever wanted to go home! (That's a girl after my own heart!)
Then Alice came out!!

She was SO cute! She LOVED my un-birthday button!

Then, we finally headed out of the shop!

"But Peter, how do we get t Neverland?" "You fly of course!"

You can't visit the UK pavilion and not take pictures in the phone booth!!

After that, we made a bathroom stop in Canada and ran for our lives into Mouse Gear it was POURING!
Katherine traded with a CM and had him sign her book!

I bought a caramel apple air freshener for my non-existent car! It smells YUMMY

We decided it was about time for some dinner! So we walked over the the Electric Umbrella!

It felt SO good to sit down!!
Looks like 3 burgers, a wrap and chicken! It was all good! But everyone's favorite part of the meal was definitely the pellet ice that were in out drinks! LOL

It was nice to take a break from the rain and all the walking and eat some yummy food!!

That's an adorable pic with the British CM! I really like her costume.

I had a dream about pin trading the other night HELP I'm an addict. Get me back to WDW!!! (20 days!!!)

 

[disnemma]

I just realized that I haven't commented on like the past seven updates! I'M SO SORRY!

I love the Seas with Nemo and Friends too! The ride queue is so amazing.

That Starbucks looks amazing! I haven't had Starbucks in years, so maybe I'll have to get that next time we go!

Also -- can I join you and be a WS hobo? We could live on school bread and free pop from Club Cool (which is really in Future World, but whatever)

Norwegian CMs are the best (and most of the guys are "Mickey Mouses" too, hehe)

Ahh... the Grand Fiesta Tour. What a frumpy ride.

How nice of the CMs to let you get into the Fastpass line to wait!

I like how in the picture of you guys in China, everyone is making a scary face except for Laura!

Haha, I love "The Emily" pose! So fun!

I thought about trying the American Dream last time, but it was between that and school bread so of course I chose school bread. Maybe I'll have to have both next time!

Those CMs at Hanami were amazing! Cool CMs just make the trip memories so much better.

Nice "Mary Poppins" poses! You guys look like naturals!

Finally someone who understands me!! I think there should be a Disney Addicts Annomouys held in the maelstrom since it's the frumpiest ride ever!

No worries!! I just realized I haven't commented on your TR in a while either! I always think of the comments and then forget to actually write them!

You SHOULD totally get Starbucks in July it's MAGICAL!!

YES you can absolutely be a WS Hobo with me! If you ask me, it sounds like quite the promising career path!

The American Dream IS dreamy! It's something that I wouldn't want everyday but it's definitely yummy!​

Tinkerbell Is Coming To MY Bathroom!
After dinner, we decided we needed a bathroom break! So we headed back to the restrooms across from Mission Space!
While I was in there, I noticed this CM just working SO hard and diligently and so, I just happened to be standing at the entrance of the bathroom waiting on everyone else and trying to stay dry and so I was just like
"I just wanted to thank you for your hard work and wanted to let you know that you are dong such a great job!" and She was SO sweet!!
Once everyone was at the entrance we had a long conversation with her! I think she was from Puerto Rico and she just loved her job!! Just as we about say goodbye, a little girl dressed up like Tinkerbell walked into the bathroom and the CM was like "I CAN"T BELIEVE TINKERBELL IS COMING INTO MY BATHROOM!!!" She was great!!
Then we headed over to the Pin Central because Katherine's Mom was giving in and was committing a great and serious crime...
She bought A PONCHO OF SHAME

The first day we had joked about how we would NOT buy the ponchos of shame but, you can only endure so much rain
We also made some pin trades! Here's what I got

Then we headed over for one last ride before we left EPCOT, Spaceship Earth!!

I JUST love this ride! It's so frumpy!!!

I got to sit with Kathrine and Laura and Emily together and then Katherine's mom was by herself!!
We tried to do like Mickey ears with our hands for the picture but we didn't consider the fact that our little people already had hands!
So apparently, in the future we are a four armed mutant

We left the ride and found out picture on the globe! Laura and Emily are up there too!! We're famous!

The we headed out of the park! But we just couldn't ignore this HILARIOUS PP+ CM! He was so great and Katherine wanted a picture with him! But he was kinda acting like he shouldn't like it was against the rules. The other CM with him was like "No, it's okay you can take pictures with people!"
And he was like "But what if she makes a bad gesture?!"
So after Kat promised to be good he posed for some pictures!

He also got some great shots of us! You can see he was cracking us UP!

We waved goodbye and headed out of the park for real!
We decided it was about time to head to Magic Kingdom!!! Which created a very special moment for me because, WE WERE GOING TO RIDE THE MONORAIL!!!! I was SO excited I literally did a happy dance all the way up the ramp!!!

This wasn't actually my first time on the monorail, on my very 1st Disney trip I actually got to ride in the very front back when that was allowed! But now that I had a new found love for the monorail, I was super excited!
Our monorail pulled up in about 5 minutes and we hopped on!

We got a car all to ourselves!

Entering The World Of Yesterday Tomorrow And Fantasy
We got off our monorail and waited for our next one! When it pulled up, we realized Katherine had a matching pin!!
We hopped off and headed down to the gate! YAY FIRST MAGIC KINGDOM VISIT OF THE TRIP!!

Someone walked up to us at security and asked if we were a party of five! And we said yes since Kat's Dad was still at the cabin! And she handed us a no-strings FP and just walked away!

Thank you stranger for that little bit of pixie dust!
We were going to use it on Anna and Elsa meet and greet since there were no FP+ to be found, but it says you can't use it on character experiences

After taking some pictures, we headed onto Main Street! Katherine's Mom left us to explore while she had some secret business to attend to!
We went into the Emporium

Then we took a bathroom break and then we headed over to get pictures with the balloons! This was something I've been wanting to do for a while ever since I saw Jess doing it!
We asked a CM if we could take pictures and she held them out so we could do a picture but I was getting the vibe that she wasn't the friendliest person...
But on the plus side, FROZEN BALLOONS

Then Katherine's Mom came back but Kat realized she had lost her ring that she had been given in Japan!
So Kat and her Mom went to look for it while Emily, Laura, and I walked across the street following the heavenly smell coming out of the confectionery
I mean seriously, it smelled AMAZEBALLS in that place!

They had free samples in there and there were samples of the new Olaf apple! Its a candy apple covered in lots of sugar and pure magic!
HOLY BATMAN!! That thing was SO good!!! I would have bought the whole apple if it wasn't $10! But it was probably worth the price!
After that, we headed on through the hat shop to wait on Kat!
I made a pin trade!

We met up Katherine! She couldn't find her ring! SO SAD
We decided to head on down Main Street!
I LOVE this sign!

We were heading back to Fantasyland! We were about to get a little mad

[I_Luv_Stitch]

How lovely of that stranger to give you that FP but what a shame that it couldn't be used for Anna and Elsa!
So sad about Katherine's ring, it was so pretty!
The Olaf Apple sounds so delicious, and to get a free sample is even better as $10 for a snack is ridiculous!haha

 

[jewels1916]

Hi Hollye! Just finished your February TR (I stalk TRs to pass the time until my next trip) and loved your writing style so I came over to get on board with this one too! Can't wait to see what's next!

[courtneybelle]

Aww that is such a sweet CM encounter!

Bahaha that is a great idea to do Mickey ears.

YAY no strings FP!!

Your balloon pics came out awesome! I kind of failed at it in November so I hope to try it again this summer.
