YOU'RE INVITED TO LIA & JESS'S HOT AND FANCY
HALLOWEEN AND CHRISTMAS PARTY TRIP REPORT!
My friends. THIS is the one you've been waiting for.
The most spirited Trip Report of them all!
I'll be your host. Your Haunted Mansion Ballroom Dancer host, that is.
This is me in my more corruptible, mortal state.
I'M LIA!! If you don't know me already, as a Disney fan you are just plain missing out. Unless you aren't a Disney fan. In which case you are very lost right now. WELCOME ANYWAY!
Let's see... who am I? Well, I enjoy marrying chipmunks, hugging women who can make snow, being photobombed by Eugene Fitzherbert, doing the hand jive with Bob Jackson, dancing with Prince Phillip, and walking around the Magic Kingdom as a member of the living dead. I can usually be found on a Disney trip, planning a Disney trip, or in the front row at a Hanson show.
Disney means more to me than I could ever explain in words. It has been a massive part of my life since I was a baby. The magic is real, period. There is nothing more inspirational than Disney because all of their claims about how dreams come true are backed up by the fact that Walt followed his dreams and look what he created. If that doesn't inspire you to get going on your dreams and never give up on them, I don't know what will!
I love everything about Walt Disney World and can not get enough. This was my 12th trip there since my first in 1995 and I can honestly say the love and obsession with this place only intensifies. It's not like other things where you can experience it a lot and then feel satisfied. What keeps happening is that I just find new adventures to go on, more to discover, and the appreciation for Disney just gets deeper.
I am very lucky in that I have a close Disney loving friend named Jess who was my partner in crime during this trip.
Jess lives in Orlando and enjoys being engaged to Pluto, frumping around Disney World like all the time, having the most popular DIS thread, flirting with Aladdin, and macaroni and cheese just in general. She can usually be found meeting characters or wandering around a Disney park's parking lot, screaming for Brooke, who is her female automobile.
Jess and I are the two biggest Disney fans you will ever meet. We love everything to do with Disney with a firey, burning passion that most people cannot even comprehend.
It is VERY rare that I meet someone who's love for Disney actually meets mine. I can not even tell you how fun it is to be in Disney World with someone who gets it on my level. Plus outside of the whole Disney thing she is just a great person, we have the best time together, and can talk about anything! After our 2 week trip together in May, we knew we had to plan another one! It was only a matter of time.
The love only grows and grows for us, and Disney only gets MORE magical the more we go and the more we learn about it. For us, Disney is not just entertainment, a company, or a place we enjoy going... it's a way of life.
There will be some special guests in this trip report, like Gina (who you know from my last two reports), the incomparable Bob Jackson, and of course... HANSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was the third trip where I got to see my favorite band in my favorite place. I am the luckiest girl ever, I can't even believe it. I am so happy they love Disney. It could not be more perfect.
There is one more person in this TR I have to introduce you to. She is hot and fancy.
This girl was the mascot of our trip and is now the mascot of our lives. Basically this chick is all about self love. When you feel hot, fancy, fabulous, or any other awesome feeling about yourself, you do the movement she is making in this Emoji. However, Jess and I do it with our palm pointing down instead, like this:
We did this approximately 7,940 times during our trip. We had been using this emoji a lot in our texts prior to the trip, but then it got out of control. She became the hot and fancy girl when Jess texted me saying that we needed to take "hot and fancy" pictures at California Grill. Obviously I thought this was the most hilarious thing I had ever heard. Hot and fancy is the funniest combination of words basically ever, so our Emoji friend then became the hot and fancy girl. I know, we are crazy. Whatever.
So, like I said... YOU'RE INVITED! I can honestly say this is one of the best trips I have EVER had. Things went so perfectly that it was above and beyond what I had hoped for. Magical things happened that just blew my mind and made me INSANELY HAPPY.
Time slowed down for once and I was able to enjoy myself to the maximum. Jess and I were basically beside ourselves with happiness the entire time. You do NOT want to miss this one!
