Haha I can't believe the lights were on in Space Mtn. after all that! That sounds like something that would happen to me
My camera had been given me some problems so I made Mom act as my model while everyone else rode MS...and I mean CMON, she's so pretty so who is the real winner here!!!
Questions to guide you:
Do I understand joy?
Have I ever felt joy?
Am I even really fully human if I do not appreciate beauties like WS?
Highlights:
- - A full performance of So Long, Farewell (from the Sound of Music) in Germany and a lot of discussion over schnitzel exclusively existing as a noun and the potential that exists with the creation of the verb: schnitzeling
That is fenomenal!! I’ve never seen someone so creative. Sounds like a fun time. And I’m loving all your pictures!!Our chef's name was Nagatoshi and he was phenomenal!! We've been here several times and Nagatoshi was definitely the best chef we have ever had. So creative and genuinely funny.
This made me tear up a little!Dad here- I must clarify. I don’t dislike Stitch as this report seems to imply. But, if I was ranking Disney character favorites, Stitch would not be in my top 10. Not even close.
Now that we have cleared that up. For those of you saying how much fun it looked like we had, you are absolutely correct. We took our kids numerous times when they were little. I always thought each trip how this might be the last time I get to see that joy on the littles ones face. This is the second year in a row my daughter has invited her college friends along. These kids are awesome. I am getting to see the joy all over again, just not with such young faces. Sometimes their actions mimic those of young children but hey, it’s Disney, and we’re here to have fun. So to the parents that are taking their young children and worry that some day the love for Disney will disappear, that family trips will never be the same, that riding Peter Pan will lose its magic, I am here to say with Disney, ithe fun doesn’t have to end with age.
Love love love your energy! This seems like a super fun group you went with- following along! It's CRAZY impressive you all pulled this together. This would have been tough in college, but now especially as a later-than-mid-20-something getting my ladies together for a trip only a few months away would be basically impossible. Can't wait for more!
The amount of hot takes made in this update. Whew, gurl...
"The song you love to hate. The dragon you want to kill." One Little Spark is a SHERMAN BROTHERS MASTERPIECE. Do not disrespect it nor the same to Tony Baxter's pride and joy, Figment.
And how is it possible to be ok with someone who doesn't like Stitch? HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE STITCH?
Ugh.
*UNSUBSCRIBING*
Just kidding!
Also, I don't know if you're being sarcastic or you got really REALLY wrong information about early twenty somethings but we all love World Showcase. It's the saving grace of the once sparkling cruise ship now sinking that is Epcot imo. If not for how stunning it is but also BOOZE. We stan. But a love letter is always appreciated.
That was quite some journey of y'all running through MK to make it to Peter Pan's Flight before the park closed. I've done similar things and I can only imagine how frantic and wild that was with a group as big as yours. And with Teppan Edo intact? Y'all got skills.
Lol, Space Mountain with lights on after all that hype of it being dark, I can't. Just to help quell the bitterness over Space's petty that night, it wasn't until the end of my first CP when I was invited to ride Space with the lights on on one of my last nights so you got to see something a rather rare few get to see. Enjoy relishing in that.
Joining in! And can I just say, your group is one I would totally join in a heartbeat! Parents, friends, brother - the whole shebang! I don’t think I’ve ever seen such pure joy on so many people’s face!
Quick question-how long did the lights and X-Mas stay up whilst you were there? We are taking my parents for the 1st time in November but I REALLY wanted that week after New Year’s but since it’s their 1st time, having them see everywhere decked out in all their glory was/is crucial to me.
PS. I have video of me videoing the Kiss Goodnight(our 1st time seeing it)and I was BAWLING. I was watching my kids and seeing their faces light up, GAH!! I’m crying just thinking about it
Haha I can't believe the lights were on in Space Mtn. after all that! That sounds like something that would happen to me
This is hilarious haha
Your Mom is so pretty so she definitely serves as a great camera model! What camera do you use?
Ah the Marie Kondo version of WDW
I did not know this was a thing in Germany! I definitely want to see this. That's like my absolute favorite scene from Sound of Music!
WOW! That is truly impressive!!
Ahh to be young and motivated to go on a ride before it goes down for refurb. I couldn't make it from my couch to my fridge in 6 minutes. You guys rock. I didn't realize it was down for refurb. Any idea how long it's going to be down. I'm assuming it'll be back up before we go in October. Totally subbing because you girls remind me of me and my friends at that age and I can't wait to read more. "I'M SO SORRY WALT" was too funny!
That is fenomenal!! I’ve never seen someone so creative. Sounds like a fun time. And I’m loving all your pictures!!

I have had my ups and downs with Figment, I will admit. I think what really gets me is the scent lab more than anything. I have super sensitive senses, so bad smells hit me HARD, and the skunk scent just ruins it for me. But Figment is cute, so I will give him a redemptive point there.
To be fair, most of my early twenty something friends are not major Disney fans at all, or have not been in a number of years, so I think it is easier for them to say "meh, boring" in reference to World Showcase. But I'll be doing DCP in the fall and I am excited for the opportunity to find some camaraderie.
Also personal update: I accepted an offer to work as an Attractions cast member in the fall with the Disney College Program so that's exciting news I wanted to share. If you're there in the fall, come say hi to me, be it at Kilimanjaro Safari (the dream), Splash Mountain, a parking lot, or somewhere in between!
because they let her get the largest size and still considered it a snack credit
Congratulations to you on getting accepted! Sending you pixie dust for those locations (I will say though, most end up in Magic Kingdom due to the amount of attractions there). Maybe I'll see you around down there.
If there is a vice to have in life and it is the Main Street Trolley Show then by default, it is not a vice because it deserves to be experienced with joy and singing and dancing not just from the performers but from the crowd too. I approve.
I love your awkward castle photos. Y'all look too happy to care that you don't know how to even pose for these photos haha
McCall downing an entire trenta coffee is the biggest most relatable Disney parks mood if I've ever heard one.
Isn't the Hall of Presidents under refurb for another year or something? ...
I love that tradition with the wives wall outside the Mansion. On your CP, you should take a pic on your first day in the park after Traditions doing the Disney point at your name and holding your nametag. That would be iconic.
Megan and I would definitely not get along and I would definitely spend a moment or so arguing her issues with Ariel. Also, is her favorite princess Belle? Just out of curiosity. I want to see something.
Ok, so our last trip we had a SUPER awkward Photopass photog interaction. Now, let me start by saying my DD is *PAINFULLY* shy - like ducks her head and backs away slowly if anyone tries to talk to her. She was Disneybounding as Ariel and we just happened to be by Little Mermaid. I had just gotten her brother a huge lollipop(I think you can probably see where this is heading). So we do a family pic and get ready to move on. But he stopped us and insisted she do some solo pics in her “Cinderella”(?!?)outfit. Then he spends 10 min posing her on the lil bridge thing by Gaston’s, on the way to LM. Then he insists she use her brother’s lollipop as a prop. By this point she was wanting to jump off said bridge. But nooooo, it was ANOTHER 10 min of super awkward posed pics She started crying as soon as we walked away, she was soooo uncomfortable. I’m surprised she’s still not holding a grudge
Also, Ariel irks me for the same reasons. So problematic and to @PlutosRHM55 Belle is my favorite Give me Belle, Mulan, Merida, and Rapunzel any day.
That's awesome! I'll be there in September so I'll keep an eye out! I definitely regret not applying for the DCP in college, so good for you!!
Snack credits can be used for any sized Starbucks drink! I think its like the best use of a snack credit to get a Trenta sized anything haha
Congrats on getting in to the college program! Maybe I'll see you in September or November
At least Gaston was memorable I feel like characters get real thrown off when us humans try to actually interact with them since they are so used to most people not knowing what to say lolol
Love your Storybook Circus pics! I've never really spent any time in that area and I need to remedy that!
Sounds like a great MK day!
Yay!!! I loved your last trip report! I am glad you are back!
I am already enjoying this one!!
I am so loving your trip report! It is so special seeing Disney through the eyes of those who have never been.
All of the Abigail shots "through the years" are adorable. What a great tradition, don't ever stop.
