Pixie Dust, or Pixie MOUNTAIN? A Grand (Roy) Disney TR *NEW TR LINK 8/11!*

while Ricky's been looking foward to it for awhile it appears Chris may even be looking forward to it now :worship:

YAY Chris!

I walk out to our foyer :tiptoe:, see a CM in a butler uniform, and on the side table in the living room is this:

img_8748-jpg.363460


AND now my pictures are small :sad2: If you can't read the card, it says "congratulations to the first time grandparents" your concierge team!

Oh. My. Gawd.

This is wild!! Awesome pixie dust! And how nice of them to celebrate such a big milestone with you!

when we were being checked in, the club CM noticed I'd put "Grams" and "Gramps" on our MB's. He commented on it and I told him about Hayden being our first, etc. He was a grandfather and yes, he set this up. We saw him later in the trip and thanked him profusely!

That's so kind! What a special CM. :lovestruc

He was looking at Mickey so longingly that I offered him a piece, and before too long Mickey was missing a couple apendages. I should have taken a picture but it looked so wrong lol!

:rotfl:

I give you your laugh for the day:

img_8766-jpg.363472

:rotfl2: OMG love it!

Eventually a special DIS friend rolled up and I had my 2nd ever meet with Billie @Elevationist :cheer2:

img_8778-jpg.363469

Awesome! Lucky you to get to meet Billie, and lucky Billie to meet you guys! :hug:
 
The Champagne was an extra nice touch. It seemed like perfect timing to have visitors who could witness your good luck. That must have been fun to share it with them.

:)
 
I really cannot wait for this trip, it's even more needed than our adult only Sept. trip and while Ricky's been looking foward to it for awhile it appears Chris may even be looking forward to it now :worship:

Not much longer at all!!!

I'm too lazy to go back to the beginning of this report but when we were being checked in, the club CM noticed I'd put "Grams" and "Gramps" on our MB's. He commented on it and I told him about Hayden being our first, etc. He was a grandfather and yes, he set this up. We saw him later in the trip and thanked him profusely
I love Disney Magic!!!

And to go with the picture of the drink, I give you your laugh for the day:

img_8766-jpg.363472
:rotfl2:

LOVE.IT. So much more than I expected it to be!! First of all the track is higher than I thought; Chris is going to be shocked and refuse to ride it at first lol. It's just so awesome, another reason I booked HS EMM!
It really is a lot higher than I thought it would be! Let me know how EMM goes. I almost booked it but went for the After Hours Event at MK.
 


1. ordered some Sparkle Skirts for the first time, waiting for them to come
2. ordered shirts from RedBubble for myself and the boys; Steve said nuh-uh (guess his 7DMT is enough)
You'll be shocked to know I have no earthly idea what a Spark Skirt or a RedBubble is :P

Chris may even be looking forward to it now :worship:
:scared1:

We had plans to go to HS that night with an ***aucers FP for 6pm
Did you get in trouble again with your ***

I walk out to our foyer :tiptoe:, see a CM in a butler uniform, and on the side table in the living room is this:

img_8748-jpg.363460
Ok this is clearly amazing and I couldn't be happier for you AND I'm a green eyed monster who wonders why by deluxe bed can't even have a runner on it anymore. Oh the dichotomy that is Disney.

I should have taken a picture but it looked so wrong lol!

img_8753-jpg.363465


Can't really say day drinking since it was after 5pm; so let's call it
I'm sure @pepperandchips will do you prouder but I'm feeling a little old school with "tub-thumping" recalling the 90's song where I get knocked down and get up again! Or we could go a little risqué and 21st century with menage a roy disney :-)

After that the line for SDD was still over an hour and we were parched. The best thing to do when you're woozy and parched? Try the Grown-Up's lemonade at Woody's Lunch Box!
Just what the doctor ordered :drinking1

This may be my favorite picture of yours yet :P Looks like you and the army man just got a wiff of his armpit

Eventually a special DIS friend rolled up and I had my 2nd ever meet with Billie @Elevationist :cheer2:

HEY LOOK, IT'S ME! HI, ME! :lovestruc

Oh, also, hey Ariane. :wave2: And hello to the rest of you who said such nice things about me here! LOVE MY DIS GIRLS, and can't wait to see most of you in May! :grouphug:

Ari, I am still super bummed that I didn't get to come see that insane suite! :eek: You have the wildest luck, lady. "Pixie Dust: That sh*t is real!"

Thanks for spotting me in line at SDD and for waiting to say hello! It's always WONDERFUL to "meet" you! (Y'all, Ariane gives amazing hugs for a tiny person!) :hug:
 
I'm dying at tubchugging! :rotfl2::rotfl2:
Every once in awhile I come up with something witty ;)

The white chocolate Mickey looks similar to the white chocolate Cinderella they have at the Contemporary for Christmas. I just can't get past the idea of chewing off Cindy's head!
I haven't actually seen that so now I have to google! At least Mickey had arms to take off first lol

And I too am getting excited for our November trip. The weather has been so ICK here!
It's still not all that bad here in NY, just lots of rain but we're all ready for our trip. Well, ready in the sense of wanting to go; ready in the sense of having everything bought, packed, cleaned, etc, which of course is all me? Nope, not even close :scared1: I am way, way, way behind! I was busy all last weekend and will be out again all day Saturday and part of Sunday which means I'll probably be doing everything like, 48 hours before we leave and cursing all the way :headache:

What?? OMG!!
It was unbelievable because our luck is usually crap so we were very confused as to what was going on :rotfl2:

It's so much fun! I can't wait to bring my kids in April!
I'm looking forward to the boys riding it too! They both enjoy 7DMT and I feel like Slinky is much better.

Btw, if you can hold out Disney's Friends & Family event starts Thursday, 11/8/2018...I know we have been giving out coupons for weeks in the stores, and I am sure it will be online too. But it is 25% off most items (the usual exclusions, media, certain brands, etc.)
:thanks: Since I haven't gotten around to ordering yet lol I'm just going to wait another few hours until tomorrow!

First, I hadn't heard of this site. Very cool! I really like some of those shirts.
Yes! RedBubble and also Tee Public. Sizing is pretty good, although going up a size works a bit better. I like the shirts on both sites better than the traditional Disney Store shirts :)

Second, I had to laugh at your comment about Steve. I still remember that green shirt he wore with (I think) Grumpy heads all over it that you hated but I thought was cool. :rotfl:
:laughing: It was Mickey heads and the boys had them too, except Ricky refused to wear his! I still have them all in our "Disney wear" Rubbermaid containers but I highly doubt I could pay anyone but Steve to wear those again :rolleyes1

I you didn't have pictures, I might not believe you :laughing:
What a nice gesture, and what an incredible trip!
It really was! I was glad we finally saw the CM who checked us in on our last day so we could thank him. I hate saying this, but we felt like the GF CM's were...............a bit "above" CM's at other resorts.............


#looliquor
Oooh I like that better than mine :thumbsup2

It looks like the green army man is thinking "really lady, I am already holding up this cheese. Now I have to help keep you upright as well... :rotfl2:
That's a perfect explanation lmao!

We are down to 9 days... woo hoo
And now it's 8 for you :cheer2:

We are doing this on the 19th, then MK EMM on the 20th. Very excited.
I've considered doing MK EMM before since everyone really likes 7DMT, but I'm the only one who really enjoys PP and WtP. At least with HS we'll (hopefully) ride SDD a few times and Chris loves TSM, plus they can try out Alien Swirling Saucers without me!

Hopefully we will run into your family over Thanksgiving. Just look for the dad with 3 girls (wife included) looking for a cold adult beverage...And not wearing a matching shirt !!!
:laughing: I need to PM you our schedule, I'm very bad at messaging!
 


Hope you like the Sparkleskirts!! That's pretty much all I wear now at Disney. It's like my "theme park" outfit!
I got them yesterday! I ordered 3 different styles and like one, swingstyle, so I have to return the others but I just ordered 2 more :thumbsup2 I got the first ones really quick so hopefully these will come before we leave, too! And btw I heard of them from you :goodvibes

That is the sweetest gesture ever! So thoughtful!
Very sweet! He was a really sweet older CM, just wish I could remember his name :scratchin All the GF CM's, especially the CL ones, were awesome!

I like #tubchugging!!!
I did do pretty good with that one, didn't I?? However I do like @Terra Nova guy's #looliquor too :laughing:

Aww how cute! So glad you guys were able to meet up there during the hurrication. It's too bad she didn't get to see your suite!
I was very happy to see @Elevationist again and I cannot wait to hang out with her and all of you in May :banana:

That made me tear up!! How incredibly sweet and special!!!
I think if it had been the ONLY pixiedust: I may have cried, but at that point I was just too giddy over anything "extra" that happened :goodvibes

This is my new favorite hashtag. Hands down.
As an old person who still isn't quite sure why hashtags exist or how to use them, I am honored :cool1:

I'm jealous!! Billie is fabulous!! :)
She IS for sure!!!

I teach at the Culinary Institute of America! Sorry you were disappointed with the student cakes, they're all about fondant technique and not necessarily about flavor. Come visit and I'll take you to the Apple Pie Bakery Cafe for something a little bit better!

Wait wait, did you tell me once before that you live by me?? I can't remember! Are you in Hyde Park? I've been to Apple Pie Bakery, it's fantastic! I've also eaten dinner at the CIA quite a few times and always enjoy it. I totally understand about the cakes and they were absolutely gorgeous; this is also going back about 20 years FYI :oops: It was just so..............well, they were so BEAUTIFUL, and so CHOCOLATEY, and then they didn't take like Duncan Hines :rotfl:

The fact that the DIS censored this made me giggle.
Right? If you don't like it, don't give your attractions acronyms we're going to love using!

Wow! So much pixie dust. That looks way too good to eat.
As much as we absolutely loved and are thankful for ALL the pixie dust, I'm sure we met our quotient for the next 15 years of Disney lol. And I don't think I would have eaten any of it (which I didn't), but I felt bad not giving Brandon any since he was looking at it with such longing!

Oh, I love sweet drinks! I need to add this to my list for May.
I saw that when I started reading your new TR; you're my sweet drink sister :hug:

That's definitely not a bad wait at all! My best one though was on Na'vi River Journey. Posted wait time was 45 minutes and I was on in 9.
Wow, now THAT'S what I call a no-wait! Too bad it doesn't happen on FOP yet :rolleyes:

Yay for a DIS meet! I can't wait to meet both of you in May.
Looking forward to meeting you too!

Fun evening, the Pixie Dust just keeps coming doesn’t it? I love it!
:worship: and there is still one tiny, tiny bit to go :thumbsup2 nothing that doesn't happen to others but it was still a nice surprise!

I hope to finally meet you in May!
If all goes well it's going to happen! I'm already booked at WL, just need to make my flights. However since I've done 0 planning for our family DL trip in April except for booking our DL resort for part of the trip, I figure I need to work on that first or risk a revolt here...........

How exciting for your Thanksgiving Trip, we were heading there last year! We really enjoyed the Thanksgiving week there. We spent Thanksgiving Day at AK and it was so fun and not super crowded!
I was very sad to miss Thanksgiving last year as we loved being there for the holiday in 2015 and 2016, so while the reason we can go is because Ricky's still out of basketball :( I'm excited, and so is everyone else. I honestly think going over Thanksgiving is my favorite time to visit!

Woohoo! I have one!! C wont let me order anymore. But, I'm still working on him.
:laughing: So I mentioned earlier I ordered 3 different styles and like one, Swing Style. I have to return the others and quickly ordered 2 more this evening which will hopefully come before we leave!

Holy moly at more pixie dust!!! Love it!
This was an extremely awesome additional surprise :goodvibes

G is not a fan of Alien Saucer Spin though.
I'm right there with ya, G :thumbsup2

They totally could have got their license last spring once they turned 16. It's their unreasonable parents who are making them wait until they are 17, lol!
Oh, ok lol! Completely understand! Nothing wrong with waiting!

Hurray! 23 days for me! :)
Whoo :banana: Just wish I didn't have 3 weeks left of things to do :bitelip:

Chris??? Looking forward to Disney?? I hope you have a ball!
It's like the world is off it's axis, right? I asked him if he wanted to come to Universal with us or stay back at the resort and he actually said he wants to do Universal, and is excited about HS EMM. I mean this could change at the drop of a hat but for now, I'll take it!
 
Awesome! Lucky you to get to meet Billie, and lucky Billie to meet you guys! :hug:
@Elevationist is so fun to talk to and hang with, I'm really looking forward to spending more than a few minutes with her on our EPIC trip in May and tossing back a few with her :drinking1

The Champagne was an extra nice touch. It seemed like perfect timing to have visitors who could witness your good luck. That must have been fun to share it with them.

:)
It really made the day, and yes I was happy Cathy was there when it came :) She only lives about 50 minutes from me but between her working full time, her 4 kids and then my schedule we don't get together much. Her and Brandon had also had a bit of a rough trip; they weren't even supposed to be there anymore but he got a double ear infection a few days before so they couldn't fly home, and then she sprained her ankle in MK :( So it was nice we got to hang out.

Not much longer at all!!!
And then you'll be right behind me! Which is awesome except for the fact that we're missing each other again :headache:

Let me know how EMM goes. I almost booked it but went for the After Hours Event at MK.
Will do! I have to call you and fill you in on my ship tour, also :hyper2:

You'll be shocked to know I have no earthly idea what a Spark Skirt or a RedBubble is :P
That's adorable. Maybe I'll buy you a matching sparkle skirt and then get us matching RedBubble shirts for May :D

Did you get in trouble again with your ***
My *** always gets me in trouble..............

why by deluxe bed can't even have a runner on it anymore.
That's because they're selling all the runners so they can give pixiedust: to folks like me :snooty:

"tub-thumping" recalling the 90's song where I get knocked down and get up again!
Now that's in my head! I'm jumping up and down, pumping my fist. Something else we can do in May if we're lucky enough to have a cool band playing during F&G :laughing: And yes, I WILL jump up and down. And sing.

Or we could go a little risqué and 21st century with menage a roy disney :-)
OK THIS wins!!! I want to change my TR title!

This may be my favorite picture of yours yet :P Looks like you and the army man just got a wiff of his armpit
Or we realized he's holding #stinkycheese

Two of my favorites :lovestruc:lovestruc:lovestruc
:grouphug:

Hi you :wave:

LOVE MY DIS GIRLS, and can't wait to see most of you in May! :grouphug:
Me neither!!!!

Ari, I am still super bummed that I didn't get to come see that insane suite! :eek: You have the wildest luck, lady. "Pixie Dust: That sh*t is real!"
First of all, we NEED that saying on shirts - maybe for our cruise :sail:
Second, I know! I would have loved to have you come after we left HS but we were wiped, if your job could have only left things alone and allowed you one more stinkin' day! Maybe someone will get upgraded in May :P

(Y'all, Ariane gives amazing hugs for a tiny person!) :hug:
Aw :goodvibes Let's keep things in perspective though, I'm short but not tiny. I love the compliment though :love:
 
I got them yesterday! I ordered 3 different styles and like one, swingstyle, so I have to return the others but I just ordered 2 more :thumbsup2 I got the first ones really quick so hopefully these will come before we leave, too! And btw I heard of them from you :goodvibes

The swingstyle is the only one I wear. I do have a flutter cut which is pretty cute but the swing is so flattering and girly and makes any park outfit look like you put some effort into it, not that you needed it. :)
Oh and around Black Friday they will have some big sale, or some buy 3 get one free thing, which isn't cheap if you think about it but you'll use them forever.

I did do pretty good with that one, didn't I?? However I do like @Terra Nova guy's #looliquor too :laughing:

That is very clever too!

I was very happy to see @Elevationist again and I cannot wait to hang out with her and all of you in May :banana:

Hopefully someone will be upgraded and we can all share the suite for some nighttime libations. :drinking1x 30
 
Wait wait, did you tell me once before that you live by me?? I can't remember! Are you in Hyde Park? I've been to Apple Pie Bakery, it's fantastic! I've also eaten dinner at the CIA quite a few times and always enjoy it. I totally understand about the cakes and they were absolutely gorgeous; this is also going back about 20 years FYI :oops: It was just so..............well, they were so BEAUTIFUL, and so CHOCOLATEY, and then they didn't take like Duncan Hines :rotfl:

I am in Hyde Park! Don't worry, we call those supermodel cakes- pretty and shiny, nothing on the inside! :P
The Culinary actually sends TONS of students to Disney, so whenever you eat at a Signature restaurant, you're eating the work of our grads! A taste of home, right?:rotfl:
 
If all goes well it's going to happen! I'm already booked at WL, just need to make my flights. However since I've done 0 planning for our family DL trip in April except for booking our DL resort for part of the trip, I figure I need to work on that first or risk a revolt here...........
That sounds awesome, I didn’t realize you all were going in to DL in April, I have been 1x only when Jack was 8 so a long time ago. Andi and I keep toying with the idea, however, it is way more expensive for us to go there than WDW. Flights are so high from here! I will be excited to hear more about that trip as well!
 
I love sparkleskirts but I never think to wear them in the parks. HMMM...now maybe I need another Disney trip to try them out.
 
I hadn't heard of sparkleskirts until you mentioned them, so I went to look at the website. OMG, they're so cute!
 
Grown-Up's Lemonade
Three Olives Cherry Vodka, odwalla® All-Natural Lemonade and Black Cherry Purée

I love odwalla lemonade in general, but I have a serious weakness for all cherry lemonade. But I don't do alcohol (I'd fall asleep on the next ride. :faint:) Is the puree like actual puree puree or is that another kind of alcohol? I'm sure I'll get charged the full $10 even if it's a virgin, won't I?
 
As some of you know and some don't it's nowhere near as swirly and vomit inducing as the teacups but it did still make me a bit woozy.
hmmmm, maybe the champagne had something to do with that! But it def isn't a thrill ride.

Grown-Up's Lemonade
Three Olives Cherry Vodka, odwalla® All-Natural Lemonade and Black Cherry Purée

And to go with the picture of the drink, I give you your laugh for the day:

img_8766-jpg.363472
Yum! And this is hilarious! You def look like this was NOT your first drink/

Maybe next time I stay there lol.
Such wishful thinking! I love it.

Disney does this to people. This is what total relaxation looks like :)
I like this theory, I think we should all go with that!
 
The swingstyle is the only one I wear. I do have a flutter cut which is pretty cute but the swing is so flattering and girly and makes any park outfit look like you put some effort into it, not that you needed it. :)
I ordered one flutter cut and then a hiker chic; the flutter was cute but something just didn't "sit" right which is why I'm sending that one back, but it wasn't bad! The hiker chic - :sad2:
Hopefully someone will be upgraded and we can all share the suite for some nighttime libations. :drinking1x 30
lol one can hope!

I am in Hyde Park!
I'm in Wappingers :wave:

Don't worry, we call those supermodel cakes- pretty and shiny, nothing on the inside! :P
OMG that's a perfect description. Everyone loved when they were delivered and it was great having the relationship with the school; we got to eat lunch up there often too. It's just, well, I guess I ain't fancy :rotfl2:

The Culinary actually sends TONS of students to Disney, so whenever you eat at a Signature restaurant, you're eating the work of our grads! A taste of home, right?:rotfl:
This doesn't surprise me at all! And we eat at lots of signatures so I bet I've tasted the creations of some local CIA grads!

That sounds awesome, I didn’t realize you all were going in to DL in April, I have been 1x only when Jack was 8 so a long time ago. Andi and I keep toying with the idea, however, it is way more expensive for us to go there than WDW. Flights are so high from here! I will be excited to hear more about that trip as well!
Surprisingly, flights to CA over spring break are less than to Fl over Thanksgiving!
I was out there in 1995 lol, before California Adventure existed :rolleyes1 But Steve and the boys haven't been. I'm very excited! At this point it looks like we're also spending a couple days in San Diego and of course, Hollywood :tiptoe:

I love sparkleskirts but I never think to wear them in the parks. HMMM...now maybe I need another Disney trip to try them out.
I'd never heard of them until @chunkymonkey mentioned them, I just can't remember if that was in person or on the boards :) But since I often wear athletic skorts in the parks (said the most non-athletic person EVER) I figured these would work for me!

I hadn't heard of sparkleskirts until you mentioned them, so I went to look at the website. OMG, they're so cute!
They are! Can't wait to wear mine IN EIGHT DAYS; I'll try to post pictures of the ones I got before I go :)
 
I love odwalla lemonade in general, but I have a serious weakness for all cherry lemonade. But I don't do alcohol (I'd fall asleep on the next ride. :faint:) Is the puree like actual puree puree or is that another kind of alcohol? I'm sure I'll get charged the full $10 even if it's a virgin, won't I?
Hmm, it wasn't like, chunks of berry so maybe not actual puree, but I don't think it's another kind of alcohol. I'm not sure if they'd charge you full price without the alcohol :scratchin but it's worth a try!

Yum! And this is hilarious! You def look like this was NOT your first drink/
:laughing: It wasn't, but I think I was probably in the middle of saying something!

"Cool" of course being in quotes because the "badder" the "better" in my book! Bring on Milli Vanilli....
Well that would certainly be easy for us to sing since we wouldn't have to actually.................sing :rockband:
 
What a thoughtful surprise champagne and those strawberry's look heavenly.
Glad to hear you liked SDD it looks like fun.
I was wondering about the Alien Saucers because the teacups make me :sick:
