It was such a great trip and Joe and I were so grateful to be included!
Thanks to Facebook memories Lesley and I also realized that it has been one year since we first met back in Disneyland for the Star Wars After Dark. You can read about that here. We had to commemorate with a "cheers" of our salt and pepper shakers in little mason jars. They were so cute!
We commemorated our Epic night with a group photo!
The Epic trip was so much fun. I love saying how I have a whole new world of friends now. It's a wonderful feeling knowing others who love disney and are crazy planners like us. Since the trip we have all managed to keep in touch through our FB group or even meeting up at Disney!
I love it! Awsome that you guys were there together.
This is sad and touching and so nice all at once.It occured to me and my sister then as something that our dad would have loved. It just seems like something he would enjoy if he were still here. I think this is partly why my sister and I liked it so much. I'm also here just for the chicken.
Payback is a .....As we were heading over to MK I noticed that CS was alseep.
So Lesey finally got payback for what happened in Sci Fi!!
Bitter Sweet! Just means more to come! I hope to be mroe of a particiapate in the 2021 trip!!!! Fingers crossed!THE END
to the Epic Girls Trip 2019!
Kari kindly shared the bucket of chicken. It was very good, reminds me of the one at 50's Prime Time.
And we asked for this even though it's not on the menu: Mac n cheese!
The show was fun, but none of us got picked for anything to be brought on stage, I'm ok with that
Dessert was then brought out, I think this was the strawberry shortcake.
It was really good but we were all very full!
We commemorated our Epic night with a group photo!
I've dubbed this moment the LAST CHUNKY BUS.
The EPIC TRIP IS NOW OVER, but not for long! We're aiming for the fall of 2021 to do it all over again! (There are no details on that trip yet, @Lesley Wake and I will get talking probably later this spring!
I think one of our Epic Trips should be to the west coast, what do you think?
Disney is not for the weak!We had an amazing trip over MLK weekend! There was so much to see and do! With Rise of the Resistance, Festival of the Arts, MK After Hours and our first Moonlight Magic event, there wasn't much in terms of "sleep" or "rest"
Great shot!
Really! Good for you! I've been hearing how the boarding groups are gone seconds after they open.We managed to get on Rise of the Resistance twice.
Niiice!We went to visit the new Riviera more than a few times because we were staying at CBR in the Jamaica section which was right next to the Skyliner.
Wow! That's fast!I'm talking like 20 minutes door to door from CBR to DHS.
mmm... Might have to put this on my list...The food is divine too! This was the Steak served over polenta with sauteed mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes:
Hmmm... I'm not a fan of pistachio, and iced hot chocolate?I also have to tell you all about this new float at Aloha Isle in MK. It's a cherry pistachio swirl over iced hot chocolate (like a frosty!) - it is literally the best thing I ate all weekend and I ate A LOT.
(She got the swirl alone and I got the float cos I'm a )
Yeah! What's up with that, Disney!?!?It was also exceptionally crowded over the weekend. I mean what is up?!? Why in the world would people want to come to Disney on a holiday weekend?!?! Why can't I get a weekend of just no one around?!?
We got on BTMRR using FP with no issues one morning but when we got off the ride, look at how far the FASTPASS line reached?!? It was on the BRIDGE past SPLASH Mtn
Nice one.
Look at you guys all parka'd up!
I know those people...
Glad you had a great time!What a great weekend!
It was my first time too, not long ago and I went the same way (by boat).we made our way towards Fort Wilderness on the ferry boat. It was our very first time there although Kari must have visited before I think?
I had no clue... just followed others.We followed the signs around since we didn't have any idea where anything was but we figured out where the HDDR was.
That bread! And that salad!!!!This was waiting at the table when we arrived:
Nice group.BTW, those attending were myself, Steve, CS, Kari, Molly, Lesley, Sarah, Billie, Fallon, Luke, Ariana and Jackie (who was the birthday girl!)
I actually have one of those. It sits above my stove (salt) and gets used all the time. I have no idea where it came from, except I know it did not come from Disney.We had to commemorate with a "cheers" of our salt and pepper shakers in little mason jars. They were so cute!
The show started and it was a lot of fun. Lots of slapstick, and just good ol' entertainment.
It occured to me and my sister then as something that our dad would have loved. It just seems like something he would enjoy if he were still here.
That was goooood! I'll live off that too.I'm also here just for the chicken.
Kari got a nice surprise as the bucket of fried chicken landed on her plate.
I've since heard of that, and have mixed feelings.And we asked for this even though it's not on the menu: Mac n cheese!
Dessert was then brought out, I think this was the strawberry shortcake.
I seriously think it should come out first.It was really good but we were all very full!
Boooo!!!!I've dubbed this moment the LAST CHUNKY BUS.
As we were heading over to MK I noticed that CS was alseep.
So Lesey finally got payback for what happened in Sci Fi!!
I am so surprised at the amount of people who came. And finding out that we actually like each other is icing on the cake.
Thanks for writing all about the epic trip! What an amazing time!THANK YOU ALL FOR READING AND COMMENTING!!!!
My favorites!!!!
Ok how do I not remember being there nor know that it was Jackies birthdayBTW, those attending were myself, Steve, CS, Kari, Molly, Lesley, Sarah, Billie, Fallon, Luke, Ariana and Jackie (who was the birthday girl!)
Then it hit me that this was the last "ride" most of us will be taking together.
I've dubbed this moment the LAST CHUNKY BUS.
I seriously cannot thank you enough for all you did for this trip. It was amazing getting to make so many new friends and more importantly spending time with the old ones ❤❤❤The Epic trip was so much fun. I love saying how I have a whole new world of friends now. It's a wonderful feeling knowing others who love disney and are crazy planners like us. Since the trip we have all managed to keep in touch through our FB group or even meeting up at Disney!

I think one of our Epic Trips should be to the west coast, what do you think?
What you neglected to say about this Festival is that there are art galleries literally almost every 25 yards! Do you know how much damage Fran can do?????? How did you not tell me this?
I hope so too! We will be back in exactly a month from now and I really need that float again!I'm really hoping they have that pistachio cherry float when I go in a few weeks. Can't see the pics yet, but it sounds right up my alley.
Noted for next time!In the first picture, I think you should have just walked away with that sign and mailed it to me...
Hahaha. The photographer was like, pretend you're gonna give him a kiss!! And I was like, um ok, but I really don't know what I was doing!I laughed at the second picture, because it looks like you are looking up the guys nose for boogers....sorry...think like an 8 year old boy today!
It was!! We had so much fun!Sounds like a fantastic time!!
Haha yes indeed it could have been much warmer!!Wow what a fantastic weekend. I am not sure you could have asked for more - except maybe warmer weather ?
Great seeing you Doc!It was fun getting to hang out with you and Steve a little last weekend. A bit disappointed the arrangements at Nomads were not ideal.
Would have liked to have hung out with @Jenny Sanders , @Mollydolly334, @pepperandchips, @ariane37 and @ArielSRL more than we were able.
Thanks! We had good fun. The funny thing is, this is actually the 2nd take me and Molly had to do of our serial killer photo! The first one we took during the day was lost and never showed up in our accounts! So we recreated it that evening at DAH!I love both of these photos!
We did! We had a lot of fun and Molly is just so sweet and cute and we really enjoyed her company!It looks like you guys had a great time together!
Yes!! It's part of the kids menu from what I gather but most of the adults order it too!Noted- ask for mac and cheese
Yes, so sad! I can't believe the trip was over! But we were left with the best memories!!Noooooo!
The last days at Disney are always hard but I bet it was extra difficult with all the new friends and memories from this trip!
Ah so that was what it was! It looked really good!Mmmmm, strawberry moonshine!! Not gonna lie, I could go for one of those right about now....even though it's only 8:33 a.m.
That would be @Lesley Wake !!YUMMM. That was so delicious. THANK YOU to whichever of you geniuses knew this was secretly available!
LOL I would dread it too but I would definitely cheer for you if you did end up there cos it wasn't me!! Woot!@Lesley Wake was very determined to get me up there! I was kind of relieved I wasn't picked LOL
BEST CREW EVERAwww, I just love this crew!!
I know!! Such a bittersweet moment!!This really was such a sad ride!! All those "see ya real soon" hugs!!!
Thank you!! It really was a blast! An exhausting but amazing trip and we all have our own stories to tell!!It was so fun following along on all the Epic trip's shenanigans. It seemed you all had a wonderful time with many happy memories made.
Reading about all the fun through a lot of trip reports definitely has me excited for the fall of 2021 one! (We won't be in the middle of a move so I'm making that one.)
What a trip indeed! It certainly was epic!Sad that it's over but WHAT a TRIP!!!!!
And yes, Epic Dis trip to the west coast would be awesome
Thank you so much for reading!So much fun to read along thanks for sharing the fun!
LOL aren't we all behind?Although I've fallen behind many times (stupid work and life getting in the way of my dis time ), I'm to see it be over.
Hoping DW and I will be able to join the fun in 2021.
It was a really fun dinner! I'm really happy we planned that as our last meal!HDDR sounded so fun, a great place to have your final dinner! Loved hearing about this epic trip and how much fun you all had!!
It really was!It was such a great trip and Joe and I were so grateful to be included!
Hope you're able to join in in 2021!I just love this!! Love the way these friendships happen and grow! I wish I could be there more to get to know you all but it's fun watching vicariously! ONE DAY!
You definitely feel like you know a part of them from their trip reports and from our FB group. But at least you know that everyone loves Disney!!!I love that too. You feel like you know everyone. Or at least enough to know you like them!
It really was! Also it was the 2 year anniversary of myself and Karilynn @Malia78 meeting for the first time too!I love it! Awsome that you guys were there together.
Thank you! Our dad was a fan of slapstick comedy and country western shows so he would have thought it was really fun!This is sad and touching and so nice all at once.
It certain is!!!Payback is a .....
Yes!!! Hope you do!!Bitter Sweet! Just means more to come! I hope to be mroe of a particiapate in the 2021 trip!!!! Fingers crossed!
Yes it was probably me, LOL.So just checking in quickly! Read you MLK weekend update. I came during FoA because of your updates last year....was it?
Buahahaha. I really had to stop from looking at all that art!!! BTW how much did Fran buy?What you neglected to say about this Festival is that there are art galleries literally almost every 25 yards! Do you know how much damage Fran can do?????? How did you not tell me this?
ETA: Looks like you had a great time. We're gonna try for RotR tomorrow morning! MTFBWU
It was really good!Mmmmmmm...... Fried Chicken!
I would have had no idea either. Lesley told us!I wish I'd known when we went there that you could ask for that. I only found out later.
Me too!I'm totally OK with not being picked for going onstage either!
I guess there's a story with that?!? @pkondz?Nice! I'm glad @pkondz's security guard didn't chase you all out.
Yay! So cool! We will probably be at the Poly for half the time.Well, I know that we have enough points to be at BLT from probably Sept 28 - October 3 or 4. By then our BCV points should be replenished as well as our BRV points. We could also stay at SSR, so we just need to decide how long we want to be gone, but 9-10 nights is good for us.
Sign me up! Maybe we could make that the 3rd annual Epic trip!Absolutely! I'm all for that one!
No sir it's not!Disney is not for the weak!
They are! It's so stressful for like 2 minutes when the park opens!Really! Good for you! I've been hearing how the boarding groups are gone seconds after they open.
You should! Go write it dow now.mmm... Might have to put this on my list...
It was delicious!! But I cna understand how you will not like it if you are a fan of the orange creamsicle that was in the orange bird sipperHmmm... I'm not a fan of pistachio, and iced hot chocolate?
I don't understand how this didn't happen?!?Yeah! What's up with that, Disney!?!?
We need an epic us only and no one else allowed trip.
Yeah, it felt like CANADA came to FLORIDA.Look at you guys all parka'd up!
So yummy!That bread! And that salad!!!!
I could live off of that...
Stop showing signs of weakness!I've since heard of that, and have mixed feelings.
I kind of wish I'd ordered it, but... I was sooo full!
Dessert before the meal? That should be an option for all!I seriously think it should come out first.
Thanks for reading and being a part of it!!Thanks for writing all about the epic trip! What an amazing time!
we missed you Chunkylush but we tried to do you proud. I got an Annapurna Zing!!My favorites!!!!
I think you were on your way back home that night?Ok how do I not remember being there nor know that it was Jackies birthday
Aww you're so sweet Kari, I would 1000% do this again and it really was my pleasure to plan since it's what I enjoy doing anyways.I seriously cannot thank you enough for all you did for this trip. It was amazing getting to make so many new friends and more importantly spending time with the old ones ❤❤❤
Of course!!!And.... one last ChunkyDump.
Can't wait to start planning!!Perfection!!
They are! It's so stressful for like 2 minutes when the park opens!
OOOH!!!! Lucky you!!!!! I may be a little jelly...LOL!!!We then headed to Magic Kingdom that afternoon for what would be a very special treat. We got to visit Club 33 in Magic Kingdom! Our friend Chunkydust, who is probably the nicest most generous person I know, kindly gave us the opportunity to visit this "secret" club. If you don't already know where it is, it's right as you enter Adventureland. Past a wooden gate and you see this special doorbell:
Again, ooooh!!!!!! Can't wait to hear all about it. ❤I got some extra pixie dust and am excited to share with a few Disboarders
Really? I totally thought it would be the other way around. But I guess not!At DL the Guaranteed BGs have been selling out in 1 min. Every. Single. Day. Back up groups aren't lasting much longer. It's even crazier than DHS!
OOOH!!!! Lucky you!!!!! I may be a little jelly...LOL!!!
HeheheAgain, ooooh!!!!!! Can't wait to hear all about it. ❤
Thank you! We certainly had a great time, it was very relaxing!The pics of you and Steve on the Dream are awesome and it looked like you 2 had a fabulous time.
Jelly that Chunkysis got her pic taken with Robin Hood and Little John!!!!!
Oh sorry! My google photos was acting up but I fixed it and hopefully you can see it now!It is funny - I can see all the photos from the cruise ship and the start of your visit to Club 33 but from when you show the pandora charm I can't see any of the photos. I will try again later and see if they come back. Looks like you had a great time.
Hopefully it's fixed now!Sounds great, just can't see any of your pics!
