Hi Lia, I rarely post but follow your trip reports closely and love them! I just wanted to tell you that I saw you at the Halloween party on Friday--it was when you walked through the villain's dance party very fast with Gina and LeeAnn behind you. I recognized all of you from your reports and I loved your costume! I think this version was even better than last year's! I didn't stop you because you looked like you were on a mission, and my 10 year old son was in the process of being seduced by one of the stepsisters. I wanted to pop in to tell you I saw you and to also tell you that your trip reports were a big reason why we went to the Halloween party for the first time this year--we took two trips from NY to Disney in the past month, the second just for the party! Hope you had fun--we loved it! --Jackie
Thank you!! AHH we absolutely LOVED Club Villain. Thanks for noticing the changes in my costume, I liked this years a lot better myself!
That is SO awesome that my TRs are part of why you went to MNSSHP. I absolutely love hearing that. I am so glad you went and loved it!!
No trip report??
Just kidding.
It's totally understandable that you can't document every moment of every trip. And rain....ughhh. I hate when the rain ruins plans. But I am sure you had an amazing time despite it. Can't wait to hear more of this current TR.
Yeah, it's getting pretty difficult! I want to keep doing TRs, it's just a lot of work. Thank you!
That's awesome they had a whole event about their beer! What did you think of it (assuming you tried it)? I really love it. I found a website that will deliver it to NJ and ordered 2 6-packs (Holy Moly was that expensive). I drank one myself and the other is a surprise for my equally-Hanson-obsessed friends!
I absolutely love it! I may be biased since I adore them so fully, but yes, I love MMMHops. I am so happy they did this. It's great to see them following another passion of theirs. They were clearly very excited about it and I am so proud of them.
Yup, being home sucks. I wish I had paid more attention to social media as our trips crossed ever so slightly. But once I figured that out it was too late. Whomp Whomp.
I feel the exact same way about a TR. I mean, I'm doing one, but I can't imagine it'll be the same level of detail I'm used to. There's only so much you can say about rain. And yes, for what it's worth, it rained plenty the week before you got there as well. And YUP YUP, rain on MNSSHP!!!
"MMMHops." Bahaha that is super comical and awesome!! I definitely hope you do at least something TR wise though. It would be a crime if you didn't.
Aw that's okay Rob, I am sure we will cross Disney paths sometime in the near future!
If I do another one it's definitely gonna be a downgrade in detail... but that's okay! I will still make it worth reading I think, just maybe not AS involved/long.
Looking forward to reading more! Yours are some of the best TR's I've read!
Thank you so much!
Glad you had such a great time and I loved following along with your adventures!
Thanks!!
Welcome back Lia - I'm so sorry that this Disney adventure is over for you but I have no doubt you'll be back in the land of fun, fantasy and happily ever after before you know it!
That's such a shame to hear about the rain but I'm glad you still managed to have an amazing trip regardless. I live in Scotland so I'm really used to the rain but when I visited NYC a few weeks ago it rained horribly and I was so disappointed. Things always seem better when it's nice and sunny but if anyone's going to find fun and laughter in torrential rain then it's you!
I've been following along on Twitter and, like many others here, am hopefully that you will decide to do a TR at some point. I completely understand if you don't though - I can only imagine how much time and effort you put into these amazing reports.
For now, can't wait to hear all about your cruise...I have a feeling I'll be booking one (then swiftly declaring myself bankrupt) by the time you post your final update!

Thank you! I'm sorry it rained during your NYC trip. I hope you still got to do a lot of amazing things.
We'll see about the TR. Until then the cruise part is coming slowly but surely!
Hi, Lia-
Welcome back to the land of reality. Le sigh.
Understandable that you might not want to do a full-flegded trip report for this past rainy trip, but I do hope that you at least share some of the awesome photos that you shared on social media. Your Haunted Mansion Ballroom Dancer gown was to die for. pun intended.
Can't wait to hear more about the cruise!
Linda
Le sigh is right.
Thank you so much! I just love that costume, I had to do it again. I'll definitely post some photos on this thread if I decide not to do another TR, but I am leaning toward doing one, just making it shorter/less detailed. We'll see how I feel when this one is done.
Bahah! I can seriously picture that happy birthday moment with Jess, like, you wake up and your subconscious remembers its your bffs birthday, but you blank becauase youre just not with it, and then DERP.
Also oh my gosh Quinn, a dog greeting like that makes any day more amazing!!
Awe! How wonderful you were able to get so many awesome fp for dhs! It is super tricky with all the park hopping to get everything you want done! Yay for that!
Yum! Cupcakes! How wonderful that a dining reservation opened up right at the right time!! Love it when that happens! Ahahah I feel the exact same after a round of TSMM!
Okay, Ive got to figure out these ghost statues!! Look UP when we first pull into the elevator shaft? I MUST SEE THEM! Beautiful pictures of tower, you always manage to capture the best angles of it! I also always think of you when I see it, Im all oop! Theres Lias home!
hahhaaha I'm glad you understand the hilarity!
It's not when you first pull in, it's when you're dropping, but you only see them during certain circumstances. Look up but forward, they're in front of you, not directly above. Hope that helps!
I love that you think of me when you see the Tower... PERFECT.
Sorry about the rain. I live in Orlando and all the heavy rain has been getting tiresome. I was at Epcot on 9/28 for F&W and to see Hanson; I'm glad it was pretty dry that day!
Yes that first night was not rainy but the second... AHH. Sadly they had to cancel one of their shows due to lightening.
Ugh I so hear you on the rain in Disney. We were there the week before you and had a lot of rain also. And it rained on our MNSSHP also. Your advice about the shoes and socks is spot on. My sneakers were soaked and didn't dry out until after I returned home. We did our best to put smiles on our faces and enjoy as much as we could. I also was expecting the crowds to be a lot less than they were, especially at the party. We went on a Tuesday night and there were sooooooo many people. It was kind of insane.
Anyway I follow you on twitter and instagram and enjoyed your photos. I love reading your TR'S but I guess if you don't do one for this trip I'll just learn to deal lol. Can't wait to read more about your birthday trip! !!
hahaha oh man my sneakers did not dry out until like 2 days after I got home. I put them outside to dry and guess what... it RAINED HERE TOO. hahaha. I wouldn't be surprised if they were still wet, damn things.
Thank you so much!
I just caught up! I don't know if you remember, but on your the TR when you did the hot & fancy MNSSHP I told you I had never ever been to one and posted an adorable picture of my little one hugging Jack Skellington (whom she plans to marry).
So, I made it this year (just a Disney date with my DH) & we were there on the same night! I was following your instagram as I was posting pictures of my night at MNSSHP. I even saw you walk by in your beautiful costume just before fireworks started! Thanks so much for inspiring me to make a MNSSHP happen!
Can't wait to hear about the cruise. We're taking one in Feb.
AHH that's awesome! I'm so happy I could inspire you for your mnsshp! Thanks for the compliment on my costume too. Seems like you had a great night!!
Love your trip reports!! So fun! I will continue to live through you. Someday I will go to Disney on my birthday. The ham and cheese sandwich and chocolate flan. OMG Yummmm!!!! How is it I did not know chocolate flan even existed!!! I need that
Thank you so much! yes you need some chocolate flan ASAP. Trust me on that one.
