March 28th: My favorite "Easter egg"
I had told Mum all about the amazing eggs at the G Flo so we had to go see them. We parked at the TTC and took the resort monorail over to the G Flo.
Here is a better picture of the best "Easter egg" in the history of "Easter eggs." Seriously, this thing is amazing. In no way, shape, or form is it an actual egg but I love it so much. I hope they bring it back this year.
We took the monorail to MK next because we were meeting up with my friend Traci and her family. They were at WDW on vacation and we just had to meet up for a little bit, so we watched FoF.
We then headed to whatever in God's name Ariel's ride is called. I wanted to go on because they had some new lighting and effects after it came back from refurb.
Next, it was time to meet the Easter Bunny and his lovely wife because it was necessary.
It is sad how bad my eyebrows are at this time. Times have changed since then.
It was pretty hot out on this day, so ice cream was needed, so instead of going to the Plaza, we went to the Contemporary to get soft serve out of the machine.
After we ate our ice cream, we took the monorail to Epcot from my fave place aka the TTC because Mum wanted to see some topiaries.
We also checked out the Inside Out garden which was pretty cute.
This is just too good.
We walked around WS next to look at more topiaries and we got some food at the booths.
This is the pulled pork slider from the booth in America, and this puppy is always great.
And these are the steak tips? Brisket things? Do we have a BBQ expert in the house cause lord I have no clue.
And for some reason that is all I have left for pictures on this day. Lol this TR is a hot mess.

April 4th: Everything is OFF THE CHAINZZZZ and Anna needs to poop
It was another Epcot day, and it was very important because we got to see what an amazing job Disney did on recreating the bedroom of a 6 year old boy. Bravo, Disney, bravo.
Blown. Away.
We walked over to the Wonders of Life pavilion (RIP) to look at whatever they had in there for Flower and Garden. I mean, it is pretty sad considering there is no free chocolate, but oh well. And I don't remember this in prior years, but the Festival Center for F&G was only open on the weekends.
It is cool though because they have a Pluto topiary that you can go right up to and pet if you are into that sorta thing. Hobby: petting topiaries.
We headed into WS to walk around, admire the flowers, and stuff like that.
BUT BUT BUT we did get some ice cream in France and that crap is amazing.
One of my favorite views during the year ♥
Go home turd
Anna looks like she is either holding in a fart or she is constipated.
My pictures were OFF THE CHAINZZZZ this year in the butterfly house because of my 50mm lens. HOLLLLA.
We headed out of Epcot but CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE CHIPPIES IN TOPIARY FORM?!?!??! I don't think I have posted any pictures of them yet, and if this is my second time freaking out about them, that's too bad. But, seriously, I would like to pet them.
Next stop was the Contemp because they had finally set up their Easter Egg display. Not as good as the G Flo's, but I still like checking it out.
You ain't an egg.
SHE DOESN'T EVEN GO HERE.
No really. You don’t even go here.
After we finished looking at the eggs and fake cakes, we took the monorail to the Poly.
Can we please talk about the amazing map on the 1st floor right by the check in desk?! Kevin and Jody did it, and I love it so much. I mean, I do miss the giant wall of mirrors that used to be there that looked like they belong in a house from the 80s, but I think I'll live. Maybe.
Also, the new merch for the Poly is OFF THE CHAINZZZZZ.
Still haven't been here lololol
We walked around outside and admired the $3000/per night bungalows.
And lord, the sunset on this night was A+++++.
We got to roast some marshmallows too which was nice. Love nights like that.

April 5th: Where my warm buns at?
BUNNY DAY AKA EASTER HOLLA!!!!
We had an ADR at Trail's End for breakfast which was exciting. We had never been for breakfast before.
Our ADR was at about 10:15-10:30, which is a lesson we learned. So they have these warm pecan cinnamon buns for breakfast that Mum really wanted. They were all out when we went up to the buffet the first time and then we went back, they were cleaning up because lunch started at 11 and the buns weren't there once again. So I would go earlier in the future to get more food and not have them be cleaning up when I ain't even done pigging out yet.
This was my first plate.
Cause we need more than one angle.
This was my second plate and oh, yeah, that's a cookie next to my sausage because they replaced the sticky buns with sugar cookies. They are practically the same thing.
And because I am the nice person that I am, I look some really nice pictures of Mum that I would like to share with you all.
I love you, Mum.
So, overall, breakfast was good. I enjoy dinner more I think, but they are both great meals. Like I said, just go earlier to get your warm buns.
Before we went to MK for the rest of the day, we stopped in Settlement because they have the best merchandise ever.
When we got to MK, the Dapper Dans were out, as well as some of my Main St squad.
I had to take a picture in front of the castle because of the awesome shirt I got from the Easter Bunny. Thanks Easter Bunny!
These two cuties were out meeting and I had to say hello.
We headed into Tomorrowland to take spin on the TTA
Forever obsessed with the front/back on the vehicle
Idk where we were headed to next but a CM approached us with this green card and asked if we would like to go on the astro orbitor aka the deadly rocket with no wait! So why not! The green card was basically a FP.
Mum hadn't been on the deadly rocket in a long time so this was a very thrilling experience for her. Seriously, I feel like I am going to die when I go on this lovely thing.
After we almost died, we got a spot for FoF since there was going to be a special Easter pre-parade like they always do. It is very cute and a nice little touch to the parade.
These girls are my favorite
Before ending our day at MK, we stopped in the Confectionery.
We just had to get these cake pops

April 12th and 19th: In which I don't treat myself
I don't have two many pictures on these two days so it is just gonna be easier to do two days in one so let's go!
***
Epcot didn’t have the Disney Nature sand sculpture this year for F&G but Animal Kingdom got it at the main entrance, which was cool. I think it fits much better anyways at AK and I think they are really cool so I enjoy seeing them.
The new branches in front of the Tree of Life are just beautiful. GAHHH I love them so much.
We went on Kilimanjaro where we saw some monkeys and other nice animals.
We explored Maharajah Jungle Trek next so we could see the gorillas.
This little birdy was playing in the water. He is so cute.
GORILLAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
HEART EYES.
I can’t remember for the life of me what we did after obsessing over the gorillas but I did get a MickeyBar because I hadn't had one in SO long.
Thanks CM for giving me a cracked one!!! You are too kind.
Oh my god can that pimple in the middle of my forehead just not be there or
Lol wow that was an exciting AK day
***
We didn’t have a park day on this day but we walked around Disney Springs (God, I have to get used to that).
RIP D-Street
Even though these things are way too overpriced for the amount of time you get to spend on them, the amphicars are pretty cool. I just want one of those ducks.
The Boathouse has some nice merch.
We went into Once Upon a Toy because I wanted this Orange Bird plush and it was necessary to look at the Tsum Tsums duh.
DUFF DUFF!
On our way out of DS (so weird. RIP DTD), we stopped at Erin McKenna's to try a cupcake. Just about everything here is vegan or gluten free. Now, I think it is a good option for people who have dietary restrictions, but for someone who is neither of those things and likes her sweets, this is not a place I would probably go to again unless it was the end of the world and all of the good desserts just magically disappeared. And if I am gonna eat a cupcake or something, it better be good. I learned from Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle to TREAT YO SELF and that is not the motto of this bakery whatsoever.
So there's that.

April 26th (part 1): Spring trolley show 2k16!!
We parked at the TTC and we were on the Heroes side, so it was just easier to walk to the Poly on the best pathway ever. I mean, I guess I could tell you guys about my secret pathway (no, it ain't illegal and/or trespassing) cause I am such a nice person. So if you ever park in heroes, there is some CM parking at the front of the Woody lot. You usually see some CMs over there that either work at the Poly or the TTC. There is a sidewalk right against some trees and instead of going towards the TTC, you go the other way. There is a metal bridge that crosses the street to the front of the Poly. No one ever uses that walkway except the CMs and lol now Disney is gonna see this and ban me from that walkway.
Plus you get a good view of the poly waterfall in the front.
I am 92.57% sure the monorail was down so we took the boat over to MK.
Wazzup Trader Sam's
We had a FP for Pirates first thing so we headed to Adventureland.
I wanted to go back to Main St so we could see the Spring trolley show so that's what we did. We still had a few minutes to kill so we browsed around in the Emporium.
So who's ready for some awesome trolley show pics?!!!!
BUT BUT BUT
You're welcome.

April 26th (part 2): Another chapter of FoF pictures because what else is new
We got some lunch after the trolley show at Columbia cause their food is wicked good.
Mum got the fried shrimp.
I got the tuna sandwich with those fantastic chips.
After lunch, we headed over to Tomorrowland so we could ride the TTA.
Next, we went to go see Carousel of Progress cause why not.
Then, it was time for FoF! WHOOP WHOOP.
I also give FoF a 10 out of 10.
Before leaving MK for the day, we went on BTMRR and had a wild time, y'all.

I could not agree with you more re McKenna's Bakery at Disney Springs. We tried the doughnuts - like eating flavourless sand. Glad its there for people who need it, but I won't be a repeat customer.
Great pictures, as always! Trolley and sunset at the Poly are particularly glorious.

We only tried one thing (I can't remember if it was a cookie or a cupcake) but it wasn't that fantastic. Yeah, I'm glad people with allergies or dietary restrictions have somewhere they can go for this stuff, but I'm not a fan.
Thanks so much!

May 2nd: Flowers and chipmunks
So it was another Epcot day on this lovely May afternoon. I have to say, I have become more appreciative of Flower and Garden. I love how pretty Epcot looks during this time of year. Photography is so much fun with all of the flowers AND there aren't as many drunk people as there are during Food and Wine. It is just so much more relaxing.
Anyways
We went to see the Tomorrowland preview first. The preview was good. I don't have much to say about that. I mean, I could rant about what is in the Magic Eye Theater now but that's for another day. Let's just say that I don’t understand why are we putting things in Epcot that you just watch on Netflix but anyways.
After we the preview ended, it was time to see some flowers and butterflies!
We headed into World Showcase and got some baklava in Morocco. Even though some of the food at the Tangerine Café doesn’t look so hot, it is really pretty in there. Same goes for the rest of Morocco. It is probably my favorite pavilion for all of the details.
We continued around WS some more and looked at all of the topiaries.
We stopped at whatever that booth is called with the dole whips and crap like that. I got the spicy hot dog and yeah it wasn't that memorable.
I also got the violet lemonade which I always love.
We made our way out of Epcot at this point.
But not without saying hi to this gal! I will dress up as her for Halloween one day.
For the rest of the night, we went to Fort to get some dinner from Trails End to go and of course we had to roast some marshmallows with my chippies!

May 10th (part 1): The day in which I get to celebrate the cutest person I know
For Mother's Day, Mum really wanted Mickey waffles, so we parked at the TTC and walked over to the Poly so we could grab some breakfast at Captain Cook's. We barely made it and had like 10 minutes to spare until lunch was going to start.
Here is Mum's perfect looking Mickey waffle. Seriously, the thing looks spectacular.
I had a croissant breakfast sandwich.
We sat outside and we had some visitors!
After we finished breakfast, we took the monorail to MK. We had a FP for Space first thing.
The Philharmonic was out on our way to Frontierland!
Before our BTMRR FP, we went to see the Country Bears! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MUM! LOLOLOL
We took a break in the Diamond Horseshoe. I needed some water because it was 10000 degrees out.
After relaxing and sippin' some water, we went on the TTA. Mandatory.
But this cutie tho
Seriously she is so cute
After our ride on the TTA, we got a spot for FoF.

May 10th (part 2): Characters in Flight!
After FoF ended, we took the bus from the G Flo to DTD aka Disney Springs.
We had to look in Once Upon a Toy because tsum tsums are life.
I got the Baymax one because of course I did.
So Mum had bought a Groupon for Characters in Flight and every single time we had tried to go on it, the wind was ridiculous or whatever. After the 3rd time of trying to go on that balloon, we actually got to go on!
We waited about 10 minutes in line to get our tickets and then we waited in another line where they tried to force us to take a picture and then another line to actually get on the balloon. I think we had about 12-15 people counting us on our balloon.
I have to say, it was pretty cool. Would we do it again with a Groupon? Probably not.
But the views were awesome.
#AnimalCranedom
I just had to get pictures of construction
It is crazy how much they have gotten done since this. Yes, they take about 12 years to build something, but they have made a lot of progress.
*heart eye emoji*
I really enjoyed it. You are up there for about 10-15 minutes and I think it is worth it with the Groupon. Otherwise, not so much. It is a cool experience though.
We walked back to the buses after that. Raglan Road had some dancers out which was cool. I love seeing entertainment out.

Stay tuned for the next update which I am SO excited about. You will not want to miss it and I ain't kidding around here.

May 23rd (part 1): That time I died and went to literal heaven
So my birthday was on the 22nd and Mum "surprised" me (lol I found out months before) by taking yours truly and a few of my friends to the Hoop Dee Doo! She also got us a private carriage ride and that was awesome. It was a great night.
So fast forward to the next day when I got the rest of my birthday present. Originally, we were going to stay at Riverside for two nights the following weekend but I ended up having training for my summer job and there was actually somewhere else I wanted to stay....
Dreams came true, yo.
WE WERE STAYING AT THE FOUR SEASONS FOR THE NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
I had wanted to stay there since our first visit, and considering I have a very expensive taste, this was gonna be good.
I have said this before and I will say it again, but with a Four Seasons on Disney property, Disney needs to step up their game. There are times when the Four Seasons is cheaper than staying at a deluxe and if that is the deal, Four Seasons all the way baby. Yes, of course I love the magic of Disney resorts but come on now. Once you see this resort and the service you are getting, just go with the Four Seasons. The end. They do have busing to the parks that run on a schedule too (we didn't use it of course).
Of course moderate and value resorts are cheaper, and I love some of the moderate resorts (except Coronado – I already ranted about that place once). But since we don't have DVC anymore and if we were ever going to pay full price for a deluxe resort, I would look into the Four Seasons first. And yo, that Florida resident discount tho on the room #perks. It is a very different experience than what you are getting at Disney by a long shot. I mean, Disney 5ever and always duh, but our stay at the Four Seasons was ridiculously awesome, so let me shut up and let's get into it!
We checked in, and the front desk person you are checking in with walks you down to your room if you are on the first floor (I think), and to the elevator if you are on another floor. We just got walked to the elevator since our room was on a higher floor. I am actually shocked they don't come into your room and put your clothes and underwear away for you. It's surprising.
Mum had put that it was my birthday on the reservation and when we went into our AMAZING room, I found this.
It is sad that I got like one birthday card from my actual family in MA. And then I got a card from my Four Seasons family.
LIKE WHAT.
That cake was really good and they gave me some lime popcorn which was off the chainz. That soda thing in the back was good as well.
AND THIS WAS ONLY THE START OF THE INCREDIBLE SERVICE THAT I MISS SO MUCH
Now, let's get into pictures of this room. And holy mother of all that is holy, those beds were the comfiest things in the history of comfy things. Like, it was literal heaven. Best. Beds. Ever.
Oh yeah, they have an iPad in the room where you can order room service from, make reservations, go on the internet, all of that fun stuff. It was cool.
Beds From Heaven: A Four Seasons Motion Picture.
I guess I liked the pillows on the Beds From Heaven??
The little coffee station thing. It was fancy.
They had some A+ products in the bathroom.
Dat tub tho. I think this is every Lush fangirl's dream tub.
This was our view of the in-progress million dollar homes, and valet parking aka Mercedes, BMWs, and then our crappy Scion.
There were some nice chairs on our balcony.
THEY HAD ROBES. AND SLIPPERS. And dudes, you can keep the slippers. I checked on Google before we took them, don't worry.
This was yours truly freaking the crap out because FOUR SEASONS.
That closet tho.
The GIANT bathroom. And they have the TV in the mirror! You better watch out G Flo Villas....
So my birthday was on the 22nd and Mum "surprised" me (lol I found out months before) by taking yours truly and a few of my friends to the Hoop Dee Doo! She also got us a private carriage ride and that was awesome. It was a great night.
So fast forward to the next day when I got the rest of my birthday present. Originally, we were going to stay at Riverside for two nights the following weekend but I ended up having training for my summer job and there was actually somewhere else I wanted to stay....
Dreams came true, yo.
WE WERE STAYING AT THE FOUR SEASONS FOR THE NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

May 23rd (part 2): But where is my nanny
Instead of the crappy flimsy paper Do Not Disturb things you put on your door, the Four Seasons have the little lights on your room number sign. The red means do not disturb and there is another color that means someone is cleaning your room. I think you change the color on your iPad but don't quote me on that. Here it is in action.
We headed down to the lobby where they had some iced tea out because Four Seasons (Four Seasons is my reason for everything).
We walked down to PB & G to get some FOOD.
We were seated right away and we had the same waiter that we had the last time we were there.
Mum got the pulled pork sandwich.
I got the chicken cobb salad. It doesn't look that fantastic from this picture but trust me, it was good. I loved the avocado in it.
And for dessert, we got the red velvet cake on a skewer/popsicle thing. They were tasty.
After we finished eating, we went down to the pool and lazy river because it is so awesome and necessary.
It was a lot of fun and I may or may not have pushed Mum through the water fountains but there is no proof and don't listen to anything she says.
After we finished swimming, we got a spot for Big Hero 6. They play movies by the pool several times a week and I was happy we were there on the right night. We stayed through the whole thing and CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT HOW THEY BRING AROUND BAGS OF POPCORN FOR GUESTS DURING THE MOVIE. I DIED BECAUSE SERVICE AND FOUR SEASONS.
There was a family next to us at the pool and we realized they had a nanny with them. The mother went off and did her own thing while the nanny stayed with the kids. This wasn't the only time we saw this. There was a family at PB & G with a nanny and it was pretty obvious. She was wearing all white and totally had that nanny vibe going on. Four Seasons, people.
We went back to the heavenly room to get changed. I wasn't so thrilled about walking around in a wet bathing suit. Not really my thing.
I wanted to do some long exposure, but of course I didn't have my tripod with me so I improvised with my phone and my wallet.
They are actually pretty decent considering what I was working with.
After I was done taking pictures and giving people weird looks because they were giving me weird looks because of my "tripod," or the fact that I was chillin' on the ground, we went back up to our room to get ready for bed.
AND HOLY CRAP I ALMOST FORGOT. THEY HAVE STACEY. YES. THE STACEY. THE QUEEN. ON THE TV.
Oh, Four Seasons, stop being so perfect.

May 24th (part 1): Goodbye heaven, but hello Harambe Market!
Sadly, our stay at the Four Seasons was almost at an end.
After we got ready, we walked down to Lickety Split to get some breakfast.
We just got some bagels, tea, and juice. Nothing too exciting. They do have a lot of options there including gelato, pastries, etc.
My love.
And that is all I have of our amazing stay at the lovely Four Seasons. Seriously, we had such a great time. It was very relaxing and a fantastic birthday gift. So incredibly lucky that we got to stay there. And of course I have to give a HUGE (please say that like Donald Trump) thank you to Mum. She is the best.
We got our bags from our room and went down to valet to get our car. So sad.
At least we were going to Animal Kingdom next! We had to stop at Publix (where shopping is not a pleasure whatsoever) first, but then we were on our way.
I was SO excited to see Harambe Market. We headed straight there.
I tried the curry sausage and it was good. I was hoping it would have more of a prominent curry taste but it really didn't. It is a good choice though for quick service if you aren't feelin' a hamburger. The vegetables were also pretty fresh.
Of course it started raining right when I got my sausage so we had to run for cover by the Dawa Bar. I was pretty sad that my sausage got wet..........................
Once the rain let up, I went back to Harambe Market to get some more pictures.

May 24th (part 2): More of Harambe Market!/May 31st: Chef Mickey's!
If you can't tell from these pictures how amazing Harambe Market is, you are blind or something. It is incredible. The amount of detail that is in just this one little section of the park is ridiculous. With everything coming to Animal Kingdom in the next few months/year(s), I just can't deal. If you aren't excited for Avatarland, just realize that my husband aka Joe Rohde is working on it and that is saying something. This park is like his child. It is absolutely perfection. I have been saying for YEARS how amazing AK is and now everyone is going to be like YAY I LOVE ANIMAL KINGDOM. FULL DAY PARK!!! And then there will be me shaking my head in the corner. The improvements they are making to AK are awesome, and that started with Harambe Market. GAHHH this stuff makes me so happy/excited/kjhdfjkhsdfjkhdsf.
We had a FP to use next for Kilimanjaro.
We had a FP to use for Everest before we headed out of best park ever.
Our next stop was MK because we wanted to see the new Inside Out merchandise and get some ice cream from the plaza.
ICE CREAM.
And that was pretty much our visit to MK because I was tired, cranky, anxious, etc, etc. It had been a long weekend, but absolutely amazing weekend. Best birthday weekend ever.
****
I only had like 5 pictures for the next update I was going to write and that would be stupid to write a whole chapter so I'll just include them here.
On the 31st, we tried out the new brunch at Chef Mickey's.
We hadn't been to Chef Mickey's since November 2012 so it had been awhile.
The food on the buffet was pretty good. They had some breakfast stuff and then some lunch options including salad, mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, kielbasa, meats, etc. Now, this isn’t a signature restaurant so the food isn't going to be amazing and outstanding by any means. This is a buffet and for buffet food, it was good. I prefer the Crystal Palace breakfast buffet, but this wasn't disappointing. Disney can get away with average buffet food because of the characters. Not a new concept, folks.
They do have mickey waffles which is a plus.
We did get the best character picture ever. Mickey literally took my phone and took a selfie of himself. It was priceless.
But why don't they sell those Mickey things that hold the sugar, salt, and pepper, and whatever else is in there in the Contemp gift shop
They have a bunch of options for dessert including the chocolate oreo mickey things (you people know what I am talking about. I hope) which I became OBSESSED with. Mum hated them so I ate hers.
Overall, we had a good meal at Chef Mickey's. We brought a friend of mine with us and she loved meeting all of the characters. We hung out at the monorail resorts for the rest of the day and went over to my Lodge.

June 5th (part 1): Loner of the day!
The week before I had to start my summer job, I decided to wake up extra early so Mum could drop me off at Disney for the day. I was excited. I had done some solo touring before, but never a full day. You can do whatever you want aka take pictures all day without the other person "patiently" waiting for you. It is a very different experience. I had some people give me weird looks because I looked like a total loner I guess.
So Mum dropped me off before she went to work, so I got at the TTC at about 7:30am. MK didn't open until 9 so I decided to walk over to the Poly. I looked around at the DVC buildings and then went over to the Great Ceremonial House.
I found the new window display by Captain Cook's which I was dying over. It is so vintage and amazing and it is still there at the Poly if you want to see it and die.
Annette!
How awesome is this?!
I thought I had more pictures?? Just go see it for yourself or look on one of the 500 Disney blogs. There are pictures of the original Poly rooms from the 70s and the resort itself. It's really cool. I always see people looking at it when we are there because it is AWESOME.
I took in some AC and relaxed before taking the monorail to MK for the Welcome Show! I got a spot in the second row. It was lovely as always.
With the rest of the crowd of people, I went straight to Fantasyland to see if I could get on 7DMT.
The line practically went down to Storybook Circus so that wasn't happening.
Instead, I walked down to Peter Pan because I was DYING to see the new stand by queue, and it did not disappoint! Mum hasn’t seen it yet because what person waits 85 minutes for PPF on a regular basis. And lol we don't get up early to go the parks usually.
Next stop was IASW! The woman in front of me kept turning around and giving me strange looks. I couldn't figure out if she thought being a loner was a bad thing or she thought it was weird of me to take pictures of AA children. Who knows.
I went to Gaston's next to get a snack. I got a chocolate croissant and a Lefou's brew. Such a perfect match.
After I finished up my snack, I got a spot for the first trolley show of the day.
Why are you people so cute
Dead.
Can we be friends
No really can we hang out
Next stop was Ariel's Underwater Deep in the Sea Adventure Ride Place Thing.
What up Scuttle
Tbh you are cuter in tsum tsum form
It was so hot outside when I got off Ariel's Underwater Deep in the Sea Adventure Ride Place Thing, so I took a break in the Figaro Room in Pinocchio's with a cup of Florida water.

June 5th (part 2): Idiots and FREEEEE ice cream
And then I went BACK down to Main St to watch the trolley show again because they are too perfect
It was lunchtime at this point. I had just had something to eat like 1.5 hours before, but I am always hungry.
I went to Columbia and got the tuna sandwich.
I had asked for a cup of water but they accidently gave me a lemonade and once they put that puppy down on your tray, they can't take it back. So I got a lemonade and water. I was going to say that I peed all afternoon because I sucked down both of them, but lol let's be real. They just turned into sweat because Florida.
I went to see Phillharmagic after lunch even though I can barely see 3D. That show is good though!
It was time for me to get a spot for FoF. I was not gonna sit in the sun though. I found a spot in the shade and I let some kids sit in front of me. I don't mind little kids being in front of me to watch the parade because A) they are little children and B) I am able to take pictures over their heads.
But I have a problem when the god forsaken parents start crap. The little children were already in front of me and their lovely mother decides she can squeeze in and practically sit on my lap. I wasn't planning on standing up because I didn't want to pass out from the heat so I was sitting down in the second row. I don't know if I was giving her a dirty look or it was just my face, but she saw me and was like "oh, did you want to sit here?" I told her no because I didn't want to get up first of all, but second of all, I didn't want to deal with her kids pressed up against me because there was literally no room up there. I didn't feel like squeezing into a spot that wasn't actually a spot until the mother made it one. Rant over.
So let's get into these FoF pictures that I had a hard time taking because I had someone sitting on my lap pretty much. And I don't know if it was an act of God himself or what, but some of these pictures are, in my opinion, some of the best shots I have gotten of FoF. Some of them are crappy, but I am pretty proud of myself considering I was dealing with an idiot in front of me.
Stop.
The pegasus girl photos I got are to die for and are probably some of my favorite pictures I have ever taken. I don't know why but I love them so much.
LIKE ISHDJKHSADJKHAJKDHJKAHDJKAHDJK WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER. THE SKY IS PERFECTION SHE IS PERFECTION. GAHHHHHHHH. JKSGHDJKHSADJKHADK.
Ok, I think I'm good.
The Dapper Dans were out afterwards and I got the Disney trifecta in the pictures. Dans, castle, and ears. BOOM. MIC DROP.
And then we have dans, castle, and balloons. MIC DROP AGAIN.
I went on the TTA next and I got the end of the car! My fave.
Next stop was the laugh floor!
And then I walked around Adventureland and BOOM thunderstorm. Duck and cover!
Mum called me at that point saying she was on her way. It was still sprinkling and thundering a little bit but since I am a rebel, I walked to Tomorrowland where I was going to get on the TTA.
But then I saw a CM from Auntie Gravity's walking around with an ice cream sundae asking anyone if they wanted it. The first family he asked straight up said no. WHAT THE CRAP. And then he must've saw me with my giant puppy eyes and I GOT THE ICE CREAM SUNDAE. It was like 4 scoops of vanilla with hot fudge and whipped cream. I don't know why he was just walking around with it offering it to people but WORKS FOR ME! And yes, I ate the whole thing cause I am a pig.
After I finished my FREEEEE sundae, I met up with Mum at the front of the park and I told her all about my FREEEEE ice cream sundae. She thought that was ridiculous that I ate the whole thing but it was FREEEE and I am a pig.
We walked the park for a few before we left. It had been one sweaty, long, and FREEEE ice cream filled day for yours truly.
Can we talk about this Orange Bird poster though
I want it
There was a rainbow at the TTC!

I am actually going to be staying at Disney's Hilton Head Resort starting tomorrow night! If any of you lovely people have tips or suggestions, let me know. It is our first time and I am so excited.

The pegasus girl photos I got are to die for and are probably some of my favorite pictures I have ever taken. I don't know why but I love them so much.
LIKE ISHDJKHSADJKHAJKDHJKAHDJKAHDJK WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER. THE SKY IS PERFECTION SHE IS PERFECTION. GAHHHHHHHH. JKSGHDJKHSADJKHADK.
Ok, I think I'm good.
The Dapper Dans were out afterwards and I got the Disney trifecta in the pictures. Dans, castle, and ears. BOOM. MIC DROP.
And then we have dans, castle, and balloons. MIC DROP AGAIN.
I went on the TTA next and I got the end of the car! My fave.
Next stop was the laugh floor!
And then I walked around Adventureland and BOOM thunderstorm. Duck and cover!
Mum called me at that point saying she was on her way. It was still sprinkling and thundering a little bit but since I am a rebel, I walked to Tomorrowland where I was going to get on the TTA.
But then I saw a CM from Auntie Gravity's walking around with an ice cream sundae asking anyone if they wanted it. The first family he asked straight up said no. WHAT THE CRAP. And then he must've saw me with my giant puppy eyes and I GOT THE ICE CREAM SUNDAE. It was like 4 scoops of vanilla with hot fudge and whipped cream. I don't know why he was just walking around with it offering it to people but WORKS FOR ME! And yes, I ate the whole thing cause I am a pig.
After I finished my FREEEEE sundae, I met up with Mum at the front of the park and I told her all about my FREEEEE ice cream sundae. She thought that was ridiculous that I ate the whole thing but it was FREEEE and I am a pig.
We walked the park for a few before we left. It had been one sweaty, long, and FREEEE ice cream filled day for yours truly.
Can we talk about this Orange Bird poster though
I want it
There was a rainbow at the TTC!

I am actually going to be staying at Disney's Hilton Head Resort starting tomorrow night! If any of you lovely people have tips or suggestions, let me know. It is our first time and I am so excited.
