Everything You Do, CELEBRATE YOU! - Polynesian - Club Level - TPV

[DexLabDeeDee]

This is hilarious.
You should have walked over and said hi!

I know! I just couldn't! My parents actually "offered" to do it for me - they said if I didn't, they would. I had to threaten them with bodily harm to keep them from going over there.

Haha. I wonder if she noticed the heated whispering coming from the table to her right.

Fantastic! Great that you had a chance run in with the infamous little Katie! I completely understand not saying hello and finding it awkward. I probably would be the same way. Either that or I would be like

and Katie would be wondering who the lunatic was dancing around for no apparent reason!

I was totally fangirl-ing and was really afraid of coming off as crazy. Plus, we would then be sitting even more awkwardly next to each other after I GUSHED all over her.

But, I should have said hi. <sigh>

I also find myself shy around face characters, so apparently in my mind Katie=Disney Princess.

That's just so funny...and totally something I would do too...sigh. But I'm hoping that the people here are as friendly IRL as they are on this board...so...I really hope I would actually have the nerve to say hi lol...

"Jamie. Doesn't it seem like that family is overly agitated?"

Plus, we would then be sitting even more awkwardly next to each other after I GUSHED all over her.

"We have to leave. NOW."
"But we haven't eaten yet!"
"WE HAVE TO GO RIGHT NOW!!!"

in my mind Katie=Disney Princess.

Not just in your mind.
I think we all feel like that.

 

[DexLabDeeDee]

She seemed really nice from five feet away. I'm sure it would have gone fine....on her end. Mine...maybe not so much.

At the end of their dinner, a family came over to look at a hidden mickey in the fireplace decorative grill and they practically climbed all over her and Jamie's table. Both of them were nice the whole time, even though it was a little bizarre. Who doesn't want random children climbing through one's dessert?

"Jamie. Doesn't it seem like that family is overly agitated?"


"We have to leave. NOW."
"But we haven't eaten yet!"
"WE HAVE TO GO RIGHT NOW!!!"

Hahahaha. That is EXACTLY the conversation I didn't want to happen!! I wanted to stay and eat the food that Katie said was so amazing. Which was part of my excitement, too.

This is what I was afraid was going to come out of my mouth:

"Look! There you are! I totally added this ADR because I read your trip report where you talk about loving the food and sitting in the back and look, here we are together, eating the food that you love in the back just like you said isn't that awesome? And look, there is Jamie, or should I say "Hymie"? Which do you prefer? Because we're going to be besties now and I don't want to be calling you by the wrong name the whole time we are sitting next to you practically eating together. You know, why don't we just scootch our tables together because, of course, you are going to want to sit with us now that you know that we're here and we know you! And well, you are responsible for us being here. Hopefully the food is as good as you say. Haha. No pressure. J/k. But really, this better be good because my dad is really not into the shenanigans that are happening in the main room because he's grumpy. Haha. In really life. Not the actual dwarf. Omigod! I can't believe I'm standing here talking to you. In Disney World. Life is fun, isn't it? Oh, haha, I haven't even introduced myself? You don't recognize me? It's Jenna - Dexlabdeedee from the DISBoards. No? Well, that's okay, you're probably just as speechless to meet me as I am to meet you! Haha.

So. Now that we've met. What are we going to be doing together tomorrow?"

OR

"Hi! I know you!" <stare stare stare stare stare. Still awkwardly staring with nothing coming out of my mouth. Aaaand, I want to die.>

 

[Leshaface]

Sooooo....this is stalker-ish but I saw you!

And was WAY to shy to say hi.

I was the one at Whispering Canyon who gave you a huge smile (in recognition) as I walked with my parents to the table next to you. Then realized when I got there that of course you wouldn't know me! So I awkwardly sat down and tried to be invisible the rest of the meal. My parents thought that this was all hilarious, BTW.

Here's my proof:

I super swear I am not a stalker!

This is awesome! Very paparazzi-ish!

And look, there is Jamie, or should I say "Hymie"? Which do you prefer?

And died at this because I'm pretty sure I would call him Hymie too!

I don't believe for a second that you'd be like that.
Take out all the punctuation?

(I'm leaving this period since I figure you need to breath now...)

"So now that we've met what are we going to be doing together tomorrow?"


That's better. I'd remove the spaces between the words, too. But that make it tough to read.
Otherwise I would.

Haha. Now I feel like I have to try it without taking a breath until the period. I wonder if I can do it....

But you're right, I would definitely be more like the second one. But I think I would like to watch the first one happen. To someone else.

 

[DaisyDuck001]

Has anyone heard from Katie since she got back? I wonder how she is doing. I hope all is good.

 

[smchristy]

Katie where are you? We miss you and need a dose of you and your fabulous trip report...and Hymie too. I hope you had a fantastic trip.

 

[Somnia]

Just read your entire trip report (and your last one) over the last couple days, can't wait to see the rest and future trip reports from you!

We're thinking of doing the Poly next year for our trip and I think our trip report has me convinced to do it.

 

[TimNJ]

WE miss you! Come back soon Katie!

 

[KathyM2]

Helllooooooo out there....

 

[beckykarstetter]

Is anybody else worried? I haven't seen her post on Instagram since October 12th. Not like our chatty Katie.

 

[han22735]

Probably scared away by people taking random pictures of her while eating dinner...

 

[HomeSweetDisney]

We miss you Katie! Hope things are well on your side of the pond and hope to see you back on the DIS soon

 

[FantasiaMagic]

Hi Katie!
I haven't been on the DIS in a while but I'm back and all caught up with your TR!

But this is what it really looked like further down, at 8am...!!!

That's too bad MK was so crowded at that time...

ALSO we waited ages in line for a photopass photographer, only to have a bunch of terrible pictures come out of it.

Oh you’re correcting the lighting?
Great, thanks!
Now, just retake the shot, exactly as it looked before…
And…

Oh my, that's not good. Maybe it was a newer CM? Or just an off day?

Then came Pooh, and he was the best interaction out of the bunch!
He absolutely LOVED my bag, he picked it up off the table, put it over his shoulder, and did this hilarious little saunter off with it!

Crystal Palace always looks like so much fun! I have to get there eventually. I love how all the characters loved your Eeyore bag! The same thing always happens to me with my Minnie bag when I go to meet characters and I love it!

The line at Peter Pan said 30 minutes, but we waited about 20.
Bless you inflated wait times.

I love when that happens!

He was very impressed by the kid’s room!
Here he is playing with the shadow wall.

That's my favorite part! It's adorable!

Then I took some more pictures of the Tangled bathrooms because I am obsessed.

What a great picture! It looks so professional!

You think Space Mountain is scary when you can’t see where you’re going…
Imagine riding it with the lights on…

Ooh that would be scary!

AH! Robin! Do you love HIMYM as much as I do?!?! It's one of my all time favorite shows!

It was now 6pm, and we were doing some resort dining!
Goodbye Hollywood Studios

You seemed to got a lot done in a short period of time at HS!

Great shot of WL, that resort is so pretty!

The bottom of the Wilderness Lodge totem pole is where I belong in life.

Aw! Every time my family and I go to WL, we always take a picture under totem pole as well! Great picture, it came out very well.

Then came the skillet.
This contained beefsteak, smoked pork ribs, BBQ pulled pork, sausage, roasted chicken, mash, corn on the cob, green beans, and baked beans…

YUM! I love that skillet! It's making me hungry looking at it right now!

It was SO hot, so I went straight to Club Cool to enjoy a free cup of Pineapple Fanta.

Yum that sounds good!

I saw Kermit and Miss Piggy:

Aw! What a great topiary.

I hadn’t eaten since breakfast and I was getting hungry, so I got a Dole Whip!

Ah that best Disney snack, IMO!

It was such a fun meet and greet, he really played up to my costume.

I love you and Jamie's MNSSHP, simple and adorable! Also great shot with Lotso. That would be a great character to meet one day! Where was he exactly?

We didn’t plan on standing in line, but we spotted Donald’s precious outfit, so I was satisfied.

Love this!!!

These photos aren't edited at all, this is really what it looked like:

Gorgeous.

Just look at these costumes.
They are SO cute!

Aw I love this so much! How great you can get a picture with all three of them!

I loved your pictures from the parade, fireworks and the Hocus Pocus show. I am a huge Hocus Pocus fan, and would love to get to MNSSHP one day to see the show!

Here's another little montage of the show, I like this video a lot!
Being close to the front meant I got some great footage of the villains.

I love this video! Thanks for sharing

With our candy bags getting full we stopped at the Monsters Inc Dance Party because Boo looked adooooorable.

Oh my gosh, I have always wanted to meet Boo up close at WDW.

Clearly stood in front of us is Nicolas Cage, in an Aladdin costume, in a Boo costume, IN A MONSTER COSTUME.
We're onto you, Nicolas.

...
I'm not on drugs I swear.
But I think only the people who read my Disneyland Paris report will appreciate the throwback

It’s very pretty now.

Love this shot!

We made our way to the Tree of Life to see It’s Tough To Be A Bug!

What a fun attraction!

I loved the show so much for three reasons.
1. A fun production of sensory Disney magic.
2. Nostalgic ties to a family favourite.
3. Dozens of young children screaming and crying in terror, which I find sadistically hilarious.​

Very true!
And I like that they give A Bug's Life some recognition, since there is no place else in WDW that they do that...

​

The meal looked delicious, another ADR I would love to get to eventually.

Then we went to World of Disney, because I’d seen this watch online before the trip

Gorgeous! What a wonderful watch. If I wore watches I would definitely want something that look like that!

I also liked the colour scheme of it.

Great phone case!

I am loving all your updates and am looking forward to reading more!
Also, I hope your most recent trip went well, I can't wait to hear all about that one as well!

 

[TwoLittlePrincesses]

Hope things are ok, Katie! Miss seeing your fun trip report entries!

 

[DexLabDeeDee]

Probably scared away by people taking random pictures of her while eating dinner...

Who would DO such a thing??


I'm also a little concerned too. I hope that it's just the Disney blues and a busy life keeping her away!

@pkondz, do you have a way of knowing if she's okay? I don't want to pry, I don't want details, just want to make sure that she's alive and well.

 

[pkondz]

@pkondz, do you have a way of knowing if she's okay? I don't want to pry, I don't want details, just want to make sure that she's alive and well.

We are friends on FB, but I haven't seen a post from her in a long time. But then again, she didn't much there anyway.
Funny, I was just thinking of checking her other social media outlets. At least to the extent that I know how.
She has an instagram link in her siggie. Haven't looked there since I don't do instagram and wouldn't know how to check it.
Do you?

 

[Mollydolly334]

I have Katie as a friend on Snapchat and she has been posting regularly on her "My Story," so she seems to be alive and well as far as I know
