When we stayed at OKW back in 2007 we had a bus stop right outside our building and it was awesome, especially since the boys were 5 and 2 then. I just can't remember what building lol!
I love OKW - do you think you'd ever stay there again?
Please
I'm so sorry you're dealing with that but your hair looks 100% better than mine when the Florida humidity gets to it, and I don't have psoriasis!
Haha, thank you. Seriously though, just wait
. By the end of this trip, I had given up completely and just let my hair do it's own thing (and it decided it's own thing was to create a giant knot that actually took me like 3 weeks to fully get untangled). Also - at least I had a full head of hair at that point, I actually have some lovely bald patches now - so my hair goes in a side braid every single day to hide the baldness. I just keep telling my doctor it need to grow back somewhat before my wedding!
And your hair always looks great in your pictures!
Um, this isn't limited to teen girls, Ricky and his friends do it, too. We'll be in the car and he'll take a picture of his feet-what??? and post on snapchat. I guess I'm old because I don't understand that crap!
I have Snapchat on my phone, and I've tried getting into it but it just seems stupid to me. I guess I'm too old for it too?
I don't think I ever commented on that when you posted about it in your PTR but I think it's such a cool idea! I'd love to see a picture of the finished product
I'll be sure to post a picture later in this trip report
Looking forward to Frozen and like you, I haven't researched-just looked at pics!
Florida is the worst on most people's hair...you look great!
Frozen was fun! I loved the animatronics - so wonderfully done!
And thank you. As the trip progressed, my skin got worse and worse - I was pretty miserable by the end.
Such a fun TR to read and a very memorable trip
Thank you for joining in!
I love all of your expo purchases! Both pairs of shoes are amazing ... I actually really want the Toy Story ones (I know they're men's shoes, but I still really love them!)
Luke's Toy Story shoes are so bright! You can see them a mile away haha, but they are so nice! We're both just waiting impatiently for the snow to melt so we can wear our RunDisney sneakers again
I'm glad to hear that you loved Frozen Ever After. I'm also a big Frozen fan, and I'm really excited to eventually ride FEA, so it's kind of disappointing when people complain because it's not Maelstrom (which, btw, I didn't actually like). I'm excited that a fellow Frozen fan enjoyed it, and I'm hoping that means I will enjoy it too!
I'm such a new Disney Parks fan that Maelstrom was closed before my first trip, so I had nothing to compare the Frozen ride to (except the giant construction wall that existed in it's place on my first trip haha). I thought the animatronics in the Frozen ride were so awesome!
Haha Gerald the anterless reindeer. That's hysterical. I love when the characters and CMs enjoy having fun with the guests!
That was one of the best character interactions we've ever had, it was excellent!
I made it over here!!! Sounds like a fabulous start to your trip!
Not gonna lie, I am a little anxious about the Expo!! I keep reading horror stories of entire days wasted in line there, etc. Looks like you were able to get lots of great items and still make it for plenty of park time, so I'm hopeful!!! How does the whole New Balance shoe thing work?? I need insider info, here, Fallon!!
My suggestion for the Expo would be to get there early! It was really overwhelming the first year we went, just so many people everywhere, but by this trip we knew what to expect. They sell runDisney merch on the main floor of the Expo, but they were also selling stuff upstairs from the race packet pickup location (I can't remember the names of all the different buildings). The main floor of the Expo was packed, and people were lined up to buy their merch, but we went to the other location and while it was still busy, it was much more manageable.
For the shoes, they release the designs in December, and the January race weekend is the first time they are available (the designs change each year, and for the two years we've been actually paying attention, there has been 4 different designs each year). The night before the Expo opened, there was a "virtual queue" where you had to sign up for a spot to buy the sneakers (that booth is always SLAMMED, so so busy). Something had glitched when Luke went to sign up, and he ended up with a time slot that was like 4:30pm or something. We just explained that to a worker once we got there (around noon) and they were able to squeeze us in - we knew which styles we wanted, and we knew our size so they just had to grab the box and bring it to us. We quickly tried them on, and were standing at the cash paying for them right away. I'd say in total we were in the New Balance booth for under 10 minutes.
I'm just joining in! I signed up for the 2018 marathon as my first full marathon so I'm enjoying reading about your trip since we'll be there next year around the same time. I'm sorry you had to deal with the psoriasis, it sounds painful
I'll chime in that your hair looks fine, though
Maybe I'll see you there! I'm finally getting my psoriasis under control, I now have a really great family doctor who is willing to help me get everything back to normal. Stupid auto-immune diseases...
