Let the Wookiee Win: An August Solo Adventure! *Updated 11/17*

Happy New Year, Everyone!!!

I hope you're all doing well and having a wonderful 2018 so far! I have surpassed @ariane37 in our competition for Worst TR Reporter of 2017 :rotfl: But I'm back and hope to get myself back on track. My sister's visit from England was wonderful and she arrived back to London safely a couple days ago. Our trip to Disney had many, many wonderful moments but wasn't without some frustrations (namely the weather! I'm sure @xlsm, @Pluto0809, @MeghanEmily felt my pain!). The weather was so bad, in fact, that we ended up switching both our days so I didn't end up seeing anyone from the Dis :guilty: In other news, my computer totally broke down on me a couple weeks ago and I only replaced it two nights ago and am finally logging back onto the Dis! I have missed you all! I'll slowly start to catch up on all your TRs and try to get mine back on track. The problem will be dealing with my photos as I *believe* I have them all in the cloud... :rolleyes1 They sure aren't on my phone as that also broke down a couple months ago and I had to replace that too :headache: :laughing:

At any rate, here are a couple from the trip during our brunch at Chef Mickey's - definitely one of the highlights of our the trip as the kids had an absolute AMAZING time (as did the crazed adult in the Minnie costume in the second picture... :rolleyes1)

Are these two kids just the cutest or what?! :goodvibes They just make my heart so happy :love:

You'll note I'm wearing leggings not for the fashion statement but for the warmth. I actually had two pairs on that day! And our day at MK I had two pairs of leggings AND a pair of jeans and I was still frozen the whole day :sad2: But at least I was at Disney with some of my most favorite people, right? :goodvibes

See ya real soon!

Oh my gosh, horrendous! So cold!

Nooo! You're really struggling with technology! :(

This is soo sweet! And I feel you on the double leggings thing. When debating a name for my future TR for this trip, I thought long and hard about calling it, "But What About Second Pants?" Because I wore two pairs of sweat pants and/or leggings most days and I still froze. We would be out, and I'd reach into my book bag and tell my family, "hold on, I need more pants!" Or, "guess what! I'm wearing two pants!" was said on more than one occasion. *shiver*
 
Happy New Year, Everyone!!!

Right back atcha!

I hope you're all doing well and having a wonderful 2018 so far!

This year has been more of an even one, so far. Last year was odd.

Wait... that's just math.

I have surpassed @ariane37 in our competition for Worst TR Reporter of 2017 :rotfl:

:laughing:
But you have good excuses!

The weather was so bad, in fact, that we ended up switching both our days so I didn't end up seeing anyone from the Dis :guilty:

Oh, no! That's too bad!!

They sure aren't on my phone as that also broke down a couple months ago and I had to replace that too :headache: :laughing:

Holy crap. What techno god did you tick off???

Chef Mickey's - definitely one of the highlights of our the trip as the kids had an absolute AMAZING time

That's great! :)

(as did the crazed adult in the Minnie costume in the second picture... :rolleyes1)

:laughing:

:goodvibes


Pretty as always! :)

And our day at MK I had two pairs of leggings AND a pair of jeans and I was still frozen the whole day :sad2:

Holy crap!
I don't do that when it's -40. Just how cold was it???

But at least I was at Disney with some of my most favorite people, right? :goodvibes

::yes::

Welcome home!
 


Nooo! You're really struggling with technology! :(
I really am! I hope my luck starts to change! :laughing:

This is soo sweet!
Thanks :goodvibes

And I feel you on the double leggings thing.
Right?! Love your "I need another pair of pants!"

This year has been more of an even one, so far. Last year was odd.

Wait... that's just math.
:rotfl2:

But you have good excuses!
This is true!

Oh, no! That's too bad!!
It was! ::yes::

Holy crap. What techno god did you tick off???
I have no idea! But hopefully my last offering will fix this for the future! ;)

Pretty as always! :)
Awww shucks :goodvibes

Holy crap!
I don't do that when it's -40. Just how cold was it???
:laughing: I know! I'm a seasoned New Yorker which means I know cold... but when you're not just running to and from your car into the warmth of the closest building and instead waiting in crowded parks to even use the bathroom, it seemed a lot colder than it actually was probably :rotfl:

Welcome home!
Thank you!

Welcome back!
Thanks!

And omg I LOVE your Minnie dress. Like a true girl I would like to know where you got it. Too cute!
Thank you! I got it at Burlington a few years ago :thumbsup2

Just got caught up. Hope you had a great trip with your family.
Thank you! I really did :goodvibes

Can't wait to continue reading your report!!
Thanks! With any luck, I'll have another update this weekend... :thumbsup2
 
Welcome Back, love your Chef Mickey pictures! Sorry it was a chilly trip but like you said you were on vacation so that was the best part!!
 


Happy New Year to you too! May this one be a bit less technology challenged. And I hope that your "belief" that your pictures are in the cloud turns out to be the truth.

Sorry your weather wasn't too good on your trip...but it might still beat the weather we've been having here in the northeast the past couple weeks...and I imagine upstate NY must have been beyond frigid.

Your pic with Minnie is a keeper! Too bad you didn't have yellow shoes...
 
Happy new year!

Happy to see you’re back! I find it even hard to keep up with reading all the TR I want to follow!
 
Adorable Minnie dress, and man I hear you on being cold. I was there last week too, and I was wearing mittens (with hand-warmers inside) for most of the days.
 
That cold!!! BRRRRRR!!!! I honestly wore two pairs of pants almost every single day of our trip! Thankfully the leggings under jeans trick worked very well! We didn't have coats with us either, so I wore like 3 or 4 shirts every day, too. I just kept telling myself, you are in Disney World! You are not at work!!!
 
I have surpassed @ariane37 in our competition for Worst TR Reporter of 2017 :rotfl:
:laughing: OK so right now you're the front runner, but let's see what happens between now and whenever I actually finish my TR!

Our trip to Disney had many, many wonderful moments but wasn't without some frustrations (namely the weather! I'm sure @xlsm, @Pluto0809, @MeghanEmily felt my pain!). The weather was so bad, in fact, that we ended up switching both our days so I didn't end up seeing anyone from the Dis :guilty:
Oh man, that blows. I've had DISMeets planned and had to miss them due to schedule changes, too. Hopefully there will be a next time :)

And our day at MK I had two pairs of leggings AND a pair of jeans and I was still frozen the whole day :sad2:
When Steve and I went January 2016 it was like a bad NY winter down there. During the day we had on our North Face jackets, hats, I had gloves, long pants, two pairs of socks :sad2: One day I even had to buy earmuffs at AK because my hat wasn't cutting it. I hate the August heat but being that cold in Disney was no fun, either.

Ah...............hope to see you real soon!!!!! :D
 
I have no idea! But hopefully my last offering will fix this for the future! ;)

Nope. Everyone makes those offerings.
They're always rejected. Sometimes quickly. Sometimes it takes a year or two.

:laughing: I know! I'm a seasoned New Yorker which means I know cold... but when you're not just running to and from your car into the warmth of the closest building and instead waiting in crowded parks to even use the bathroom, it seemed a lot colder than it actually was probably :rotfl:

This is me.
-30 out.
Boots. Jeans. T-shirt. Hat. Gloves.

Good to go shovel for an hour.
 
I hope you're all doing well and having a wonderful 2018 so far! I have surpassed @ariane37 in our competition for Worst TR Reporter of 2017 :rotfl:

I'm so glad you're back!

I love your outfit! You can pretend it was for a fashion statement, Minnie's got them on too :rotfl:
 
Welcome Back, love your Chef Mickey pictures!
Aww, thank you! :goodvibes

Sorry it was a chilly trip but like you said you were on vacation so that was the best part!!
This is so true ::yes::

Happy New Year to you too! May this one be a bit less technology challenged.
Thank you! Yes, I sure hope so! :laughing:

And I hope that your "belief" that your pictures are in the cloud turns out to be the truth.
You and me both, my friend, you and me both... ;)

Sorry your weather wasn't too good on your trip...but it might still beat the weather we've been having here in the northeast the past couple weeks...and I imagine upstate NY must have been beyond frigid.
Yes! That was the weather report I was getting from people back home - it may have been cold in Florida, but it was REALLY cold here in New York! :faint:

Your pic with Minnie is a keeper! Too bad you didn't have yellow shoes...
Thank you! Right?! I actually do have the yellow shoes... I just didn't think to pack them! :confused3

Happy new year!
Thank you!

Happy to see you’re back! I find it even hard to keep up with reading all the TR I want to follow!
Thank you, Lauren :goodvibes It really does get challenging at times, especially when things are especially busy as they have been for the holidays and everything!

Adorable Minnie dress, and man I hear you on being cold.
Thank you! :goodvibes

I was there last week too, and I was wearing mittens (with hand-warmers inside) for most of the days.
Oh, that's right! I couldn't remember all the tickers I saw from all us Disers going down aroudn the same time. Glad you were prepared, we weren't :laughing:

That cold!!! BRRRRRR!!!!
Right?! It was terrible!

I honestly wore two pairs of pants almost every single day of our trip! Thankfully the leggings under jeans trick worked very well! We didn't have coats with us either, so I wore like 3 or 4 shirts every day, too. I just kept telling myself, you are in Disney World! You are not at work!!!
That's right, you went down for the race, right? I lost track of all of us who were down there! We should have all met and huddled up for warmth :laughing:

:laughing: OK so right now you're the front runner, but let's see what happens between now and whenever I actually finish my TR!
:rotfl2:

Oh man, that blows. I've had DISMeets planned and had to miss them due to schedule changes, too. Hopefully there will be a next time :)
It was such a bummer! But yes, hopefully next time :thumbsup2

When Steve and I went January 2016 it was like a bad NY winter down there. During the day we had on our North Face jackets, hats, I had gloves, long pants, two pairs of socks :sad2: One day I even had to buy earmuffs at AK because my hat wasn't cutting it. I hate the August heat but being that cold in Disney was no fun, either.
Exactly! I think I'll take the August heat though ;)

Ah...............hope to see you real soon!!!!! :D
:thumbsup2

Welcome back and Happy New Year!
Thank you!

Glad to hear you had a nice trip despite the weather!
It really was :goodvibes

I think everyone is a bit behind with the holidays and all. Welcome back!
True! And I'm counting on that fact... because that'll mean I'm not quite as behind as I might think :laughing:

The cloud kind of creeps me out.. I don't understand how it works! It makes me feel old.
Right?! I don't understand it either!

Very CUTE!!! Did you walk around all day in those shoes?!?!
Thank you! That was actually the only "Disney" thing we did that day, so I didn't have much walking to do after all :thumbsup2

Nope. Everyone makes those offerings.
They're always rejected. Sometimes quickly. Sometimes it takes a year or two.
:faint:

I'm so glad you're back!
Thank you!

I love your outfit! You can pretend it was for a fashion statement, Minnie's got them on too :rotfl:
Yes! Very true! I was merely trying to be authentic, right?! :laughing:
 
I think Disney cold is worse than other cold. It’s the same on the Gulf Coast — wet cold feels so much worse.
