Nice to see you around here again and congrats on getting all that work done & being closer to finishing your Ph.D As you said that's all well and good, but you know - Disney
Thank you! And yes, one must have priorities.
As usual I love the costumes and also I think it's great that CM's pay attention to the kids when they're wearing them. It shows that not all the CM's are miserable in their jobs nowadays and there are still a good many who enjoy being there and get into the spirit of things. Merida is one of my favorites, and I still remember being so excited for Ricky to meet Peter for the very first time back when he was 5.......
The picture of Cora and Tink fighting over "Peter" is awesome!
I don't think we met a bad CM all trip! We had one each on our previous trips, but everybody was pretty great this time. Even more impressive in the heat!
Ah, Nick and Judy. I LOVE Zootopia so much! I am making it a point to see Move It, Shake It when we're down there in 11 days! And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous that they're meeting at MVMCP this year and there aren't any parties during the week we're there. If there was, I'd definitely pay the $ just to meet them!
Seriously, we need a regular meet with them! There has to be some demand for it. I hope you get a chance to see them IN ELEVEN DAYS!!!
First off - welcome back!! And CONGRATS!!!! I'm so glad all went well with the dissertation! I don't know much about the whole Ph.D process...but good luck getting the internship you want??
Thank you! The internship thing isn't even a part of most Ph.D. programs. Unfortunately, it's a requirement for psychologists since our degree isn't purely academic, but will lead to professional licensure. So we get the combo of having to complete research (thesis/dissertation) and clinical requirements (practicing/internship). The internship is the very last thing (woot!), but the process of getting one is pretty frustrating.
Secondly - Will, at 2.5 years old, has asked to meet Peter Pan (he is a little obsessed). So I looked on KtP today and saw that he does indeed meet (backed up by your experience). I thought I remembered he did, but I wasn't certain. Hopefully he still will in June 2017. My question is, how early did you line up for him? I'm assuming you used KtP times? I want to make sure we get there early enough to not wait in too much of a line but then again I don't want to wait too long for him to come out either...lol.
Yes, we used KtP meet times. The problem is he doesn't start meeting until late in the day, so there's no early first set to go to. We showed up about 10 minutes before his first set and the line was backed up to the CHH exit on that side. It moved pretty quickly once he came out, though.
He also mentioned meeting Elena, even though we do not watch the show...lol. I'm going to push for Gaston for sure, though!
Love all the outfits/costumes. Great meets and great pp photos! I think we will try for the Move It, Shake it parade if its still there June 2017. I seem to remember it running fairly early in the day. Does it have multiple times?
The Tink meet was awesome and the Sword in the Stone photos are so funny! Great update!
Mine want to meet Elena too! If she's in PFH with one of the main princesses we will likely end up meeting her no matter what.
Move it shake it does have multiple times, I think usually 3. We caught the 12:30 one, which I think is the first one of the day.
Congrats on the dissertation and good luck with the internships! It must be surreal to be almost done!
Those are some awesome pictures of the character meets! I adore the one of Cora and Tink fighting over Alex--that's such a hilarious shot!
Thank you! Surreal is the perfect word for it. This point felt very far off and abstract (and impossible) when I started.
I loved the fighting shot too! I think that was Tinkerbell's idea.
OH MY GOSH ALL OF THE CHARACTER INTERACTIONS ARE ADORABLE I CAN'T HANDLE IT!
Lol thank you! Every year I think we'll do less of them, then I look back at the photos and realize that nope, we will still do a ton of them each time.
