Canadian Buffoon's Semi-EPIC Vacation - 10/29 - Link to new TR!

[franandaj]

Ok, I'm so far behind. But I don't want I
To miss the fact that I caught it on this update, now you're even sponsoring Disney attractions!

 

[buzzrelly]

Ladies and gentlemen and Mark.
Believe me when I say that
Disney is the last place you
want to squash a rodent.

Doc handed me Su-Lynn's gift.
At least... I think he did.
It's possible that she gave
him something else.
How would I know?
But this had that... chunky
feel to it, so I'm pretty sure
I got the right thing.

Thanks for including me, Su-Lynn!

So sweet! You're an honorary Chunky! I'm ChunkyBuzzy

Since we were celebrating Elle's
graduation, we thought Splash
would be a fun way to show it.

You forgot to invite those people in the first two rows to the celebration!

We boarded the back of the
boat and pillaged and plundered
and all in all had a fun ride.

That's amazing! Did you carry that stuff around just to get that picture?

I will say this about the Tiki Birds.
It's definitely air conditioned.

And Walt was part of it

HM was on the docket next, but
it was temporarily closed.
We ducked into Memento Mori
where Elle got this little beauty:

It must be done.
If you ride it, a foot photo
is an absolute requirement.


That's me on the left.

That's what I thought.

Before succumbing to the heat
and melting into a gooey mess,
we finally got inside the restaurant
and into the blessed air conditioning.
Our view:

Not the worst view in the world
to dine to, don't you think?

Yes! We love The Plaza, and their AC works really well!

I leaned in for a kiss and...
well... I guess the reality
of the situation was a bit
much for Elle and she
screamed "NO!!!" and pushed
us apart.

Tragic.
Note to self.
Next time you want to
make out with a fish,
leave the kid at home.

Must admit I felt badly for her.
I'm thinking she probably has
to put up with some pretty
rude behaviour from ill-mannered
guests on a regular basis.

I'm sure she does..people are gross. I don't know how they do it!

I noticed that there were
some bushes on the other side
of the wall and they had twitched.
I remembered the duck that
had flown into the planter
and I leaned over to take a look.
This is what I saw:

The duck had just laid some eggs!
I think this because when I mentioned
it to Elle, she spotted an egg about
six inches away from the others.
And when I looked again, later,
momma had moved it over to join
the other eggs.
Would seem to mean that at least
that egg had just been laid?

I don't want to bore you with
photos of fireworks that you've
already seen 1,000 times,
but I will post a couple if you've
ever thought about doing the
(seated) dessert party and
want to know what the
vantage point looks like.

As you can see, due to the angle,
the fireworks are offset from
what you'd see if you were
standing in the hub.

Nevertheless, I did enjoy the
novelty (and stress-free) of not
having to line up ahead of time
and being able to sit during the
entire performance.

That looks like a decent view! I'm glad you posted this because next time I bring my mom I think we'll do the seated party. I felt bad for her last time having to stand.

IASW


And this time, shockingly,
it was a walk on.

Lucky you!

We arrived at the OKW bus stop
at 10:34pm and our bus arrived
at the exact limit of allowable time
at 10:39pm.

Perfect! Nice to see your Bus Pass is still working!

 

[docsoliday1]

Oh, no.
They occupy a deluxe suite
right at the very top
of the castle.

Must be a huge nut stash up there.

No! Not bad writing.... a invitation to come along with you.

Good point....and agreed!

Is that their safe place from almost-murderers like you?

I need to PM @docsoliday1 !! Now that my plans are more set I can maybe find a time for a quick hello!

Yay!

Who? Me?

Bad girl, bad girl, what cha gonna do...

 

[MeghanEmily]

I was a bit concerned about
PR and Elle.
You just never know if two people
will get along or not.

Within seconds, PR and Elle were
chatting away and completely
ignoring the two old dudes
who were paying for everything.

Awesome! How great that they could enjoy their meet while you did!

Thanks for including me, Su-Lynn!

Congrats on becoming a chunky!!

If it's not particularly clear,
I'm handing Elle her diploma
(she's wearing her Disney
graduation mouse ears)
while Doc and PR applaud
her accomplishment.

This is awesome! Your Splash photos tend to be excellent anyway, but I particularly like this one. Congrats to Elle!

I wore some
headgear myself.
It says, "Proud Parent".
And you can juuuust make
it out at is flies off my head.

Whoops!! I'm sure this is a common occurrence. I've nearly lost a hat or two, myself.

This is super.

We glanced back as they
walked away and noticed
the little boy holding
his dad's hand in his hook.

Worth it.

I will say this about the Tiki Birds.
It's definitely air conditioned.

Haha it seems that you and I have the same feeling about the Tiki Birds. Or, that is, lack of feeling.

I have to take a photo of
my favourite trees.
It's a rule.

I don't know if I've ever noticed these trees! Thanks for sharing!

That's me on the left.

Nice shoes

Tragic.
Note to self.
Next time you want to
make out with a fish,
leave the kid at home.

Oh no! She must have been traumatized! You didn't think this one through very well.

Must admit I felt badly for her.
I'm thinking she probably has
to put up with some pretty
rude behaviour from ill-mannered
guests on a regular basis.

I'm sure this is true. Very unfortunate.

No, no, no. That won't do.
I asked if we could sit at a closer
table and he brought us to one
of the ones we'd picked earlier.
Yusss! Unobstructed view!

Fantastic! Some nice fireworks photos you shared, despite the angle. Sounds like it was an enjoyable way to watch the show. I agree with your HEA vs Wishes assessment.

The duck had just laid some eggs!

Oh wow! How neat to witness! I'm sure it can be tricky to find a safe spot to hide one's eggs in a park as busy as Magic Kingdom.

 

[pkondz]

We shall!
I already said we shall.

I know, I know!
Very poor writing.
Sorry I missed that.
I fixed it.
Or enough at least.

The best is yet to come.

Ummm...pretty sure it's supposed to be "Here we goooooo!"

Nope. Rode PP earlier.

And she even had to repeat for the hard of hearing old guy.

What?

While birds of prey are high up, I didn't realized they were the squirrel's friends.

As I explained to Liesa,
they have a suite at the
top of the castle.

I tried to hide.

I knew you would
It's why I snuck up
on you.

BTW: Since she's now 18 and I no longer have to be concerned about her safety/privacy like I was, it's okay if you use her real name...Penny.

Ah! Okay.
I erred on the side of caution.

Okay, totally not true...I asked him to make sure with Elle it would be okay to join them on splash. If she hadn't been okay with it, we would have had a dismeet, yes, but no ride together.

And I did ask her.
She said she was fine
with it and when I told
her we could use you
in the photo...
She replied. "Yeah!"

None here either.

It's okay, they can ask me...that particular night, I sucked! Not even trying to sugar coat it.

Dude.
You really did.
But you made up for it
by recommending a place
with excellent pot roast.

I've cried about some things (recently), but that wouldn't do it.

I know.

Again, my deepest condolences.

And this is different from normal how?

Good point.

Nope. She gave me a dinglehopper made of real gold, but you didn't know that. Muwaaahhaaa

I KNEW IT!!!!!!

And was glad to. I know I told her, but tell Elle I'm happy for and/or proud of her again, please.

I will!

Funny thing...I didn't care the least about the springform pan. I thought I'd told you this already, but thanks.

I know.
But that was something
we went to the locker for.

What he's not telling you, dear readers (because he's humble and doesn't want to talk about what he does for others) is he brought me a bottle of maple syrup -- remember the glass item he almost lost at bag check? He also brought me some kindereggs. Now, for those of you who don't know, they're illegal to bring into the US (IN THEIR ORIGINAL FORM). They were banned in the US because parents who choose to sue someone else vs. taking responsibilty for their own choices (non-parenting) or not properly supervising their children wanted to blame the manufacturer. Don't mention EVERY other country in the world can get them without trying to blame someone else for their children trying to eat them whoel (or their own lack of parenting). Okay, I'll get off my soapbox. So, what he did to make them legal to bring was to separate the chocolate shell from the yellow capsule within. This is way past the call of duty and even more so the call of friendship!!!! Lastly, I had asked if he could have Elle knit me a "dwarf" hat. I have a purple (my favorite color) dwarf shift with Doc on the back and wanted a matching hat. I wanted to pay her, but she would not allow me. So, like father, like daughter...generous. Canadians are renowned for politeness.....@pkondz and Elle are, in my mind, renowned for generosity.

Nah. Deep down we're jerks.
See below.

Absolutely agreed on both counts.

Not at all unexpected of both of you.

Really?
Normally we like to trip
little kids and point and
laugh at them when
they cry.

Everyone needs a hobby.

I've never been there, but I like it.

You should pop in.
They have some pretty
cool stuff in there.

Of course. it's the background image of my phone. It's kinda funny how many of these I have on my phone.

It is?
Feet for your background?

I'm not sure which is more scary...
Elle has hairy legs
or
yours are shaved.

Pretty normal.
She just forgot to shave,
and I'm naturally smooth.

I take pictures each time I ride WEDway. If I'd remembered to take the same spot each time, it would have been cool to do time lapse. I could post progress, but I'm sure you'd rather see it in person.

Make a gif out of it!

Pretty girl you got there....inside and out!

And you're absolutely right.

Nope. Given it was May, I figure it was hot.

You figured right.
Dude... You were there!

Did she thank Elle for saving her?

On the contrary.
She threw her arms around
me and begged me to take
her away.

I told her she had to be a good
girl and keep greeting kids
and excited young boys
for a while longer.

Okay, all joking and teasing aside...that's a really cool picture and thing to see!

It was! Surprised us.

Agreed. HEA is okay, but never as good as Wishes from both a storyline and feeling standpoint. I know some folks have grown to like HEA, but to me it's just a bunch of disjointed movie clips projected on the castle and no STORY.

That's what it is.
Wishes got you in the feels.
This is...
Cool projections? Check.
Fireworks? Check.
Emotions? Um...

Oh no!!! $%#@#$

Eloquently said.

Not sure you ever had any....you like me.

There is nothing about that
statement that I can dispute.

Fantastic on both counts!

It was pretty great.

Yep. Was he observing or just needing the potty?

When ya gotta go...

 

[pkondz]

No! Not bad writing.... a invitation to come along with you.

Still wasn't good.
Changed it.

Is that their safe place from almost-murderers like you?

I need to PM @docsoliday1 !! Now that my plans are more set I can maybe find a time for a quick hello!

That escalated quickly.

Who? Me?

Yes. You!

I'm always trying to get a a better one of the rockets.

And that's something I
rarely photograph.

Did they mistake vegetarian for vegan? I was thinking mashed potatoes would be something nice to have added... ???

Hmmm... maybe?
Good thought, though.

Of COURSE!! You've seen plenty of my splurges over the years!

 

[docsoliday1]

I know, I know!
Very poor writing.
Sorry I missed that.
I fixed it.
Or enough at least.

Not at all...just Canadian politeness....repeatedly asking if we shall do something.
I said YES already. Sheesh!

What?

Huh?

I knew you would
It's why I snuck up
on you.

<Makes note to self...remember camo outfit next trip to Disney>

Ah! Okay.
I erred on the side of caution.

I knew you had...and I appreciate it....that's why I was letting you know it was okay.

I know.

Again, my deepest condolences.

Sorry...shouldn't have put that part...wasn't looking for sympathy, but rather trying to make the point sucking at pool one night would not make me cry. Everyone can (and I do often) have an off night and that night I most definitely was.

Good point.

Quit talking about the top of my head!!!

I KNEW IT!!!!!!

Okay, fine...I'll confess.

It was actually Ariel who gave me the golden dinglehopper and it was payment to try to keep you away. She's probably mad at me now. I'm not too worried, since it weighed about 10 ounces and the price of gold now, I now have enough for an AP renewal, so good trade off.

Everyone needs a hobby.

Mine is watching people from up north sweat when they come to Disney. Quite amusing.

It is?
Feet for your background?

Sorry...not background, my lock screen. My background is just solid blue. The WEDway feet picture is mostly blue anyway, so it probably could work as a background.

Make a gif out of it!

If I'd thought to take them from the same spot, yes. Time lapse, gif...essentially same concept.

You figured right.
Dude... You were there!

It was hot, yes, but not as bad as the last few days. Heat index yesterday was 110.

On the contrary.
She threw her arms around
me and begged me to take
her away.

Not buying it.

Cool projections? Check.
Fireworks? Check.
Emotions? Um...

See, for me the projections aren't even that cool...there are so many nooks and crannys on the castle, the projections are difficult to follow (for me). The projections for the SW fireworks show are much better since it's a mostly flat surface.

Eloquently said.

I has a way with them thar things....ummm.....yeah, words.

 

[docsoliday1]

Who? Me?

Yes. You!

Couldn't be!

 

[pkondz]

Ok, I'm so far behind. But I don't want I
To miss the fact that I caught it on this update, now you're even sponsoring Disney attractions!

Hi Alison!
Been missing you... also lamenting
the fact that I can't be joining
the gang this time round.

 

[pkondz]

So sweet! You're an honorary Chunky! I'm ChunkyBuzzy

I like that!

You forgot to invite those people in the first two rows to the celebration!

I did, but they were
too busy screaming.

That's amazing! Did you carry that stuff around just to get that picture?

No, we rented a locker
for the day.
Except they weren't working
so we had it stored in a room
that we had to ask the CMs
to get our stuff from.
No big deal, just a note.

And Walt was part of it

That's true!

Both my kids and I have
one of those now.

That's what I thought.

Yeah, probably didn't have
to mention that.
It's obvious.

Yes! We love The Plaza, and their AC works really well!

I'm sure she does..people are gross. I don't know how they do it!

I'm thinking there's probably
a pretty high turn-around
with that job.

It was neat!

That looks like a decent view! I'm glad you posted this because next time I bring my mom I think we'll do the seated party. I felt bad for her last time having to stand.

The view was fine.
Like I said, if you want to
get great photos....
it's not the place.
(Or if you want to be closer.)
But... it was sure nice to sit
with a drink and something
to eat while we watched.

Lucky you!

Perfect! Nice to see your Bus Pass is still working!

I should hope so! harrumph!

 

[dolewhipdreams]

Even though I'm a renowned
attempted-squirrel-murderer.

Your reputation is beginning to precede you.
The squirrels have noticed.

Within seconds, PR and Elle were
chatting away and completely
ignoring the two old dudes
who were paying for everything.

Well done, ladies. They have achieved peak woman-hood.
Convince the men to pay for everything then pretend they don't exist.

I've usually had some fun with
the photo on Splash.
I figured we'd recruit Doc and PR
into the fun.
Since we were celebrating Elle's
graduation, we thought Splash
would be a fun way to show it.

Of course you brought props.

We boarded the back of the
boat and pillaged and plundered
and all in all had a fun ride.

Of course you brought props.
Whoa. Deja vu.

I will say this about the Tiki Birds.
It's definitely air conditioned.

And wow, man it's a show.

I have to take a photo of
my favourite trees.
It's a rule.

Hmm how have I never noticed these trees before? Those are definitely some space looking trees.

It must be done.
If you ride it, a foot photo
is an absolute requirement.

Rule No. 36 of TR Writing

Tragic.
Note to self.
Next time you want to
make out with a fish,
leave the kid at home.

I thought a professional like you would have that figured out by now.

Must admit I felt badly for her.
I'm thinking she probably has
to put up with some pretty
rude behaviour from ill-mannered
guests on a regular basis.

Little did you know that Ariel quit the photo business the very next day.

I asked if we could sit at a closer
table and he brought us to one
of the ones we'd picked earlier.
Yusss! Unobstructed view!

How much did you bribe him with?

HEA is fine, but it doesn't
get you in the feels like
Wishes used to do.

Oh I get really in the feels with HEA. I cry almost every time, usually when How Far I'll Go starts playing and all the children start singing along.

Never fear!
I came prepared.
As we floated our way through
the land of zombie dolls,
I was quite content with
Aerosmith and ACDC blaring
in my ears, drowning out the
horrid ear-worm that one
normally hears in IASW.
As the zombies nodded their
heads in a good heavy metal
head banging frenzy I saluted
them and their enthusiasm.

OKAY I need to try this. Alternative sound track to iasw. Genius.

 

[SimplyGoofy]

Ladies and gentlemen and Mark.
Believe me when I say that
Disney is the last place you
want to squash a rodent.

They have friends in high places.

Oh, no! That would've been a disaster (for multiple reasons!). I'm glad the crisis was averted and Mickey and Minnie will allow you to come back to the parks with that annual pass!

Within seconds, PR and Elle were
chatting away and completely
ignoring the two old dudes
who were paying for everything.

And that's okay.
That's the way it's always been.

I'm glad they hit it off! (And don't feel too bad - Elle was a pretty great traveling companion the rest of the trip! Plus, it made it easier for you and Doc to catch up!)

If it's not particularly clear,
I'm handing Elle her diploma
(she's wearing her Disney
graduation mouse ears)
while Doc and PR applaud
her accomplishment.

What a great Photopass picture! Well done!

We boarded the back of the
boat and pillaged and plundered
and all in all had a fun ride.

Okay, I was wrong. THIS is the best ride photo. You guys went all out!

I'm quite amused at several of the guests in your boat. In the closer photo, the people in the front look SO bored and unimpressed while the women behind them appear to be concerned about their surroundings. You wonder how many people know that the camera exists!

I will say this about the Tiki Birds.
It's definitely air conditioned.

That is the high point of the Tiki Birds! I'm not a big Tiki Birds fan either, but I don't mind seeing it occasionally.

Maybe she’ll forget?

Unlikely!

Donald messed things up again.
You'd think by now he'd figure
out how to use that hat.

Even so, I do love Philharmagic!

It must be done.
If you ride it, a foot photo
is an absolute requirement.

Very true. It's practically a law!

The duck had just laid some eggs!

Wow! I hope no one bothered them and the ducklings were okay!

HEA is fine, but it doesn't
get you in the feels like
Wishes used to do.

It won't be the same to watch something other than Wishes! I haven't been to Disney World in so long that I've yet to see HEA. I look forward to a new experience, but I will REALLY miss Wishes! I LOVED Wishes!

I don't want to bore you with
photos of fireworks that you've
already seen 1,000 times,
but I will post a couple if you've
ever thought about doing the
(seated) dessert party and
want to know what the
vantage point looks like.

You took great fireworks photos! Mine never tend to turn out as well.

Nevertheless, I did enjoy the
novelty (and stress-free) of not
having to line up ahead of time
and being able to sit during the
entire performance.

I really enjoy that aspect of the dessert party as well. I've done the seated dessert party three times (it was the only option at the time), but I think it would still be my top choice with all the options available. It's wonderful to sit and watch the fireworks, even if they're a bit off-kilter!

IASW

And this time, shockingly,
it was a walk on.

I thought so!

I'm sorry that you had to suffer through IASW, but I'm glad that Elle got to ride a Disney classic!

 

[vamassey1]

But... I don't know if this is just
because I associate him that way
or if it was so, but...
I seem to think he was wearing one.

I kind of think he would for such an important event. He wore a vest for the actual events.

I'm not sure if movies are released in Canada the same time they are here, but "Art of Racing in the Rain" started on Friday. I went yesterday with a group from book club and work. It was good and pretty faithful to the book.

 

[pucknasty]

I know now where it is...
Where were you the last
two times I tried to find it????

I was honestly probably drinking Landshark at that exact Cheeseburger in Paradise


Your Ariel pics always make me giggle. Congrats to Elle! I have two semesters left then maybe I'll talk my dad into taking me on a graduation trip!

 

[pkondz]

Must be a huge nut stash up there.

I BEG YOUR PARDON????

Bad girl, bad girl, what cha gonna do...

Not at all...just Canadian politeness....repeatedly asking if we shall do something.
I said YES already. Sheesh!

I know...
But it did bug me that
I missed that. Fixed.

Huh?

When?

<Makes note to self...remember camo outfit next trip to Disney>

<and then stands in front of a blank wall>

I knew you had...and I appreciate it....that's why I was letting you know it was okay.

Thanks.

Sorry...shouldn't have put that part...wasn't looking for sympathy, but rather trying to make the point sucking at pool one night would not make me cry. Everyone can (and I do often) have an off night and that night I most definitely was.

No.
You do not apologize for that!
I know darned well you weren't
looking for sympathy.
And it wouldn't matter one iota
if you were.
Your a friend.
I look after my friends.
(As much as I can from a distance.)

Quit talking about the top of my head!!!

??

Okay, fine...I'll confess.

It was actually Ariel who gave me the golden dinglehopper and it was payment to try to keep you away. She's probably mad at me now. I'm not too worried, since it weighed about 10 ounces and the price of gold now, I now have enough for an AP renewal, so good trade off.

I'd take that deal (steal) too!

Mine is watching people from up north sweat when they come to Disney. Quite amusing.

What a coincidence!
Mine is watching people from
down south shiver with cold
when it drops anywhere below 80.

Sorry...not background, my lock screen. My background is just solid blue. The WEDway feet picture is mostly blue anyway, so it probably could work as a background.

Still funny.

If I'd thought to take them from the same spot, yes. Time lapse, gif...essentially same concept.

It was hot, yes, but not as bad as the last few days. Heat index yesterday was 110.

How do you get around
when both your shoes
and the concrete are
all melting?

Not buying it.

She ain't for sale.

See, for me the projections aren't even that cool...there are so many nooks and crannys on the castle, the projections are difficult to follow (for me). The projections for the SW fireworks show are much better since it's a mostly flat surface.

I like the projections well enough...
I was very impressed the first time
I saw them, but...

Can't they do it like they did before?
First the projection show and then
the fireworks???

I has a way with them thar things....ummm.....yeah, words.

 

[pkondz]

Awesome! How great that they could enjoy their meet while you did!

Was (only a little) worried
that they might not get
along or just sit in silence.

Congrats on becoming a chunky!!

[

This is awesome! Your Splash photos tend to be excellent anyway, but I particularly like this one. Congrats to Elle!

Thanks, Meghan!

Whoops!! I'm sure this is a common occurrence. I've nearly lost a hat or two, myself.

I was pretty sure I'd lose it.
I just hoped it would've been
after the camera fired!

This is super.

Thanks!

Haha it seems that you and I have the same feeling about the Tiki Birds. Or, that is, lack of feeling.

I don't know if I've ever noticed these trees! Thanks for sharing!

Love those.

Nice shoes

I have very dainty feet.

Oh no! She must have been traumatized! You didn't think this one through very well.

Suck it up princess!
Er… I mean Elle in this case.

I'm sure this is true. Very unfortunate.

Yeah... I try really hard to
be as nice as I can to her
(or any other face character
I might happen to interact with.)

Fantastic! Some nice fireworks photos you shared, despite the angle. Sounds like it was an enjoyable way to watch the show. I agree with your HEA vs Wishes assessment.

It was a very nice way to see it.
Pricey, as @Steppesister pointed out...
But I'm really glad we did it.
Would I do it every time?
No.
But glad I did.

Oh wow! How neat to witness! I'm sure it can be tricky to find a safe spot to hide one's eggs in a park as busy as Magic Kingdom.

It was just about the last
thing I expected to see!

 

[pkondz]

Couldn't be!

 

[Terra Nova guy]

Now I'm not going to try
and pretend I understand
all the latest teen slang.
I typically learn them around
the same time that they
go out of fashion.

Sounds like me. Funny story. I found out this past weekend the real meaning of “Netflix and chill”. Oops.

Within seconds, PR and Elle were
chatting away and completely
ignoring the two old dudes
who were paying for everything.

Nice that they hit it off. I am quite familiar with paying for everything but being ignored.

it's not particularly clear,
I'm handing Elle her diploma
(she's wearing her Disney
graduation mouse ears)
while Doc and PR applaud
her accomplishment.

Nicely done!
If I ever go on Splash again I will have to do something to commemorate the occasion.

When we got off the ride,
we hung around the POTC
exit for a bit until
we saw some young kids
with their parents.
We gave the kids our pirate booty.

I tip my pirate hat to you sir. I’m sure the kids appreciated it. Better than having it sit in your suitcase.

I will say this about the Tiki Birds.
It's definitely air conditioned.

Although last trip was the first time I’ve seen it in ages, I didn’t mind it. Not a “must do”, but a good break from the heat.

It must be done.
If you ride it, a foot photo
is an absolute requirement.

I’m still disappointed that I forgot to take this picture of myself last year.

The duck had just laid some eggs!

That’s awesome!

I think if my goal was complete
immersion and/or photography,
I'd be in the hub.
But if comfort (and desserts!)
is the goal than I'd recommend
the dessert party.

I would like to try a dessert party one day. It definitely seems like a relaxing way to see the fireworks.

 

[Tracy161]

Time to leave the land
of fantasy and mosey on
over to the land of the
wild frontier.

Mosey? How does that stack up to sashay? A little slower?

Now I'm not going to try
and pretend I understand
all the latest teen slang.
I typically learn them around
the same time that they
go out of fashion.

But "step on a squirrel"
was a new one for me.

And if you look a little closer,
you'll note that I wore some
headgear myself.
It says, "Proud Parent".
And you can juuuust make
it out at is flies off my head.

I did note that it appeared as though it was flying off your head! Ooops

It must be done.
If you ride it, a foot photo
is an absolute requirement.


That's me on the left.

Yes, a requirement, indeed! But you on the left?

And one of my favourite
photo ops of the castle...

Mine, too! In fact, I posted almost that exact shot on Instagram just a day or so ago. Wise minds and all...

Not the worst view in the world
to dine to, don't you think?

I can certainly think of worse views.

The duck had just laid some eggs!

What?! How cool!!!

The show was fun to watch,
as always, but I still feel a little
nostalgic for Wishes.
HEA is fine, but it doesn't
get you in the feels like
Wishes used to do.

You and me both, my friend, you and me both.

Your reputation is beginning to precede you.
The squirrels have noticed.

They know I'm nuts.

Well done, ladies. They have achieved peak woman-hood.
Convince the men to pay for everything then pretend they don't exist.

You ain't fooling me!
I'm old enough to have figured
that out loooong ago.

Except... I'm still paying...
hmmm...

Wait....


um.....

Of course you brought props.

But of course!
It has to be done.
You mean... you don't?

Of course you brought props.
Whoa. Deja vu.

But of course!
It has to be done.
You mean... you don't?

uh...

And wow, man it's a show.

It is? Who stays awake
long enough to find out?

Hmm how have I never noticed these trees before? Those are definitely some space looking trees.

You're not the only one.
And here I thought
everyone knew about them!

Rule No. 36 of TR Writing

I thought a professional like you would have that figured out by now.

Your mistake was not realizing
that I'm a professional nincompoop.

Little did you know that Ariel quit the photo business the very next day.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

"Yay! Got my dream job!
I'm a princess!!!!"

<10 minutes later>

"What have I done???"

How much did you bribe him with?

TR fame.
Gets 'em every time.

Oh I get really in the feels with HEA. I cry almost every time, usually when How Far I'll Go starts playing and all the children start singing along.

Awwww...

OKAY I need to try this. Alternative sound track to iasw. Genius.

It not only helps...
It makes it great.

Those dolls... rock!
