Desserts were up next, and maybe the server felt like she needed to redeem herself, as she brought out both the cobbler, and the kids cone cupcakes!
Thank goodness because I was going to ask for them as well, bahaha! I PROMISE YOU, I was not the needy guest tonight, it may sound like it, but Ive been serving for 6 years, I know the drill! Jenna really enjoyed the cobbler, while Victoria & I were ALL about the cupcake cones! Seriously though, those things were AMAZING!!! Theres just something about Disney cupcakes that makes them amazing.
We had to wait a little bit for the bills (are you surprised at this point?) and we discovered that they werent offering the cast member discount because the restaurant wasnt rotating that night. Bonus of waiting, Chip came by AGAIN! Seriously love those boys. He leaned over on the ledge behind me and kinda just played with my hair for a little bit, bahaha, and we took a selfie.
FINALLY, we headed out of the Garden Grille. My thoughts on it: well, I would DEFINITELY go again, yes, the service was just horrible, and everything took a LONG time to come out, but the experience and food overall were absolutely amazing. I know we definitely could have had a rotten time if the characters werent as good as they were, but we really enjoyed them, and had fun watching them with everyone else. It was honestly a really fun time, and the food was delicious, we definitely left there with some SERIOUS food babies #sofull.
Jenna & I had missed our last fasp pass (it was SSE, so no ones worried) but it was late enough it was pretty much time for Illuminations, so Victoria walked with us up until Canada, where she left to head over to Hollywood Studios for Fantasmic (she had some high school friends over there!). Jenna & I found a spot against the railing in Canada for the show, which was fitting.
We both enjoyed the show, Jenna a heck of a lot more than I did. I dont know why, but Illuminations just doesnt do it for me .it leaves me wanting more! Its lovely and all, and sometimes thinking about it when I have the music playing makes me emotional, but thats about it. I mean, Wishes has like, 5 parts in it that TEAR MY HEART APART (Ariels I wish I could be part of that world Peters off to Neverland, the hu-ho, its the blue fairy and the finale) and Fantasmic is just a glass cage of emotion during the Finale, and Illuminations is lucky if it leaves me with a smile on my face bahaha!!! #sorrynotsorry
Once out to the bus stops, we noticed the line was MUCH shorter for AoA, and the bus was there right then, so we hopped on over there to trek across the big blue world before getting back over to Pop. As we were headed back towards the path, we saw just the CUTEST little family ever in front of us. They had two little blonde girls, one of them wearing a blue dress, and one wearing a yellow dress, the blue dressed one was older, and the yellow dressed one was FAR derpier .so clearly we had found ourselves in kid form & it was just adorable!
We got back to Pop, and Jenna decided she was wiped, and was going straight to bed, I however, had plans! I had a meet up with a tumblr friend, Amber! She had done her college program in entertainment (fur) recently, and wed been following each other for a while over the course of the year and eventually became facebook friends! She has been trying and trying to get BACK into the Disney entertainment family, but it is proving to be very difficult! Shed just moved back down to Florida on her own and accepted a job as photopass while continueing to try to get back into entertainment.
Amber & her roommate Katy were meeting me down at the 90s pool for a quick hangout, wed talked of drinks or swimming but by the time we all got there it was just too late lol. It was absolutely fantastic to get to meet them both, Ambers such a fantastic, warm, kind hearted girl I was so happy I FINALLY got to meet her. We shared stories of Disney, a lot about when she was working for the mouse (like one time she was hanging with the Munks and went and got a churro .or the time a munk threw a bun across GG .bahaha!). Shes been fit for face multiple times recently, but the need is just not high enough for that character right now, which is super sad, because shes LEGITIMATELY PERFECT.
We had a really good time, and I was super glad I got the chance to hang out with them for a bit. Katy works over at Universal, and she was super amazing & nice as wlel, and added me on facebook later that night too! As it turns out, Amber has recently moved back home, but is headed back to school involving dentistry!
I said good bye, there were hugs all around, and I headed up to the room where I as quietly as possible got into bed, as we had a big day ahead of us!
