COMPLETE: The Princesses & The Dog;Our Tail-Wagging Magical Adventure! A November 2017 TR*WITH VLOGS

Yay for having enough time for one last full day!

Lol the minute I saw those shoe pics I was like "That design is on a wall, did she...?" And you did. I'm most definitely, in that scenario, the Marilyn of my friend group based on that.

Awww, I always love seeing the weddings around the BoardWalk. They are so gorgeous and everyone's so happy. You honestly should've taken pics or at least snagged Rachel's for the TR. Having a wedding in a public place... the families involved probably expected a little paparazzi.

Can't wait to read about your Bon Voyage breakfast!

Hahaha I'll have to tell Marilyn, she'll think that's hilarious.

Lol I really should have just taken creeper pictures, it's not like I haven't in Disney before

Not sure how I have missed your TR for so long ! But , luckily,found it. Flynn is adorable

We also poked around the gift shop for a little ornament gift for my mom (who loves to collect ornaments). I found two packages that I really liked but I was afraid that my luggage was so full that they would get smashed!

Well now you just need to bring a bigger suitcase on your next trip and get them then!

It seemed that Flynn was a little partied out from all of his Disney touring! But we told him NO SLEEPING IN DISNEY and got the show on the road

You tell him!

I'm pretty sure this is Rachel taking photos of the wedding though

Well, she has a cute dog-she's allowed a pass on taking creeper photos (I'm sure there were many many creeper photos of Flynn taken!)

Yes- I def need a bigger suitcase next time!

Haha Flynn was a Disney noob & he needed to be taught

Oh yes, I'm sure there were many creeper pictures taken of Flynn throughout the trip lol!

DISNEY PRINCES + DOGS = ADORABLE

Once we were settled into our seats (that were near the door) at the restaurant, our server brought out our pastries and took our drink order. I didn't catch her name but we had the sweetest waitress, she was so talkative and interested in us!

When she set the pastries down in front of us, we all freaked out because THEY WERE IN A FRYING PAN.

We tried to pace ourselves since we knew this was only the beginning but we each tried a bit of everything.

The Tangled sun was more like a cooke vs. a pastry, if I'm remembering correctly I think it tasted like something similar to those cookies that come in a tin that everyone's grandma has . Flynn was a good boy and practiced his "leave-it" while Rachel got a picture. Sadly (for him) he did't get to try any of the yummy food

I loved the adorable little clam shell to match the Little Mermaid theme. I want to say that these were filled with a fruit filling but I'm not 100% sure. Either way, I remember I liked it!

There were also two muffins: blueberry and sprinkles, and some chocolate-croissant-like pastries. The croissant was good but I think I liked the clam shells better. I'm not sure if I ate the muffins or not since those looked like something you could find anywhere, lol!

When you sit down at the table, the server immediately pours you orange juice and and brings you fruit cups (with Prince Eric's sword) and then asks if you want anything else, I think I just stuck with water and OJ.

See, this is my beef with Disney character meals: they upcharge you like $50 + tip because they give you all of this unnecessary food and drinks that I can't consume and so it all goes to waste and I feel ripped off. I mean, don't get me wrong I would go again for the character experience but I always just get annoyed when I have all of this food thrown at me that I can't enjoy because there's way too much!

Anyway, I went for the King Triton's Shipwreck al Forno, which sounded like a breakfast calzone. Our food came out surprisingly quickly for how busy the restaurant seemed. We did not have any characters come by our table while we waited though.

My dish came with King Triton's scepter which the server offered to leave in so I could take a picture before having to remove it (I thought that was very thoughtful!). This was really, REALLY good. Sadly I wasn't even able to eat 1/2 of the 1/2 calzone. It was just way too much food and I did not have a way to refrigerate it so I couldn't take it to-go.

Momma Hart got the Tower of Pancakes! It came with fruit compote to put on top of the pancakes that was some kind of baked apple cobbler-thing that looked delightful! She also enjoyed her meal.

Marilyn got the Golden Frittata or the Tangled Eggs, it also came with crispy breakfast potatoes (not pictured). the picture doesn't do it justice, this thing was like bigger than my face . I think she liked it, but she wasn't feeling the greatest so I'm pretty sure she just ate a few bites before she was done.

Finally, Rachel got the Royale Breakfast which looked very fancy. If I remember correctly, she was the least excited about her food out of all of us I think she wished she had got something a little more breakfast-y.

I think some point during all of us eating our food, Flynn and Rapunzel walked into the restaurant. They were blasting I Have a Dream over the speakers and so I was just absentmindedly singing/clapping along and all of a sudden I sensed someone beside me and I look up and I see Flynn and Rapunzel looking down at me. It kinda startled me and I was like "oh, hello!" and Flynn said "Do you have a dream?". I was still trying to get over the shock of them materializing before me so I was awkwardly stumbling over my words not sure what to say- it was bad people. Finally I got out something to the sense of: "Uhhhh... to stay here forever and not leave?". Both of them just kinda looked at me and then Flynn said "Well, that's a pretty good dream". Thankfully what saved me was Flynn Ryder's attention was then drawn to Flynn the Dog and he went around to the other side of the table

I think I underestimated what an adorable combination Disney princes and dogs was going to be...

Let's just say Flynn Ryder was very excited! So excited in fact that he even showed us what was in his satchel

We had to pull him away from the dog so we could get pictures with him too lol!

Then Rapunzel came over to see what all the commotion was about, she was very excited to meet Flynn too!

Ariel and Eric M&G pictures coming soon! Trust me you guys, you'll wanna see this

Everything looks so good at Trattoria! And after seeing so many photos of the breakfast, I didn't realize the dessert platter comes in a frying pan, that's AMAZING!!! I totally get the whole thing of getting too much at character meals tho or just Disney meals in general. They do overload you. The food is good, but it can be too much.

Lol @ getting thrown off by Flynn & Rapunzel. Totally would be me if they just appeared behind me. Probably would've fallen out of my chair ngl It's so cute how quickly Flynn went over to see his canine counterpart. Princes and dogs... that would be the death of me. All your photos are so cute, looks like you were having a blast. Can't wait to hear about what happened with Ariel and Eric!

 

[Ears to Disney]

YAY! Another Disney trip! What a great day at Animal Kingdom. Everest is one of our absolute favorites! So glad what Marilyn got to get her Duffy stamped for all the countries! Aww...Flynn meeting Flynn! So cute! All the breakfast items looked delicious, definitely have to get to the Bon Voyage breakfast!

 

[the2ndstar2theright]

I seriously cannot handle the cuteness that is the picture of Flynn and Flynn. All that food looks sooo good, but I know exactly what you mean about never being able to eat it all!! Can't wait to hear about the rest of your breakfast!

Yes exactly, the food is amazing but too much
haahaha I'm surprised I didn't fall out of my chair either

Oh yes, Everest is amazing! The food was AMAZING, still sad that I didn't get to eat all of it though

Me too, it was a cuteness overload! And YES, I'm glad you feel me about the food- it's a struggle

I'M GETTING MARRIED (and it's a beach wedding)
Ok, so while Flynn and Rapunzel had been interacting with guests on our side of the restaurant, Ariel and Eric had made a big entrance with a fanfare and then they headed to the back of the restaurant but I got a glimpse of Prince Eric (who is my 2nd fave prince) and OH MAN, I could tell he was cuteeee. So of course, his arrival to our table was much anticipated. Actually, Rachel took a short video clip of Eric walking in the return and you can see my face in and I'm so shook haha. However, Ariel got to us first! She was so sweet and bubbly!

It was a quick interaction though because we saw Eric coming and we were like "BYE FELICIA (Ariel)."

Eric was immediately excited to see Flynn there and was petting on him and he told us that he would have loved to bring Max with him to the restaurant this morning but he knew Max would be going all over the place and eating people's food and he would have had to chase him down a lot. It was basically the cutest thing I've ever heard
and then Eric posed with Flynn and it was THE CUTEST PICTURE I'VE EVER SEEN

Also can I say, Eric has some GREAT eyebrows

Yeah so as you can imagine I was in love with Eric. We will have a beach wedding (obviously)

Okay, basically we had the best character interactions EVER! All four of the characters were so genuine and didn't feel rushed at all. After Eric left, Flynn and Rapunzel came back over because he wanted to show her Flynn (the dog)'s bandana that is tangled themed.

10/10 for Trattoria!

I was actually sad to leave the restaurant- what a great way to quick off our last Disney day, right?

Here's a collection of all of our Polaroids we took with the characters

We went back out on the boardwalk to take some scenic pictures.

Look at this little puppy model!

And this not-so-furry model

And then we had a full on photoshoot!

Before heading to Disney Springs for the rest of our day, we looked at some of the Christmas trees that were sprinkled through the Boardwalk!

Whoa. Eric. Wow. Brows. Beauty. Marry meeeeeeeeeee. And honestly, this is going to sound mega mega weird but that photo of him with Flynn needs to be my lockscreen. Remind me of the expectations I have to keep for my future husband, y'know. *insert blushing emoji here*

What a great note to start your last day on! Y'all look so so happy in all those photos and I'm just crying from the cuteness that is Flynn posing in all his photos. Such a model. *insert heart eye emoji*

My Favorite Unexpected Attraction!
Ahhh, it is getting to the part of the TR that I always hate: the part where there are just a *few* more posts left sad, I know. HOWEVER, I do have my next trip in just about 3 weeks to look forward to. Obviously I'll be right back here as soon as I get back home so I really won't have to be without a trip for toon long!

I can't remember if I had said in my last post but we left the Boardwalk and bussed on over to Disney Springs. We wanted to spend the duration of our trip exploring the new DS since so much has changed there since we've been there and we couldn't wait to show Marilyn around. We had also heard about the Christmas themed scavenger hunt that they had for guests to do and we definitely wanted to do that! On our way to guest services to get our scavenger hunt booklets, we found a massive christmas tree

As you can tell, it was an absolutely beautiful day and we were so sad we had to return to the freezing cold in just a few hours.
It took a few minutes to actually locate where we could find the CM's with the actual books but alas, we found them!

The book had clues for where we could find each little picture that was hidden in different shops. There was also stickers that matched the pictures that we found in the stores- that way at the end of the hunt, the CM's could be sure you did it right. I'm not sure if that made any sense but log story short; it was just a scavenger hunt.

To be completely honest, I was pretty surprised how hard it was to find the little hidden icons. Since I assumed this was for kids I thought it would be simple but we actually had to get a lot of help from CM's to help us find what we were looking for. This was like a 1-2 hour ordeal, we had to go to every corner of DS. I don't have any pictures of the icons but we ended our scavenger hunt in the Avengers store and were awarded a cute little Stitch button that looks just like the one on the from of the book.

While running all around Disney Springs, we made a pit stop in Ghirardelli (obviously). I was super excited that they were giving our peppermint bark which is my fave!

We also stopped in Amorette's Patisserie because it was one of the scavenger hunt and I was SO impressed with the beautiful bakery creations they had!

We found yet another Christmas tree, they were all so beautiful

Of course we took a very long pitstop in World of Disney where we all did a little damage
I actually don't think we got too much in there but I was loving all of the new merchandise Disney had been rolling out. I decided to get a cute Star Wars hat that says "Jedi In Training" and the back of the hat says "the force is strong with this one"

Part of the Stitch scavenger hunt went through the Christmas Tree trail which was one of the coolest unexpected things I experienced on the whole trip!

As we were walking through looking at all of the themes trees, it just started snowing! HOW MAGICAL

So glad someone else besides me actually likes the Christmas Tree trail! It first debuted during my CP (almost two years ago now) and everyone I talked thought it was so tacky but I loved it. The trees are just so so cute. And you had such perfect lighting to get photos in there. I'm surprised you didn't run into characters since I heard they added them this past year. Oh well, still a truly unexpectedly fun attraction.

Oh my gosh, I have no idea how I've never heard about this tree trail if it's been around a couple years but yes I loved it! Also i love that you also appreciate the great lighting in there. I'm salty I didn't meet characters, that would've been icing on the cake.

 

[disneyshakeygirl]

Now I want to go to WDW at Xmas and do the trail!

Gorgeous photos.
