Main Street, U.S.A

Here ye, here ye. Or in todays rap music: Ay bay bay. Regardless, remember me? I had an awesome giveaway live on the blog last week and here I am, a week later, well rested (actually scratch that, I need a mental health day from life), and stressed with the amount of shenanigans I have to put up with in the next 12+ hours. My post is going to be NOWHERE as awesome as Erin's, but I'll try I promise. So while everyone on the east coast was dealing with freezing weather, I was soaking up the sun with Minnie and my homie, Belle.

Unfortunately Mr. Camera decided to either play a solid game of hide and seek (come out already..), or else a angry ogre stole my camera. Good luck with that one considerings it's endless Disney pictures AND MY FACE.

The best:
Park: Hollywood Studios (We went on Monday according to our App)
Show: Beauty and the Beast, clearly / Laugh Room / The Great Movie Ride
Food: The Mickey Ice Cream Sandwiches
Meal in general: Wolfgang Puck (@ Downtown Disney)
Temperature: 86* (why don't I live in Florida?)
Fastpass: Helped beat the crowds A CRAP TON. If you stay at any main Disney Resort, you get to have access to FastPass up to weeks before your arrival!


The worst:
Park with crowds: Magic Kingdom, of course.
Park in general (personal opinion): Animal Kingdom (Never liked it as a kid)
Ride/Attraction: A Bugs Life. As a kid, I went to that show and felt things at my toes and a pinch in my back. I also hateeee insects so this show has never done it for me. I left screaming, just like I did when I was 5.
Food: @ Hotel (we stayed off Disney Property)
Airline: SOUTHWEST. Despite free bags which is great because I pack too much for even a day away from my closet. But the fact you have to standby and check in to reserve your number. Like excuse me let me leave my important meeting because it's 24 hours before my flight and I need to make sure I get a seat. Also my staff was rude. So BYEBYE. Clearly, I left pissed and never wanting to fly them again - but let's be real I probably will.


Misc/Advice:
-Although it may be cheaper to stay off property, you might not want to. We lost a ton of time at the parks because our hotel's bus schedule was the opposite of convienient. I promise you staying on site is much better.

-Every year I go to Universal, not Disney because the fast pass system (If you stay at their hotels you get fast pass for EVERY ride). Disney finally got this system going, but it's frustrating to have to wait in the long line then plan your day out because of the wait times. I was only there for a long weekend so I had a day at each park....didn't get to ride the best stuff (i.e Toy Story Mania) because of wait times!!!!)

-I didn't get the Disney Experience App, however I did get the Disney WaitTimes App. Still not sure how accurate it truly was but it had a 'crowd forecast' to tell us which days to avoid what park and I'm pretty sure it helped me out in the end!

-GET CREPES IN PARIS. GET MANY. And send them to me via mail. Or just come over.

  2. Oooh this looks so warm! Magic Kingdom is the worst for crowds, and there are always crying children everywhere which makes me yell 'you're in disney world small children!', but then people look at me strangely. And I hate southwest as well, lost my luggage twice in a row, awful.

  4. Love Disney. It rocks!!!! I went when I was younger and would love to go back one day so that I can remember things. And go to some where else other than Magic Kingdom. I would love to go to Animal Kingdom.
