As I was reading Disney Vacation Part 1 I noticed some errors and fixed them. Just letting you know....I know how to spell lol I also noticed I would go off ranting and not really going in chronological order so please bare with me. i get so excited talking about disney that I jump from place to place.
When we arrived at disney world we had only 3 days to enjoy Food and Wine because the last day was Monday and we landed on saturday. We planned to visit Epcot the days they were open and hope over to magic kingdom at night. My favorite dessert was the frozen smores. OMG, those were amazing. I had about 3. I wasn't too impressed with france. We literally gave our escargot away. I think i expected to much out of the booths. Don't get me wrong, it was good...just not THAT good. Of course everybody has their opinions so please don't get offended if you've been to the event.
On Monday we went to Hollywood Studios because we knew that epcot would be super packed that day. Hollywood studios is my second favorite theme park. Tower of terror was awesome! A little bit different from California Adventure. It was much more suspenseful and I felt like I was going to have a heart attack lol We got some shirts from the shop outside and wore them the whole day. I really enjoyed the art of animation. My boyfriend wasn't very good at it so he didn't want to repeat it too many times. Its a hidden gem though. Apparently not too many people know about it but it is a great experience =D
We really wanted to eat at the restaurants there but they were all booked up! we could not get a seat so make sure you reserve way in advance. We didn't let that stop us from enjoying the park though. We had an absolute blast. Their raspberry lemonade and chocolate croissant were my favorite snacks there. We went on the aerosmith roller coaster but it wasn't our cup of tea. We enjoyed it but out of our whole trip we only went on it once. We went to fantasmic and I was looking forward to it because it is my favorite show at disneyland. The experience again was different. At hollywood studios they have a place to do it while in disneyland they have to block part of the park so people can sit on the ground. It was really windy that night and of course we sat up front. We got absolutely soaked and people started to leave. It was the first time for my boyfriend and I was so sad that he didn't have a great experience. Since the projections are against the water and the wind was blowing like crazy everything looked distorted. I was surprised they didn't cancel the show. I was hoping we could see it again but we weren't going back until thursday morning and leaving in the afternoon for our mickeys very merry christmas party. I believe magic kingdom had magic hours that night so we hopped over and ate like fatties. Very first time eating a turkey leg even though I was stuffed. It was just too good.
I remembered over feeding myself because that night I got sick. We planned magic hours at animal kingdom the next morning which is why I remember. Animal kingdom was amazing!! i was told that its unusually hotter there than the other parks but that day there was an overcast and it was coldest day out of the week! we went on the primeval whirl so many times. It's one my favorite memories because there wasn't a line so when we hopped off we went right back on. After that we headed to expedition everest. we had fast passes but we didn't use them until a line started forming. One of my favorite rides at disney world. We then went on the safari ride. Absolutely breathtaking. It was so amazing I would recommend everybody doing it at least once. After that we were hungry! Stuffed our faces again and watched the Lion King while our food was settling down. We got a fast pass for that since we weren't using our Kali River tickets. It was just too cold the get wet. I was pretty bummed about that since that was the only day we were at animal kingdom. We headed to magic kingdom after that. Went on splash mountain a bunch of times. It's Trey's favorite ride at that park. I like space mountain but there was something different about it magic kingdom. I believe we had reservations at beasts castle that day. You have to try it out! The decor is beautiful. =D
off to sleep. Ill add more when i get a chance. See Ya Real Soon

Disney Merch
I recently discovered that Hot Topic sells Disney Merchandise. If you're like ...Allison, you must live under a rock. I live in the country =p takes me an hour and a half to get to a mall. Ever since this discovery I am more than happy to drive that in order to buy stuff!
When I go to a store I don't know how we get to the topic of disney buy it always happens. They know they can tell that I am a disney customer. So what do they do? just shove all these merchandise with mickey on it at my face! Of course, I am more than happy to take it but I'm on a budget! First time I went to the store I got some pins and a bow. What always makes me laugh is that when I pay..i have to take out my wallet which is....STITCH..then take out my card..and its a disney debit card lol Thats when they laugh at me and know I am seriously into disney.

(don't have a pic of the bow)
My second trip there I bought a stitch watch and a stitch wallet/phone case
I don't know what came over me but stitch just looks so damn cute! I just wanted stitch stuff.. On my third trip they remembered me and went back on looking for a stitch beanie lol
I was online and started searching for cool merchandise. It wasn't till recently that i became comfortable wearing book/disney stuff. I was always afraid of people judging me but now I'm like whatevers. I am happy. So i got a gryffindor beanie, stitch scarf, belle funk pop to add to my collection, and some hogwarts pants. Everything was buy1 get 1 half off. Not only that...I went to barnes and noble right after and got myself some books! booya!! spluuuurge.
lol
Pimping my gryffindor hat
Oh oh..and btw..there are some disney headphones being sold at kohl's..
Found these hidden behind a bunch of minnie headphones. Bet someone was hiding them but I found it! last of the jack skellington at the store. lol
I am one happy disney addict.
Disney Headphones
With all the blogging i'v been doing ( If you didn't know, i have 3 other blogs) I am constantly listening to music. I don't like using my earphones because my ears feel sore after awhile and my desk is located in the living room. I live with 2 other people and they might not like the same music as I do. I know this because they raise their tv volume trying to drown my music out -_-
I work at a store and they used to have disney headphones but they were all stolen!! i was pretty mad because I really wanted a pair. That was a couple of months ago and then I found them again at kohl's! They had minnie mouse which I tried on and was about to get them but I really wanted mickey mouse which I don't even know if they make but I was pulling all the headphones out the shelves. Way in the back corner I found Jack Skellington!! Jackpot. Someone was probably hiding it because that was the last one. The rest were Tinker Bell, Minnie Mouse, TMNT, and the marvel characters. I was so excited. I just had to let you disney lovers know that these....are available =D
BTW disney vacation part 2 will be up soon.

Disney Overload
As you can tell from my previous posts, there are a lot of things to think about when going to Disney World. Just remember, have fun with it! Do not get stressed out. I planned everything and you know what, when I got there we kind of just went with the flow. I expected it to be packed but the lines were so short that we got things done much faster. We kept park hopping and just went on whatever we loved.
This was around the time they were testing out magic bands and we were lucky enough to have them. The cool part was that we can reserve fast passes months ahead of time. Since the lines were short we were able to use the disney app to change our reservations for rides that had slightly longer waits or just set them ahead of time at another part we would be going to. it saved us a lot of time. I was very surprised by how many rides we went on in such little time. I even wanted to go to the resort early!
We would go to every magic hours offered because that was the best time to hop onto your favorite rides. We went on one rides 5 times in a row that is still one of my favorite memories. I unfortunately only went to Animal Kingdom once. I wish we had gone more often.
We went to Epcot for their magic hours hoping to get a head start on the booths buuuuuuut, only one half of Epcot was open. We literally sat around for while because we rode the rides so many times. We also booked another tour that my boyfriend absolutely loved. He likes learning about futuristic or using technology to make the world a better place. Disney has a Behind the Seeds tour that I found interesting but my boyfriend was enthralled.
So as you can see, we didn't really go with our schedule. As much as you plan you'll probably either get tired, do everything too soon, or a line was too long. Leave some wiggle room =D
Have fun!

My favorite ride picture
We are in the front row. Can you guess what pose we are doing?
Hint- its from a disney movie lol
My Disney World Vacation part 1
If you have been following along then you know that I love love LOVE disney. I used to live 30 minutes away from disneyland, I lived in BURBANK,CA. Yes, the headquarters of the disney company. Why did I move? I don't know, i'm crazy obviously. I was missing disney so much and I have never been to Disney World. My boyfriend and I would talk about it but never set a date. Once we did, it became real. I was on the computer non stop. I would post questions on trip advisor. I would look up disney articles and start following disney pages on Facebook. This was our first vacation so it was a big deal. I wanted it to be perfect. I heard that you need to have at least 2 days in epcot, 2 days at magic kingdom, and 1 day for hollywood studios and animal kingdom. I had also heard magic kingdom is a lot like Disneyland.
We began looking up flights once we set our dates. We chose Pop Century, king bed, preferred room. We wanted to make the most of our time since it is precious. Preferred rooms were closer to the bus and I knew I would want to be at the parks the whole day and trust me by the end of the day you do not want to a lot just to get to your room. The money was worth it. My boyfriend was fascinated by the shower because it had a seat and he HAS to has his shower every night. That seat became our best friend because we could just relax and sit under that stream of hot water.
We also had every day planned out to the T. I knew which park we would be at each day. I made the ride reservations, and also our tours. We chose the aqua sea tour because I love everything about the ocean so having a private lesson and swimming with tropical fish and turtle seemed like an awesome experience and it was! I had a lot of trouble with the scuba gear but once I got the hang of it, it was amazing. For each tour there were 6 people who could participate. We met a couple who were cast members and they gave us Toy Story Mania Fast passes! omg! they made our day. We weren't planning to go to Hollywood Studios soon but we couldn't waste those fast passes. We rearranged our next day and that was the best last minute decision I ever made. While we were at the park we saw Beauty and the Beast which was pretty cool. I thought it would be lame but I found myself singing along. Tower of Terror was a must since my boyfriend just loved it. It's his favorite ride. We went on Toy Story mania 3 times in a row. Our arms were so sore. By the way American Idol show is entertaining. It was lame in a funny way because of the actors that play the judges.
We booked Mickey Very Merry Christmas Party the night before we left as a going out with a bam. So the trip begins.
I could not sleep the night before our flight. I stayed up making sure we had everything we needed. By the time we landed in Orlando I just wanted to go to the parks but we had to wait in the magical express line and then go to our resort THEN to the parks. There was a slight delay at the resort but I don't want to get into it. I was not happy with their service but whatever. I was at DISNEY WORLD.
We then hit Epcot for the Food and Wine Festival. They were going to be there for 3 days while we were there so we didn't have much time to stuff our faces. We made a list of foods that we wanted to try from each cart since we were on a budget of 100 dollars per day for food. Which was more than enough. We would roll over the money if we had some left over. We had so much fun there and it was very romantic on the boat ride during sun set. We were eating our desserts and enjoying the view. It was incredible. After that we hopped on over to Magic Kingdom and went on a couple of rides. Boy was I ready to hit the sack. Luckily, I had 6 more days to make magical memories. We went to the room and got some beauty sleep for the next day. Bright and early, it was going to be Epcot again to eat from the booths we missed.
Come back tomorrow for part 2!!
