Trip Report: Flynn Rider Sits Next to Me 😍

If you missed the previous update you can check it out here.

After the pastries, you get fruit cups. The fruit was delicious and fresh. There was pineapple a.k.a. the worst fruit ever. Then, we got our entrees. I got the tangled eggs and so did dad. Denise got the tower of pancakes.



 
The eggs came with a marinara-style sauce which was very flavorful. The eggs on their own were a little bland, but a bit of salt and some sauce helped. I actually would've liked more sauce. It was a lot of food and I wasn't able to finish everything.

They introduced Eric and then Ariel a few minutes later. Eric must have been with a guest because when Ariel came out Flynn met her by our table. He said her husband was busy.

Then, there was a parade with the kids while they played under the sea.

At this time, Flynn sat next to me in the booth and I almost lost it. It was like I was in high school and my long time crush finally noticed me.


 
He told me he wasn't allowed to participate in the parade. Apparently he had flapped napkins around and acted like Scuttle which isn't "appropriate behavior". But at least he didn't bring ruffians. After chatting we took some pictures.

Next, Rapunzel visited and she was perfect. She was excited about my ears and kept talking about them. She told me she's been trying to use her frying pan as a paint palette because it's convenient and less violent. But sometimes it can help get your point across.

She was so sweet and energetic. I saw her interactions with other guests and they were great. She was playing with the little kids.

I even saw her run up behind Flynn, tap him on the shoulder, and quickly jump on his back. He totally just went with it like she does that all the time-Rapunzel would. That's a real couple.


Eric was good but a little bland. Ariel was cute. She said she liked my ears and the sea flowers on them. She told me it was good to pick sea flowers with Sebastian because he can just clip them with his claws. 





This was a great meal with fantastic interactions. The experience was a good deal and I would absolutely do this again.

Trip Report: Bon Voyage!

If you missed the last post you can read it here.

It's day 2! I woke up just before 7 and got around kind of slowly. I also had to blow dry my shoes because they were still a little wet.

I left the room for the bus at 8.


We had reservations for breakfast at Trattoria al Forno at 9. My parents were taking the Minnie Van from the Contemporary. My plan was to take a bus to Hollywood Studios which had Extra Magic Hours. Then, I would walk to the Boardwalk. I've always wanted to do that walk.

The sign at the bus stop first said the next Studios bus would be there at 8:35. Then it said 8:09. It was hoping the second one was more right. It got there at 8:10.

I got to the Studios around 8:30. It was a little hard to find the start of the walkway. It would probably be easier without the construction walls.


The walk took me about 15 minutes to get all the way to the restaurant. 

It was a pretty nice walk, but I did get a little sweaty. Probably not something I'd want to do in the summer. There were a decent amount of people on it-including some rumors. And a lady complimented my Rapunzel ears.




After checking in, we were seated quickly. The restaurant connects to the Abracadabar so we were able to take a peak in there. Our table was in an extra dark part of an already dark restaurant. This made picture and video taking a little hard.



We got a little card with the characters' autographs on it. But it looked like they were still signing autograph books when asked. Their interactions were great.



They'll regularly announce each of the four characters-maybe every 15-20 minutes. While we waited for our waitress, Flynn was announced. he was quite dashing.

We ordered our entrees and drinks. You get orange juice (with refills) with your meal if you want.

Then, we got our pastries in the frying pan. And it's a real cast iron frying pan-I checked. It was actually a lot of pastries. There were three of us and we weren't able to finish them.


 

They announced my home-girl Rapunzel. It was adorable because Flynn came over to meet her and dip her. Then they danced together and were gazing into each others' eyes. It was very sweet and I'm glad to see them. Even now, looking back on it, it makes me smile.
