BuckeyeFortMama 43 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I just opened the mail and the photopass CD was in it.Pictures are uploading now. I may just throw some bonus ones on the end of this trip report. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 They can't be perfect all the time. Yes they can be and should be perfect. If they can't be perfect, get someone that can.They're getting paid to play a role, play it as it is supposed to be or step aside.I know this and maybe we caught Belle on a bad day. Seriously, it's routinely beat into CMs that having a bad day is not an acceptable excuse for a bad performance when you're on stage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeFortMama 43 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Our Gaston's My favorite firstHis facial expressions were awesome.The best part was he only flashed a new face every time he wanted the photographer to take the picture. He was awesome! I know I said that already but he was. If you see this one ever! GET IN HIS LINE!!!This was the other guy.He was a little brawnier, if that's a word.The Photopass Photographer got the best Belle and Gaston pictures.She enjoyed this more than she wants to admit.She may have called him Gas-stink, but she was enjoying the attention.From one beast to the next. He asked the girls to dance with him.A few more from the "enchanted tales with Belle"They show the "theatre" better than mine do.Although these are nicer pictures than mine, my opinion hasn't softened at all.Jake!!! I listen to Jake all day long. It was fun to meet him.Also fun to have pictures of the little guy actually meeting a character (not on Mama's hip).And another with him not being held. Then Handy Manny.And the LIGHTS!!!!And finally the Fairies.You all know TinkAnd her sister from the Winter Woods, Periwinkle.That is all she wrote. I have no more pictures to share and thus no more trip report. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your right! It should be best foot forward ALWAYS!!! I get annoyed when I feel that I know the character better than they do. And then there are times you get to meet a character that just embodies it. The first Gaston we met on this trip (the one at night) was great. I enjoyed watching him meet other guests. That's how you know you nailed the part in my book (if I can watch a character meet people I don't know). We have yet to meet a Peter Pan that wasn't just perfect!

Family of Bears 98 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Loved ths trip report. The kids looked beautiful for the O Hana photo. Sorry for the ignorant table hoarders... I always remain aware that others are waiting. Nice way to end the trip at Chef Mickey's. I personally liked eating there, more of a nostalgic reason than a quality thing. This upcoming trip, my daughter put the thumbs down and said she didn't want to go there. Last February we were there on Valentine's Day. We observed some unexpected drama. Mickey gave Minnie a present when she came out of the back area, and apparently it was unscripted. Minnie didn't want the gift and you could see she wanted no part of it. Mickey was thrusting it at her and she took it and dropped the package and stormed off, and then managers were everywhere. Apparently there may have been a real backstory with the cast members who were playing Mickey and Minnie. The drama was kinda funny. My 12 year old at one point said " See dad.. Even Mickey and Minnie argue".Is this a true story?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Thanks for sharing the extra pics! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeFortMama 43 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 :bravo:Thanks for sharing this awesome TR!You are too kind. I promise to hone my Trip Reporting Skills and do a better job next time.Great last installment. We have enjoyed Chef Mickey's the few times we've gone. You were in Columbia? Only one hour from us! So close and yet so far. Very fun report! Thanks for taking the time to share your trip with us. (We tend to pack a lot in too!)We'll wave on our way through in March. We only turn twice from Ohio to FL. So we are on autopilot until Columbia.I give this report an A+!You did and excellent job on telling the story!And, you also get an A+ for planning. I don't think many people would realize what an accomplishment it was that you got to do as much as you did and eat at the restaurants you did during one of the busiest times of the year. And, I think this year was especially busy.Well done!TCDNo constructive criticism from the master?Planning the itineries I have to say is all BuckeyeFortFan. My planning is making sure the 5 of us stay on schedule, but he does the ADR's and crowd levels and runs for FP's most of the time. Don't get me wrong I've learned a lot and I help him sometimes talk through the "if we do this, this, and this then we should probably feel like doing this or eating here's" but he is the one who taught me.Loved the entire report!!! I was exhausted after reading though!!!!I hope to exhaust you more in the future, then!Loved ths trip report. The kids looked beautiful for the O Hana photo. Sorry for the ignorant table hoarders... I always remain aware that others are waiting. Nice way to end the trip at Chef Mickey's. I personally liked eating there, more of a nostalgic reason than a quality thing. This upcoming trip, my daughter put the thumbs down and said she didn't want to go there. Last February we were there on Valentine's Day. We observed some unexpected drama.

Apparently there may have been a real backstory with the cast members who were playing Mickey and Minnie. The drama was kinda funny. My 12 year old at one point said " See dad.. Even Mickey and Minnie argue".I would have LOVED that too. We once saw Daisy and Donald fight at Tusker House. He backed into her completely by accident and she got mad. It was awesome. He later came over and apologized, but it took her a while to come around. Those moments are so much fun.Bravo!! Great report!If BFF wasn't impressed with the whistle blowing, chair climber, please let me know when he is going to show off HIS skills.I will make a special trip, camera and video camera in hand, to see it! :rofl2:64 days left!I love that you call him BFF. I might have to try that here at home. I am so sure he'll LOVE it!!!AWESOME REPORT!!Thanks for the compliment. I was taking notes on your posts on the Trip report tutorial, hoping to make this whole process easier next time.Awesome TR!! I couldn't get that much accomplished with just 2 kids! :whew:It's easier the more you have, don't you know???This was an awesome report. I hope you do another one in the Spring!Already planning on it. Gives me one more reason to "have" to go on vacation! Twist my arm please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big Kahuna aka John 71 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Is this a true story?!Yes it is... It was the most Un Disney moment I have ever witnessed... Managers were everwhere within minutes, and Donald and Goofy were working overtime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BuckeyeFortMama 43 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Just an update. We are staying through Easter and leaving on Monday. School is overrated anyway compared to extra time at the Fort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ºoºThomasclan85ºoº 8 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Just finished and totally enjoyed the whole thing. Beautiful pictures of your kids. The oldest definitely looks like Belle! Thanks for taking the time to share all those pics! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yay!!! Easter at the Fort is so much fun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Somehow I missed your Chef Mickey update last month. Nicely done....a character meal just prior to hitting the road. We've never done that...we always leave early in the morning and get moving. But I've thought about getting a later start after a nice send off breakfast some day.
