YOU GUYS I’M GOING TO DISNEYWORLD TOMORROW!!!
i know!!! it’s exciting!!!!
i think i might be spazzing out almost as hard as i did the first time i went there, when i was five. according to my dad, i hugged every single character i laid my eyes on. and based on the photographic evidence, he’s not exaggerating.



that is some serious huggage. also, i am really hoping they still make those pink hats with ears.
of course, the disneyworld experience will be a little be different this time around. for example, i won’t have to wear a nametag in case i get lost.

however, the stuffing of the face… that’s not gonna change.
plus, i’m sure they have new rides and maybe new countries in epcott and there’s gonna be a lot of new people dressed up that i probably won’t recognize cos i don’t really watch disney movies anymore.
fortunately, i have miss disney pants herself, erica g., to guide me and henri– you think *i’m* excited, call erica right now and say, “hey, i heard you were going to disneyworld!” and then, my friend, you will have a brand new definition of excitement. plus a permanent loss of hearing.
erica used to WORK there, so she knows all of the cool things to do. plus i’m hoping she will take us on the “secret” tour of disney’s dark underbelly, like where cinderella goes to smoke or whatever. then i will write a huge expose about it on this blog and receive a pulitzer!
but don’t worry, i’m not leaving you alone on le blog! i have lined up some v. v. excellent pantstributors for the next few days, so you guys are in for a better-than-an-actual-cupcake treat. in fact, i’m almost as excited to read their entries as i am to ride space mountain! you know, almost.
for now, though, i am accepting any and all recommendations (even though i have erica, the Ultimate Source). tell me what to do in disneyworld! where should i eat? what rides must i ABSOLUTEY go on? which character should receive my biggest, bestest hug?
and let me know if you want me to bring you back something french!
I’ve never been to Disneyworld! So I cannot advise you. But what I would like to know is whether you’re attempting to get to second base with that giant pig.
They have so many hats it’s ridiculous. You could change mouse ears every hour of your entire stay and not wear them all! There’s an indoor area just inside epcot where you can meet all the major disney characters-mickey, minnie, goofy, pluto and the duck (whose name escapes me right now). We waited 45 minutes, but it was totally worth it. Have FUN!!!
It appears you narrowly avoided being eaten by that giant pig. Not kosher.
Please, please you have GOT to wear a tag (as do Henri & Erica) like you have on in the fourth picture. I love thinking that your dad a.k.a. Mr. Safety Pants actually tagged his little Poshlet in case she got lost. So cute! Have a great time!
OMG. THOSE PICTURES. ARE. SO. FREAKING. CUTE!
Little nametagged Sarah eating ice cream and hugging everything! JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER DAY, assuming you wear a nametag at work?
Have an outlandish amount of fun, Erica, Henri and Sarah! BYE!!
I agree with Meredith, those photographs are fantastic. I went to Disneyworld when I was five and it was a big deal because we went to AMERICA. Big, big deal. We went to Seaworld too, is that part of Disneyworld? Go to Seaworld.
As for the biggest hug, dude it better be Goofy. I’m all about the Goofy.
How fun! I love it how your hugging photos are all so intent on the hug, and not at all intent on the photograph being taken.
My only advice, gleaned from an evening each at Magic Kingdom and Epcot when I had a conference there a few years ago, is to beware of the Mars ride at Epcot. I have never, ever, ever been so close to puking on a coworker. I imagine your tummy is tougher than mine, but you may want to not go on it immediately following a large meal. Also, Soarin’ over California is a lovely ride, and, well, it is over the most lovely state in the Union, so I highly recommend it.
Lovely time to you, dearie.
Okay so when I was in band in highschool (marching band – NERD ALERT!), we took a Disney trip and marched in the Disney parade and we totally went BEHIND THE SCENES and there were these dudes in suits wearing sunglasses and earpieces and they said that if they saw us taking pictures they would CONFISCATE OUR CAMERAS. And I DID see Cinderella smoking AND Tigger walking around without his head. It was terrifying.. and it smelled bad. So yeah, stay in the fun part that’s all a facade – that’s where the real magic happens!
Dude, cutest pictures ever! I love how your shorts match your hat. Have a super ton of fun! I’m hoping to go back this year, too!
those pictures are so cute! have a great time. last time i went to disneyworld was fifteen years ago. and i was there with my family and both sets of grandparents. we drove from dallas to orlando. all eight of us. in the same car. good times.
WHAT THE CRAP!!!! That’s where my whole family came from. My parents will be extremely very mad at you. Oh man, you better just call my dad now and apologize, you are in superdeeptroublepants. My grandmother too, in fact, you need to call every pearson and henderson in the county.
Seriously, this is just a wierd cross over of my worlds and it’s making my head hurt and my stomach turn over.
That popsicle picture is soooo cute. I can’t wait to hear about your trip!
