Disney Wine & Dine: Friday

Hey y’all!  I’m excited to share about what happened on Friday during the Disney Wine & Dine Weekend.  It was a packed-full day of fun and awesome and tired!

It’s a little bit of a lengthy post, but it’s mostly pictures and videos!  ENJOY!
In case you missed it: Pre-Disney

////////////////////////////////////////////////

So on Friday, we were all packed up from Lacy’s grandmother’s ready to go.  They cooked us breakfast before we left.  I was over the moon excited about returning to Disney!  Our first stop was the Expo.  At the expo we could pick up all of our race material and do some shopping.  Since funds are pretty tight right now, I didn’t do much shopping, but I did pick out an awesome wine glass (I couldn’t help myself, Disney WINE and dine!)  The expo was a lot of fun.

Y’all know I was planning on meeting Meg at Disney.  We had chatted about when we would be at the expo, but I wasn’t sure if we would end up seeing each other there.  The truth is, when I arrived, I was so overwhelmed with everything and the excitement that I forgot she was on her way.  I picked up my packet and then we were rushing over to the pre-race taste packet pick-up when someone grabbed my shoulder, I turned around and IT WAS MEG!!! I embarrassingly jumped up and down like a lunatic because I was sooo excited to see her!  We chatted, I met her mom, dad, and Mike and then we sadly had to depart : (  Our time together surely was not enough!

Also…. we had a good many blogger fails over the weekend!  1. We didn’t take a picture when we first me  2. We didn’t finish our originally planned interview vlog and 3. We didn’t get enough time on the blate overall…

Arriving at the Expo!
We stood in the wrong line for like 20 minutes until realizing that our line was the next one over with barely anyone in it! 
Genie!!!!!  If only he could have used his magic to make my run not so painful.
Group photo-op!
My wine glass.  LOVE!
After the Expo, we headed to Sweet Tomatoes for lunch.  I LOVE SWEET TOMATOES!  We don’t have anything like it in Mississippi and I knew my friends would love it just as much as I do and I was completely right!  Remember my friend David?  He met us with his girlfriend at Sweet Tomatoes for lunch.  After we ate way too much (at least it was healthy? right!) we headed to the Boardwalk.  David and I wanted to sneak in the back somewhere and try to say hey to some of our old managers.  David had a “secret passage” he knew about, so we made our way through and didn’t look lost so no one stopped us haha.  We said hey to some old managers and co-workers!  It was a lot of fun and kind of nice to be back… although I wouldn’t want to go back and work as a housekeeper there anywhere.
After we finished up at the Boardwalk, we headed back to the hotel room to freshen up for the Pre-Race taste!  We rode the bus over there and arrived an hour early.  We took a picture with the new Monster’s University design, We got Lacy a “1st visit” pin, and stood in line to film a video.
Monster’s University is the cutest movie EVER!

When we made it inside, we ran to Tower and Terror and waited in line.  After we road that amazing ride, we ran to the Pre-Race Taste event.  At the Pre-race taste event, we ate great food and had amazing drinks.  We ended up sitting by a really great couple from New Jersey.  It was her first half-marathon.  We also got filmed by the Run Disney crew and we ended up being in their video!  In case you missed it…

My interview didn’t get selected, but I think I’m representing Mississippi pretty well, y’all!  Lacy and Noelle made the cut, so did the guy who was from New Jersey!  3/5 people at our table are in the video and that’s practically half the people in the video.
This is where the Lights, Motor, Action stunt show is and where we enjoyed our Pre-race taste!

Mini burgers, mahi-mahi and rice, dessert shooter, and Aulani Sunrise drink!

Our New-Jersey friends!  Seriously, they were awesome!  It made me miss my sweet friend Nicolina!
After the Pre-race taste, we went and road Rock’n Roller Coaster!
I decided to get in the single-rider line, thinking I could get through fast enough to possibly ride again.  Well that was a terrible call because I ended up being on the very last ride of the night.  Lacy & Noelle made it through before I did!
Before we left Hollywood Studios, we stopped by the candy shop and were offered a free mickey caramel apple and some fudge!  Then we filmed another video for the evening and got our picture taken in front of the hat.
Once we left, we decided to head over to the Polynesian because I really wanted some Dole Whip!  I love the stuff.  Lacy and Noelle were not as impressed unfortunately.   We were all exhausted and cranky by the time we finally made it back to the hotel.  I planned on us watching the fire works, but I guess I misjudged the timing because they were practically done when we arrived with our Dole Whip.
That was the end of our Friday!
