it's a small world, after all

[lepo]

THE DISNEY WORLD MEME
( for the happiest place on earth )

SETTING:
1) THE PARKS - When most people think of Disney World, they're probably thinking of the Magic Kingdom (considering, you know, the castle). But there are also three other parks to take part in: Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom, each with their own appeal. Here, pick one. Or get a parkhopper ticket and see them all.
2) WATER PARKS - There are two of them: Blizzard Beach (with a snow theme!) and Typhoon Lagoon. Do slides. Go swimming. Do things!
3) DOWNTOWN DISNEY - Get your shop on! Downtown Disney is, essentially, the shopping district, and you will probably get lost in World of Disney at one point during your stay. There's the Marketplace, which caters to people with Disney tastes (and also has the Earl of Sandwich, which is hella great), while the West Side has a movie theatre. And Candy Cauldron. It's all pretty cool.
4) RESORTS - They have to come into play at some point during your vacation, right? Good thing you have so many to choose from. And there's a 110% chance that they will have awesome food. And towel animals.
5) WAITING IN TRAFFIC ON I-4 - You're not even on property yet. I'm so sorry. On the plus side, you could just give up and go to the outlets.

WHEN:
1) SUMMER - The crowds are out. It's Florida. It's hot. Please stay hydrated.
2) FALL - It's still hot! However, there's also the Magic Kingdom halloween party going on! Do you want to go trick-or-treating? Hell yeah you do.
3) WINTER - Go see some soap snow! Or, the Osbrorne Family Festival of Lights! Even still, you can hop over to Magic Kingdom and get some hot chocolate and cookies. Just don't expect it to be cold. It's probably still hot.
4) FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL - This is more important than including spring: Epcot's yearly showcase of foods from around the globe - and the alcohol to go with them. Fill up. Get wasted. Just watch out for everyone else who is probably just as drunk as you.

WHAT:
1) ATTRACTIONS - There are a lot of good ones. Don't get overwhelmed. Are you debating what to get a Fastpass for? Are you braving the two-hour lines for Space Mountain? Are you riding Haunted Mansion for the fiftieth time in a row? Are you actually just poking your head into the Hall of Presidents to take a nap? It's okay. We don't judge.
2) PARADE - Don't scoff, these things are elaborate. They also clear out about half the park as they stop and marvel at some floats. And if you're in the right place (I.E. Magic Kingdom), there might be dancing involved. From you. It's a thing.
3) SHOPPING - Another chance for you to get lost in World of Disney! Or the Emporium! Or, go buy some mouse ears. Don't be the only one without them, come on. (Alternatively, join the crowds scrambling for ponchos when it inevitably starts raining.)
4) PARKING - Yes, this is an event and an adventure all in itself, from finding your spot to hopping on the trams, to getting back out of the park and doing it all again. If you can find your car. Spoilers: You probably can't. Should've just taken the bus.
5) EATING - I'm not saying you haven't lived until you've had a Dole Whip, but that's exactly what I'm saying. Also, try not to explode when you eat the kitchen sink. And if that doesn't work for you, turkey legs. Turkey legs everywhere. Or you can just go get drunk at the Tune-In Lounge at 10:00 AM. Nobody's judging.
6) CHARACTER DINING - An entirely separate entity, because it's exactly what it sounds like: a dinner with characters. Well. Characters walking around and grabbing you for photo ops while you eat.
7) SCAVENGER HUNT - Do you want to go find clues to help Agent P save the world (formerly Kim Possible)? Yeah you do. Go get a cell phone. Go do it.
8) FIREWORKS - They say Disney World does have the best fireworks, and it's true. Just look out at the entranced faces through Magic Kingdom or Epcot once dark falls. Alternatively, this is your cheesy romance option handed to you. Go. Grab it.
9) MEETING CHARACTERS - Are you begrudgingly getting your picture taken, or are they your absolute favorite? Did you catch them just as they came out, or are you in line about to punch the attendant if they cut the line off before you? (Protip: please do not punch our character attendants).
10) WATCHING A SHOW - Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, anyone? Broadway-style musicals? Fantasmic, after it gets dark? Sit down. Eat something. Go watch them. Is there audience participation? Probably.
11) WORKING - You might be at a restaurant, you might be working a ride, you might be in guest services, you might even be a character! Or it might be your first day, and you're stuck in the labyrinthine tunnels beneath the Magic Kingdom. But let's be real - all that matters is who you're gonna kill the next time a guest asks you what time the three o'clock parade is.

Mix and match. Go wild (because I cut the brakes). Have a magical day!

It’s taken an incredible amount of convincing, meaning not too much, to drag his greasy-haired sibling, who bore an unmatched impulse to stab, along with him to such a wondrous place – Disney World. Apparently, the thought of remaining alone in the company of Brunhilde, Heimdall, Hulk, and especially Korg did not sit well with the trickster. Thor had thought not, but that didn’t curb his excitement when Loki begrudgingly agreed to attend the theme park with the overzealous god of thunder. He’d thank Thor for it, later.

Dressed in board shorts, a blue patterned tank-top, flip-flops, and of course, a pair of sunglasses, Thor looked the part of a mundane visitor. Loki, on the other hand, did not. In his all black tailored suit, he stuck out like a sore thumb, thus, so did Thor. As big an eyesore as it was, it was hardly bad enough to keep Thor from seeking his fun. He’s owed and deserved this much considering the loss of one hammer, a father, and an eye that he hides behind those stylish shades in such a short amount of time.

Children and adults alike bump into them constantly. It’s crowded, beyond packed here. That’s alright, it’s all part of the fun – he’s getting the full experience! Enjoying himself enough for the both of them because Loki looked as though he’d rather be anywhere but here. It gave him a thought, really. They were nearly to the Typhoon Lagoon water park. Again, Thor was dressed appropriately for this. Loki was not.

“Odin’s beard,” Thor remarked upon getting a better look at the place. “Are those slides?” He glanced over to Loki, ignoring the many odd looks he received from other tourists, and smiled big. “We’re doing them. Quickly, change into something less…well, uh, less witchy.”

[They're still stuck on the road, and Shuri is deeply frustrated that T'Challa won't let her drive. She could get them there in no time at all.

But it gives her time to crank her music and tap her hands to the beat against the dashboard.]

You promise this isn't a trick, yes? You're really taking me to Disneyland this time?

[holy shit it's like irl kingdom hearts with these final fantasy characters all up in this magic kingdom what on earth

Is there any doubt that Ignis is the Team Mom™ on this little adventure? Certainly not, and it's probably entirely due to his efforts that they're even all here and semi-prepared for a day in the Magic Kingdom in one piece, each with their cell phones charged, their Easy Passes at the ready, and with backpacks of water bottles and snacks distributed all around because by gods nobody is getting heat stroke on Ignis's watch, no sir.

It's not that big of a surprise when Prompto and Gladio peel off, really; Gladio is on a mission to get the phone numbers of every single Disney Princess in the park, and Prompto went along with it in kind, laughing all the way and assuring them that he'd take photographic evidence of the whole ordeal. That leaves Ignis and Noctis on Main Street U.S.A., with Cinderella's castle just ahead in the distance, and the whole of the park essentially at their fingertips.

Surreptitiously, Ignis's arm sneaks around Noct's waist, and if anyone asks he'll maintain that it's purely for the sake of not losing him in the crowd. Definitely.]

Well? They say this is a place where dreams come true, Noct; have you thought of which ones you want granted, yourself?

[ Every once in a while, the school does field trips right. This one to Disney, however? Charlie's waiting for shit to hit the fan. This was a bunch of energetic mutant teenagers, thrown into the happiest place on earth. How is no one dead? Where is the ridiculous string of bad luck? This was too good to be true, so Charlie? She may be side eyeing Tiana a bit. And Merida. And pretty much every Disney character as she window shops. Has she hit a single ride yet? God, no. She has no plans to do so. She was given spending money for souvenirs and food and damn it, she was going to find something to spend it on.

Or probably not. Twenty bucks for a black t-shirt with Mickey ears on it seemed a bit much. ]

Okay, how many more days until we're back at the school?

[ She may also be having a hard time with this because crowds in general make her nervous. Help her out, dad Logan. She's enjoying very little of this. ]

[It's like the lead-in to a bad joke, really: a witch and a necromancer walk into the Happiest Place on Earth, left to their own devices on this little family vacation because their god-dad and their zombie-mom are off together in Epcot somewhere, probably on a hot date.

Hot because this is Florida and everything is hot down here. A high-temperature date. Not the other kind of hot date because gross, who wants to think about their parents like that? Jeez.

Suffice to say, however, they're here — and maybe some people would think that buddying up with their sibling for a day of adventure in the Magic Kingdom would be a gigantic drag, but those people are clearly not Lise and Jean, who have been all but inseparable since the instant they were born, and who even now gravitate toward each other every chance they get.

(There are no weapons permitted in the parks, which bothers Lise, and makes her fingers itch. It's hard to explain why; surely the likelihood of any of Jean's night terrors finding them here in a place this bubbling with positivity is slim to none. Yet she loathes the thought of not being ready, just in case. How much better she would feel with a blade of any variety — a butter knife, a nail file, anything with an edge, anything that could cut if she needed it to.)

Still. She adjusts her large, dark sunglasses on her nose, as much to hide the telltale red of her eyes as to protect her vision generally from the glare of the sun, and casts a smile toward her brother.]

Okay. Where to first?

T'Challa ( MCU )

[borned]

[uncolonized]

[She's just happy to be here. No scratch that, so ecstatic to be here. Now that they've finished setting things up with the Science Outreach program, she has demanded that Disneyland happens.

Of course T'Challa gets them a room in one of the exceedingly fancy resorts (though Shuri is getting used to not everything being touch screen). She tosses her suitcase in the corner and throws herself onto the bed]

Where are you taking me first, brother?

[Before they even arrived, they were already figuring out what all they wanted to see and in what order, but because of how haphazardly they’d thrown together their plans (especially between masked enthusiasm on Bucky’s part), he’s lost track of what’s on the menu (aside from EVERYTHING), so even though they’ve only just gotten off their fourth ride, he finds himself sheepishly asking, even as Shuri tugs on his arm apparently knowing exactly where to go.]

What’s next again? [There’s an echo of soft laughter in his words.]
