We LOVE taking the Monorail from MK to Epcot too Connie! It's such a nice relaxing ride and I also REALLY LOVE looking down at Future World when the Monorail gets to Epcot!! Great pics of the topiaries and of the fountain, Epcot has so many beautiful things to take pictures of!!

Seems as though your morning got off to a great start - and those wait times are remarkable!

Sounds like a yummy start to a beautiful day. It really can be a lot of walking if you take the bus to Magic Kingdom and then the monorail to Epcot. If they had a direct monorail from MK to Epcot it would be less walking and waiting. But, still, riding the monorail is a lot of fun.

I love the pictures of the Flower and Garden Festival. I so wish it had still been taking place when we went.

I missed this update last night (didn't DIS much...was watching my Chicago Blackhawks and chewing on my nails).

Ashton has good taste -- I love omelets and it is the only kind of eggs I will eat. Yeah, I know...I'm weird.

I like Universe of Energy too but they really need to do something about shading that area -- it is brutal. Great wait times, however, on the other attractions.

Yay for riding TSMM 2x in a row!!! Awesome Pixie dust!!!! I just love the video of Ashton dancing- soooo adorable! I didn't know they did a dance party. What a fun thing and it's cute how excited he is about his "sword"- Donovan would be exactly the same way!

 

[Charlefours]

for a pin code!! Happy Anniversary!!

Great pixie dust at TSM! I think we are going to leave our evening plans more open on a few nights so who knows, perhaps we will try the dance party out. It looks like a great time! :

The monorail seems like a classic Disney thing to experience. Maybe one of these years we will be able to do so too.

Glad that you were able to ride the monorail!! My girls love riding the monorail!! Epcot looks sooo pretty all decorated for the F&G Festival!

Ashton loves the monorail! Epcot was so pretty all made it...I wish I would have had a day or even half just to myself to walk around. It is so amazing and beautiful the things they do with flower.

I love riding the loop in Epcot! especially during the F&G Festival is so pretty!

Hello! Beth last year Ashton was all smiles and out within two minutes...the cold air and the smooth ride is so peaceful. Yes, it does I was really wishing we had a DLSR this year instead of next...

Seems as though your morning got off to a great start - and those wait times are remarkable!

our morning was wonderful...laid back no rushing, no one was complaining...the wait times on this day was great throughout the park only Soarin' had a line! the weather was also wonderful it was in the mid 80's with a breeze all day!

Sounds like a yummy start to a beautiful day. It really can be a lot of walking if you take the bus to Magic Kingdom and then the monorail to Epcot. If they had a direct monorail from MK to Epcot it would be less walking and waiting. But, still, riding the monorail is a lot of fun.

I think the second up ramp really did my mom in! going down was a breeze...and needing to go to the restroom was no help
I'm sorry you missed it; it is so beautiful!

Congrats! to your Blackhawks!!! Danny loves omelets; I like them with seafood usally have to those myself. We always enjoy Universe of Energy. Yes it was great times and very low crowds...

Thanks! Ashton can be a cutie! he had a lot of fun both years

Thanks! Stephanie That is a great way to do it when you have the extra days to cover the parks at a slow pace and Lillian will LOVE the dance party! I can almost guarantee that one! You must take Lillian on te monorail maybe when you are going from Epcot or MK to one of the resorts for one of your ADR's (I don't remember your ADR's at the moment but I'm sure you have at least one ) you guys are going to have so much fun and it is almost time for you guys already!

More great pictures! I love the one of everyone sitting together outside of Ellen and the one of Ashton and your mom on the monorail- sweet!! We havent been to the Ellen adventure.... do you think we should try it next time??

 

[longing2Batdisney]

Hey Nickie! thanks for the kind words on the pictures! Ashton loves his Nana!!!
Universe of Energy is interesting I think the boys would LOVE the dinosaur part of it. The film that immediately follows is kinda of iffy for the little ones...Ashton did well because Gwendolyn was playing where is Ellen with him but if you don't have to wait a long time for it to let in I think it is something fun to add to the mix. Remember it does take 45 min from the start to finish...

My boys love the monorail as well. They could ride it all day. We need to bring them on the MK/Epcot loop. It has been forever since they did that one.

 

[jenseib]

We've done the monorail just to ride it too. I miss arrivning to MK on it when staying onsite. So we try to get a little ride on it if we can. One year we tried to get Claire to fall asleep, so we rode from Epcot switched to MK, and then back to Epcot. But that stinker wouldn't fall asleep

When you go for Mardi Gras you need to plan a ride we did it last year and this year...last year was a hopper day we had planned to hop from MK to Epcot this year I just decided to do it when I seen the bus lines and glad I did...I'm sure my parents thought I was crazy and wish they would have just met us there

That's too funny about Claire not falling asleep; but, it sounds like a nice relaxing ride around part of the world and resort...my luck she would have fallen asleep just as we got off!

After learning about energy and playing Jeopardy along with Ellen, we moved to the Land of Imiagnation to meet Figment...Gwendolyn could not wait to introduce Ashton to Figment, one of her all time favs. She still has her stuffed version of him from her first visit!

This was a walk on!

can you see the laughing smile...haha I'm not letting you take my picture...but you better get a few... pattern going here

HERE WE GOOOOO!

I was able to get a few good shots without the flash

cont...

 

[jenniferkeala808]

great pics from figment...glad it was a walk on!!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

two short video clips of Ashton and Gwendolyn having a little fun in Imagination...
and Danny too!




from here we walked over to "Honey I Shrunk the Audience"...we had about a 10 min wait until the next show. Gwendolyn and the older crew decided that they were leaving from here to go to Typhoon Lagoon...

after they let us in to the preshow the CM walked up to my parents and told them to have a seat on the stage area while waiting --many other people followed suit but I really thought it was nice to tell them personally...

hmmm...this is interesting!

from here we stopped for another frozen lemonade--mom and I really enjoyed these!!
while waiting to finish our lemonade's we saw this mommy and her ducklings

we were on our way to visit Nemo and friends when Ashton stopped to make a friend (this CM was great with him, just too bad he was not into the pin trade)

back later with our venture under the seas...my sister's children are at my mom's from GA and we are on our way to visit and have dinner!

I love Figment, it's such a cute ride- and there's never a wait!
I could stare at the 'jumping water' for hours. It's pretty interesting
