Where did this heat and all these people come from? The new PTR/TR link 5/7

[kschafer]

Interesting outfit! The one trailing behind her looks equally as odd.....

Crowd aside, it sounds like you had a nice morning/early afternoon at MK. Looking forward to your parade pics - you know, since I walked out on it and all.......

Honestly, I look at that crowd picture and don't remember it being that bad. The only long line we ended up in was Jungle Cruise and that was a conscious decision. A good touring plan is golden!

Nice update. It sure looks pack over there. I love HM.

I never buy slushies but did purchase one last year. It was a Raspberry Lemonade and it was the best thing that I had the whole trip and can't wait to get another.

I think some parents let there kids cut in line so they don't have to wait. I for one think it is so rude mostly of the parents.

I've heard good things about the raspberry lemonade one, it's on my to-try list if I can ever pass on the coke

Yes, the attitude of entitlement is one that drives me crazy! I think the Disney attitude towards customer service is awesome but to a small extent, I think it breeds that attitude.

Sounds like you did pretty good even with the crowds. I love your photopass picture poses! The pictures you took from TTA are fantastic! I would love me a coke slushie right now...

It was really a good morning/afternoon, we got a lot done despite the crowds.

Thanks

For the life of me, I just can't seem to find her other leg!

She does look a bit flamingo-like doesn't she! I don't recall her hopping on one leg so she MUST have had a second one

at least he's got two legs!!!

They were a bit interesting for sure, too bad I didn't see them coming, only as they were passing me

What's up with the real life doll from IASW? That looks like some kind of crazy CM costume, but she is carrying a back pack so it must be a reall person.

I love your HM pics. You got some really great ones! What type of setting do you use to get them? Very nice.

I still haven't had a cream cheese pretzel and I really want one.

You guys had a great day in MK. Looks like a ton of fun!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Those crowds!!! I have a feeling I will have some pictures of my own like that in a few weeks.

I about died laughing about over the escaped IASW doll!

 

[PrincessInOz]

I remember those crowds. That IASM doll is hilarious! I wonder what happened to the other leg? Maybe she was at a TS3 day care .

I had the cream cheese pretzel at MK and it was a delicious snack! Now you've got me salivating for another one of them.....

 

[javamom]

All caught up and enjoying your pics!

Happy Birthday to Patrick! Love the gummy bear cake!

Wowza! I would say that's quite a crowd in Frontierland! We never saw anything like this that week. Then again, I expect you weren't exiting the Parks every day like we did by lunchtime!

Love the photopass pictures in front of the Castle!

 

[MegansMom]

Back from vacay Katie and all caught up!!!! What a great MK day you all were having....even if there were a bit of crowds lurking around! Sounds like you guys were doing pretty well on seeing everything you wanted to that day!

Oh geez MEK! I can't believe you are asking me a photography question! Actually, I just used the low light setting on my little point and shoot...that's all I know! Honestly, the picture of the singing busts turned out good because we were stopped momentarily. Most of my stuffed turned out blurry because of the long exposure time.

You must put the pretzel on your must-eat list!

Those crowds!!! I have a feeling I will have some pictures of my own like that in a few weeks.

I about died laughing about over the escaped IASW doll!

That crowd I would expect in July, in May it was a bit shocking!

She was a cutie, maybe you should show Chelsea that picture and she could recreate the look for her birthday

Aww, thanks

Poor Trish! the good news is although we saw those crowds, we never really got caught up in them

Overall, I was really pleased with my PP pics

Back from vacay Katie and all caught up!!!! What a great MK day you all were having....even if there were a bit of crowds lurking around! Sounds like you guys were doing pretty well on seeing everything you wanted to that day!

Hey Jen, welcome back! I was really pleased that my plan worked out so well in getting all our wanted attractions in!

2 quick life updates:

1. I wanted to share Beth's FB status last night "I CAN HUG MY HUSBAND AND SONS WITHOUT PAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ALMOST THREE YEARS! IT WORKED! PTL!!! Don't take the "little things" in life for granted." This just makes me SO happy!! Beth hasn't complained much through this entire ordeal, her attitude has just amazed me! But in her times of weakness, she has shared how her life has changed and it has been incredibly difficult for her. I'm so happy she can now return to the way life was (including finally bringing home the daughter from China they have been wanting for 3 years)

2. I wasn't going to say anything because I have had very bad luck in this area in the last 2 years but I really need some prayers and good wishes! My "old" Dis-friends know this but my newer friends don't. I was a high school teacher for 8 years and left for a variety of reasons. since then, finding another job has been much more challenging than I ever anticipated. There were 2 retirements at the middle school in my town which I thought would be the perfect new job for me. They ended up filling both with people already a part of the school in other positions. A couple weeks ago, one of those people backed out and the job was reopened. Yesterday I interviewed and hopefully will get a job offer soon (it may not be until after the holiday weekend) Wish me luck please!!

So glad Beth's surgery is working and allowing her to be pain free!

We will through a coin or two into the WL geyser for you. You know that thing has some serious power so hopefully you will get the job.

 

[praisehisname]

Saying a prayer for you about the job!

 

[Happy Elf]

So glad that Beth is doing well!

Prayers for that job coming your way! With a little pixie dust thrown in for good measure

 

[Poolrat]

So glad Beth is doig well.

Wishing you some pixie dust for the job.

If Jill puts a coin in the WL geyser for you, you can pretty much count on your wish coming true.

 

[Lady Lallie]

I'm so happy that Beth is doing well, what a relief for her and her loved ones!

I'm hoping for you on this job offer!!

 

[jillyb]

That is wonderful news about Beth!!

Sending lots of your way for the job.

 

[SoonerGirl]

I'm so happy to hear how well Beth is doing - I just can't imagine not being able to hug my family!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you on the job!!!

 

[KatMark]

Oooh, new PTR! Heading that way next..

GREAT news on Beth; I hope she continues to get stronger and stronger every day; and hope she has her "daughter" home soon.

on the job. I will say an extra prayer each night for you.

 

[dd50]

So glad that Beth is on the mend and without pain.

Good luck on the job. It is really hard here right now getting a teaching job. It seems they have got rid of art and a few other things and letting some people go and moving others around.

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Wow, look at that crowd! I'm glad you were able to avoid most of that with your touring plan. Score! That cream cheese pretzel looks much more appetizing than the turkey on wheat I am faced with today. Jealous! I also love the Haunted Mansion. It's so much fun!
