Ain't Nobody Got Time For That - Yucky Neighbors! (1/3)

[My sister's princess]

In all my trips I've never seen a Mickey pretzel!!! Learn something new all the time.

I think it's fairly new at the Lunching Pad. It was a very nice afternoon snack!

Great pics! I love it.

Thanks!

I love the TTA! It's a great way to take a short little break. You get to rest your tired feet, get a little bit of a breeze, and people watch at the same time! Did y'all do CoP? It's another favorite.

I'm so excited to visit all the new "stuff" that's been added since our last trip-The Laugh Floor, the Little Mermaid Ride, the New Fantasyland, dual Dumbo's....not to mention everything at EPCOT, Hollywood Studios (is it still called that?) and the AK.

I miss the magic!

We didn't do COP this trip, we kept meaning to, it just never kind of happens.... You will love the newer stuff, it has the same sense of magic, but is something new and exciting to try!

Okay..... I've missed some, so I had to get caught up!!! Dole whip.... uhhhh, YES!!! Yummmm.... I haven't tried chasing the villains, but it sounds pretty cool, especially since I just read Kingdom Keepers. I have never done The Laugh Floor or People mover... and yes, I know, I've been there multiple times now!! ha ha.

Is the Laugh Floor really good? What do you DO on the people mover? So dumb to not know... ha ha.

I love the photo Josh took of you. It's like I get to live vicariously through your trip... even though I was just there a month ago.... Ba ha ha ha ha!!!

LOVED the Dole Whips, and the chasing the villains was fun, until we had issues later... The boys would LOVE the laugh floor, take them. On the people mover you just relax and see the sights!

Glad you are enjoying!!!!

Keep them coming!!!!!

Will do!

That pretzel is definitely on my snack list for our trip!!
I love your food pictures,you have done a great job

Thank you!!! Yes, make sure you get one, and post lots of photos of it!

Hmmm... apparently Photobucket doesn't like you.

I'm glad that you were able to find your photopass pictures, and I'm guessing that first card will turn up later... like in another pocket or something. It was definitely a good idea for the CM to make you take a picture, and send it to your DH. She must have seen how hard it is for you to hang on to your own camera.

I literally just saw this TR in your siggy! I"m so behind but i'm off to catch up now!

 

[Leshaface]

I'm at the third update but can't see any pics except for your PP pics?! And same for the Dining Reviews!

 

[sheila <3 WDW]

I couldn't see most of the pictures from your last update either. I'm super happy for you that they were able to recover your pictures! On our first trip one of the photopass photographers suggested I take a picture of the numbers on the back. Definitely a good tip!

 

[fritzfamily]

Too funny, I am just about to order that adorable blue t-shirt you are wearing to take on my big trip!

 

[My sister's princess]

Hey all, just got back from camping, have an update tonight!!! Sorry about the photos, no idea what happened, they appear to work now, but if they don't again yell at me!!!

Yeah, it was smart of her. I think the issue is fixed, no idea what happened with my photos! Stay tuned for more photopass fun....

Boooooo on the photos, can you see them now? Glad you are enjoying

LOVE that shirt!

We rode Buzz again, Josh creaming me of course!










This time around we both concentrated really hard!




We had two more things on the list for tonight. One was dinner, and one was exploring a brand new area!




As we wandered over I had to take a peek.







I LOVE that they have set up the peeking places!

I was very excited to see this new area!




Neither of us had ever ridden Dumbo, and it had a 5 minute wait, so we decided now was the perfect time!!

Before we went in though we saw a Photopass photographer with the photo area Dumbo and decided to stop! I am so glad we did too, because when we got off Dumbo, there was no photographer there!







I stopped and asked the man at the front if we would be able to ride. He looked at me like I was kinda insane, and I explained I meant could two adults ride in a Dumbo…. He assured me that it would be just fine!
We headed for the big top!







Once inside I asked the man working which Dumbo we should ride. I explained it was our first ride, and he said the original Dumbo should be our first ride, so we went to the left!

We only waited a few minutes before loading.

Josh made fun of me because I had to get into the Dumbo first according to the sign.







I love the fountains they have under the Dumbos!




Soon enough it was time for our first flight!!




We were dumped into the Big Top shop, where we looked around!




We didn’t get a treat, but someday I will get one there!




I got to try on these fun ears!

Love the Oswald ears. That was my number one priority on my last trip. Proud to say that I now have a pair in my extensive ear hat collection!

 

[wiigirl]

Awesome update!

 

[Carissa 80]

This last trip was my first time on Dumbo too! Thanks for sharing the photos. Those were some great photos of the two of you!! Thanks for the sneak peek of the new ride too. It was to crowded to sneak a peak when I was there. Although one night I was in MK after midnight and you could hear them working on it.

 

[afwdwfan]

I can't wait until the new mine train opens... I'm more excited about that than I have been for anything else in the new Fantasyland.

You really should have gotten a snack in the tent at Storybook Circus.

I kind of wish I had bought them, but I don't know that they would have made it home well....

Awesome update!

Thanks! More this weekend!

They seem to be working on it nearly around the clock, I don't understand why it is taking so long...

I am really excited to see how the combine the old with the new. From what I understand they saved some of the Snow White sets from the past ride to put into this one. And yes I should have gotten a snack

I have to remember to look for a PP photog outside of Dumbo! That is such a cute shot! Plus, it's always so hard to get a self-portrait while flying....

My sister made me get in the Dumbo first as well. She said we must follow the rules. Shorter people unite!

 

[Leshaface]

Okay just wanted to comment on a few things before I continue on with your TR..i'm on page 6.

I never saw that sign on Gaston's fountain! That is hilarious. DH would love to see this!

And OMG about that guy! I think you're awesome for taking a picture of him! That is something I SO would have done too. What the heck does, 'You'll be fine" mean? What a nut job. Like Andy said, hope the flash was on

 

[Leshaface]

All caught up!

I never even thought to ask about retrieving a lost PP card. What a smart idea to have them look up your outfit. A tip I need to remember just in case.

I love your shoes btw!

That's cool that they have a Dumbo that you can sit in and get pictures! Where is it located?

I hope they have the photog there more often! And your sister sounds like mine, meanies!

The sign totally cracked me up.
Yeah that guy was a jerk, at least watch the show if you are going to block my view!

I asked if they could help, figured if I knew where/when the last photo was taken they could help me figure it out.

Thanks on the shoes I LOVE them. New Balance makes a kid's wide that fits better than any other shoes I have tried!

That Dumbo is right between the two rides, tucked in a tent area.

 

[My sister's princess]

After peeking around the big top, it was time to meet some characters! But on the way I stopped to look at the train!



While in line to meet Minnie and Daisy we spoke with a man about his daughter, and to the couple in front of us who had the most adorable children! I was very excited to meet Minnie in her pink sparkle outfit! Josh was excited to meet Daisy. She tries to take him from me every trip. Every single trip!







After our posing session, we decided to do another first! The Barn Stormer!













We enjoyed the ride a lot! Never realized how much get up and go it has! There are tons of hats under the track, so we weren’t the only ones who didn’t realize!

All this exploring took up a bit of time, and it was getting close to time for us to check in, so we started to head for the other side of Fantasyland.
Josh pointed out to me that the dwarfs on the wall are doing things that match the area they are in. Here is an example; these little guys are right outside of the Tea Cups!




And these little guys were right outside Bell’s cottage!



We headed over to the area outside of Be Our Guest and heard the nice folks at the check in turn away about a million people.
You can read more about this dinner HERE in my dining review! But here is a quick recap.

We arrived a bit early, and were told we should wait to check in, because there was no way they would be able to seat us early. Once we checked in we had a short wait on the bridge before we headed in.





We shared the muscles to begin with




I also had a nice glass of bubbly!




We both chose the steak. Josh with fries, me with the macaroni.




For dessert I chose the chocolate cupcake, and Josh the chocolate puff pastry.







We were also lucky enough to have the Grey Stuff!!!



And we met the beast!













We stopped on the way out to check out the talking suits of armor!







They were very chatty!

I love that on the Photopass CD they give you a few fun Be Our Guest shots!










This had been a long day, and we knew the next few were going to be long too, so we headed back to get some sleep!

Steps taken - 22,605

Wow! The whole Beast's castle area looks amazing!
So lucky that you were able to find your photos!
Love the report and can't wait for more.

 

[Leshaface]

What a fun update!

I'm hoping to eat here for lunch during our next trip, if we can get there early enough. Your meal looks terrific! Does everyone get a chance to carry the candelabra inside the restaurant?
