Dee, I didn't remember that you had never seen Wishes from inside the park. I am anxious to hear how ya'll liked the dessert party. We went this year but it's late in our trip so I won't get to our review for quite some time.
Despite the rain, you were able to knock out some great attractions! The Peoplemover and Carousel of Progress are our "go to"s when it's raining or super hot.
I know, isn't that a surprising little factoid? I should be able to get the dessert party update done sometime this weekend.
The Peoplemover is always our go-to, but we had already done it back to back and that was enough. It was just way too wet to venture very far.
Yum, CL offerings look yummy.
I know this isn't the first time I've read it, but I'm still so shocked that you had never seen Wishes!
You guys got a lot of attractions done despite the rain!
Aww I kind of like the Carousel of Progress (does that mean I need help??? )
I'm wishing it will stop raining for you guys!
I know, way overdue on Wishes!
I've seen Illuminations about a gazillion times, though, so does that make up for it???
We did ok in the rain, but I'm bummed we didn't get a chance to do Big Thunder that night.
No, I think judging by the responses here about CoP, I am the one who needs help!
Yay! This is where our trip reports overlap now cause that was our last day on our trip as well. It was a pretty crappy raining evening but I was just glad that we got to pack in as much as we could before the skies opened up!
Let's see right around the time you were going to check in to the dessert party, we were in Mickey's Philharmagic
It was a pretty lousy night weather-wise! Kept waiting for the heavy rain to let up, but it just kept getting worse!
Philharmagic is an excellent place to dodge the rain! Unfortunately, it was just a little too far for us to travel.
Yup - that was us. I found the ingredients on line, but when we actually put said ingredients together it didn't quite taste right. But it wasn't really specific about the dark and light rum brands, so perhaps it was a brand thing. We did get to enjoy a TK last month at OKW and it was as good as ever!
I have the recipe saved in my files- I'll have to try it sometime.
Hey, not a bad dinner really.
Um... so... ummmmm... WHAT??!!!!! You'd never seen Wishes???????? I had no idea. How is that possible????? Shhhh, I'll let you in on a little known secret... I kinda like Wishes.
Oh lord, whoever thought metal rings in what is essentially an echo chamber needs to walk the plank.
Don't worry Dee, I think the Buzz ride photo titles are just random so you probably did have the high score.
I think I read somewhere that you like Wishes! In fact, I think that's the reason I finally made it- "This guy Rob said maybe I should check this out and see what all the fuss is"
Glad you know what I mean about the pirates queue- I LOVE the theming in there, but this was pure torture listening to the clanging iron chains. Disney has done some awesome decorations with Styrofoam. Just sayin'!
I swear that was my Buzz score!!!
"Before I proceed, I am going to have to ask a couple of you to step away from the trip report until the next update. Im about to do a little bit of Disney blaspheming. Brenda, Rob, perhaps a couple of others: you may not want to see this dark side of my family. Im going to blame it on the rain."
Don't worry Dee, you already committed blasphemy when you admitted to never seeing Wishes.
BAHAHAHAHA!!!
That comment cracked me up!
In my defense, in all of our past trips, we have been up at 0-dark early (I wake up between 4:30 and 5 EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE YEAR, vacation or not). We are at the parks by 8 am and we hit them pretty hard. By 9 at night the family has been wiped out!
Heck, I'm not even sure that we had been in MK in the dark until our 2011 trip.
And as long as we are making confessions... The folks over on the Beach & Yacht Club FAQ are mortified that I have never had a lunch/dinner or ice cream at Beaches & Cream. That may or may not get corrected on my one-day solo trip.
