I Can! I Can Stink at 9am! A January TR - 3/8 New TR Link!

Honestly, if the Ellen ride wasn't so loooooooooong I would probably ride it more. But it's just so looooooooooooong. Plus animatronic Ellen scares me more than all the dolls in Small World.

Living with the Land though, I'm all in for that. I swear every time I ride (which doesn't seem to be every trip) I always think "Yeah it's ok" and then I ride and remember how much I actually like it.

Love this. Clearly no characters in the area. Present company excluded of course.

Leshaface said:
DS created a bomb.

Clearly there is something that affects him about this ride. For some it's Mexican food, for him it's Living with the Land. No biggie.

Journey into Imagination with Figment. Can’t you tell from the queue pic?

To be honest, not really. There's actually people in your photo.

Leshaface said:
Of course, I had an ulterior motive by coming this way )

Hmmmm... Colour me intrigued. :scratchin

It’s Living with the Land, Epcot’s 3rd worst ride next to Ellen and Figment

Aw, I really enjoy Living with the Land. But a solid just "enjoy" - not love like BTMRR or Soarin' but not dread like Stitch. Too funny that DS has diaper issues in line! Maybe he finds the queue really relaxing? :confused3

Leshaface said:
Once we exited the ride, we hung around the play area, ImageWorks, to let DS run around a bit

The play areas are so great - we spent so much time in all of the playgrounds and dump areas. The boys love running around and moving outside of the stroller.

Leshaface said:
I do love the convenience that comes along with FP+. Being able to switch times if needed.

Yes! I loved being able to switch things around quickly on my phone. Now just ready for them to make additional FP+ on the app!

Intrigued! :goodvibes

It's throwback ride day!!! How do you know you have a toddler? Because the land the figment in a row makes their day ; )

Seriously can't believe you had the same issue on The Land as before. Of course all that lettuce in the land does have a lot of fiber. Perhaps he is just channeling that early.

3rd worst attraction or not I do love the land, but largely for sentimental childhood reasons. I do not however have the same love for Figment, perhaps because they changed it along the way. But as you know from my trip reports, my daughter like your son loves this freaking thing - so ride it over and over we do. But a 20 minute wait, that is crazy. I think we've always just walked on.

Can't wait to see what you scratch off the list next...

KathyM2 · May 2, 2015

So much Epcot fun!!! I totally LOVE Figment and the Land...but yeah...my DH thinks both are lame...but his tends to be more of a hard core coaster theme park person...not somuch with Disney...where I on the other hand...well you get it obviously! Hilarious about the poop bombs both times on the Land!! What are the odds! But that is funny that your DS isn't much of a Figment fan...both my kids found that ride terrifying when they were little too!! But now they just love the Figment character(as do I). I agree though - there really shouldn't be a wait for those...those are the rides that you are supposed to be able to just walk on anytime!!!

Might sound odd but have DH go to a dentist and get checked for TMJ. A few years ago I had a facial muscle seize up due to it and it cut off my hearing in that ear. I had to get shots in my face to get the muscle to relax.

pmama · May 2, 2015

The picture with Minnie will be a classic no doubt. On the bright side, if you crop out DH and DS you have a fabulous picture of you and Minnie!

we smelled something gnarly. A big, massive blowout from yours truly. DH.

HAHA you got me! :rotfl:

OMG I love Living with the Land, I can't cope with all this hate it's getting!! :sad2:

Of course!

Leshaface said:

Gorgeous family! :love:

Leshaface said:
Once we got to the front, right as we were about to board the boat, I looked at DH and said, “It’s happening, we’re getting on!” And DH said, “Something smells.” No. No freaking way. But I smelled it too. DS created a bomb.

OF COURSE this happened!! LOL :rotfl:

Leshaface said:
Even though I’m still a noob to WDW (first trip in 2008), I’ve enjoyed this ride every time!

I haven't been on since I was a kid, and I don't remember it at all!! Maybe I need to revisit it this year :goodvibes

Leshaface said:
It was 12:15 by the time we exited the Living Seas and we were hungry! But we still had our Test Track FP at 1:30. Yes we could have stayed around and had lunch at Sunshine Seasons but DH had a great plan to eat lunch and drink wine over at Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar. So I hopped on the MDE app to see if we could switch around the TT FP and I was able to switch it to a later time and took a picture to remember

I do love the convenience that comes along with FP+. Being able to switch times if needed.

I'm glad to hear you're on board with FP+, I love it too! People say it takes the fun out of WDW, but if I can sleep in until 11am, roll to Hollywood Studios and use a fastpass at Toy Story Mania... SURELY that's better than getting there for rope drop and RUNNING!? :thumbsup2

Leshaface said:
I asked if we could walk around the Canada way instead of through Mexico because, "We never walk that way when we enter”. Of course, I had an ulterior motive by coming this way ) and it would give me the opportunity to knock one more thing off my To-Do List.

Excited to hear about this! :goodvibes

Pinkocto · May 4, 2015

I love both LWTL and Figment! Nemo I always think they could have done more with, but I still really like it.

Bummer about the smelly ride, but when you gotta go you gotta go!

Thanks for thinking about me and Baltimore. My work is close to it but thankfully hasn't been directly affected. A lot of our patients live smack dab in the middle of it, so the biggest thing is getting them home safely. I just got home from the wedding so I haven't heard how the weekend went.

I love Living with the Land! Why haters gotta hate on it?? Also I don't actually mind Ellen's ride! It has Bill Nigh the Science Guy in it! ::yes::

I was just thinking this update was severally lacking in boogie pickin' pics! Thanks for rectifying that! :lmao:

So close! Maybe he just wants to join in and make some all natural fertilizer for the plants! :banana:

Leshaface said:
Ah, memories. Also, what's up with pooping in the queue of this ride?

Hey maybe you should use that when its potty training time! Who needs to go "Living with the Land?" Works like a boat ride in Disney :thumbsup2

Leshaface said:
Journey into Imagination with Figment. Can’t you tell from the queue pic?

I used to love Figment as a kid but then they went and changed everything. Not cool bro. Not cool.
I do really like Eric Idle though. I'm going to say because of Monty Python to sound all cultured and mature...but I'm lying...its because of Casper!! :rolleyes1

Leshaface said:
I know I took a picture of DH in the next clamshell over playing Candy Crush. We’re totally getting a final count at the end of this TR of how many pics I got of him playing, BTW

Ending on a cliff hanger!! The suspense!! popcorn::

MEK · May 4, 2015

Love crossing things off the "to do" list! :thumbsup2

Those pictures in line for LWTL are so adorable, even the boogie picking picture! :rotfl2:

I totally lol'd over that! It's perfect.

So - yeah - ummmm - what's in that queue that makes Calvin want to poop? How ironic that it happened twice. :laughing:

Good thing his timing was just a little off so that everyone could enjoy the ride. It's such a classic.

Adorable video at Figment. Love it!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? Playing Candy Crush on Nemo? Blasphemy I tell you!!!!!!! :rotfl2:

You see, in 2012, when DS was 2 months old, we were waiting in line about to board when we smelled something gnarly. A big, massive blowout from yours truly. DH. JK, DS had gone all up his back and onesie, so we quickly got out of line and went to change him.

Ah, I know that feeling well. Good thing my wife and I had our kids years ago and finished with that phase of lif--

Oh. :headache:

Leshaface said:
It’s Living with the Land, Epcot’s 3rd worst ride next to Ellen and Figment (sorry @awdwfan). Side Note – This is based off of WDW population in general, not my personal opinion. Just thought I’d get that off my chest.

Well, of course it's not exactly right. Because we all know that Journey Into Imagination is far worse than any of the others. :rolleyes1

Maybe he knows the plants need fertilizer.

Leshaface said:
Yeah no, because no one ever waited the posted 20 minute wait to see the queue. Except we did. WTH? Why am I waiting 20 minutes for this?

That is a great, great question. Along with, how in the heck did the wait for this ever get all the way up to 20 minutes?? :confused3

Leshaface said:
Even though I’m still a noob to WDW (first trip in 2008), I’ve enjoyed this ride every time! DH on the other hand, hates it. The way he hates the stitch attraction over at MK. The way he hates the Dodgers. The way he hates Apples. The way he hates when I catch him rubbernecking You get the picture.

Your husband and I now have something in common. :thumbsup2

Leshaface said:
DS liked pointing out Nemo during the ride so that was cute and he definitely enjoyed it!

I love how they make the characters appear in the fish tank! So cool!

Not that you're really looking for an answer, but I believe the solution lies in the FastPass+ process - you can only pick one of your three pre-selected FP+ selections as a "E-Ticket" type ride, then the other two you have to choose from less popular attractions, thus load balancing, and also increasing the crowds on the rides that otherwise would not be that crowded. Plus, people can pick their FP+ selections what was it, 70 days out? So all the FP+ for the popular rides are gone for the people who book late, or only decide to go to a particular park last-minute (like local residents), so they go to the rides where there is a shorter wait time, thus driving up the wait times for those rides.

jedijill · May 6, 2015

I'm never going to think about the queue of LWTL the same way again!

Jill in CO

APears · May 6, 2015

Your TR has convinced me to go to the Tune In Lounge! Your DH and DM always seem to have a blast there!

LuvEeyore · May 6, 2015

Just caught up after 6 weeks away from the DIS. I loved your updates. Your son is so cute. Love the picture of the little man ready to go in his stroller.

franandaj · May 6, 2015

OK I'm behind but you know I had a rough weekend. It's taken me a few days to get back to reality. I can't believe that he pooped a second time. He must sense the need for fertilization on that ride and go bezerk! I'm glad you at least got to ride it finally.

That bites you had to actually wait for figment. It mmust be the FP+ demand making the waits longer. I really wish they wouldn't bring it to DL, but it is inevitable.

disneybarbie · May 7, 2015

Hi Lesha,

Sorry I've not commented for so long.. I somehow managed to sign out of the boards and then wasn't getting any thread updates!

All caught up now, really glad to hear DH is ok :cloud9:

, and it looked like a great evening at DHS! GFV look so perfect, jealous you stayed there! We got back from WDW and a cruise last week so my post-Disney blues are pretty high right now

NO.WAY. It happened again?! What are the odds?! Although you if you ask my sister (who has a 2 year old), she'd say "quite good" :laughing:

Love the selfies before Living with the Land... even if there may have been some stinkiness in the air

Awww, looks like DS had so much fun that morning! :cloud9:

emmysmommy · May 8, 2015

Hey Alicia! Gotta love that Calvin doesn't hold back his feelings towards those characters at the Character Spot. :laughing:

I think almost every parent can relate to that clinging for dear life moment right before a loud holler! Been there.

Just think of the memories you now have with Living With the Land - that poopy pants moment. :lmao:

I'm not a fan of Figment and I certainly won't wait more than 30 seconds for it. I do get amused seeing the upside down room. I will add another attraction to the worst list at Epcot.... Circle of Life. No seatbelts, no ride photos, no warnings to not dance on the ride, no fun! Actually, we finally did that attraction last year. It was a nice escape from the heat so it's not all bad.

heathsf · May 8, 2015

Wow could I be ANY more behind!?

I'm so glad you had such a great Vegas trip. You two certainly deserved it! That's amazing that DH did well enough in craps to cover the cost of the trip! And not to mention it's so much fun!

DH should definitely take you back to WDW to replace the travel mug! Wait... this gives me an idea... >

With the Gumdrop at DHS you finally ordered a drink I would choose! I think it's the first time in the history of all your TRs! LOL

The milkshake picture of DH and DM at Sci-Fi LOL

Great pics at the Osborne Lights! I love the family selfie with DS on DH's shoulders. And the tree at the entrance really is gorgeous at night!

What a perfect end to the night that you could see Wishes from your balcony! Ugh I'm dripping with jealousy. Amazing! And then you got to ride the monorail to Epcot the next morning. Even more jealous!!

Your photopass pictures really capture DS's terror at meeting the characters at Epcot. One day he will look back and laugh! He's still adorable though.

I'm going to guess that the reason you wanted to enter WS through Canada is so you can get a cronut.... Can't wait to find out if I'm right!

I Can! I Can Stink at 9am! A January TR - 3/8 New TR Link!
