Still hanging around Fantasyland

After Pooh, I headed straight for Snow White. Remember that one? Snow White's Scary Adventure? It still existed in 2009.

IMG_7781 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7782 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Of course, I snap tons of pictures while in line. Especially solo, it helps pass the (sometimes short) wait!


IMG_7783 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7784 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

You know, I've never been on Dumbo at Walt Disney World!


IMG_7785 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7787 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Hee hee hee! It's Regina!

IMG_7792 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I like this one... you've got a little princess and some boys trying to get at the sword!

After Snow White, I browsed the shop, snapped some more pictures of the Castle, and browsed the shops around the Castle. I can't remember if I already mentioned that I'd never been much of a shopper and I hadn't bought much on my previous trips. I think I did, so sorry if I did! Hahaha. I shopped a lot in July and I told myself I wouldn't be shopping much since it had only been a month. We'll see if I stuck to that one!


I started taking pictures of things I liked so that I could remember and go back for those that I still wanted, and then hopefully didn't buy as much.

This design was on mugs and t-shirts.


IMG_7815 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7816 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

And bags from the look of this one!


IMG_7817 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I'm probably quite close to my limit in pictures so I'll stop here. I need to get ready for my friends' vow renewal anyway, so I better go! Have a good weekend everyone!
​

 

[DisneyFreak06]

After Snow White, I wandered around taking a few pictures of the "backside" of the castle and the shops around the area.


IMG_7818 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I would love to go up those stairs and go in that door!


IMG_7819 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7820 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_7823 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7824 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Oh no! A giant!!!


IMG_7825 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I found him! Someone call the Prince, or Sir Mickey or at least someone to protect us!!!


IMG_7827 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Construction area. I can't remember what was happening.


IMG_7828 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Am I really going to Peter Pan now?


IMG_7829 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7830 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Looks like it.


IMG_7831 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Oooh lookie! I got a little red tag thing. Disney asked me to help! Hahahaha


IMG_7832 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

It was either 9:49 or 10:49 at that point. We'll see how long the wait is.

Look... this isn't here anymore either.


IMG_7835 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7836 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7837 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

No Peter Pan pictures, because it's really hard to do! I am still working on it though!

At 11:03/10:03, I got in line for:


IMG_7840 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

That was a quick wait for Peter Pan!

I do have pictures of It's a Small World, but I'll save that for another day. Off to pack up my classroom. Two more days with students, but I have to move classrooms and move into a mobile for next year, so I have extra packing/cleaning to do. Yucky. Have a great weekend.

​

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Next up: It's a Small world! My first full day at Disney, and I need to ride IASW. Hee hee hee


IMG_7840 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7844 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7845 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I dream of going to Scotland and Ireland one day (and many other places, so I take pictures of the "children" from there.)

IMG_7858 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7859 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I don't mind IASW, I need to ride it at least once a trip. I do prefer DL's version to WDW though, with the little "hidden" characters in it.

[DisneyFreak06]

Where to next? Hmmm.... shall I wait for Haunted Mansion? I think so!


IMG_7861 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_7869 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7870 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Now I take a ton more pictures on HM. This surprised me!

I guess it's warm enough to go on Splash. I had been on it in 2006, but I found it too chilly in 2007 when we were there. It was the only ride my nephew did on his own. So I really wanted to ride it.


IMG_7883 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7884 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I browsed a shop on my way in.


IMG_7886 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7891 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr]


IMG_7892 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

You can see me holding on to my camera bag hoping it doesn't get wet...


DSC02006 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

​

 

[DisneyFreak06]

After Splash, I browsed the shops. I did end up buying the ride vehicles for one of my nephews. I wonder if he still has them?


DSC02009 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


DSC02010 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I think it said a 20 minute wait for Big Thunder Mountain. I'm game! In line I went, and got a red card again.


DSC02011 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I left my big camera in my bag and played with my little one while waiting.


DSC02013 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


DSC02014 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

GET DOWN!


DSC02015 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Hmmm.... seems like I've been waiting longer than 20 minutes.


DSC02019 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Sure looks crowded.


DSC02022 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Taking pictures of Disney details while passing time.

DSC02043 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

FINALLY!!!


DSC02047 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

One hour later.

There are tons more pictures of the queue on flickr if You want to see them. I decided to pick and choose in order to put it all into one post. I might be able to fit a few more, but now I can't remember which ones I've got. Oh well.
​

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Off to Pirates next. Another one where I can't believe I didn't take any pictures! I guess I wasn't so sure of myself at this point... I've learned a lot since then AND upgraded my camera equipment.

Look what I decided to try!


DSC02075 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

There's a hole in the middle, dear Liza, dear Liza... hee hee hee

Don't hate me, but I didn't really like it. I have not bought one since.


IMG_7893 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7894 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7895 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I decided to head out of the park for a bit. Well, it ended up being the day, but I was taking a break.


DSC02077 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7897 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


DSC02078 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7898 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Which one is the statue?


IMG_7900 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


DSC02079 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

One that I did end up buying later on.


DSC02080 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I bought the shirt on the right for one of my best friends who is a firefighter.


DSC02086 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Hop to my flickr account to see lots more pictures of the merchandise and details in the fire hall.

[DisneyFreak06]

Off to the bus stop.

No sharing buses this day.


IMG_7903 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7904 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7907 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7919 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Mama duck stayed on the sidewalk.


IMG_7921 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


IMG_7922 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

At All Star Music, I took a little break then went to DTD for some shopping. I don't think I shopped first, just browsed, as I was on my way to church, so I didn't want to bring shopping bags with me!


DSC02112 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

That's a big ball.


DSC02113 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I got some supper! I love Earl of Sandwich... and I LOVE those brownies...


DSC02116 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Ham and Swiss!


DSC02118 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I got into my taxi and headed for mass.


DSC02119 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


DSC02120 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I'm sure I shopped at DTD on my way back, but I have no pictures to prove it.

[DisneyFreak06]

Well, 2 years since my last post and I'm 6 days away from another Disney trip, so what do I do? Add to my TR from 6 years ago to pass some time! (Well, when I'm not in my temporary classroom so at least that will be ready when I come home a few days before I go back to school - and I say temporary because I was in a mobile the last 2 years and they are building 2 new classrooms this year for us!)

My breakfast. This was back when you could get 2 drinks on the QSDP if you used a meal for breakfast. So I always got water for later on.

DSC02122 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I remember thinking I wouldn't get it again. The biscuit was good, and the French toast. The eggs were probably okay, but I'm not a huge sausage fan (I will eat them with apple sauce) and I don't really eat hash browns/breakfast potatoes either. I really don't know why I got that!

I talked with a lovely couple in line who took my picture. I do remember they were lovely. They had adopted some children and were foster parents as well. Beautiful people. The lady took a few pictures for me.

DSC02124 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

DSC02125 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Soarin' was first up and we got stopped here.

DSC02126 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

DSC02127 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

DSC02129 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Yes, I passed the time taking pictures and talking to people I'm sure.

DSC02130 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

And some more CMs came out to greet us.

DSC02131 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

This fella was nice and chatty.

DSC02132 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

From the looks of this picture I went towards Mission Space next.

DSC02139 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_7923 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_7924 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Mandatory monorail shot. (Has anyone seen the "literal" trailers on youtube? I LOVE the one for Harry Potter and the Dealthy Hallows one and two, "introductory helicopter nature shot" is what I thought of when I typed mandatory monorail shot.)

IMG_7926 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_7927 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

And then I went into MouseGear and took tons of pictures. I had spent likely almost $1500 a month earlier (Thanks Blanche and Dorothy- only I can't remember your Dis names!) and was trying NOT to spend the same amount again... but I did.

What is with me taking pictures outside the store/rides AFTER I go inside?

I really love this, and it's fun to look at products that may or may not be for sale anymore!

[DisneyFreak06]

It was such a beautiful day! You can totally see how nice it was.

IMG_7956 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_7957 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I waited for a good splash:

IMG_7963 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_7964 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_7965 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I really love this queue.

IMG_7966 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_7967 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_7969 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I did not take any pictures on the ride... hmmm, now I need to go back and look if I have done that since!

I loved walking around the area taking pictures and looking at all the fish.

IMG_7976 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_8005 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_8006 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_8009 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I loved the stingrays.

IMG_8026 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

And then back outside after laughing like crazy at Turtle Talk with Crush! I was totally amazed with the technology and what they could do. I still love it but I think I have only seen it once more. I`ll have to be sure to go back. (Eugh, I can`t fix my accents and things... my usual fix isn`t working) When I want the slash it gives me my french accent and it shows that I`m on US when I click on the keyboard...)

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Back outside I snapped a few pretty pictures. I was heading somewhere new.

IMG_8032 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_8033 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_8034 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Yep, Imagination with Figment.

IMG_8039 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

After browsing the dump shop, I was heading to WS for my first ever table service meal. Yes, I'd done a few buffets/character meals, but this was to be my first TS.

IMG_8050 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_8052 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_8057 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I walked by Canada.

IMG_8058 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

And then slowed in the UK.

IMG_8059 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

The UK is one of my top places I want to visit. Never been yet, but I'll get there one day.

IMG_8064 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

And I found my favorite book series.

IMG_8067 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_8071 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_8073 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I had never even walked into a building in WS before then, unless it was a ride. I was becoming a more mature Disney guest! Buahahaha I was learning that there was more to Disney than just rides. Imagine that!
