UGH! Waiting for the bus at the end of the night sucks!!! If we don't rent a car for our trip what we usually do is take the bus in the morning and then grab a taxi for the ride home. Especially if the wait is really long. And it's not just deluxe. I've waited many times for over an hour for a bus to Pop and for a bus to POR. It's ridiculous. Though I will say that it seems a huge travesty that the deluxe resorts sometimes share buses. We were leaving the Contemporary after eating at Cali Grill and wanted to go back to POR (this was before my taxi rule) and we waited for a bus to DTD. (At this time, the monorail wasn't running so we couldn't take it to MK or the TTC, though looking back we should have gotten off at the Poly and walked to the TTC) The bus ended up being so packed that when we stopped at the GF and the Poly, only a few people could get on at each place. It was madness. I would have been so mad to have paid all that money to stay at a deluxe and to have to share a bus between THREE resorts.
Ahh getting a car sounds like a good plan, we always consider it, but because we're British we're a little timid about driving on the other side of the car AND the other side of the road... and using an automatic instead of a manual..although that's probably not an issue. It's quite daunting though!!! We'll be at AKL for three weeks this year so we'll probably use Uber a little more - from what I've heard buses out there can be bad! Yep yep tell me about it with the Poly and Grand sharing. And like I said in a previous post, getting to Animal Kingdom feels like a real effort because we got on at the Poly, the stopped at the Grand, then stopped at Blizzard, and then finally arrived at Animal Kingdom... Like why.
I guess it's a free service, if I start complaining about it Disney will start charging
I just don't want to wait an hour after a long day!!!
Ahh! Thanks for even more gorgeous resort photos!
DH thinks that the Grand looks like "a turn-of-the-century TB hospital" (his words, not mine!) but I love it.
Bahaha, but a nice TB hospital right..?!?
I am obsessed with your 1900 Park Fare photos; you guys are so lucky that you got to meet Lady Tremaine and her lovely daughters when they were in such top form. But you'd better get Prince Hymie on lockdown before Drizella starts sending out Save-the-Dates for their upcoming nuptials!!
The sisters were on point! We still laugh about Drizella, I even considered booking it again to go back and see them. But there's too much Disney food to try! Also I don't want to go out to Orlando as a couple, and return as a single... what a sad TR that would be. The year Drizella stole my man
How can you just drop a comment like this into your TR without elaborating?!
I would like to politely request that Jamie film a human vacuum tutorial ASAP.
Bahahah he's actually in the USA right now, but that means I have a couple of weeks to find a way to trick him into doing this
Stop being perfect.
JK.
NEVER STOP.
THANKS FRIEND I WONT
I think I may have posted before about us being there the same time as you guys! But I can't remember lol. Anyway I finally caught up on your trip report. I was having a little bit of Disney depression after my amazing trip and not being able to go back this year
Buuut we started planning a trip for 2017, so I finally brought myself back to the Dis! Sorry I ramble lol. I absolutely love your trip report, you crack me up. We did happen to be at a few of the same parks at the same time. ( those late magic kingdom and Hollywood studio days) and we were at the same Fantasmic!
I wondered if I would spot myself in any of your Photos
but no luck. Lol
That's so good that you've started planning a 2017 trip!!! That's the best way to cure the Disney blues. Well that and writing a TR.. You should write one! I'm so glad you're enjoying mine! And that's crazy that you were at the same Fantasmic!! What a small world
keep checking the background of my photos, how funny if you are in the back of any
Ordered an Uber at U-ner.
U-ner is my Grandma's name!!!
... Well Euna. (Yoo-na) Short for Euphemia, what a great name
Tell him he sort of looks like him... but only in one aspect.
Don't tell him what it is.
That would drive him crazy.. I LOVE IT.
How does one run a behind schedule? Is it based on tushy size? And if you don't like it, too bad, no buts allowed? Bummer.
I would guess that's the reason they run behind schedule at Biergarten
that's set up like benches right? I've never been I don't really know what I'm talking about
You did! I can provide a link to the TR if you like.
Thanks but I think I remember it
I'm actually interested in what's behind the horse, on the wall.
Is it a glockenspiel?
I believe that's an organ and it's called Big Bertha!!!!!
Who doesn't? Ask me what we had for dinner tonight.
What did you have for dinner tonight?
Katie never did eat that day. Unfortunately, they continued to do character meals and eventually she starved to death.
This is literally how my death will happen. I can't stand the thought of missing a character and having to wait an hour for them to come back, I just throw my food on the floor and hightail it back to the table.
So Prince = dull.
Boring. I'll take non-princedom any day.
Wait.
They have lots of money, don't they?
Can I change my answer?
You can have any man you want dear!
Whoa!
er... uh...
I apologize ... I profusely apologize for posting in between your updates.
(Gad, I hope that's enough... she'll kill me!)
But she's had more practice.
You'll get it.
Aww thanks Dad!
Really! Is it not that popular on your side of the pond? Or you just never got around to it?
Hmm I don't really know. I never have it so to me it seems unpopular.. But maybe there are plenty of places that sell it that I don't know about. It's definitely a thing, I just don't know how much of a thing it is here. What am I even saying.
Makes me want to go... just to see them.
You should! And film the interaction!
You can stop right there.
Nothing better than rice crispy treat.
BUT.... BREAD PUDDING?
Sure. Why not. That's why it's a buffet.
Heck. If you want to start with dessert and work your way backwards, you can!
Having sweet food before/with savoury food is against the law. The only exception in the entire world is F&W's Hawaiian pork slider.
I thought I knew. The inside of your arms are going to be lighter, but... they match your face.
Unless... Sunscreen on face and neck only? Or none on legs?
I use sunscreen everywhere! That does seem to be the inside of my arms showing, but there's really no reason why my legs should look so orange..
(I almost guarantee no one will, but if anyone notices this picture and knows what it's from, I will literally love and cherish you forever.)
I can do that if you really want it.
Really?! Well if it doesn't take long........ If it does don't worry about it!
YES! The theater is pretty and the hat was kinda tacky.. I think my only problem is that DHS doesn't really have an icon anymore... I feel like it needs it's icon right there when you walk in but I don't know what it should be / don't necessarily want it to cover the theater.
I didn't even know that was a thing!
Now I want to be the rebel spy!
Yes!
I swear on my life, the day I am chosen as the rebel spy I WILL buy this shirt (as long as they have my size). And I won't buy it a day sooner out of principle.
I've tried in 2012, 2014 and 2015.. I cannot believe they haven't chosen me yet!!!! The injustice!!!
What??? Unacceptable! I demand a full refund of the entire vacation!
HAHA. Well at least you believe me!!! This reminded me of a thread on the theme parks attractions and strategies board (where else...
) where a girl said "omg XXXXX happened at fantasmic!!" and everyone hounded her for lying about it and was really rude, it was brutal.. then she popped back up a couple of weeks later and was like "so yeah.. here's a video of the night and the event I was talking about..."
YOU GO GIRL.
I always forget you can drink alcohol in the parks.
I've only done it once (Grey Goose Slush)
What?!?!?
I don't have a clue.
If I tried that it would be "Oh no! He took out the pretzel cart!"
sounds like you have pretty similar cartwheel abilities!!
I end up going to places with characters where they can't speak and just gesture. I need to try it though because it looks delicious!
I'm a secret lurker on these boards, but I fell in love with your trip report from last year!
I understand there's at least twice as many people staying at Pop or AoA so they need those extra buses, but dang it we have places to be too!
(pkondz's favourite flavour)
