I am never riding Space Mountain again! A Marathon Weekend TR Complete

[BlvInMagic]

We love the LWTL ... so fun and educational. Zero wait time is the way to go; on our recent trip last month (Spring Break) we waited 35 min for this "ride." But totally worth it

I don't think I've ever waited more than 10-15 minutes for that ride but I can see it being 35 during spring break.

Even just looking at pics of LWTL makes me happy lol and I just get that relaxed "I'm on vacation" feeling on that ride. The best.

Hi Ryan, I'm just getting caught up with your TR, but I just wanted to say congratulations on completing the 1/2 marathon. Great accomplishment. I hope someday I can commit the time to training and participating in a runDisney event. Thanks for the inspiration!

Yep, that's why I ride it every trip.

I love your character stop pictures! Did Sydnee accept Mickey's proposal?

When we met Baymax, they made us take off our medals and bags. I know that when they first started having Baymax meet & greets they had trouble keeping him inflated, but still ... I think they're being a little overcautious.

I've never gotten good pictures of Nemo & Friends. I've given up on trying ... it's one of those rides that I just can't figure out how to make it work. I really love watching the dolphins ... I don't do it very often, but it's always nice to watch them for a little while.

I haven't done Living with the Land in many many years ... I don't know why. It definitely looks like something very interesting and relaxing, I just never make time for it. Your pictures look great!

I can't believe Marathon Weekend registration is next week ... it seems too soon! I know you were planning to do the marathon ... is that still the plan or are you going for Goofy? (We're probably sitting this one out, which is sad because I loved marathon weekend, but we're looking at maybe doing Princess & Tink next year for the pink coast to coast, and we can't do marathon weekend and princess, they're too close together)

I don't think Sydnee gave him an answer!

Yeah they didn't make me take off my medal but they did with the pin. Oh well whatever I guess.

Yeah I only took a few in Nemo because they didn't come out well.

I love Living with the Land its such a peaceful ride.

I know I can't believe registration is next week either. I am thinking Goofy or Dopey because I really don't want to pass up the 20th anniversary of the half but I also want to do the full. I don't know I have a week to decide. I hope you get to do Coast to Coast that would be awesome! I really want to do that some day but I don't know if that will happen with going into College.

The Baymax meet and greet looks like a lot of fun! It's just him and no Hiro? When we were down for Wine and Dine last year, I saw someone dressed up as the computer programmer lady from Spaceship Earth. I can't remember if it was for the 5k or half, but it was a great costume.

Yeah Hiro doesn't meet anymore. Thats an awesome costume!

I am going off of my Check Ins on Swarm the Check in app.

I really like using swam too and looking back at my past check ins sometimes too.

This was the first time I had to do this because I didn't take notes. It's worked out so far.m

cool I've never used it at a Disney Park yet but I follow a lot of poel that do. The furthest I've used it from home so far has been at a resort in Mexico for my brothers wedding.

I usually always check in at WDW but not as much when I'm at places near my house.

I'm loving your TR! And congrats on being a moderator--how awesome is that?
So I noticed that you are looking forward to registration next Tuesday. Which races are you going to run?

Thanks!

I'm looking at either Goofy or Dopey. I can't wait!

Well, good luck during the registration! I'm still trying to decide too.

Los Tres Amigos!

I figured I would get an update in now since I won't be able to get one in tomorrow and probably the rest of the weekend due to a busy schedule. You'll also notice in the the title my use of Spanish, I took Spanish for 6 years (I took a break from it my senior year) and I still feel like I can't speak or understand it half the time.

After enjoying the ride around the land we ventured off to the wonderful World Showcase. We really didn't make many stops but I knew I wanted to stop in Mexico to check out the new animatronics put in.



And in we went! I really like the Mexican pavilion between the shops inside, the art, and the ride, I think its one of the best pavilions.





Hello people eating!











Big kudos to Disney for actually surprising guests and placing these animatronics in here. For those that don't know these animatronics were from the Mickey Mouse Revue and were saved in storage after that show closed and after they were at Tokyo Disneyland. Animatronics are way better than screens.











Adios!



After the ride we headed out to our next journey which actually was trying to find a bathroom. The bathrooms were closed in Norway so we had to keep going. That brought us to Germany where my favorite train set up is. How can you not love this train set. I was a big train kid when I was little.













After waiting for the ladies to come out of the bathroom we went on our way towards France the place we would be dining that evening.

Up Next: Hey look at that!

I like stopping at the garden railway oo. Interestingly it was put in one year for the flower an Garden festival and just left a few years ago Disney even put out a trains eye video of it on the youtube channel.
