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

[rteetz]

What a nice surprise!

Yes it was!

Heigh Ho Heigh Ho its off to Be Our Guest we go!

After the surprise we headed back to the Magic Kingdom taking the Poly bus again. Before we left though we did stop in the Jostens center once more because my parents wanted to look around. I took some photos of the medals. I wish I was running Star Wars those medals look awesome!





Anyways we made it to the Polynesian and hopped on the monorail over to the Magic Kingdom.





On our way to Frontierland was passed the new Skipper Canteen. I hope to eat here on an upcoming trip!



First order of business was Splash mountain! It closed later in the week for a refurb so we had to get it in now. My parents did not have this FP and sat out. Judy also ended up sitting out because she didn't want to get wet. So it was my sisters, grandma, and I ready to take the plunge.













And of course we got wet but that is just part of the fun!

Our next FP+ was for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and my parents did manage to get that one with us so we headed towards Fantasyland. Before we got there though my grandma stopped to get something to drink and the man working saw her medal and shirt and was asking her about it. The nice CM ended up giving her a Mickey Bar for free!



















Continued in next post...

After our date with the dwarfs we went to visit Ariel under the sea. I believe it was around a 20 minute wait which was the probably the longest I have waited for this attraction.



I kept playing with my camera during the ride trying to get good pictures but I never got it completely figured out.













Once Ariel got her happy ending we headed to a favorite of mine. Dumbo! I am sure some people think I am crazy for loving Dumbo but I do.

I'm not sure how I got behind on your report, but I'm all caught up now. Great job on the 5K with your sis. Wonderful time especially considering all the stops you made for characters. I love your sister's tutu. She looks adorable and what a great surprise for your parents to show up. FUN!!!

Yes it was a good surprise and only added to the trip.

Splash Mountain, Seven Dwarfs, Under the Sea, and Dumbo ... that's definitely a fun afternoon!

You got some good pictures from Under the Sea ... that's definitely a hard one to find the right camera settings.

I'm totally with you on loving Dumbo ... it may not be some fancy technological innovation, but it's classic Disney and it's always a fun experience. Plus, you get some pretty amazing views of the park.

It was a fun afternoon and it's not even over yet!

Yeah I ended up giving up and going to video after that.

Dumbo is a must do for me, I would even ride if I was on a solo trip.

This is so cool! I didn't realize the races were so expensive though! I thought about doing one in DLR but 350 bucks for the Dumbo Double Dare? Yikes!

Expensive but worth it in my opinion. They raised the prices for the dumbo double dare this year. I'm thinking about going dopey next year and that's even more expensive.

I rode the front row of Splash Mountain for the first time a few weeks ago. It was really fun.
I agree with you on Dumbo, the colors and views are great.

Thanks! She did great and I had really power to those points in order to get pictures.

It was a nice surprise.

Yes dumbo is great and yes I felt like 20 minutes was longer than usual.

I'm glad you were able to get a ride on Splash. I like the pictures that your family took of you on the ride and your ride photo is hilarious- the screams from your family and the expressions on the guys who rode with you.

That's amazing that your parents were able to get Mine Train at the same time. Although I was able to get a single for the ride a week out, so it can happen.

I love your pictures on Little Mermaid. Pretty impressive. It is really tough to take decent pictures in there.

I have only been on Dumbo once, back in June, solo.

What an amazing afternoon and you have an incredible dinner coming up.

AWESOME!

I think we got some great ride photos this trip and that was one of them.

I am not sure when they booked their FP+ but it was less than 60 days out I believe.

Dumbo is great I don't miss it.

Yes the night continues to get better as it goes on.
