Glad you are all caught up now.

Me too..any trips planned for this year?

No trips to a Disney park. I was thisclose to booking a trip to DL Paris though! I will be in Spain for 6 weeks (well, in Paris, as I fly into Paris) walking the Camino de Santiago, and I was thinking about extending my time and visiting DLP and Paris as well. I nixed that because of the financial side of things. So no Disney. Although I'm hoping to get to the Disney Store in Madrid before I fly home! I will need a little fix, I would think!

Aug 28, 2015

I have no receipts and no pictures of breakfast, so I have no clue what I ate! (Although I think I got waffles because we had lots of meals left over). Sorry about that. But we were off to DHS for the morning and we were hoping to spend the afternoon, or at least part of it around the Boardwalk and maybe some Epcot area resorts.

My pretty morning view. I tell you, I could stay there year round!

IMG_8919 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

We got to DHS before park opening.

IMG_8920 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

And we were let in right on time. I took a picture of Bo because I'd been reading some TRs where people were having fun taking pictures with him.

IMG_8921 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I still think it will take more getting used to without the hat.

IMG_8922 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I liked the CMs lining up to say good morning and give high fives.

IMG_8923 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_8924 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

15 minutes? Of course I'm in!

What's up with that? It looks like Blanche beat my score again? Seriously... I'm so competitive, how did that happen?

IMG_8933 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

And over 500,000? How does that happen? I even read up on tips to try to beat Blanche and I can't get higher than 150,000. (I think! I would need to go through all my pictures.)

IMG_8937 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_8938 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I was beyond excited when I saw this sign:

IMG_8939 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

It's too bad I couldn't get better shots of what was on the display.

We were going to see the Muppets!

 

[EvilQueenT]

That's funny about the people standing. I always find fireworks time is when people are most hostile. Must be because they are tired from a long day in the parks. Anyways great pictures as always!

We avoid the hub area like the plague because of how mean, rude, and scary people can get. Doubly hate it when you do something nice like let someone in and they're rude afterwards.

 

[disneyAndi14]

So glad to see you back updating your trip. We are staying two nights at Universal in October at the Royal Pacific Resort so we can get EP! I can't wait to see HP again and check out the skull island from King Kong. How were the crowds in late August at Disney? Pictures are great.

 

[EvilQueenT]

Your pics are fantastic. You really made us feel like we were right there with you...except I'm in the a/c and my feet aren't killing me lol.

Oh EP would be lovely! Maybe one day! I hope you have a wonderful time there! I remember thinking the crowds were horrible every time I went into the locker areas. Otherwise it didn't feel too bad to me, but then again, I didn't do a whole lot.

Your pics are fantastic. You really made us feel like we were right there with you...except I'm in the a/c and my feet aren't killing me lol.

Thanks. And thanks for the laugh! Some of my favorite pictures are the ones that make me feel like I'm there, sometimes it's just a "street" view kind of thing where it brings you back to walking.

ugh...I forgot to look for Mr. Gold's Shop in Feb. Now it will probably be a year or 2 before I can look. So mad at myself.

I keep thinking that the Streets of America are closing. I don't know why! It was cool, but I only spent a minute. I'll be back and I'll take a good long look! I think I need to do a solo trip to really appreciate things. Blanche is great, but I would have loved to keep looking at that. She doesn't watch OuaT, so she had no clue what I was talking about!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Back outside, I noticed the snowman. I wondered where he'd gone!

IMG_8988 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Princess had posed with him on her first trip. (I have all my siblings Disney trip pictures saved on my hard drive. It's funny, because their kids look at them more on my computer than their own. They'll ask me to show them their trip pictures...)



Nope, not the same guy, now that I've actually looked for the picture! But I'll keep it there because it is funny about the kids, and that's such a cute picture of the Princess! \

I love the little details...

I love the Muppets area... are you a man or a muppet?

IMG_8994 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I always loved Gonzo. I can't tell you why. I don't remember, I just remember saying he was my favourite. Wow, at one point I could pick a fave!

Oh gosh you are right. I think Star Wars land is going there.

Blah. LOL

 

[DisneyFreak06]

After walking out of Star Tours, we (well, I probably) noticed a Frozen processional of some sort was passing by. So I stopped and took pictures! I was excited as I hadn't seen it really well the year before, and our trip was almost over, so this was basically my last chance.

IMG_9020 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_9022 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Do you think he noticed me taking his picture?

These are the guys that lost poor Kristoff. I mean, we need a movie about that! How Kristoff grew up on his own, well, with the Trolls I guess.

After the little parade we were off to ride Tower of Terror.

We saw some people dressed quite dapperly so we slowed down and I took some paparazzi type shots.

I don't even seem to have the picture or the video to share so I will just share another picture/video that I don't think I shared yet. It will come later in the post as I forgot to upload them! Oops.

Creepy doll!

IMG_9127 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

And then suddenly it was nice and pretty outside again, and not creepy.

We were heading somewhere new for lunch, which involved heading out of the park.

IMG_9142 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_9143 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

And taking a boat.

IMG_9154 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_9156 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

We wandered around the Boardwalk area, looking for food. And stopping at the restrooms near the pool... which is why I got this shot.

IMG_9157 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I should have gotten a slice of pizza for my meal. I didn't overly enjoy my sandwich. But Blanche didn't want pizza, so we kept walking. And I didn't mind looking for something else! I just probably would have enjoyed it more.

IMG_9160 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_9162 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

And soon we were heading back out.

IMG_9175 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

We decided to spend some time in Epcot.

IMG_9178 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

It was really weird as we'd never, ever entered by International Gateway before. We'd left Epcot that way, but we'd never entered. Hey, that's another first. I guess I forgot to keep track!

IMG_9188 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_9189 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I had eaten in here a few times. I loved their Potato and Leek soup, and their warm apple crumble. I don't think either is on their menu anymore. oooh, just checked and they may have the soup.

IMG_9190 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Sorry for the delay! I leave in less than 2 weeks, so I'll have to get a move on in order to finish this TR before I head to France/Spain! Even as excited as I am about that trip, every time I see a Disney picture, I get sad that I don't have a trip planned.

IMG_9193 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_9194 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_9196 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

It seems fitting to be in France in my TR. LOL

IMG_9197 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

We stopped to watch a bit of entertainment. It was extremely hot. I remember Blanche trying to find some shade and fanning herself. It was an extremely hot week we were there! Ok, maybe it wasn't any hotter than usually, we were just more sensitive to it than usually. I did (sorry) drip more than usual!
