A Hop, NO Skip, and Many Mishaps to a Disney Dream!

In 2007 I bought a pull over sweatshirt for the same reason. But I didn't really like it. The one I liked best was HUGE, but I didn't want to buy one I didn't like ,so I got it. But the next day I bought the hoodie with the year on it that I liked better. LOL! And my obsession began then.

Hoodies are the best though :) My obsession is anything disney :rotfl:

Great update btw
I think I did get a pic of the castle in every colour last year.. Waiting for the fireworks I just sat on the ground going snap snap snap :)
 
Great pics, Jen!
I am so glad you stayed and watched the MSEP! I think it is what you experienced first, that's the parade you love more.
We are MSEP lovers - I do not care for Spectro, would not wait for it, maybe watch if we "walked into it". :laughing:
But you will see me standing or sitting at the curb for an hour for a good glimps of the MSEP!
Thank god we all have different tastes! :goodvibes

I'm the same way. Grew up watching MSEP at DLR and Love it!! It's my happy music. :) You have the Best pictures!
 
Beautiful pictures once again! I like the MSEP, but I like the music for Spectro much better. I hope they bring it back.

When we did the Wishes dessert party I sat there and tried to get a picture of castle everytime it changed colors too.
 
I did see Harry Potter yesterday and I loved it. I highly recommend it, and if you are a fan, you will probably shed a lot of tears while watching it!

Yes, it's definitely a 2 hankie movie! We saw it last night and it was stupendous! :wizard:

You will laugh, you will cry, and if you didn't read the books, you will mostly understand!

DH couldn't figure out why i was crying when a certain someone (not Harry) was dying, but then he understood! (Sorry, I don't want to spoil it for everyone)

The castle is kind of like that Aqua Duck sign....you just can't have too many pictures of it.:rotfl:

I hear that from a lot of people. I just can't love the music myself...but I must admit it dod grow on me a bit after watching the parade.

I just LOVE Spectro. I keep looking for a CD wioth the music on it, and I can never find one...or one that doesn't cost $50.

It was so good. I am so sad it's all over though. I think I'm gonna read the books over again. I actually listen to them on tape/CD in my car, and the guy who reads them is AWESOME!
 
Claire was really enjoying the parade and very glad we had stopped to see it again. She realized she had only seen a small portion before.

We were really happy with the spot we had. No crowds at all and a great view of everything.

More pictures to come! I figured since this may be the only time I ever saw this parade, I should take a LOT. Little did I know that I would be back again in Aug of this year.
 
TI just LOVE Spectro. I keep looking for a CD wioth the music on it, and I can never find one...or one that doesn't cost $50

I have it, I bought it as part of a boxed set that included Wishes, Illuminations, FoTLK and another one that is just different parade music. I think it was around $50 for the set, but I LOVE it!

I'm so jealous!

The first Disney parade that I remember going to (and this is remember because I was there in the early 70's but don't remember if or what the parade was) was MSEP. I first saw MSEP in 1984. That said... I :love: Spectro Magic. The music to Spectro is like my happy song! Its one tune that if I hear it, it just takes me back and brings so many memories and excitement. I really miss it.. at least the music. I put 4 parks 1 World on my Wish list on Amazon, but I have yet to get it. I don't even know if that is on there, but I hope so.:cloud9:
 
Your parade pics are wonderful! That is something I think is really hard to photograph. The light are moving and everything else is dark... just hard to get it right, but you did! I'm so glad you convinced Claire to go. I have looked at videos of it on youtube also and I too think the music is very bad. I love the floats though. I actually think the floats are better than Spectro but the music is definitely worse!
 
How great that you were able to find a good spot to watch the parade! I don't like the Main Street Electrical Parade as much as I do SpectroMagic but it's a Disney parade and I'll take it.:laughing:
 
Great pictures! Is the one of the firefly the Firefly from Princess & the frog? It was so cute!
 
If you read my last TR, you will know I am NOT a fan of the cotton candy puff ball on top of the head. In the brochure they show it more spiky, which I like much better, but none of the FGIT will do it that way. So even though my DD is now a beautiful princess I cringe at the puff ball on top.

As beautiful as she was, I'd have to agree w/ ya there.

Glad I didn't miss many updates while at sea ;)
 
Enjoying your MSEP pics! That parade has a special place in my Disney heart. I can see where you would like Spectro's music better since it's so epic! But I've been listening to MSEP music since I was born, so I like it better ;) Seeing Elliot from Pete's Dragon is my fave part of the parade!

Can't wait to see more pics :banana:
 
Nice pictures! I took many as well. Thank GOD for digital! You can take a bunch and just delete what you don't want! ..............or in my case just delete the whole bunch:confused3
 
If anyone has any pictures to print, right now Snapfish is have 200 prints for $2 plus shipping..Code ....JULY200PRNTS. Just thought I would pass that along.

I saw one in the 70's, but it was a daytime one and I honestly don't remember a thing about it. I have seen the 3 pictures my Mom took and they were awful. LOL! I think my Mom took about 10 pictures of the whole day.:laughing:

Thanks. I still have so many more to post. I am just not into editing tonight. Skip is grumpy from the heat, and we just had our 2 hired hands quit (working one more week)and and feel so blah and depressed because I know he wil lbe extra grouchy the next week or so with the heat and worrying about what to do.
Beleive it or not, the music does sort of grow on you while you are watching it. But I still wouldn't consider it good. LOL!

The floats were nice, I must admit, but if they played Spectros music with it, it would be better for me. :laughing:

Great pictures! Is the one of the firefly the Firefly from Princess & the frog? It was so cute!

I "think" it was Tinkerbell, but I could be totally wrong.

As beautiful as she was, I'd have to agree w/ ya there.

Glad I didn't miss many updates while at sea ;)

Yay! You're back. How was it? I was just thinking of you today and wondered if you were back yet.

I am not going nearly as fast as I wanted to with the updates.

Yeah, puff ball is just not what I picture as "pretty", but I let Claire pick, afterall, she is the one who has to wear it.

It seems like most people love one or the other so much more. I did like the floats. It was neat to see new ones. I do beleive I have the dragon coming up in the next post or 2.

:lmao: Did you get any recovered? I sure hope so. I am so behind on Dis today, so I haven't checked. I do love digital. I think I have printed about or close 1000 pictures of this trip so far....and thats less than half of what I have edited. Of course I must admit some were doubles for my Mom. I am making a scrapbook for her. But so far I have 1 picture actually put in it. :confused3

she may have had to WEAR it, but YOU had to LOOK at it! :laughing: eh...no matter. It's all good as long as I'm not wearing it OR putting it in :thumbsup2

Cruise was FABULOUS!! WAY better than Carnival!!! Will get workin on trip report once I upload pix. Hate to use photobucket, but no other choice :headache: Going to take a long time... 7-8 hrs of video and over 1500 pix :rolleyes:

:rotfl2: true!
At least it was blonde this time around. Last trip she had PINK! :rolleyes1

Glad to hear it was good. I have heard good things about RCCL. I think that would be my next option after DCL to try. I have done NCL, and liked it, but it's been awhile, though I would say no to trip on the New Epic ship they have!
Take your time. As you can see I am not breaking any speed limits with this TR. :headache:

Thanks!, I've been trying to get some pics printed, but money's tight during summer until I get back to work. This helps! Plus, a bonus, I got 20 free for signing up!:woohoo:

I won't know until later today. I'm dropping off the sd card around 4pm. I'm trying not to think about it. I'm thinking the worst, so if I get my photos back I'll be happy.
