I wish they would have completed the mythical animal section. And wouldn't it have been cool to incorporate Harry Potter into it there, instead of over at Universal?Congrats on the new part of your surprise. That should make your trip soooo much nicer. Personally, I have never experienced it. Maybe someday.
Not sure how I missed yesterdays trivia. I knew about the different lands. In fact, look at the AK logo and you can see the dragon. I would have like to have the dragon land... my youngest ds has always been into them.
As for today.. my guess would be c. I guess that only because I would think it easier to build around the lake than to expand elsewhere. I am probably wrong though.
Haha well thanks for the support in my not being a mess! Airfare makes me mad all around (not just Disney). And I read an article yesterday that the government dropped some taxes on airfare because congress couldn't get their act together last week, saving about $25-$35 per ticket, but the airlines decided (collectively) to just jack up their prices by that amount "so the consumer ends up paying the same end amount". In what world does that make sense???I don't think you're a mess! That's a perfectly brilliant idea, in my opinion. You can have a day planned where to "start", then go from there!
Also, airfare has been going up week after week! We were planning a trip to the Florida Keys between Christmas and New Years with my DH's family, but the airfare is out of CONTROL!
Answer: A. In November, 1971, just one month after the Magic Kingdom opened, Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground opened near Disney's Contemporary Resort. Disney's Golf Resort Hotel opened in 1973. The Grand Floridian Beach Resort (later renamed Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa) opened in 1988, while Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge opened in 2001. (Strange, because the question doesn't mention AKL.)
Answer: C. There is a flag ceremony daily in Town Square. The American flag is taken down for the evening, while the band plays and white doves are released. Veterans can inquire about participating in the ceremony.
Answer: B Jungle Cruise. Yeah, the jokes on Jungle Cruise may seem a little corny, but you can't help but chuckle when your Guide takes you underneath an overhang and behind a waterfall and showes you the "back side of water." It's definitely the "punniest" ride in the Magic Kingdom! (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)
Tuesday, July 26 was the date the packages for Candlelight Processional became available. If you don't already know, the package provides lunch or dinner at a fixed price, guaranteed seating at a Candlelight Processional show, and some sort of priority viewing area for Illuminations. We had selected Biergarten for our restaurant. I am excited for the Oom-Pah band and Christmas music and decorations.
I guess the IPO had our request on file because I got an email that morning that they had us all booked. Wow! That's awesome how I don't have to even think about getting up early and waiting on hold and crossing my fingers they still have the restaurant and time that I want.
So, one more thing checked off the list. Yippee!!

Yeah, the jokes on Jungle Cruise may seem a little corny, but you can't help but chuckle when your Guide takes you underneath an overhang and behind a waterfall and showes you the "back side of water." It's definitely the "punniest" ride in the Magic Kingdom! (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)
on not only getting the CP package, but not having to hassle with it. That is awesome.
Oh c'mon Ann - take a guess on Code 101.I am not sure how I seem to miss your trivia questions...
But first..
Back to today's trivia...
I have no idea what a 101 is...
As for what pavilion one might find Pinocchio... I would get Germany.
Ok... so when you say it like that it makes me think medical attention (given what I have going on) but... I would think that would be 911

Answer: B. a broken down attraction. There are two codes that Cast Members use to describe the status of an attraction: "Code 101" means that the attraction has broken down, and "Code 102" means that the attraction is back up and running.
Answer: C. You may see Pinocchio in Italy with Gepetto. The two may even break into song (in Italian, of course). That makes sense because Le Avventure di Pinocchio ("The Adventures of Pinocchio") was written by Tuscan author Carlo Lorenzini (under the pen name "C. Collodi"), and was first published in Rome in 1881. Pinocchio means "pine eyes" in Italian.
Answer: C. You may remember the restaurant from the famous "spaghetti scene" in Lady and the Tramp. In the actual Magic Kingdom restaurant, guests can enjoy great pasta and seafood specialties. And be sure to look for the paw prints in the cement right outside the entrance!
Haley (my niece) and her mom (my sister Joann) have created an Ariel costume for Haley. I don't remember if I posted these pics before.
The top:
The tail:
And just this week, Haley has transformed her hair color to "fire truck red" (as she calls it). Here's a pic:
I haven't seen any pics of her in costume, but the hair looks great. Ahhh to be 16 again and be able to play with hair color and look great in costumes...
Today's trivia:
139 days until Disney. Which restaurant on Main Street, U.S.A. has the same name as a restaurant in one of Disney's animated features?
A The Crystal Palace
B Casey's Corner
C Tony's Town Square Restaurant
D The Plaza Diner
Yesterday's questions:
Answer: B. a broken down attraction. There are two codes that Cast Members use to describe the status of an attraction: "Code 101" means that the attraction has broken down, and "Code 102" means that the attraction is back up and running.
(Sorry, I couldn't find a picture of this one. Imagine that!)
Answer: C. You may see Pinocchio in Italy with Gepetto. The two may even break into song (in Italian, of course). That makes sense because Le Avventure di Pinocchio ("The Adventures of Pinocchio") was written by Tuscan author Carlo Lorenzini (under the pen name "C. Collodi"), and was first published in Rome in 1881. Pinocchio means "pine eyes" in Italian.
I guess it isn't just a young girls dream. 
Yeah, I love my niece and think she's sooo cute! We should have reached out to you to help with the color, since you're right around the corner!
I know. Haley makes me want to have a dream of working at Disney too. Maybe that's where I'll retire. Your answer is not correct, but it's a good thing I'm not keeping score!I will guess A...
Hailey is so stunning... oh to be able to be a young girl again and look like Ariel.
Glad to have another reader. I post trivia questions daily on Haley's Facebook page as our form of a "countdown calendar", so I cross-post them here as a little game to keep things interesting. I travel a lot, so I miss a day here or there. Katie was reminding me the other day that Haley will be the same age on this trip that Katie was the last time we went. They are going to love it!
Answer: B. The flag which adorns the top of The American Adventure pavilion has only 15 stars on it. That's because when the U.S. was first formed, the flag had the same number of stars and stripes as there were states in the nation. As more states joined the union, it became impossible to add a stripe for each one. That is why the current U.S. flag has 50 stars, one for each state, but just 13 stripes representing the original 13 colonies.
That's ok - if you got it right, I will award points, even if someone else answered it first. That's my rule
