Gotta love those low crowd days. More!More!

 

[Disney9.9.10]

awesome pictures! I just reminded DH we have to take some from top of the train station down Main St. I love those!!!

Thank you I hadn't been up to the top of the train station in a few trips, so I decided that it was definitely happening on this trip! I'm glad that we made it up there.

Gotta love those low crowd days. More!More!

Yes, it was amazingly low crowds. I planned on doing more updates than just that one, but I ran out of time before I had to go to class. Hopefully tomorrow I will add some more!

 

[marDgreen88]

Oh my goodness, there are few things greater than Magic Kingdom with light crowds!

Love all the castle pictures! Too bad it was grey out... I hope that doesn't mean rain!!!

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Love the low crowds!!!! I always forget to go up to the train station to take a picture, it's a nice perspective!

Hahahaha I think we all have the "Must Take 8000 Pictures of the Castle" illness!

I so wish I was on Main St. right now! I love all those pictures.

I agree with you there! I loved the low crowds. We had a couple of grey days, but thankfully, they didn't last!

At least I can post things like that here and people know what I'm talking about… you tell that to someone IRL and they look at you like you are crazy

I so wish I was on Main St. right now! I love all those pictures.

Me too! I already want to go back before I'm even at the airport on my way home from a trip lol

Day 3 Part 3 - Friday, December 14th, 2012

I meant to update more than I did yesterday, but I had to meet a friend for lunch and then I had class last night so I ran out of time!

I will continue on with MK now (squeee!)

So I left off with us having entered Tomorrowland. I love walking over that bridge and hearing the music change. It is all of these small details that make me fall in love with this place all over again

Crowds were still looking low

In Tomorrowland, we did COP - I love, love, love this and my cousin had never been on .

We also rode Buzz (which we take very seriously lol)

And the TTA Peoplemover

I love the Peoplemover! I am a fan of the classics, in case you couldn't tell! We also browsed around some of the nearby shops.




And then, it was time...





Time for what??





Time to go and see the new Fantasyland (!!!)





I warned everyone. This is my first time seeing it all. I WILL cry. If you don't want to be seen with that, you better remove yourselves from my area lol I had been looking forward to this since they first announced the expansion.


Slowly, we approached. I had to walk slowly to take it all in. I must have said "OMG" 294875935969382 times. I also said "It's so beautiful" 284775939571423 times. I was taken in by it. I can't even adequately describe how I felt in words. I'm still having a rough time as I sit here typing And in case you were wondering, there WERE tears!

First we went over to the Storybook Circus area.

Simbas!!

How cute is this?

Look at the carpet!!!

Now, as excited as I was to see the Storybook Circus area, it couldn't even compare to how I felt walking over to see the Beauty and the Beast and Little Mermaid areas. There were even more tears here! (I swear, I'm 5 years old)

I loved this sign! You can look in at the construction to see what is happening. What don't they think of?

Continued in the next post...

Day 3 Part 4 - Friday, December 14th, 2012

Now the crowds were not as nice here. Everyone must have had the same idea and wanted to see the new parts of Fantasyland. I tried to ignore all of that and pay attention to the beautiful new updates.

This part of the TR is going to be more pictures than words. I don't even have words for most of it. I was too enthralled and busy taking pictures. I was really impressed with all that Disney did here. They really paid attention to detail (which is something that they are known for) and it was all so beautiful!

Gaston's

The new store

And moving towards Journey of the Little Mermaid

We were very sad to learn that the ride was down and would be for about another 2 hours! We knew that we were coming back to the MK though, so we hoped that we would be able to ride it then!

Up Next& Where did we go for lunch?

 

[marDgreen88]

I'm with you! Classics are, well... CA-LASSIC!!! I just love CoP and PeopleMover! I haven't ridden Buzz in FOREVER though!

Ahhh I do apologize but I had to skip through all your FLE pics! I'm trying really, really hard not to see anything before I see it in person! (Good luck, right? Bahah.) I bet your pictures were great though!

 

[KatMark]

Great updates. I love the low crowd pictures.

I too love the PeopleMover...could ride it over and over; it's just so relaxing (I can't quite say the same about COP...Mark likes to do it and I go and take my afternoon siesta during it ).

You got some awesome pictures of the new Fantasyland area (it's one of the things I didn't do...I didn't get as many pictures when we were there the week before you). The detail was amazing. I loved the new shop with all of the Belle & Beast items (in fact, that is where I got Des her Christmas present...I told her to pick out what she wanted and she picked out the four smaller plates....I guess you could call them salad plates...and each one had a different design on it).

 

[tinkgurl]

I think I could ride the People Mover all day!

Oh gosh, I know I'm going to cry the first time I see the Beauty and the Bast and Little Mermaid area. And I already see about 100 things I want in the gift shop pictures you posted!

 

[Victoriasmom98]

I love your Fantasyland pics. I cannot wait to see this area as it looks so beautiful! You did a great job with the pics!!

I agree! Buzz is pretty awesome, hopefully you get to ride it again soon. I take no offence to you skipping through my FLE pics, it is for a good reason. You are going to love it!!!

Siesta Hopefully you will be able to get yourself some pictures of FLE next time! Des has great taste! Those plates are so pretty. My 4 year old cousin wanted one of the china mugs when she saw them online!

It is nice to read that there are other people who react the same way as I do It is so beautiful and well thought out. There were some neat things in the gift shop, and I liked how everything was B&B themed.

I love your Fantasyland pics. I cannot wait to see this area as it looks so beautiful! You did a great job with the pics!!

Thank you I like looking at pictures of it, but nothing can compare to seeing the real thing! You will love it!

 

[Deesknee]

Your pictures are amazing. I wish I had taken better pictures of the new fantasyland when we were there. You did great!

Aw thank you! I'm pretty happy with how they turned out, especially since I only had a little point and shoot on me that I couldn't adjust at all. Hopefully on your next trip you can get some more shots for yourself

I told my husband I was going to look for us in your pictures since we seemed to be in the same places roughly around the same times

I'm so sad that we never got to go on TLM ride while we were there So many things we wanted to do and just never had a chance.

It's crazy that crowds were so low on your MK day - they were INSANE everywhere we went!!

Me too!

Once again, ME TOO!!!


And Kathy, we love the COP but the older I get the more I fall asleep inside... Just like I do when I try to watch a movie.


The pictures you took/posted Krysten are STUNNING and when you are sad, I want you to stop and look at them and remember the wonderful trip and all of the fun you had. I pray today is a marvelous day!

 

[jwwi]

Just joining! Hope you were able to experience the new fantasyland attractions. Did you ride Dumbo, get any caramel corn or see Belle? They were out of fresh caramel corn when we were there in November. Hope to try it on a future trip.
I really enjoy going on all girl trips to WDW, my husband just doesn't like to go as often as I do.

That would be so funny if you were in some of my pictures! I loved TLM ride, hopefully you get to ride it next time! We experienced good crowd levels on the whole trip, we must have been lucky and just missed them!

Once again, ME TOO!!!

Thank you That is very good advice! I've had some bad days and some low feelings lately, but I feel like I'm working my way back up. Hopefully it is to stay! I wish the same for you!

Thanks for stopping by and commenting! We didn't ride the new Dumbo - the line was pretty long, and we just didn't want to bother with it. I also don't like caramel corn, so I wouldn't have stopped. The others must not have been hungry either, because nobody got any if you can believe it My husband isn't a big fan either, he likes it, but he isn't obsessed like me lol

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

New Fantasyland looks amazing!!! I can't wait to see it in person!!
