A Salute to AK but mostly Dinosaur! TR 9/5-9/14/24! New TR link**

It’s time for a trans dimensional joy ride folks!

Day 3,


9/7/24. We had a date with a Dino this morning!

We had some breakfast in the room and headed to the bus stop for an AK bus. The bus time schedule in the MDE worked pretty well this trip.

I don’t remember a ton about our bus rides other than we never had to stand and the buses were not overly crowded.

AK opened at 7:30 this morning, we did not plan for that. We arrived around 8:30 and headed straight to Dinosaur.

It was a 5 minute wait. We rode once SB and once with our FP. Awesome ride as usual. Kait likes this one. I knew there was a reason Andi picked her!

Ride 1

Ride 2
IMG_2024-10-17-191309.jpg
I stopped and picked up my AP magnet

Andi took my picture with my favorite Dino 🦕
IMG_2024-10-17-192211.jpg
We also rode Triceratops Spin. I just read the area with the carnival games, store, and Triceratops will be closing on 1/12/25. Dinosaur will still be open! Yay 😃 I will still have time to go and get that Dino!
IMG_2024-10-17-192304.jpg
It was time for our Safari FP. We got a row to ourselves yay! Just to let everyone know, we never waited more than 5-7 minutes for all our FP selections. For us this was excellent since we do not like waiting in line at all!

We had a good Safari and got a little glimpse of the baby elephant.

This fella was close to our jeep.
IMG_2024-10-17-191845.jpg
We did the gorilla trail next and tell me you can see the hidden hippo 🦛
IMG_2024-10-17-191938.jpg
The gorilla area was very busy but I saw the sisters up on the hill and took a quick picture of this dude! He was lounging around.
IMG_2024-10-17-192025.jpg
We had a FP for NRJ next, Kait really likes this serene boat ride.
IMG_2024-10-17-192113.jpg
Andi and I did pay for a FoP ride. We did this next and Kait waited by Satuli Cantina for us. I do love FoP, it is amazing every time I ride this! It never gets old, well maybe the preshow does, haha 🤣

It was time to get some popcorn in my refillable bucket.

We munched on popcorn 🍿 and went back into Dinoland to meet Daisy. Kait loves Daisy and from past experiences Daisy usually has a small wait. Many people don’t realize she is back here.
IMG_2024-10-17-191442.jpg
It was a short line and soon we met Diva Daisy! She was showing us her fashion designs.
IMG_2024-10-17-191550.jpg

We really enjoyed this meet and greet!
 
It was now time to head out of the park. We had a very special lunch at Sanaa. We said goodbye to Dinoland for now!
IMG_2024-10-17-192409.jpg
We also looked in the gift shops on our way out. Does anyone else think AK shops are the best? I love the shops here I a,ways find unique things! We didn’t buy anything today.


We did a few photos before getting the bus to Kidani Village.
IMG_2024-10-17-191753.jpg
The PhotoPass CM here was really nice and took several different shots.
IMG_2024-10-17-191639.jpg
IMG_2024-10-17-191720.jpg
The three of us were very excited to have the delicious bread service at Sanaa.
IMG_2024-10-17-192457.jpg
We arrived about 20 minutes before our reservation and took a little walk around the resort. There was some construction going on around the resort savanna so we didn’t see many animals.

Here are the girls waiting for the delicious bread service.
IMG_2024-10-17-192528.jpg
We checked in and were seated right around 1:20 which was our ADR time.

We shared the bread service and I don’t care that it has literally gone up $9.00 in price since we have been coming here. It was $13.00 on our first visit and it is now $22.00.
IMG_2024-10-17-192811.jpg
Indian-style Bread Service
IMG_2024-10-17-192703.jpg
Five Breads and with all Nine Accompaniments - Traditional Naan, Garlic-Ginger Naan, Spiced Naan, Onion Kulcha, or Paneer Paratha. Accompaniments - Cucumber Raita, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Mango Chutney, Tomato-Date Jam, Tamarind Chutney, Coriander Chutney, Garlic Pickle, Red Chile Sambal, or Spicy Jalapeño-Lime Pickle

I ordered the Tandoori chicken and this was delicious.

Tandoori Chicken
IMG_2024-10-17-192845.jpg
Traditional Naan, Rocket, Pickled Onion, Tomato, and Sambal Mayonnaise
The pickled onion and Sambal mayo with the chicken was so good. I didn’t eat the bread since I filled up on the bread service so just eating the chicken was perfect.

The girls shared the Potjie
IMG_2024-10-17-192619.jpg
Potjie Inspired

Choose one from the Journey - Goan Seafood Curry, Butter Chicken, Braised Beef, or Pork Vindaloo. Choose one from the Harvest (Plant-based) - Rajma Masala, Chickpea Wat, Sukuma Wiki, or Lentil Daal served with Scented Basmati Rice

They chose the Butter Chicken and Chickpea Wat. They loved this dish. We must have been enjoying the food so much I forgot to get a picture of their food.

We had water and Diet Coke at lunch, skipped the alcohol at this meal, shocker I know.

Just so you are aware it was hotter than Hades again today with wicked humidity.

We are happy and ready for a little nap.💤

I ordered a Lyft and we went back to the room for a little rest..
 
I had been adding some FP selections for DHS so once we took a little rest that is where we headed.

Look who was visiting our lobby, he is number one ☝️
IMG_2024-10-17-193036.jpg
We took the boat to DHS, look at the sky, I thought it was going to rain but it actually didn’t until we were back at the hotel.
IMG_2024-10-17-193126.jpg
Our FP selections were TSM, MMRR, and ToT.
IMG_2024-10-17-193525.jpg
IMG_2024-10-17-193731.jpg
TSM first, Kait and Andi did good, both getting way better scores than me. I only got 114,000 tonight.

We had a paid fancy ride for Rise and headed there next. We basically walked right on. 👍


IMG_2024-10-17-193819.jpg

I tried to convince Andi to watch the Frozen show but she wasn’t buying what I was selling so I went and enjoyed it myself while the girls did the Muppets.
IMG_2024-10-17-193938.jpg
I loved it. The show is hilarious 😂 I’m so glad I went in to see the show. It also was a glorious cool down for me.
IMG_2024-10-17-194043.jpg
The heat was brutal this evening.

Once Elsa made it snow and closed out the show, I met the girls at MMRR. It was time for our FP.
IMG_2024-10-17-194139.jpg
We had a fun ride and Daisy didn’t seizure!

Our ToT was still about an hour away so we looked in the shops and had a refresher from Starbucks before heading over to the ToT.

Andi and I rode again without Kait. She hung out in the shade. Our picture was awful so I won’t add it. We are completely hidden. Oh well, in December, I am requesting the front rode this time. Andi gets embarrassed and won’t let me ask for a different row!

We decided to walk back to BWI. See you later DHS.
IMG_2024-10-17-211726.jpg
Our walk took us to the main pool at BWI. There was a nice pool bar there. We didn’t get anything but checked it out.
IMG_2024-10-17-194218.jpg
We did go to the Boardwalk Ice cream shop and had dessert for our supper. We were still full from Sanaa.

The girls had milkshakes. Kait had a cookies and cream, Andi had a strawberry one.

I had 2 scoops of ice cream. Mint chocolate chip and vanilla.

We all enjoyed our ice cream snacks before heading back to the room.

Day 3 in the books 📚


Stay tuned for MK, it doesn’t have Dinosaur but it will do!

Good to know! I need to figure out how to use it in Dec.
Dinosaur will still be open! Yay 😃 I will still have time to go and get that Dino!
YAY!! I was worried it was going the way of the do-do.
We got a row to ourselves yay!
Score!!!

But did you see the Baobobs? ;)
tell me you can see the hidden hippo 🦛
I can see the HH. :laughing:
well maybe the preshow does, haha 🤣
Ummm....


:lmao:
We had a very special lunch at Sanaa.
Every lunch at Sanaa is special.
IMG_2024-10-17-192811.jpg
Seeee?!
I tried to convince Andi to watch the Frozen show
What's not to love?! It's hilarious!
I loved it. The show is hilarious 😂 I’m so glad I went in to see the show. It also was a glorious cool down for me.
Like you said! I really love it.
 

It's good to hear that Crews Cup has added more food options to their menu. We were disappointed that some of our favorites were missing from their menu the last time we were there.
I think they brought back a few of the favorites! This was my first time here! I will add it to my list from now on!
I must admit that I have never set foot in either Swan or Dolphin.
Really? Well it really isn’t necessary other than dining. The resorts are really beautiful and overall dining at some of the places here get very good reviews!
Too close? Did you feel packed in? Or okay?
The window really helped being up against the window, being in the center tables would have felt to close for comfort too me!
Then I won't pencil this one in as a must do.
It was good but if you haven’t done Frontera I would recommend that one first!
Hello!!!!!!!

Except... I looked and there's various recipes for this. I like this one (at least it sounds good)
Thanks for the recipe! This drink was delicious 😋
Lovely shot of them.
Thank you! 😊
Prime rib sliders and key lime pie martinis?!?!?
Sign me up right? In fact I will December 6 with Susan and Liesa!
I wonder what that could be?
Hmmmm maybe the BEST ride ever! 🤣
She's lucky that wasn't my room. I would've pretended to be on my phone, stepped out... ON MY OWN PATIO... and started talking in a really loud voice. I'm sure she wouldn't mind.
Where are you when I need you 🤣 I should have done that and scared her off!
Hmmm... I've read a few of his books, but don't think I've ever read that one. Huh.
Read The Shining, amazing book!
 
I really love Frontera but I wouldn't mind trying Rosa Mexicana sometime
Same! I think Rosa is worth trying, it was good and service was wonderful! The salsa was not my favorite and the entrees sounded very good!
Love Crew Cup! I can't wait to have the pull apart rolls with roasted garlic.
I can’t believe we never had been especially with all our stays at YC
100%! It's a great spot!
We will have a wonderful time!
I've never been so I'm looking forward to it too.
You will love the Savor the Savannah tour! Hits all the right notes ❤️
Your room is so lovely. I like the new decor too.
I really was shocked how much I liked it, BWI was my least favorite of the 3 Epcot resorts and actually because I don’t care about the pool it has become 2nd favorite now!
It's always good to try something new in Disney. The apps do look, thanks for sharing.
I agree, we tried several new places this trip and it was really nice!
What in the name of all that is decent is that nanny chair???? Creepy and could have been in HHN!!!
Right! Very creepy, I guess turn of the century chairs for the nannies to sit while watching the children! 🧟🧟‍♀️
Congratulations to Andi and Kait purchasing their home! Always exciting, I hope they’re very happy there, they certainly look very happy!
I’m very excited for them. They move in 11/15!
I do like the look of that Key Lime Martini, I love key lime anything! And yes, that hotel is beautiful, I did have to Google what BWI was though, but lovely!
This drink was delicious and a perfect dessert after our Mexican dinner.
I do like the refurbished rooms!
I daren’t show Tom the pictures of your doggies, if we were ever to get a dog (not a chance from me) that’s exactly the breed he wants. Don’t get me wrong, I love dogs, but on a cold wet winters morning the last thing I want to do is get up to take a dog out a walk…..lol…..
They are such sweet dogs 🐶 Busy dogs than goodness Joe does all the walking and activities with them! I just love them up haha 🤣
Will be keeping up with this one for sure, always enjoy reading your reports Caroline
Thank you so much Carole! ❤️❤️
 
I'm starting to travel a bit more with my daughter Anara and sure love it.
I love it 🥰 We travel very well together!
So awesome!! Love this shot of you three. :)
Thank you ☺️
I'm on the fence with this, but I'm pretty cash poor right now.
It was worth it for us and I wanted to try it out! It does add $$$to your trip definitely
Stawp, you're beautiful.
I knew I liked you, haha 😆
Now that's the way to properly travel.
Drink in hand with extra leg room yes please!
Such a shame that I'll have to drive right after our (Kari and mine's) visit there. Okay, maybe ONE glass.
Ahhh you can have one glass, this wine was very good
Yes, they do. My fave it at Woody's- both bowls are amazing! And big enough to split.
Woody’s does have some great tot bowls yum 🤤
I just love that cute little show. So funny!
Muppets is great, I hope it doesn’t close
This ride has really grown on me too. I love the little song- so catchy.
Same I’m glad it is something I like since we loved 🥰 GMR
I literally laughed so hard out loud at this.
She looked very creepy, eyes twitching and all, lol 😝
I like it mostly for the theming and queue. The ride? Meh.
Very true! MFSR ride is just meh to me!
I"m devastated they ttook the roast beef wellington thingy away. Such sadness. It was often my lunch in DHS.
Oh no We never tried this since Andi doesn’t eat red meat.
Oh doesn't this sound so yummy! I"m excited to finally try the Cucina Frontera.
I’m excited for our evening at Frontera, the margaritas are amazing here!
I'm dying to try this particular drink so much! I do love this lounge so much.
It was delicious 🤤 and yes we will need to have this. I hope they still make it, why do they take everything popular and delicious off the menus??
I'm soooooo excited to join you ladies in Dec. I'm going to start a PTR of sorts for the Dec. trip now that school is behind me and I have a bit more time.
Yes, same. It has been a long time since we have been able to get together at our happy place!

We also looked in the gift shops on our way out. Does anyone else think AK shops are the best? I love the shops here I a,ways find unique things! We didn’t buy anything today.
AK definitely has the best gift shops. :)
Look who was visiting our lobby, he is number one
I love seeing the characters at the resort hotels. It makes for a fun resort stay. :)
I tried to convince Andi to watch the Frozen show but she wasn’t buying what I was selling so I went and enjoyed it myself while the girls did the Muppets.
The girls totally missed out on the best show at WDW. They always change it up, with a few different jokes each time. :)
 
Good to know! I need to figure out how to use it in Dec.
I will show you, it is a nice feature, it is in your resort area on the MDE
YAY!! I was worried it was going the way of the do-do.
Haha, it will be extinct soon enough!
But did you see the Baobobs?
Haha, of course I sat on Kelly’s favorite side so I could get the best view of this! 🤣
I can see the HH
Yay! One time I was telling my sister look back there the Hippo is under the water and actually it was a rock!😝
Every lunch at Sanaa is special.
Can’t go wrong with that awesome bread service!
What's not to love?! It's hilarious!
Right? Andi just doesn’t get it!
 
I was so sad in April that I got sick and didn't get to ride Dinosaur. I was worried I wouldn't get one last ride but when they announced that they weren't even closing the carnival area until January I knew I'd get to ride at Thanksgiving!! I'm so happy to get to say goodbye. It's not my absolute favorite ride like it is yours, but I do love it.

I don't like the front row at TOT. The one time I sat there, my friend Rob broke the ride because either his hand or his foot broke the "safety plane" on a drop and we were immediately brought to a stop and taken down to the exit. Luckily, the just sent us up again - after scolding Rob to keep his appendages inside the ride at all times. LOL. Even the one time I got an entire elevator to myself, I didn't sit in the front row.
 
It was a 5 minute wait. We rode once SB and once with our FP. Awesome ride as usual. Kait likes this one. I knew there was a reason Andi picked her!

Congrats on getting two rides and for everyone having a blast!

We did the gorilla trail next and tell me you can see the hidden hippo 🦛

I see him!

It was a short line and soon we met Diva Daisy! She was showing us her fashion designs.

Diva Daisy is all about the Fashion.


Such a cute photo! It makes me sad that this photo op will be going away.

Tandoori Chicken
IMG_2024-10-17-192845.jpg

Yum, this looks so good.

I tried to convince Andi to watch the Frozen show but she wasn’t buying what I was selling so I went and enjoyed it myself while the girls did the Muppets.

She is missing out!

I loved it. The show is hilarious 😂 I’m so glad I went in to see the show. It also was a glorious cool down for me.

So happy you enjoyed it. Great show and so much good AC.
 
We had a date with a Dino this morning!
Get in while you can!
The bus time schedule in the MDE worked pretty well this trip.
Good to know. :)
I don’t remember a ton about our bus rides other than we never had to stand and the buses were not overly crowded.
This is all you can ask for with bus service. I'll stand if I have to, but...
It was a 5 minute wait.
:sad2:
I wonder if this is contributing to its demise? I remember when it was still fairly new and waits were an hour...
Kait likes this one. I knew there was a reason Andi picked her!
I'm surprised with her aversion to motion rides that she's okay with this one. It's pretty chaotic!
Love how Andi is pointing to her engagement ring. :goodvibes
I just read the area with the carnival games, store, and Triceratops will be closing on 1/12/25.
Ya.... not super surprised by that.
Dinosaur will still be open! Yay 😃 I will still have time to go and get that Dino!
Yuss!
It was time for our Safari FP. We got a row to ourselves yay!
:thumbsup2
we do not like waiting in line at all!
Oh? I love waiting in line. The longer the better. Sometimes I'll even use the chicken exit and get back in line, just to do it again.



said no one ever
got a little glimpse of the baby elephant.
:goodvibes
This fella was close to our jeep.
Probably selling something illegal. Like... shares in baobab tree condos. Don't buy anything Caroline.
We did the gorilla trail next and tell me you can see the hidden hippo 🦛
::yes::
But would have missed it if you hadn't pointed it out.
Me right now.
We had a FP for NRJ next, Kait really likes this serene boat ride.
I would think that would be more her speed. ::yes::
I do love FoP, it is amazing every time I ride this!
Such a great ride!
It was time to get some popcorn in my refillable bucket.
I've only had popcorn once (at Disney) and that was at Disneyland. Never had it at WDW.
Daisy usually has a small wait. Many people don’t realize she is back here.
I didn't know that.
Then again, I don't really do character visits, so there's that.
I don't remember seeing this!!!
Does anyone else think AK shops are the best?
::yes::
The three of us were very excited to have the delicious bread service at Sanaa.
That bread service! :faint: :love:
Cute shot of the happy couple. :)
We shared the bread service and I don’t care that it has literally gone up $9.00 in price since we have been coming here. It was $13.00 on our first visit and it is now $22.00.
Huh! Almost doubled in price.
But... the cynic in me isn't surprised. Word got out and it's certainly a well known menu item. So... of course Disney would hike the price, knowing people would still buy it. :sad2:
I ordered the Tandoori chicken and this was delicious.
Must remember this.
Another cute shot. They sure seem happy together. :)
We had water and Diet Coke at lunch, skipped the alcohol at this meal, shocker I know.
:laughing:
Look who was visiting our lobby, he is number one ☝️
IMG_2024-10-17-193036.jpg
Big Goofy fan, huh?


:rolleyes:
We had a paid fancy ride for Rise and headed there next. We basically walked right on. 👍
You're doing great with the queues!
I tried to convince Andi to watch the Frozen show but she wasn’t buying what I was selling
Really? Has she seen it before?
I loved it. The show is hilarious 😂
It is! The storytellers really make that show.
We had a fun ride and Daisy didn’t seizure!
:laughing: Always a plus.
Andi and I rode again without Kait. She hung out in the shade. Our picture was awful so I won’t add it. We are completely hidden.
Well, shoot.
Oh well, in December, I am requesting the front rode this time. Andi gets embarrassed and won’t let me ask for a different row!
No embarrassment. The CMs don't seem to care one way or another. They just slot you in to the correct row and don't bat an eye.
We did go to the Boardwalk Ice cream shop and had dessert for our supper.
Ice cream for supper... Can I come to Disney with y'all next time?
Stay tuned for MK, it doesn’t have Dinosaur but it will do!
:laughing:
 
Really? Well it really isn’t necessary other than dining. The resorts are really beautiful and overall dining at some of the places here get very good reviews!
I've heard some good things, but... Just haven't found myself over that way, yet.
It was good but if you haven’t done Frontera I would recommend that one first!
Sold!
Thanks for the recipe! This drink was delicious 😋
And... I can't make it! I can't get the key lime liqueur. I did find another one with key lime juice, so will try that one. I have all the ingredients now, but I'm working so much and that prevents me (legally) from drinking anything.
Sign me up right? In fact I will December 6 with Susan and Liesa!
I'm not envious at all. Not even a little bit. Nope. Totally not. Nada. Zip. Nil.



You don't believe a word of that, do you. (Not a question.)
Hmmmm maybe the BEST ride ever! 🤣
:laughing:
Where are you when I need you 🤣 I should have done that and scared her off!
Invite me for prime rib sliders and key lime pie martinis and I am there. :laughing:
Read The Shining, amazing book!
Okay! I'll track down a copy.

Nevermind... I just ordered it off Amazon and will be reading it this Sunday (or Monday if it arrives too late.) :goodvibes
 
From a Galaxy Far Far Away!

I totally forgot to add these pictures from the last post! I put all my PhotoPass pictures in a separate folder and I keep forgetting to add to the report!
Not the best move, thinking I was being organized :rotfl2:
These are some of our favorites! This was right after we rode Rise!

Wow Big Al is singing that song! 🎸🎵

Sunday 9/8/24


We got up early today, can you believe it? Our goal was to make the extra 30 minutes in MK.


We had some breakfast goodies, standard banana for me.

The bus area was busy but not crazy and we got on a MK bus quickly and we all had a seat. Andi offered her seat to a few people, who she likely thought were ancient 🤣when they were really probably my age! They declined but what a sweet girl and we raised her right!
IMG_2024-10-19-155037.jpg
Our plan was to RD PPF. MK is beautiful and always such a pleasure to walk down MainStreet! ❤️❤️
IMG_2024-10-19-155219.jpg
Resort guests get scanned in to the right of the castle and we were all the way down by the Cheshire Cat stand, nice! Going on party days is the way to avoid large crowds!

The mad dash started right on time. We pretty much walked right on PPF. We maybe waited around 5-7 minutes. In the line, a lady behind us asked if I write reports on the Dis. I said yes and she told me she has read many of my reports and recognized me! How nice was this! She was touring with her husband. She told me she isn’t on the Dis much anymore but did enjoy my reports in the past!

Andi and Kait said I was a celebrity! 😂😂
IMG_2024-10-19-155326.jpg
Soon we were flying over London and Neverland. We liked the new Tiger Lily scene. I couldn’t get a decent picture of it.

We took a little break in the Tangled restrooms and waited to RD HM. We had FP for cash this morning as well. We had PoTC, HM, and Tiana’s Bayou.

We walked on HM for our first ride. We all rode in one Doom Buggy this first time. It was fine but a little squished.
IMG_2024-10-20-065544.jpg
We stopped for a few pictures outside of the mansion before moving on to PoTC.
IMG_2024-10-20-065620.jpg
Jungle Cruise was under refurbishment during our visit.

On PoTC, I was really happy to see the guy sitting in front of us got the memo to do the international pirate sign! 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️
IMG_2024-10-20-065405.jpg
This has been the best morning so far and it was just starting, three of my top favorite rides, done already! ✅

It was around 9:30 and The Golden Outpost was open. They had a couple new menu items I thought Andi would love so why not have chicken, sweet potato fries, and beignets at around 9:30!

Hot Honey Chicken with Sweet Potato Fries
IMG_2024-10-19-155451.jpg
Chicken Nuggets tossed in Hot Sauce-Honey served with New Orleans Olive Relish and Cajun-spiced Sweet Potato Fries

Tiana’s Famous Beignets
IMG_2024-10-19-155536.jpg
Light, sweet, and fluffy Beignets with Powdered Sugar and drizzled with Honey

We shared everything and loved it! The chicken and fries were delicious and really not super spicy!

The Beignets were also very fresh and delicious slightly different than my favorite Mickey ones at the POFQ.

I would say the Mickey beignets are still my favorite but these ones were very good! The honey drizzle was a nice add on!

With our bellies full, we needed to see those Country Bears!

This was our first time seeing the newly designed show!
IMG_2024-10-19-155811.jpg
Our verdict? We loved it! I loved all the Disney songs done in a little different way. The bears looked refreshed and the set nice and bright!

Big Al was singing Remember Me from Coco 🤣
IMG_2024-10-19-160001.jpg
I thought it was hilarious and not sad like in the movie!

I cry every time I hear it in Coco! I love that movie!🎥

Follow me to the next post…
 
After really enjoying the new and improved Country Bears, we had our FP for HM.
IMG_2024-10-20-065439.jpg
A second spin on HM and I rode in my own Doom Buggy this time.
IMG_2024-10-20-065250.jpg
IMG_2024-10-20-065652.jpg
I had made a FP for WtP for right after HM. We walked over to FL to ride a favorite of ours! This is as close as I get to the terrifying honey wall, lol 😆 just thinking about all the germs on that wall, yikes 😱
IMG_2024-10-20-063749.jpg
We got notified Tiana was down during this time, 😬 we decided to keep doing attractions with FP until it was back up. We did LM next and had a few pictures taken here. Our best fish faces 😅

IMG_2024-10-20-063900.jpg
Dumbo was up next. I took a picture of the gorls ❤️
IMG_2024-10-20-064007.jpg
We decided to hop on the train and ride it to Frontier Land to check on Tiana.

Andi was really happy to be reunited with her beloved Steam train. She hadn’t been on the train since it went down for Tron like 5-6 years ago!

If you can believe it, we, for once, had perfect timing! Tiana was just reopening when we arrived and we were able to get in line. I didn’t take many pictures this time around. I just took it all in! I loved the queue and the ride! In my next MK post I will have a bunch of pictures! The ride just made me happy! we all gave it 2 thumbs up 👍

We did get a little wet, Andi and Kait more than I did since they were in the front! Can you all guess the theme of the girls pictures? 💍💍

We moved on to Tomorrow Land next! We had a FP for Buzz.

Andi was a galactic hero before we even got out of the first part of the ride, whatever! 😉

We did get stopped for a few minutes and I still couldn’t get a high score! I blame the spot we were in. :rotfl:

Next up, PM. I had to get a picture of sweet Andi with her PM shirt that I bought her. I knew she would love it 😍

We did CoP to cool off! Again it was super hot and humid! I had sweat 😓 above my lip and my hands were so sweaty I thought I would drop my phone 📱

We all love CoP so the wonderful air conditioning was a bonus!

We took a picture at the purple wall and some spooky pictures, lol 😝 with the headless horseman backdrop.

Our plan was to head out and spend time at Epcot. We wanted to try a few F&W booths and get a ride on the monorail!

Stay tuned! What is that smell? 👃

AK definitely has the best gift shops. :)
So true, I think almost every shirt I have bought at Disney has been in the AK gift shops!
I love seeing the characters at the resort hotels. It makes for a fun resort stay. :)
It really is nice to see this again!
The girls totally missed out on the best show at WDW. They always change it up, with a few different jokes each time.
I know, Andi really holds a grudge, haha 🤣 getting wet and the crazy over popular Frozen has made her feel less inclined to do anything Frozen! :sad2:
I loved the show and seeing it solo was great!
I was so sad in April that I got sick and didn't get to ride Dinosaur. I was worried I wouldn't get one last ride but when they announced that they weren't even closing the carnival area until January I knew I'd get to ride at Thanksgiving!! I'm so happy to get to say goodbye. It's not my absolute favorite ride like it is yours, but I do love it.
I’m so glad you get to enjoy Dinoland one more time in November! I am a huge Disney secrets nerd and I think the back story of Dinoland is one of the best. It will be hard to see it transformed. I am excited for Encanto but Indy is on the west coast leave Dino it is unique to the east coast
I don't like the front row at TOT. The one time I sat there, my friend Rob broke the ride because either his hand or his foot broke the "safety plane" on a drop and we were immediately brought to a stop and taken down to the exit. Luckily, the just sent us up again - after scolding Rob to keep his appendages inside the ride at all times. LOL. Even the one time I got an entire elevator to myself, I didn't sit in the front row.
That is really funny, I never dreamed that could happen! Andi feels like we are bothering the busy CM so she always says mom it is fine don’t be a “Karen” lol 😂
 
:rotfl:Congrats on getting two rides and for everyone having a blast!
We loved it! I have to say front row is best and I always pray we get it. The last row make me really have to brace so my back doesn’t get sore!
I see him!
Yay! Sometimes I have to really look under the water in this area, I am known to think a rock is a hippo :rotfl2:
Diva Daisy is all about the Fashion.
I love this meet and greet! She is always very sweet and spends a good amount of time with you!
Such a cute photo! It makes me sad that this photo op will be going away.
Thank you 😊 and I agree! Do you think they will have Encanto meet and greets back here? That would make it less painful to me, haha 😆
Yum, this looks so good.
Sanaa is such a favorite of ours. Honestly, other than maybe one time having slow service this is always two thumbs up 👍
She is missing out!
Exactly she is a grudge holder! :rotfl:
So happy you enjoyed it. Great show and so much good AC.
I really did, the story tellers were amazing and very funny!
 
Andi offered her seat to a few people, who she likely thought were ancient 🤣when they were really probably my age! They declined but what a sweet girl and we raised her right!
That was nice of her. I always take the seat on the bus if someone offers it to me. I tend to sway into people if I'm standing.
In the line, a lady behind us asked if I write reports on the Dis. I said yes and she told me she has read many of my reports and recognized me! How nice was this!
I did that to Billie one time. I used to read her trip reports. She was easy to spot when I saw her at MK one time. :)
We liked the new Tiger Lily scene
That scene is really well done. I also like the new campfire scene.
On PoTC, I was really happy to see the guy sitting in front of us got the memo to do the international pirate sign!
I need to do that next time. I didn't know about the secret hand signal. :)
This was our first time seeing the newly designed show!
We loved the new Country Bears show, too.
Tiana was just reopening when we arrived and we were able to get in line.
That is great timing, especially when the train took you there. :)
