A Ten Day Ride on A Magic Camel - Almost Finished Trip Report

[declansdad]

I

Some tall, dark, and handsome fella I met on the way to our room.

I thought it was my brother.

 

[MeMom]

Yes, everyone survived my wrath (students included) .

I love how different Wilderness Lodge is from anything around here.
Well, financial reality may rear its ugly head, and we may be back at Pop or CBR (which I would really and truthfully be okay with -- as long as I get to Disney I will be fine) -- but since we gave up the October trip, I am really hoping that AKL or WL becomes a reality for us.

I know what you mean. I'd love to make another Christmas trip, but if I did, I wouldn't be able to go in the spring, and I want to do that. I liked it better last year, when I got to go in October, November, December, AND Spring Break!

Great AKL photos. I just love AKL! I think it's one of the best themed Disney resorts. I really hope to stay there someday, or better yet buy into DVC! In the meantime, I love going there for a meal and just wandering around. I hope you are able to talk your family into going to Boma soon. It's awesome. In two trips it has become my DH's fave restaurant, not just at Disney, but anywhere! Dinner is wonderful, but I've heard breakfast is really good, too.

Have you done the DVC tour where you get to see the AKL rooms. They're very nice!

Loved your AKL and WL pictures. And we got to see a Hidden Memom with her surfer dude friend

Cathy

I guess I was just too happy for my own good that day, huh? As you can see, there's not much exciting about me.

Funny, I thought that was a surfer dude MeMom with her hidden friend

Now let's not get carried away here! MeMom is definitely not a surfer girl!

Yay! A MeMom pic!

You're making me miss AKL!

Are you going to go over at Thanksgiving and see the big, beautiful AKL Christmas tree? I am!

I thought it was my brother.

Now that you mention it, I do see the resemblance.

Just kidding.
Are you still my friend?


Our evening would take us to Hollywood Studios.

I love the streets of Hollywood Studios, especially at night when the lights are on.

Yes, I realize it's not night yet in that picture, but I was just telling you that I like the streets all lit up at night.

We did a little shopping. Here are some t-shirt pictures, but we didn't buy any of them.

Surely couldn't buy Brooklynn this one....

since it was her fifth trip!

I hope we don't over-Disney her to the point that she doesn't want to go when she's older.

I took these with GorshGoofy in mind, but it seems that we've lost him as a reader. If you're out there, I hope all is well with you. The last I heard from you, you mentioned some health problems, so I really hope you're okay.

We saw a little of High School Musical.

Then we headed off to Tower of Terror.

I don't have these pictures loaded yet, but I'll get them going and have the ride on this for tomorrow night. I got some pretty good shots from the top.

I took these in the gift shop, where Brooklynn and I waited while Jill and John rode.

Gift shop window, although I don't think you can see much.

erica and i saw this while we were there and thought it was SO CUTE!

can't wait for the ToT shots!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Four trips would be ideal for me! One trip seems so skimpy -- I am sure I will feel differently if we actually stay at a deluxe.

Everytime I see another park in your pictures I want to type -- that one is my favorite park! I guess they are all my favorites for different reasons -- I love that old Hollywood feel of DHS! Connor and I spent a lot of time browsing the ToT gift shop ourselves.

 

[MeMom]

Okay, it appears that I did have time to load the pictures tonight, so I want to go ahead and get them up.
After all, I have a very exciting night planned for tomorrow night.
Suite Life on Deck comes on, and I want to see its premiere.
Now, how's that for an exciting evening?!?!

After Jill and John rode Tower of Terror, we used our babyswap, and since John really likes this, he and I rode it.

This show used to scare the heebie-jeebies out of me.

Brings new meaning to the phrase, "I can see right through you."

Up...

up...

whoooaaahhhhh!!!

It looks weird to see cars right there in Hollywood Studios.

And again.

When the doors to the B elevator open, it says 13.

Creepy, huh?

Recognize anyone in this picture?

I wonder if the guy in the middle right seat is putting on a scared face for the camera or if he is really that scared.

 

[dancin_princess]

I see MeMom, even though she has a camera in front of her face. loved ur ToT shots.

I dont think Brooklynn will ever be Disney'd out. (You and Jill dont get Disney'd out do you? )

 

[declansdad]

Great pics my friend

 

[punkin413]

It looks weird to see cars right there in Hollywood Studios.

i thought that too! i guess that's an employee parking lot.

Recognize anyone in this picture?

that's great! i love looking at ToT pictures. there's always a couple of funny things going on.

 

[lmillercrew]

I love your ToT pictures too. You had quite a Disney filled year last year. Brooklyn's not even 3 yet and she's been as many times as I have and I'm 37! She is one lucky little girl.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Check out the kid clutched to the guy who is looking scared.

 

[TCKK]

Loved your ToT pictures. I never thought about taking pictures on the ride. I think because I'm too scared about the dropping so many times.

 

[hollyluvsdisney]

Have you done the DVC tour where you get to see the AKL rooms. They're very nice!

Nope, I really wish we would have done the tour on our most recent trip. Although, maybe it's best that we didn't. It would have been so tempting to just sign a contract on the spot, and we don't need to be doing that right now!

Those shirts are just too adorable!


You guys got some great ToT photos. I thought this one was really cool:

That ride scares me like no other but I still love it!

 

[brookelizabeth]

The group shot from ToT is funny! I love the reactions on everyone-they are so animated.

All the shots you got are awesome! I have only ridden it once, and it totally FREAKED me out! I had no idea what was going to happen with it all...I was focused on survival. Maybe this time I'll be able to pull off a few pics...

 

[scottny]

great update and pics.

your AKL shots are gorgeous, you see things others do not.

The TOT pic is funny.

 

[MegansMom]

I laughed so hard when I saw your ToT picture and your CAMERA was in front of your FACE!!!! Too funny!!!!!

 

[Happy Elf]

Great ToT pics! Love the group shot! The boy looks scared to death! I think I was like that too when I rode for the first time!

 

[declansdad]

I laughed so hard when I saw your ToT picture and your CAMERA was in front of your FACE!!!! Too funny!!!!!

I think we should name that the MeMom pose.

 

[pooh'smate]

I love your ToT photos. Those boys look

. I too laughed when I saw your picture.

 

[Megablocks]

Those are AWESOME ToT pictures. When I was looking at them, I had the sounds that go with all the different scenes in my head.

That is a great group shot...especially of you with the camera

That was the favorite ride of my dad, brother, and I to pose on, and the easiest, probably because it pauses for a second before it takes your picture.

I can't wait to see more...have a good day MeMom!

 

[reelmom]

Too funny! I love the ToT picture. I laughed so hard when I saw the camera in front of you. You are harder to spot than any Hidden Mickey.
