Thanks for the Beauty and the Beast pics, Scott! Unfortunately, we didn't have time to see it, but my wife and I saw it on Broadway last year (awesome show!).

Nicole786 - "TOT IS AWESOME!!! and OMG i was LMAO at your beauty and the beast comments! "a talking clock." LMAO!"
I really do think TOT is my favorite ride now. it was so smooth and just great fun.
I love "Beauty" and they did an amazing job with the show down there.
Thanks for reading.

Pooh's-Honey-Pot - "Just wanted to say I am loving your report!!!
I have a question . . . I noticed you were wearing Crocs. Actually, on a recent trip I noticed EVERYONE is wearing them!! I must confess I have never really liked the look of them, but after a vacation of blisters I am starting to give in! Are they really that comfortable??!!!"
Thank you. Crocs r probably the most hideous looking things around, however, they r also the most comfortable things around. I wore them everyday except the last night and day and I had no problems or complaints. I will bring them again when I go next year.

shannon47142 - "Great update!! The first photos the other photos, esp. of the show"
Thank you. Some photos r just funnier than the others. We needed a little comic relief there.


eeyore3847 - "Best trip report ever! Love love love love love it!!! Lori"
Thank you and I highly doubt that but thank you for the compliment.


randy4au - "Thanks for the Beauty and the Beast pics, Scott! Unfortunately, we didn't have time to see it, but my wife and I saw it on Broadway last year (awesome show!)."
There is always next time you go. The Broadway show plays it's last performance on Tuesday night and then they make room for "The Little Mermaid" the musical.


Another update later today or tonight.

donaldduck1967 - "Here are th Zoo pics."
They were fantastic. I have not been there in 2 years I think. The Botanical gardens I went to last year.
very nice photos.


donaldduck1967 - "Here are the Aquarium pics"
I love these pics. I love the aquarium, i have not been there in at 13+ years. thanks for sharing.

Scott
thanks for looking at the pics. I really enjoy both the Zoo and Aquarium. We try and go at least once a year. The trip report is going great. There really is nothing better then a trip with LOTS of pics. It makes us fell like we're there with you.

You would think a subway ride away from either I would go more often. But no I do not.. oh well.

Scott,

Beautiful photos again. I love the TOT shot. We're going on it this trip for the first time. Your pic is very encouraging. Thanks!

 

[Kimmy]

Great pictures of Beauty and the Beast. I really like the TOT picture. Not as funny as the SM picture TOT is one of my favorites!

 

[KatGarcia]

Hey! Did I read correctly that you will be going to the DIS MEET in August? My hubby and I will be there! I hope we can get more people to come too! Lookin fwd to meetin ya and seeing more of your TR!

 

[kansas_visitors]

I am making a DVD of the pics which is about 1000 strong, should I try posting on a site and putting a link to it for all to see.
Also, I just purchased the photomovie and do you think I should post this also?
Ok just wondering if I should or not.
They will be the same pics as here just different in the presentation I guess.

Thanks.

I would love to see you do this. Your pictures are great and I'm really enjoying your trip report!

Scott-

With each new installment I have to refer back to your title- I can't believe this is really a July trip. In the pics it doesn't look TOO crowded and I don't think you mentioned the crowds yet? Do you think you just had great timing with everything?

I think Anakin looks rather handsome...

 

[novdisneydreams]

Loving your Report! Great Pics !!!!!!!! I'm only about half way throuh, but how did you manage to find such low crowds in July ???

pooksma - "Scott, Beautiful photos again. I love the TOT shot. We're going on it this trip for the first time. Your pic is very encouraging. Thanks!"
Thank you. You will not be disappointed, it is FUN. Let me know how you like it.

Kimmy - "Great pictures of Beauty and the Beast. I really like the TOT picture. Not as funny as the SM picture TOT is one of my favorites!"
Thanks. It was hard taking pics in there, i did not want to be rude with a flash all the time so I some with and some without. That is because Biff did not go on, he makes a picture.

KatGarcia - "Hey! Did I read correctly that you will be going to the DIS MEET in August? My hubby and I will be there! I hope we can get more people to come too! Lookin fwd to meetin ya and seeing more of y our TR!"
Yes I will be. I think it should be a lot of fun. See ya there.

kansas_visitors - "I would love to see you do this. Your pictures are great and I'm really enjoying your trip report"
Thank you. I just finished the dvd last night. I have to encode it which takes 3 - 4 hours then it should be ready to go. Hopefully I will be able to link it.
Thanks for reading.

I could not believe it either (except for the tour groups). I did mention it MK that we got on everything right away except for JC which was a 30 minute wait. Now MGM it was busy but definitely doable. Except for RNR cause of no FP'S. I think getting to MK for early breakfast than being in park at 9 helped a lot. MGM i think we got lucky, though not many rides there, more shows. I will tell him that, he will let it go to his head. He said he would like to have Anakin's hair.

Welcome. I think we were lucky. Don't get me wrong around 1:30 - 2 at MK in Frontierland there were a lot of people but it was still mostly manageable.
I was surprised cause I was expecting it too be a lot worse.

Hi,
I was going to update up to Fantasmic, however, photobucket is having a problem so I cannot upload pics. I will try again later this afternoon.

Have a great day.

 

[Maribel]

Signing in.
Great report. IT really takes you there. I usually lurk around the trip report boards looking for pictures that take me to the world when I'm a little homesick. This one really made my day.
I'm looking forward for the rest.

Don't you just hate when that happens? I hope photobucket cooperates later so that we can all enjoy your next installment.

 

[MRNsMommy]

Subbing!
Just wanted to say I've loved your TR so far! We're only able to go for 4 full days this coming December, so I enjoy reading about the shorter trip reports...makes me realize that you can still totally enjoy yourself in a shorter amount of time! Keep up the great work!

Thank you. I am so glad you r enjoying it.

randy4au - "Don't you just hate when that happens? I hope photobucket cooperates later so that we can all enjoy your next installment."
They should really learn that when I want to upload pics I should be able to. LOL. Oh well what can you do. It is working now.

I thought I would not be able to see much with such a short visit but I think we did alright. Thanks for reading.

Great Trip Report!!! Love The Pictures!!!!

Ok so we get off of TOT and again WOW what a fantastic ride. So EZ and myself walk over to RNR to see the lines (remember no fp's this day) and it said 40 minutes but we said no. Then we see a sea of yellow shirts running towards us we had enough time to get out of the way. Well we are now done with RNR for the day so no ride for us on this trip.
We walk back to where everyone is and they r now in stone cut out in the building of TOT by the fp's distribution cause it is graying up. Well 5 minutes later.

Oh my did it come down. It was 3 o'clock.

So after 10 minutes it slowed down and we decided to start walking over to Mama Melrose for our dinner. We ended up getting there 20 minutes early so I never saw a snowman in Florida before so I had EZ take my pic.

Then we went into the Muppets gift store and they had a Donald shirt that said "extremely Explosive" so they bought me that shirt. I'm not talking about anger
Then I went outside to go check us in and I took this.

Review time **
MM - this place is hidden away from the world. We live in NYC and at almost all restaurants here bread is brought to the table, well at MM it is an appetizer. Pay for bread. I do not think so. So I had the calamari and it was alright. I had the chicken parmesan for an entrée and it was bland. Nothing special. Dessert i had tiramasu and again it was ok. We only picked this place for the fantasmic package cause brown derby was booked. Would we go back, probably not.

After dinner we started to walk back to the other side of the park. We get to the hat and MZ announces he is going back to the hotel. He does not want to be in the park any longer. Ok bye.
DZ, LL, Bip and LL then go into the Playhouse with JM. No thanks.

So we walked around. Another of the broomstick.

We passed this, (how can anyone eat one of these?) I'm sorry but they do not look appetizing.

my mistake we did go 1 more time to RNR and it was still packed. (Final time i promise).

Then we met up with the others and we decided to ride this before fantasmic.

Chronicles of Narnia.

The best part of this ride.

Ok now don't hate me, flame me or anything else but what a disappointment this ride was. It was so slow i thought we were never going to get off.the actresses were not good. I did love the Wizard of Oz part. DZ, Bip and Jm got off the line cause DZ did not want to wait. I say air conditioning I am there.
So will never go on that again it just was not good for me.

Now it is time for

So this is where everyone is.

that is one packed theater. Photos did not come out to great here so here a few that r alright.

the stage.

Belle and Beast

Ursula

Mickey to the rescue.
