fantasmic con't......

the boat of characters.

I never knew he was up there till I got home and blew this up.

they do get a lot of characters on that boat.

Sorcerer Mickey

Cropped to be closer.

the finale.

what a dream it was.

what a fantastic show. Best nightly show there. Now we join the thousands leaving.

So this is our longest wait for a bus about 10 minutes and then we are on our way. We get to Riverside and as we walk off MZ is walking there so that was perfect timing.
bar time. and the rest of the night is in the bar then bed.

Tomorrow is Animal Kingdom. Everest, dinosaurs and a grand gathering safari dinner celebration.

At last, the long-awaited update. Great photos of Fantasmic! We were too late getting there and didn't get to see the show because the amphitheatre was full.

 

[shannon47142]

Wow--- that was one packed theater. I have yet to ride RNRRC myself, maybe next time Loved the photos again

 

[Kimmy]

Great pictures of Fantasmic! I'm surprised RNR was only a 40 minute wait.

 

[tksbaskets]

Really enjoying the report so far. I personally think its a perfect mix. Your'e telling us just enough of what we need to know and the pics are adding to it. If it was my trip report i'd leave it the way it is. Thanks for sharing.

I agree! Love the pictures. I'm enjoying the heck out of your trippie....back to page 3!

 

[pooksma]

Thanks for the super fantasmic shots. We haven't seen it yet and your pics make me even more excited to do so!

 

[tksbaskets]

Ok stroller rolling we see a photopass guy and ask him also to take one with my camera.

Where is my cable, I could jump up and slash the insides with my lightsabre like Luke did.

You are cracking me up! I think your family picture at MGM is great

I about spit my soda out I was laughing so hard about the light sabre comment! You need to go to Star Wars Weekend my friend, you'd Love it!!

I had seen it in Disneyland but I did not remember too much and it was just Fantastic.

shannon47142 - "Wow--- that was one packed theater. I have yet to ride RNRRC myself, maybe next time Loved the photos again"
Bip said she has never seen anything like that with the crowds in the theater. There is always next time, or the next time or...
Thanks for reading.

Kimmy - "Great pictures of Fantasmic! I'm surprised RNR was only a 40 minute wait.
No but when you got people who don't like lines then it is a problem. MZ mostly was the complainer. Also, that is what the sign said it could have been longer.
Thanks, I was happy a few came out ok.

tksbaskets - "I agree! Love the pictures. I'm enjoying the heck out of your trippie....back to page 3!"
Thank you. Glad you are enjoying it.


pooksma - "Thanks for the super fantasmic shots. We haven't seen it yet and your pics make me even more excited to do so!"
Thanks. It was an amazing show. You will not be disappointed.

I love that pic. the nice photopass guy took it for me with my camera. Nice job Photopass man.
Sorry it was only almost, I will have to try harder.
Only 1 more full day left so it is almost over.
I do need to go but I think I will be going in jan or Feb to purchase a DVC.

Ok so it is our last full day at WDW. But hey we will make the most of it.
Today is an Animal Kingdom day. It is also a divided up day with the cast.
AK - Me, Biff, EZ and MZ.
Mk - Bip, LL, DZ, and JM.

So originally Biff and I were going to Breakfastasuarus for an early park admission, however, the night before I canceled that. So we met at 8 am in the food court of POR.
So we all ate and it was good. Then we proceed to the bus.

We get to the park after a detour to the water park and we see this.

So we scan our fingers and proceed on through. I grab a map cause I have no idea where we are going.
We have 1 purpose right now and that is to get fp's for Everest., so we walk in that direction.

But first, OH MY!!!

It is really magnificient.

Ok going in the right direction.

Ooh I see it, i really see it.

it looks a little scary.

So we got out fp's and the time was for 11:05 - 12:05. We then decided to walk over ands take a ride on.

Along the way we passed.

So now we get in line and it says 10 minutes. What a nice queue it is for this ride.

I guess some people do this.

very nicely planned out all the decorations.

this little guy sprays u when your on the ride.

Ok so we board our raft and we go up the hill and then 2 minutes later we were going down a hill and then it was over. where is the ride. It is the shortest ride in the world. very disappointed.

So we leave the kali River Rafts and we come across these guys.

and then these 2.

So now we decided we will go and see if Dinosaur is busy. Along the way Biff decides to get a new job.

Ok that is all for now.

Next - dinosaur? Everest, pool and safari dinner.

If I did get your room you left it immaculate. Did you enjoy POR as much as I did?

 

[randy4au]

Another great update! I wasn't too disappointed about missing Kali River Rapids (due to our early departure from the park as I mentioned in my trip report) since I'd ridden similar rides at Six Flags Over Georgia and other theme parks. Glad to know we didn't miss much.

 

[donaldduck1967]

Oncs again great update and great pics. The Fantasmic boat pics came out really nice.

 

[shannon47142]

I'm in agony---did Biff ride EE ? If so, I can't wait to see a picture of his face

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

I'm loving your report, the pics are great! Your family looks like a great bunch of people. I love that first Splash Mountain picture, it was great. Looks like he is about to vomit I also think yoru Fantasmic pics were good, much better than the ones I ended up with.

Can't wait to read about the rest of your trip!

 

[Dixielady908]

Ok Scotty.....lets keep the report coming.....cant wait to hear about everest.....

I rode them at Six Flags in NJ and I thought i would really love the one in Disney. The theme was nice and great, just really short. I will do it again if it is a complete walk on.

Thank you.

Well you will have your answer soon.

I think the trip was great because of who went. We all had a blast. He said he was not about to vomit but was cursing at me for taking him on. i think he was gonna upchuck.
Fantasmic is very hard to photograph. I cannot wait to try again.

Dixielady908 - "Ok Scotty.....lets keep the report coming.....cant wait to hear about everest.....Denise"
It will be up soon. Hope you enjoy it.

So I am supposed to be WORKING on this computer this morning ---- but I needed a Disney fix (bad!)and your report definitely did the trick I have to say how *fabulous* your pics are! Love the commentary, too. I am almost sad to be caught up ... can't wait for more

 

[scottny]

So after we look at the monkey's we start walking over towards "Dinosaur".

So as we walk I take some more shots. AK is really a nice looking place.

Then we passed this.

No one wanted to see it. oh well maybe next time. If JM was there we would have.

Ok according to the sign it is to the left, to the left, everything you own in the box to the left. Oh sorry got a little wrapped up there. Everytime I hear left now I think of Beyonce's song.

So we continue on.

I feel like I am driving down I-95 and all the signs for "South of the Border" that is how I felt walking into Dino rama.

Hey up there.

it was a little crowded here.

Finally!!!!!!!!!

scary looking.

We are there.

As we walked through the queue a few things we saw.

Please close your mouth, that is rude.

This one is actually cute.

A case of different things.

I should take pics of the signs next to things.

Could this be why?

I liked the Earth so I clicked a pic.

rexxie, this one should eat a little more. LOL

So we get in out vehicle and proceed along the ride. It is very similar to Indy in Disneyland. Very nice ride then we get to the end.

Oh MZ, always scared on rides. LOL. He said he was protecting EZ. So of course I bought the pic. Biff seemed to enjoy it.

Now I will stop, i have to go to New Jersey and visit my mother. Maybe more tonight if not then tomorrow.

Up next - Everest, the other group in MK, Bip and LL in Epcot, pool and dinner.

Thanks for reading.
