A Very Lurkyloo Christmas is FINISHED! New 3/16: Last Day of the Trip!

[lurkyloo]

We were lucky enough to stumble on the then-new Princess Tiana’s Bayou Jamboree, or whatever it was called, and Nathensey dutifully shot the hell out of it for us… Thanks, Nathensey!


Ah yes, “Showboat Jubliee”… that’s what it was called…

According to the list, next we rode Pirates and Pirates. No doubt a good time was had by all.

Patrick *adores* this diorama in the loading area for Pirates and he can never get a good shot of it. Nathensey to the rescue!

Wow – I never realized how rasty-looking that DogAmatronic is!

On the way out we stopped in at the Pirates League to check out the elaborate theming.

As usual, if there’s an adorable kid around, the Roots will find him… even if he’s in disguise!

Patrick…

…What Patrick was shooting

 

[lurkyloo]

On the way to the Haunted Mansion, we discovered one of Patrick’s favorite things at the Magic Kingdom: an empty parade route!

Yeah, I think those people got a little extra bang for their Disney buck that day…

Guess where we are now!

Just guess!

The last ride we rode together was Mickey’s Philharmagic. I do like it, but I’m still not quite seeing “favorite attraction” written all over it…

Ah, stroller parking…. I’ll bet this brings back a lot of memories for all you former CMs…

Up Next: I make good on that “water park weather” teaser from the last update!

Oh the 1st to post after a very picture meaty update!!

I think Roots could make a picture of dog poop look great! If I ever have a VR in FL or the money to have them 'come on vacation with us', they will be my 1st (and only) choice!

Is Patrick wearing a "Disneyland" sweatshirt on Disney WORLD? Aren't there rules? Then again I guess he is more a rules breaker, Mr Parade himself!


Reading TR (esp yours) makes me so excited for our trip in Sept. All planning is done, ADRs made, so now I ahve the next 5 month to sit and way, and I am not a patient person, so it is killing me! Reading TR makes the time pass more quickly! Thanks!

Loved the update, especially Patrick in the parade!

 

[Aburns8]

Those are some of the best photographs I have ever seen of the Magic Kingdom. The pictures of Pirates were amazing! Disney should hire the Roots to do all of their photography!

 

[orangecats2]

Great update! I wonder how the Roots make all their pictures such good quality color. It's just so great.

 

[KristinAnne]

Wow, the Roots take great pictures. It's awesome that you got to be such good friends through your wedding. As usual, I love your TR!

 

[DisneyFirefly]

God, I thought commercials were bad... Your pics (I LOVE the Roots, and if I do ever have a Disney wedding like I want to, I'm so hiring them) make me miss WDW even more I'm going down in January, but it's not soon enough, you know? I've been sort of pricing a quick trip in October, but god only knows if that'll happen

 

[jwwi]

Now that was some great evening eye candy, wow those pictures are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us.

Look below, yes, I have a ticker for DL, feel free to give me any tips you feel I should have. BTW, do you have any DL trip reports?

 

[cdotla]

Oh, God the Roots. Wow...I am just blownaway by those photos.

And Patrick in the parade route...good golly! Forgot how much fun he is. Geez I miss you guys...hafta get back to LA!

 

[A-T-G]

I'm drooling over those pics! So great! And etra thanks for posting pics of Patrick marching down the parade route. It is a relief to learn I am not the only one!

 

[burly]

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!
i would like to have all your pictures in a slow rotating desktop montage(sp?)....so i can sit and watch and sigh...

 

[LittleStinkerbelle]

Fantastic pics! Love Patrick's DIY parade.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Love all the pics! Patrick in the parade - You two are so fun!

 

[Chilly]

Wonderful photos by the Roots.

 

[MA pigletfan]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the update(s)!!! Great shots...although i have to say my favorite series of shots were the "Patrick Parade" ones...hilarious!

 

[aharbin88]

I just bet if Johnny Depp were to see those pictures of his animatronic sitting in that chair at the end of Pirates, he'd frame them and hang them in his house! The Roots really should send them to him somehow.

I have decided that when I win the lottery, I'm going to hire a full-time hair stylist, dental hygienist, and Roots-quality photographers to live with me and be at my beck and call. Where's the lottery fairy when you need him?

Best pictures EV-AR!

Tell Patrick my marching band is looking for a new majorette!

 

[Disneygrl36]

Pattick makes a one man parade look pretty darn exciting.
