AGLET – We're Gonna Tour The World Together! Updated 11/9!!!

[Nermel9]

Ahhhh I was too late! Well anyway, your ADR's look great! I can't wait to hear if you guys like Boatwrights, I'm curious about that place, I've heard it's actually really good!

 

[smile4stamps]

Wo-Hoo!! I actually had GFC written down but went with Kouzzina instead.

I was shocked to hear you were not doing any Signature dining but I guess that could be hard to fit in with everything else you will be doing!

 

[scottny]

nice choices for adsr's. I hope your Boatwright's adr is for an early time. We went there at 8:30 one night or 9 and the food seemed like it was the leftovers and they nuked it. Awful. But like I said I think it was the time.

Tonga Toast yum..

 

[SoNotAPrincess]

D'oh! I can't believe I didn't think of Boatwright's! It's one of my favorite Disney eatin' places...I highly recommend the cheesy grits!

 

[shan23877]

<--------Mad at self for getting too busy to play along.


Great dining choices! Will you share the planning trip as well (I hope so!!)?

I really am so excited to hear about it!

 

[emmysmommy]

Well, that was super fun! I feel pretty much like this --->> since I got all of your breakfast guesses correct!! Thanks for letting us play along!

Pretty exciting dining line up you have there!

 

[Fantasyland Mom]

I didn't have the mental acuity to play the game, but I did have a strong suspicious GF Cafe and Sanaa *might* be on there !

ADRs look great! Really. I'm hungry now.

 

[marDgreen88]

Well dang! I was going to guess La Hacienda, too! Thanks for the bonus point, ahha! Those places look great! That should be a lot of good eatin'.

I know what you mean by trying to figure out what will have the most re-wearability at home! Like, I'm not gonna spend $35 on a t-shirt to wear for one day at the parks. But sometimes I can't help but buy the over the top Disneyish shirts I know I'll mostly only wear at WDW. If it has tye dye, glitter, and/or least one neon color and MANY characters on it... I'll probably buy it. Sigh. I LOVE the sweatshirt Wingnut chose. You've got a good man there. If I find a guy who will wear that in public I'm not letting him go.

International Gateway rope drop looks so beautifully quaint. Though, the Toy Story Mania Mad Dash does have its own splendor (? ...or something). Btw I read in an earlier update that you guys aren't crazy about TSM. What a freeing feeling it must be to not be addicted to that ride. Like needle in the arm addicted. Which is what I am.

Wow, I LOVE YOU GUYS. You really just chill at Disney. First thing in the morning you head to the International Gateway and your first attraction is Living With the Land. This trip report is such a nice alternative to literally every other TR on this board.

Those are some awesome ADRs, and I love the pic of your shoes. I love colorful laces!

 

[annmarieda]

Awe, man! You game looked like fun and I missed it! Oh well...

Great restaurant choices!!! Boatwrights is always a favorite of mine... sadly it isn't on our adr list for the fall. I will have to live vicariously through you once you are back and doing a TR that details your wonderful dinning experience at Boatwrights.

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Awww I should have kept the game going a bit longer, but I definitely wanted to finish a bunch of other updates before our trip in October!

I'm really curious about Boatwrights too!!!

Wo-Hoo!! I actually had GFC written down but went with Kouzzina instead.

I was shocked to hear you were not doing any Signature dining but I guess that could be hard to fit in with everything else you will be doing!

Hahaha awww, we were deliberating about Kouzzina too!

Yeah, it would be too difficult, plus this time we're on the regular dining plan, not the deluxe, so we don't have a whole bunch of TS credits to use!

nice choices for adsr's. I hope your Boatwright's adr is for an early time. We went there at 8:30 one night or 9 and the food seemed like it was the leftovers and they nuked it. Awful. But like I said I think it was the time.

Tonga Toast yum..

Thanks!!! Uh oh, that's not good to hear! Yes, our ADR is pretty early, hopefully our experience is better than yours was!!

D'oh! I can't believe I didn't think of Boatwright's! It's one of my favorite Disney eatin' places...I highly recommend the cheesy grits!

Hahaha it is a bit of a more random one I though! Mmmm cheesy grits sound good!!

<--------Mad at self for getting too busy to play along.


Great dining choices! Will you share the planning trip as well (I hope so!!)?

I really am so excited to hear about it!

Awww it was only up for a few days, not very long!!

Yes, I will!!!

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Thanks for playing along!!! Great breakfast guesses!!! Yeah, I'm excited about our meals this time around!!

I didn't have the mental acuity to play the game, but I did have a strong suspicious GF Cafe and Sanaa *might* be on there !

ADRs look great! Really. I'm hungry now.

Awww you should have played, so far you would have gotten at least 2 correct!!

Hahaha I'm eating breakfast as I type this, actually. (Nutella between 2 warmed-up tortillas - yum!)

Well dang! I was going to guess La Hacienda, too! Thanks for the bonus point, ahha! Those places look great! That should be a lot of good eatin'.

Aww anytime!! It should be! I'm excited!!

Hahaha I'm always trying to find the most wear-ability at home too!!! It's hard, the glittery neon shirts are so tempting sometimes!!

DF is DEFINITELY a good man (and not just because of his sweatshirt taste!) - you are very right!

It really is quaint! Much quieter than any other rope drop I've ever seen! Hahaha yeah, TSM just wasn't our style, I guess! We really aren't "race around the park" kind of people - a slightly brisk walk is about the fastest you'll get out of us! Awww thanks!!!

Awe, man! You game looked like fun and I missed it! Oh well...

Awww I'm sorry you missed it!!!

I'm glad to hear you like Boatwrights!! I will definitely report back about our experience there!

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

After our spin on Living with the Land, we went over to The Seas to visit Nemo (and friends) one more time for this trip.

Although I do think that the queue for Nemo is pretty awesome and detailed, does it really have to be so long? And winding? Honestly, what was the longest wait you’ve ever been in for Nemo, because ours probably tops at around one minute (not including the hike to get to the clamshells).

So with that in mind, it made it even more funny when we were handed this at the beginning of the queue:



("If you pause to check out the queue, you'll mess up the 5 minute wait time sign! Keep walking!")

After the ride, we perused the gift shop for a bit, where I found this little guy, AKA my souvenir regret for this trip (well, that and the black-and-white little Mickey plush, not sure why I liked the stuffed animals so much this time around!).





Isn’t he the cutest??? I love the Mine fish!

(Of course, given the Laws of Disney Merchandising, these will be NOWHERE to be found come October…and then EVERYWHERE in November. )

Wingnut knows how much I love Figment. So he is willing to go on the ride around 3 times a trip.



He tried playing with this wall after the ride, but it didn't seem to be working.



Clearly, we were choosing the most popular attractions this morning:



We decided to cut through Innovations to get to the other side of Future World (warmth!), and stumbled across the Timeline of Epcot.







Yay Illuminations!!!! (And okay, yay for Norway too.)



I really did think the Millennium celebration in Epcot was really awesome. The Millennium village, PLUS the Tapestry of Nations parade???? Seriously, one of my favorite things from Disney ever. However, I did think that the giant 2000 on Spaceship Earth was a bit overkill..



Thankfully, that's gone.



Around this time, we had an approximately 43 minute gap until we had to start walking over to World Showcase for our lunch ADR.

Knowing that DF had been ever-so-patient with going on Figment multiple times, so I may as well offer to go on one of his favorite rides twice.

“Do you want to go over to Ellen?” I asked, knowing what his answer would be.

“OKAY!!!” I certainly did not have to ask twice. His face lit up, and he started walking faster in the direction of Universe of Energy?

As we neared the ride, I stopped at a kiosk across the pathway to buy a bottle of water. Wingnut waited for me, but he stayed across the path close to the entrance of the ride, probably not wanting me to get any fancy ideas about going somewhere else.

Sigh. Nope, I’m here, don’t worry.



Happily, this time around, we got a seat for the preshow, in another jam-packed attraction of that morning.



43 seated and air-conditioned minutes later, we were back into the Floridian sunshine, and despite having a big breakfast only a few hours earlier, ready for our lunch ADR at Le Cellier!

En route:



We'll stop here for now.

 

[Mrs T 2009]

Wow! You sure picked hoppin and popular rides! Hahahhahaha

Knowing that you are going to le Cellier in your update makes me excited for out trip because we just attained an ADR for there- we were surprised!!!

 

[MEK]

Happily, this time around, we got a seat for the preshow, in another jam-packed attraction of that morning.

Phew - How did you even take a deep breath with all those people surrounding you?

I thought of you when I rode Figment in June and you will be happy to know I took a bunch of pictures (shock, I know ).

 

[Fantasyland Mom]

Julia has asked to go on Universe of Energy this trip. I warned her of the length. She insists. The only videos I've seen of parts of it is too dark and I can't tell what's going on. SO WHAT IS GOING ON??? Please let me know so that I can nix it if need be.

Your morning of touring is perfection to me. Also, we've never stopped in the gift shop at The Seas, but I'm sure we'll be dropping a pretty penny in there this time. My kids have become obsessed! (Okay, me, too.) What can I say? They want all things Ellen...fish and energy.

 

[smile4stamps]

We didn't ride half the things in FW at Epcot last time... No Living with the Land, no Figment, no Universe of Energy. We DID ride Nemo though!!

I'm planning to change that this time! I have goals to ride everything that is open!! Well I correct that! I don't feel like being sick the entire day so I think I will skip Mission Space!

 

[shan23877]

I didn't even know that Nemo had a wait time sign!

Too bad that you having souvie regrets. Buying something online from home just isn't the same.

You guys should plan days for people wanting to avoid crowds! At least you had some breathing room!

Can't wait to hear what you thought of Le Cellier. I'm bummed that I didn't get us there before it became 2 credits for lunch too.

 

[Nermel9]

OMG those stuffed "Mine" seagulls are adorable! Don't worry, they probably won't be around in November either, because if I want something, it's usually gone!

I always forget about that Epcot timeline, probably because I'm not sure if I've ever even set food inside Innoventions! But I really want to see the timeline, because you know, I'm kind of obsessed with Epcot!

I really need to see the Universe of Energy someday...I just wish it wasn't so long!

Yay Le Cellier!!

 

[__disneygirl]

("If you pause to check out the queue, you'll mess up the 5 minute wait time sign! Keep walking!")

hahaha. And how quickly are you supposed to walk? I usually walk VERY briskly through that queue, but if I had the responsibility of reporting an accurate wait time, maybe I would walk at a more moderate pace. So many questions.

The Tapestry of Nations parade was amazing! I was 10 when the wand went up on Spaceship Earth, and I thought it was cool, but now I'm just like... what in the world was the point of that hideous thing on my precious iconic Epcot symbol????

hahaha Ellen twice in one trip. I made my parents do that when I was about 12. I looooooved Ellen. Still do! I remember my dad being so annoyed we were spending more time there instead of World Showcase. Oops.
