You mean we have to wait until you get there 2 whole days after us before we can go to check out the new fantasyland expansion?????

You may just have to be patient!

 

[scottny]

Maybe you should switch to decaf. LOL
Nice Little Mermaid pics.
All caught up.

I'm thinking it may well have been a sign that I should change to decaf.

I am happy to report that I'm all caught up! I really wasn't very far behind... and I had to skip your New Fantasyland update, but I say I'm caught up anyway! You're cracking me up as usual!

It's really not too bad going over Thanksgiving. If you've been there during Spring Break, Summer, or the Holidays it's pretty comparable. The biggest thing is to get to the parks early, because people are lazy and don't get up early. Hahaha!

Girl, make your drink list! And share it! I can make many suggestions.

This is good to know! I am definitely a Rope Drop gal so that is always the plan-unless we do a late EMH! We went at Spring Break this past March and July...July was the W.O.R.S.T to me! But we were able to skirt the crowds so it was okay. I think if we go in expecting the worse which we are used to then we will be okay! My 180 day mark is tomorrow and I am ready to make my ADRs! Crazy the things that get us excited!!

I loved the Little Mermaid ride. I have read so many complaints from people stating their disappointment! I can't compare to DL's version but I loved DW's and the queue was great!!!

I am taking notes on your drinks for my list!

Glad you're all caught up. I completely forgot to post a spoiler alert for you before my FLE update!

July is rough. Go figure why we're going back again, right?

I love making ADR's at 180 days! It's one of the most exciting parts of it. I love the Little Mermaid too. I think the ride is great.

We left off having just taken a ride Under the Sea with Ariel. Thankfully, we came through just fine, as Jeni and I are experts at breathing underwater. Bet you didn't know that about us?

At this point we decided that we would go to Storybook Circus. I hadn't seen this yet, so I was excited.



Woof, that's some glare.



We decided to hop in line for Dumbo. I hadn't been on Dumbo in quite some time, and now the line was only 10 minutes! That never happens. I'm just saying.



This picture cracks me up. Jeni was like "I'm taking a picture in the Dumbo!" So she hops in, and off to the side there are these kids waiting to get in the Dumbo to mess around. They were seriously giving her the dirtiest looks because she was taking her sweet time in the Dumbo. Her face just makes me laugh, because she's just like "yup....I'm in a Dumbo....and you're waiting until I'm done!!!"



I really like the new open queue idea. I think it's a good way to keep the kids entertained while they're waiting. We paused to take a look while I tried to get a good picture of the Dumbo flying around the ceiling. I failed on the good picture part.



We hopped on and grabbed our Dumbo! Double Dumbo, Double Dumbo!



Awwww....aren't we cute?



Ummmm. I take it back.



First person perspective. You totally think you're in a Dumbo now, don't you!?





The ride was lots of fun, of course. And it helps that we're essentially kids anyway! I'm glad that there are two Dumbos now, because the line just seems more manageable.

After that, we decided to head over to meet Donaldo and Goofini! No wait time folks.

Can I just comment that I just noticed something. This picture of Pete.....



Toot and plunk. Anybody remember the cartoon? With a toot and a whistle and a plunk and a boom? I used to watch that one all the time when I was a kid! And now I have it stuck in my head. Watch if you dare by clicking on the link below....and good on Disney with the obscure references in the park!

Toot Whistle Plunk Boom

Goofy was tons of fun! He was all about kissing my hand and having a good time. My face is hysterical. I'm all like "yup. I'm with Goofy. What you gonna do about it?!"



And now I look like I'm in a pageant!



Now on to Donald. Who was a little meh if I'm being honest. You're my favorite man! Pick it up!!!!

You can tell I'm like "you're boring!"





It was lots of fun to meet them and we're definitely going to meet them again in July, along with Minnie and Daisy.

Up next: Buzz....buzz....buzz.....score!

[DisneyKid4Life]

Oh my that is too comical with the Dumbo picture. Wait your turn kiddies!!

It's so odd to me that Donald and Goofy never seem to have a long wait. I guess everybody wants princesses and fairies now.

 

[Tracy161]

I have LOTS of catching up to do... but I'm IN!!!

OK, did I really not know about this TR?! Joining in now!

I am constantly telling kids to wait their turn in WDW.

Everyone wants Princesses and Fairies! Because I've never had to wait long for Mickey either. I mean come on people! It's Mickey!

I have LOTS of catching up to do... but I'm IN!!!

Glad you're here!

Keep it to yourself woman!

No worries, I'm glad you're here Sarah.

 

[DVCWDWMEMBER]

Okay, Okay I will keep it to myself

 

[teekathepony]

I love the double Dumobs! Shorter lines for the win! Jeni taking her good ole time in the Dumbo is cracking me up too.
I'm watching that cartoon now. I need to educate myself for my next trip, you know.
Your Goofy pictures are adorable! Too bad Donald wasn't really fun.

 

[MeMom]

I didn't 'meet and greet', but I did go right when they first opened one morning in March to get pictures of the sideshow characters. It's always fun to get characters in new/different outfits.

Me too!

That cartoon was a huge part of my childhood. We used to watch it all the time. My mom was great, used to record things off of TV for us so we could watch them later.

I didn't 'meet and greet', but I did go right when they first opened one morning in March to get pictures of the sideshow characters. It's always fun to get characters in new/different outfits.

I was surprised that the line was so short. We don't meet and greet often (without the kids), but it was fun.

 

[PopArtGal]

I'm so jealous that Jenni can sleep in a plane. Like you, I can't!

 

[PopArtGal]

I hope you are doing well.

I'm sorry I'm late to join in.

I also loved the "under the sea ride". But I wouldn't wait hours for it.

Isn't the "going under the sea" effect cool?
