BE's Never Ending TR -- That kind of ... Ended? Or did it?

[tdashgirl]

OMG, I had no idea about the Mardi Gras stuff! If we do make it in February, they'll be doing it that weekend

So funny, I think I was reading in MousePlanet's weekly update that DLR is not doing a good job promoting the Family Fun stuff - since it's tucked away in the old Hunchback festival arena a lot of guests think it's a private event But it sounds like the Mardi Gras stuff is in NOS. So that will definitely be noticed

I made it!

Well, I actually made it yesterday afternoon in plenty of time to check out the FFW thing! It was fun and I'm a little sad I'm going to miss next weekend: The 7 Dwarfs, Clopin & Esmerelda, Clarabelle and Horace Horsecollar, and Donald and Daisy Duck will be out and about! But it was fun to see everyone in their cowboy/cowgirl gear. And I did get to see Clarabelle and Daisy Duck as well.

But the highlight? Staying at the DLH last night!! Amazing.

Oh, really?! I had no idea the Mardi Gras stuff would be in NOS. I thought they would keep in the same area that they've been doing them. It's kind of nice that they don't push it so much. It makes it easier to enjoy what's there for those of us who know about it and want to check it out. So many times there was nobody in line for some characters and Pluto for one would be so excited for company.

Duffy is very excited to share his photos!!

Hey, Michele!! The DLH was amazing. I am in love with their renovated rooms.

I shall pass on the birthday wishes! Although I promised I wouldn't say it out loud again, lol.

Oh I can hardly wait to hear about them.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

And can't wait to hear about the Space Mountain experience! So exciting that you went on it!

Happy birthday to Jason!

 

[Belle Ella]

Oh I can hardly wait to hear about them.

And see! I didn't get too many photos, mostly just accent pieces in the room. When we went back yesterday I was so exhausted I just passed out. All photos came while trying to pack up again this morning.

It was so fun. I didn't realize how short it was. But loved it. It was the last thing we did last night but I made us go on again. I figured twice in a row was OK, lol. Couldn't do it too much today though. I have had a killer headache since I woke up. Roller coasters and headaches make your brain feel like scrambled eggs!!

I am curious to see how much the rooms have changed.

I know what you mean. I had a pretty big headache on the day we went to Six Flags, and going on all those huge roller coasters did not help.

But glad you had a good time on Space. It is a fairly short ride, but still so awesome. How did you like not knowing where you're going? Lol.

I will be sure to post everything I took! It may be a while. I still have a few days from earlier in the month to get through first.

Yeah, we had done BTMRR earlier and it was horrible. Stopped by First Aid for some Tylenol but it didn't knock it out completely. 4 times all in all between yesterday and today. And I bought the photo for my first ride!

I am totally patient. I can wait.

That will be a great souvenir! 4 times is still quite a bit. I think we made it on about 6 in the five days we were there, but we didn't like the Ghost Galaxy version as much as the original, so it wasn't our favourite. Our favourite actually ended up being ToT, probably mostly because of the theme.

Sucks that the headache didn't go away though. They can come at such inconvenient times. Hopefully next time you can enjoy it without one.

Famous last words!

I guess now I'll have to give Ghost Galaxy a try when I'm there in October. But I really loved Space. I could go on it a few times a day, I'm sure. But I'm a girl who went on BTMRR 4 times in a row and probably 8 times all in that same day total.

I'm pretty sure it was just the exhaustion. I usually have a headache on a Monday and that's with me getting more sleep on Sunday than I did this time around. I left home at 9a!! But I really wanted to make it for FFW.

Ugh. Totally disappointed though. HM was totally just ... off! And I was so so so looking forward to riding the real version again. But half the time we didn't get any of the audio. It made me want to cry. I was speaking the parts we missed all to myself.

Oh that sucks about the sounds on the HM. That is such an important part of all the Disney rides.

Especially one you had built up in your head so much because you finally get to go on the real version for the first time in over a year when you've been on practically everything else a bajillion times since.

Let's see ... the hitch-hiking ghosts part either got cut off or didn't happen at all as well as everything after that. The 999 happy haunts as well but I wonder if that was more because there was nobody in that hallway and so you could walk straight through all fast-like. The part leading up to Madame Leota as well.

Sigh. I hope I enjoy it more in March. I even wore my HM shirt today!

March is not too far away thank goodness. The power went out on it in June more than once.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

That's gotta be a little disappointing. Hopefully it's working properly next time you go.

Unfortunately I think we might not be able to go as soon as we hoped. I'm not sure how long it's going to take for my disability money to start coming in, and I might need to use some of the money we have saved for bills. So I am thinking it's not going to happen like we hoped.

But we should be able to go hopefully sometime after the baby, hopefully. It won't cost us too much more to have the little one with us, I don't think, but we'll see how that works out. Sigh.

But I will live vicariously through your trips, since you have a lot planned for the year!

 

[Belle Ella]

Home sweet home. And. I. Am. Exhausted. Who's brilliant idea was it to spend so much time in my car in such a short period of time?

Oh yeah. It was mine.

Not to say I regret it. I would have done it again in a heartbeat but it doesn't change the fact that I am exhausted.

 

[tdashgirl]

for the DLH!!!! Love that hotel.

I totally get this. That's the bummer about the HM overlay (which I actually like) - if you do October - December trips (my FAVORITE times to visit DLR) - you don't get to see the original!

If you've managed Space Mountain and loved it, you can take on anything. I see Tower of Terror in your future! And Splash - have you done that yet? You will love that, I think - because it's very 'Disney' inside the ride. Even I have done Splash - and I hate all of those Mountain rides!!

In any case, I lost track - did you already make your HoJo's reservations for later this year (or were you planning on doing it soon)? If you haven't, read the thread on the main DL forum about the new cancellation policy (which is rather extreme) for the HoJo's ET rate bookings. It won't affect any rooms that have already been booked at the ET rate before today, but it will affect the ET rate bookings from here on out. It's already quite controversial.

Also, all of Critter Country will be closed until at least early March!! Did you know this? I just found out. Not just Splash will be closed! The whole land will be closed until at least early March, when Hungry Bear reopens. When has a whole land closed before? They didn't even close down all of Fantasyland back when they revamped it before 1983 or whatever it was.

Madness, I tell you! Madness!
