Blizzard Beach Do Over - "The Bestest Day Ever!!!! HORRAY FOR HOLLYWOOD! NEW 06/12 Pg 19 and 20

[MAGICFOR2]

Tammy, I am finding it very hard to get here the last couple of weeks.

I could not see the reveal pictures...not sure why. But what fun...a DL trip.

I LOVE the Baymax shot in front of Space Mountain.

No Dumbo????

Love the Seven Dwarfs Mine ride and your photo on it.

I'm surprised Pecos Bills let you sit down before you got your food. That was strictly forbidden the day we went (no biggie to me as I won't go back...not a fan of the place at all).

Looks like everyone enjoyed Pirates and Splash Mountain.

Your family is very smart picking Plaza Ice Cream over Dole Whips...I wasn't a fan of them.

That's okay, Kathy - I have a hard time keeping up too. It feels like some of us have lost our enthusiasm right now for sure. We have been there before.

Thanks - everyone seems to have the sun on them in that shot. I think it was Imagineering.

We have always done Pecos that way with kids. Too hard to have them hanging on to each leg while balancing a tray and being jostled left and right - it is hard enough with one adult and a tray. I did see a little lady standing there, looking like she wanted to say something, but Jim might have given her "the look."

I agree, I like DW, but sometimes it is just a little too sweet.

Love the MK morning. Way to go to with the yellow bands. Sorry you got off with the mine train FP+ Looks like you really made the best of the morning.

We did make the best of our time - I think you can always choose to do that, no matter what happens.

I am going to guess Mickey Ears.

Your guess is recorded!

Yes! Mostly at me.

I can't get any smilies right now - so sorry if this resembles anyone

Looks like it!



Tried. Failed. Will try again on another computer, hang on...
Worked!
Especially like the Baymax (is that his name?) photobomb. Never seen the movie, but the video was funny!

Yep, Baymax. That was a fun surprise! The movie is much better than you'd expect - bring the tissues.

Sorry buddy. Next time!



Mason looks a little perturbed.







Whoops!



What a great shot! Especially of you, Dana and Mason.

Thank you!





That's the only picture you really need to get anyway.



That was a choice???? Dang! I somehow missed that!

Nice to see more healthy choices on the menu.

As do I!



Never been. I really should check it out.

Yes you should once.

Poor guy. MK will do that to anyone, not just from being on Xanax.



Oh my gosh! What did they do?!?!?

They were accused of booking too many FP - thereby having too much fun!

More for the rest of us!

Well they never seem to run out!

Hi Tammie! I forgot to sub in, so got behind here, but I am totally caught up now and loved reading about the boys' first RD. How fun for them!

Loved seeing your DISMeet with Pat and Marv, and loved that you got a Lapu! YUM! O'hana was pretty good, but I think I'll try other places before I go back again.

Ok, now I'll sub in, and not miss too much more!

Hi Leisa! I'm gad you made your way back over here. I'll try to get an update in this weekend. I took so long to post, I think I lost everyone Jim loves Ohana! There are so many places to try, but we seem to keep repeating the ones we've liked in the past. You will have a busy Summer, with your new job - but I guess busy is what you do!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

HERE I AM! ARE YOU SHOCKED? I ACTUALLY HAVE AN UPDATE!!!

WHAT CLASSIC ITEMS WILL WE FIND MASON HOLDING IN OUR NEXT CHAPTER? Answer coming up!


After having our sweet treat, the castle show was still playing, so we got a closer look.












This cute couple started dancing to “A Dream is a Wish…” when Cindy came out. So sweet.





Someone needed a little nap.


We stopped to take some PP pics at the castle






The photographer timed this one just so...



and gave us a magic pic


Okay, I need to get to bed, but I am finally making some headway with these photos, so I will be back tomorrow - last chance to guess what classic items Mason will be holding....

Awww....

Someone needed a little nap.

Double awww.....
Disney does that to you, no?

Great photos!
And I'll stick with my guess.

 

[KatMark]

What a fun update. We saw the castle show in May too (first time I've stopped in years and years for it).

Great photopass pics of the family in front of the castle (especially like that the PP caught the one with the fireworks; we got those one year too).

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Double awww.....
Disney does that to you, no

I often wish someone would push me around in a stroller while I take a little cat nap. Oops - I guess that's in my future....

Great photos!
And I'll stick with my guess.

Thanks!
Sorry, I can't find your guess, so I'm going to wait for your answer - could you please buzz in and phrase it in a question????

Thanks, Kathy! I was really happy with these pics! We were pleasantly surprised to be there right at that time, and for her to take the time to make it happen!


Okay, not to play favs, but someone here thinks he guessed, or he did and I can't find it. So I will wait for a response before finishing this chapter. Anyone else want to chime in???

<Bzzzzz!> "What are Mickey ears?"

(And I looked back... could've sworn I'd already said that. Guess not.)

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

All caught up!

How do they pass on Dole Whips?? Are you related to these people?

Looks like a pretty fun day in MK so far.

I KNOW! Obviously a little un-Disney.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I will post all the contest answers and points next time - for now:


we headed over to Tomorrowland and went for a drive! Mason and I giggled our heads off – he was driving and could not seem to keep the gas going, so I took over the pedals without much more success, and he was over steering so we were bumping into the track over and over, while the car would hardly move. We didn’t win the race, but we had a good time trying!




This picture says we rode the train around - I do remember it was from Frontierland to Tomorrowland - just not sure when




Then a little shopping was in order.



And a little treat





We tied the balloons to a chair in the living room, and turned on the ceiling fan, and it kept the motion sensor for the A/C going for the week!

We went through the shops - I bought a few things at the Emporium - I will update that later - I bought an Orange bird pitcher and juice glasses, and a couple of Adventureland wine glasses and Jim found a couple of pins.



And it was time to say good-bye once again to Magic Kingdom! One last glance back



We stopped to take a pic of this while it was empty, and of course people made a beeline for it and stood on it for awhile as soon as I put up the camera. We finally captured it (kind of).



Someone else was ready for a nap



And the classic pic? No PP magic needed




Next: I will say we ate dinner at the resort - can you guess what we had? 10 pts on the line!

 

[KatMark]

Great pics of the last part of your day at the MK. Those race cars never seem to work properly (personally, I'd like to see them get rid of it and add Carsland attraction there).

Great balloon pictures and a napping little boy.

Too bad you couldn't get the full Magic Kingdom photo without "feet" in it.

A boy, a lollipop and balloons...doesn't get better than that.

I'm going with Grilled Cheese sandwiches.

:
I wouldn't be caught dead on that ride.
Been there done that.
But I like how you and Mason had fun with it!

Now that's a cute pic.

And a little treat

nom nom nom

We tied the balloons to a chair in the living room,

Strapped the boys in and let them go!

and turned on the ceiling fan, and it kept the motion sensor for the A/C going for the week!

Oh.
Well, that's good too I suppose.

We stopped to take a pic of this while it was empty, and of course people made a beeline for it and stood on it for awhile as soon as I put up the camera.

Of course.
"Hey everyone! Someone's taking a photo! Let's all run over and see what it is!!"

Someone else was ready for a nap

Good Lord! How is that possible? Is his head still attached?
That pillow looks more like it was hindering instead of helping.

And the classic pic? No PP magic needed

Very nice!

Next: I will say we ate dinner at the resort - can you guess what we had? 10 pts on the line!

Everyone had the same thing?
Well, that rules out resort restaurants, I think.
So I'll go with something fairly easy.
Pasta.
(If I need to be pinned down, spaghetti with tomato based sauce.)

 

[dizneeat]

I am all caught up here too!

The picture of the little one sleeping in the buggy is too cute and the one of your grandson with the balloons in front of the railway station is a definite keeper!

 

[mjmstd1]

Joining in!
Love your report! I agree with the previous poster....the picture of your grandson with the balloons is so neat!
Can't wait to read more!

Hi Karin! Nice to have you caught up. Thanks for the compliments. I live how that classic "kid at Disney" moment just happened.

Joining in!
Love your report! I agree with the previous poster....the picture of your grandson with the balloons is so neat!
Can't wait to read more!

Thank you for reading! That moment was great to capture. I hope to have another chapter up by the end of the week.

Balloons and lollipops - what's not to like about this update?

Those kids look like they are having a fantastic time!

Great PP pictures of the whole gang, particularly the one with the castle fireworks in the background!

I know I love how that pic turned out! They were at MK what else can I say?

Thank you I was really happy with it, too

Cute photo!

Now that's a neat trick. I wouldn't have thought of that!

This happens to us all the time!

Oh man, I'm terrible at this. Pizza?

 

[eandesmom]

I am all caught up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness, I am a bit dizzy with your FP's. So if I understand this correctly, you had yellow MB's from a camp site night you didn't use, but paid for, and those MB's were still good with a day of FP's you could use? Was the date during this trip? So essentially you bought a day of FP's that reservation? Interesting. I hadn't even thought of that. To be honest we've done pretty well with FP+ and I like not having to run around, knowing what we do have to count on, and what we can try to add but my kids are older, or they aren't a long and we just tour differently these days I think.

Love your villa location, lovely view. How frustrating about the balloon not going up but it looks like you made good use of the time. Love the DL trip reveal, super cute idea!

Lovely pictures, too many to comment on but those kids are darn cute, all 7 of them!
