Booked a month off, part 2!

[Shir Kahn]

Way back, a long time ago, I started the trip report you can see in my signature and swore that this time, I would finish it! With a healthy dose of procrastination, real life issues, laziness and post Disney depression, I almost made it all the way to us actually getting into one of the parks before I mysteriously vanished! I am finally back however, ready to continue this thing to the end. I'm sure a few of the details will be a bit fuzzy by now, but as this is primarily a pictorial trip report, that shouldn't be too much of an issue.

For those who haven't read/looked at my previous attempts, I post a ton of pictures with some comments under some of them. I include every single picture no matter how fuzzy, low quality, weird angle or "3000th shot of the Epcot ball" they are. So off we go! I'm going to continue on from the last picture in the other closed trip report that I have linked in my signature.

Yeah, you guys all sit here and stay away from the Dole Whip line!

I really like these false fronts when they're renovating something, very cool.

We eat here at least once per trip, Tammy has to have her Winnie the Pooh fix!

This is almost always the very first ride we go on when we get to Disneyworld.

Got dark fast! (or maybe I didn't take many pictures in the next hour or two!)

I love this ride, absolutely love it. Strange, I know...

I loved the way the moon looked in these next few pictures.

Busiest I'd ever seen the ferry, but then again, the monorails weren't running that night.

Tammy wanted me to take a picture inside the cabin, but I don't think it worked too well.

The rest of the family has arrived!

Back to MK!

Stuck in a sheltered area with a Brazilian tour group that started chanting the moment they noticed they weren't going anywhere. Hurray!

As usual, the downpour from nowhere! We were so close to the lightning, it was a bit scary. And, as per the norm, we forgot to bring our ponchos and ended up spending cash on another set. I don't know how many times we've done this, but I'm sure the Disney Corporation loves us!

 

[Shir Kahn]

I um, meant to do this.

I tried taking a few shots of the castle from a high point on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, didn't work so well.

Beautiful picture isn't it?

and one to match!

er, how long is this anyway?

A picture from just outside our room.

Not really a Coke fan, but I like the machine!

 

[Shir Kahn]

Just pretend you're drunk for this one!

This was taken from inside the bug eye mask by the Tree of Life

Festival of the Lion King is absolutely amazing. The tumble monkeys are my favorite!

This server was fantastic, one of the best we've seen at WDW. I wish I could remember her name.

One of my all-time favorites!

We came back to our room to find this little guy! Must have taken it forever to get up here! (unless of course somebody helped, but I hope that isn't the case!)

Push! Amazingly entertaining!

I love this "hidden" path, hardly anyone ever uses it, at least when we go down it we rarely see anyone.

Great spot to take pictures of the trains!

This is actually a fun little rollercoaster! Even for adults!

 

[Shir Kahn]

Guess what we forgot to bring, yet again...

I'm still really annoyed they changed this ride, I think the Jeremy Irons version was way better. I guess it might depend on when you first rode the ride. Some people think that the Walter Cronkite version was the best. But you know they're all nuts!

I am completely incapable of keeping a straight face for the camera on this ride!

I love these window illusions!

I have no idea what the heck this thing was!

 

[Shir Kahn]

Now normally I take tons of pictures of food, but this trip I found myself forgetting at most of the restaurants, I did get a fair amount though!

I'm a big fan of the Sci-Fi, I know it's gets a lot of negative reviews, but we love it.

When we saw the Indy show, we knew to go to the front row at the end to possibly say hi to some of the stars, I happened to see one of the stage hands walking by with the golden idol and asked if he would mind a picture. I actually just meant taking a picture of him, but all of a sudden he says "sure!" and hands me the idol! I picked my jaw up off the floor and got a picture of Tim with it while Tammy got my picture! Tammy has about a couple thousand pictures that I'll be uploading after mine are all up, so you'll have to wait for the pictures with me and the idol!

These people are absolutely hilarious. You MUST find them at some point during your trip. There are a lot of different ones throughout the park, so chances are you'll find them. Definitely worthwhile taking time out of your day to watch/interact with.

Managed to convince Len that he had to try this coaster! We were in the single rider line to save time.

Can't wait to see the revamp of this ride! Once they get it done of course.

Taking pictures of characters with other peoples families is my specialty!

Tim and Tammy loved the Kim Possible missions!
