Cheers to Friendship! Oct 2012 Girls Weekend! NEW 4/13 Pg.10 - THE END

[DisMomAmy]

Finally it was time to conquer our fourth park! On the bus to MK:

Our hope was to find the New Fantasyland open for dress rehearsals! We were thrilled to find it open!

And Under the Sea was open too! The line was all the way outside but we hopped in line anyways!

Just then, Wishes started! It was really magical to be in line for a brand new attraction watching Wishes fly overhead!

The details in the queue were amazing! See the shell down there:

There were some fun interactive elements that you can't really see in these pictures.

If you look closely at the picture above, you can see water on Heidi's shirt. Under the Sea is in the area that they spray down before and during Wishes. There were sprinklers going off that would get us from time to time while we were in the outside portion of the queue.

Finally we were in the inside portion of the queue at Under the Sea:

The queue seemed to twist & turn and go on & on… but finally we saw the clammobiles!

I didn't take any pictures inside the ride. I think we all just wanted to enjoy it! I believe we took pictues when we went back the next day.

We visited Gaston’s next:

We also got to check out Be Our Guest:

My poor attempt at a panoramic photo:

I’m not sure we did much else at MK that night… those are all of the pictures I have. Plus our Photopass proof of our fourth park:

I also found these photos from my phone. I’m going to post them all here rather than going back and trying to place them in the right order.
Beast’s Castle:

The cool hand dryers in the new FL bathroom:

LeFou’s Brew:

And there you have it! Four parks in one day! Up next: Our last day in the World.​

Do you remember when we got to the New FL and we were all excited and goose bumped and Julie said something about it to the CM and she was like "whatever lady"? Most un-magical CM working there that night.

Under the Sea took Forever and day in the que because it was breaking down and stop quite a lot that weekend but it gave us time to really check out all the neat stuff in the que. Plus fireworks from there are really cool.

The LeFrou's brew tasted so good that night.

 

[carissanboys]

Yay! You made it! Four parks in one day! I have a hard enough time doing two parks in one day!

What did you think of Under the Sea? I imagine it's similar to Finding Nemo? No one but me wanted to do it so I ended up skipping it. I'll probably try to do it in January when I go alone.

 

[MEK]

Wow - 4 parks in one day. I am impressed. I've never done that!

The Little Mermaid ride looks so pretty at night. I love the color of the fountains. Now I know I MUST visit at night! You got so many great shots of the queue.

So jealous you guys got to see BOG. It was closed when we were there. It really looks cool and I can't wait to eat there in June!

Wow - what a fun day you all had. Great update!

 

[wiigirl]

Love all your pics!

 

[JPFamilyMom]

Fun night. So cool that you got to see Fantasyland before it was officially opened. <----- random smiley from Joey

 

[KatMark]

So after all that "I'm not getting behind", that's just what I did.

LOVE your outfits....you all look great.

And for getting all four parks I.

Isn't the new FL awesome? I want to ride the mermaid ride WITHOUT taking pictures my first time this year so I can really enjoy it (I think I missed a lot by taking pictures).

All the photopass pics are great, as always.

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Love that you where channeling your inner princess es ... you all look great...

You were rocking Expedition Everest ...

I'm so glad for you that you got to see NFL in previews... it feels extra special... cause you aren't quite sure you're going to get to but you're really hoping and when you get to... it feels extra special...

 

[DisMomAmy]

I finally find some time to write up our last day & photobucket isn't cooperating! Uggh! So I'll do replies first!

That CM was a bit odd! She definitely wasn't as excited to be there as we were!

The queue did take forever! Luckily it was all new to us so we could enjoy it! The fireworks were a highlight of the trip!!

Four parks in one day was fun. I'd never consider doing it with the family that's for sure!

Under the Sea was pretty cool! I don't think it's a headliner and the lines should settle down once the newness wears off, but it's a nice addition to Fantasyland. It's similar to Nemo but there's no aquarium, mostly animatronics.

Wow - 4 parks in one day. I am impressed. I've never done that!

Wow - what a fun day you all had. Great update!

I'm really glad we did all four parks. I wasn't sure by the way I felt the night before but it all worked out. Visiting at night was so pretty. A completely different experience than visiting during the day. I can't wait to eat at BoG in a couple weeks!!

We took a ton of pictures... I'm working on our last day now & there are a ton more pictures!

Love all your pics!

Thank you!!!

Fun night. So cool that you got to see Fantasyland before it was officially opened. <----- random smiley from Joey

We were totally psyched to get a sneak peek at the new attractions!!

Hi Joey!

So after all that "I'm not getting behind", that's just what I did.

And for getting all four parks I.

I completely understand Kathy! I'm behind everywhere - just can't seem to keep up. And with a 12 day trip right around the corner, I'll be behind again!

New FL really was a fun experience. Really pretty at night! I agree about soaking things in sometimes. I need to put the camera away more often!

Love that you where channeling your inner princess es ... you all look great...

You were rocking Expedition Everest ...

I'm so glad for you that you got to see NFL in previews... it feels extra special... cause you aren't quite sure you're going to get to but you're really hoping and when you get to... it feels extra special...

It was fun to be girly! I don't get to do that very often with all of my boys!

We all love our thrills rides & are looking forward to meeting up in April do ride some together!

We had heard that they were giving previews of new FL that weekend & just couldn't wait until Sunday to get back there! I'm so glad we went Sat night. That was part of the motivation to try all four parks that day!

 

[DisMomAmy]

Photobucket has finally cooperated!! So here we go with our last day, Sunday, October 14, 2012.

We took care of our luggage, checked out & headed off to enjoy a beautiful Magic Kingdom morning! (Again I’m mixing my pictures & Julie’s pictures and they aren’t in order in PB so they could bounce around a little.)

We ran into this cutie on Main Street & Julie just had to have a picture with her!

A recurring theme…

Looks like we hit Tomorrowland first.

Then it was time for a visit with our friends under the big top!

[DisMomAmy]

We spent some time enjoying the dump shop (and eating the most delicious caramel apple that the CM cut up into pieces for me to enjoy with less mess).

This is the before picture of my apple…

Then they cut it up for me so it would be easier to eat.

[DisMomAmy]

Photopass from our visit with the gang!

[DisMomAmy]

Then we headed to check out Dumbo!

A nice little spot to sit & watch the kids…

I'll be back to finish this report up before I leave NEXT WEDNESDAY!!!!​

 

[mousescrapper]

I meant to post this earlier when Amy mentioned how excited we were when we found the new FL area opened....you may have recalled seeing pictures of the "tree wall" they put in front of the main entrance earlier, we had peeked through it earlier that week...well I'm standing there trying to see if I can tell if people are back there and Amy and Heidi are yelling at me...cause they were walking in...I had no clue, it was kind of funny.

I also just had to call home ( one of my few times) to tell them I was standing I. The new LM ride queue while the fireworks were going off over us...

On to the last day....

The PP picture above of me with my finger in my mouth I was copying Donald you was just tasting "boogers" out of his snakes nose...I know gross LOL

 

[disneyfan61]

How great that the fireworks were going off while you were in line.

Wow 4 parks in one day!! I get tired just thinking about it.

Looks like you all had a great time.

Woo Hoo for next Wednesday Amy!!!!

 

[wiigirl]

Joing in...

It was pretty amazing to watch the fireworks while standing in line, full of anticipation, for Under the Sea!

We were having a blast!

Joing in...

Just in time for the end!

 

[DisMomAmy]

When I left off, we had visited with the gang under the big top & taken a ride on Dumbo. We explored the area a little more.

I guess they didn’t want kids climbing on & fall off of Casey Jr…

The bathrooms in this area are cool.

Time to spin!

Dizzy yet?

Heidi’s just chillin’!

New Fantasyland wasn’t open yet… but that didn’t stop Julie…

Hey... it is open!

[DisMomAmy]

Story Time with Belle…

Julie got a job!

Julie got to have photopass pictures with Belle. At the time, you could only get your picture taken with Belle at the end of the show if you were in the show. I’m not sure if that has changed or not, but something to keep in mind if you want pictures.

I don’t remember this at all…

Lucky gal!
