I heard that about the Cantina being closed. I would consider sending someone to grab Soarin FP's though rather than wait till after SE and TT but that's just me being paranoid!

 

[Mickey_Mom]

What if you did Spaceship Earth on the way out? Would you score better with the Soarin fast passes that way? We haven't done EMH so not sure how busy it gets? But especially if your doing Test Track next?

Character spot! yay!
Turtle Talk with Crush! yay!

Yes Mexico CS is closed.... something is being expanded but I can't recall the details.

Wow, lots of firsts for you!

Oh right... Cynthia is correct. It's already listed as closed on the rehabs page at allears.

Sounds like a super fun day! I'm pretty sure they have Kim Possible things in Innoventions and I know they have a kiosk on the walkway between Future World and World Showcase. You might want to save the Kim Possible thing until after you get back from break because it could be a long walk to your country and back (depending on which country you get.) You could get your fastpass before you leave and then pick up your Kimmunicator as soon as you arrive back after your break. Then you might have time to do several missions if you like them. (You can take breaks in between missions for ride or to eat or whatever.)

Good to know about the kiosk for Kim Possible. I didn't know that! Hmm...good idea about saving it until we come back also. I'm not sure I can hold the boys off that long though. How long does a mission usually take?

Love this picture! I don't know how, but after several visits during the F&G Festival, we've never come across one of these play areas... It will be on my "must-do" list this year!

Your plans for this year look great!

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Kim Possible FPs are separate from regular FPs so you can pick those up whenever you want to & it won't effect your ability to get other FPs.

I poked around a bit and found this - it's some really good info about Kim Possible:
http://www.stitchkingdom.com/kimpossible/

We'll definitely be doing more missions this year!

The boys loved the play area last year during the F&G Festival. It was a great place for DH and I to just sit and relax for a few minutes while they played!!!

Thanks for sharing the website on Kim Possible!! There is a ton of information on it!! Good to know about the fastpasses too!!!

Oh I'm excited you get to see Illuminations for the first time! Enjoy it!! It's one of my favorite shows...and in case you never knew the story behind it (from Wikipedia):
IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth is split into three acts:

Act I: Chaos. Chaos represents the creation of the planet Earth from a cosmic event. (This part uses the Inferno Barge.)
Act II: Order. The Earth Globe appears. As the Earth cools, it changes from hot white to red to blue. Images appear on the Globe of countries, famous places, objects, and people. Chaos turns to Order.
Act III: Meaning. The Earth Globe opens revealing a torch and 1,000 white fireworks are ignited. The final loud fireworks explode with a white flash and end with a loud crackle.

I always thought the meaning behind the show made it a bit more special

Ahhh...we're very excited to see Illuminations!!! Thank you sooo much for posting the info about it!! It sounds like such a beautiful show!!!!

Hi Angie!

Ahh...Epcot...my favorite park!

Yes...you can pick up KimPossible FPs in Innoventions. We did in April and it worked out great!

Glad to see we're not the only family that enjoys Living with the Land. It's a must do for us!

We've never done the character spot at Epcot....I hope the lines aren't too long for you. Hitting it early sounds like a good idea!

What...no stop at Club Cool????

Your boys will love Turtle Talk with Crush. It makes me giggle every time!

Hi Missy!!

Love Living w/ the Land!! We were so disappointed not being able to see in August!!

I've seen so many great character pictures taken at the Character Spot in Epcot!! Hoping to get some good ones with the boys this trip!!

How could I forget about Club Cool????? Of course we will be heading there!!

Ahh....they are predicting a big snow storm to hit here in the next couple of days? The boys are hoping for a snow day!! Darn....just when I was starting to get back to some kind of routine. Are they predicting a storm over your way?

 

[Angies1274]

Your plans look great! As others have said you can pick up the "Fastpasses" for Kim Possible at Innoventions and there's also a kiosk on that walkway between Future World and World Showcase.

You know I am excited for the F&GF too...I even saw there is going to be a Princess and the Frog garden! The only disappointing part is that it said it's going to be cutouts instead of topiaries.

Bring on the trivia.

YAY! A Princess and the Frog garden!! Only cutouts though??? It would have been really cool if they had done some topiaries as well!!

More trivia to come!!! Finally!!

I heard that about the Cantina being closed. I would consider sending someone to grab Soarin FP's though rather than wait till after SE and TT but that's just me being paranoid!

I still may run for FP's for Soarin' first thing. That's what I did last April and it worked out really good. But...in August since we went during EMH, we waited to grab them at about 8:45am (just before the park officially opens and had a return time for 10:45am. Then again it wasn't Spring Break....so I may have to rethink this???

Hi Tracy!!

Hmm.. maybe we will wait on Spaceship Earth??? The only thing that worries me though is that it will probably be around 2:00 when we leave to head back to Pop for a rest. Since it's Spring Break...I'm afraid it will get really busy by the middle of the day. What to do? What to do?

Morning EMH are great!! It wasn't busy at all when went in August. That's why I thought about waiting to get Fastpasses for Soarin' until just before the park officially opens. (I'm not sure the Fastpass machines are open when EMH begins...I thought I had read somewhere they weren't and that is why we waited in August.) But, maybe I'm wrong????

Lots of firsts this time!! YAY! We are super excited!!

Oh right... Cynthia is correct. It's already listed as closed on the rehabs page at allears.

Thanks! I thought I had read it somewhere--it was probably on allears!

It can vary, but it seems like it took my kids around 30 minutes for each mission.

Loved looking back at your Epcot memories. I absolutely love visiting Epcot during the Flower & Garden Festival and was sad when I heard that we would be missing it this year. You'll have to take lots and lots of pictures for those of us who don't get to see the beautiful topiaries and flowers.

Hmm...30 minutes isn't too bad, for some reason I thought they took much longer.

Thanks! I'm planning to take a ton of pictures this year to share with everyone!! (especially of the F&G Festival!!) Can't wait!!!

Good question, if you can get both SE and TT done and back there by 8:45 you might be ok. Spring Break is spread out but if you are on either side of the Easter Weekend it could be pretty crazy, not sure!

I only know about the Cantina from HappyDog's TR lol.

That's what I'm hoping for!! I figure if we can hit SE on the way by and then head straight toward TT, it may work. We did EMH last April but only for MK and it was the week of Easter and the park was still pretty empty that early in the morning...we're hoping the same will apply to Epcot this year. I guess we'll have to see!

 

[Angies1274]

So, I thought that I would try the Disney trivia again! (hint....but from now on the movies will come from a ride at Disney.) I thought since there are a ton of Disney movies..this may make it easier!!!

Today, we will start it off with one of the boys favorite movies!!

You know the rules....name the movie and who says it? Oh and if you want name the park you can find this ride at?



"I'm packing you an extra pair of shoes, and your angry eyes just in case."

Good Luck!!!

 

[DisMomAmy]

I have a guess... It's a Toy Story Movie & I'm going to guess it's Woody talking to Mr. Potato Head.

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Hi Angie! Woot! I know this one! It's --> Mrs. Potato Head from Toy Story 2 and the corresponding ride is Toy Story Mania in DHS !!

 

[Angies1274]

I have a guess... It's a Toy Story Movie & I'm going to guess it's Woody talking to Mr. Potato Head.

YAY!!! You guessed the correct movie!!! Great job!!!! But it was.... Mrs. Potato Head talking to Mr. Potato Head.

Hi Angie! Woot! I know this one! It's --> Mrs. Potato Head from Toy Story 2 and the corresponding ride is Toy Story Mania in DHS !!

Wow!!! You got the movie...the character and the ride right!! I have a feeling you may have watched this movie a time or two??

Great job!!!

 

[Mickey_Mom]
