Saturday Dec 11

Park: Magic kingdom

Reservations: O’hana Breakfast

We started our day by making our way to O’hana for breakfast. Our reservation was at 10:10am. This was Eryka’s meal pick since she loves Stitch and we loved it!!!!! The food was great including and especially the eggs mmmmmmmmmm so good

Off to the Magic Kingdom we went but we didn’t get there till 11:30am and let me tell you it was CROWDED

I don't understand....I write my PTR and all my wonderful DIS friends read it and no one asks if I am flipping mad for planning to go to MK on a Saturday?
It was wall to wall people

When we got there we ran into the Shake it Celebrate it Parade so we watched that

Then at the castle the Dream Along with Mickey show started so we watched that

Continued in next post.....

 

[Tinkermom76]

I decided to stay as far away from fantasyland as possible. We ran over to get FP’s for BTMRR and Splash Mountain. I was surprised that the return time was almost right away so we waited a bit and then Eryka and I jumped on both those rides.

We grabbed a raft over to Tom Sawyer Island, our first time there. The kids spent some time exploring the fort

We went through Adventureland and the lines were very long. Even the Treehouse had a line to go into it and I have never seen that before. We stopped to get FP’s for Jungle Cruise to use later

We grabbed dinner at Cosmic Ray’s. Me and mom got the Chicken/Rib combo and I can’t remember what the girls had but I am sure they snagged some of our ribs

We used our FP’s for the Jungle Cruise and I don’t think the girls understood any of what the guy said.

We decided to head over and get a spot for MSEP. We got a good spot in Frontierland. The girls played with their bubble blowers and I went and got some drinks and snacks. I finally found the elusive snowman popcorn bucket!

We watched MSEP for the first time! Since I have never seen it I took lots of pics. I won’t post them all but I am gonna post a lot

After the parade it was so crowded and we were getting cold so we decided to say forget it and head home for the night.

[Mickey_Mom]

I didn't really like the soup at Le Celier either, tasted like nacho cheese to me! Can't wait to read more

Mmmmm, nacho cheese sounds kinda yummy




You know, it never occured to me to not go to MK on a Saturday but that makes total sense to me. Locals I guess eh?

Your trip up Main Street sounds exactly like our first MK day with the parade and then the Castle show right away. I'm so glad you loved 'Ohana and you got some great MSEP shots

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

great update even though you didn't get a whole lot done as you said! We found that on our trip too. We had lost some hours since my bro's friends/roommates let him and my parents in with his free tickets but even with losing 2 hours each morning to wait for his friends..it still seemed like we didn't do a whole lot but when you aren't paying for it, I guess it doesn't matter so much!

Hopefully you got more things crossed off your list!!

DON'T go to MK on a Saturday!!!

I LOVED Ohana, that will be a must do every trip. There are lots of places I like but I LOVED Ohana. Breakfast only though, we didn't like dinner. Hey did you get Leis when you ate at Ohana cause we ate there twice and never got Leid once

It was crazy busy that day and it sucked that we didn't do much

I guess you will have to keep reading to see if we finish our list

 

[PRmamiDEdos]

You too and I will!!! Are you still stranded at your moms?

I got back home on Tuesday and then had to get ready for my cousin's visit!

At least yours tasted cheesy

Hey!!! Get off my Stitch!!!!

We grabbed a raft over to Tom Sawyer Island, our first time there. The kids spent some time exploring the fort

Isn't that place creepy? They could make a really cool haunted house there during Halloween!

Hey! I have one of those!!! LOL I still don't know where I'll store them. Ugh so much Disney stuff!!!

I still haven't seen the MSEP. There's always next time!

Eryka will fight you for Stitch!

It would make a great haunted house... you should email them that idea!!!

I know.... I now have so many Disney blankets my bed is covered in them, I really need to start going in the warmer weather

I liked MSEP but I have never seen Spectro so I can't compare

 

[jenseib]

EEEEEK!!!! I have Mk planned for Sat on our trip too(as of now) I don't think we have ever been to Disney on a Sat. before, so i didn;t really think about it, I was just avoiding other parks EMH's. We have BBB for the morning and then 1900 PF for breakfast, so we'll get back to Mk around noon when it's super busy! But I am also thinking of doing the resort photshoot that day too, so maybe we'll just do a few things and get out. We also have Sunday planned there, and no park for Monday, but we can go back if need be.

 

[pixidustmom]

I thought I might join in and read along. I went last year about the same time and it was cold and raining then. We about froze one day. YUCK!

I don't know if it's like that every Saturday but it was Jammed. If you have other things planned maybe you won't be so bad

We were there after Thanksgiving last year and it wasn't too bad but this year was crazy cold... only bonus is I got a cool Mickey Snuggie!!!

I love the Tink in your signature!!!

Merry Christmas to you too! We had a great one and the girls love the castle playset. I was going to get the monorail while I was there too but they didn't have any when I got the castle and I didn't really want to pay double shipping. I can get the monorail next trip!

Here's hoping your next one is a girl and she and Will can play with the castle together!!!

us too-Will feel in love with the monorail, but we didn't get it this year. i think we might for next year though! We have the train set already.

looks like another great day, but sorry MK was so crowded. we enjoyed MSEP too, but i miss Spectro- it was sort of my parade and i have fond memories of seeing it a lot when i worked my CP. I did enjoy seeing MSEP again, brought back childhood memories.

so glad you found the snowman bucket- we love ours too!

so tell me more about Ohana's breakfast- who were the characters, Lilo, Stitch, Pluto and who else? we are considering this one for next year.

Mickey is also there. the kids do a little parade around the restaurant with the characters. The thing I really love about Ohana compared to other character meals is that the food is brought to the table instead of having to go up and get it. I am not worried that I will miss character interation. The eggs were fantastic (best I ever had) and the Mickey waffles were so soft. A guy walks around with a tray of them and gives them out to people that need them so they are always fresh. There is also a view of the castle from Ohana which is an added bonus.

This will be on my ADR list for every single trip from now on and I highly recommend you try it!

Akerhus is a combo of both. You can go up and get some stuff like fruits, cheese, danishes, but then they bring out a platter with eggs, sausage, bacon, and a potato casserole.

Yes but the food at Akershus is not near as good as Ohana, but we always go there for the princesses. Emma has decided next trip she wants to eat at Cinderella's Royal Table again

I'm not sure how I missed out on your TR!?? I also just realized I hadn't started Daddy_of Princesses yet either! How wierd?!

We got the snowman popcorn thing too! I was sad I had missed out on the Halloween one, so I made sure we got this one!

About the monorail toy- I had tried EVERYTHING to get Jack the WDW railroad set before we left, even called merchandising and she told me they wouldn't be getting anymore in until the new year. I was so upset, but I went ahead and bought a different train set, and wrapped it up before we left. On our 3rd day, I was in the little shop outside of MK and THERE IT WAS!! They had restocked! I bought it then and there and was so happy I almost cried! Jack loves it, but now he keeps talking about the monorail... so maybe next year I guess!

Your trip sounds great so far, looking forward to more!

We will get the monorail next year for sure but they seem happy with the castle

What does the halloween bucket look like, we might be there for MNSSHP next year so i will need to add it to my collection

 

[Tinker_Tam]

Just catching up! Awesome update!

O'hanas is my favorite meal of the trip... next to Le Celier. And I think I would have put them sharing the tip spot on my list.

We added this day so that we could get some more MK stuff done. Needless to say we didn't get bearly anything done. I was a little disappointed but being our last day we refused to wait too long for anything.
