Disney dangled the visual weinee & Mickeystoontown gobbled it up! 10/26

Philharmagic is the best! It is definitely one of my favorite shows!


My family loves the TTA too. There is something just so relaxing about riding around such a magical place and taking in the sites.
 
I read your whole update with a southern accent. Especially after your DADGUM. i almost lost it.
fugetaboutit.

You guys are SO STINKIN CUTE!!! This year we have had one COLD summer. I may have been in the pool 4 times. maybe. So hitting the Florida heat is going to knock us out! so not looking forward to it. We will be ready for the humidity. :thumbsup2

LOVE the people mover! one of the best rides! Glad you decided not to dance on the people mover. that would be bad...

really upset the Philharmonic will be closing while we are there. I jsut changed around a couple of things to go there before it closes!!! :cool1:


Boo on the twerp not playing along on the Monster laugh floor! shoulda knocked him on the head!!!! popcorn::

your pictures are GREAT! great point of views! :hyper:
 
Ya know - in two trips to Disney World, we have not yet ridden on the People Mover! And we meant to. We just never quite got around to it.

As usual, I love looking at your pictures. You always seem to catch great details.

Darla, you need to ride the TTA at least once. We aware though that the moving belt thing that you stand on going up and down is steep so watch your step. My Mama had a hard time with it so one of us stood in front of her and one to her side.

I love reading your updates & seeing your pictures!

I am so sad Philarmagic will be closed for refurb when we get there in 2 weeks! I've never tried it, but it sounds like something I would enjoy!

Just means that you'll have to plan another trip when it is opened. ;)

"You can hold hands but you can’t dance"- this just cracked me up. :rotfl2:

"After our spin on the TTA (which we love by the way for no real reason other than it’s a nice way to get off your feet and people watch)" haha, this also made me laugh. People watching is always a fun thing to do :rotfl:

I love people watching. It so much fun sitting there watching other people's maneurisms. Probably the same thing that they are doing to me. :rotfl:

I also love Roz! She is one of my favorites as well. I've never done Monsters Inc Laugh floor so I can't wait to do this attraction.

Oh yes, you need to go in the Laugh Floor. The show is good and even better when the audience participates.


I always wonder when reading peoples trip reports...
Do you take notes on your trip to help with your trip reports or do you just follow along with your pictures to remember what you did all day?

I very rarely take notes. I use my pictures as my guide when writing the reports and my memory of course. Also, before I leave, I have a basic itinerary or where we will be on what days. Now with the FP+ system, I can plan even better.::yes::
 
I love Philharmagic too, definitely my favorite "show" at WDW :lovestruc

:thumbsup2

Too bad Space Mountain was down, and that you then had to listen to that group try to get in with a FP :headache: Good job beating John's score though.

I was happy to hear that our FP wouldn't go to waste if Space Mountain didn't get back up and running.

I'll have to remember not to dance on TTA when I'm there in 4 months :rotfl: I so love that attraction too, if only for the chance to rest my feet.

Yeah, make sure that your behind is firmly on the seat and you are holding your guy's hand.

:furious: to the dude that wouldn't cooperate during Laugh Floor. I mean, come on man it's a funny bit and then it's over.

He was just a jerk! He didn't have to ruin the whole bit just because he was a booty.:sad2:

Great pics! I love the one of the Astro Orbiter with the planets. And not only is Hunter hilarious, he is so handsome! You have a heartbreaker on your hands there.

Aww, thank you! He's been dating the same girl for a year now and she just started college. Every time he is out and about, there are always girls coming up to him and giving him hugs. His girlfriend better watch out. :rotfl:

LOL at John and Roz. You are definitely better looking than her. What's John's deal? :rotfl2: We have some good jokes for Laugh Floor. I hope one of them gets picked when we go!

Well, at least I have a better complexion that Roz does. :lmao:

Yay for no bus line. That's the best. Can't wait to see where you go for dinner.

Oh, and what's up with those people in the wheelchair? Wheelchair does not = fastpass.

The group trying to get in was getting on my nerves because they just kept on trying even though it was no use.

I just realized something.....did you send me a message on Facebook? If you did, I remember looking at it but I don't think that I responded. Let me know and I'll go back and look.

That's why we love the TTA. It's not really the sites that you see on the buildings that you pass through but rather looking at everything from up high.

I read your whole update with a southern accent. Especially after your DADGUM. i almost lost it.
fugetaboutit.

I do have a Southern drawl when I talk but I don't talk real slow so you can't read it super slowly. Unless you are reading it like it was in John's voice. He's a slow talker. ::yes::

We used to have a big above ground pool but our weather was so hot that it was hard to keep the water clean despite a new filter, chemicals, etc. We did away with it a couple of Summers ago.

I hate to say it but I bet you're going to get a smack in the face when you get to WDW. I'm betting that you will handle it though. :thumbsup2


LOVE the people mover! one of the best rides! Glad you decided not to dance on the people mover. that would be bad...

Oh I wanted to dance but I refrained 'cause I didn't want to get kicked off.

really upset the Philharmonic will be closing while we are there. I jsut changed around a couple of things to go there before it closes!!! :cool1:

Boo on the twerp not playing along on the Monster laugh floor! shoulda knocked him on the head!!!! popcorn::

Knocked him on the head for sure! He was just being a jerk and it wasn't funny at all (he thought it was)

your pictures are GREAT! great point of views! :hyper:

Thank you m'am!
 
Delurking....Love your trip report! You have such a fun sense of humor!

Yay for coming out of lurkdom! Hey! I hope that you'll post often.

We are a pretty fun loving bunch and have a great time together. Our everyday lives are fairly busy so when we have time to just let loose, we certainly do.
 
We haven't went in to see Philharmagic in a while, going to have to do it again this time. It is always nice to head into the shows with A/C on those hot, hot days. TTA is one of the rides I remember best from my first trip in 1986 and is still one of my favorites.

Doesn't it seem like the bus stop is always WAAAAYYYYY down toward the end? I know we are never near the front no matter which resort we are in. Our bus stops at EPCOT always seems to be all the way around in the last section.

I am hoping Olivia's is good. In all my trips to Disney I have never even been over to OKW. We go by the entrance when we go to SSR, but haven't gone in. Amanda and Matt stayed there last year after their cruise.
 
Fun update!

Mickey's Philharmagic is one of our faves too. Wow everyone did as they were told! Isn't it sad how rarely that happens?

Too bad that man at the Laugh Floor wasn't a good sport.
 
Ah, I love Philharmagic! Hmmm did I spell that wrong or is it telling me it's not a word? :confused3 Donald, the music, all of the different characters and the apple pie smell...what's not to love. I often wonder just how many people don't turn around at the end to see Donald's end. :goodvibes

DH informed me that he has never been on the People Mover. He does not go to Disney as much as the rest of us do but, I can't figure out how he missed it. We're going to fix that in December. Too bad that your lit up Space Mountain pictures did not load. It really is very cool looking all lit up!

I don't know what it is with people trying to get into fastpass lines with no fastpass. Idiots. :rolleyes2 BTW...John's score would beat mine any day. Every time we go on Buzz I think there is something wrong with my gun. I have now come to the conclusion that I just stink at Buzz Lightyear. It can't be working wrong every single time I play can it? :rotfl:

I wonder when all that hub construction is supposed to be done. They've been working on it for a while now.
 
Fun Update! Your MK day was our AK day. Crowds weren't too bad at AK, but it was hot, hot hot. We headed to DTD for dinner, too! I love seeing how our schedules overlapped. We love the Peoplemover, too. We rode it once a few trips back when the lights were on in Space Mountain, and saw how CLOSE the tracks are :eek: Now Ian (6'3") is scared to go on it. He still does ("cuz that's what a real man would do"), but he hunches down and tries to curl up in the tiny little seat. I say just don't ride it, but he refuses to give into his fear (even tho he's afraid it will take off his head). Teenagers!
 
Great updates, Lisa.

Love Mickey's Philharmagic; so sad as I just found out it is closed while we are there next month. :(

Buzz...nice score; I've only beaten Mark once on that ride. :mad:

I hate when people don't participate and ruin a show for the others. Seriously, Grumpy should have stayed home!

You take pictures? I never would have guessed. :rotfl::rotfl:

Can't wait to see where dinner is.
 
Love Philharmonic! It just screams Disney!

I love some Roz too! I tell the kids all the time- " I'm watching... Always watching..." ;))) lol!!

I'm not sure I'm a fan of the new rooms.. I love the bright, cheery, open look! But maybe it'll grow on me too!
 
Wonderful updates. We pretty much do like y'all do. We duck into all the inside shows during the heat of the day. We did the Tiki Birds for the first time and my DH and my oldest was like don't think we will ever do that again. I told them when it's hot and you need air it will be your favorite.

I love Monsters Inc. I didn't have high expectations for it but I thought it was great.

Can't wait to hear more.
 
There are some spots in each park that have narrower walkways and they can become congested. And, we all know that there are “those” people who will stop dead in their tracks and congregate which stops the flow.

:headache: They are the same people pushing the carts in front of me at Costco.

When the doors opened to the actual theater, a miracle happened! Nobody plopped their behinds down in the center of the row. Everybody actually followed instructions and moved all the way down. Can you believe it? Had I not seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have. :rotfl:

:eek::eek:

Quick, buy a lottery ticket!

Did ya’ll know that there was a rumor that the Imagineers originally had a deodorant scent that they wanted to spray into the theater when Ariel is stretching her arms out? I kid you not! That’s what I read! I’m thinking that the Imagineers had a really good sense of humor and they figured with the hot and sticky Florida weather, there’d be a lot of stinky people out there and the theater would need a good deodorizing. :rotfl2:

Never heard that before, but it's too funny! :rotfl2::rotfl:

I was aiming for the targets that were the furthest away and John was whining about his gun not shooting like it should. Whatever sucka! :p

Excuses, excuses!

My score:

which wasn’t fantabulous but it was better than John’s:

And that's all that matters.

Roz is one of his favorite Disney characters. Made me wonder about his choice of women and my self confidence level was knocked down a notch or two. :goodvibes

He just wants to stay on her good side. She's watching, always watching...

The show was, as always, great but could have been better because one of the guys that the mind reader chose was quite a booty and wouldn’t cooperate. At first, I wondered if he really understood or got what was going on but then we realized that he was just being a d..., a b..., you get the drift. :furious: He wouldn’t answer the questions and the character on the screen was trying to save the gig but finally had to just call it quits and the show continued on. Don’t you know that the castmember holding the microphone wanted to just bonk him over the head with microphone out of frustration.

Come on, dude. How do you get through life with no sense of humor?
 
Hi there! It's me, from the June 2015 discounts thread!!

It took me from about 10am today, but I've read EVERY PAGE! I absolutely cannot wait for the next installment. You are absolutely hilarious and your family looks like you all have so much fun together. Maybe we'll run into each other next trip!
 
Yay for a great MK day! I love Philharmagic too! It is by far my favorite 3D show. I had heard rumors that they were thinking about changing it and updating it with new songs, including songs from Frozen. I REALLY hope that they leave it alone and don't mess with it. It would upset me so much. Tangled and Frozen are so cute but I don't think they need to mess with the classics. Watching Philharmagic takes me back to my childhood.

Isn't TTA awesome when Space Mountain is shut down?! I've been on it one other time when that happened and it was so awesome looking at the ride. With that said it makes you realize how awesome the ride is in the dark with the mood set. If Space Mountain was an outside ride it would just look like a simple cat and mouse coaster. Those imagineers are some smart guys!

That comment about Roz was too funny! Don't let it get you down...you seem much more pleasant than Roz. I used to work with an art teacher that talked (and oddly looked) just like her. She was SO annoying! Alas, she retired. Tell John he is most certainly not missing out on the real thing...UGH!

Can't wait to see where you eat!
 
Way to beat the afternoon heat!

Those Fantastyland crowds are the worst! It seems like there should be a lot of space, but that is always the hardest place to maneuver around people.

Philharmagic is such a great show. Wished my boys liked it more. :sad2:

Bummer on Space being down, but it's good that the fast pass was valid anywhere. Do you know if you could have used it on the Mine Train?

That is a fantastic picture of Hunter on Buzz.

I almost forgot to ride the Peoplemover last week! :scared1: Phew!

Astrorbitor is under construction now. I don't ride it but it is such a pretty ride to watch. The construction area in the front of the castle is kind of ugly from the TTA.

But your pictures of the castle on the way out are spectacular!!!

I also love the pictures of you guys at the bus stop.

:thumbsup2
 
All caught up. My comments maybe out of order but I caught up last night.

I can not wait to eat those cupcakes at Be Our Guest.

It's amazing that they actually went all the way to the end.

We have never done the laugh floor but are looking forward to trying it out this year.

That turtle cheesecake was adorable! I think I will be getting that. :)

Looking forward to more updates.
