Have no idea about that light, I'm guessing it's a light??? I had a great weekend, and will tell you about the fun of today later. Basically, I met my goal with the family. Anyways, hope you have a non eventful evening, and I'm sure I'll talk to you tomorrow!!

Any ideas where this picture was taken?

Yes, it's a light, a series of lights. I had never noticed it before at the end of an attraction. Also never noticed these either, same building.

I know the first set of lights are fairly new, just not sure how long it's been there. Dh says the other 2 areas I took pics have been like that for years. But I only noticed it last week. It's in a building at Epcot, any takers?

It's a love or hate thing! Either you love those bubble machines or hate them. If you've ever bought one for yourself or your child, you know that little tiny bottle of bubbles doesn't last long. 20 minutes tops. In the past, Disney didn't sell refill bubbles. Now they do. For 99 cents, you can buy a refill bottle.

This area in future world usually has a stage where different schools perform. We were surprised to walk by that area and see it so bare!

Goofy and I had a good time strolling down memory lane as we checked out the timeline inside the building that houses the characters and the ice cream shop.

Our first trip to WDW together was this year pictured here. We stayed at the Beach Club which we loved, especially the pool, Storm Along Bay! We checked into the resort. The room wasn't ready. We were hungry and a cm suggested Beaches and Cream. We loved our burgers and icecream. With full bellies and the room not ready, we walked over to Epcot. On our way, we saw Goofy in the air in a flying machine!!! I can remember the excitement building because it was the first Disney character I had seen since my childhood trip to Disneyland.

Then we saw other characters flying. It was very exciting. But the show was ending. We wanted to find out about the show so we could see it in full.

It's funny. This was our first trip to WDW. We had no plans. No clue of what to expect. My friend's husband was working at our resort so that's how we picked where to stay. Our only plan for the whole week was to meet my friend and go to River Country. Everything else was winging it! We were so clueless!

no idea where those lights and panels are

wow they should bring back that show, the poster looks cool!
our first WDW in 1994 we stayed off property and just winged it to, but then we only had MK and EP to go to so that made the winging easier and no kiddo to lug around either!

Mark and I miss several things that Disney used to have when the kids were younger, etc. So many areas left unused.

I agree with other posters- you are very patient
My goodness- all the ear choices. I'm not sure i could choose.

The show was great! Characters flew overhead, each country had a giant blow up character. It made quiet an impression for our first Disney trip together!

There was no Boardwalk Resort back then. We had a clear shot to watch the fireworks from MGM Studios from the beach of the beach club. There was a tram that ran between the Beach Club, Yacht Club, Swan and Dolphin.

I think on our 2nd trip to WDW we stayed at the Beach Club again and the construction for the Boardwalk was under way.

I agree, so many things changed over the years. Some for the good and some changes were sad.

I have only had the honor of owning 1 set of ears. Dream Ears handed out to me during the celebration. We were at the right place at the right time and we all got ears!

I would like to get Anakin the R2D2 ears, but when he picked out the ears he wanted last year, he went with traditional black with yellow writing.

Remember the giant camera in Image Works? That area is walled off, and this is on the wall.

 

[lovethattink]

Test track, along with Safe Kids USA, AAA, and GM had a special car/booster seat awareness program at the exit of TT.

Kids got photographed, measured and weighed. Then a brochure with the kid's pictures was made and handed to the parents. If explained how your state rates. The kids were also given a small etchasketch!

There is a giant crane at the castle. The pathway between Sir Mickey's and Rapunzle is blocked.

Trees and a wall block the pathway.

The Rapunzel Meet and Greet is still opened. The queue has changed significantly. It's now a boxed in area. There is no dancing, perhaps this changed when Flynn left? There is coloring to pass the time away for the children. The parents wait in line.

With just two families to go before us, Rapunzle had to go check on Pascal. He was getting into trouble in the kitchen! Apparently he fell into cookie batter.

The hug

She asked him what he hoped to do today. His answer was meet her. This was her suprise.

Now that he met her she wanted to know what his favorite thing about the park was. He answered going on rides and characters.

We finally have EYE CONTACT!!! She asked him if he was going to light a lantern tonight.

I guess it's the elevation of the track that makes all the difference

There is so much cool new merchandise!



One of my friends posted a picture of her cat wearing one of those hats. It looked adorable. And this is on her cat who has attitude! Actually size wise they fit the head of a cat better than a human. They look big in picture, but they are actually quite small.



That's right! You did see my Tink watch. Love that DTD WoD will remove links!! How do you store all his mugs? Wondering if you have a creative tower or something? We have no more room left in our cupboards for another glass or mug for Grumpy! I don't know what to do with them. Right now they line the counter and it bugs me!

We are starting off the week with another morning at Disney. Our hopes is to see Rapunzel this morning, which means I better get off of here and head out the door!!

I was think the hats look small. I figured that perhaps they were on headbands.

I love Rapunzle. First off I think that her and Tiana are my absolute favorites. Rapunzle looks as though she is a good CM. I love the eye contact pictures.

I responded to this earlier, and it didn't show up? In fact, I had problems so I hit to see back screen and reposted and it said I had to wait so many seconds between posts. So I will try this again!

I didn't pick up one of those hats. But the way they sat flat on the shelf, I don't think they had headbands. But I could be wrong.

I love those 2 princesses too, and add Ariel! Rapunzle made a great Rapunzle! She was so convincing that on the way out, he asked why Rapunzle thinks she is in her movie instead of the Magic Kingdom?

 

[mommy2mrb]

love the pics with Rapunzel.....you can tell how comfortable Anakin was with her!

Thanks! He's got a thing for long hair, lol. He was trying to figure out if she was wearing a wig or not. He still hasn't reached a conclusion yet, but he thinks it probably is a wig because even Rachel and Lisa's hair isn't that long.

Sometimes the Dis is silly.


I would bet they didn't because they had them sitting there. I think they are a bit silly for a regular hat.



I agree with the addition of Ariel. Oh that is great. She sounds spot on. How cute of Anakin.

 

[lovethattink]

He would be perfect for the Family Magic Tour. Since he still can't tell the difference between reality and make believe. He'd love to save The World from Captain Hook! Maybe something to look into for winter when it's cooler, Dec trip?

 

[kaoden39]

Oh that sounds fun. I don't know about the Peter Pan at WDW but there is one in DLR that does adventures with the kids. He leads them all around Fantasyland and sometimes Wendy joins him. They are great fun.
