Feeling Hot Hot Hot! The Rain Curse is Broken! Two Weeks of Fun in the Sun! COMPLETE

[HomeschoolMama]

Hey, Lessa! I'm rally enjoying your TR! I hadn't been over here in months and you drew me back with your hilarious family antics.

LOVE the step-sisters!!! Mel and I went to 1900 and took pics with them a few years ago. We have it down for March too.

We had to stop for a picture with this cute little guy.

you saw the white rabbit! AWESOME!

As we entered Fantasyland Alek and Erich saw some young beauties that had them absolutely dazzled, they knew that they absolutely had to meet them, they could not pass up such an opportunity.

How could they pass up such beauty?

There were quite a few others waiting to speak with them as well but The Fairy Godmother who was passing by approached us and assured them that the two ladies were always happy to meet eligible young men.

LOVE the courtship! really fun! I have a new found love for the steps!

After Alek and Erich failed to pull the sword from the stone we decided to go see Philharmagic. I love this show! It is one of my favourite attractions at WDW. Remember how the tea cups make me motion sick? Well this show has a tendency to do that as well but only during the Aladdin scene and it is not nearly as bad as spinning on the tea cups so I put up with it. Does this happen to anybody else or am I just weird?

Not alone, I get sick from the motion a bit too.

The ride was fun, I rode with Mom and Alek and Erich rode together. They were their usual embarrassing selves and we could hear them "screaming" during the ride. I apologize if you were one of the people in ride vehicles near us!

The new hitchiking ghosts were also a fun addition!

It was not even noon yet and we were already half "done" the park!

FUN! Katie likes the hitchhiking ghosts too!!

Just caught up with the whole trip report so far and it looks like you had a great time! Looking forward to hearing more.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Yes, you ARE weird!

Haha, I'm just kidding. It doesn't make me dizzy, but I've heard it happening to other people.

That pizza looks really yummy.

The new queue for HM looks SO COOL! I would probably go through it when it isn't busy so I can slowly check everything out.

It looked really yummy, too bad it was only mediocre!

I might consider 1900 again for a future trip.

you saw the white rabbit! AWESOME!

I have actually had lots of luck with the white rabbit. We saw him in 2007 in the UK Toy Shop, 2009 on the cruise and then this year. May have also seen him in 2008, can't remember!

We really did have a great time! There was not a single bad day the whole trip although there were some "bad" moments.

It was now noon and it was really starting to get HOT! What is the logical ride to head to when you need to cool down and have some fun at the same time, Splash Mountain!

Erich informed us that he would not be riding. He had been on it several times on the last trip but he said that he did not like the drop and did not want to ride. He claims that he is not afraid of the drop, he just doesn't like the feeling in his stomach that is caused by the drop. He arranged to meet us on the bridge in front of Splash. This would cause some problems, if you are familiar with the area in front of the ride I bet you can guess what the problem would be.

It was insanely packed in the area in front of Splash and Big Thunder but Mom, Alek and I made our way into the line, it was posted as a 30 minute wait. It was far longer than 30 minutes at least it felt that way because of the heat. Thank goodness most of the line is covered.

I could hear what sounded like Chip and Dale coming from this little house.

I wanted to get a picture as we dropped, here is my attempt, I took the picture too soon.

After the drop we spotted Erich on THE WOODEN BRIDGE waiting for us to float by.

I like Mom's face in the ride photo. The people in front of us are pretty funny as well.

Upon exiting the ride I spotted Goofy out for photos and the line was not all that long. Mom and I got in line and sent Alek to fetch Erich, they should be able to get back by the time we made it up to Goofy...

Mom and I were almost to Goofy when Alek showed up without Erich. He said he couldn't find him. Well, Erich is a big boy and would be fine on his own for a few more minutes so I sent Alek off to look for him again while Mom and I got our photo. I know, I am such a kind and caring sister.

After we finished with Goofy I sat Mom down in the shade by the exit/entrance for Splash and told her to wait there in case Alek and Erich showed up, I would go off and look for Erich also. I didn't want her walking around in the heat for no reason since it is so painful for her and we needed somebody to stay put so we wouldn't all be wandering around looking for each other.

I found Alek easily enough but still there was no Erich. Well, remember how Erich said he would meet us on the bridge, there are TWO bridges in front of Splash. There is the upper stone/paved bridge and then the lower wooden bridge. Alek had been looking mostly on the upper paved bridge. We walked both bridges and still did not see Erich. We did a second circuit and there was Erich on the lower wooden bridge. He said that he had been there ever since we had floated by but he had sat down which was probably why we didn't see him. Of course it makes sense that he would be on the wooden bridge since that is where we had seen him when he took our photo after the drop. The area was completely packed with people so that did not help with the search at all. It felt like we wasted a good 30 minutes looking for Erich when he was right there the whole time.

We went back and collected Mom and quickly made our way out of the area. It was far too busy in the Splash/Big Thunder area for us to stay there any longer.

I spotted this wonderful ensemble as we were leaving the area.

I am all for being patriotic but that is too much in my opinion!

We made our way over to Adventureland where I spotted a photopass photographer by Pirates. I stopped to see if he did the Captain Hook photo, he had no idea what I was talking about but I had him take our picture anyways.

Eek!

We didn't know that the pirate had snuck into the photo till we looked on the photopass site when we got home. I love the look on the kid's face.

While deciding what to do next Erich told us about what he had been up to while we were on Splash. He had wandered over to Main Street and caught these guys.

He also said that he saw Ariel and Eric and Aladdin and Jasmine out and suggested that we head over to see them.

We hopped in Aladdin and Jasmine's line. It didn't look too long but they went on break shortly after we got in line and they took a lot of time with each family so the line was slow moving. It was unbelievably hot by that time and most of the line was out in the sun. I think I downed a couple bottles of water while we stood in that line, it was brutal! I suggested to Mom that she should go find a seat nearby in the shade rather than stand in line with us so that it would not be so painful. She got mad at me around this time, not sure why, apparently I had "made a face" and she thought I was insulting her. I wasn't just to be clear, I was just trying to look out for her since I knew that the heat and her MS were causing her issues and she is usually too proud to saying anything to us about it.

Erich took a famous Brothers Grimm butt shot of Aladdin. If you have read my 2008 report you will know that butt shots were the photo theme of that trip.

As we inched closer to the front of the line we were able to squeeze into the shade offered by the awning, it felt like it dropped 20 degrees just by stepping into the shade, sweet relief!

We finally got to meet Aladdin and Jasmine. I can not for the life of me remember what we talked about with them but apparently it was pretty funny. I think it had something to do with Canada and snow.

After our meet and greet with Aladdin and Jasmine we needed a treat to help us cool down. Where could we be headed for refreshment?

I remember laughing a lot with Aladdin when I met him.

You made me realize that the last time I went on Splash was in 2000. I'm long overdue.

 

[ZFamily5]

Sounds like you had a great time! Can't wait to read more!

We did aside from the headache of not being able to find Erich!

 

[mrssmith06]

I'm hoping I can brave riding Splash next trip!!!
I didn't even know you could find Aladdin and Jasmine in MK

You should ride it! It is one of the best rides at WDW and the drop isn't that bad.

...Lessa...Lessa...Lessa... I can't believe get all the facts so terribly wrong... First of all as you all know Erich and I LOVE goofy, I mean he may be the ONLY reason we go to Disney at all. SO I see the one and only Dippity Dawg and get all pumped up and Lessa says something along the lines of screw Erich we're getting our picture taken with the goofmeister because Erich was to cowardly to go on splash mountain ! I, in near shock at Lessa's nastiness, decided to go find Erich but after making the rounds around the whole frontier land about twice I decided to use my mad Detective Skillz because clearly something had happened to Erich the 2 hours we waited in line for Splash.

Disney is the worst place to lose someone. Can you find Erich? he is there.

After climbing to the top of Splash mountain to get the best view

I still couldn't find him so I thought maybe the Union Reps of the Canadian Post Office got him! So I decided to run back and find the only help I could rely on the Big Man himself Goofy.

Now as you can see Lessa was PO'd that I not only came back without Erich but I was interupting their photo session which Lessa said she'd wait till I found Erich and made sure he was safe.

Goofy told me the hurry quickly to his super secret area where he could get on his manly clothes so he'd be ready for anything while he got ready I explained to him the horrible thing that had befell our family.

So off we went to the only place the Union would have been able to drive their evil postal trucks around Main Street.

And what would you know there they were trying to get the US postal services to join their worldwide anti-mail delivery evilness!!!

Things got a little hectic as my 10 foot tall friend caught a few missles and threw them back at their postal trucks of doom.

We Captured one of the Union Reps who was trying to run away with what looked like a dog. After apprehending the man we discovered their true reason for them going on strike it was to make a army of Cerberus' out of regular dogs

Goofy Used his magic Dippity dawg powers to turn the poor creature back into three fluffy puppies.

We then interogated him about my brother and he told us that Erich had seen their evilness while down on main street watching the parade thing that they had set up to hide their maniacle plans, But Erich was to smart to be fooled by a parade, but after sneaking around trying to save the dogs from being turned evil they caught him and locked him up.

Goofy used his super strength to tear apart the prison cell bars with his bare hands the sheer act of awesomeness of this happening made all electronics stop working or else I would have recorded it.

Around this time Erich and I had been gone from Lessa and mom long enough that Lessa was furious and because the Postal Union matter was still going on and not resolved Erich and I had to make up a plan fast to keep all this a secret until Canada could deal with its Postal problems without the help from the Amazingly awesome Brothers.

Lessa, your brother(s) sure know how to bring a smile to my face after two gloomy days!

Great update; love the Splash Mountain photos. And the FastPass pics with the pirate in the background are a hoot.

 

[PlutosRHM55]

That is a great on-ride photo from Splash Mountain. I think those are always great photos. It catches you in the moment, when you can't even find yourself and it is just hilarious. And that's awesome you actually got a picture just as your going down the drop That's funny, you couldn't find Erich. You see him when you are coming around on the ride and you couldn't find him, even though you knew where he was LOL But I totally understand how that can happen, especially after the craziness of Splash Also, love the pictures with Goofy and Jasmine and Aladdin. LOL at the random pirate in the background Hahahaha Can't wait to read more!

 

[englishrose47]

Oh the joy of the Bros version of events !!!

Glad they make you smile!

I laughed when I saw that Pirate in the photo, an unexpected but nice surprise!

It was very busy so I can understand why Alek didn't see him right away, too many people in the way!

Oh the joy of the Bros version of events !!!

Yes, we all know how you love the brothers! You even believe their version events over mine sometimes!

 

[mom3sonstt]

...Lessa...Lessa...Lessa... I can't believe get all the facts so terribly wrong...

Well, it's a good thing we have you around when Lessa tries to tell us all the tall tales!

 

[oOJulieOo]

Ugh! Searching for people in Disney World is the worst! Such a waste of precious time.

I just have to let you know that every time I click on your TR to read, that song gets stuck in my head! Thanks a lot!!!!

 

[pinkxray]

I hate getting separated at Disney. It is impossible to find someone there. If only Erich had just gone on the best ride ever, this could have all been avoided.

 

[UGAFan0829]

My guess is that you made a stop by Aloha Isle for a cool down treat!! Am I right?
