Love all your updates! It's neat to be able to watch the video clips - the tour of your AKL room was fun. You guys seem like you are having a such a great time, I hope I run into you in September - I think our trips overlap by one day
Oh yeah and I love that laptop guy - I don't even know what to think about him!

Gosh,, Everyone has already said all the good stuff,,

So Im just going to say , glad you had a great trip and
I love reading your trip reports.

Thank you so much for sharing your trip with me.

 

[RachelNinja]

I'm caught up! Absolutely love your TR and your sense of humor! Haha, I'm slightly nervous about going on EE (even though I'm nowhere near my next WDW trip since it's unplanned at this moment!). If reciting the 23rd Psalm helped, I'll definitely keep that in mind! Can't wait for more

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Hey Glenda! Sorry I am so late in getting over here, I just found your report tonight. You and MM look like you are having so much fun! It is amazing the real life friendships that can spring up from the internet.

Day 4 cont.

At the end of the last installment, MadiMouse (MM), Snowbell and I were at Magic Kingdom (MK).

Snowbell was about to split from us to meet her Mom and Aunt at Splash Mountain.

After we (sadly) said our goodbyes, MM and I headed to our favorite - Thunder Mountain!

After screaming on Thunder Mountain, yet again, we decided to take the train over to the other side of the park so MM could ride Space Mountain. While on the platform, we could see Snowbell's Mom and Aunt by Splash Mountain - but no Snowbell. Oh well, there goes my chance to yell "HEEYYYYY SNOWBELL"!!!!!!!!

Finally the train arrived . . .

I saw the command on the train to do some crazy dancing!

I forgot about the little scenes in the woods . . .

When we got to Space Mountain, the wait was about an hour. So MM got a Fast Pass, and we headed over to Liberty Tree Tavern for our lunch reservation. We were a bit early, but at least we would be waiting in AIR CONDITIONING!

Much to our surprise, they were able to take us rather quickly. While the CM was walking us to our table, I was surprised at the number of kids running around! He ended up leading us to a table right by the staircase where most of the running was taking place. Before we sat down, I asked if we could move to another table with less traffic. Then MM goes, "Look, they decorated the table for your bday". I couldn't get a great shot of it, but there was Mickey confetti all over the table. It was cute.

So after seeing the table, I took it! Hey, it was nice that MM mentioned my bday to them and that they decorated the table! Thanks MM and LTT!!!

I really like the vibe of this restaurant. I love the outfits that the CMs wear.

Now, here comes our waiter. A Chocolate (but short) and beautiful man named Content from I think, the Virgin Islands. When we took the pic together, at first, he had his face REALLY close to mine, but then he backed up just a little right as MM took the pic. HA!

What I've neglected to report is that during our time together in the parks, MM would point out men who were checking me out - which I never noticed. (I think when men saw that MM was married, I probably got her left-overs! HA!!!) However, there was no way I couldnt notice this guy flirting with me. Gorgeous AND an accent. But he was sooo short, and he was not my new sweetie!

The menu was just ok. I think I would rather pay cash for this place, than use a table service credit since it wasnt super-duper expensive, and they just had regular American food. It was really good though. MM has pics of the food - so hopefully, she'll post those later.

For appetizers, we ordered: Maryland Crab Cake - a lightly fried Blue Crab Cake on roasted corn succotash with tartar sauce ($7.49) and Tavern Fried Cheese - with marinara sauce ($5.29). Understand, I live in Baltimore, so I thought the crab cake was good, but not AWESOME. The succotash was chilled and DEE-LEE-SHOUS!!! Loved it!

The fried cheese was GAH-RATE!!! The shorter pieces were white cheese (AWESOME!!!), and the longer, Mozzerella (REALLY GOOD).

To drink, I got the rasberry lemonade (I THINK that what it was). It was SOOOO good. (Content suggested with a sly sexy smile that I get it.)

For our entree, (I think) we both got the Angus Chuck Cheeseburger topped with bacon and cheddar or mushrooms and provolone served with tavern fries ($11.99). It was really good.

For dessert, I got the Strawberry Shortcake -- pound cake with vanilla bean ice cream, berries, and whipped cream ($5.49) It wasnt what I ghouth it was gonna be. It was just ok.

Now, MM got the Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake -- vanilla cake with a gooey toffee filling and caramel sauce ($4.99) IT WAS AWESOME!!!! Believe me, I tried, but I could NOT get a good shot at this WONDERFUL dessert! I was so glad that MM went ahead and let me eat most of it. MM if I didnt tell you then, THANK YOU!!!!!

While we're enjoying BOTH desserts, Content and few others come from behind me, announce my bday, and sing a little song! I believe MM got a pic of this. And they gave me a chocolate cup cake! MM really liked it, so she finished it off!

At the end of our meal, Content asked what we were doing that night. I dont remember what we said. We chatted a bit more, then had to go. I would definetly eat here again, but pay cash, and save the table service more pricey restaurants.

After we made our way through the people waiting in the lobby, we pushed the doors open, only to be greeted by vapors from HELL!!!! We both backed in the lobby, where I did a woredrobe change. I put on my hat and pulled out my sunglasses. I hope that I didnt look like a robber, but with the HEAT and the SUN, I didnt really care. So soon, we took a deep breath, and made our way back out to the Magic Kingdom . . . .

Hey Glenda!

HI MM!!! I miss you!!!

Glendamax --

Love, love, love your trip reports!

I was there June 9-13 -- your comments about the heat are right on the money! I usually go in Jan./Feb., so I wasn't quite prepared.

Girl... if you are doing Everest and Thunder Mountain, you can SO do Space Mountain!!!

Anyway, just wanted to de-lurk for a moment and tell you that your trip reports are always a HOOT. -- Dave

Thank you for De-Lurking!!! I hope to get more of you to post!

As for Space Mountain, dropping several times in the dark does NOT sound like fun. How can that be fun?!

AND RnR!!!!

and splash mountain... lol

YOU TWO!!!! PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE!!!!

Love all your updates! It's neat to be able to watch the video clips - the tour of your AKL room was fun. You guys seem like you are having a such a great time, I hope I run into you in September - I think our trips overlap by one day
Oh yeah and I love that laptop guy - I don't even know what to think about him!

Yes, that guy still puzzles me. I hope we'll run into each other in September!

I think I need to make t'shirts....

OH Amanda . . . what am I going to do with you?!!!

Gosh,, Everyone has already said all the good stuff,,

So Im just going to say , glad you had a great trip and
I love reading your trip reports.

Thank you so much for sharing your trip with me.

Hey June! I'm glad you found me! Glad you've enjoyed it so far!

I'm caught up! Absolutely love your TR and your sense of humor! Haha, I'm slightly nervous about going on EE (even though I'm nowhere near my next WDW trip since it's unplanned at this moment!). If reciting the 23rd Psalm helped, I'll definitely keep that in mind!

HA! Hopefullyl it'll help. To me, the worse part is the backwards part. But after riding it a few times, I think being afraid made it worse than what it really is. The first time you ride though, make sure you didnt just eat, in case it makes your stomach feel funny. Overall, it's a fun ride!

Hey Glenda! Sorry I am so late in getting over here, I just found your report tonight. You and MM look like you are having so much fun! It is amazing the real life friendships that can spring up from the internet.

Yes! It's really great! I hope that we'll be friends for a long time!

Hope you'll enjoy the rest of the report!

 

[averill94]

Love the report Glenda!! How fun. Amazing with each of your reports you have a real fresh way of looking at things as if it were your first time! I love your reporting!

Thanks for sharing,
Margaret

Day 4 cont.

After I got suited up to face the afternoon heat, MadiMouse and I headed out of the Liberty Tree Tavern towards Fantasy Land. Since Snowbell wanted to skip Small World earlier, we decided to go for that first. Well, for some reason, ALL of MK was in line! The line extended to the left of the building before being able to get in the line inside Small World. Below is a video clip. Keep in mind that it was BLAZING hot, which is why the quality isn't too good!



MM and I were disappointed that we had to skip SW. But fortunantly a showing for Philharmagic was starting, so we went in. This show is so good! Again, we encountered some rude people who started pushing when the doors openned. So I just let them go ahead of me, and we sat about 3 rows from the front. The effects were great!

On our way to the other side of the park, I saw something I've never seen - the Step-Sisters! I wanted to run in front of those kids so badly to have my pic taken with them!

Soon after spotting them, MM needed the restroom. So while she was in there, I called my Mother, and my brother happened to be there! So I got to tell them both at the same time about my trip. When I told my Mother that I had on a Tinkerbell shirt and Hat, she said "Oh Lord", and figured that I looked like a FREAK! So I took a pic to show her that I didnt.

After MM's pitstop, we still had time before her Space Mountain Fass Pass, we headed to the TTC. This is a favorite of ours now, because this is the first thing we rode together when we met in December! I remember walking straight pass the stroller parking, forgetting that I was with a young family!

With even more time to kill, we headed to Carosel of Progress. I hadnt been on that in YEARS! A really fat, ROUND man with a hat and cane, sat on the last row in the far corner. After the show started, MM told me to look at him. He had fallen asleep with his mouth open. His head had tilted ALL THE WAY BACK! I nearly screamed from laughter. That man was KNOCKED OUT for most of the show! Then on our left, another man was sleep too, and softly snoring. Oh Gosh, this was getting contagous! All I could think of was being back at AKL with that wonderful view as my eyes got heavier and heavier . . . But WAIT! I have to take some pics for the DIS!

Finally I got a shot of the scene where he has the shoes on the wrong feet!

Way to go Grandma!

When it was time to leave, the ROUND MAN (I think he even had on suspenders), woke with a start! When he stood up, he stumbled like a drunk man! I thought MM and I would fall down with laughter! That was the funniest thing I saw the whole trip!

Now remember, I forgot to take notes, so MM let me know when the next thing happend . . .

At some point, MM wanted a snack. Near the TTC, she found cream cheese-filled pretzels. I didnt want a snack, because it was sooooo HOT! Well, MM let me taste it . . . then I became consumed with thoughts of how I was going to kill - no - distract her so I could have it for myself (MY Precious!)
But the kind-hearted MM said, "Here, take half". Me: "Are you shuurrre (My Precious!) . . . Really"? MM: "Here"! Of course I started to feel bad after plotting her DE-MYYYYYZZZZ!

As we sat there, she pointed out a woman with about 3 kids. She had a cooler that resembled a rolling suitcase. Each of the kids were sitting with two slices of bread in their hands. One-by-one, she squeezed mayonaise from a full sized bottle on the bread. Then the meat. They sat there very quietly and orderly as they ate their lunch. MM and I were wondering if we sat at the end, would she give us food too!

Soon it was time for Space Mountain. I was beat! Normally, I'm out of the park around noon, and it was almost 2pm. So I told MM that after she got off the ride I HAD to leave the park. I THINK the Fast Pass line was about 30mins (is that right MM?). Now, this was a BIG mistake I made. This is the wrong line to stand in if you're tired. They play slow "Spacey" music, it's cool and dark. I wanted to LAY on that floor so badly! HA!

When it was time for MM to board, I must've looked REALLY tired, because she told me that I didnt have to wait for her to get off! HA! But I stayed. She enjoyed her second ride as well!

After we exited the ride, I headed for main street and the park's exit. I couldn't wait to get to my DVC home. But something caught my eye on the way out . . .

Day 4 sounds like another great day at the Magic Kingdom, but now we have to wait to find out what caught your eye, not fair.

Glad you enjoyed Liberty Tree Traven and the AIR CONDITIONING, it is one of my favorite places to slow down, and relax during the midday crunch.

Have a great 4th of July.

my precious!!!! as a huge lord of the rings fan, i really appreciate this and truly did spit out my morning coffee while reading it!

 

[DisGal520]

Glenda - puleeeze - what is a fellow Bal'morean doing ordering crabcakes anywhere but at home!

Once had a waiter in a FL restaurant steer me away from the crabcakes when I told him I was from Maryland - "then you'll be wanting the chicken salad special" he said. LOL!

Omg this made me laugh so hard. I just picture you all curled up on the floor sleeping.

Get ready, cause the next time you are in line for Space Mountain, we are RIDING IT BABY!!!

Didn't you just the stepsisters??? When we were there we did wait in line to see them. They were soooo in character and awesome!!! Here's some pics of our encounter with them (I'm the one with my hand on my hip!):

 

[snowbell]

Great update!! I love the pictures of COP., I did that as well when I was there and of course I did not recoginze the shoes on the wrong feet...
It was soooo hot that day. I was eating my turkey leg and then I just had to get out of the park to go swimming... but alas - that is when the clouds rolled in.
Those desserts at LTT looked yummy. I have never been there. DBF always wants to eat at pinnochio village haus -- loves them turkey paninis.

I especially love the "Of course I started to feel bad after plotting her DE-MYYYYYZZZZ!"

 

[Pryncesa]

Great installment! I'm just loving all the pictures and video.

Too funny about the men sleeping on CoP. And, I can totally understand how you would want to sleep in line for SM. If there was a bed there, it would certainly be the perfect sleeping conditions.

Looking forward to what's next. What caught your eye on the way out? hmmmm

 

[mom2jcc]

I just found your trippie early this morning and remembered how I enjoyed your last one so much. I am happy to report that I just got caught up (5 hours later....I have 2 yr old twins so there was some mommy duties in between installments.

I was so happy to read the part about at EE you look around to see that there are kids riding it, too. I TOTALLY do that everytime, too. First, I scope out the ones getting off the ride to see if anyone is horrified and they never are But, I am a chicken and never have ridden Dinosaur.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your trip with us. I don't want it to end!

 

[VandyFan10]

Now, MM got the Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake -- vanilla cake with a gooey toffee filling and caramel sauce ($4.99) IT WAS AWESOME!!!! Believe me, I tried, but I could NOT get a good shot at this WONDERFUL dessert! I was so glad that MM went ahead and let me eat most of it. MM if I didnt tell you then, THANK YOU!!!!!

OK....I just saw this on someone elses TR and I think I'm thinking this is a MUST if I'm hungry and can get in there to get even one to GO!!!

That does look AWESOME!!!!!

Will have to read the rest later.....back to work
