How Many Times Did I Meet Pluto This Trip? A Dec Solo TR - New TR Link 11/30!

[missjackiemcg]

I love that you accidentally ordered cookie dough instead of cookies. Total oops, but I would have been overjoyed and snacked on it all week (I always ignored my mother's warning that cookie dough contains eggs. I just can't help myself!! ) Do you use Garden Grocer? We have always just shipped things to the resort ourselves, but would like to get beverages, etc. for our next trip and were thinking about using a delivery service. Any advice is appreciated.

I like your decorations for the window, too! Very magical! Our first year at Christmas, my Mom and I put up some window clings and that was it. The next time we brought one strand of lights for the window. Last year I somehow managed to squeeze a two foot tree with lights and ornaments in my suitcase along with Disney holiday clings and an inflatable wreath. I can't wait to go again and see what I'll manage to bring!

 

[PlutosRHM55]

Love the Dooney & Bourke purse! Such a thoughtful gift for your mom. Glad to hear she liked it.

to your Enchanted Tiki Room shirt! I'm sorry your experience was kind of ruined though. I can't believe the lady didn't just move her sons apart from the start. I can only imagine how many others that whole scene bothered. Ugh, some people.

The Jingle Cruise looks so cute! One of the best holiday overlays I've seen yet. Love how Ginger and Smiley have boots for stockings. So perfect.

Can't wait to read more!

 

[KatMark]

Okay, finally caught up.

Happy you had an uneventful flight and that your room was ready (All Star Movies is only All Star we've not stayed at).

Glad you got your chicken fingers.

Nice catch on Tink only have a very short wait, and great pictures with her.

I thought your pictures of the parade were pretty darn good. We never did see it and it is on my definite to do list in October.

Enjoyed the Jingle Cruise pictures; we skipped that a year ago to see Pooh and Tigger instead.

 

[MEK]

Adorable veras.

Adorable bag for your mom. What a lovely gift!

Ugh to the disruption in the Tiki Room. Being the mother of two boys I am only all too familiar with that scenario. You definitely have to separate them. Sorry it ruined it for you.

Love the JC pictures. I really like the Christmas overlay. I know some people don't, but I think its really cute.

 

[rteetz]

Finally caught up! Just got back from our trip to Disney. Glad you got that purse for your mom, my mom loves the dooney and bourkes as well. At the marathon expo I had to get her the marathon weekend themed dooney and bourke.

 

[Pluto0809]

I love the purse you got for your mom, and I'm glad she liked it!

It is a very pretty purse. A little big for my taste but exactly what she wanted.

Ugh sorry your time at the Tiki Room wasn't enjoyable.

It was awful! I understand that kids will fight sometimes but she should have done something about it sooner.

Good use of FP on Jungle Cruise! Love the photos.

Everything had wait times like that so I was certainly glad I could schedule my FP ahead of time for this day!

Great update! I haven't seen any jIngle cruise pictures!!! LOVE THEM! 60 minutes is a wee bit crazy.

All the wait times were crazy that day but I wasn't surprised since it was the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I've got lots more photos of the Jingle Cruise since I rode it two more times.

I just adore your castle shot!

Thanks! Did you see the mess they have going now with construction walls in front of the castle and the Partners statue covered? Glad I missed that!

That Vera you got is my favorite of the Disney patterns! In fact I liked it so much when I saw it on the Disney Parks Blog that I made a special trip over to Downtown Disney to get it on the first day it was available on my last night in Disney back in September! But ya know, it was casual. Point is, it's awesome and I'm glad you found the matching card holder! It's SO CUTE.

I do love that Vera pattern. I debated between that one and the pink pattern but blue is just really my color so I'm not surprised I went with that one. What I really want is a pattern with Pluto on it.

What an awesome Christmas gift for your mom. I bet she loves it!! Hopefully you found the Dooney you were searching for too!

She did love it although I did get a little lecture about the money I spent. Nope, never did find the one I was looking for. And it's still not back in stock on the Disney site. I don't want to order it though because it has Pluto along with other characters and of course I want one with Pluto on the front.

Apparently the Jingle Cruise was much better this year than last year! At least, that's what I heard. Sounds awesome, looks awesome, works for me! Glad you enjoyed it!

It was. I didn't actually ride it last year but did watch the you tube video of the 2013 version. I was pleasantly surprised because the 2014 version was better than I was expecting.

What a nice gift for your mom. Hey, shopping for parents is hard. I agree, if there's something you know they like, you get it.

Definitely! I always struggle with gifts for her so when she mentions something I jump on it.

Oh my goodness, what an unpleasant sounding Tiki Room. Oy.

It was! I'm a pretty patient person but boy, that was out of control.

I enjoyed the Jingle Cruise last year. I was a bit disappointed at the time that there wasn't more to it, but the extras were cute. It looks like they may have added tiny bit more this year, so that's good.

I'm pretty sure they did add a lot more. There was a lot more along the ride that I didn't get photos of that time. It was a lot of fun.

Hi Ariana! I'm finally here. I've been off the DIS more than on for the last 2 or 3 months, sorry to say. The very first time we stayed on property, we stayed at All Star Movies and we loved it! Of course, the decor has changed inside the rooms, but we just loved the whole flavor of the resort.

I totally understand, I was off from Thanksgiving till after New Year's myself. For me it was more about the Disney Blues after my last trip. I had a hard time getting back on here at first knowing I didn't have another trip planned. Whenever you can stop in is fine by me. I did enjoy the decor at ALL Star Movies. Pop only wins for me because of the slightly better food court.

I'm loving all your pics! Going at Christmas is the best! We've been twice and there's just soooo much to see, I know we'll go back again some time. I love the shots of you and Think! They really do make it easy to talk to them. I'm so glad you decided to do that. The parade looks awesome. We've never stopped to watch it, but maybe we'll do that next trip because your photos made it look so fun!

It was a lot of fun going at Christmas. I wish I could go every year! The parade is very nice. I'm not really a parade person but the costumes are fabulous and worth at least one viewing.

Yikes! The Tiki Room ruckus was such a shame. Mom should have taken them both out as soon as they started disrupting everything. I don't blame you for having it spoil the experience. Glad you had the Jingle Cruise to look forward to. I'll admit that that is my least favorite thing at MK, but it might be worth a try for the holiday theme.

Yeah, it wouldn't have been so bad if she would have handled it immediately rather than yelling at them for half the show. I do like the Jungle Cruise but can almost do the spiel along with the captain now since I've ridden it so many times. I really enjoyed the Christmas theme as it was like a whole new ride.


Love watching the Dapper Dans!! And I love the bag you got for your Mom! It's always great to buy something and KNOW that they will love it! I also like your Vera Bradley bag, but most of all I love seeing your Pluto bag from D~!

I have yet to catch a whole set of the Dapper Dans. I always seem to stubble upon them when they are almost done. Something else to add to the list for a future visit. You will be seeing a lot of my Pluto bags this trip! I only brought my two Pluto ones since I was only wearing Pluto gear.

I will check in every once in a while. I'm not getting on the DIS much while we're remodeling the condo (still!!). We hope to get it on the market in February some time. We didn't want to put it on in January, thinking more people will be looking after January. Who knows? Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading more about your trip. You always have so many great photos, its just so easy to put myself there. Keep it up!

Good luck with selling the condo!

P.S. Did Jim get more Lego sets for Christmas?? My grandchildren are so into them and they all got Legos this year. (even the little got the dupelo sets!) I just love helping them put them together!

Jim got six (yes six!) sets for Christmas. I got him a train. My Brother & SIL got him the Burj Khalifa building because he really likes the Architecture sets. My Mom got him the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center and a Star Wars Set. And a friend got him one of the Lego City sets, a Wind Turbine or something like that. Then for his birthday which was January 11th, I got him a Lego gift card and two Star Wars micro sets. Mom got him another one of the Architecture sets, Falling Water.

I love that you accidentally ordered cookie dough instead of cookies. Total oops, but I would have been overjoyed and snacked on it all week (I always ignored my mother's warning that cookie dough contains eggs. I just can't help myself!! ) Do you use Garden Grocer? We have always just shipped things to the resort ourselves, but would like to get beverages, etc. for our next trip and were thinking about using a delivery service. Any advice is appreciated.

I probably would have gone ahead and eaten it but I had just read an article about a lady who had died after eating raw cookie dough and getting salmonella. That made me hesitate a bit.

Yes, I used Garden Grocer. This was the second time using them and I have been very pleased both times. We had trouble getting the order delivered to our room at Coronado Springs but that had nothing to do with Garden Grocer. They delivered the food to the resort right on time but it took Bell Services an hour and a half to deliver it to our room. This trip I didn't have that problem at all. It's nice because you can order cold stuff and Bell Services will keep it in there fridge till you can either pick it up or have it delivered to your room. Garden Grocer does require a minimum purchase but it's no problem when you are ordering for more than one person. I was a little short this time so I ordered two packages of fishy crackers because I knew I could take those home. Oh, and if you order somewhat in advance (can't remember if it was 15 days or 30 days) you can get a discount. Hopefully that answers your questions but if you have any more, ask away!

I like your decorations for the window, too! Very magical! Our first year at Christmas, my Mom and I put up some window clings and that was it. The next time we brought one strand of lights for the window. Last year I somehow managed to squeeze a two foot tree with lights and ornaments in my suitcase along with Disney holiday clings and an inflatable wreath. I can't wait to go again and see what I'll manage to bring!

I thought about bringing more but I just didn't have room in my suitcase. I am a serious overpacker and I was there for 8 days.

Love the Dooney & Bourke purse! Such a thoughtful gift for your mom. Glad to hear she liked it.

Thanks! She really did love it.

to your Enchanted Tiki Room shirt! I'm sorry your experience was kind of ruined though. I can't believe the lady didn't just move her sons apart from the start. I can only imagine how many others that whole scene bothered. Ugh, some people.

I couldn't believe she let it go on so long either! I was not happy.

The Jingle Cruise looks so cute! One of the best holiday overlays I've seen yet. Love how Ginger and Smiley have boots for stockings. So perfect.

I thought the boot stockings were pretty cool too! And there was more stuff that I didn't get pictures of.

Can't wait to read more!

Coming up! I'm hoping to keep up a pace of 2 updates a week so I can keep this one moving. I took a ton of pictures on this trip so it will take me a while to get through the whole thing.

Okay, finally caught up.

Hi Kathy! So glad you are here.

Happy you had an uneventful flight and that your room was ready (All Star Movies is only All Star we've not stayed at).

It was definitely an easy, stress free morning.

Glad you got your chicken fingers.

I was too. I eat chicken fingers constantly but there is just something about those Disney ones.

Nice catch on Tink only have a very short wait, and great pictures with her.

I was shocked to see the five minute wait since it was always so much longer when she was in Adventureland. I wasn't going to pass up that opportunity.

I thought your pictures of the parade were pretty darn good. We never did see it and it is on my definite to do list in October.

You should definitely try to catch it, it's so much better in person.

Enjoyed the Jingle Cruise pictures; we skipped that a year ago to see Pooh and Tigger instead.

I always try to get on it at least once. I actually rode it three times this trip.

Adorable veras.

Thanks, I love that blue pattern!

Adorable bag for your mom. What a lovely gift!

Ugh to the disruption in the Tiki Room. Being the mother of two boys I am only all too familiar with that scenario. You definitely have to separate them. Sorry it ruined it for you.

I can't believe she waited half the show to separate them. If she had done it right away I probably wouldn't have cared. I do understand that kids are going to fight once in a while, just do something about it!

Love the JC pictures. I really like the Christmas overlay. I know some people don't, but I think its really cute.

I thought it was very cute and a nice change from the regular ride.

Finally caught up! Just got back from our trip to Disney. Glad you got that purse for your mom, my mom loves the dooney and bourkes as well. At the marathon expo I had to get her the marathon weekend themed dooney and bourke.

I hope you had a wonderful time! Let me know if you do a TR and I'll join in. I saw the Marathon Dooney's online and thought they were pretty cute even though they didn't have Pluto on them.

 

[Pluto0809]

Lines were crazy everywhere but I still had some time before my dinner ADR so I wandered a bit. I thought about Pirates but it was too long of a wait. I headed on through Fronterland. The crowds don’t look too horrible in this one.



I’m not sure why I didn’t stop there to see the Country Bears, guess I just wasn’t feeling it at the moment. Instead I moved on till I ended up in Fantasyland and decided to go see Mickey’s Philharmagic.





Mom and I had missed it in October so I was glad to see it this trip. My dinner ADR was fast approaching at this point and it was at Tony’s all the way back at the entrance so I headed that way. I took a few pictures near the front of the park since I didn’t do so when I got there.







I checked in about 15 minutes before my ADR and the lobby was packed with people waiting. It was super loud in there and really hard to hear the CMs who were calling the parties. They don’t use pagers at the restaurant, instead they call each party by name. I keep worrying that I was missing them calling me because I just couldn’t hear.

There was a CM doing trivia but after he told everyone that Space Mountain only goes 4 miles an hour I lost interest and walked closer to the podium where they were calling names. Every self-respecting Disney expert knows it goes 27 miles an hour (OK, I confess, I looked that up). Finally about 10 minutes after my ADR time, I heard my name called and headed back into the restaurant.

Here’s the view from my seat.



This was my first time eating at Tony’s and I knew going in that it got pretty mixed reviews but I always like to form my own opinion. I was served some bread first.



I totally did not think I would like it (you know, that pickiness thing I have going), but was surprised to find it quite tasty. Of course I didn’t touch the oil that came with it.

For my entree, I ordered Chicken Parmesan but asked them to hold the cheese. Cheese is one of the foods I have to be careful with as it sometimes irritates my stomach. I certainly did not want to start out the trip feeling sick. The waitress did warn me that there was some cheese in the breading but a little is usually OK. When she brought it out though, it had the cheese on it. She caught it right away and took it back before she even set it down on the table. It wasn’t but a minute or two before they brought out a new one without cheese.



So, did Tony’s live up to its reputation? Sadly, yes. While the meal was edible, when I compare it to Mama Melrose at HS or Tutto Italia at Epcot, this paled in comparison. One comment I’ve seen a lot is that the sauce is watery and that was very true. I just wasn’t impressed with the meal at all. But at least now I can say I gave it a try and formed my own opinion.

I was already within my next FP+ time when I finished dinner. It was for the Haunted Mansion from 7:10 – 8:10 pm. I definitely did not want to miss that FP because HM would be closing on 12/1 for renovations so this night was the only chance I would get to ride. So I quickly headed back down Main Street towards Liberty Square. When I got to the hub I ran into a wall of people. I realized I was just in time for the 7:30 castle lighting. I weaved my way forward a bit and found this spot to watch. I had actually watched it on the internet before coming but decided to stay and see it live any way.



Frozen fever was sure in full force this night judging by the mass of people waiting for the show. And this was the second one for the night. I’ve never watched the castle lighting before, does anyone know if this is normal or just more Frozen craziness?





I zoomed in the best I could to get some blurry pictures of Anna and Elsa.



Olaf is in the next picture if you squint hard enough.



Elsa did some of her magic and lit up the castle for the night. That was basically the whole show, not sure why it took 10 minutes. A few more pictures.

















Once the show was over, I fought my way through the crowds and continued on towards the Haunted Mansion.

Up Next: The Cupcake Quest Begins

 

[cheekypoppins]

I haven't been on these boards in sooooooo long ,but I finally found my way here today and I'm very excited to see all of the adventures you had on this trip especially

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

HAHA, I often take that Frontierland photo as well. It gets so crazy in that area that it's a pretty good indicator of overall crowds.

Not feeling Country Bears??? Oh all right, I'll let it slide.

4 miles an hour?? He really said that??? I know it's actually slow (and feels much faster than it is) but can you imagine it going 4 miles an hour? The ride would last forever.

I think the castle lighting is one of Disney's true treasures. I love the castle in the dream lights. I'm not particularly thrilled that they switched in the Frozen crew for it though. Cinderella should be involved with her castle in my opinion. It still looks pretty though.

 

[missangelalexis]

No Country Bears? I'm shocked! But Philharmagic is a good alternative, in my opinion

I'm sorry the general opinion about Tony's was correct At least you tried it for yourself and know to cross it off the list for the future.

I think changing it over from Cinderella to Frozen has made the lighting insane! Nonetheless, I still enjoyed watching the dream lights come on, so pretty.

 

[Chicago Mo]

Oh Magic kingdom.. What i wouldn't give to be there right now!!!

your castle pictures are fantastic. Yes they do a lighting show.. I am not so happy with Elsa doing it on Cindy's castle.. Go get your own.


Sorry about Tony's! We have been there for breakfast and really enjoyed it! It was when they still did the grand gathering!

ohhh oil and bread is one of my downfalls. i can eat it forever..


right now i have wine on the brain...


that's your fault..

 

[missjackiemcg]

Maybe you already noticed but I was excited to spot a hidden Mickey in the white specks on the french horn painting from the PhilarMagic queue!!

I think I shared with you during your PTR that we had a similar experience at Tony's. I love the ambiance there, and we were lucky enough to be seated out on the porch facing Main Street during SpectroMagic (now you see how long ago that was!) on New Year's Eve! We were all so excited for it to be so very magical....until the food showed up and it was just disappointing. My Dad had the steak and was in love with his meal while the rest of us sat with our spaghetti feeling pretty wah, wah. At least you gave it a shot though. We usually do that, too. Take in some advice and then just give it a try!

Thanks for the info on Garden Grocer, too. I wondered how that worked with things that need to be refrigerated, etc. Next time we go we'll be traveling with a party of six or so, so we should have no trouble with their order minimums

 

[KatMark]

We missed Mickey's Philharmagic in September as it was closed. I can't wait to see it again in May.

I'm sorry you were disappointed with Tony's. I'd say I told you so, but I won't. They do have good bread going for them.

The castle sure is beautiful all lit up.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Tony is hit and miss!

I didn't think we would like it; but the pasta was decent enough when we were there. The sauce wasn't too watery and it was tasty enough. So for me, it was decent. Not great, but good enough.

Shame you didn't like the meal there.


Nice pictures of Frozen and the Castle.

 

[katt789]

I'm here!
Finally made it & hope to be staying caught up! Bahhaa.

Looks like a pretty good start to a trip, and hey, cookie dough can be tastier than cookies some times! Bahha.

AsMovies is a great resort, I really do like it there!

Nice FOF shots, even from behind people they're great!

Ugh, frozen....the castle lighting....like...i dont know why people went so insane over it! it was just okay lol

 

[Pluto0809]

I haven't been on these boards in sooooooo long ,but I finally found my way here today and I'm very excited to see all of the adventures you had on this trip especially

Hi Carrie! So glad you made it here.

HAHA, I often take that Frontierland photo as well. It gets so crazy in that area that it's a pretty good indicator of overall crowds.

It was a bit crowded that night but nothing that I wasn't prepared for.

Not feeling Country Bears??? Oh all right, I'll let it slide.

Well, I kept thinking about that because I couldn't understand why I didn't stop. But I finally remember that I had just missed the start of a show and I didn't want to wait the 15 minutes till the next one. I knew I had all week and would be back to MK multiple times so I wasn't worried about not seeing it that first night.

4 miles an hour?? He really said that??? I know it's actually slow (and feels much faster than it is) but can you imagine it going 4 miles an hour? The ride would last forever.

Yep, he really said that. He said that the special wind effects made it seem faster but I knew there was no way that was true.

I think the castle lighting is one of Disney's true treasures. I love the castle in the dream lights. I'm not particularly thrilled that they switched in the Frozen crew for it though. Cinderella should be involved with her castle in my opinion. It still looks pretty though.

I wasn't all that impressed with the Frozen show but I couldn't compare it to the Cinderella version because I never saw that one.

No Country Bears? I'm shocked! But Philharmagic is a good alternative, in my opinion

See my answer to Rob above, I finally remembered why I didn't go see it that night.


I'm sorry the general opinion about Tony's was correct At least you tried it for yourself and know to cross it off the list for the future.

Yep, I always like to try something at least once. Like I said it wasn't awful, just no where near as good as other Italian options at WDW.

I think changing it over from Cinderella to Frozen has made the lighting insane! Nonetheless, I still enjoyed watching the dream lights come on, so pretty.

I was very neat to see the lights turned on but I'm just starting to get to the point where I'm over the whole Frozen thing.

Oh Magic kingdom.. What i wouldn't give to be there right now!!!

Me too!

your castle pictures are fantastic. Yes they do a lighting show.. I am not so happy with Elsa doing it on Cindy's castle.. Go get your own.

Agreed, I do love the movie but I'm getting a little tired of the Frozen stuff. Jim and I ran errands yesterday and I couldn't tell you the number of stores that had Frozen related items.

Sorry about Tony's! We have been there for breakfast and really enjoyed it! It was when they still did the grand gathering!

I don't think they do breakfast any more do they?

ohhh oil and bread is one of my downfalls. i can eat it forever..

I did like the bread, oil not so much.


right now i have wine on the brain...


that's your fault..

Sorry! (not). I just posted more Food and Wine on the other TR so go do some drooling.

Maybe you already noticed but I was excited to spot a hidden Mickey in the white specks on the french horn painting from the PhilarMagic queue!!

There are multiple Hidden Mickeys in that mural. I didn't notice though that I had actually captured on in my photo.

I think I shared with you during your PTR that we had a similar experience at Tony's. I love the ambiance there, and we were lucky enough to be seated out on the porch facing Main Street during SpectroMagic (now you see how long ago that was!) on New Year's Eve! We were all so excited for it to be so very magical....until the food showed up and it was just disappointing. My Dad had the steak and was in love with his meal while the rest of us sat with our spaghetti feeling pretty wah, wah. At least you gave it a shot though. We usually do that, too. Take in some advice and then just give it a try!

I do remember that story. I was hoping that they might seat me outside but considering I waited 25 minutes I wasn't going to worry where they sat me.

Thanks for the info on Garden Grocer, too. I wondered how that worked with things that need to be refrigerated, etc. Next time we go we'll be traveling with a party of six or so, so we should have no trouble with their order minimums

You are welcome! Let me know if you have any more questions.

We missed Mickey's Philharmagic in September as it was closed. I can't wait to see it again in May.

I hadn't seen it since February so I was glad to have the opportunity this trip.

I'm sorry you were disappointed with Tony's. I'd say I told you so, but I won't. They do have good bread going for them.

Yeah, the bread was good which was something at least. And I didn't hate my meal, it just wasn't as good as other options at WDW.

The castle sure is beautiful all lit up.

It really is.

Tony is hit and miss!

I must have been there on a miss night.

I didn't think we would like it; but the pasta was decent enough when we were there. The sauce wasn't too watery and it was tasty enough. So for me, it was decent. Not great, but good enough.

Shame you didn't like the meal there.

Well, I didn't really dislike it. I was a little disappointed because I was comparing it to other Italian restaurants at WDW and this was definitely not as good.

Nice pictures of Frozen and the Castle.

Thanks, I wish I had been able to get closer so I could get better pictures of the Frozen characters but the crowds were insane.

I'm here!
Finally made it & hope to be staying caught up! Bahhaa.

Hi Katt! I totally understand if you get behind with as busy as you are.

Looks like a pretty good start to a trip, and hey, cookie dough can be tastier than cookies some times! Bahha.

I was a little scared to eat it because I had just read an article about a lady who ate cookie dough, got salmonella and died. Didn't want to ruin the rest of my week by doing that.

AsMovies is a great resort, I really do like it there!

I did enjoy the resort a lot.

Nice FOF shots, even from behind people they're great!

I did get a few to turn out nicely.

Ugh, frozen....the castle lighting....like...i dont know why people went so insane over it! it was just okay lol

I swear the whole Frozen thing is getting out of control. Actually it's been out of control for a while!

 

[Pluto0809]

I made in in plenty of time for my HM FP along with half of the crowd that just left the castle lighting. The FP line was pretty long and I ended up waiting about 15 minutes. I can’t remember what the wait time was on the regular line but I’m sure it was way longer than that. Standing in line for a bit did give me an opportunity to try for some spooky pictures.





Waiting in this line was the first time I got seriously annoyed by the “selfie sticks” or whatever they are called. I almost got smacked on the head with one. They were everywhere this trip and constantly in the way. Even though I know they won’t, I seriously wish Disney would ban them from the parks.

I always try to get pictures on the ride and sometimes I half succeed. Here’s the best from that night.



















I did not have dessert at Tony’s because nothing on the menu sounded appealing plus I had something else in mind to try. I had a little time before my final FP+ for the Mine Train so it was time for a snack. One thing I decided I wanted to do on this trip was try a bunch of different cupcakes. My goal was a different one each day if possible. My destination on this night was the Cheshire Café and their special cake cups. I really wanted to try the chocolate mocha one but unfortunately they only had strawberry and birthday cake. I went with the birthday cake one.



This was very good, super sweet and huge. I’m afraid I only made it through about two thirds before I got too full and a little overwhelmed by the sweetness. I think this would be a great snack to share with someone.

I used my final FP+ for the Mine Train next and did not take a single picture. And for some reason, I did not have a photo or video on in my PP account when I got home.

After the Mine Train, I headed back into Storybook Circus. Dumbo was a walk on so of course I took a flight. And as usual, I can’t resist taking pictures of this ride. I must have several hundred by now.







Continued in Next Post

 

[Pluto0809]

Continued From Previous Post









After Dumbo, I decided to take the back path to Tomorrowland to see how the lines were in that land. Space Mountain must have had a long wait because I ended up on the TTA.















I was getting a little tired and thought I better head out before Wishes at 10 pm so I didn’t get stuck in the crowds but as I walked past Buzz Lightyear, I noticed that the wait time was only 15 minutes.



I can never get Buzz’s face to turn out in photos.



I was thwarted again and did not get the max but my score wasn’t too bad.



I know I got my ride photo from this one but I can’t seem to find it in Photobucket right now. Either I didn’t upload it or it’s in the wrong folder. It wasn’t anything special so you aren’t missing anything.

Up Next: Wishes From a New Perspective

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

I haven't yet experienced the selfie sticks or go-pro's in force yet, but I'm thinking I'm not going to like it. I'm fed up with tablets and I imagine I'll feel the same about these.

I think you made a good choice on the cake cup. I did not like the strawberry at all and I really hope they have the birthday cake when I'm there. I think I'll like that one. Funny though, I thought they were tiny!
