Great report going.

You have so much of your Dad's appearance. May not seem like it now, but when you're older, it'll seem very cool.

Thanks.

I don't get that often but have been told that. I know I have our family hairline already.

So I completely forgot about my Be Our Guest photos with the Beast...





This is also probably a good place to show you my parents room at Coronado Springs. Since they booked later they didn't have much choice in resorts and had to go with Coronado Springs. They had never stayed there before. These are my moms photos from her phone so they aren't the great but good enough.

An electrical parade is in our way and you are standing behind a tree!

Okay, I know I have been pumping out the updates this week but they have been very picture heavy and I still have a long way to go. I want to at least get this night out of the way and then I will not update for a few days again. I want to thank all of you out there for following along and I have noticed a few new people the last couple updates. Anyways on with the show!

As I was saying before after Be Our Guest I took us the wrong way I should've so we got trapped by the Main Street Electrical Parade. I guess there are worse things to get trapped by so we made the best of it. I do like the soundtrack for it though.











Hey Goof!







The Big Cheese!

I am a big Pete's Dragon fan!





America!









I liked the castle in the background here.



Finally we made our way from Liberty Square over to the hub and then to my parents. This is where the next issue comes in. My mom and Dad were standing in the outer hub closest to the Tomorrowland Entrance and were standing behind a tree! They said that was the best spot in the area available. I knew for picture taking that would not be good so I left them and went off to find a new spot closer to the center of the hub. Let me tell you the new hub creates a lot more space and it doesn't feel so crowded!







And then Celebrate the Magic started but that and Wishes will come in the next update!

Up Next: It doesn't get much better than this

And this (besides the food) is another reason I want to go to BOG for dinner...I wish they had him there at lunchtime too!!

Well they wouldn't be able to have him in there during lunch because that is the food ordering area. He is a nice meet though and being in the west wing and having him enter every so often is cool.

Your MSEP pics are great. We only saw the end of it on our trip.

Thanks! I'm not huge on the parade anymore I liked spectromagic better. I think it's time for something new but it's still nice to watch.

Just got caught up on all your update. I think the kid's race is so cute. I've never seen anybody report on it, so I am glad I know a little more about it now, thanks. That's is veru awesome your parents were able to surprise you guys, how fun. Looks like a fund day at MK after the race. BTW, I was listening to the DISunplugged podcast and heard your post mention on the show, pretty awesome

I hadn't seen a lot about the kids races either so now I know!

Yes it was a nice surprise, especially since my sister is the one who spotted them.

Yes, the mention on the podcast was pretty cool!

Just getting caught back up again as I stopped getting notifications. Odd. Anyways, I've only been to BoG for breakfast, so it's nice to see how it's different for dinner. Nice pics with Beast!!!

That seems to happen a lot to people that they stop getting notifications. I have yet to do breakfast but I do like dinner better than lunch even though both are good.

Excellent updates!!! I still love to ride Pooh when we go and, of course, Peter Pan is a favorite. We finally experienced the new queue on our last trip and it really is neat.

We've had dinner twice at BOG ourselves and it is a favorite of mine. Our meals have been good and we love the atmosphere. We've eaten in the West Wing and the Rose Room. I actually think I prefer the Rose Room. It's a bit boring, I suppose, but the West Wing is just really dark. My old eyes have a hard time seeing in there, but your youthful eyes probably do just fine. Hoping the next time we eat, we can get seated in the ballroom just so I can say we've eaten in each of the rooms.

Love your shots of the parade and that beautiful castle!

I'll check out that queue at some point.

I've only ever eaten in the west wing and I really like it. I wouldn't mind eating in the other rooms though.

Thanks! I'll have even more castle shots coming up with wishes!

I know its kinda cheesy and dated, but I really love MSEP. Which is why I love looking at pictures of it so much. So your pictures made me happy!

It was amazing at the time but now seeing what they can do with paint the night in Disneyland I think it's time for a new parade. I still enjoy watching it though.

Whew! All caught up! I've been slowly getting around to all the TRs and PTRs I was behind on. I'm really enjoying your TR. I would love to run one of the Disney races but it's impossible with my bum ankle. So I like to live through other's races!

You are one busy person writing both of your TRs and reading the other ones that you do!

I know you have the ankle problems but the 5K isn't timed so maybe you could look into that in the future. They really are a lot of fun.

Back in town and caught your latest update. I am not a big fan of MSEP since I really liked Spectromagic. And after seeing Paint The Night out at DLR, this parade is SO in desparate need of an update. They could totally clone PTN and bring it to WDW and few would complain. Except for a few issues - PTN has the usual overused Disney stuff - Little Mermaid, Toy Story, Cars, Frozen, Beauty and The Beast and the soundtrack is so very of the now it will probably feel very dated in 10 years - it is so much more impressive than MSEP or Spectro. Time to change it up Disney.
