I'M JUST SHOWBOATIN' AROUND THE WORLD! & getting pooped on. Jan 13 TR! NEW TR POSTED!

[jecskc]

I think it was very rude of the men to continue smoking cigars in the hot tub when got it. My husband smokes cigars ..... a lot ..... but he would never be so rude.

 

[onelilspark]

My spots for Buzz Lightyear to get a super high score: the Volcano (which I think a lot know about, and is surprisingly hard to get...) and then in the next room, where Zurg is in his crazy Robot arm thing, shoot at the very bottom. If you hit it, you'll hear a "do do do" and you get 100k points. Keep hitting that.

Oh, and spin around and hit the back of things. They're worth a lot too.

I've maxed out a few times, these are usually pretty good for a high score!

 

[DanniDeer]

Giiiiiiirrrrrlllll, you are getting too good with that camera of yours! I can't wait to see the rest of them!

and the lanterns in the Liberty Tree represent the 13 colonies!

September, please!

 

[Nermel9]

YAY for DVC!!! And yay for the Wilderness Lodge! It's funny that you're staying at my 2 favorite resorts in the world!

I love Space Mountain too, but I can't handle it more than a couple of times per trip, it's weird, I love it because it's scary, but I also hate it because I feel like I'm going to die!!!

OMG Tomorrowland at night is my favorite thing ever! I'm seriously so in love with Tomorrowland, all lit up, and that music loop is the BEST! However, I found that stage to be SO annoying...maybe it was quiet when you were there, but I think they cranked it up when I was there, because it's all I heard, and I just wanted to listen to the sounds of Tomorrowland!

Wow, I love your pictures of the castle, beautiful!

BTMRR is so much fun, especially at night! I really need to go to Disneyland, it's crazy to me that there are some of the same rides there, but they are so different!

Ewww, that's so rude, smoking a cigar in the hot tub, I mean, be more inconsiderate. At least your school bread saved the day! Your picture makes it look so yummy, I'll have to try it again!

 

[okw19]

Tommorowland at night is just so awesome. I completely agree with you about the stage there! One of the only ones that doesn't bother me.

You have no idea how badly I wish we had gone on Space that night in MK. I LOVE the front, so terrifying and hilarious all at the same time. Matt's face in that ride photo is just epic.

I love the doggie tags! Too cute.

PEOPLEMOVER AT NIGHT IS MY FAVORITE.

Glad you guys got to ride BTMRR! It was weird to ride it in August after so long.

Holy poop those Riverboat firework pictures!

Main Street is perfect at night. I think all of MK is perfect at night, actually.

Standing room only, wompwomp

I would have been so mad if I had been there to witness the cigar incident. What is wrong with people?! Glad you had school bread and hot cocoa to make it better. I like to add a teensie bit of milk to my Disney hot chocolate, makes it nice and creamy since they use water to make it.

That Donald pin is way cuter than the ornament!

You know I love that shirt. Very nice

I know who falls ill!

I am so incredibly happy at your gif choices. Debbie Downer is PERFECT for wompwomp moments.

 

[MasonsDisneyMom]

The first time DH and I went on Space Mountain together he sat behind me and the entire time I kept hearing what I thought was a teen girl screaming until we got off and I saw that DH had nobody behind him and he was the one I was hearing!

That is so rude of the people in the hot tub to be smoking. Our DS was born 15 weeks early (1lb, 3oz) and had very sick lungs for a long time (5 months in the NICU then home on oxygen). I hate when people don't smoke in the designated smoking areas

 

[beachphotog]

Lol, all I can hear is the Debbie Downer slide trombone in the background! Wompwompwomp! That is my favorite SNL episode, especially the one where they are in a theme park restaurant that is supposed to be Disney!,

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

The Magic Kingdom really is super magical in the evenings! I love how pretty the Beast's castle looks all lit up!!

Ugh, that stinks (get it?) over the cigar smokers! There are enough smoking areas that smoking in the hot tub should be unnecessary!

AHHHHHH I love your Ron Swanson/Debbie Downer (but especially Ron) GIF's! Excellent idea!!!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Great updates!

First of all, your castle pictures are all so pretty. That's awesome about BTMRR having no wait. I think that is one of the rides I'm most excited about riding because last April when I was there was during the refurb. Boo! Can't wait to finally get back on that!

I love those ear hat pins! I have one of the ornaments (Tiana) as well. They're so cute! Oh yeah, and the Epcot shirt is awesome too!

 

[Fantasyland Mom]

OMG, LOVE your gifs!!!!! You're perfection, lady!

Dusk is my favorite time at Magic Kingdom, even better than night time.
Your riverboat photos are magnificent! I know another photographer who would have loads of fun taking photos with you!

I may have lost it at the guys in the hot tub. I know you were trying to not rock the boat, so to speak, but that would drive me too far. Regular smoke is bad enough, but thick cigar smoke is the worst. I'd be yelling, "DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A DESIGNATED SMOKING AREA!?!?!?!?! SECURITY!!!!!!" People love me and my big mouth, especially shy Brandon...hehe...okay, maybe not.

Hey, I got a follower from YOUR TR! We're sharing friends, now!

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

OK... I'm finally all caught up. Phew, are my eyes tired. I now see why this report is just so darn popular!! Wonderful. I loved Matt's childhood photo too.

I def have to agree that the first look at the castle is just pure joy each and every time! It NEVER gets old. I think I could park a bench right in the middle of main street and just sit there for hours.

I love how the park transforms itself from day to night. There almost 2 completely different "beasts". You captured both beautifully!!

Looking forward to the next update!!!!

 

[katt789]

We'll definitely have to keep an eye out for each other! Do you know your park days yet?!

The parks are so pretty at night, I only wish I'd had the chance to see AK at night! It looks amazing in pictures!

I'm with ya on Space mtn, I only first went on it a year ago, and that was on the right side! Eeek! The left is definitely more tame!

Castle! SO PRETTY! I want to be there now....

 

[khertz]

Those photos of the fireworks over the Liberty Belle are so beautiful!!!

I feel you on the cigar smell...my dad loves smoking cigars and I can't STAND the smell of them! When he came on our Disney trip with us last year, he was confined to the balcony with the door closed if he wanted to smoke them. Blech! As Stephanie Tanner would say, HOW RUDE!

 

[SoccerDogWithEars]

Hopping over from FantasylandMom's report!!

I have to say, I literally laughed out LOUD at the story of your ringtone and the car. And now I'm wondering if I can set something up so that my car always says that when you get ready to drive.

I am so glad I've never experienced the whispers in the stretch room. I HATE HM. With a passion. And so generally I'm running from the room in order to get the stupid ride over with as quickly as possible. I don't know why, but HM and ToT are the two rides I refuse to go on at WDW. Something about them just gives me chills.

I am extremely jealous of your BOG experience. We went in October, and they opened the New Fantasyland TWO. DAYS. after we got back. TWO FREAKING DAYS. Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie, so I'm dying to try it out. And now I want the grey stuff! I can celebrate my birthday a month beforehand right?

I absolutely love the pics with the fireworks and Liberty Belle! Such a unique shot. Our last trip, we went to MK after dinner at Kona, and pulled up in the monorail station as Wishes was going off. But it meant that I got some really awesome pictures of the fireworks with the train station. Like this one:

I'm also with FantasylandMom on the cigar people...I would not have stood by it. I would have told the front desk...I'm such a tattletale sometimes! But really, it keeps me from being part of an awkward situation (because like you, I avoid them and any type of conflict), but it does solve the problem.
Looking forward to your next update!

 

[cheekypoppins]

OMG AGHHHHH thats super exciting ,both news stories are .I'm seriously loving this report and that means i get to look forward to sooo many more YAYYYY.

 

[MikkiMom]

Can't wait to read the report. I've been lurking here for awhile. Hate that word "lurking" like I'm doing something creepy. Actually I just can't get online as much as I want and usually just do a quick skim through of messages on my lunch break. Anyway...

Looking forward to reading the rest of the report. And have to say "I WANT THOSE SHOES". I'll even change my name to "Amy". LOL

MikkiMom

 

[LisaAnn06]

I about fell out of my chair laughing at the thought of you passed out in the Space Mountain car by the time the train got back to the station if you rode the other side. Let's hope you don't have to test it out!

 

[gardengirl2790]

I'm loving your trip report!

I have a selfish question for you. My teenager thinks I should ride Space Mountain at DL during our trip over the summer. I am a proud badge-wearing coward when it comes to coasters. I do love BTMRR, but that's the only one. Should I avoid Space Mountain?

 

[DLmama]

Love the pictures of the castle and the fireworks! WDW looks so beautiful! I'd love to check out BOG based on your review alone!

OMG, I love the ear ornament pins! DH loves Chip & Dale, so we bought that ornament at DL this past Christmas. I'll have to keep my eyes open for that pin for trade.
Eewww, no one should smoke anything in the pool area, but definitely not when there are other people around. I wouldn't have been able to stand it either.

Anxiously waiting for the next installment!

 

[DharmaLou]

Totally ridiculous about the cigar smoke. I bet that wouldn't happen at DLR because of all the smoking laws - I think they're different in FL. But still, who does that?!

I love all your castle photos & the Cheshire Cat pin is adorable!
