It Was the Best of Times & the Worst, But It Was the Best Trip Evah!

[Wicket's Mom]

Beth, I was a little tired, so I can come off as grumpy. Plus taking my DGD on a ride that she most certainly didn't want to be on was upsetting for me!

Beautiful PP pics. They really turned out wonderful and your shirt is probably the cutest Disney shirt I have ever seen. I love yellow! Love that shirt. I want one!

Most of the PP pictures turned out pretty good. I didn't do much editing other than resizing them!

I got that shirt at Walmart a couple of days before we left. I got 3 different ones for $5 each. The shirts were on clearance!

Whaaaaaaat? Are you serious? Walmarts in Delaware don't carry stuff like that. That is a great deal.

Maybe I will hit up a Walmart when I get to Disney in December since we will have a car.

 

[Wicket's Mom]

They had some really nice shirts, labeled Disney. So they are authentic licensed shirts. Walmart has a new selection now of shirts.

We were getting off to an early start for the MK, it was EMH. The girls are waiting to go wearing their Disney outfits. My little Princess & her sister DR. Jones!

At the bus stop we met a CM who was starting a Disney trivia contest. I won one of the questions, which was when did DL open? Of course I knew this, 1955! I won a pink pirate scarf with little skulls on it!

We arrived at MK & got in line to have our photos taken by PP. The couple in front of us went in front of the entrance to have their photo taken. We were all surprised as was his girl when he got down on his knee & proceeded to propose! She said yes & the crowd let out a cheer & applauded the happy couple. That was defineatly a first for me! Anyway here are ppictures of us.

My girls!
Anne & the girls on Main St.

Now to start the rides, first headed to Adventureland only to find it was closed! What the heck, I thought everything would be open to ride. So we headed to Fantasyland!
First up was Pooh, then Snow White, after that was Peter Pan & the carrousel. We hit every ride in Fantasyland one after another. The tea cups were next, th egirls wanted to ride them, so I had to take them. Anne & Bob can't ride anything that spins so I gave the girls the ride of their lives!

Next up was the Turnpike thing. After riding the cars I remember why we rode it once back in 1975! Won't ride it again, way too hard to handle those cars!

Bob was steering at the time!

I was in the car ahead of him with Kelly.

One of Bob's steering & trying to take picture st the same time!

After this we headed to the side of the castle round Fantasyland & came upon some special ladies!

They were a hoot, so funny & wanting to know if we knew of some handsome prices for them to meet!

This was so special as we were the only ones that were in the area, so we had time to joke with them! Girls had an up close & personal visit! Disney Magic!
We passed this statue that I thought was so nice!

WE came upon the Sword in the Anvil, Kelly of course had to try it.

She was tugging on the sword & Pixie Dust was sprinkled!

My little Kelly was to become the next King of Camelot!!!
Of course Emily had to try, but no luck! I guess that there is only room for one king in our family.

Next was the Carrousel, one of my favorites.

Emily didn't want to ride so she watched!

 

[Wicket's Mom]

After this ride we went to ride a classic! Not my favorite, but one that has to be ridden, especially when it's hot outside!

Anne eating her first Mickey Bar, also Emily had one & Kelly had a strawberry fruit bar. They were eaten with much gusto!

In the midst of this I got a call from my neighbor telling me the mail & paper was not stopped. They were leaving for vacation so I had to call son to have him drive by to pick up mail & paper. Sheesh, what a pain!

You would think that Bob would have better things to take pictures of!

Now it was off to Adventureland to another of my favorite places! YoHoHo!

Then we rode BTRR & SM, after that it was time to eat lunch. So we headed for Pecos Bill's. I wanted to go to Harbour House, but Anne didn't see anything that she liked, so Pecos Bill here we come.

I wasn't impressed with PB at all. Burger was dry & fries were just ok. Atmosphere was way too noisy. I did try the electronic order system which was trying at the start, but we figured it out. It was a great way to place our order. The lines were busy, but this was so fast as no one was using it.
After lunch we had an appointment to meet Ariel.

While waiting for Ariel I went to get my first Dole Whip Float! My that sure was a tasty & refreshing!

Some pictures of the Ariel meet & greet!

 

[Wicket's Mom]

After Ariel we headed to the Haunted Mansion. The girls weren't scared this time. They enjoyed the ride this time around, thank goodness!

Finally finished riding, got a FP for the Princess meet & greet. Emily was acting so non interested in the Princesses, but the look on her face was priceless. She couldn't hide the thrill she got from this!

 

[Wicket's Mom]

This meet & greet was so nice. The Princesses were so nice to all of the little girls. This is why Disney has such an excellent reputation!

Cinderella is Kelly's favorite Princess.

This is what Bob finds to photograph, I think that it was along Main St. Compare the size of these things!!

It was around 2:00 so time to leave MK and head for HS. We managed to get most of MK's rides ridden this day & last night. I missed a couple, but I could do them another time. This was just half of the day, so off we were to end the day at HS.

 

[Wicket's Mom]

Thanks to ME for helping figure out how to get the photos off of my iPhone. So here are my photos of our stop at Bubba Gump's in Gatlingurg. I had the Shrimp Heaven & it was!

This was my drink, Mama's Blue Hawaiian.

Bob dining on the upstairs patio.

Me on the same patio.

I will be back to finish the third day of our trip!

I LOVE the wicked stepsisters and stepmother. I have only experienced them at 1900 Park Fare and they are a hoot. My favorites of all characters. I was not aware they also were in Magic Kingdom.

I have spent much time in FL since my mother is from there and we would visit my grandmother and aunt a couple of times a year but I have never seen a lizard that large in FL. It is scary!

 

[MEK]

Holy Mega Update Doris!!!!! Wow - that was great. Great pictures. Your granddaughters just get cuter and cuter and I love their outfits for the day - so different, but so great. Great pics with the characters. And Yeah for pixie dust with the sword!!!! I love when that happens.

Yum - that Bubba Gumps shrimp looks delish (and the drink looks pretty good, too)

 

[Beth D]

The girls look so cute in their costumes! I'm glad the pictures just caught you at a moment, and i saw you were smiling more in the later ones!

 

[dizneeat]

Wow! So many updates to catch up on!

Great photos of your granddaughters, they are really cute young ladies!

And thanks for making me crave Bubba Gump's! Glad you liked it too!

 

[Wicket's Mom]

Kid at Heart, my mother was from Florida also. She graduated from Miami High School in 1944. I have her year book which is so interesting. I lived in Miami when I was a tot & my sister lives west of Gainseville. Mom lived there too until she passed away a year ago last July.

Glad that I was smiliing in some photos. In my next update was not so good of a time. I didn't smile much at dinner!

Bubba's was very good, but a little pricey!

Anne makes the dresses, coming up are the cutest outfits. They got quite a few compliments from the CMs on those dresses.

Kelley went into a store close by & was sprinkled with Pixie Dust. I tried to get Bob to go in for some, but he was adamant, no way!
