Just back with Pictures and reports!

[Simba's Mom]

Waits were virtually non-existant. At 11:00 one morning, Soarin had a 10 minute standby time and FP time was noon-1:00.
There was no advertising for the Little Ones MH, unless you looked thru the flyers on the check-in counter. Yes, I went, and no, the CM at the front gate didn't say anything about having children. There were so few people, no one else was enterring the park at that turnstyle. I loved watching the little ones interact with the characters. I saw Mickey, Chip and Dale, Pan and Wendy, Tigger, and Piglet. Here are some pictures I took-

I watched "Wishes" from Fantasyland, something I'd always wanted to do. It truly is a different perspective, not for the faint hearted. I felt like I was in the middle of a bombing zone, very loud. But just before Wishes is a great time to ride Dumbo-I got to ride it 3 times in a row without getting off there were so few people.
The love bugs!!! A CM I talked with said they were the worst she's seen in 3-4 years. One afternoon, waiting at the bus stop, no one could sit on the benches because they were just covered with love bugs. And there were little piles of love bugs all over the ground.

If anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to answer. And I have a question-where were the other Lime Green Mickey Heads? Except for mine, I didn't see any all week.

Thanks for the update and pictures. I hope this doesn't mean everyone is waiting until next week!

Okay, what are love bugs?

 

[patgoofy1]

love bugs are little black ,flying bugs. they are usually connected together. there were millions of them on the riverboat ride last week. they don't bite or anything but they will mess up some light colored clothes.

WOW, great report!! Love the pictures. How was the weather and how's the Castle coming?

Thanks for asking. It gives me a chance to post more pictures! The castle looked like it was pretty much back to the "original" and I didn't see any signs of a crane or construction around it.

It only rained once-one evening while I was in Spoodles (so sometime between 5:30 and 7:30). And it kept raining pretty hard, stopping sometime overnight, so it was cloudy in the morning.

Showed DW pic of the love bugs -she said "Yuck". Can someone tell me when the love bugs go away?

Great pictures, Dorothy, welcome home. I really like those kid/character pictures. Those look like the way it should always be, those are great!!!

Thanks for the report and pics! I have to ask my DS about love bugs. She lives in Florida (and can you believe it let her APs lapse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). I think it was funny that you took a picture of the lovebugs but I bet people are interested in them, especially here on the WDW Addiction Boards .. I mean DIS Boards!

WOW! GREAT PICTURES! It certainly doesn't look crowded there at all....

 

[rapriebe]

What is the Little Ones MH? Is it everyday and how do you get to go to it? Extra ticket, reservations, lots of little ones?????

 

[nluvwithmickey]

Sounds like you had a great time despite the bugs. Let's hope that they are gone by the time we get there.

Thanks for posting pictures and giving us an idea of the crowd situation. Let's hope it stays that way!
