TBird- Gran Fiesta is the ride in Mexico in Epcot.
It's got Donald and the Three Caballeros in there. It's so fun!


(PS and Totes off topic.....
OMG- are we in for an awful football season or what??????????)

GO GATORS!! This is going to be a scary season... but I just have to calmly sit back and realize this is not last years team.. we lost our beloved Tebow and a ton of other guys.. as long as Bama GOES DOWN.. I will be happy!

Since the kids (DS11 particularly) think they are too big to the the Epcot masks now, plus they have done them before, I decided to make them their very own Epcot Passports!

With the help of some very creative people here on the DIS, this is what I came up with ~

that is awesome!!! to much work for me though.. I may have to buy the passport book that they sell at Epcot!

OK, I know I said I would no longer do any football talking here .... but .....

A.) the teacher is out of the room

and

B.) I just had to give a for that Bama comment!

(even though I'm afraid that may not happen)

can any of you who bought ebay trading pins lately tell me what buyer you bought from? Or is that a no-no on here? If so, maybe pm me....I was looking last night and saw 3 that looked like something I might bid on, but then I got nervous and decided to wait and ask you guys first!

 

[JoBird]

well since the Teach IS out of the room....

Just a little "Go Gators!" Back at ya, Disney Bound!


And, um.....
guess you heard about Rainey.

So disappointed and upset.

I just bought a lot of 20 for about $13!! We have NO pins.. so this should get the boys excited about it.. I'll let them each buy a few at Disney and then of course trade.. I'm excited, I think I may want some for myself!!

NO I didn't hear about this.. just read up on it though.. are you flipping kidding me!!

Hello everyone! Thanks for hanging in there with me this very hectic week. I do plan to have an update up tonight! (I know, I think I said that a few days ago )

Yay you're here!

I found this pin set today and thought about you- don't know if the boys like UP! or not, but MC and Drew loved these when I showed them-

http://www.disneystore.com/pin-sets-disney-up-pin-set-3-pc/p/1260541/14639/

If we were going soon, I'd buy them.

Those are so cute!! I'll have to show them to the boys!

I think you should get a set even if you aren't going anytime soon!

What??? Do they know you have a PTR going and loyal followers who expect timely updates? I'm going to be honest, I'm not happy about this little bombshell.

Oh well, you know the saying, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."

I guess we'll have to be patient.

But yay for more Disney money!

That's exactly what I was thinking Monday morning at 6:00AM!!

Has my absence made your heart grow fonder???

Your pins look great. I guess you'll have a crazy week, I probably will too (and now as my DS12 is feeling better, my DS6 is getting sick, he was home today)

Oh no! I hope both the boys are feeling better now.

Thank you for the advice on the pins. I won a lot of 20 on ebay today for $13.75 with free shipping. I am so excited to get them, my son is going to be so happy!!

That's awesome!! That's an even better deal than I got!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Thanks! It kind of was a pain in the behind. About half way through I was thinking that maybe I should have just bought the darn things!

You ladies are cracking me up with all this football talk! But I guess you needed something to do since I was out of the room for awhile. Just remember -- I'm always watching!

Shawna -- I will look up who I bought my pins from on ebay and send you a PM.

Thanks!! I didn't know they sold the passport book at Epcot!!! Where is it? I think it'll be cheaper than all the ink I would have to use!!!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Okay, so who wants to talk about Magic Kingdom?

While MK probably falls about third on my list in order of my favorite parks, I still love it very much. It's just so magical and amazing. We will likely spend 2 of our days at MK. One of those 2 days we will get there at rope drop and stay until sometime in the afternoon. The other day we will get to MK around 1-2:00 and stay until Wishes is over.

Peter Pan
It's a Small World
Mickey's Philharmagic

Okay, I think that's it! Did I miss anything?



We plan to do everything on those first 2 lists, except for Winnie the Pooh, which will be closed (and not sure about the 2 parades, we'll see. . . ) plus the Carousel of Progress, the Hall of Presidents and Tom Sawyer Island.



What do you think???

 

[sjs314]

Sounds like you have two very full days planned for MK. I can not believe you have never done the Hall of Presidents or the Riverboat, the Riverboat has always been one of my favorites but last time I rode it was in '96 or '97 , I plan on doing it this time for sure and I also am looking forward to seeing the new Presidents that have been added since my last visit there in the '90's. It just occured to me how long it has been since I really spent a full day in MK , in 2005 when I went to WDW with a friend I only was there for a couple of hours shopping and of course there is last year where I never did get to MK

POTC and Haunted Mansion are also big favorites of mine the tea cups will be down the night we go to MVMCP but since I have a second day scheduled at MK for Friday of our week they will be running then or are supposed to be

Love your pics I hope my new camera takes pics that good this year

Yeah, they sell some sort of passport book at Epcot. I don't think I've ever actually seen it. So I'm not sure where they sell it.

I know!! Hall of Presidents is one of those things that I knew the boys wouldn't be interested in when they were real little. And the last couple of trips when I thought they might be more interested we've just never timed it right. Every time we are near there it has a 20 minute wait or so. And they aren't interested enough to wait that long! Maybe next time! Hopefully!

And the Riverboat - No one has ever even asked to ride it. Probably because we have those types of boat cruises in Pittsburgh. But I'd like to try it at WDW just to say I did!

I still can't believe you didn't make it to MK last time!! I hope you get to enjoy a long day there this time!

I think the Tea Cups will still be down the first day we go to MK, but should be up by the second day we go. I actually don't ride them! DH and the boys do. I don't do spiny anymore.

 

[JoBird]

What do I think??????????????


I think I wanna goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Look at the Boys on that carousel--- smiling and having fun.

Sniff sniff.

Maybe it's hormones. Maybe it's just this time of year.
(Um, maybe it's that pin they sent me.)






I think your two days sound wonderfully wonderful!

I've never done the Riverboat either in all the times we've gone! Shocking.
I think the boys would Love to go to Tom Sawyers Island.
It's fun going into the caves and over the rope bridges.

I also think you should squeeze in Astro Orbiter- instead of dumbo- essentially the same, but better b/c it's higher and it makes me wanna hurl b/c I think I'm gonna die every time I ride it.

Good update!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Monny2AE]

I have to agree with Jo...seeing your pics breaks my heart that we're not going anytime soon!

I like your MK plans except I think your boys need to experience Tom Sawyer Island! My kids LOVED it last year. They ran across that barrel bridge more times than I could count! And the fort! your boys would be in heaven!

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

Love the pics!! Only thing about the Riverboat--It was in oct last time I rode it and it was sooooo hot on there!!! In fact, I got such a headache I was sick for the rest of the day. I know some of the things that trigger my headaches triggers yours too!! So...if it's a really hot day and the boat seems crowded don't do it!!! Ha!!! it's a nice ride, but man was I sick!!!

 

[jenjolt]

OOOH another fun Shelley PTR!! Sorry I'm late to party, but I was very excited to see your link over on Meghan's PTR so I had to come by!!!

I too am staying at Boardwalk on my January trip (still loving that time of year!!!!)

Well I'm going back to catch up on all your details!!

 

[Pluto_fan]

Sounds wonderful! Wow, your photos are great.
I also think you'll all enjoy Tom Sawyer Island. It's a nice change of pace.

Thanks!! I didn't know they sold the passport book at Epcot!!! Where is it? I think it'll be cheaper than all the ink I would have to use!!!

I have seen the Epcot passports sold at many little stands throughout the park. There is a little souvenier cart right outside the turnstiles and I know that they sell them there. Throughout WS, I'm pretty sure they're located by all of the registers. I'll check for you!
