Very cool fireworks shots. Love the dwarves pic.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Love this update. Fireworks and dwarves. What a perfect pairing.

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

One of these days I will pull myself away from Main Street and watch the fireworks from an alternate location. Some day...
Not bad entertainment to have while waiting in a line, that's for sure.

Haha, Doc seems to be running away in your photo. Why's he so far away from the others, lol. Comical.

 

[PrincessAlways]

Love the MVMCP pictures!!!!!

 

[scottny]

Awesome that you got to see Mary, Bert and the penguins together.

Great bonus to see wishes while in line and then 15 minutes shorter, too, Nice pic with the Dwarves.

That is what I thought.
Thanks.

Great pics with Mary Poppins and the Dwarves

I watched Wishes at MVMCP with my girls by Gaston's last year with some popcorn. Not only was it not crowded, it was a whole different experience Thanks for the firework pictures Scott!!

Thanks.
I will have to try it over there one time.
Thanks.

it was really fun seeing it form there. I have seen them from the bridge where you can watch the boats come down on Splash Mountain. Too many trees there.
They were all misbehaving and being reprimanded by the handler. The best character interaction comes later on that night.

Love the MVMCP pictures!!!!!

Thanks

.

I agree! That is really cool that you got your picture right in front of the carousel.

I also love the shot of you with the 7 dwarfs.

Sometimes its fun to watch the fireworks from behind the castle.

Hi, Scott. I'm back from Florida and trying to catch up

I cannot believe ANYONE would go on Doctor Dooms Fear Fall. No thank you!

Cool that Spiderman was on a motorbike.

I'm so glad you got to see your Minion party. Too bad they don't come out for pictures afterwards.

It was so fun meeting you. I forgot that Mary the girls and I got a picture with you (I hope you don't mind I copied it to my computer). It was a great meet...just wish we'd had more time together.

I know I caught you out of the corner of my eye when we went over to Dumbo. This was our only day at the MK that trip and I knew Mark would be upset if we didn't ride it.

Great pictures of you with the ducks!

I love the picture of you with Mary Poppins, Bert and the penguins. And the ones with the 7 men is terrific. My goal this time had been to see more characters...and we only saw Pooh and friends (the ones you didn't get to see). Maybe another trip.

You got some great shots of the fireworks while standing in line. Nice job.

Love the picture of fireworks and the seven dwarfs, worth every minute that you waited. Do you think they will have them as permanent characters once the Mine Train is complete?

We just got home from Florida a few weeks ago, and I was hoping for maybe a soft opening for The Minetrain, but workers were still inside planting flowers and painting.

I love Wishes, you have some great shots of the fireworks.

 

[franandaj]

What a great way to pass the time waiting for the dwarves to watch Wishes! You got sone good shots in there whole you waited! I love the pictures with the dwarves! I wish they were out more than just at the Christmas party! Maybe when the ride goes online. We can hope!

Thanks. The interaction this night was so good. 1 more meet coming up soon.
it is. I saw once before but didn't stay to watch it all. very different and very cool.

Hi, Scott. I'm back from Florida and trying to catch up
Welcome back. Loved your pics on FB.

I cannot believe ANYONE would go on Doctor Dooms Fear Fall. No thank you!
I have to agree. it looks scary being out in the open.
Check out the description of this new one at Six Flags here in Jersey. I would have an accident. LOl.

me too. I do wish they had them out to have a pic with but no luck there.

It was so fun meeting you. I forgot that Mary the girls and I got a picture with you (I hope you don't mind I copied it to my computer). It was a great meet...just wish we'd had more time together.
it was very fun meeting all of you. I think I only said hello to mark but I am sure our paths will cross again.
Copy away. it was a short time but it is great to put just meet and say hi to someone that you speak to so often on the computer.

I know I caught you out of the corner of my eye when we went over to Dumbo. This was our only day at the MK that trip and I knew Mark would be upset if we didn't ride it.
I did. I actually heard you first and then I saw you. I would be upset too.

Great pictures of you with the ducks!
Thanks.

Thanks. My only goal were characters and I saw them and 1 more. I guess another time for me too.

You got some great shots of the fireworks while standing in line. Nice job.

Thanks.

I love Wishes, you have some great shots of the fireworks.

Thanks. it was worth it.
That would be great if they did do that. They really should. I never thought about that.
Too bad it didn't open for you. Being I don;t go back till 2015 I know it will be open for me.
Thanks.

What a great way to pass the time waiting for the dwarves to watch Wishes! You got sone good shots in there whole you waited! I love the pictures with the dwarves! I wish they were out more than just at the Christmas party! Maybe when the ride goes online. We can hope!

it was a great time. And fun people to watch and chat with.
it would be nice if they become permanent once the ride opens.

What a fun day. Vinnie sure did get wet...he would win that wet t-shirt contest for sure!
What a lovely night to meet all those famous Dis People too! I have to admit I am a little jealous!

 

[tazdev3225]

You saw so much more than I did that night. Missed everything. Between Jim's toe and trying to get the ECV through the crowds it was hard to maneuver much. At least I saw more than Tomorrowland. Last Halloween Party I ended up there the whole night. Crowds kept pushing me in that direction.

OK I am caught up again. I have been ignoring TR's. You know why.

 

[DisneyJo]

It looks like you had a lovely spot to watch the fireworks from - very unusual

I love the photo of your meet and with the dwarves too

it was so fun meeting everyone.

You should have stuck with me.
That is true. I think last time we were stuck somewhere too.
Glad you are back.

Thanks.

After seeing the fireworks and the dwarfs I decided to walk over and see Peter Pan & Wendy. I got over to where they are but they were on a break so
I looked over at the Rapunzel bathrooms.




It’s a Small World was closed but it does open later in the trip. Do we get to ride it?


Then I went back to stand in line for PP and Wendy. While In line Lorrie text me they were in a spot for the parade so I said I would be right there. I snaked my way out of the PP line and walked to where they were.

I soon found them and we were across from here.


Not too crowded so it was a good spot(this changes).
Then I went to get water for Jim & I. I cannot remember if Lorrie wanted anything. Here is my pic form the line.


Back I went and when I returned out area was taken over by loud, rude people. I squeezed in and found my spot because I was recording this. (Little note about the video. This was a dark area so not the best copy of the parade but still fun).

CLICK HERE FOR PARADE VIDEO

It was fun seeing the parade again and after it we decided it was time to see some bears. They thought they needed to help clean up I guess or maybe wanted the popcorn on the ground.


Now I present the photopass+ pics. I thought this was the best interaction of the trip. They were playful and just so happy. Really felt magical to me (and I have not felt that lately at Disney).


Hug time.


Jealousy over the hug. LOl.






The final group photo.


They do not rush anyone and the pp+ photographer was great at catching all the interaction.

After this it was Lorrie and Jim’s turn. Here is the area while they were getting ready for their shoot.


Here is Lorrie and Jim and the bears.


Then our time with the bears was over. If you see them out definitely go and see them. I think I will stop here for now.

Up next,

Where do we go next?


Life update. I thought I would post my latest photo.

Week 18

 

[KatMark]

For a dark spot, the video turned out pretty darn good.

I am loving the photopass pictures with the bears. Those are absolutely awesome! I didn't even know they did photos.

And you continue to do great on your weight loss, Scott. Keep it up.

Thanks. I found it to be dark but some I could see. maybe it was my eyes.
They were the best. So happy we waited.
Thanks.
