Mickey, Minions & more. 2 week holiday. Updated 9/14 - FINAL THOUGHTS

[PrincessInOz]

Laundry at Disney? Do you do it with laundry drinks? I think their laundry facilities are always close to a bar somewhere. LOL.

Last day. At least check-out seems painless and how nice to get a ride back to the main building.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fairy shots. I've never seen those wings before.
Great character pictures too.

Catching up...I was way behind again.

I would be so annoyed about the BOG thing too. My Mom flips out when she sees someone who comes after us get seated.
Dinner looks yummy though and it is one of my new favorites.

It's so sad it's the last day.

Now I might be crazy, but at one time weren't you planning on going on the Dream as part of your trip too?

 

[scottny]

Love the Stitch pic, and the Fairy pics

SSR looks so pretty! I miss it there (I did love OKW mind you-so many great resorts)

OKW is a great resort. I stayed there 14 years ago.

LOl. No luandry drinks as I was not allowed to drink on this trip. it was next to the pool bar but at the hour it was closed.
Yeah the ride was great.
I haven't either and was hysterical when I saw them.
Thanks.

I know the feeling all too well.
It was annoying. I don't blame her. it was good. The soup was delicious.
It is sad but was ready to go home. 14 days is a long time.
Yes we were. Vinny does not want to go on a cruise so that was scratched and so the longer trip came about.

After seeing some of the main stars we also saw other main stars. I noticed Chip n Dale were just coming out.



I ran over. I went in the exit( I was the only one there) but was told to go around. They were still waiting for me.





Vinny got one too.



Then we went in here for Vinny to get a coffee and I got a green tea. Total = $4.56. Renee got something too but have no idea as I don’t have her receipts.





They decorated.



My fountain.





I took about 20 pics there. LOL. We then sat down and drank our drinks and ate.









Then we walked over to the Land.





The display there but we will come back to this later.



Then we went here. I guess we got fp’s because we were only here for 3 minutes according to the time stamps on the pics.



Then we went over to here.



I think I will stop here so I can post my blurry pics. LOL

Up next,

Figment

 

[PrincessInOz]

I would have ran for Chip and Dale too. Nice pictures.

I like my coffee so it's nice that Starbucks has opened in the Disney parks. But I'm not sure how I feel about having a chain inside Disney.

Looking foward to Figment.

 

[KatMark]

Great updates again, Scott.

Nice that you got a ride on the cart.

Beautiful decorations inside Saratoga.

It does look croweded at Epcot.

Glad you got to see Mickey, Goofy and Minnie with a minimal wait...always a good thing (it's been five minutes the last couple of times I've been there which is great). Vinny does look a bit jealous.

Oh you got to see Chip and Dale. I love those guys...they are so much fun.

I got the fairy wings a couple of years ago...I like the idea...I think they are cute.

Ahhh...one of my favorite spots -- Starbucks.

 

[Trentmom]

Love the fairy pics

Wow, Epcot sure did look super crowded

That's great you go to meet all the main characters and Chip and Dale. Those two are so funny

 

[pas130]

You got lots of Meet and Greets at Epcot! Yay for Chip and Dale The fountain, the Land and Soarin I can't wait to see the display

Thanks.
I was against it at first but I do like it being there.

Great updates again, Scott.
Thank you.

Nice that you got a ride on the cart.
It helps with the bags.

Beautiful decorations inside Saratoga.
They did decorate very nicely.

It does look croweded at Epcot.
I don't remember it being too bad but The Land was.

Glad you got to see Mickey, Goofy and Minnie with a minimal wait...always a good thing (it's been five minutes the last couple of times I've been there which is great). Vinny does look a bit jealous.
I wonder if people miss it or figure they see them elsewhere so why bother.


Oh you got to see Chip and Dale. I love those guys...they are so much fun.
They were definitely fun.

I got the fairy wings a couple of years ago...I like the idea...I think they are cute.
Didn't know they were around so long, never seen them before.

Ahhh...one of my favorite spots -- Starbucks.

We have 1 on every corner here in NYC.

Love the fairy pics

Wow, Epcot sure did look super crowded

That's great you go to meet all the main characters and Chip and Dale. Those two are so funny

Thanks.
I don't really remember it being too bad. Maybe it was the area.
It was a fun photo shoot.

You got lots of Meet and Greets at Epcot! Yay for Chip and Dale The fountain, the Land and Soarin I can't wait to see the display

I was happy with whom we had seen.

 

[scottny]

As mentioned in the previous post we were going on a journey into our imaginations.



Shall we walk in.





Aww, I got a blurry pic of Robin Williams.





Here comes our ride.



And we are off.





Sound. Can you hear it? LOL.



Then we came to the eye exam.









Then we moved along to the stinky part.





Hi Figment.















And we were done. Then we came out here and played with the computers a bit.





Vinny was conducting I think. LOl.



Then our time with Figment was over. Time to stop again. I know we had pics of the figments we made an emailed but I cannot find them.

Up next,

That is the fastpass line. OH MY

 

[Trentmom]

Love figment. Just wish they would bring back dream finder

 

[KatMark]

Figment is still a favorite and I'm so happy that rumor was a rumor and they didn't get rid of it.

I love the pic of Vinny conducting...he seems really into it.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Love the pictures of Figment. You did great with them.

It's such a cute attraction, isn't it? I don't know why it works....but it does.

 

[ddstratton]

Caught up again! I'd have run to meet Chip and Dale, too! Love the pictures of Figment.

 

[scottny]

I am fine the way it is but if they do then okay. As long as t stays.

it seems like he really was.

It is a cute attraction.

When I saw them just coming out and no line I was like feet don't fail me now.
Thanks.

After our journey we then had to head back to the Land as we had a fp+. Of course the ride we had it for really does not need one but hey I needed to fill up 3 slots.



First here are closer pics of the display in The Land for the holiday.









Love the DCL display.



Spaceship Earth was cool.



The leaning tower of Pisa is cool.





Then that was done. Next we moved along. Then it was time for our favorite boat ride. Living With the Land. I love this ride. If I could work at Disney it would be front desk at a hotel or here in the land. It is my favorite area. Here is a video of the ride.

http://youtu.be/rLsSLVhO9jM

After that we went upstairs and when I looked down I saw the line for Soarin’ fastpass. It was insane.



Then it was time to leave the area and start heading towards our lunch adr. We saw this on the way.



We still had some time so we looked around The Seas area.









Let’s go for a ride.







Vinny and Renee rode together as I wanted to try for photos. I FAILED MISERABLY.



Here is the only one decent. LOl.



After this we went and saw the diver.



Then we were walking and a miracle happened, no one was in the shark.



First time I ever got a photo there. Then we walked through the store.



Then we had photos taken outside.





I think I will stop here.

Up next,

Lunch

Then we were walking and a miracle happened, no one was in the shark.

Love this!

I can honestly say I have never been in the mouth of that shark!

Wow to the Soarin FP line! Yikes!

The Christmas display in the land - what that chocolate? It looked really cool.

I love LWTL. It's a great ride!

 

[KatMark]

I wouldn't say I love the Land, but Mark does, and I do enjoy it...it's a good place to cool off, rest your feet and see a different plant that you've missed on previous trips.

WOW....I can't believe that line for the FP for Soarin'.

What a great pic of you and Vinnie with the shark. And I really like the pics of you two outside with the fish.

 

[ddstratton]

Living with the Land is one of our favorites, too. Love the picture of you guys in the shark's mouth.

 

[Trentmom]

I love the christmas display in the land. Never knew they did that. very cool

wow, that soarin fast pass line looked nuts

Cute shark pic
