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

[scottny]

Once we were done with photo taking there (okay once I was done) we kept walking. Here is what the crowds were like.


A few Yeti items you can purchase.


We kept walking and I looked back.


Here is a clue to where we are going.


You better look both ways.


It looks huge in this pic. LOl.


I have those dusty old bones. LOL.


Christmas decoration.


We have reached our destination. Time to go back in time.


Darn sun ruined the epic.


He is looking at the spot on his tail. LOl.




When we got there the ride was down. They did not know when it would be up again and they would not give us another FP until they knew for sure. So we waited.

So we waited and it was up and running again soon enough. I did suggest leaving but Vinny said no.


I am going to get you.


Some of the décor.




Here is a short video in the room where the earth is.

Hello Claire.


He was on a show I watched but cannot remember which one.


We are getting closer.


It was a great ride as usual although I am not sure if Renee would agree as she is hiding her head. LOL.


Then we exited and thought about what to do next.


I thought this was cute.


With that I think I will stop here. Time travel can make you tired.

Up next,

We eat…

Isn't he the guy from CSI? Looks like it.

I'm really enjoying your beautiful pictures.

 

[KatMark]

We missed the gorillas last time; I'll have to make a mental note to remember that when we go on the girls' trip next month.

Great pictures by EE!

I love Dinosaur; I have to ride it myself because Mark won't do it after his surgery.

Can't wait to hear where lunch is.

Oh and I agree with previous posted...I think that guy was on CSI.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Great pictures of the Dinosaur. Seems like you really made your way round AK.

 

[Trentmom]

WOW, that yellow dinosaur statue is huge

Love the expression on your face in the dinosaur pic

 

[dizneeat]

What a great day at the AK! I love all the detailed photos you take - puts me right there in the park.

I had to when I read that Dinosaur was down. Every time we want to go on it, it is down. We have not been on it in a long time.

Isn't he the guy from CSI? Looks like it.

That is what I was thinking.

Claire is not a fan of Dinosaur. I think she has only rode it once and refuses to go back so far. I need to try and get her back on it now that she is older.

Love the expression on your face in the dinosaur pic

ABSOLUTELY

Scott More great pics at AK

They are fun to watch. We do it every other trip usually.
Thank you.
I do not think Renee will do it again.
he was. I think a sitcom also though.

Thank you. I try to get around. That sounded wrong.

I guess I never really looked at it before but I was surprised in the pic how big it looks.

it was a great day and it is not over yet. That is what I hope for, that you feel like you are with us on the trip.
Thankfully it did not stay down for long.

It is a fun ride. Tell her they changed it.

ABSOLUTELY

Scott More great pics at AK

Thank you

I like the walk with the Gorillas, but we always seem to go on the one with the Tigers. I'm going to have to fix that this June!

Love your pictures and commentary from Dinosaur! I only know him from CSI, kind of freaked me out the last time I rode it because I hadn't been on Dinosaur since before I started watching CSI.

Funny that you are cursing the sun!

 

[MEK]

It was a great ride as usual although I am not sure if Renee would agree as she is hiding her head. LOL.

Great picture! That really gave me a chuckle this morning!

Your AK pictures are just lovely! It just looks like a fabulous day!

I love those cheesy Christmas decorations. They make me laugh.

Say hi to the gorillas for me.

Veronica's Closet. That is the show.

Great picture! That really gave me a chuckle this morning!

Thank you. it was a great day.
they made me laugh. Disney knows how to decorate.





I WILL BE CATCHING UP THIS WEEK ON TR'S. WE ARE SELLING OUR PLACE AND ARE OUT A LOT FOR SHOWINGS OR JUST OUT SHOPPING.

 

[scottny]

By this time were hungry and we were in AK so BBQ it was. We walked over.

Vinny and Renee went to get the food and I had the challenge of finding a table. I walked down to the water and the seats were all taken in the first part so I continued on and found one in the section. Here is our view during lunch. It doesn’t get any better.


The view when I turned around.


Scott:
Pork Sandwich - served with coleslaw $9.19

As always it was very good. I did not eat the bread and I do not think I finished the meal.

Vinny:
This is where it gets tricky. The receipt says Vinny got a chicken salad sandwich. First it does not look like that and second, it is not on the menu. I think he got a
Pork Sandwich - served with coleslaw $9.19
Onion Ring Basket $3.99


Renee:
Some kind of salad. It looks good.


I do not know how much it was as the receipt is now faded. LOL.

After lunch we decided to head over to.


Some of the scenery.


Then looking the other way.


Then we were entering.


It looks so peaceful and relaxing.


Then we came upon a favorite of ours.


Now we have to walk through the queue.


I love the carvings.







Renee posed for me.




Then the show was over. I love this show. All the effects crack me up especially everyone screaming that don’t know what is about to happen.

One last carving.


When we came out of the exit we saw. They were going on a break.




Then we came upon.




A look at the tree, okay a final look. We are heading out.


See. I wasn't lying. LOL


I do love the lighting around Disney.


I am going to stop here before we get to the bus as I have more pics but limit is running out.

Up next,

Tree and dinner.

 

[Trentmom]

Your view at lunch was gorgeous! You have such great AK pics

 

[PrincessInOz]

I love that lunch spot. Great views and it's nice and shady.

Lunch looked delicious. I think AK food is probably the most different of all the 4 parks now. The others are pretty generic.

 

[franandaj]

I WILL BE CATCHING UP THIS WEEK ON TR'S. WE ARE SELLING OUR PLACE AND ARE OUT A LOT FOR SHOWINGS OR JUST OUT SHOPPING.

This is great! We are finally getting to move into our new place after closing Escrow six months ago!

Good luck! I hope you get some great offers.


I really liked your spot for lunch, great views! We've always ordered the BBQ chicken and ribs, never had the pork sandwich, my mom got that same chicken salad when we ate there last.

I've never been on WDW's Bug's life. I can always do it here and figured it was the same, but the carvings are really nice.

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Oh my, yeah, I kinda like that view during lunch. Wow.

Ha Bugs, the most "entertaining" show in Disney. Yes, I'm evil, lol.

 

[pas130]

Lunch looks great. And congrats on selling your place!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Great job in finding a table with such lovely views! The food looks pretty darn tasty too. It's been a long time since we've eaten at Flame Tree. Just don't like eating hot bbq when it's hot outside. But, that's just me and I am not normal.

The picture on Dinosaur is cracking me up! Great job on that one.
