Move over Dumbo our circus is taking over! Surprise trip adventure!!

[RunnerMommyof4]

Oh my I have a love hate relationship with Frozen but those Olaf photos are absolutely adorable! Btw seeing your kids cute tops makes me think I should be WDW watching for clothes

 

[Wood Nymph]

This one: Still there under the tab Classic DISboards!!

Oh, now I see it. Thanks.

I have this one framed:

This is genius. Why didn't I think of something clever like this.

 

[MissMaryQC]

You caught the beast! That is a highly coveted photo you have there.


So what you’re saying here is visit the West Wing but don’t eat there. If I can’t see my food, I can’t eat it. That’s why my mama doesn’t like Sci-Fi; too dark.


I’m sorry the Braised Pork wasn’t too good. I’ve read elsewhere that it’s fatty too.

How cool that y’all were right there to see the Beast! Not the same Beast, but it works!

Dessert looks yummy! And I LOVE Meg’s Cheshire Cat thingy on her MB!


Why IIII instead of IV?

What do you mean hear these guys? The Suits of armor TALK?!?


Sorry about your Monday, le crappy!


I like that the gargoyles/beasts are kinda sad looking, nice touch.


Cute MS PP with Olaf!
Stop it with the Mike signature on your face!! Was that them or you? Look; you’re in a Framed Picture!!

 

[ach222]

oh my gosh, the car drama/upset stomach situation all sounds super stressful! I hate when no one answers the phone when I really need them but isn't that always the way! Glad it worked out.

You got great BOG shots, I was horrible about getting good pics there and the few I snapped were awfully dark.

Great olaf magic shots. I tried to get G to do one, but we were on our way to dumbo and the idea of an Olaf shot did not entice him to slow down!

 

[Chicago Mo]

Great pictures by the Castle. And I am in LOVE with those Olaf photopass pictures...they are so adorable. I like the framed one, but I can't see your face in it.

Thanks!
The Olaf is cute isn't it? LOVE magic shots!!! I was going for the Monsters Inc theme here:

HA HA HA so i gave the spot light to mike.

Thanks! like you i am done with Frozen.. But yes they did a really cute job with the magic shots!!

Oh, now I see it. Thanks.

This is genius. Why didn't I think of something clever like this.

I'm here for you! HA HA

You caught the beast! That is a highly coveted photo you have there.

Which one? the one of him bowing??? Is it really???

So what you’re saying here is visit the West Wing but don’t eat there. If I can’t see my food, I can’t eat it. That’s why my mama doesn’t like Sci-Fi; too dark.

The west wing is darker then Sci fi.. I sat in the west wing in one of the empty chairs off to the side and waited for the lighting to strike - that's when the picture changes!
Yes i have to be able to see my food! HA HA HA

I’m sorry the Braised Pork wasn’t too good. I’ve read elsewhere that it’s fatty too.

The meat i did find was good.. but it was like a treasure hunt looking for it. Oh well maybe it wasn't just me and a bad piece of meat?!?! I have no idea.

How cool that y’all were right there to see the Beast! Not the same Beast, but it works!

It was awesome!!! I didn't know he walked through the restaurant! it was a nice surprise!!!

Dessert looks yummy! And I LOVE Meg’s Cheshire Cat thingy on her MB!

the dessert was fantastic. Oh thanks! They wanted something for the bands. for how much i read about the other tid bits constantly falling off i allowed sliders! which were perfect.

Why IIII instead of IV?

I might get this a little off.. BUT IIII was the original way of writing a 4. somehow somewhere someone changed it to IV ..another reason for the IIII it's not being confused with 6 which of course is VI.
I know there is more to this story Just like WHY is there zodiac signs, sun and moon signs in the hands of the clock?!?

What do you mean hear these guys? The Suits of armor TALK?!?

they sure do!!!

Sorry about your Monday, le crappy!

Thankfully Monday is OVER!

I like that the gargoyles/beasts are kinda sad looking, nice touch.

I adore those statues i cannot wait to get better pictures of them..

Cute MS PP with Olaf!

Thanks!

Stop it with the Mike signature on your face!! Was that them or you? Look; you’re in a Framed Picture!!

I did that! HA HA HA HA! used all the signature stamps you can use on MM.

oh my gosh, the car drama/upset stomach situation all sounds super stressful! I hate when no one answers the phone when I really need them but isn't that always the way! Glad it worked out.

thank you! it always works out in the end.. but was a real pain in the keester at the time!!! Just glad that day of OVER!

You got great BOG shots, I was horrible about getting good pics there and the few I snapped were awfully dark.

practice! get to know your camera and all of its wonderful settings. you can do a fine job with pictures too!!! Also i am willing to help!

Great olaf magic shots. I tried to get G to do one, but we were on our way to dumbo and the idea of an Olaf shot did not entice him to slow down!

Oh No! I get that.. MUST. DO. RIDES. ALL. THE. TIME. go go go!

My NEXT time is going to be a lot slower moving then this trip!!!



Going to get an update done.. But must restart my computer the internet is being weird.

 

[annegirl]

Oh my word. Your monday sounds so stressful. Glad it finally got worked out. I would have been a mess.
More great BOG pictures!
And the photopass ones. You really end up with some good ones.

 

[CaseFace5]

Love all the pictures of BOG. I also might just film the fit because it would be fun!

I haven't been here for so long.. we are literally buried in snow here in Mass! We had two more snow days this week and it's supposed to snow tomorrow night into Friday so we might have some more. I'm just happy it's all coming now and not in March when I'm supposed to be getting on a plane!

My understanding of BOG is the same that it will strictly be an ADR starting on February 25th. I haven't tried because I am at 29 days, but I think the FP+ site is disabled to prepare for the ADR change. I might trhy today just to see. This is just for lunch, but I wanted to do lunch and not dinner (I like the menu better) but I'm not sure if we will get it.

Okay off to update my report now. Can't wait to see the rest of your final day in MK!

I am sitting in my office right now freezing.

Let me try to do this now! not much else with pictures...

 

[Chicago Mo]

Move over Dumbo!!

so we were on our way to move Dumbo out and move my circus IN!








I wanted to hang out here for a while... My secret agenda was for twilight to move in.. I was not going to tell the rest of the crew this...



this is why!







Nope not the right color yet......





I know your asking HOW MANY PICTURES can one person take of dumbo?!?
my answer is simple... As many as my eye can see!

finally boarding
Matt went on alone.. Ya know he's cool like that...


Tom and Zack:


Peanut just taking it all in.





Dumbo was our first ride as a family in 2010. it's the only real clear memory i have of going in 1978.. Dumbo does have my heart...

I have NO idea how this happened! Yet thought it was neat when i downloaded all the pictures.












It didn't work according to plan.. Twilight wasn't coming quick enough and we were done flying with the cutest elephant in history!
so we moved on.

 

[Chicago Mo]

I need to stall...


Since our ride wasn't lasting i needed to stall.. So we went on over to the goofy roller coaster thing.









just waiting in line...


No BLOOD!




This was kinda odd...




still waiting..



Yeah there was a longer line for this than i had anticipated...
It was ok because afterwards i was able to walk back over for this:


I am still figuring out the best angle.


There are some MAGNIFICENT pictures around the dis and internet.. I wanted my own!



Which wasn't happening.






So i tried to get the most fun shots i could get.





Descending Dumbo


Epic fail






This right here was when i knew i needed a new camera. my baby isn't doing what i need her to do anymore. So slow. I believe i have outgrown her.. My friends have been telling me for a while i was past this camera body, i was ready for something a lot more powerful but i just have a special attachment! This is my FIRST digital SLR. I was all about film!
So It's tax season... we shall see.

Of course we need to step into

 

[Chicago Mo]

Night shenanigans

Into the souvie store we go!










after the fun store. I don't remember what we walked out there with i am SURE we bought something. I know we took a break then needed to get back over to fantasyland for our FP! I made the plan we needed to ride the Mine train at night!!!
It was COOL!!! day and night the ride is amazing! Being our last FP we were not on our own! we can meander wherever we want!!! YAY US!





This is where Matt asked if we needed a FP for the Rapunzel Bathrooms...





as we were sitting and enjoying this spot which is REALLY COOL at night too. we were all bitten by some ANY thing?!?! someone can you tell me what it was?
talking about this being our last MK day


So sad!!!!

ENOUGH of the drab talk let go cause trouble.

YAY!









this perked us up!
On too!


Yep another ride i was really looking forward to! another i wanted to get the impossible pictures.






It's still impossible! NEXT TIME!!!
so lets go take pictures of something that WILL allow me to photograph!




I will continue tomorrow!!!

 

[Elevationist]

Poor Meg! She looks exactly how I feel when it's time to leave!

Your pictures are still infinitely better than my camera phone photos! And I just LOVE the last few of the castle at night! Gorgeous!!!

 

[goofymimi]

Wow, your Monday exhausted me...Lol Your kids are so cute, and your family seems to have such a good time together..I love that, there is nothing better than having fun as a family.

 

[CaseFace5]

Dumbo is just such a sight at night! I LOVE how they did that area all over with the water feature and lights. I wrote this on Kathy's TR but I never used to go on Dumbo, but I did after they re-did this who area and I fell in love!! I will for sure be riding at night every time we go now. It's so pretty!

The barnstormer is a fun ride but the line is always so long. It's fun for kids though.

I haven't be in the Big Top store yet, but I will try for that this next time too!

We are going to Disney on Feb 26th and were hoping to get a BOG lunch fastpass for Saturday, Feb 28th. When I go to the BOG website it shows me the calendar with our trip dates. But when I select a day it shows that there aren't any fastpasses available for that day. So the BOG lunch website still works, it just doesn't have any fp's for any date after Feb 25th.

 

[nikki7680]

I know that sad feeling all too well. I actually started crying when we were in line to see Mickey on our last MK day The kids thought I was weird but my wonderful Hubby consoled me! He knows Disney is my Happy Place.

 

[OregonMomToWDW]

You did have a bad Monday. I love all the photos. We have been to BOG lunch twice. Never have sat in the main ballroom. We sat in West Wing the first time. Marissa does not like thunder, so that was not a good room for her. The next time, we sat in the other room. Cannot think of the name of it. It was quieter and nicer. We all had the pork and loved it. No fat on ours. I would have freaked out if there was. We all had the master cupcake as well. Loved that one. We have yet to hear the suits of armor talk, it is always so loud and you get rushed right past them. When we go again, we will try for dinner, because it would be very cool to see the Beast.

 

[glaserjm]

I hate the last MK day!! I drag my feet so badly walking down Main Street!

Good review of Be Our Guest; we haven't made it there yet, but I feel like we will sometime in the near future.

 

[MissMaryQC]

Which one? the one of him bowing??? Is it really???

I should have been more clear I meant the picture of Prince Adam flashing into the Beast; I've read on a few other TRs that people weren't able to grab that shot, but you got it! Maybe your trusty old camera isn't so old after all?

Last day at MK is always the saddest. You want to run around and have fun (and it looks like your clan did) but you also just want to cry and Meg looks like she might!

I LOVE the pictures of Dumbo at night. There was one on the Disney Blog maybe a year ago that was unbelievably cool. I can see why that'd make you want a new camera! Disney fund, I mean tax return, season is upon us; always nice to get something fun with that money.

Also, what is up with the service dog just wondering about?!? Where is his human? What happened? It's gonna drive me bonkers!

 

[kde175]

Hi there...I'm mostly a lurker on the DIS, but wanted to let you know that I'm sad that you're on the last day, too. I'm going to miss reading along.

Thanks so much for writing it and your pictures are awesome.
