I play that game at Disney too.
Yes! People do this all the time. In the butterfly tent an older gentleman literally shoved his phone under mine to take a picture of a butterfly. It was on top of the butterfly! I never got my picture because well the butterfly didn't like having a camera on top of it and flew away.
That sounds like something people do in middle school

Picturing giant chains of people running in holding hands is kind of funny.
Me too! Josh doesn't get it
Oh, I know...as soon as I saw that picture of me with only PART of Pluto, the title chapter wrote itself!
I've been working on perfecting a humidity proof hair strategy, and I think I'm finally there! At least closer than I've ever been.
Why are people so rude and horrible?? I always try to stand off to the side and wait when I want pictures of something, and like, take turns or whatever...I'm too nice maybe.
It was definitely like a middle school thing...or like kindergarteners on a field trip thing. Literally a chain of about ten people holding hands and running off into the park.
Maybe if Figment had an Indiana Jones hat he'd be more into it, LOL!
I say like 5 minutes lol.
I love this shot!
This should be on the top of every single one of my updates lol
Preetttyy much.
Thank you!!
Haha, no such thing as too many pictures!!
Your selfie's aren't nearly as awkward as mine!. At least most of your face is always in the frame
Um, well, let's just say I'm only sharing the LEAST awkward of the awkward selfies...
Yay for updates! Your "awkward selfies" are making my day!

They're actually mostly not awkward and quite lovely.
F&G Wooh! I'm so excited that we will be able to catch some of this, ever so briefly. I didn't think in my wildest imaginings that we'd get to it this year.
Ohmygoodness.
You're already beating me, mine would be up already. Our first couple's trip I underestimated what late April and early May would be like and wore my hair down...only to find it sweaty and disgusting within an hour! Not this time. Lol
Gah. I get so frustrated with people on vacation who are all entitled and think their experience is the only one that matters. People are funny.
Aw, you're nice! I'm definitely not sharing the worst of them, LOL!!
The hair did not stay down very long this day!
People ARE funny. I frequently wonder what in the world is going on inside their heads!!
Yay Epcot! You got so many great pics, especially the ones with the monorail in the background!
The Figment topiary is so cute!
Thank you!! On the next Epcot day I stand around and wait a ridiculously long time waiting for the monorail to roll by to get the perfect picture

I love the Figment topiary so much!!
Following along! I was going to go on a solo trip this past March for my birthday, but then my mom said that she wanted to tag along, which was definitely awesome, but I still want to go solo one day! I can't wait to hear about all the fun things you were able to do by yourself!
Solo was fun but SO different!
I'm taking my mom in October, so I'm looking forward to having that experience too!
Woah a 10 minute wait on Soarin! That's awesome!
I'm with ya on the scents. I already spend enough money at Bath & Body Works; if they made Disney scents I'd go totally broke!!
Sounds like a very productive time in the Land!!
I was so surprised to have such a low wait on Soarin', especially since that's where everyone headed at rope drop! I can't believe I managed to get there just in time, before the wait time shot up.
Bath and Body Works candles are my FAVORITE, so I'd go broke too if they had Disney scents, lol!!
That's how I felt - very productive. I had managed to take a gazillion pictures, go pretty slowly, ride Soarin' twice and the Land, all in about an hour. I was feeling pretty proud of myself, haha!
i experienced the same thing on my trip in late february...the Soarin' gods blessed us with a 15 min wait.
i love the scents as well. I hate the smell of Evergreen but for some reason i LOVED it in Soarin. Polar bears are also my favorite zoo animal so that was a pleasant surprise!
Can't wait to see what you are doing next! Hopefully you eventually got on the Nemo!
Hooray for low Soarin' times! I feel like THAT is what they need to make a special shirt for - low Soarin' wait club members!
I want to know how they manage to make the scents seem so fresh smelling! It's crazy. Disney magic shocks me in such strange ways sometimes.
SAME! Always and forever
That's only ever happened to me in DCA! That's pretty great - a 10 minute wait for anything is always awesome!
Same! Or Yankee Candle (because I'm selfish and they're everywhere up here and I'm only an hour from their main store lol)
I miss the Living Seas ride, too, even though I like Nemo. It was probably one of the bigger disappointments for me! I feel the same about El Rio del Tiempo in Mexico and now with Maelstrom #neverforget
Oh, Yankee Candle would be good too! It's like hitting candle lottery when the Buy Three Get Three Free coupons come out each season!
I love the Figment topiary, it was up in February! I wasn't as thrilled with the new Soarin the first time I rode it then the next time we were seated in the middle and it was so much better. I love all your pictures! I always try to do selfies and I look so bad in them ugh!
i'm glad you got to see the Figment topiary in February, it's so, so cute!!
I'm also glad I'm not the only one who took awhile to warm up to the new Soarin'. Now I'm kind of obsessed though!
My selfies are normally ridiculous...I have not mastered getting good backgrounds. And I hate how i look in photos anyway, so I always take them at a weird angle to avoid double chins...it's silly, I guess!
We've gotten the middle seats just about every time we've ridden the new Soarin' and it has been great. I figure that karma will get us, though, and we'll be on the edges the next four times we ride it.
We're looking forward to really looking at the flowers during our upcoming trip, rather just glance at them like we did in March. They look beautiful this year.
I'm hoping you keep your center-of-soarin' luck!!
The flowers were AMAZING this year! Granted, it's been a very long time since I've been to a Flower and Garden festival, so I'm biased, but they really were spectacular. Seeing how far Disney has come with the way the topiaries look is awesome, too.
All caught up! Here's a really long response LOL:
Gorgeous!! Staying there this weekend and I'm so excited. Although not savanna view.
I know, I feel like the bathrooms are exceptionally clean at Disney considering the thousands of people that have stayed in the same room...
I am usually running on adrenaline at Disney...I'm mentally awake and excited to go on but physically I can't keep up!
So gorgeous! I will have to pay more attention on this trip.
I love the them and how cohesive it is there.
I usually do this first too! But this time we have a late night safari FP because we've never done it at night!
Haha I have never seen it! I've heard these comments about the show before. I may catch it though if we have time just to say I've seen it once.
Soooo grateful for these...they were indipensible when we tried to take naps after the Princess 5k. I need it to be pitch black when I sleep!
Good for you! Can't imagine that there are rude people at Disney but I guess it's unavoidable because they are everywhere...
Hahaha we encountered guys like this too! We were waiting for a bus and this father with grown kids were talking and joking about something and he leans over to us and says, "I'm not with them." and his wife leans over to me and says, "Oh he's with us, alright." Then the dad leans over and says "I'm just the ATM machine!"
I think it's so cute when older couples do this!
I forget that they changed the name! I still remember it as Living Seas as well.
Haha I'm like that every time I ride LWTL! People must be bored with all my pictures of plants and stuff.
Ooh, have fun at AKL this weekend!! I really did love the resort, it's just so beautiful! The bathrooms are like a revelation, lol! How do they keep the grout so clean? I know that's a weird thing to fixate on, but I can't help it
Yes, definitely check out the animals on the tree! I really do find something new every time. The lands really are very cohesive, that's a great word for it. The transitions are seamless...ah, Disney magic strikes again!
We did the night safari in December...it was kind of creepy?? There was something a little scary about being out there in the dark with animals hiding out who knows where...it was a totally different experience. (and you could see fireworks from Hollywood Studios!)
Ugh, that Nemo show.
Those curtains were amazing. My room faced the sunrise, which is great, but also VERY BRIGHT in the morning. I can imagine they were a lifesaver during the 5K weekend!
I can't get enough plant pictures on LwtL! I have to document ALL potential changes, you know

We tried a Spireside candle once. It smelled pretty nice, but nothing like it was supposed to (the polynesian lobby). Disappointing to hear the others aren't great either. I don't really like buying candles that I can't smell beforehand too.
I'm glad yours smelled nice at least! But sorry it was disappointing, too. Mine all smelled pretty much the same...like melted plastic. So bad!
I don't like buying candles smell-unsmelled either! The only thing I feel slightly more confident doing that with is Scentsy, because the lady I buy from will take it back from me if I hate it!
