A stroll back over to the Beach Club to charge up the phone for tomorrow and enjoy a night swim. That is all the posts for tonight. Good night and I'll post from Epcot tomorrow.

Happy Tuesday morning from the International Gateway. UK may have lost the basketball game, but we will still celebrate today.



Morning breakfast at Akershus with princesses.



The CM said there is a 5 hour wait for frozen characters. It is supposed to rain today as well. We are not waiting. Not sure if FP+ available for that.

Pool and eat......pool and eat.


Sounds like a well planned vacation.

Looks like you are having a great time! Love the pictures.

Nice picture of Jasmine!

Looks like you guys are really suffering. You probably need more ice cream.

Still just amazed with the wait for the frozen characters. We were in with EMH, and the line wrapped around Norway. A 5 hour wait before the park opens? I also saw families running past us to get there. Even as a commando, I never ran.

Onto Test Track. It was a 40 minute wait, so we did single rider line. We got to ride in two different cars in pairs.



Onto Mission Space. Buzz Lightyear Topiary in front. Orange side.



Onto Ellen's Universe of Energy.



No rain yet and touring plans working thus far.

Thanks for following along. You'll make it one day - all 8 of ya.

The Disney resorts are amazing. Too many miss them in a rush for the parks.

Looks like you are having a great time! Love the pictures.

Thanks.

Nice picture of Jasmine!

I wondered who would catch that.

Spiced Rum Dole Whip is the plan for today.

 

[AirGoofy]

It started raining. Drizzle. We went to the character spot. We had rain jackets and ponchos.

Mickey.



Goofy.



Minnie.



We used the MB for photopass with the whole family. One of these could be our Christmas cards this year.

That's insane about the 5 hour wait for the Frozen characters! Makes the 3 hour wait at Disneyland seem like a piece of cake!

 

[AirGoofy]

Over to Figment.



FP+ in the Living with the Land.



The other one.



A quick snack at the Seasons.



Time for FP+ at Soarin. Touring plans in check. It is now 12:50 PM.

 

[mm1971]

Looks like you guys are having a great vacation. I'm a little jealous, but will be there soon enough.

 

[AirGoofy]

Soarin has a 60 minute wait. Glad for FP+.



Right up the stairs into the Circle of Life with no wait.




Nemo and friends with no wait.




FP+ for Turtle Talk with Crush. This one was pointless, as we just ended up in the same queue with everyone else with a 15 minute wait. Time is now 2:15 PM and not yet open to be seated.

3 hours is crazy long as well. The longest we did was 60 minute for Rapunzel, and I thought that was too long. We ate while we were in line that made it a little better. I can't imagine doing that with young children.

Yes, we'll see you in October. You did get to drink a lot of rum on your last trip.

After a long day at the pool, we showered, rested, and cleaned up for dinner. The ESPN Club was cheaper than breakfast. I like bar food...

I know we all like the parks, but there is just so much fun at the resorts. That is part of the magic. I think it's close to campfire sing a long time on the beach, followed by a movie. Tonite is the Little Mermaid. My bunch are opting out of the campfire. We may return for the movie or a night swim.

Have you picked out the bar stools we are going to fall off of on the october trip?

Agree with just enjoying the resort is part of the fun. Spent many a relaxing day by the pool and otherwise taking advantage of the resort's amenities.

My first thoughts on My Magic Bands. I knew I would not be happy wearing one on my wrist, as I rarely wear watches or even long sleeve shirts. It is just my thing. So, I did manage to wear it most of the day, it wasn't pleasant.

Mine lasted about 15 minutes on my wrist before I took it off. Most of the time it was strapped to the camera bag. Easier to lose I know, but I was not going to wear it.

 

[AirGoofy]

After Crush, we went to get our Disney Chase picture. And we found Pluto, the character my youngest wanted to see.



Then, we started to get our drink on. Spiced rum dole whip and coconut rum dole whip. The coconut rum was better. The dds had a lemonade.



I have been wanting to try a cronut. It is a croissant that is deep fried like a donut. Google it and check out the sale prices in New York. They were very good, although, I preferred the Dole Whip.



Back to drinking.



The lemon Grey Goose slush. I am feeling really good.

There are just so many. I've kept the MB on because I have to keep up with my children. No way I can add something else.

Glad you are having a great time Norm. Great pics and just love the Yuengling for two pic Agreee that the coconut rum dole whip was the better of the two compared to the dark rum. WTH with the towel and shoe tossing at the pool DW or DD would go ballistic. Again glad you are having a great time and the Jasmine pic is classic - sorry about UK but nice run.
