Love the sunset and fireworks photos!!

 

[glennbo123]

Great pictures Pat! I'm having trouble deciding which I like better: the sunset or the fireworks pictures. Oh heck, why choose? They're both great.

Following along. Seems like a great trip already.

I wish I would have written down her name. Maybe I can stop in NEXT WEEK and check to see if she is still there.

Love the sunset and fireworks photos!!

Thank you and well we need to re-schedule that lunch. Hopefully my crazy schedule will get more normal soon.

Thank you. It was a great night.

I actually did utter what a horrible trip but I have yet to explain how that happened or why.

Thursday, July 5th

The day after .... the big fireworks show and guess what ???

My bad habits continued….. Up and out the door well after rope drop again.
To the bus or the boat??? Neither. Taking the car today.

Past the turtle.

Past the Mickey head.

To the car to……




The TTC. Go to the resort monorail…. Why because this was at the express.

Also I cannot see construction at the GF if I take the express monorail.

Walls going up ( remember this was July )

Hitting the park by 9:15. Not too bad but certainly not my norm…
First stop? Space Mountain.

FP for later and a not too long wait stand by now.

Now I had some time to stand in from of the video that they show. I am sure it meant to be cheesy but even the peoples heads don’t move all at the same time.



I hate when they do that to the ride photo

By the time I get off it was time to get another FP- the norm in TL.

Stand by was showing no wait??? Probably not much of one anyway.
How do you kill time in TL?

Still had some time to kill before Buzz. The FP enforcement keeps me in TL instead of wandering…

Yup the CoP See that family? All the blue shirts? Family Reunion and they all had a different character on the back.
I was pretty content until the last scene. The billboard in the kitchen caught my attention.

With my fantastic zoom what will I find?

The frame on the far right of the scene on top of a cabinet or shelf.

IKEA is the future???

HM on the counter.

Perfect timing.

Now to go use those FP.

Not a bad morning for missing rope drop!

So, the note on the board said to call Becky - did you?

 

[KatMark]

9:15 isn't too bad past rope drop...it could have been worse.

Love how you utilize those fastpasses.

Were you a bad girl and took pictures in COP? I forget who it was...MEK, maybe???...started to take pictures and got yelled at.

I can only guess most people had a late night the night before and slept in.

Totally blew making the comment for the note about Becky.... See horrible.

That board really caught my eye and with my zoom, I could see all the imagination that went into creating the board.

9:15 was not too bad, but certainly later than my norm.

I think I was told no FLASH phoography and no flash was used. I wish they would get that straight. Poor MEK I mean no flash will not disturb people and only if the theater was full I could see sitting near and hearing the camera and all.

I was a rule follower ..... this time.

 

[jenseib]

How wonderful to have so many firework options.

I never noticed the bulletin board. now I have to go again. lol

Did you call Becky? LOL


And did you see the one date...10/20/11. It's now the past!

 

[englishrose47]

Did you make Marty's changes ???????

 

[Charleston Princess]

And we were at MK that day! In Tomorrowland to start with!!!

 

[jillyb]

Thank you and well we need to re-schedule that lunch. Hopefully my crazy schedule will get more normal soon.

Yes we do!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

dont rub it in or anything haha...if she is there take a picture with her and you can post it in your next report.

IKEA is the future???

i hope so i like there furniture.

I'm sorry, I'm just cracking up at the SM ride photo. It looks like you're lecturing the other riders on not swimming during electrical storms. Or maybe telling them not to try to retrieve their hats from underneath the ride.

 

[teekathepony]

9:15 is not too bad at all. It's practically rope drop!
Love all the TL pics, especially the pin board in CoP! How cool! I've never noticed it before so of course now I'll have to check it out next time.

 

[eandesmom]

Not horrible!

Express monorail looked rather full anyway. No flash, rest is ok. Love the close ups!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the single finger to indicate first ride of the day, first ride on SM or some other hidden meaning?

 

[MeMom]

Nice job on the bulletin board pictures. I'd love to know who the pictures are of.
We need to get Lou M. to find out the story on that.

 

[MEK]

Are you kidding me? you found all that in Cop - in the kitchen? Wow! And to think the only thing I ever notice is that old 80's oven (cause I had the exact same one )

I would say you FP times are pretty reasonable!

 

[jeremysdisneymom]

Pat, I am trying to get caught up as I have been MIA for about 2 months now!!! Hope you are doing well and had a great holiday. I see that you are about to head to the world again for a run. How exciting! Hope you do well and have fun.

Love your pictures from the 4th of July! I really missed being there last year. I think I have decided that despite the heat, I really enjoy the summer months more than others. We won't be there this year but hoping for the 4th in 2014.

I knew you were headed to see your tumble monkey in AK. Can't believe how close you got to park that day to the entrance. I like AK but have yet to explore the Tree of Life. I always feel rushed in there with the boys. They like to do their favorites and get out of there for some reason.

How was Disneyland? Are you going to do a report from your trip there?

Will try to do better in keeping up. Things have slowed down here so I should be able.
