Weird and I were very interested in looking for the flashing lights. I don't think we were able to find it on Splash Mountain because everything happened so quickly before I even realized to look. We did see the flashing lights in the Tinkertoy display in TSM though. Love how these things are so seamlessly incorporated!
UGH, we were waiting for someone to come on the POTC PA system to say no flash photography! Worst part of the vacation with the rudest people! It'll be a while before we get up to that though.
Yeah, we saw the TSM one too. Atleast I did.
That is part of my thing too, I am afraid someone will start screaming at me if I am constantly snapping pictures with the flash. It is rude! If you take one or two then fine, I don't mind but when it's nonstop...
So glad MK wasn't crowded when you guys were there!
We always start MK off with Splash Mountain, and then walking right on Big Thunder

That's so interesting about the flashing light! I'll look out for it next time I ride Splash.
I can't believe how many people flash their cameras on Pirates even though it's repeated over and over "NO FLASH." It's so distracting!
I know! There was one time a few trips ago where there were people taking pictures when I could see their cameras/phones' screens and their pictures were NOT turning out. I guess that's why they kept trying though.
It's amazing how much you can get done pre-park opening!
Yes it is. We love EMH.
Yes, you got PP FP's! And with surprise FP's for PhilharMagic!

How awesome is that?!
You were breezing through lots of things! I like that pic from Splash when you're outside on the water.
Yay! You did the Swiss Family Treehouse!! Aren't the views nice?!
It was pretty cool but we never used them.

I don't think we would've needed to anyway. LOL.
I have to kind of thank you for inspiring me to do the treehouse again. I really liked your pictures in your TR!
Great update Sarah.
I think Adventureland is my fav part of the park.
Thanks!
I love your pics from Splash and Big Thunder. I love Frontierland. It's my favorite part of the park.
And oh my gosh, the Swiss Family Treehouse. I haven't been up there in so long! It used to be my favorite thing ever when I was a kid. I remember begging my dad to build me one in our backyard.
I love Frontierland too.
Same here, I know we did it on one of our very first trips but that was probably the only time. It's one of those things we thought was "boring." LOL.
That's so cool that you got extra surprise fastpasses for Mickey's Philharmagic!!
I'm a rule follower too! It's distracting when people use flash on the indoor rides.

I have had to play around with my camera a bit but I think I've found a pretty good setting to take pics inside and always without flash.
YAY! for the Swiss Family Treehouse!! We've never done that before...it's always something we seem to miss!
I've gotten a few decent on-ride pictures. I usually get the best ones when we are stopped.
You should try the treehouse sometime. It does tend to get overlooked by a lot of people, including us!
Love the update, Sarah. You and your dad managed to accomplish a lot in one short morning. 
Another rule follower here---In my case, it comes from being the oldest child.
Yup, and we're not quite done yet.
Hmmm, maybe that is why I am a rule follower too!
You are having a great MK morning! I love it! But I'm afraid the crowds are going to show up eventually. It is the Easter Break.
You're right, it was Easter break plus the MK always seems to get crowded in the afternoon...
Wasn't the Swiss Family Tree House-on your list "to do" for the first time?
My sister just told me, that all the band parents received an e-mail, and our h.s. band is going to WDW the last week in March. March 27-April 2, 2011. The band will leave on coach busses on Sunday and will get to Florida Monday afternoon. My sister doesn't want to leave till Tuesday. Blah! And come home on Saturday. Double Blah Blah!! The only good thing about the band not going over Easter-the rooms aren't as expensive, even though it is still Spring Break prices and the extra sur-charge on food prices at TS resturants. I sure hope they have EMH at 7:00 a.m. when we go. My little sister is going to kill me. My older sister is used to getting up at 4:30 a.m. for her job, so I'm sure she will be with me!!
You are right, it was on my list for the first time but I know we did it a really long time ago.
That is awesome about the band going next year.

I think I remember you mentioning (probably in some other TR I was reading...) that the school goes a lot? I wonder if we ever saw them. I know we've seen some WI bands marching before the parade at the MK.
Wow! You guys are just waltzing through the park. I love the Swiss Family Treehouse--we once watched part of Wishes from up there, it was fun!
Oh wow, I bet that was cool to see Wishes from up there!
Nice job getting the tripple mountain whammey in so early in the day.

Hope the crowds stayed away longer for you.
Thanks! It's always nice to get the big attractions done right away so we don't have to wait long.
