If I stay at All Star Movies again, I am going to request Toy Story. It is so cute! (Of course, this is just their pictures, I hadn't been over there at that point!)

Looks like they had a nice walk! When I stayed at All Star Music, I took a walking tour of the three resorts and it started pouring so I never did make it all the way through All Star Movies. It was the Toy Story section that I missed.

I completely agree. Anything Mickey shaped just tastes better. And amazingly is better for you. This does NOT include liver.

So many lovely pictures around the All Stars. Since I have never been, they're all the more lovelier.

You've never been? You'll have to take a little visit over. They really are a lot of fun. Similar to Pop, but not quite exact.

July 25, 2014

P and I had a very important breakfast booked. We had an ADR for Cinderella's Royal Table!!!

And P didn't want to get up! I was just a tad bit annoyed with this, so once I was ready, I went outside and wrote in the journal for a bit.

She did eventually get up, and in time for them to drive us to MK.

We were stopped at the light near the McDonalds, and there was a steady stream of CMs crossing the street. I did get a shot of the last few. There must be a CM parking lot nearby and then they have Disney transportation to take them to their resort for the day or something.


from raw-7701 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

This was the very first time I was NOT on Disney transportation on my way to a WDW park!


from raw-7702 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

We got dropped off at the TTC and I was hoping to take the ferry across. I've never been on the ferry from the TTC.


from raw-7705 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

See, I'd never seen this gift shop before! No time to head in though.


from raw-7708 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I'd only done the monorail switch at the TTC so I was very much enjoying having a quick peek around while trying to figure out where to go.


from raw-7709 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

We were advised to take a bus to the MK. There was a bus when we were walking up, but they didn't wait for us!


from raw-7710 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I was getting antsy while waiting for the next bus, but we really didn't have to wait long. We got on an accordion bus, as I like to call them.


from raw-7711 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

And saw a monorail go by.


from raw-7712 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

It was a really beautiful morning.


from raw-7713 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Here comes a ferry.


from raw-7713 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7714 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Maybe I'll take the ferry next time.


from raw-7715 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7716 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7717 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7718 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

All those people waiting, and we were sent right in for our ADR!


from raw-7719 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7721 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7722 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I really love MK!


from raw-7723 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I was snapping and walking, so I'm surprised these pictures turned out okay.


from raw-7725 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

There's the beautiful Castle!

[DisneyFreak06]

I hope you don't mind Castle pictures (I'll make up for Rob's lack of Castle pictures in his TR post the other day! hee hee) because there will be quite a few!

The park was scheduled to be open at 9am.


from raw-7732 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7733 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7734 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

A few people were going for a ride.


from raw-7736 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

There she is! What a beauty! And you can see the photopass photographer that we stopped to pose for.


from raw-7737 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7738 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Here are a few he took with my camera.


from raw-7740 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7742 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7744 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

The ones he took with his camera need a little editing. He had us lean forward, and let's just say that there was some more skin showing than either P or I am comfortable with! I don't think he did it on purpose, and we didn't even notice it until we looked at the pictures on MDE. Oopsies!

It all started with a MOUSE!


from raw-7748 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7749 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Look at this! Not a single person in this Castle shot! (Actually I don't see another person in the last two pictures either.)


from raw-7751 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7752 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7753 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Oh no! Someone got in my shot! Oh well, at least she's a PRINCESS!!

A lovely CM offered to take our picture, but P wasn't up for it there.


from raw-7770 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

We checked in and didn't wait too long before we were sent in for our picture. You will see more in my next post.

 

[KelleyK75]

I had gotten somewhat behind but I am all caught up now. Wonderful updates. Your pictures are always great. I love the resort pictures and the Castle pics with no people are always cool to see. Can't wait to hear about your CRT time.

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Haha, you know I never really thought about people not having even seen the TTC before. And yet, you STILL ended up on a bus, lol.

Haha, yeah, thanks for making up for my extreme lack of castle pics, lol.

Ah so great to have that empty-ish line of sight for photopass photos. And then people-less castle photos. Those are keepers.

 

[jenseib]

Hee hee hee! I knew I wasn't alone with the love for OUAT! It's just so great! I am happy Hook got his hook back, but at the same time I can't figure out if he was tricked by Gold. Well, I know he was tricked, but I do so want to totally believe that the hand was bad!

Me too!

I have not been to Writers Stop either. I just never think about it. I think I am like you and have overlooked it thinking it was just a store front.

It looks like you actually had the preshow with people for the Backlot tour. In march they just gave us a quick preview and we moved on. Which I am fine with as I never liked that part anyways.

Great night shots. The sky does look beautiful!

No problem! I have ONE picture of the castle from my first trip. And it's blurry. I have been trying to make up for that ever since!

Just like Epcot, eh?

The Writer's Stop is really easy to miss, but it was a really nice place to just relax, nibble on a carrot cake cookie and try to get caught up on my journal, but I didn't make it! LOL

[DisneyFreak06]

We didn't have to wait long until it was time to head in to have our picture taken with Cindy.


from raw-7772 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7773 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I do have a shot of us with Cinderella, but I'll just do the photopass pictures later.


from raw-7774 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7775 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

These were delicious! I should not have eaten as much as I did because I knew what I would order... and it was going to be carb heavy again!


from raw-7776 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I was planning all along to get the French Toast. And that is what I ordered!


from raw-7777 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Someone was getting a little tired. I guess the trip excitement and lack of quality sleep was catching up to her.


from raw-7779 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

What a beautiful place it was.


from raw-7781 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7783 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

P got the traditional breakfast.


from raw-7784 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Seriously, look at this. This just makes me drool looking at it!


from raw-7785 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

It was as good as it looks, but it was heavy. All those pastries and then this, I couldn't finish it! And no, I didn't eat all the pastries either.


from raw-7786 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7787 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

We were sitting in the upper area and we looked out over the dining room. It wasn't as mice as my window seat when I was last there, but it was still beautiful.


from raw-7788 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

We had eaten as much as we really wanted to, but we picked, well, I picked while we waited for the princesses.

Snow White was first. I can't help but want to call her Mary Margaret!


from raw-7790 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I had forgotten to tell P to put the little red dot on one of our faces, so we are a little out of focus. My bad!


from raw-7792 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Next up was Aurora.


from raw-7796 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I remembered to remind P about the dot this time.


from raw-7798 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Ariel was great! I can't remember what exactly she said, but she talked about my whatsit (watch) or something like that. I told her that she was lucky to have found Eric and I would have gone after him if she hadn't already found him. LOL She was great about it.


from raw-7800 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

See my big, goofy grin?


from raw-7804 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

We stopped at the ladies room.


from raw-7807 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7808 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7809 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I forgot to look for Gus and JaqJaq.


from raw-7810 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

All in all it was a fun experience. It is very pricey, so it was my big treat for P. I enjoy character meals, but I don't usually spend that much on breakfast! LOL The characters were fun, the restaurant was beautiful, the service was fine. It was then 9:30 am and we were on our way to get on a few rides!

 

[jenseib]

We haven't eaten breakfast at the castle yet, just few dinners.....but your food looks great and some day we need to try this.

 

[KCmike]

Wonderful report. I've been lurking a little bit. Wonderful photos as usual.

 

[KelleyK75]

It looks like a fun breakfast with the Princesses. I have boys so we haven't done this yet. I do want to eat there once, so I can have the experience of being inside the castle.

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Does your camera have a really good flash (or maybe it wasn't needed?) because your character photos are so crisp.

By the way, I forgot to mention that I love P's shirt. I may have to get me one (or make me one) because I love that sentiment. I may choose a slightly different style though.

So nice to see Aurora back in her old new dress. So much prettier. And it's funny how many people hate Ariel's new dress. I know it's not the "traditional" but it sill suits her I think. It looks Aqua and HELLO, she's a mermaid!!! I do miss the hair starfish though. And I guess I'm not really a fan of the puffy sleeves. Well, I like the colour anyway, lol.

Dinner would be lovely, but honestly I'm scared that the food might be too fancy for me! I really am a plane Jane when it comes to food.

Wonderful report. I've been lurking a little bit. Wonderful photos as usual.

Thanks! And come on out of lurkdom whenever you feel like it!

That's the whole reason for it for me. To see the Castle. Once the boys are older you might get them in, just tell them the Princesses are single or something! LOL

My camera does have a little flash, but I don't often use it. These were all done without the flash. Shooting in raw and then using a little bit of noise control can help.

P had made a few shirts. This was one. I love the message too, although I think she kind of felt she was too old once she was there. LOL I wish I was good at photoshop because I'd put your head on her body to see how that style looks for you!

I don't pay much attention to their dresses, but I agree, Ariels color is perfect.

 

[stinkerbell007]

Next up was Aurora.


from raw-7796 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Oh, my. That is somewhat of an 'unfortunate' picture of Aurora, although P looks adorable (LOVE her shirt!). Aurora almost looks like she has braces on, and her hand, from this angle, looks like a giant man hand. Yikes!

BUAHAHAHAHA!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Sorry for the delay! I have been busy with interviews and report cards. (And I'm procrastinating right now, I actually should be doing the comments on those cards! hee hee hee)

After leaving our breakfast feeling quite stuffed, we browsed a shop and I found this pressed penny!


from raw-7811 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Yes, it was the Elsa one I wanted. But it was out of order. I said I'd come back and find it later, but I never did. Too sad. I do love Frozen. Even more after the whole Once Upon a Time Storyline!

We were off to find a ride. No plans yet, but we did have a FP+ for later, I believe.


from raw-7812 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

It was an extremely bright morning.


from raw-7814 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

P didn't want to wait for this one. I think the wait was about 90 minutes or so.


from raw-7815 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

from raw-7820 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I wanted to hop in this line. 20 minutes for PP early in the morning? Go for it. But alas, P didn't want to.


from raw-7821 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

But by the time we got to It's a Small World, the wait was short and P was hot, so she said to go for it.

And if you really, really love IASW, you can browse many other pictures that are on my Flickr page. I took over 50 pictures. LOL

Honestly, I enjoy IASW once or so a trip, except at DL, I go more often. I love all the hidden Disney characters there!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Ater IASW we were off for some more rides. I wanted to find some Pascals, but P would not let me stay too long in the beautiful washroom area.... (Rob, what did you call it? Tinkletown?)

10 minutes for HM? We're in! P had gone on it once her last trip, but I believe she had her eyes closed and her ears plugged at that point. LOL We'll see what she can do this time!


from raw-7913 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I really love this ride.

I didn't take any pictures on the ride because someone was latched on to my arm! But her eyes were open and her ears were unplugged!


from raw-7930 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

You know, one day I'll actually enter that restaurant and order something.

from raw-7931 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7932 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I have never eaten in the Diamond Horseshoe either. In DL I did though.


from raw-7933 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I guess I have two new CS restaurants to try.


from raw-7935 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

Nope, we didn't go see the Country Bear Jamboree. Although it's been a few years since I've seen it, it's about time I head back in there.

Been a few years since I've been to Pecos Bill's too.


from raw-7937 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7939 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I guess the 20 minute wait was too long for P, and she knew we had a FP+ for it for later on, either that day or with the family later on in the trip.


from raw-7941 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr


from raw-7942 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Nope, I wouldn't wait 90 minutes for Mine Train either. It's cute, but it's not THAT cute.

Now 20 minutes for PP I might do because it IS that cute.

Haha, Tinkletown works. Tangled Tinkle Spot was mine, lol.

Haha, too funny that P was still a little nervous on HM. It's kinda precious really.

Yes, it is time to head back to Country Bears.
