nice ride on dumbo, great for riding it, i think it is something you need to ride even if you are old and with no kids, great timeless attraction.


i agree seemed some stuff was brand spankin new, others was worn and worn out, needed refurbed and replaced.

 

[eandesmom]

Won't it be hard to get different shots when you're doing and seeing the same things???

If we were together 24/7 probably. But we weren't and different eyes, at times, do see different things. Or maybe one hauls a camera out and the other doesn't.

Apparently you got one of the recycled Dumbos.

I really like your Dumbo story! I'm sure it will always be special to you!

Dingy Dumbo. Wah! It's funny though I actually didn't notice it until I looked at my picture so clearly most of Dumbo wasn't too bad. What would be special is to ride it again with her someday.

Just stand back to back when you're taking pictures. [

You're at Disney World. I'd gladly pitch a tent next to the dumpster.

Maybe not a dumpster but I'd gladly camp at the Fort someday. Unlikely but it'd be fun.

Very cute story. I admit I've always encouraged skipping Dumbo back when it was a 30-minute wait for a 30-second ride. Maybe with 2 of them it's not as bad?

Good question, I have no idea how it's been tracking at all.

Well heck, on this trip, everything I rode was even though I was old and with no kids.

I really didn't notice at the time and then looked at that picture and went WHOA, ick!

Now you can never take too many pictures of anything at Disney.....At least that's my theory.
Great Dumbo shots.
I love the pumpkin decor. I am just starting to edit mine too today. I wish it was that warm today too.

 

[natebenma]

Love your Dumbo story!!!

I have never been on Dumbo, nor have my kids! Not sure about my DH. He had one trip without me when he was in his early teens, but I doubt he and his brothers rode, so I think we are a Dumbo-less family!

I totally don't mind seeing the same pictures from both of you!

 

[petals]

I really need to book another WDW trip to see the new fantasyland.

There will be LOTS more pumpkin shots I am sure and probably more duplicates though many that won't be too! I just realized I haven't uploaded my photopass so need to get on that before my next update.

Dumbo-less



That's pretty funny. I doubt Jeff has ridden it since he was a kid. Positive he will not go on it next Dec, we will see about the kids.

Hopefully they won't all be duplicates! I don't think they will.

I really need to book another WDW trip to see the new fantasyland.

Sounds like a perfect reason to me!

 

[saintstickets]

Welcome back to cyberspace! Sounds like a pain, but at least your computer wasn't cooked and you were able to salvage everything!

Want to hear something funny - Denny's brother, wife, son, DIL, and grandkids are all going to Disney on October 24th - the same day that Denny and I arrive. (Pure coincidence) Actually, I think there two other sons are going as well. So we'll be seeing them, as well as you during F&W. I really can't wait. It's going to be a blast!

The more the merrier!! Really looking forward to this trip and finally meeting up in RL! We are having a Disney meetup here in south Mississippi next weekend. It should be interesting putting faces with DISboard screen names!

I see that Cynthia has been taking care of replies tonight - well, all except for Bill - so my services aren't needed here tonight. Sorry Bill.

Haha - just kidding ......

I have been working ad nauseam on a garage band project. I am garage banded out right now, so I need to put the computer away.

Until tomorrow..........

Were you thinking of me ???

 

[eandesmom]

See, we really were there! And Mary Ellen really was bagless!

I'd forgotten we'd gotten a photopass pic on the way out.

 

[amandaw]

Lovely photopass pics!

 

[teekathepony]

I am loving all the pics of the fall decorations! And dumbo, because its so pretty.
I love those cute little Halloween statues too. I have to get pictures of them every trip in the fall!

 

[KatMark]

Cynthia, love your update. I do adore those Halloween Statutes...they are part of my favorite part of the Halloween decorations. What a wonderful story about Dumbo. As we all know, my hubby loves Dumbo and it is one of the first things we do when we arrive at the MK. You really need to remedy the situation with the boys and get themon it on your next trip.

Great pictures (well, except of the inside of the one Dumbo).

 

[Pinkocto]

Whew, all caught up.

Firstly, I'm am so sorry for the loss of your friend. Going through your lovely tribute had me crying and I didn't know her at all. What a blessing you were touched by her beautiful spirit.

Loving all your photos of course. The WL looks great. I booked one night pre cruise in March and that will definitely not be enough. The plan for a while now has been to spend December 2013 there if I can get in.

I will try to keep up from now on. Great work ladies!

 

[khertz]

Just finally was able to get all caught up! I'm really loving this TR, especially seeing how each of you experienced things. Mary Ellen, your photos of Dumbo are fantastic, as always! I really like how in addition to moving the ride and doubling it, they added a lot of really awesome Disney touches to it.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, as well.

 

[glennbo123]

Okay, so now we have pictures so I can finally believe you.

Looks like you were having a fun time!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Great Photopass pics! I absolutely LOVE Spaceship Earth at night pictures. Wonder if I managed one on our last trip?

 

[teekathepony]

Awww great PP pics guys!!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

Were you thinking of me ???

of course not, dumbo goes to high in the air for you to ride.

So sorry I have not DISed in over 24 hours. I have been working on a video for Tracy Mann. It's funny how the video can be 95% complete and the last 5% of tweaking takes hours.

Anyway - instead of an update I am posting this

A Tribute to Tracy Mann Gone Too Soon

Replies tomorrow.
