SURPRISE!.......You forgot the WHAT!? A November 1st-11th 2012 TR* BIG UPDATE!!2/3

[Caretames1]

Oh my word! I can't believe how empty the park was. So empty that there was room to do kangaroo hopping and dancing! Love it!

I've been guilty of taking flash pictures on Pirates too so I'm not going to scold you one little bit. Great pictures by the way!

That was the most empty I've ever seen it, what a great day! John likes to act up, and Kadence isn't one to be to embarrassed by it, she usually joins in the goofiness!

Whew! I was afraid the Disney police would come drag me away to Florida and stick me in Disney jail......WAIT! Can they?

 

[Caretames1]

So off we go, singing Yo Ho, Yo Ho……. and headed over to The Flying Carpet ride, which had no wait. I did really like the no crowds’ thing!

After that, let’s cruise the Jungle! No waits, walked right onto a boat.

We had an older gentleman CM and his delivery of the corny jokes was so bland it had to be an act; he could not be that mundane!

Those silly Apes!

I bet that left a mark!

I think a lady across from me thought the hippo was real, she was shaking the lady next to her pointing and gasping “Look a Hippo!” LOL, I wasn’t going to tell her!

The backside of water, which really did inspire me.

A quick trip through the temple,

And past some playful elephants, I watched the lady and she didn’t act like these were real, so I think she had been told.

Anyone want their head shrunk?

Soon our cruise was over, and we asked Kadence what she wanted to ride next.

Winnie the Pooh, Which hadn’t been open during EMH,
There was a 20 min wait time posted, but it sure looked shorter than that to me. Kadence wanted to play, so we waited while she played, making her move along as the line moved.

Oh Beast’s Castle, I want to be closer to you!

Soon it was time to get Kadence in line and board our honey pot.

I have to say, it’s not my favorite ride, but Kadence likes it and that is what matters.

Back outside, another shot of Beasts Castle…from far away….too far for me.

We walked past the entrance again and I sweetly asked the same CM if she knew if they were going to allow any public guests inside today, and she smiled and said maybe, come back later…with a wink. A Wink! Is there really a chance that we will get in? I said thank you and we walked away with hope this time!

 

[petals]

Thanks! LOL it is nice and dark, perfect for a nap.

I don't remember much funny enough. Only that I know I put my head down to avoid seeing anything and had to be woken up afterwards lol

You got loads done before 9.30. I love when it rains in Florida and everyone hides from it. If we were to hide from rain over here we'd never go out like

I really really really want to get back to Magic Kingdom and see the new Fantasyland

I think EMH with a bit rain was the best thing that happened, and we aren't font yet! Rain doesn't bother me either unless it torrential.

You should, it's pretty awesome!

Those are lovely pictures of Beast's Castle! Almost surreal looking.

I also enjoyed all your pics from JC. That is such a fun ride and I love it, especially when you get a great captain.

Fun update. Glad your wait for Pooh wasn't that long.

Thank you! It's seems so far away, just out of reach. Taunting everyone to come visit! LOL

The first time we rode JC we had the most awesome captain, but this one was so weird! I've heard it's a pretty neat ride at night, so I'm going to give that a shot.

Thanks!

Getting caught up with your last couple of updates.

Glad you enjoyed your Lunch at le Cellier, we had lunch there in 2010 for my DH's B-day and really liked it. We paid OOP for it (we had that free Disney Gift Card promotion they were running at the time though so we really didn't "Pay"). I don't know if it would be worth 2 credits for Lunch, maybe for dinner.

Love that you got such low crowds at MK!! I really need to try to make some rope drops when we go, we are just not early risers, but we need to try to be. I know there are much smaller lines and crowds.

Love the Winnie the Pooh ride! I haven't seen the interactive queue yet though since we missed that ride on our last trip, and it wasn't there yet in 2010.

Love the Jungle Cruise, I always try to get that picture of "The Back of Water!"

I agree, lunch should have stayed 1credit. I had heard a few reviews that the food was salty and I was scared because I trust that their reviews, so I was glad we had a good experience. I have heard it may depend on who's in the kitchen.

I'm glad we are earlier risers by nature, but the rain helped a lot!

The only thing about the Winnie the Pooh queue is the honey wall.... Ewwww. I let her play, but the antibacterial wipes come out along with a squirt of hand sanitizer.

The back of water was inspiring to say the least. Bathrooms were searched out right after the ride. LOL

 

[Disney9.9.10]

I'm back and all caught up! You have so many great pictures and I love how Kadence always poses, very cute What a great morning at MK, you got a ton of stuff done since there were no crowds - having boats to yourself on rides is so awesome!

Welcome back!

Thank you, she is a poser. LOL

It was awesome seeing the park so empty! I've never had such empty rides, it was too tempting to shortcake advantage of it.

 

[Caretames1]

Mickey’s PhillharMagic was next, I love this show. I’m not big on 3-D, but this is awesome! Kadence just laughs at Donald’s butt every time.

At this time John announced he was starving, we only ate a small breakfast, muffins, so we decided to get lunch. Our choice was to try Columbia Harbour House for the first time

Kadence went with PB&J, fries, and grapes,

John with the fried fish, fries and chocolate cake and I had the Lobster roll with apple desert.

John liked his fish, but I really did not like the lobster roll, it was not good. The apple desert was good, so I was fine with sneaking some fries off their plates.

After lunch it was only coming on 11:15am so we headed over Tomorrowland. The sky turned pretty blue and the sun was shining!

Buzz Lightyear was requesting our help in defeating Zurge, so in we went, wait times where still in the 15-20 minute range.

I was able to catch our ride photos, John looks so intense, and Kadence is looking for something?

I must have been in awe of something.LOL

Zurge was defeated, and Kadence thought a visit in jail was a nice idea.

Next we needed a good laugh, so Monster Inc Laugh Floor was the place to be!

She wanted to open the door, but I told her that once it’s opened you get sucked in.

Laughs were had, “That Guy” was picked on, and the canister was filled so it was a success in every way.

It was coming up on Noon, and I thought let’s ask that CM one more time, crossing our fingers we headed back to Fantasy Land.

A few pictures along the way, of course Kadence has her poses down.

Pretty Topiaries

So, we approach the same CM we spoke to twice already. We smiled……….




and nicely asked……………..

 

[Britard]

Joining in to the report- late but still here!

Love all of the stories so far, all the ups and downs starting so early has kept me entertained.

So..what does the CM say!!!!

I hear it's fashionable to be late, so I'd say you are right on time!

Thanks, some of those downs were

The CM says...

 

[jenseib]

You can't leave us hanging....that is so cruel.....but I think I already know the answer.
I have heard that their is an older guy on the jungle cruise that is really bad. He's like an icon or something and people sometimes try to get him. They say he can say the same lame jokes as others, but he just doesn't have the umph to deliver them right.
I bet you had him.
I want to say his name is Frank, but I could be totally wrong about that.
I have heard mixed things about the lobster roll at CH. I will stick with the tuna then!

 

[wiigirl]

Great update!

You do know, but I needed to load more pictures so it seemed like a good place to stop!

Yeah, this was an older guy. He was so bland!

Do not get the lobster roll! I usually try to be nice about food reviews, but it was just so bad.

Great update!

Thanks!!

 

[Caretames1]

OH YEAH BABY!! We’re IN!!!!!!!


I thanked her, and gave her a hug, told her she was the best CM ever! She laughed and told us to have a Magical time.

I was so excited; I forgot to take pictures until we got in line at Belles Enchanted Tales! LOL

But I made up for that quickly.

Well hello there you beautiful Castle you!

The line moved quickly as there were no crowds in the New Fantasy Land area. What a day we lucked into!

Soon we were inside the cottage,

Belle & her Mother

All the details were just so neat!

Soon the show started!

The Mirror starting glowing,

And opening!

And through it we stepped! How awesome was that!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Persistence paid off! I'm so happy that ya'll were finally let into the New Fantasyland area! We didn't go into Belle's cottage because the line was so long but now I'm wishing that we had waited. It looks so cute.

 

[Britard]

The cottage is so beautiful! It is so exciting that they let you in!

I know! I had had heard that if you asked nicely, a couple times (to the same CM) they may let you in during the AP preview, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try!

It was so awesome!

It was very well done, and the Mirror actually made me gasp inside! I can't even understand how it works but it was so neat!
