The ABCs of a Very Merry Christmastime Land and Sea Adventure-R is for: Second Half of A Superb Day at MK (6/15)

Great MK day! You enjoyed a full circle of fhe park and many attractions!
I really like the new County Bears! I look at it as a way to tap my foot and enjoy a little air con!
We have had nice meals at Tony’s lately! The garlic bread and salad have been a favorite for us!

I hit everything I really wanted to. My feet were calling it quits, and while I def had time to either park hop or go to DTD, I really just wanted some rest.

There are definitely mixed reviews of CBJ now. LOL! I liked the old soundtrack as it was originally tunes, not just re-makes of new Disney movie soundtracks.

Sadly, the dining scene at MK just really misses it in general. The few TS places there are aren't great- adequate, but not top notch. Skippers is a nice addition for sure, and Tony's has improved over the last decade, but everything else is really lackluster. I will say, I've never tried the Castle, but usually stay well away from character meals ($$$$$$$$$). I hear, though, that the food is really very good. GF and Contemp are so close that it's easy to get a really GOOD meal there.

Because Tiana’s was new to me, I went a little crazy and WAY overboard with photos. I’m very late to the picture posting party with this one, but here are my contributions anyway. (More commentary after the (too many) photos.

I'm glad to see your pictures of Tiana. My sister and I breezed through this line, and I think I missed a lot of it.

I think the best-done parts of Tiana’s Adventure are the queue and the swamp bits right after the first drop. After that, meh. I dunno, “let’s find some musicians” seems like such a vanilla storyline comparatively.

I agree. Most of the ride is really boring.

By the time I was on this trip, the announcement had been made that Tom Sawyers Island, the Liberty Belle, and the Rivers of America itself was doomed to “progress” I made sure to catch at least one last spin around the circuit. I won’t lie that didn’t make me sad and that I’m pretty salty about this in general. Like… WHY?!

I dragged my sister and sister-in-law through Tom Sawyer's Island because it would soon be gone. My sister-in-law as not impressed. I think it is fun and will be sorry to see it go. But I think the replacements will be really exciting if it is anything like what they have in Disneyland.

The re-make gets a resounding thumbs down from me. It’s NOT new material, but rather it’s a mash-up of Disney’s pop culture songs re-arranged in a country twang.

I like it. I'm not a fan of country western but the show is called "country" bears. And it needed to be refreshed.
