Flat Ben cuddles with Dumbo

Loving the Dream Along with Mickey show

Really hoping this thing doesn't ring!

(Flat) Benny's Got a Gun!
in the Pirates of the Caribbean queue

Flat Ben had a great time playing Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom

Tiana and especially Prince Naveen got a kick out of meeting Flat Ben.

Flat Ben loved, loved, loved the Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert Party. They had to cut the boy off at two bowls of ice cream. According to Anjie, everything was wonderful and everyone went back for seconds.

Enjoy that bite Flat Ben. You are done!

Love the first shot. Captures all the anticipation of that first castle sighting.


And of course, like all boys, Flat Ben cannot go near POC without stopping at the guns.

Doesn't the castle look small in comparison to Flat Ben?

Flat Ben takes after real Ben- they both love those gun racks!

Sunday Oct 21

You will notice a new model of Flat Ben in the following pictures taken at Islands of Adventure.

Meet "Flat Harry Ben"

Time for a surrey ride:

Rogue and Storm

Spidey thinks Flat Ben is alright!

Capt America

Cyclops is pouting when he learns that real Ben didn't get to go on vacation.
Then he says "Don't post this on Facebook. I shouldn't be pouting!"
But he didn't say anything about the DIS!

A kiss from Betty Boop!

You need a helmet to ride that 4-wheeler, Flat Ben!

You Bet!


Next up: Toon Lagoon and Welcome to Jurassic Park!

 

[natebenma]

Marmaduke, NO!!!

Flat Harry Ben is ready, equipped with his custom-made poncho, for Ripsaw Falls.

The girls wish they had ponchos, too. Only Flat Harry Ben did not get soaked on this ride.

I Yam What I Yam:

Dressed in his poncho and ready to go on Bilge Rat Barges (think Kali River Rapids, but wetter)

Me Ship, The Olive- this is a play structure for little ones. But there are attractions for bigger folk, too! Kids can shoot water canons at riders below on the raft ride. And adults can take in spectacular views of the park!

I eats me spinach!

Maybe not quite this much!!!

Now that's what I call lunch!!!

 

[jenseib]

He really is getting around ...and has so much fun. I Ben is jealous.

Speaking of getting around... Flat Ben is on his way to your house.

Just finished an Alaskan cruise and planning our next vacay!

 

[natebenma]

Have a great trip!!!

Very interesting reading.

Thanks!

Just finished an Alaskan cruise and planning our next vacay!

Sounds exciting! What are some ideas for the next trip?

 

[natebenma]

Use your wand! He's right behind you!

Flat Harry-Ben must taste good!

At least this one is only bones.

Doing a Data Scan.

Hmmm. Dino and Flat Harry-Ben combo of DNA?

Not sure if my hand is quite large enough!

Hope this doesn't hurt!

Stay away from the eggs!

Where are these things coming from???

Next Up: Flat in the Hat

 

[natebenma]

Unless...

I hope Flat Harry-Ben enjoys the High in the Sky Trolley more than real Ben (and his brother) did:

I'll also hijack my own trip report (can you do that) to post my very favorite installment I ever wrote for a trip report. From my Welcome Foolish Muggles report,

Oh, the Places we Didn't Go!


A couple from The Lost Continent:

Next up: "You're a Wizard, Flat Harry-Ben"

 

[jenseib]

run flat Ben. dinosaurs are BAD!!!!!

 

[JanetMom]

My thoughts of the day...

I don't like the name "Flat Harry-Ben" because every time I read it I hear "Flat Hairy Ben" and it creeps me out a bit.

I LOVE the title "Flat in the Hat".

And, as I'm sure you knew... Love the picture of your real boys riding the trolley and displaying their thoughts for all to see.

 

[Ninja Mom]

.... Flat in the Hat!!!

Dee, Can I just tell you how much I enjoy all of your efforts to bring us these trip reports! Also, thank you to all of the folks that you have recruited to take Flat Ben along on their trips. Everyone is doing such a great job!!

Flat Ben has arrived at our household this weekend. He is excited to get traveling, but I told him he still has to wait.

Yeah, same thought as I type Flat Harry-Ben. I'll use abbreviations from now on. FHB.

Yup, knew that you would appreciate the picture of my boys on the trolley.

Thanks so much for your kind words of encouragement. I can't believe how busy Flat Ben is! I still have TONS of pictures to post from AnjieNet's trip, and I don't even have them all yet, and he has two more in the hopper, plus a bonus cruise.

I agree- everyone is blowing me away with their humor and creativity!

Flat Ben has arrived at our household this weekend. He is excited to get traveling, but I told him he still has to wait.

I'll get to a new update as soon as I can, hopefully in the next day or two.
