Seeing FOTLK is always a good choice. Camp Minnie Mickey is so cute decorated for Christmas.

It is one of my must do's every trip now.

I hopefully will be able to catch the trees this year.

I remember seeing those trees that Magdalene mentioned to you, they are very cute!

So prior to this viewing of FOTLK you didn't have a favorite tumble monkey? This is a historic moment!

That last pic is hilarious!!!!

 

[Flossbolna]

I am way behind on updates (once again... ) I really love how you and your friends had so much fun taking pictures! I never noticed these cut out ones and they did a wonderful job in making the right faces for them!

I think the one tree you have a picture of from Camp Minnie & Mickey is actually one of those character trees, to me it looks like Chip&Dale's tree - who else would put all these huge acorns on their tree?

A shovel vs shovel duel.

i think i would win the shovel duel, as i am a seasoned veteran with the shovel, more snow falls under my belt than old marvy boy.

and i think oyur force smiley scarred him away, either that or my offer to go to a cubs game with him.

he hasnt been around these parts in a while.

I have added those tress to my must see Christmas list.

I have always enjoyed watching the monkeys. At some point ( I think this trip) I actually started watching the personalities too. "My" monkey seems to enjoy what he does, and is good at his job. The fact that he is not hard to watch is a plus.

We do have a lot of fun together. Those cut outs are right by the path to camp Minnie Mickey, on the left side as you go down the path. There is ameet and greet area and the DVC kiosk so that area is a little busy.

We have no shame when it comes to being goofy.

I think the one tree you have a picture of from Camp Minnie & Mickey is actually one of those character trees, to me it looks like Chip&Dale's tree - who else would put all these huge acorns on their tree?

You are probably right. That tree was not near their meet and greet area so I am not sure. After the FOLK it was the mass exodus out of that area so we did not have the opportunity to look around more. Now I know to look for more trees.

Maybe he is working on an update?


ETA ; Holy Cow - he actually did one!!!!

Tumble monkeys.

Hmmn. I'm just not quite sure what that says!

Your "B" picture peeking through the bushes reminds me of the time Rosie was skulking in the bushes spying on Jordan at Petals.

Getting good pix at FoLK was exceptionally difficult! And I wasn't even looking for a certain Tumble Monkey...

Oh my goodness, too funny. At least "B" didn't fall INTO the bushes.

A barrel of fun!!!!

That tiger would have gotten her!

The tumble monkeys were now a memory and we were done making fools of ourselves so where do we go?



We are making our way to Asia. I snap some pictures as we pass more decorations.

We get to the EE photpass.

I thought this was appropriate.

A little magic.

After we were done with the FP we notice this GUY.

The woman and child are giving me an odd look but I was shooting at the guy in the back.
Looks like Santa is enjoying Disney World.

We are heading to use our EE FP.

Now you can tell that it was getting warm. We had shed our sweatshirts. We notice this girl in line and man either she is a native Floridian or gets chilly easily.

She may be a DISer judging by the green bag?

Next up- Do they enjoy the ride?

That Yeti is so scary looking! Yikes!


Those are great pix of you and the ladies. You guys are having too much fun!!

Seriously! boots and a coat, and you are all in T-shirts? Wow!

 

[MeMom]

I can picture myself walk in there right now.
Wonder what I will buy?

Looking forward to seeing what happens when you meet up with the Yeti!

We had a great PP near EE. He took time and talked with us and let us figure out how we wnated to pose etc. I learned to just ask about the "magic " psoes and for anything different. It gets boring just standing there.

Yeah, that lady was way overdressed for that day.

It is so cold here today. I cannot get warm. It was spring-like just 2 days ago.

I wish I could shop with you today. At least it has to be warmer.

Pat! Your trip with the girls look like so much fun!! I didn't realize you made yet another trip!!! I was looking through the threads I'm subscribed to and wanted to try and start making my way through them to catch up and found you went yet again!!! Way to go girl!

Y'all look like your having the time of your lives. I know it's a blast to go to these places alone and with our family but something about going with people who've not been or have been but didn't know how to navigate the...Wonderful World of Walt Disney who find out there's so much more to it then they once thought!

It's so much fun to go with people who also think your amazing because you know so much about these places. Well that is unless you've forgotten where the bathrooms are.
I've been with someone who had been a long while back and didn't know what she was doing since she didn't bother to research it (something that has always amazed me about people and going here-if your going to spend all that money to go I think it's important to make that money work for you), so of course everything I knew to do was just amazing to her, she said she would love to go with me any time because I knew all the right rides to go on and where to go next and everything I picked was so much fun. <---read insert

We all learn something new when we go back, huh? You found out there were bathrooms that are silly and small for a place that holds thousands of people everyday. Who knew! I still have my most favorite bathroom in all of EPCOT, it happened to also be the place Jordan mentioned on his report, it's almost always clean and almost always no people in it, it's to the side of the Imagination building, all the way to the far right of it. I remember walking to it the first time I went in and thinking this could be potentially dangerous since not a lot of people walk back here and if someone wanted to mess with you this would be the place to do it, I know because I walked back there and walked back out of there so I could go and tell my DH where I would be! Hey! You can never be to sure about your safety you know, but then I realized there were plenty of CM walking in and out of the area next to it.

I'm so excited you went with some good friends and were having the time of your lives!! I can't wait to hear more!!

I figured I would chronicle the whole "side effect" so you will have to bear with me for the "year of the annual pass" YOAP.

It was so much fun to go with the girls. They were really first timers even though they had been in the parks before, either they don't remember it or they only visited one park for 1/2 a day.
I had so much fun using my "Disney" knowledge and having such good luck in the planning dept.

That is how I found the Dis. I was doing research for a trip, I think I was finding which resorts had the pullout sicne my kids do not share a bed.

We had so many amazing moments and I told them everytime we did so if we ever went back and we had bad luck I would be covered.

I love that bathroom. The first time I thought I was wandering into a restricted area but then found the bathroom.
I learned something new every trip so far.

 

[brookelizabeth]

Your pictures are making me ache for a Christmas trip again. I think I will talk to DH seriously about just even reserving a room...we have got to do it NOW if we want it. I bet I could sway him in a second if I could secure AKL Conceriage level.

That Santa Claus guy reminds me of Pumpkin Man from various reports, but Santa has much more style than Pumpkin Man!

Pat, another great update! Whenever I see someone with something in lime green in the parks, I am always wondering wether they are from the DIS but never dare to ask thinking that I might look like a total fool if they aren't and just think that lime green is a cool colour (however, I would then have to question their taste...). I only ever saw one person with a lime green Mickey head!

I love that bathroom, too! Katharina and I found it on our trip and just as you said, it felt like you aren't really in the parks anymore!

Who knew that there are so many who love this bathroom! It must be Disney's best kept secret! As compared to the one that they advertise everywhere around the parks...

This was the first case of me posting, the dis giving me grief and then it was WAS NOT here.

Do it Do it Do it Do it

It would be so great for me to "correct a worng" by not meeting you on NYE.

I have seen the Pumpkin man in several other TR. Between that guy and the guy with the shoes, I am beginning to wonder if they were togher.
