Awesome morning at MK! Pooh and Peter pan are 2 of my priorities this upcoming trip, I love them both and didn't get to go on either one the last trip. We have a 7:45am ADR at Kona Cafe that day so we should be to the park by rope Drop or shortly after I think.
It's funny, I just made an ADR earlier this evening (last night? looking at the time.. LOL) for Artist Point then I come on here and that's the next one for you! Can't wait to hear all about it.
It's coming! Eventually!
Pan and Pooh are really great rides, IMO. Not thrillers by any means, but very much "Disney".
Yeah! Another nilla Trip Report! It's like going on Netflix and discovering they loaded the next season of one of your favorite shows.
Ugh, the intermission about Kristin's broken foot last year hit home for me. Last November I broke my foot on the stairs too. Spiral fracture of the 5th metatarsal of my left foot. Not fun! Luckily it happened right after we returned home from Disney.
Ironing-ha. The only time I iron (maiden) is for our
Disney vacations. I actually look forward to it. For all non-Disney times of the year we are a rumpled mess.
Thanks for writing another Trip Report. We forgive you for not writing one last year. Maybe.
Debbie
Where have you been?
She pushed through the mostly-healed foot like a champ. I was impressed.
Thank you for reading, and an extra special thanks for your forgiveness! Wait, did you say "maybe"?
haha - yesterday we were walking out of BJs as someone was walking back in with a case of Bud Light explaining that it was defective. My thought was "well, yeah, it's Bud Light"
That would be the most obvious problem. It's like step 1 in the "troubleshooting" part of the manual.
ack! Behind a few updates!
Funny how you said you try to make yourself enjoy Dos Equis when you are at a Mexican restaurant - I feel the same way about when eating outside (especially Mexican) and Corona - try to make myself like it
that must have been a bit scary to see your son in the drivers seat of a car looking so natural
knowing you have an older photo of you lifting your daughter Lion King style to compare to makes it an even more awesome photo
Had similar experiences with FP+ and A&E getting one and throwing all the others off that mostly overlap, and it just gets super confusing. I think the fact they tried to make the site/process dummy proof just made it way more complicated when things don't work smoothly
But yeah for getting to skip the 3+ hour line!
I think the line for Peter Pan is long a lot is because it is a relatively low capacity ride - plus the unique ride track draws more people ... so higher interest, lower capacity = lines
I made up for you missing a few updates by taking forever to post this next update. But I have excuses at the bottom of this comment.
I always wonder if there isn't a better Mexican beer. Negra Modelo is ok. I believe they have that in bottles at CSR.
The site for FP+ is horrible, but I loved it inside the park. We were able to do some things online, however.
I think you nailed it for the Pan line!
Love the original Lion King photo! So cute!
Holy empty MK that morning! We have to try harder to make rope drop more often. My kids are like turtles in the morning, even with the promise of Disney excitement. We've made it to rope drop at MK once, and usually make it in to any of the parks by 9:30, but I love that early morning crowd!
Love Dylan's carousel picture. He looks thrilled.
Can't wait to see how A&E was, though you and Dylan got the better end of the stick with Splash, in my opinion.
And sorry you didn't get to ride the Mine Train. We have our FP+ for September 13th!
Everyone was in like for Elsa and Anna. Everyone. It was fantastic. CMs told us later that they were a big reason for shorter standby waits.
Dylan is the worst to get up, but we make it happen. He's ok by the time we reach the park.
More moping about the Mine Train to come!
Wow seeing all you have gotten done before 11:00 am makes me very happy I have rope drop mornings planned for September!
Really glad that Kristen and Emily were able to score Anna and Elsa fastpasses. Those things are like Gold now!!
It was amazing that they got them! Coming up next - they actually get to meet them!
Following along on your adventure and man, you guys packed a lot into just two hours! Can't wait to see what the rest of the day brings!!!
We tour hard
I don't know how I got so far behind.
Obviously, I can't respond to everything nor would I remember what I responded to in order to do that.
We enjoy doing American Adventure every year.
The photo of you and Emily in the Lion King pose had me
The picture of Emily and Kristin on the fountain the Mexico pavillion is by far my favorite picture of the TR thus far.
Nice picture of daddy in Em's sunglasses reflection while waiting for the Opening Show at MK.
Sorry....my husband has already applied for the Mayor's job.
Awesome job on the Hidden Mickey in the Peter Pan line.
You really did get a lot accomplished in a short time at the MK. This is why we ALWAYS try to do EMH's (you get even more done) or Rope Drop. Space Mountain twice at any other time is unheard of (just wish I could still do it...but we just don't get along anymore).
Okay...caught up unless you go on a rampage again and I miss some (I'll be gone Thursday night - Monday late afternoon so try not to get too carried away
).
The problem with EMHs is we stand around waiting for the official park opening when there is no official park opening. Other than that, they would be fantastic
The mayoral election this year will be interesting.
I think your husband would make a fantastic Mayor!
Let the mudslinging begin.
Great Update!!
I got super far behind due to summer school at LSU, but I'm glad I caught back up!
UGH that picture of the Pollo a las Rojas makes me so hungry! The shrimp and steak you and Kristen got look amazing as well!!
Can't wait for more!
I should've gotten that! Dylan didn't appreciate it.
Glad you're back!
Speaking of being back, I'm back from Boy Scout camp, back from
Musikfest (for now), and back to this Trip Report.
At least for tonight. Tomorrow is another story.
).
We got a better look at it later in the week. I want to ride, too!
