The "World" May Never Be The Same! *We're back!* *new 8/24*

Hi:goodvibes Just caught up on your two updates. I LOVE your scrapbook! It's wonderful! Where did you get all the matching Disney themed stuff?!? Beautiful!!!

I love Crystal Palace. It's so open and airy and bright. Your girls look so happy in the pictures~they're great pics btw:)

Can't wait to read more!
 
Your DW will most definately enjoy the glowing drinks! :thumbsup2

Soarin is exactly the same as in California except I think the oranges have a stronger smell in Florida and Florida definately loads slower! That line takes forever, even with a fast pass! :headache:

I did tell you all what Hippo got for Christmas - you'll have to go back and re-read! :rolleyes1

Hiya hiya hiya Sarah! My rounds of playing catch-up have made it back to your happy thread :woohoo:

Yes, she liked the glowing drinks ...and we even kept the cool blue glowing ice cubes ;-]

I agree about the lines for Soarin ...even with FP it took a bit. Still a fun ride though and my mom & MiL LOVED it!

Yes, yes ...made me do my homework - hippo got a pink leather collar with an engraved name tag on it ;)

Very cool scrapbook! I really liked the pages themed for attractions such as the Jungle Cruise ...I'll have to use that with my digital scrapbook :thumbsup2 You're making some great memories there :)

The lunch with Pooh & Friends looked like a lot of fun, great character interactions and I hadn't heard about the parade ...that's very cute :) The food sounded good to and it's hard to go wrong with a buffet. Well other than trying to get up and walk around after getting so stuffed :rotfl:

Can't wait to hear where y'all go next!
 

Hi, Sarah! Since people seem to be caught up. Are you working on an update? We miss them. :goodvibes
 
Chapter 18 - We’re Stuffed....Is That A Pirate I See?


Okay, I’ll admit it....I ate way more then I should have for lunch at Crystal Palace. It was just so nice and cool in there and I tend to be a grazer and can eat ridiculous amounts of food without even realizing it if I am in the mood to eat. And apparently I was.

Anyways....we rolled ourselves out of the restaurant and back out into the beautiful Florida sun.

We wanted to make our way over to the Jungle Cruise but on our way we ran into some friendly CMs who told us Captain Jack Sparrow was there and had no one waiting to see him.

Cool!

Lets go! Arg, I’m a pirate!

The CMs were right - we walked right in and met the man himself!

He was a hoot! The girls loved meeting him and he carried on with all the usual antics that you would expect a pirate to have.


First my pic

Then the Photopass one

Smile...or pose....either one works! mine

and then their’s

Then we had to do the family shot...

After our escape from the pirate we got back on track and headed to the Jungle Cruise only to find there was a 40 min line up!

Oh no!

We were about to leave when a kind stranger offered us fast passes!

Woohoo!

Thank you very much - made our day!

I love it when others spread the Disney Magic!

Went and rode Pirates again because well, we were right there and who doesn’t love a pirate.

Then we headed over to Small World.....

I know that is probably one of the most hated Disney ride but I love it!

Yes, call me corney but its Disney at its best!

Okay, not its best - but pretty darn good. Small World in Disneyland is so much better....

Anyways....a couple of pics just because I can!

IMG_7665.jpg


the hippy chicks

IMG_7686.jpg


and the hippo of course

IMG_7674.jpg



Then it was over to Big Thunder Mountain Railway.

IMG_7694.jpg



Stopped for a pic on the way

IMG_7664.jpg



Here we are in the line

IMG_7692.jpg


IMG_7693.jpg



Rode that and then we tried to cut over to somewhere but we were cut off by the parade.

Seems like now would be a good time to stop and watch it seeing as it has us trapped!

First the main mouse himself

IMG_7696.jpg



Then the brooms. I know, why did I take a pic of them? Because Tink was one of those dancing brooms for her first dance recital years ago. Not exactly what I had in mind for my daughter’s first recital - a broom - but she was. So I took the pic for her!

IMG_7698.jpg



And funny enough, she was Mary Poppins in the last recital!

IMG_7703.jpg



Then came the princesses

IMG_7699.jpg


IMG_7707.jpg


IMG_7710.jpg


IMG_7711.jpg



Then Pluto

IMG_7715.jpg



And finally Goofy

Great update!! I love the Captain Jack pictures!!! Next time we want to go see him. I always love the pictures of your family, you look so happy!! Thank you so much for updating, I can't wait to read more popcorn::.
 
Ahhhh, Great update. Sooooo cute. My girls are Jaq & Susie (the mice rom Cinderella) in an upcoming school play so I know we'll be on the lookout for them next time, despite never caring about them before! Being someone yourself changes your perspective, eh?
 
Another great update. Your family is so beautiful and you take such wonderful pictures, Sarah. One of my favorite TRs
 
I love the pics of Capn Jack and your family! We didn't get to see him in Sept...I love the way he really poses in character for all the pics!

Sounds like a good day was had by all!
 
Great update and pics. Lucky you got to meet Captain Jack ;) . He wasn't doing meet & Greets in October. I looked and asked several CM's but apparently it was a trail basis. But DD did get picked to be in the show so it's all good.

OMGosh, I am sooooo far behind on your TR its crazy:rolleyes1 . I have a lot of catching up to do on my part LOL. With 3 kids, homework for the 2 of them, homework for me since I went back to school and work, I don't have much time anymore. Are you planning another trip anytime soon? We are going back this August/September for a do-over trip:goodvibes . I sure hope its better this time around. Ok, off to read some of what I've missed before I head off to work. TTYL!!

Too bad you missed him but having your DD I'm sure made up for it!
