Love rope drop at MK! Don't love crowded buses or kicking kids. GRRRR!

Thanks for the introduction to New Fantastyland! Nice job getting to LM first

You have some great pictures without crowds of people. Gaston's Tavern looks so cool.

I hope Caitlin meets Gaston and tells him he belongs with Belle. Or her!

Me too! The crowded buses were a constant thing at AoA and not fun!

Thanks but my calves were killing me after that walk

Gaston's is very cool. We never did see him though which was kind of disappointing. As for Caitlin, she dated a lot of Gaston's before she married her prince

I love seeing empty Magic Kingdom pictures. It's just so peaceful first thing in the morning. New Fantasyland looks sooooooo pretty! I cannot wait to see it. How was Village Gifts - was there B&B specific items that you cannot find anywhere else?

I love the parks before all the crowds arrive too!
New Fantasyland is very pretty.
The whole store is pretty much BB stuff and most of it seemed unique to the area.

Great update. We only had a quick walk-through of the new Fantasyland in March. Can't wait to get back in July to take some time and see it properly.

Time for another update! I thought I would post one today because I have been super busy again and I am not sure when I will get a moment of peace again! I am still job hunting but really enjoying being an ESL tutor. The major change around these parts is we got another puppy I am used to having two-three dogs and our dog Nola was pretty lonely So we found this woman who had rescued two puppies from a field in Louisiana and once we met Rosie we fell in love!



The woman said she thought she was a miniature schnauser but after taking her to the vet to have her treated for a tape worm we are thinking she won't be so mini. 13 pounds at 4 months

Also this week Andrew and I will be going to New Orleans for a little getaway so I am very excited for that

Back to the trip report though when we left off we had finished experiencing New Fantasyland. Pretty amazing and we haven't even gotten to my favorite part of it yet


The crowds were moving in so it was time for me to experience another new area in Disney the Storybook Circus!

On our way over we passed the Tea Cups and that was when I realized they had changed the construction walls to fit with the rides near each area




I also got a construction photo



Finally we were at the Storybook Circus!



It was open when we went in October but I never made it over



I love this area!




I had to hit up the new Dumbo!




Isn't it gorgeous?!













I, of course being the grown up 22 year old, had to check out the play area
























Such a fun and well thought out area! It amazes me sometimes how Disney brings these stories to life!

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

The wait was a little long but not bad the only thing I didn't like was the family in front of me. The little boy kept grabbing my purse or my leg and the family really didn't seem to care. I did though! I kindly stepped away and tried keeping my distance!











Finally it was time for me to climb aboard Dumbo!









The little pictures on the ride were so beautiful!









Great view of the Castle!


I had noticed this while on the ride so once I was off I needed to get a picture



I just love that saying!

Next it was time to check out the store!



I wish I could have had one of those!

I would actually take one of each



Not really much of a sweets person but now that I cant eat a majority of sweets I have a sweet tooth

Next I was super excited to see the new character meet and greet area!



Of course we chose the boys!



This area is just too cool!






This meet and greet with Goofy was the best one ever! Mom had made me an autograph book with pictures of me and the characters in them from past trips.



Goofy took his time looking through the pages and once he got to the Star Wars one he pointed to Chewbaca and made a sign that he smelled and then when we he saw Darth Vadar he did the force chokehold on me. It was pretty amazing! He also saw a pic of Andrew and I and asked where he was. He asked if he was sleeping and I said no he is at home working. Well Goofy decided that since Andrew wasn't there and he was he would be my husband



We do make a cute couple!


Next up was Donald! When I got over there he had hypnotized himself by staring at the Snakes eyes and he needed a beautiful woman to kiss him and wake him up. Since Mom felt bad cheating on dad like that I had to kiss him

After he woke up I had him sign the autograph book and he flipped through it as well

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

Then we took a picture



After I was done cheating on my husband with cartoon characters we headed to the splash area.







Such a cute area again! I was so impressed by the new additions!



We discussed taking the train up to the front but decided against it



Instead we walked.















Once out of the park it was time for us to decide where to go next



I will leave you at the boat dock for now and Mom can fill you in next time!

The new Dumbo area is just so pretty, and I love it even more at night! We've not checked out the play area, but that looks pretty cool as well.

I love pics of park balloons, too - especially the classic Mickey ones. I'd love to have a whole bunch of them!

It's a dreary day here, so thanks for sharing some WDW sunshine and magic!

Hi ladies! Not caught up yet, but I love several of those pictures in your last update - the castle shot, the balloons (one of my favorite things to photograph), and Dumbo through the trees.

I also love your cute little T-shirt.

What a fun update. Storybook circus in the morning is definitely the way to go.

Hope to get caught up soon.

Your new puppy baby is adorable. How lovely that you choose a rescue. All my cat babies are rescue and I definitely think its the way to go.

The Dumbo area is so cute! I did see it last June at night and the colors look gorgeous all lit up. I didn't ride it then so I am hoping to get onto this fall. Also looking forward to seeing the inside of the Big Top.

I know we checked it out at night too! The play area is very cute I only checked it out because I knew I needed to get pictures of it!

Thank you!

Anytime!

Thank you! I got tons of compliments on my tank tops throughout the week

It was very quiet over there first thing!

Thank you! All of our dogs except one throughout my life has come from a humane society so I always believe in saving a pet

Awesome update!

 

[MagicShell]

Loved your update. I really liked the circus area too. We didn't see the meet and greet part though. I love Donald. The Big Top shop was great, we stayed in there a long time.

Your puppy is cute. How big do you think she will get?
