Miss Bunny and Mrs Incredible - Tuesday May 27, 2025 (part 12)​

We ended up ordering a Shirley Temple just so we'd have something sweet!

So much ice. But it was good.

After finishing up at the Lounge, we spent a little bit of time exploring the ship, cause we were right there.

You get some interesting views/perspectives!

No, we did not do the Titanic thing but I thought about it.

Monorail!

Our Indiana Jones fastpass was at 5:35, so we started heading that way. We'd also bought Peter Pan and Rapunzel fastpasses for the evening in Fantasy Springs, so it was gonna be a "back of the park" night.

But as we were passing Cape Cod, who did we run into?

Miss Bunny! Thumper was there too (you can see him in the background) but I'd already met Thumper, so Miss Bunny was the more exciting draw.

So cute!

Riding high off of that we kept walking and we passed the booth that sold the Donald shrimp life-preserver bun and there was NO LINE. Which was crazy. So of course we had to stop - I didn't want to eat it but I wanted to see it, and Trevor said it sounded good.

SO CUTE.


The packaging is just adorable. And Trevor said the bun was good too. It smelled too shrimpy for me so I didn't try it. But adorbs.

We kept walking back towards Indy and ran into more characters!

Mr Incredible was out, but he was mobbed - we didn't get his attention at all. But Mrs Incredible was also out, and after waiting a little bit, she picked me!

She saw my first visit sticker!

CharacterPalooza Continues - Tuesday May 27, 2025 (part 13)​

Selfie!

But then Edna Mode came over, and photobombed our selfie!

It was so fun to meet both at the same time, and they were just so excited about the first visit sticker. They also loved my ears.

So much fun - loved it! The only awkward bit was we had just bought the shrimp bun so we were juggling the bun and the soda we'd bought, but we made it work. Worth it!

We kept going and who did we find? Timon and Rafiki!


Back here (closer to Indy) there weren't very many people at all - it was awesome. And it's just so fun to wander around a corner and see characters out there meeting. Also the character attendant loved my Cinderella spirit jersey, and my ears - though people all day had been loving my ears, which made me feel good cause I also love them.

Ok at that point, time for Indy, with no more detours! We got the last row again, but that meant we could raise our hands without having to worry about blocking anyone.

Such a great ride.

We got off at 6:20ish, so off to Fantasy Springs we went! I noticed that Tinkerbell was over there right by Peter!

She's definitely a bit more subtle.

Over to Peter Pan we went:


Honestly I just love all the theming in Fantasy Springs - it's top notch.

Off to the Snuggly Duckling - Tuesday May 27, 2025 (part 14)​

More theming:

Wendy and John and Michael flying to Neverland!

Each ride vehicle has an awesome name - the Happy Snapper!


We had a great ride - I do wish this one had a bit more physical effects, but it's still an awesome ride. We had a bit of time until our Rapunzel fastpass, so it was time for dinner! Where?

The Snuggly Duckling!

So you remember how yesterday was basically a TON of photos of the theming inside the Royal Banquet Hall? The next several posts are just going to be of the awesome theming at the Snuggly Duckling - I think it's even better than the Frozen Royal Banquet Hall!



Brilliant.

Vladimir's ceramic unicorns!

As far as food, I got the burger and Trevor got the cheeseburger, as well as drinks, and the souvenir lunch case, and then the Sweet Ever After dessert, as well as the Vanilla Mousse, apple, and soda jellied dessert:

The burgers were...interesting. They both had a giant slab of ham/bologna/whatever on top of the burger, and I was like absolutely not, so I pulled that right off.

And there was cabbage? It was odd. The burger itself wasn't bad but the ham and the cabbage...just odd. Trevor said it was fine, just unnecessary ham. The fries were good, though I think they needed a bit more frying.

Rapunzel Theming is the Best - Tuesday May 27, 2025 (part 15)​

Then the Sweet Ever After dessert, as well as the Vanilla Mousse, apple, and soda jellied dessert:

This looked cuter than it tasted - it was cold, and would have been better warm. And oddly perfumy? Oh well. The jelly thing (the other dessert) was jelly with fruit in it, nothing super special.

So overall, the food was a miss - also there was a very very weird smell in there that was kind of making me nauseous, so we ate outside. Not sure what the smell was, maybe the ham? But it was weird. Not my favorite. Such a bummer about the food, cause again, the theming was just fantastic.


I so wanted to steal this tray.

The chairs!

After eating, we spent literally 20 minutes looking around and taking pictures of everything, cause it was amazing!

Pascal and Maximus!



This was my favorite poster - so cute!

But the rest of the posters were also amazing.


More of Vlad's ceramic unicorns!

THIS is the Last One - Tuesday May 27, 2025 (part 19)​

Unarmed and Desirous! LOL



Thug Punch LOL

Even in the bathroom - on every stall door they had a different Flynn Wanted poster.




And then we were heading out when Trevor was like "wait did you see..."

It's a sewing kit!

and more sewing accoutrements. So cute. I can't stand it.

That's pretty much all of it - and it's super cute. Don't eat there, just order a drink and enjoy the theming. Cause the theming is amazing.

For us though it was 7:30, and time to ride Rapunzel at night!

A Ride to Interrupt the Theming - Tuesday May 27, 2025 (part 20)​

Off we went over to Rapunzel - it was indeed gorgeous with all the lanterns lit up:

The ride itself is basically the same from day to night, since it's all inside after the initial scene, but you can't beat that lantern outside ambiance.

Then, the plan was to look in the Fantasy Springs store, but of course we passed Fantasy Springs on the way!



Just gorgeous, all of it. This picture I took because pretzels! If you are a long-time reader of my trip reports, you know that Trevor loves pretzels!

We did spend some time looking at the fountains at night:

Alice and the caterpillar!

A tea set!

Just so gorgeous.

Ok the next posts are gonna be of all the theming in the Fantasy Springs store, cause there were fewer people and I could take pictures of all of it. And there's SO much of it!



Not sure which princess this is themed to - it's flowers and dragonflies and the crown there? *shrugs*

 

[Araminta18]

Princess Theming! - Tuesday May 27, 2025 (part 21)​

The murals especially are gorgeous:

You can see Merida and Little Mermaid, and Moana and Sorcerer Mickey!

Belle's castle! And also Jasmine's palace, and Pocahontas, and I think Louis down there floating on the river on his back.


Belle and Little Mermaid theming!


Merida!


I love the model of the palace!


Tiana!


Snow White!


Cinderella and Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty! And Mulan and her father there under the cherry blossoms.


Cinderella!


Alice in Wonderland!

Fantasy Springs is the Best - Tuesday May 27, 2025 (part 22)​

And the theming continues.

Jasmine!


I think this is Sleeping Beauty cause the proclamation is signed by King Stefan but I can't help feeling that Sleeping Beauty got short shrift here. Not here crown? Nothing?



Rapunzel!


Neverland Map!


Mulan!


Maybe this is Sleeping Beauty with the bird? Not sure otherwise. *shrugs*

Gorgeous place - love it!

Mad Dash to the Mall - Tuesday May 27, 2025 (part 23)​

As we walked out, we saw the Peter Pan mountain all lit up:

The other thing we saw though, was the Roast Beef popcorn stand with NO LINE!

This thing always has a huge line, so when we saw no one in line, we of course had to jump in, just to try it.

It was GROSS. Nasty. Blech. 0/10 do not recommend. To be fair I guess it does taste like a sunday roast, but ewwwwww. Don't do it, not even for the novelty.


They'd already cut off the line for Busy Buggies, but we had another plan in mind. Trevor's allergies had been really bothering him (we couldn't figure out why) and while we normally carry benadryl with us, we hadn't stocked up before we left so he was rationing his benadryl, which was not great. But we saw that there was a pharmacy in Ikspiari, so the plan was to try and get over there before 9 pm when it closed, to get some benadryl equivalent at the pharmacy. But since we weren't staying at Fantasy Springs hotel (yet ) we couldn't exit out that way to get on the monorail - we had to hoof it to the front of the park and catch the monorail from there.

So off we went, snatching some nighttime park pictures on the way -

We did have a late night fastpass for Raging Spirits but it was more important to try and get to the pharmacy to get Trevor is allergy pills.

Sparkly and pretty at night!

We made it to the pharmacy at 8:45, and found a couple different types of allergy meds (we'd been doing a lot of googling to figure out the benadryl equivalent ). Phew! We even had a few minutes to spare to blitz through the Disney store there at Ikspiari - I definitely grabbed a few things though they were definitely closing right at 9.

Back to the room we went, and I'll leave you with one last Miracosta pajama picture:

Tomorrow we were switching rooms - off to the Fantasy Springs hotel!!
