We took the kids to WDW! - All done, Now Bonus features! Festival of Holidays 2/23

[franandaj]

"Okay... I've got twenty minutes to do all of Magic Kingdom.... Go!"

At Disneyland that wouldn't even get us down Main Street. After we get through security:

Fran: Do you mind if we stop in the Disneyana shop?
Me: Of course not. (silently rolling eyes)

I go through the shop and look at everything in the cabinets and on the walls.

Me: I'll be waiting outside the store. (Playing around on phone for unspecified amount of time)

Fran emerges carrying nothing

Me: You didn't buy anything? (astonished)
Fran: Oh I did, they're holding it for me so that we can pick it up on the way out.
Me: Are we going to need a dolly?
Fran: Probably not, well maybe, we'll make it work.



Then I go on rides while she reads a book on her tablet.

Actually it's a combination of not wanting to be tied down/having done some "must dos" last couple trips/not feeling like tying myself down to particular times.

I can sort of understand that. I'm a structure kind of person, and like to know how things are going to work out, so I enjoy having ADRs. You'll see in the coming updates, that that whole process goes out the window. (That was kind of a Hint for some of the upcoming questions)

That's not to say that if I had free dining, I wouldn't have booked more.

Well, of course!

Not at all! I don't mind it one little bit.
Well, except for the long lines. I refuse to stand in long lines.
And drunk people in public. Can't stand them either.
But other than that!!!

All righty then, you're all set!

Too bad.

I know. Now we'll have to plan a trip back to Canada. Fran gets better, but not "go to the Keg for dinner" better.

Understood that you won't be coming to the park early. We WILL be coming from AKL. It occurred to me after my last post that this is also our "change rooms" day. (We are in a value room at Jambo until Wednesday, then switching to a standard at Kidani on this day.) So we will definitely head back to the room, but probably not until late afternoon,

When you and I speak we need to use actual hours and not vague words like "early". As I read your post I realize that for you early probably means "rope drop". For me early to Epcot means "just before the kiosks open".

So we will probably be at the park until 3 or 4 PM - somewhat dependent on when our room is ready, so hopefully that is late enough that you will be getting into the park before then.

I'm guessing we will arrive at just before 11AM and go until around 3-4PM if we make it that long. 3PM would probably be a perfect quitting time. Then we could go back to the room, rest until 5PM and head out for my next DISmeet which will be at 6PM in Norway.

Definitely you can text us as you are heading into the park. I am not sure if we will be at rope drop but I expect we will be fairly early into the park, but I think will be in future world for a while before heading into World Showcase for lunch / snacking.

Now I see you aren't sure about rope drop. Still I'm sure you'll be in Future World before World Showcase opens. When we move we are lucky if we are ready to move out of the room by 11AM check out time, so I admire you!

then probably take a taxi/uber back to Yacht Club for the evening of Illuminations.

That sounds fun. If I hadn't already made plans, I would have taken you up on the cruise.

That might work out. We're planning on hitting EMH that morning as well as trying to get all of rides out the way early. That way I don't have to worry about drinking and riding. We'll finalize more as it gets closer.

I really need to start thinking about my FP+ selections. If I can get my butt out of bed that morning, I might go try and ride Test Track a couple times. I want to ride the new Frozen ride, but might have to wait towards the end of my stay to get that. If you make it for EMH, you'll have three hours before WS opens to ride stuff.

Oh really? We've never had trouble but we tend to buy for multiple trips at once (vacays, camping, trips to see family, etc.)

We did it just for WDW because if we drive anywhere Fran is more than happy to buy full size anything. She doesn't mind taking too much everywhere we go, because she has her own personal valet to transport it all for her.

I'm sure I'll just drive over, with the boys I can't stay away overnight. I'll be there several days that week. I need to catch friends Peggy and George as well. Christine, the friend that isn't coming now, was going to be staying with me, so this makes things much more flexible for me.

I understand, we don't like to leave the kitties. That's a lot of driving though, 3 hours a day!

Are you going to catch the Jungle Book show at AK? I saw it a couple weekends ago and absolutely loved it.

I had no idea about this. I guess I have more research to do. All I've looked at are the F&W Festival offerings.

 

[franandaj]

Bloody hell I did it again

You Canadians crack me up! We are binge watching a Canadian show on Netflix, it's a Police Dramedy set at the turn of the last Century, and the Head Constable is always saying, "Bloody Hell!" But I didn't know that folks still said it!

oops she did it again...

 

[franandaj]

Day 9

Today was another planned leisurely day in the morning and this time no one voted me out of it. I made the rest of the bacon and fixed us up some French Toast.



After breakfast Fran went back to the bedroom to lay down, Jim and I started working with our pictures. We kept sharing our pictures every day. He cleaned off his memory cards at the end of every day, but he would copy them to a memory stick for me and then once I copied them to my computer, I would copy my pictures for him. That way each of us had copies of each other’s pictures. Alberto kept falling asleep on the couch sitting upright.



Fran started to have cabin fever and was very frustrated that we weren't doing anything. So I wrapped up the picture exchange and we headed out to Disney Springs.



Two buses to Disney Springs pulled up as we were on approach and we were able to catch one of them before it took off! Maybe our luck was finally starting to turn around.

Once at DS she wanted to visit the Galactic Empire shop. It was May 5th. She had given up on going early to DHS on “May the 4th be with you” day. Partly due to the rain, but also sanity had kicked in and she realized that running around like a crazy person was, well crazy!

When we got to the store they still had shirts from May the 4th and Revenge of the 5th. We got the T-shirts. They also had the cutest BB8 dress, but they didn't have it in my size. I hope by the time you're reading this we have ordered it online and already received it. Well what do you know? I have two of them now!

We also took a look in the Harley Store (we always do), however, we’ve bought stuff here before, and I am starting to get more selective with the T-shirts that I buy. It is only cold enough for T-shirts in So Cal for 3-4 months out of the year. I could literally go several years without having to wash my T-shirts, as I have that many. Tank tops are another story as those are something I wear 8-9 months out of the year, alas Harley Davidson does not make clothing for women with robust figures.

I took these pictures for @Steppesister Liesa. I’m sure you already know this now, but you’ll have to plan a return trip for this location.







They had taken down some of the construction fences and we got our first glimpse at what I suppose is the Springs part of Disney Springs.





We stopped for lunch at Cooke's of Dublin. We ordered a kids meal of fish and chips. It was a small piece of fish to start with but I guess we couldn’t wait.



And some Onion rings, which have got to be one of the best deals on property, for $5 you get a ton of them!



We called Jim and told him we'd meet them at MK. Then we took a spin through WoD without purchasing anything!

All that shopping made us thirsty so we stopped for Margaritas.



We knew from our stay back in December that there was a bus stop not too far away, as that had been the stop for our room. It really was a convenient location for Disney Springs! We ended up having to chug our margaritas as the bus came soon after we arrived at the bus stop.



Jim and Alberto beat us to the MK. They had already been to first aid, where Jim was putting more band aids on his blisters. When I got there, they were nowhere to be found. I called Jim and Alberto answered. When I asked where they were, he told me they were listening to a Mariachi band. Turns out it was the Main Street Philharmonic marching band. He is so funny with his take on English, he made us laugh every day on at least one or more occasions.

When the band finished we were well into our FP time, so we headed to PotC.

This is so far my best attempt at capturing the water projection near the start of the ride.

[Continued from Previous Post]

None of us had seen the Country Bears in years as its been gone from California for 15 years. We knew that the only wait would be for the next show. That was our next stop. I wanted a picture of these pictures on the wall, but this girl just wouldn’t sit down or move. The. Whole. Time.



Finally we were let into the theatre.







And then the show started. For those of you who haven’t seen it in a while, it was quite nostalgic, not that I recommend seeing it often or every trip, it was kind of fun to see it again.



























It was very nostalgic. I mean after all this was one of Walt’s attractions.

Then as we were off to our next FP we ran into a Flash Mob or as Fran called it, a "Flash Mouse".











After our little encounter we headed over to Fantasyland to use our FP+ for the Seven Dwarves.



[Continued in Next Post]

 

[franandaj]

[Continued from Previous Post]

Again Jim and I were the only ones who wanted to ride the 7DMT, and we had enough FP that we could have gone a second time, but "end of vacation tiredness" must have been kicking in because I didn't feel like riding again, and Jim told me that his vertigo was acting up so he didn't want to go either.





























Fran went to Gaston's and picked up a pair of cinnamon rolls. Instead of riding a second time we walked down to Gaston's as Jim hadn't seen that part of Fantasyland. We got a PP pic and then checked in for dinner.





We were seated in the ballroom.



I snapped this shot of the dessert cart as we walked by.



Dana wasn't allowed to come out and say "Hi", but she asked me to text her our server's name and she would make sure we got something special for our dessert.















Ambience Shot.



They brought us some bread and butter.





We ordered the onion soup and leek and potato soup. Fran ate the leek and potato soup.



The onion was so good and filled with cheesy goodness!



[Continued in Next Post]

 

[franandaj]

[Continued from Previous Post]

The Beast is in the room where you place your order for lunch doing photo ops, but he has to take breaks every so often, here was going back to his post.





Fran and I split the lamb. My lamb was delicious and it came with a layered potato that was just wonderful!



Jim got the pork, he let me taste it. Very good and tender. I would have ordered it but it came with cauliflower puree and it don't like that.



Alberto got the ratatouille.



Alberto and I got the lemon cupcakes and Jim and Fran got chocolate eclairs. We all split "the grey stuff". Isn't the presentation beautiful? This is what Dana did for me!













Before we went to meet the Beast, I checked out the West Wing.









Then we met the Beast.

[franandaj]

[Continued from Previous Post]

Fran went back to the room while the rest of us used our FP to see the MSEP. I'm so glad we saw this in the MK as it will be leaving before I get back. Yes, it's coming to DL, but it's nice to see it there. I'm sure we'll be seeing it at DL.



























































When we got back to the resort, they went "their way" which they argued was faster, while I went "my way". The fireworks were just beginning, so I hightailed it back and caught the last half of the show on the balcony with a glass of wine. I got back to the room at 10:05. Afterwards I started writing up this TR. I added the pictures and completed all the introductions, so it would be all ready to go when I got home. After my last bath I turned in for the night.


Contest!!!!!!!


1. What do we have for breakfast the next morning?

Good catch! When you changed your answer from O'hana to Be Our Guest you got 10 more points. I fixed it everywhere but there. I made the changes to the post, so you're good!

Great update!


How cute is Alberto all cuddled up/slumped overrun the couch?! Adorable!

What a sweet treat from your friend Dana. LOVE!

Dinner looks divine.

Real butter on the breakfast table. A girl after my own my heart.

MSEP. My favorite Disney parade ever.

I really need to start thinking about my FP+ selections. If I can get my butt out of bed that morning, I might go try and ride Test Track a couple times.

I think we may skip Frozen this time. I'm just not all that impressed with it. 3 hours should give us enough time to hit the major rides then.

We did it just for WDW because if we drive anywhere Fran is more than happy to buy full size anything. She doesn't mind taking too much everywhere we go, because she has her own personal valet to transport it all for her.

This looks like it will be really pretty!

I always got a kick out of this guy with the hairy leg! Love Disney for their Attention to Detail.

Fun pic! I loved that ride, not comfortable for bigger people but a fun ride!

Great picture!

What a sweet thing your friend did for your dessert! Everything looks yummy too! I really liked our dinner at BOG. I want to try that pork next time we go. I had the shrimp and scallops in a puff pastry, it was really good, they don't serve it in the pastry anymore, though. The strawberry cupcake is really good there too.

Beautiful shot!! All your MSEP pics turned put good, Mine never do. I am not regretting not making more of an effort to see it on our last 2 trips there now that it is leaving.

I'll be more specific. I think we'll arrive at the park sometime between 9 and 10 am, maybe not quite rope drop, but it will depend on how much we have left to do in future world. I am thinking we will head over to world showcase around 12-1 pm, which would be somewhat dependent on when you text us. We would stick around until probably 3 or 4 pm, again depending on our room being ready.

What a sweet treat from your friend Dana. LOVE!

Dinner looks divine.

It was a very nice meal, but I think I'm over Be Our Guest for a while.

Real butter on the breakfast table. A girl after my own my heart.

What else do you put on French Toast? Certainly not some kind of butter substitute!

MSEP. My favorite Disney parade ever.

It's coming home again!

I think we may skip Frozen this time. I'm just not all that impressed with it. 3 hours should give us enough time to hit the major rides then.

Have you been on the ride before?

Haha! I'm the total opposite. Take as little as possible is my motto!

That would be my motto too, but I've learned to pick my own battles. Even if I tried to take less, she would find a way to buy more!

I never really saw it until the last few years. I couldn't get over the "so called" music, but now that I'm into photography again, it's fun to photograph. I too was impressed with your guess on the time!

I love watching Murdoch Mysteries - it is one of my favourite shows. The Head Constable is actually from England so I am sure he is used to saying that. I read that the actors have to practice and practice to ensure that they keep in character. I love how they sneak in true facts.

Have you been on the ride before?

No, but I've watched the ride through on YouTube. It looks kind of neat but not enough to me to either fight for FP or stand in line for 3 hours. I'd rather be eating my way around the world. You know, priorities.

 

[franandaj]

This looks like it will be really pretty!

From what I could see, it was nice. I hope to see more of it on the upcoming trip.

I always got a kick out of this guy with the hairy leg! Love Disney for their Attention to Detail.

I never even noticed his leg was hairy! But I do love the attention the attention to detail. The kitty cats are one of my favorite parts.

Fun pic! I loved that ride, not comfortable for bigger people but a fun ride!

I can barely fit comfortably, which is why I haven't pushed it with Fran. Instead I just use her FP to go on the ride.

Great picture!

Thanks!

Beautiful shot!! All your MSEP pics turned put good, Mine never do. I am not regretting not making more of an effort to see it on our last 2 trips there now that it is leaving.

Thanks! I've been working on my dark photography skills.

I'll be more specific. I think we'll arrive at the park sometime between 9 and 10 am, maybe not quite rope drop, but it will depend on how much we have left to do in future world. I am thinking we will head over to world showcase around 12-1 pm, which would be somewhat dependent on when you text us. We would stick around until probably 3 or 4 pm, again depending on our room being ready.

It will also depend on how lucky I am at getting a Frozen FP+. I have a feeling that it will be difficult this early in my trip, so I may concentrate them all either in the morning or possibly in the afternoon and then let Fran go back to the room. I'll be able to speculate later on this in about a week.

I love watching Murdoch Mysteries - it is one of my favourite shows. The Head Constable is actually from England so I am sure he is used to saying that. I read that the actors have to practice and practice to ensure that they keep in character. I love how they sneak in true facts.

I really like this show. It's so cute and funny while being topical and thought provoking. We have been watching about 5 episodes a day or so. I still have about 60 episodes to catch up on before I'm actually caught up. It was so funny on an episode that we saw recently, there was this exchange that made me laugh.

Constable Crabtree: (As he is accessing a constable phone on the street). "Could you imagine if someday telephones were small and portable enough that people could carry them around with them.

Constable Higgins: That would be impossible! The cords would trip the horses!

I see Fran and my drink of choice makes an appearance on your breakfast table as well

That drink makes it everywhere!

Great day! It's always nice to take it easy and not rush around.

I was actually enjoying just sitting around the Bungalow. How often do you get to update a TR in such a picturesque setting?

CBJ cracks me up every time.

It was certainly nostalgic.

Cool pictures with the Beast. I have yet to get a dinner reservation there.

It was a nice place to dine, but I'm good with it for now.

I'm with Jenny, love the MSEP.

It's warming up for me.
