Cute pics with Anna and Elsa! Sounds like a nice afternoon That's so great that Disney was able to ship you a replacement for the wine glass!
It was good, not life changing good, and I probably wouldn’t bother getting again (too many awesome treats around the World Showcase to try), but I wouldn’t dissuade anyone from getting it.
Interesting fact for you about this! On the Keys to the Kingdom tour wen went on a couple weeks ago, our tour guide talked about how Julie Andrews owns all of the copyright/trademark to the Mary Poppins character from the movie. One of her stipulations for Mary Poppins out in the parks is that she is not allowed to have a Photopass Photographer with her. Isn't that so bizarre?! I had never heard such a thing, but the CM went on to say something similar about Johnny Depp and Captain Jack Sparrow. Apparently the actor/actress who plays the live action Disney character gets final say-so over the things their in-park character says, does, etc.There wasn’t a full photopass photographer, so I became the photographer!
Now I'm never going to unsee those stairs!I wish the Frozen Ever After picture happened in a better spot! We always just look like we're cruising along. At least you guys are smiling! Also, seeing the evacuation stairs behind the boat is not so magical!
Yeah-I know! I definitely want to see their full set, but probably won't have time until December!I love the Voices of Liberty!!! My favorite thing to see/listen to at Walt Disney World!
Yeah, merchandising was great! And my sister was so happy. Though she did try asking me why I didn't say both were broken so she could have gotten 2 extra!Cute pics with Anna and Elsa! Sounds like a nice afternoon That's so great that Disney was able to ship you a replacement for the wine glass!
I did love how Anna was just watching us too. Everyone could tell we were sisters because of our shirts so they treated us really well!How fun to go to the Summerhus with your shirts! It actually isn't always how it is that you walk in to meet Anna & Elsa with no one in the room. You just happened to be there at a not-so-busy time so they were able to do that. Majority of the time it's also timing, but I met them in there with many families also in the room because it was already so busy and they try to keep the line moving.
I do love macaron ice cream sandwiches! And crepes are on my list!Also, if you didn't like the Brioche, I highly recommend getting either macaroons or crepes at the France pavilion, those are GOOD.
We even tried with another photographer and ended up with Tinkerbell again rather than Remy! So, unfortunately we never got the Remy magic shot!That's so weird about the Remy magic shot that he just gave you Chip instead. Usually they're pretty good about that, but I believe Remy is on the shoulder or head (correct me if I'm wrong) so maybe he just messed up and luckily had a back-up plan. Oh well, Chip is V cute.
Makes sense! I told Lauren and she agreed!Fun fact on Mary Poppins, if you didn't know, the reason her (or Bert) never have a PP photographer is because her likeness is copyrighted to Julie Andrews. Unless Julie is there dressed as Mary, one cannot sell photos of Mary because it isn't "actually Mary" so they'd have to pay a big sum to Julie for every photo taken.
I guess we could have walked to HS from the IG, but it was too hot for that!
Loved this magic shot and it totally fit our shirts!
I was actually a bit let down for this performance. I don’t know what it was, but I think I was expecting more. It sort of felt like a community college version (I mean a very good CC version, but still, not as expected).
Me neither!! At least we're in it togetherNow I'm never going to unsee those stairs!
That is such a cute magic shot!!!! I had never seen this one before
That is exactly what I say!!!! We did our vow renewal there in 2016 and on that day we were all dressed up and felt like we fit right in. Any other time, I feel SO underdressed--it's like that scene in Pretty Woman, "We have nothing for you here, please leave." LOLI would also be so self-conscious about appearing too shabby for such a nice place!
Yeah, I mean, if you want to see it, don't let my review stop you, but I just wasn't a fan!It's a terrible walk!
I love it too!
That's disappointing to hear, we've never made it there but I've always thought it looked good.
Aladdin was so good! Like a real flying carpet and a parade through the theater, plus a row of dancing genies! And Frozen seems to even top that with the Elsa ice stairs going out over the audience and plenty of cool projection work!Love that magic shot with Olaf, it came out so cute! And the pics with Olaf himself!
I can see what you mean about Beauty and the Beast. The Aladdin show at DCA was such high quality, it's hard to top that!
For photopass, you can check the facebook page. They have albums with all of the available shots and where they are located! It was super helpful when I started going on my Magic Shot spree in the last few days!Me neither!! At least we're in it together

I'm not upset that I'm skipping it in March!That is informant about the boats, but it makes sense. They sound like they had most things up and running but hard to get it all up!
I kind of fell the same way about the Grand Floridian. It is beautiful, just don't know if I would want to stay there. The Poly is more our speed, I think.
Hollywood Studios is in rough shape right now. I wouldn't judge it by it's current shape. it is a sad park right now and if it was up to me, I would have skipped it this coming trip but I was out numbered.
We did get a few rides in! For me it goes Mission Breakout -> DHS ToT -> DCA ToT. And it's good to know I'm not the only one who wasn't as big a fan of BatB. I do think I liked Indy more, but I've always been a big Indy and stunt fan! RnRC definitely did give me a headache...that didn't stop me from riding it 3x more!Yay! You finally got to DHS if only briefly. I hope on your return you got to ride ToT because it is FAR superior to DCA's based on theory alone (randomized drop sequences), although I'm lightly in the party that agrees Mission: Breakout might have beaten it now. And I think I saw pics somewhere around the time of the hurricane of trees being down all along the waterway between Epcot and DHS so I think there was a lot of clean up going on there.
I love your magic shot with Olaf, it's so cute and so perfect with your shirts. Same with your meet with him (but I think the magic shot is cuter for some reason).
I also kinda agree with you that BatB isn't really that great. It's been around for awhile compared to a lot of the attractions currently still existing at DHS (I think Great Movie Ride was the only one that might've had it beat and Indiana Jones might still have it beat) so I think its age might be showing. I do still think its awesome we get a live singing Belle and Gaston tho.
So RNRC IS more intense than California Screamin'... interesting. Sorry to hear that resulted in a headache, hate when coasters do that to me.
Ugh, your Grand pics are giving me so many feels. You def have to go back to see it at Christmas, it is STUNNING. Or go back to catch the pianist who comes out in the lobby. He plays all these gorj piano covers of Disney songs and it just is so unbelievably magical (sometimes Cindy and her prince come out and waltz to it).
Love Love Love these so cute for 2 sisiters"I'm her Anna" and "I'm her Elsa",
Oh YumCinnamon French Toast Bread Pudding [served with bacon]
I guess not oh yum after allThe bread pudding itself was meh.
There was so much bacon on my plate
Cute I haven't seen this one before.Also got a Food & Wine magic video
What a great sis you areI eventually ended up emailing Disney Merchandise and they immediately sent out a replacement free of charge (without me even getting a copy of the receipt), so I was able to surprise Lauren.]
We had several also mainly around France/Epcotdo you notice the specks of dirt on the photos, I think that must have been on the lense
I also checked and couldn’t find Remy even though I had screenshots of where he was supposed to be. That’s when I realized …they had taken all the figures away for the hurricane and just hadn’t put him back out yet! Duh!
Jackie that is very interesting I never knew.On the Keys to the Kingdom tour wen went on a couple weeks ago, our tour guide talked about how Julie Andrews owns all of the copyright/trademark to the Mary Poppins character from the movie. One of her stipulations for Mary Poppins out in the parks is that she is not allowed to have a Photopass Photographer with her. Isn't that so bizarre?!

Apparently the actor/actress who plays the live action Disney character gets final say-so over the things their in-park character says, does, etc.
Love this Magic shot
You'll read all about my opinion on this towards the end of my TR.I thought it was definitely a gorgeous resort, and wouldn't be opposed to staying there, but don't know if I could ever justify the price!
Haha, actually I did know! I followed the Photopass facebook page, so it has a listing of all the magic shots available and I knew there was an Olaf one, so I knew the pose! I just didn't think about doing that shot with our shirts until the photographer told us! And Lauren was able to copy me, so it worked out great!I love your photo with the magic shot of Olaf, it is really cute. You and your sister posed perfect not knowing what it was going to be.
We stayed at GF and loved it, there is a TA that has great deals around the end of August, early September and really make the monorail resorts affordable. We loved it, it was my fave out of the three monorail resorts.
Cool you met a “celebrity” on the bus!
That's what I try to tell her...she disagrees often though!What a great sis you are
Yeah, I thought I had seen some of yours that were dirty too!We had several also mainly around France/Epcot
I'm curious now!You'll read all about my opinion on this towards the end of my TR.
They cleaned that up before we got there. There was def no fallen trees when we got there.On our way over to New Fantasyland we saw this tree knocked over right by the castle! So that pathway was closed down for I think the rest of our trip!
So, at first I thought the lady behind you was talking on her phone. Ha
PM EMH is always super busy right after the fireworks. We have left a couple times because it was so crowded.We looked at all the wait times for rides and they were not good! Note to self-no more PM EMHs, especially during party night season!
