Where did this heat and all these people come from? The new PTR/TR link 5/7

[BrooklynnsMommy]

I love Fantasmic but I don't know that we will see it this summer. The crowds are too much with two little kids since they now only do it certain nights. Last summer we were in line for the 2nd show 30 minutes before the first show started. The crowds were insane and it was super hot! Not a fun way to end the night in my opinion.

I just adore Fantasmic. Your pictures are making me want to see it in September. Hmmm, I feel an itinerary change coming on.

I love the picture of the balloons on Sunset Blvd...is that the street name??

 

[Kelrykengab]

We all love F! and can't imagine being in Disney and not seeing it even though we have seen it twice. Great pics. The thing I love about WDW is it is a different trip every time....with kids, without kids and even with the exact same people it can be a different trip each time. So cool!

So glad to hear that Beth's surgery went well!

What a lovely evening and a great seat at Fantasmic!!! Love your shot of the balloons on Hollywood Boulevard!

Joining in
Great F! pics, I haven't seen it in a while, I'll have to get on that though!

 

[KatMark]

Great update, Katie. Your pics of Fantasmic are much better than anything I've been able to get; I have a new camera but we won't be doing Fantasmic this year.

 

[SoonerGirl]

Katie, reading about your night makes me wish we had come over after dinner to watch Fantasmic with you after all! I still haven't seen it @ WDW, someday......

 

[micandminforever]

I enjoyed looking at your DHS pictures. I need to take my time on our next visit and tour the Walt Disney display.

Nice update! We haven't went to see Fantasmic yet but may try it this year. My 2 grandchildren will be there and can't see them being happy waiting that long as we are going to DHS on one of the last days of the trip so we will play it by ear.

Hi Katie. I finally found your TR and you're already at page infinity?

Glad to see that real Beth is doing well and I hope her post-op recovery is still going well. I had to laugh at the pics of flat Beth and it brought back great memories.

Loving your TR.

What a wonderful night!! I've never seen One Man's Dream and have made it my mission to see it the next time-- I've only heard wonderful things about it. That's what I love about Disney-- great with kids, great as a couple, great on your own!!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

That is terrific news about Beth! I hope she continues to feel better and better!!

Love your evening at DHS pictures. Here's another confession from me... I've never seen Fantasmic! I take it you would recommend it?

I love your last shot looking back down the boulevard at the sorcerer's hat!

What a great TR! I am thoroughly enjoying your updates and can't wait to hear more Such a shame to hear about your friend Beth's problem but so GREAT that the operation was a success, the world of medicine is just amazing! I've often thought about a solo trip and how I would do it. I travel alot for work so I guess I'm used to being alone and working on my own schedule. I bet it's just incredible how much more you can observe, appreciate and do when there's no pressure to please anyone but yourself! You go girl! Bring on the next update

 

[jenjolt]

I think your point and shoot did a mighty fine job taking nighttime pictures!! It has been awhile since I saw Fantasmic and I'm starting to think I need to see it again! Maybe I'll take C with me and she and I can see it!!!

Glad you enjoyed the show and glad you enjoyed having just some "you" time at Disney!!!!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

I didn't venture into One Man’s Dream and I sooo wish I would have. I would also tear up. His life was amazing. I also have never seen F! It's on the "maybe next time" list. Great pictures!!

 

[kcandbella]

I am happy to hear the good news about Beth!

And...ahahahahahaha a long sleeved shirt?!?!?? I was mad at myself for not bringing more SLEEVELESS! Needing a long sleeved shirt would have actually been kinda nice...

We didn't make it to One Man's Dream even though we passed it a million times and I wanted to go in. It looks really cool.

You got some really great shots of Fantasmic! We really enjoyed the show on Weds, we had the dinner package so didn't have to wait long at all. Bella was a little scared of the snake but still talks about how much she liked the show as a whole!

 

[jenniferkeala808]

great end to day 1!! great pictures of Fantasmic! and also you got great seats! Sorry! I didn't see the previous post about Beth! Sending well wishes her way!! Can't wait to see more!!

 

[MeMom]

It was a very nice story about Walt’s life and work!

Up until now, I had thought a few times that I wished my kids were with me but found I was really enjoying being able to just wander doing what I felt like.

That is a very nice movie about Walt's life and work.

I can hear the music playing in my head when I see the Fantasmic billboard.

It is fun to wander around alone sometimes to take pictures, window shop, or just people watch.

Love the Fantasmic pictures! DH and I haven't seen it since 2008, when we walked in 5 minutes after it started and stood way in the back! I just never felt like waiting an hour for seats, but maybe this November I will, I'd like to see it once and actually know what's happening!

How did I miss your last update? : I'm glad you got such a great seat at Fantasmic and your pictures certainly turned out well. You got all the main highlights and the content of the pictures are great!

When you have young kids and you are finally free of the restraint, it feels amazing doesn't in. You feel so light and floating like you could just wind you way through anything.

I love your CSR pics, too. It really is a pretty resort and I am glad you liked it there. So, do tell....did you change your room?????
