Where Pixie-Dusted Birthday Dreams Come True! A July Trip Report! PTR Link! Pg. 116

I'm thinking there should be a Triple Mountain Whammy t-shirt and pin.

I like Main Street Electrical Parade, and one can't help put love Elliott, but I'm more of a Spectro fan, too, like Mary. When I hear 'On this magic night....' start up, I just get an incredible feeling of happiness. It will be interesting to see what other parades lie ahead for us and which ones our kids and grandkids end up developing a fondness for.


I know seeing the parade was a highlight for you, and I think back to when you thought you were not going to get a chance to see it. I'm glad that 'magic night' happened for you and your family.

Maybe Chelsea should have gone over and talked to Cute Boy.

Two of the four sessions that I attended incorporated some aspect of Disney -- one was using primary sources in a study of the Great Depression and the presenter used a clip from Snow White -- another was incorporating the arts into the language arts curriculum and had all sorts of Disney songs. Then, I was browsing through the vendors' booths and Disney had one set up for their Youth Education field trips! There were real Disney CMs wearing "real" Disney nametags. I had to stop and chat for awhile.

I am having my share of withdrawals myself. I "see" or "hear" disney references every day.
I was advising a potential new hire on where to take her drug test and it was across town. So as I say ..."but it is all the way across town" I hear myself wanting to say " But I got you a real fast car" Which the one of the last lines in the RnR preshow before they send you out to the alley for the ride queue.

Driving home I saw a car with the license plate &B3OND. Then I look up and across the trunk is the make of the car.... INFINITY

INFINITY & BEYOND

I tried to take a picture of it but another car cut in front of me.

I see Hidden Mickey's and Disney references everywhere!!! I guess it will just have to keep my busy since I do not have a trip planned for anytime soon.<sniff sniff>

 

[IheartDDuck]

I'm hopping on board! I've lurked on your other reports, but now I'm ready to join the fun!

I love the pictures of the MSEP. It so reminds me of my childhood, because when we first used to go to the world, that was the only parade we would watch.

 

[disneyfan61]

Love your pics of the Electric Parade. I have never seen it but looking forward to it as it is listed on the schedule in May. I hate to say it but kinda sick of Spectro & was hoping they would still be showing EP in May.

Connor & his "moth" pic

The pic of Chelsea & her balloon is very cute.

Ah riding Splash, EP & fireworks then a Dole Whip...What a great night!!

 

[vamassey1]

Yeah for riding all the mountains and double yeah for catching the parade. I haven't seen it since I was in High School and went for the very first time. You got some really great pictures. Love the Dole Whip break. It's so nice to know that Chelsea still has some little girl in her and not afraid to let it out. A balloon is such a nice treat. Danielle likes balloons but from afar. She hates the loud sound when they pop so she keeps her distance. A mylar balloon would be okay, they just slowly leak.

Rope Drop or bust!

Back in July, I said I would be just fine without a holiday trip. We'd have the nice summer trip, a quick little October trip, and then we'd be so busy through the winter, we wouldn't think about it again until March.

Yeah...so not right!
The more I see Christmas decoration pictures people are already showing, I'm dying to get in the car and drive ten hours south just to walk through DTD. I could be okay not even going into a park.

I think.


Maybe I'd have to go to Animal Kingdom.

See?

It's a problem.

I'm already eating my PBJ sandwiches in the dark to save enough money to go in March, and I have the nerve to think about going at Christmas.

It is most ridiculous.

But it is what it is.
I long (yearn could be a better word) to see those decorations and just feel that special Disney Christmas atmosphere.

I need some medication.

 

[Happydog]

Jackie I just love love those parade photos! Just like others I agree, it takes you right back!!! I am really excited to see your DHS day, but really enjoyed your Magical evening at the Magical Kingdom! So much fun. Great last view of the castle!!!

I really had a great time reliving that parade with you. it was fun!!! I have that ring tone on my phone -- my DH says I am crazy. I say I like what I like

The necklace was too cute! We have never gotten a balloon, but each time I see they CMs walking around with them, I keep thinking HOW festive they are!!!!

ON another note.. Oh I know Starwars weekend would be IT, but I have to sit on my hands for now!

Can't wait to see your next summer day of fun!

 

[Happy Elf]

Loved seeing your MSEP pictures! Been gone for awhile, so I'm off to catch up!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Oh MeMom! I feel your pain! DH just said this morning that with all the Christmas stuff out now, he misses Christmas at Disney and wants to go again! I have to go eat Ramen in the dark so I can save up.

I wish it were only at 10 hour drive. It would be tough to keep us from going three or four times a year! That's nothing for us!

I need to find a ticker for our March trip - maybe that will make me feel better. Flower and Garden will be fun. Of course, Christmas is coming so much sooner... SIGH.

Jackie, are you planning on going for SWW in May or June?
I'm considering surprising my nephew with a trip over Memorial Day weekend. Is that usually a SWW?

 

[scottny]

So glad she got her camera back. (I am really far behind).
Le Cellier is good but I feel over-rated.
I saw lots of kids doing Kim Possible when we were there. Do adults do it?
Nice souvenirs.
Love Dinoland. Actually I love AK.
I love walking the trails. Too bad the tigers were sleeping.
We had Yak & Yeti too, oh wait need to save it for my tr. LOL
Disgusting she brushed her there at the table.
Love the Star Wars stuff for birthday.
Great animal shots when u returned back.
Great safari pics. That darn lion is always sleeping when I go.
The meerkat is adorable. Sadly they were not our when we went. I loved "Meerkat manor".
The sugar cane mojito looked good.
I have never seen the opening show at MK or any park.
I want a haircut there.
CP is such great place for breakfast.
Good for the CM saying something to the tour group.
30 minute wait for HM? I have seen 90 minutes. SCARY
MMMM, Mickey ice cream bar.
Nice MSEP pics. Wait till to read about our time seeing it.
I am all caught up. Great tr and pics.

I am maybe going then too.

 

[Native NYer]

I am maybe going then too.

Looks like there will be quite a few DISers there. Hmmm, I think a GG slushie meet might be in order.

 

[MEK]

Fun, fun update with wonderful pictures of the ELP. I must confess that I did not get to see it in September, so I really enjoyed your pictures. Its such a festive parade.

to your Splash Mountain ride pic. I didn't even realize you were sitting there. But I went back and looked and saw the tip of your head.

Chelsea looks so pleased with your balloon. Love her t-shirt.

Stop by my TR and say hello (hint hint).

 

[Flossbolna]

Wonderful update! Sounds like a succesful evening for everyone! I love the last picture of Chelsea with her balloon. Everything is clear, but the balloon is a bit blurry - like it was just an imagination!

 

[TarzansKat]

I get chills looking at the pictures of the parade! Thank you so much for posting them. Capping the evening off with a Dole Whip sounds good to me!

Btw, Chelsea looks so cute in that tank top!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I'm so happy you were able to relive your childhood.

Did you buy the awesome Eliott pin they were selling at Disney? I thought it was a very pretty pin!

 

[mousescrapper]

great MK night....I just loved seeing your MSEP pix...I don't recall seeing this as a child the one time we went to WDW, I know some "light" parade was going on at DL when we were leaving when we went that when I was a teen...so I feel next Sunday night will be my first MSEP experience. I love Spectro, so I am very EXCITED. thanks for sharing

 

[disneyfan61]

We will be there too. Well we will be there on Saturday of Memorial Weekend. We are coming back home on Sunday.

 

[manntra]

Phew!! Catching up is hard to do!
Ohhhh the MSEP.....wasn't it wonderful and just as you remembered it? I kept taking pictures on my phone to send to my parents to see if they recognized any of them Too, too funny about Connor and the moth to the flame reference
Love your SM picture of you ducking!! Congratulations to the family on the triple whammy mountain feat
