Will You Chill Out if I Sprinkle You With Pixie Dust? The End p136 *New TR Link* p138

So glad Soarin' made spirits soar.


I usually go left but on occasion go right, very rarely though.

DS Chris doen't like SS either. he opts for EU and well I did it once with him but did not like the salad I got and was not in the mood for a burger.


I will say M:S is out after lunch and with people with motion issues.

Ellen maybe to sleep off the food coma?

 

[eandesmom]

Fake.

5 days off! and you'll feel like you have a new house once you are done rehanging, that's always kind of exciting. A pain while you are doing it but fabulous after.

Interesting on the lunch call, I've never really considered EU as an option, did they like it? I will say your lunch looks really yummy. I'm not a SS fan, I think b/c it makes me feel like i'm at a corporate food court...which can be good but there is a weird association there for me that I have a hard time getting past, and it's so loud and crowded...sensory overload. But that lunch looks darn good. I'd have bailed on that kind of wait for Nemo but you got some decent pictures!!!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Ooooh, you got in trouble...you got in trouble! (said in a little girl sing-song voice) Seriously, I didn't know that there was a rule that absolutely no picture taking was allowed on Soarin'. I thought that only flash photos were a no-no.

It must have been a pretty busy day if you had a long line to get into The Living Seas building. (yes, I know it has another name now but I forgot what it is. ) Your aquarium pictures turned out waaaaay better than mine did.

 

[petals]

you got good pics of Nemo. My camera always blurs on that ride.

 

[amandaw]

So glad everyone liked Soarin! I have a question about Soarin since I've never done it (*hanging my head in shame*) What does one do with a camera bag on that ride? My camera bag is a sling backpack. Can I keep it on & just sling it onto my lap?

Lunch looks delicious! We like both Sunshines Seasons & the Electric Umbrella!

The Nemo ride is cute but I can't see waiting in a long line for it. It doesn't really feel like a full ride.

Your aquarium pictures are very nice! Reid loves that area. I usually have to drag him out of there.

I'm not really sure where my sister and the hubby are going to stay on their road trip. My nephew recently moved to South Carolina (I believe Charleston. Bad Aunt Lisa for not remembering!) so their main destination is his house. I think that they already have their reservations made but I'll ask and then send her your recommendation.

 

[Wicket's Mom]

Soarin' is my DH's favorite ride, a must do.

I much preferred The Living Seas instead of Nemo, there more focus to the aquarium. Loved watching the divers feed the fish. Really liked to see the manatees. I did get to see manatees in the wild this past February.

Your pictures of the fish looked pretty good to me, nice saturated colors on the fish.

 

[krhst25]

Did you do turtle talk with Crush? I love that show and have gone without my kids.
I am lucky to have gone to WDW when the Nemo line is not that long-- I do agree it is just Ok.

I busted my butt today doing housework, then marching band practice, then shopping, now making cookies. I am dead, so I can't do replies right now. Please forgive me. I need to go to sleep. But I will answer this......

If you leave it on the floor under your seat theCMs will pick it up and move it over to the end of your row. There is a place to stow things under the glider, but its not that big. I can shove my camera bag in there, but its a struggle so most of the time I just leave it out.

 

[KatMark]

Great update, MEK. I'm glad everyone loved and "survived" Soarin'. It's a great ride. But you are right...they need to specify "no flash photography" or "no photos at all".

You definitely made the better choice for lunch. We ate at EU in January and it was awful.

Love all the pictures of the fish...you got some great shots.

 

[IheartDDuck]

Look at you getting busted taking pictures on Soarin'! I don't understand why it's such a big deal. Whatever.

The food at Sunshine Seasons looks great! I would have been miffed too if I got a smaller piece of the strawberry shortcake. It's so good, you want a big piece!

*sigh* Blaming things on the kids when you don't want to do them. I don't love that. I hope your SIL didn't keep doing that.

So glad everyone enjoyed Soarin'. I think it's hard to complain about that one; it's so great!

I'm with you about Nemo. If it was at a carnival, it would be in the kiddie ride section. I'm not a kiddie, but I still love Nemo anyway. So it would be nice if there was a little more to the ride.

 

[marDgreen88]

Hahah aww, your nephew looks so excited for Soarin'!! I agree, the queue is amazing!

"These little beauties" always makes me laugh too! The poor guy just wants to wear his Mickey ears. And is it just me... or do the girls in the background have goggles on???

I've only done Nemo once, and I guess that's exactly why! Somehow I always seem to forget that it's there...

Clownfish go out... and then back in... and then out...

 

[Millie12591]

Yeaaa you got to meet up with Anita, Mark and my sis Jen!!

So glad y'all got to go on a ride together!!

I wish your brother had taken Denny's place, but at least he was finally wanting to do things and seemed like he was finally into really being there!!

Anxious to hear about your time with just your boys.

 

[jenseib]

I've seen other pictures of soarin too, so I thought it had the no flash rule as well.
Lunch looks good. I haven't eaten there since the 90's, so things have changed a bit in there since then. Back then they had a really good mac and cheese kid meal. One of my older kids favorites and it was so much that we would share that. I don't think they have it anymore, or if they do it's not the same. Disney Mac and Cheese is actually pretty gross now when we've gotten it.

I am going to be a bad DISer for a couple days. My next two days are jammed packed, so I probably won't get to replies until Sunday.

But I have read everyone's comments and you all have me smiling and chuckling as usual.

So, see ya in a few days.

Hope everyone has a great Labor Day!

 

[CatNipRules]

Love Living with the Land. I can't tell you how many pictures we have of the different plants there.

I love all the pictures. Especially of Soarin!! One of our favorite rides at Epcot!

Oh the food!

Nemo!! He! We love aquariums and I could probably spend all day in that one place. Manatees are just the best things ever!

 

[CandleontheWater]

Glad to hear everyone enjoyed Soarin'! I'm still holding out hope that my little man will hit 40 inches by the end of next month so we can ride together. He is just a smidge too short, but just a little growth spurt would fix that!

I know that sunshine seasons is a DIS favorite, but I can never find something I love there. I usually get the same tuna salad as you, but I much prefer the offerings in WS.

I think Nemo is a cute ride, but I wouldn't wait 20 minutes for it! You guys are troopers!

 

[amazingact21]

Ugh, it's frustrating getting reprimanded for picture-taking when all the CM says is, "No flash photography." There's a big difference, and it's not your fault they didn't specify.


A 25 minute wait for Nemo?! That's crazy! I don't I've ever heard of anyone having to wait that long before now. People must have really been in a fishy mood that afternoon.


I browsed through Sunshine Seasons last May, and now I really wanna give it a try the next time I'm in Epcot. The plate with the Asian noodles looks really good.

Being handed the smallest piece of dessert is such a Catch-22. It's like, "Okay, I guess I'm going to be good today and not pig out," but then there's the, "But I WANT to pig out, I'm on vacation here" thought that runs through your head.


Hmm, the next ride....I don't know if the boys would sit through Turtle Talk, so I'm going to say some folks rode Mission Space.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Phew! So glad everyone enjoyed Soarin! I've also seen lots of pictures so maybe the no photos is a new thing?

Your SIL missed out on lunch. Sunshine Seasons is WAY better than EU! But then again it's nice to get some separate time to do your own things.

I agree on Nemo - not a big fan of the ride.

Where did you go next... well, Test Track is closed.... based on motion sensitivity am guessing Mission Space right after lunch isn't a great idea. Journey into Imagination?

Jealous of your 5 day weekend. Enjoy!!!!
