YES, touring Cinderella’s Dream Suite was Amazing!+14 Other Magical Days* Dismeet & Wrap

[eandesmom]

Mnnn, Boma Breakfast, I hope to finally do this in May. Love the last morning pictures on your balcony at AK, just makes me smile looking at them. We have never done SOAT. Really hope to in December though I am worried the lines will be frightening...I don't think it comes up as a FP+ option...or does it? Maybe I should go check again lol.

Very cute that Kathy and Mark sailed by you while eating, the lighting is horrendous in there for photos.

I shed a tear as well at American Adventure, it's become a must do for me each trip.

I've yet to see the new TT (cracking up about your original Darren comment!) but as it is one of my most favorite rides, very worried I will feel much the same.

Great updates!

 

[DisneyJo]

TT has always been our families favourite ride so I'm really worried whether we'll like the new version or not!!

It's so nice that you keep having DIS meets, I think my husband is banning them on our next trip

 

[jmm476]

So I'm still confused... You are supposed to use the MB for test track? But it didn't tell you to use it? No wonder I'm having nightmares about this upcoming trip. I'm going to feel like a newbie with these bands!

I'm not a huge fan of the new Test Track either. I preferred the old version... and I prefer Radiator Springs Racers to either of them

With the design a car we used the MB to design and then scanned the MB before we got into the car!

San Angel Inn is beautiful! I just wish we had liked the food! But then that was almost 5 years ago so we may give it another chance...

 

[DaveinFallsChurch]

I'm with ya on Test Track. It feels like a whole lot of work "designing" the vehicle in the queue for a whole lot of nothing on the actual ride. Yep, that extra 15% of power made the vehicle feel a lot faster. NOT.

I'm still grumbling about Voices of America being on a week long break when I visited the American Adventure last month. I hadn't seen them before and was really looking forward to hearing them. And taking pictures of them. Even the Fife and Drums were not available on the day I went.

 

[katt789]

I definitely agree with you on the test track stuff, I just don’t like it, the old one was a lot better, and the design process just slows down the ride a heck of a lot. It doesn’t help like an interactive queue, but just slows everything down? I dunno, that’s what I felt!

San Angel will always remind me of the blue bayou? At DLR, both places I really want to eat at, as they’re IN rides..kinda…more so at DLR. Also, Holly Madison got married at the blue bayou, like, INSIDE POTC, when you’ve got money, you can do anything, bahaha!

Oh my gosh I love those plates!! Looks like a pretty good meal! I think it’s next on my list of WS places to dine, that, and Teppan Edo. I always like to return to my favourites, although without the DDP there’s NO WAY I can afford all of the delicious foods at Le Cellier, bahahaha. Question, how much is the TiW card? I’m going to have to do some research on that since we just bought AP’s the other day! Yayayaya!

Never seen the American Adventure, but love the voices of liberty, they are so talented!

Aw, you guys rent DVC’s! That’s good to know! I really do like the idea of it, I’ve wanted to do it for a while, especially at Yacht/Beach club! I’m thinking next Nov! Got some time to save for it! Lol

 

[annie170]

I preferred the first Darren in Bewitched, also. Guess we're showing our ages here!!

I love the atmosphere at San Angel Inn, but didn't care much for the food. That was quite awhile ago, so we may have to try it again. Those tostadas look delish!

American Adventure makes me cry, too. I feel like such a proud American!

 

[IheartDDuck]

Nice, pixie dusted with Fastpasses!

I am on the same wavelength with you about Test Track. The boys LOVED it in July, so we had to suffer through a few rides that just felt like they took forever.

American Adventure is one of my favorites. I get all welled up inside.

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Wow, the Magic and pixie dust just always seems to find you. I'll be sticking pretty close come December to see if some of it falls off my way. Nice snag on the TT fastpasses.

I agree Brenda. While I'm not one that's necessarily against change, I am against it if it doesn't make an improvement. And the TT change doesn't make an improvement in my eyes. I'm reserving judgement on MyMagic+, but the same rules apply.

Haha, although Em clearly enjoys the design process.

San Angel Inn restaurant has to be one of the coolest looking anywhere. So amazing how much it looks like night time.

I'm deeply embarrassed to say that I have never seen the American Adventure. Now that I see all the stairs, I now know why.

Actually this really is on my to do list.

 

[klacey1]

I like the new ride portion of TT, but really hated the lack of direction with designing the cars, when to tap your KTTW on the reader before you rode, etc. San Angel Inn sure is dark! The contrast between inside and outside in your pictures is crazy!

 

[BridgetR3]

Oh man, I hope we can keep our designs from Test Track. That was my boys' favorite part of the ride.

Love Kathy's shirt in your picture with her! We re-enact that scene often with the kids!

Here's hoping you LOVE Yacht Club!! I know we loved the Beach Club this June!

 

[francis6306]

Test Track!!! I just want to ride this ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know… if all the pixie dust lines up just right and I make this Mom's Panel thing, I could be in the World while you are there… but I can't allow myself to think about that…

 

[DMGeurts]

I almost missed your update... Yah - not a huge fan of TT anymore either. So sad. The girls and I didn't even bother building our vehicle - we just rode single rider, and I am glad we did... This definately solves our main issue in Epcot... Left or Right for morning FPs... Although - FP+ is going to solve that issue for sure by our next trip anyways. LOL

It looks like you had a great day in WS... We have only seen the American Adventure show once - and I doubt that we will be going back... Not that we didn't enjoy it - but when all three of us end up sound asleep in the back row... Well... It's just too comfy and too dark for us tired park goers. LOL

Can't wait to hear about your check in.

D~

 

[teekathepony]

Hi Brenda! Coming to you from the airport this morning! What better way to pass the time until disney then by dising?
I'm interested to see the new test track, even if everyone agrees it's not much improvement. I'm not a lover of change either and for the record, I also preferred he first Darren on Bewitched! Hehehe
Another Dismeet? Awesome! Your seats in San Angel are awesome, I've always wanted to eat there just for the atmosphere!
Can't wait to see your next room!

I'm loving all the DIS meets you've done so far on this trip. It's nice to see how friendly the DIS community can be!

San Angel looks so good. How funny that you got to see KatMark sail by!

Is an amazing upgrade in store again for YC? Hahaha!

 

[natebenma]

Brenda- it can't be said enough- Thank you to Chad for his service and to your family for your sacrifices.

[khertz]

UGH, Test Track...Why did they have to mess with a good thing?! I gave it a shot on our trip, and just as suspected, I don't see the point of the new attraction at all. It is also pretty silly to be able to use your MB to design the car but they don't tell you that anywhere!!

The atmosphere in the Mexican pavilion is probably my favorite of all the pavilions! Never eaten at the restaurant, but it looks like you and Em had a lovely view!

I did the American Adventure for the first time a few years ago, and it was really lovely! We haven't the past few trips because I think DS would be too antsy and loud in there, so I look forward to being able to check it out again when he is a little older.

 

[momabbate]

Brenda, Thanks for raising a great son that serves our great country!

I promise to get caught up soon. I should have known I couldn't take time away from the dis when reading the most popular thread. (I don't know where you ended this month.)

 

[Queenofallthings]

I have to tell you, that although I am Canadian, the American Adventure makes me weep every single time! I think you can't help but think of your own country and how lucky we are to have such great neighbours to the south

 

[Wood Nymph]

I guess I'll be in the minority and say that I like the new Test Track. I like designing a car and I'm really glad that the lame pre-show is gone now. The part with the car speeding outside is still the same, so all is good in my opinion.
