Well I lost track as we left for our trip as you were finishing your TR and then the holiday season ht and the beginning of the year, but I didnt forget about ya :-D Im just glad they didnt lock down your TR before I could post! I remember on my WDW trip I posted the words Final Thoughts in my TR title and the thread was moved and locked a day later!
I cant remember what Ive commented on so I just read through it again lol Hold on to your seat, I tend to get long-winded ;-D And I always put in the disclaimer that you dont have to do a detailed reply because of the length of my reply hehe.
Love the pics coming into DLH such a magical feeling when you walk through that entryway. And I dont know what it looked like before the remodel, but I sure like the way it looks now. We got those same red AAA lanyards from our trip :-D Great shot of you and the guys in front of Walt and Mickey. Nice set of afternoon rides for a Friday and I agree about the trippy factor of Winnie the Pooh.
Bummer about your IaSW boat being on the wrong side both my mother and mother-in-law are in scooters so I know how that can be. But there is the plus of the handicapped line which can wash away the downside. Great smile from her after NBCHM. Great food pron and seating at Blue Bayou score! Too bad about the argument, but youre right not everyone can have the Disney gene (I just joined a FB group called Stop asking me why I keep going back to WDW lol)
Good MM start to Saturday and cool that you could let your mom get rest while yall did the early morning thing. Glad you liked SMGG bummer about the jerko on your ride pic. Good use of LGMHs for censoring him ;-] Good breakfast and great view of Tom Sawyer island while you ate. Nice hidden Mickey on the Mark Twain poster I had no idea that was there. Good mix of DL & CA rides before picking up your mom. And I totally agree about the classic feel of riding the train. It was only operational the first day we were there so we made sure we took the whole loop and then some to get our fill of it.
Great lunch and cool dessert mugs. More fun rides and do you think its weird that they changed Jacks mask? It used to be more round like it is in NBC, but now it looks more like a skull. Good day all around and you even got to take in Fantasmic!
2 MMs in a row you guys are Disney Animals!!! I cant believe how many times yall are riding SMGG! More fun at CA and cool that you got to meet up with some friends and cool that she got to spend her b-day there
even if she does work there. Cool that you caught pics of a fairytale wedding with coach and all Ive never seen one live.
What, you dont like Hopper and his spider friends in Bugs Life? Ah well, we cant all like the creepy crawleys. Nice shot of you and your mom by the happily ever after wall :-] Thanks for the hint on checking out Maynard in the Tiki Room on youtube. I hadnt seen him either time we went and I can see that he sure adds something to the show. Loved his Jungle Cruise song too. Nice pics with him! Great dinner to end the evening for yall.
On the post on Chris and Dan, it is always fun to see a n00bs reaction to ToT
Hehehe. Sound like you hit the high points with Screamin and GRR and then Splash back in DL. The fireworks totally rock loved them and hope they make them a yearly thing. SMGG again??? LOL, yall are addicted to that thing! Nice finish with a walk on to the Matterhorn.
Nice pics on Screamin and ToT and cool that you got to meet back up with Brittany and her friends. Funny pics from the Lost Bar. We walked past that thing every day but I had the blinkin flu and didnt get to enjoy and drinks the whole trip arggghh!
Yeah, 7:30am sleeping in, right ;-] You guys really have some stamina for riding the big rides! Nice shot with Woody there was no wait when we saw him either but my kids didnt want a pic with him
Great shot of the water coming off of the water wheel on TSI and with the gold lol. Nice that you caught up with Jack and Sally too, although Sally looks a bit apathetic
or maybe thats just her character.
ROFL! That is a fantastic hub pic ya gotta make a poster out of that one! Too bad DL was so crowded, but the time at the Lost Bar looked like it was well spent. Great shot of non-drinking Chad ;D Good fun and food at ESPN too.
Last day as a Saturday, tricky. Falling asleep standing up not the best start either. Nice that the breakfast reses got you out past Main Street before rope drop. Great character shots in Minnies but I agree about the offerings being better at Goofys.
Looked like a nice time in Toontown and nice that your mom was cool with shopping while you guys hit some rides. Country Bear is missed I was happy to have been able to see it at WDW in 2008 while we were there, hoaky but still lots of fun. Good finish in the park and I completely agree about staying at DLR. The location, the theming, the classic feel. It just rocks.
ROFL, I love the expression on the girl in front of you on Screamin hilarious! Good Disney mojo getting to ride together via the single rider line on TSM :-D Good shots inside Monsters, Inc too. You really do have your timing right to be able to have caught as many E ticket rides as you did before they closed. Glad you got to see the fireworks again. I am almost to the point of my TR to show the pics I took of it. Again, just an amazing show.
Great sequencing shots of Chris trying to eat the sundae wow! We love watching Man vs Food too, and yes, food wins a decent number of episodes. Nice supplement with the Goofy pics :-]
Love the pics of family, friend, characters, and food from Goofys Kitchen. I cant believe you took pics of the entire buffet! Great trip overall and Ill have to hunt down your Christmas trip TR now!
