Having spent plenty of time hitting the highlights for rides with zero to little wait, it was time to set out in search of other scary adventures.
You find zero wait times scary. Interesting...
eaten enough terrifying, yet delicious, food to do serious exorcism of anything that might have yet lingered inside,
TMI!!! TMI!!!!!!!
Well, that just sucks hard, because, of all the things I wanted to get a decent photo of, it was of He Who Rides Headless.
He's a hard dude to pin down.
Even if you're ready.... it's not an easy shot.
Now, I don't know about y'all, but I have a very special knack and talent for biffing it royally in parade timing.
I don't... but I do love the word "biffing".
MSEP, in my humble yet much debated, opinion is the only one worth really giving the time of night to.
Not the 3pm parade? I wasn't a fan before, but I am now.
Call me nostalgic, call me sappy, (I've been called far worse, so go ahead, lay it on me),
Pretty?
Oh, wait... we're supposed to be insulting....
I got nothin'.
Stemming from deep-seated and utterly magical memories as a child growing up, this parade holds a very dear spot in this sentimental heart of mine.
Awwww...
Well, it does have a catchy tune as well... that you are singing now, aren't you.
Nope! I spent so much time focusing on shooting it that I didn't hear it!
Buahahaha! Let me know how long you were tormented with that.
Zero seconds.
I was a little sad for the stroller that was "accidentally" launched a few (dozen) feet back, and it was unfortunate for the lady with the walker that I had to misplace, but well, this was the BOO to YOU Parade.
Darwinism. Totally get it.
So should they.
Not bad for being unready.
Allow me now to just say, that this is hands down, turn around, the 2nd best parade Disney has to offer. It is my opinion and therefore correct. Talk to the hand.
I was going to correct you... but I sense futility ahead.
Yes, I sang along. Yes, my kids rolled their eyes into the next zip code.
Like the one lady standing next to me whose arm I had to crop out of 90% of my photos. Thank you, Arm Lady.
Why didn't you punt her like you did everyone else?
Or was it you just didn't notice until after?
I'm not sure I can choose a favorite other element; it might have quite possibly been the Corpse Troupe, maybe the Grave Diggers, or maybe the rarer Villians we don't see very often. Or maybe it was just the complete package- one in which I think comes together quite nicely.
I can! I love the ballroom dancers.
It used to be the gravedigger and his dog, but...
I gave it my best shot (metaphorically speaking) and here's what you get.
Ya done good!
This next one is titled: Inspiration for the Hoop de Doo Men's Bathroom. If you need explanation, there are several of my dear readers who can provide photographic help.
Yep. Don't need an explanation on that one.
Never been to Hoop, but have seen photos of it.
There always has to be a personal favorite of the bunch. THIS one is IT! Hot diggity. Score!
Nice!
I know, I know, it was hard to contain myself, though. I tried; I really did try to narrow it down to just a few representative shots. But it was hard!
I feel your pain! "Dang it I took 384 pictures and I'm darned well gonna post them all!"
I mean the castle was just so... beautiful.
I still think I like World of Color better, but this certainly rivals for top spot.
Interesting.... Guess I'll find out for myself.
and while there are 2 shows of the Hocus Pocus Spelltacular Show and 2 Parades at each party,
Saw both... but.... the Hocus Pocus show? meh. Not my thing.
I didn't even mention it in my TR even though I saw it twice.
WHAT THE WHAT??! Is that light pole doing in ALL of my photos.
The meringue?
Disney, your Queen is not happy. Unleash the monkeys and may a pox smite the idiot who chose this spot.
Yeah!!!!!
Oh wait, that would be me.
oh
First, the projection show that I have no idea the name of. Feel free to enlighten me as I have ZERO desire at 10:43 PM on a work night to go dig and research the name of.
It
was Celebrate the Magic.
But the last showing was November 3rd.
I'd make a terrible Imagineer. Well, actually, that's a lie, I'd make a pretty good one, considering that I had the idea for a Mine Train ride about 20 years ago when I watched Snow White with Andrew for the fortieth time in a 2 week span once.
Should've written it down and had it notarized.
Then you'd have a case!
Once certain... products... are legal for recreational use in Florida, I think Disney could cash in on an Alice in Wonderland themed establishment and really rake in some income. Hookahs for all!
Another opportunity Disney missed out on entirely with is a Sleeping Beauty Nap Spa for tired moms. Just set up really soft beds in a salon type space and the overwrought park touring moms would flock to it. Babysitting for an hour would be included in the experience.
Hmmm..... I can see this turning a tidy profit.
A Meet and Greet with Prince Charming would, of course, run a little extra.
<ahem>
So.... you're looking to set up less of a napping spot and more of a brothel.
That's okay, but the guys need equal time.
A veritable explosion of fireworks and castle photos that ought to keep you indulged for a while.
Really nice shots, Liesa!
Hopefully you will get a chance to see it in the future though, it is an amazing parade!
Are we going to miss each other by a one month window yet again??
