Banshees are $59.99. A perch is extra.
Thanks for the clarification. Obviously I didn't look that closely!

Mustang it was not.
Oh, snap!
Okay... that sounds.... pretty darned good.
But I was wondering what to ask for next. Maybe breakfasts... hmmmm....

“Come on Eileen “always makes me think of summer
A traveling amusement fair came to a leisure center near where I lived when I was 16 or so and blasted it out all day long, or so it seemed! My best friend at the time was called Eileen so we used to break into dancing a jig every time we heard it lol
Mind you, I’ve enjoyed the wee trip back to the 80s. Loved that time, music-wise at least, between Soft Cell, Human League, Dexys and Madness it was a great time to be a teenager
Both the space and ninja’s photos are amazing
I don't usually worry too much about getting sick from others. I figure if it is going to happen I can't really stop it. BUT... I do shudder at the thought of using an airplane washroom so I was most concerned about not being sick for the hours when I would be on the plane going home. I was a bit concerned about sharing a bed with her, but my temptation to stay in a nice Disney bed was stronger. In the end I didn't get sick at all. (Whew!)
We did have one trip, back in 2007, where I got some kind of food poisoning on our last night. It made for a terrible last day. Our flight didn't leave until 9:30 pm. I was so sick that day that I couldn't do anything. My husband and son were fine so they went over to MK and had a great time. I stayed back at the WL and after getting as late a check out as possible, I just moved from couch to couch to rocking chair all around the WL lobby until it was time to head to the airport. While being sick without a bed to lay in isn't fun, WL lobby is one of the nicer place to be confined to if all you can do is just sit all day. There are so many nooks to relax in that in the end it wasn't too bad.
YES!!!
That's so cool! I think that's my goal in life - to be recognized randomly in the parks because of the Dis
Agreed!
I do, too! In January my family wanted to stick to MK and AK, but I forced everyone to do the Epcot monorail loops so we could "go into" Epcot
Little did they know, they were talking to Disers, taking pictures of food is what we do!
What?! I don't know that I knew this existed!??! How cool!!!
Just wanted to let you know I started my TR if you are interested!
Are people always like this? - A Solo Adventure Spring Break 2018 (Update: 3/28/18)
Well... that was easy!
Well... that was easy!
Pandora is just great to walk around in. I bought a Banshee when I was there opening weekend. They were cheaper then so I felt better about spending the money. I am a big fan of RoL even though many find it lackluster. Excited to hear about the next resort and the 4 parks attempt!
The floats in RoL look beautiful but i can't imagine how I'd convince anyone in my family to give that much time to waiting on the show. You'd think they'd be selling snacks to their seated,captive audience wouldn't you! I love that you remembered a friend <3
Glad to have seen this through your eyes so I don't need to worry if I miss it on future trips
I love how convenient it seems to be to do a little in-house catering while staying at SSR. Sounds like you trip was the perfect mix of self-catering and dining out.
How ever did you manage such restraint?!
I had a FP to see it back in August but it was kinda raining and I kinda wasn't feeling it, so I have yet to see it. But given everyone's "glowing" reviews (), I don't know that I'm in a hurry either. I do enjoy the pictures, though! So thanks for that!
Isn't Pandora especially beautiful at night?!
Those banshees are now about $100?! Yikes! I thought they were $60 or $70 when Pandora first opened.
I haven't been to AK in a few years as we skip it altogether on shorter trips, so haven't seen any of the nighttime attractions. I really want to see the Tree of Life Awakening, though. Rivers of Light certainly doesn't seem to get many raving reviews.
Love your Beverly Hillbillies reference!
How do you feel about that now?
That place just draws them in...
I don't get it. I saw grown men wearing them. Really? Gonna wear that to the office? Impress the boss or clients? "Ooh! Is that real?"
I don't really have a problem if others want one. You can spend your money any way that makes you happy (isn't that why we're all here, anyway?) But it's not for me. Not at a fraction of the cost.
I hear that. I made sure my kids had treats before (or shortly after) they sat down for long waits.
I keep hearing that. I don't think I've yet to hear a "wow" review.
That place is spectacular after dark. They really did a good job.
Well... poop!
That's cool too.
mmmmmm... potato salad.
Should make some soon. Haven't in a long time.
Holy cow! That's one full day!
I'm glad we watched Rivers of Light, but with so many excellent nighttime shows around WDW, I'm not sure that it will fit into future plans. Although I still don't feel that I have spent enough time at AK at night.
Right. People are welcome to spend their money on what they want. I'm not sure I would want others judging my purchases.
Smart parenting right there. Funny that we had 3 moms there and none of us thought ahead!
This was my first time at AK after dark, but I feel like I still have so much to do... ride EE at night, see the Tree of Life Awakening properly, explore Pandora.
I have made it a couple of times in the past month. I just got one of those Instant Pot pressure cookers. I was able to cook the eggs AND potatoes in the same pot at the same time.
The gift shop in Pandora seems small considering how many people want to check out Pandora. Perhaps in a few years it won't be a busy, but I know for the present it's constantly insane in there.
Thank goodness my kids have no idea about those banshees!!
Kind of a bummer that there wasn't any place to grab some food before Rivers of Light. I'm sure you guys were hungry by the time you got back to the resort.
Sounds like a good night, glad you got to see RoL for yourself and also see Pandora in the dark!
I really enjoyed seeing the Pandora land at night. It is so beautifully done. On our next trip we will be sure to make the time to see it both at night and in the daylight. My husband wants to have his first view of Pandora be at night, so AK will be on the itinerary for one of our first few nights.
It is too bad that the RoL show wasn't more spectacular. It is worth seeing, but not worth the hour of wait required to get a good seat.
I'd like to do more AK at night too.
Yes! Agree with all that!
Ha! I don't have that problem.
I don't buy silly items for people to wonder about.
On a totally unrelated topic...
Hey! Have you seen my poker chip collection?
I have one too. And I think I saw a spud salad recipe somewhere. I'll Google when I'm ready to do that.
I am hoping to go out and find some of the snowy owls that have been seen in our area this winter.
Most of my Disney trips until recently were in the summer, with kids who were early to bed and early to rise, so there really were no opportunities to see AK at night. Heck, I think most nights it closed before getting dark anyway.
I loved the quick peeks I had of AK after dark, but still have so much more I want to see.
Seen it? Heck, I considered adding to it!
The pulled pork in the IP is amazing! I currently have a 15 bean soup with Easter hambone brewing away now. 20 minutes to go...
I was pretty surprised when they started having AK open at night. "Oh, we can't have the park open after dark... for the animals, you know. It's all about not disturbing the animals."
You can make buckets of cash if you stay open.
"We feel that the animals won't be disturbed by remaining open."
While I appreciate the thought, I encourage people to not pick them up for me. My collection is strictly one that I can point to and say "I've been to all of those".
While I love pulled pork, I'm the only one in the family that does, so... that's not an option. DW will do pulled chicken (haven't done it in the IP yet but have in the slow cooker). Love my IP.
Okay... that is seriously cool. Might be a bit jealous....
Nah... A lot jealous.
I agree the monorail is a ride
I love taking pictures too as you enter FW some of my favorite from F & G
Beautiful pics from ROL
We love Pandora it’s so pretty but you’re right about the gift shop
That’s 4 parks and 2 resorts, if anyone is counting.
@amazingact21 You will have to get the Evies together on a future trip!
We got into line inside the building and then we didn’t move. We were in a verrrryyy slow moving line, for around 45 minutes. It was not a pleasant wait.
