Hakuna Matata, A Baked Potato! -Oct '17 TR *Completed, New PTR Link*

After that we got in line to meet the Tremaine Sisters! This is one meet my dad always requests (and he doesn't usually ask for much on trips) so this was a must do. As always, they were hysterical!

I love that this is what your father requested!

And I love how this just looks like a crazy meet!

Have you guys done 1900 Park Fare dinner? We have met the step sisters there. And it was great.
 
Hello! I just found your trip report and I love it! It’s looks like you were having so much fun and I love how great your parents are for the PP pictures! My dad is going with us for our upcoming trip and I can’t wait! He hasn’t been since I was 4 (32 years ago!). I’m excited to see the beer flights etc. I think he would really enjoy some of those. Looking forward to reading more our your trip.
 
I don't know if I've ever tried a Lefou's Brew.. I feel like I must have but don't remember it at all! Next time!

Love the pictures of your dad with the Stepsisters! That looks like a fun meet and greet all around!
 


This is such a great picture!

Glad you got to try a new snack; it's a sweet one!

Well, that's adorable. :goodvibes

Hmmm, I'm going with Small World. It was between that or the carousel, but maybe that's just because you guys were closest to it from Philarmagic. I don't why I didn't guess anything outside Fantasyland.:confused3:rotfl:

Thank you!

It's always nice when you can cross something new off the bucket list!

It is pretty adorable! And who am I to deny him his requests!

I will say you were spot on with your reasoning ;)

I love that your dad likes to meet the Tremaines! That’s so adorable.

I played the Wishes soundtrack in the car with my dad once and now he always says “can you play that Wishes music again?”. So maybe there’s still hope to get my parents to Disney one day!

Hmm I’m a terrible guesser but I guess you rode Winnie the Pooh!

I think he likes meeting them because they always give him so much attention :rotfl:

Yasss there's hope! You guys really need to do a family trip!

Thanks for guessing! :goodvibes

I'm glad you liked it! I have it on my list of WDW snacks to try (I keep a running checklist...along with the magic shots and other random stuff I need to remember for future trips!

It was really good! I'm pretty sure I've heard there's a similar version at DL in Cars Land!

The ugly stepsisters have new dresses now! We have always had fun meets with them. I wasn’t sure about Lefou’s brew either but did like it, it is super sweet. I am guessing IASW maybe??

I saw that! They look very fancy now! They are so hysterical to meet :rotfl:

I have noted your guess!
 
I love that this is what your father requested!

And I love how this just looks like a crazy meet!

Have you guys done 1900 Park Fare dinner? We have met the step sisters there. And it was great.

He loves the attention he gets from them! They are always on the hunt for a male companion!

We have not done that dinner! I would love to one day, especially since Lady Tremaine meets there as well! I'm glad to hear a good review of it!

Hi! Thanks for joining in! It was a fun trip for sure :thumbsup2

That's so great that you are bringing your dad along to your next trip. A lot has certainly changed since he was last there, I am sure he is going to love it!

I don't know if I've ever tried a Lefou's Brew.. I feel like I must have but don't remember it at all! Next time!

Love the pictures of your dad with the Stepsisters! That looks like a fun meet and greet all around!

It's nice and refreshing! And I always love frozen/slushy drinks!

Thank you! It was definitely a fun (and funny!) meet!

Cute picture! :cutie: And as for your clamshell all to yourself... welcome to my world :rotfl:


:laughing: I do the same thing! I swear I have a collection of repeats from every single trip ever. I guess we just can't help ourselves!

Haha I did not mind being solo in the clamshell..more room to dance around!

LOL I am glad to hear I am not the only one who does that! It's just a habit I guess! I think it also helps with my notes so I remember what I've done and when I've done it!
 


Day 5, October 25, 2017 - It's A Small World, Be Our Guest, and a stroll to Tomorrowland!

We had time for one more thing before our lunch ADR, so we decided to stay in the area and go on It's a Small World! Alicia and Caroline, you both guessed right! ;) It was11:30 so we got to see the clock come alive!















And we got to see our names on the board at the end which was really cool!



We then went and checked in for our lunch at Be Our Guest. We preordered ahead of time so we wouldn't have to wait in line to do that. We paid and went inside and found a table in the ballroom.











My mom and I both got the turkey sandwich and my dad got the Croque Monsier. And of course I had to get a Grey Stuff cupcake! Everything was delicious!







And of course no visit is complete without a peek in the West Wing.







It was close to 1pm when we finished and we didn't really have anything particular to do in mind at the moment, so we just wandered around a little and ended up walking the path between Storybook Circus and Tomorrowland.









When we got to Tomorrowland, mom and I stopped in the gift shop and used the photobooth machine they have in there. So fun!



Up next...Time for a parade!
 
It was11:30 so we got to see the clock come alive!
Yay! I love it when I time it just right for this :thumbsup2

And of course I had to get a Grey Stuff cupcake!
Of course!

When we got to Tomorrowland, mom and I stopped in the gift shop and used the photobooth machine they have in there.
How fun! Where is this? I'm not sure I remember seeing it :confused3 Probably one of those things that I just breeze past without realizing it. :laughing:
 
Got a lot of catching up to do, and I'm going way back here so some of these comments may not even make sense anymore lol

I'm glad guest services was able to fix the anytime FP issue for you so that you could still get on TSM!

Those outfits at the Halloween Minnie's Dine are FANTASTIC!!! I love every single one of them! And the Daisy interaction is so great. I love getting characters way into their roles.

It's been awhile since we have been through One Man's Dream, but we definitely need to get back in there on our next trip. So much Disney nostalgia. And bonus no wait for Starlord & Groot! I'm sure they will be gone by the time we get back to WDW again, but baby Groot is seriously the cutest.

I really loved the very first Star Wars fireworks they did! The one there now with the projections is just not my fave but I think it's because it's so projection heavy and I'm just not a big Star Wars fan, so seeing scenes from the movies doesn't really do anything for me.

I am really bummed about the loss of the train station welcome show. I'm so glad we saw it last trip, not knowing it would be the last time! But we haven't done the new early opening procedure yet, so I guess I'll reserve judgment fully until we do that. It's a bit sad that those early breakfast reservations aren't as beneficial as they used to be!

Great morning in Fantastyland! It's fun hopping on and off of so many things before the lines build up later in the day.

The meet with the Tremaines looks like a lot of fun! It's funny to look at all of the different expressions on your faces. I love that this is the character meet your dad requested. lol

Ohh that gray stuff cupcake...SO GOOD!!
 

This is an awesome ride photo!!


A clamshell all to myself!

And this too! It's really hard to get the perfect motion blur shot but this is really great!!



I wasn't sure how I'd enjoy it but I ended up really liking it! Would definitely get it again!

I like Lefou's Brew too! It's so refreshing and not too cloyingly sweet.


Aww your dad looks kinda shy. Such a cute pic!

Then we had to go see a family favorite- Philharmagic! Why is this the ONLY picture I ever take and why do I insist on taking it EVERY trip? :rotfl:


I do that too - I take the same pictures of rides all the time. It's like...tradition? :)

And we got to see our names on the board at the end which was really cool!


Waah I've never seen this! Every time I go on, it's not up!


YUM!! I love this cupcake!
 
I love the coordination of your shirt with your parents'. They don't exactly match, but you are all similarly attired!

I agree with the others, that is an adorable picture of you in the clamshell!

I love that your dad had the request to meet the Tremaine sisters. They look like so much fun. That might be the best character gig in the World.

:crazy:
 
Wow! Your pictures in Little Mermaid, Small World and Be Our Guest are terrific!

I forget about the photobooths until I read about them here. I haven't noticed them when I have been out and about and I haven't paid attention to where they are. I think there's one at Boardwalk if I'm not mistaken.



And of course I had to get a Grey Stuff cupcake! Everything was delicious!


Don't believe you...

(Your turn)

:goodvibes
 
Love the photo booth photos! I forget that they are there!

Thank you! I love that certain ones are included with memory maker!

Yay! I love it when I time it just right for this :thumbsup2

Of course!

How fun! Where is this? I'm not sure I remember seeing it :confused3 Probably one of those things that I just breeze past without realizing it. :laughing:

Yes! It was so cute to see!

This one was in the Space Mountain gift shop! I think each park has one that is included with memory maker! It doesn't include the printout but you can have them added to your account which is cool!

Got a lot of catching up to do, and I'm going way back here so some of these comments may not even make sense anymore lol

Don't worry, they make sense! :)

I was really glad I took the few minutes to stop at guest services!

I really enjoy Minnie's Seasonal Dine! I would love to eventually go there for each season!

Sometimes with all the running around it's hard to make time to stop in One Man's Dream, but I'm really glad we did and we got to meet Groot too!

The loss of the train station show is sad! I wasn't sure how I'd feel but I really did like the new procedure and I feel like you still can get some empty-ish castle pics out of it!

We had a really great, laid back morning! And it was a great meet with the Tremaines!

Ugh, I will make a BOG lunch reservation every trip just to get that cupcake!!

This is an awesome ride photo!!

And this too! It's really hard to get the perfect motion blur shot but this is really great!!

I like Lefou's Brew too! It's so refreshing and not too cloyingly sweet.

Waah I've never seen this! Every time I go on, it's not up!

YUM!! I love this cupcake!

Thank you! We had a blast on SDMT and Under the Sea!

I will definitely get a Lefou's Brew again!

The Tremaines always seem to take a liking to him!

Exactly, tradition!!

I hope next trip the Small World board is working for you! It's so cool seeing your name up there!

I love the coordination of your shirt with your parents'. They don't exactly match, but you are all similarly attired!

I agree with the others, that is an adorable picture of you in the clamshell!

I love that your dad had the request to meet the Tremaine sisters. They look like so much fun. That might be the best character gig in the World.

:crazy:

Thank you! We definitely try to coordinate ;)

Thanks, I was enjoying myself!

They are so much fun, and I agree that it must be so fun to "be friends" with them!!

Wow! Your pictures in Little Mermaid, Small World and Be Our Guest are terrific!

I forget about the photobooths until I read about them here. I haven't noticed them when I have been out and about and I haven't paid attention to where they are. I think there's one at Boardwalk if I'm not mistaken.

Don't believe you...

(Your turn)

:goodvibes

Thank you so much!

I had them written in my notes to make sure I checked them out! It's a nice bonus if you have memory maker.

Ask the dishes!! :goodvibes:goodvibes:goodvibes
