Oh that's so nice - thank you! I was hoping it wouldn't be too confusing! And I definitely take way more pictures than Trevor does. But thank you for reading! And yes - definitely having a great dayI really like your report with the dual experiences on the same day in different parks! It’s fun to read (albeit for sure was more fun to experience ) Looks like you are both having good days so far!
That's right! I love how you're switching between your and Trevor's daysPeople who are wrong, that's who!
That's a really good wait for Hagrid's!Trevor ended up waiting about 30 minutes for Hagrid's and ended up in the sidecar vs the bike, but he still enjoyed it. And by the time he got off it was posting 120 minutes, so at least he got on pretty quickly!
So lucky! I was so caught off guard, I didn't know they had put a hatbox ghost in WDW, I barely had time to get my camera out when we went by.Also, I got lucky - the ride stopped when I was in a good spot to see the Hatbox Ghost!
Congats!!As always, my goal was to be a galactic hero. And this time....it happened! I got up to like 800,000 and then the ride stopped here:
Whoa - that's extra talent!Maxed out both guns!!!!
How cool! I was going to ask if you got 2 stickers, one for each side you maxed outYay! Sometimes they have stickers, but today I guess they were out. I was so excited.
We never saw Peter Pan out and about, I bet he is a fun meet!Peter Pan himself was even out meeting and greeting, but the line was closed so I just grabbed a quick picture in passing.
aw thank you!That's right! I love how you're switching between your and Trevor's days
LOL I wish - that's more a function of being stuck there for long enough time!Whoa - that's extra talent!
I would imagine! He's one of the ones we've also never met. Someday!We never saw Peter Pan out and about, I bet he is a fun meet!
Right? I was so surprised that they thought it was a walkthrough. Like I get folks not wanting to do the crazy level of planning some of us *cough cough me* enjoy, but like...wouldn't you at least want to know which rides are thrill rides vs not? Just totally flabbergasted. I hope they enjoyed the ride though!I also like the split day/experiences! Very fun.
I… am a little shocked there are people who don’t know HM is a ride! It’s one of the older ones! It’s not new! A quick search on the internet will tell you everything!
Or maybe I take after my mom with wanting to prep, because when I was talking about the research I was doing and explaining Genie+ and everything, she said “when you were a kid we only had the Unofficial Guide to Disney World!”
Which means though that she DID plan (and in fact I remember the prep she did with me to get me feeling brave enough to go on it, and I don’t think she’d ever been herself).
But I’m just flabbergasted about this in particular. Haunted Mansion as a walkthrough!
That was a good eye to see the character attendant and get in line!The stepsisters came out almost immediately after the parade, and I was second in line!
I’ve still never met the stepsisters, they are on my list too. They seem like a lot of fun.They were hilarious.
Never apologize for pictures - it’s fun to see all the Christmas decorations!More Jungle Cruise queue photos. I'd say sorry, but I'm not, not really.
That’s a fun thing to be known for!When I first took the job and I had to run the office hours, there was a lot I wasn't able to answer right away (had to have my team do some research, etc), so as a way to kind of fill time/apologize, I started sharing a dad joke each office hour and it became a THING. People randomly message me dad jokes now, so... *shrugs* good thing I like them!
What a fun day! It’s awesome you both got to do the things you really wanted to do and fun to read about your days bouncing back and forth. Even though he beat you slightly it sounds like you both timed it well to meet up around the same time! Beautiful art at Disney Springs!So yea, that was our day! It was our first real separate day (since when we'd done this in August it was cause I was in my class), but it worked out well for both of us. Trevor got to do everything he wanted, except the one show that kept getting canceled because the stage was wet, and I had awesome fastpass luck and got to see the shows at Animal Kingdom
Nah, you didn't get behind, I just posted a BUNCH yesterday. I'm trying to finish up this trip report before we go in May (though that still puts mean behind 'cause i haven't even started our Jan trip report!) - I was going to be further ahead but then I had a whole bunch of real life stuff come up, so now my goal is just to finish this report before May.Goodness, I got behind!
I appreciate your corn dog feedback - I’ve never paid attention to corn dogs but my daughter LOVES them. It’s good to have a go-to spot to get one!
I have a modification question: if you attempt to modify a Genie+ selection and don’t see anything you like, are you able to cancel it and retain your original choice and time? Or if you try to switch times are you stuck with the new time?
I’m thrilled you were able to get a nearly immediate ride on Haunted Mansion - especially considering Little Mermaid had a 45-minute line (wow!). You really know how to work Genie+ to your advantage and got on SO many great rides.
I’d love to try Geyser Point at some point but don’t think it will fit on my upcoming trip. Your burger and your drink look very tasty.
I’d also love to see Animal Kingdom at night! I love both your and Trevor’s nighttime pictures. I’m sorry you lost the race to the resort but guacamole is always a good consolation prize.
We both really did - it was a new experience, but definitely a good one. And I love the art at Disney Springs too! So good.What a fun day! It’s awesome you both got to do the things you really wanted to do and fun to read about your days bouncing back and forth. Even though he beat you slightly it sounds like you both timed it well to meet up around the same time! Beautiful art at Disney Springs!
The stepsisters are fun just to watch, even if you don't interact with them - may be a good way to help your daughter get accustomed to them? But I'm also 100% in favor of you meeting them by yourself while she hangs with Daddy, or even watches!That sounds like an excellent day for both of you! Glad it worked out that you both got to do the things you wanted.
I've read about so many fun interactions with the stepsisters--my daughter isn't too keen on them just from the movie but next time we go I'll have to push her a little to try a meet with them. (Or, if she still doesn't want to, I can go by myself while she hangs with Daddy. Ha!)
