Glad everyone is following along! We just got out of the great movie ride and on the way to star tours for #3. The park is virtually empty. We are meeting friends for muppets and star tours again after they are done at disney jr.
Still no rain, in fact the sun just started shining as iMm typing...
Glad the weather is not as bad as predicted. Loving the live reports - keep 'em coming! I feel like I'm right there with you!
Great Movie ride is my favorite at DHS...thanks for the reports
Star tours is WALK ON!!!! Less than 2 minutes to from gettin in line to the time the doors open to board.
Ydd is sleeping so, odd has riden 4 times. Dh and I are alternating w her. This is AWESOME.
It started to rain when I got on w/ odd about 10 minutes ago. But, it stopped already.
She's riding right now w/dh and in a few minutes, it'll be my turn again!
Last night was laundry night! Stared raining about 6:45 pm and dhs closed at 7.
We rode star tours 8 times!
On the way to ak now. A bit later than I was hoping but, we hope to be here until after lunch. Then we will hop to mk for the rest of the day... 'MSEP, MM&Y and Wishes :cloud9:
Pulling up in our ak parking spot... thank you mickey handed parking director!
Train just pulled in and we're boarding for rafiki's. Haven't done this in years. Kids have never been. They've got their autograph books in hand and are ready! :blush:
I am so glad the parks aren't that crowded for you and you're getting so much fun stuff done! Hope character meets at Rafiki's are a success!
We saw Jiminy Cricket when we were there. Rafiki was also there, but we didn't get a pic with him:( Have fun, that is one of our favrorite places.
I have re-scheduled in a brief trip to AK just to go on this Rafiki trail.... never been on it before and if Jiminey Cricket is at the end... its a MUST!
Safari was awesome this morning... close up of many animals. Family of giraffe were so close to the jeep that if I stretched enought, I could touch it.
Went to rafiki and saw Pocahantas- great interaction w the kids. And.......Jiminie Crickit was there!
Flame tree was better than I remember... went to dinosaur, triceratop spin, tough to be a bug and now we are leeting the kids run wild in the boneyard.
On our way to Mk after a wardrobe change at home.
Already back in our kidani villa. I love how close it is to ak and how quick we got home. I know i'll love BLT next year (hopefully we'll get in at the 7 month window.
Ydd is napping soundly, odd is having some alone time in the bathroom and I've got my feet propped up on the balcony, sipping rootbeer from my refillable mug w/ dh. :cloud9:
Dh went for a refill on his coke and he's missing. Probably sitting around the campfire watching some animals.
We now have 2 kids snoring and will wake them up from their power nap in 15 minutes or so. After a change into princess dresses, we'll take the bus to MK. Looks like we've decided on good ol casey's hotdog and eggrolls if I can find it for dinner. We'll be meeting our friends for a couple quick rides and then plop our bottoms down for the parade.
On the bus to MK. After waiting at the bus stop for about 10-15 minutes, we decided to change into warmer clothes. Humidity is gone, so it is actual temps. In fact a bit cooler with the wind. I am no Strmchsr but, I do know my wind chill! :D
Cool wind and I feel more equipt to deal with this. The kids have all lighted trinkets required for fireworks and night parade. I have my package of 25 glow in the dark necklaces to pass out to my friends and parade neighbors.
I also brought a package of tissues because I am a total baby once the lights dim and the first burst of light explodes. I'm getting all choked up just typing about it. :cloud9:
Omg... Mickey just waved to me!!! Msep is on!
I AM THE SPOT SAVING NATZI... I WILL NOT MOVE, I WILL NOT RELENQUISH MY SPOT FORYOU LAST MINUTE PEOPLE:mad:
Good for you!!! We had that issue at MK on Sat night! People had started sitting down for MSEP at 6pm and then at 7:55, this family tried to push their way in next to us! Luckily my DH was having none of it! The only bummer was that the family on the other side off DD5 decided to stand after sitting for 2hrs waiting for the parade! UGH!!!! I was irritated sitting beside them and having to crane my neck around them to see, but I would have been even more irritated if I had been standing behind them!
Gotta hold your ground at this time of the night! LOL
Loving your trip reports!! Makes me wish I was still there... we've been home for 3 days... :( and I'm ready to go back!
I am loving your reports. It's almost like we are there with you. Where are we going tomorrow?;)
It was very windy tonight and tinkerbell didn't make it to wishes :(
I still cried though.
It never gets old. LOVE M,M& Y!!! How cool is that. The absolute best was the rocket blasting off, going through the solar system. The end when Walt is doing his dedication.... well, stick a fork in me as i'm done.
Crowd much higher than touringplans crowd tracker but, that was to be expected since wishes ran only 2 nights tnis week.
I am a spectromagic kinda girl....
One thing that I have been dying to try since we've been coming was an eggroll from Adventure Land. This was my year. After 11 years, I finally ate one... ok, two.
Ok, tomorrow is MK all day w/ dinner at crystal palace. Also a first for us. Oh, and its my actual birthday.:party:
So, I guess we're ALL going to MK tomorrow at least in this trip report.
Let me be the first to wish you :birthday:! Enjoy your day and keep up the good work on the trip reports. Just don't be an Aunt Kari and stop mid-trip.
THANK YOU FOR THE BIRTHDAY GREETING!Quote:

First order of business? That ever elusive pink Dumbo.....
