Interesting when it gets to that phase. In one hand, you feel a little jealous. On the other hand... FREEDOM!!!!!Alex and I weren’t aware of it, but this was the beginning of a new trend. Nana was much cooler to hang out with than Mom and Dad.
I always love the monorail loop through the park. I despise the second bag check. It's so stupid! Sounds like the new changes to the entrance will fix that though.After an entertaining circle around Epcot – a view that’s worthy of its own ride during Flower and Garden – we were dropped off and through the second bag check. Oh, Epcot monorail, how I love your two security checkpoints….
Well, at least they let you get far enough into the park to access the restrooms... they weren't being so kind a couple of weeks later.The park was half an hour from opening but luckily the Cast Members let us through the tapstiles (after my mom activated her ticket) and put us in a holding pattern near the bathrooms by Spaceship Earth. Thank goodness for that! I would’ve been in trouble had they not with my overabundance of morning coffee.
That's awesome!He was a really nice guy and he put the meet and greets on the right foot. We were smiling and laughing and enjoying ourselves before Mickey Mouse ever came into sight.
I definitely hate the loss of any of the street performers. They add something unique that no regular CM can and they are a huge part of what makes Disney special. That said, a good CM truly is a part of the entertainment.I know there’s controversy over the whole “The Cast Members are our entertainment” line and I am firmly in the camp of those mad they got rid of the street performers, but this Cast Member definitely fit that bill.
I like it! 2 happy boys!He gets a selfie with Landon in front of the ride entrance every time:
Looking good!Landon was in the mood for big wheels this day:
2013... was that the old version? I know it had to be around that time that it changed, but I don't remember when it was exactly.Fun fact: I have never ridden Test Track with Landon. In fact, the last time I have ridden TT was probably in 2013. It’s one of those rides that’s always low on my priority list and gets the boot during a trip. Maybe when Evie’s tall enough to ride I’ll make my way back on to it…
You're making both of them happy!My mom and I left with Evie in tow, forgetting to inform Alex that our meetup plans had changed.
This, unfortunately, resulted in another grumpy kid, upon discovering his mother wasn’t where she said she would be:
That's what dads are for.Nothing like a Dad grabbing a PP picture when the kid is in a bad mood! That’s one for the photo album!
