I just wanted to pop in and say sorry. I won't be able to finish the TR before my pilgrimage because I leave TOMORROW. I would like to spend some time with my family, especially my mom, since I'll be gone for 6 weeks. See you when I come home! (Here's to hoping I can get to the Disney Store in Madrid before my flight home!!!)

***I wish the Dis would get some new fonts... these ones are so boring! When I am excited, Arial is not the font I want to use, it doesn't give me the excited feel!

Thanks, the trip was incredible! Oh, if you haven't seen FOTLK in a while, you need to go back! You'd have fun in there with your camera! Hahaha

 

[DisneyFreak06]

After FOTLK, I was on my way out of the park. Blanche was going to meet me at MK after a bit. It was 12:30 and I was getting hungry, so I had to find food somewhere between FOTLK and MK.

And the bus stop info:

Can you guess where I went for lunch?

IMG_9971 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_9972 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

My dessert was just ok. I didn't really like the filling as much as I would have liked.

IMG_9973 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

This was decent though:

IMG_9974 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

And here's a hint, in case you haven't guessed. (I know, up until now it really could have been anywhere!)

IMG_9975 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I was at the Contemporary and I found the five legged goat!

IMG_9976 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_9977 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I was taking the monorail to the MK.

IMG_9981 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

But first, I would get off at the TTC and look for the lost and found.
IMG_9982 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_9983 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I went into the Lost and Found and asked about lens caps. She pulled out a huge bag full and I found one that fit my lens! I don't think it was mine, but it worked. She said to stop in any time I lose a lens cap because most people don't come looking for them. I was excited to have one again! I should have gone there earlier in the trip.

I decided to take the boat across. I'm trying to remember if this was my first time or not. I think I took one over with Blanche earlier in the trip, but at least it was my first time on the ferry at some point on the trip.

I would love to stay at the Grand Floridian again. We barely spent any time there when we went. Three nights was too short!

Wow 6 weeks in Spain, how exciting.
Love the CR and Contempo cafe
We always try to ride the ferry at least once on our trips.
Would love to see some pictures from your Spain trip as well.

It's funny how rarely you ride the ferry if you stay on property, whereas people who stay off the resort use it regularly! It was fun, and different.

I will share some pictures later, but as I shoot raw, it takes me a while to get through them! I did like my little point and shoot, but I definitely missed my DSLR!

You're back!!!!

By the time I got through bag check, it was past 2:30 and my goal for MK was the Festival of Fantasy parade. I decided to try to catch it just as it began, so I headed on past Main Street and through Adventureland.

I stood behind a rope waiting for the parade to start. I chatted with a lovely young mother with a 2 year old. The mother had back issues and wasn't supposed to carry her daughter or hold her while standing. She said that obviously she does sometimes, but the doctors have all told her not to. She didn't have a stroller for her, and when the little girl was down on the ground, she put her arms up to me, so I held her for a bit. She was just a cutie! It felt extremely hot, and we could not sit on the pavement, and I could feel the sweat dripping off me as I stood there. Icky! But it was worth it to see and to photograph that parade!!

I just joined your TR yesterday and have been binge reading. Looking forward to reading the rest, thank you for sharing all these awesome pictures!!

Welcome! I have done that many,many times! I love that you call it binge reading, what a great term! I never thought of that. Thanks for reading along, I'll be sharing more pictures soon!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

I was right at the beginning of the parade, and right at the rope, so it was nice for pictures. Not as nice as with the Castle as a backdrop, but considering that I had waited less than 15 minutes to see the parade, it was decent! Sorry, just skip the next few posts if you don't like lots of parade pictures!

6 days! Wow... so jealous! I won't get another trip in until at the earliest next summer. I will try to finish my TR before you go then!

Beautiful! You really capture the wonders of this parade! I think being at the beginning like you were is a good spot.

Thanks! I love taking pictures of this parade, it is so beautiful and colourful! (You do too, I think I remember that from your TR?) It was fun being at the beginning because others were still watching the parade and I was free to go see/do something else!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

I don't think I went on Splash Mountain, but I walked by and took this shot.

IMG_0298 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I decided to watch Philharmagic. I know I likely didn't see it in 2014 because my niece was not into the 3D movies, so it was probably a few years at least, since I'd seen it.

I was just wandering around a little bit, trying to get ahold of Blanche to see if she was coming to meet me or not. I still had another park to see for my Four Parks in one Day day, and I didn't want to miss her.

One my 7DMT ride?

IMG_0309 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

NOPE! I guess I really could have, but I don't usually get in a line if it says anything higher than 40 minutes. I prefer 30 and under.

Yes, I will, thank you very much:

IMG_0328 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

IMG_0330 by disneyfreak0306, on Flickr

I don't remember what I got (and my notes are not right here beside me), except for a big Mickey shaped chocolate chip cookie with dipped ears. It was just ok.

You can never have too many pictures of that parade. It's just so fabulous.
