Following this report! Looks like such a fun trip! I love seeing other people enjoying their Disney days!
Thanks for following along! I love reading everyones trips as well. And it really is fun to re-live our trips as I write these up.Following this report! Looks like such a fun trip! I love seeing other people enjoying their Disney days!
Sleep at Disney is for suckers! Gotta be up early to be at the head of that rope drop crowd!This was our "plan" for the day. I wanted to make sure we had time to come back and swim, so I said we should try and get there for rope drop. We woke up around 7:00 and slowly got moving. Although Morgan had tried to get up at 5:30AM! I made her go back to sleep!
Love it!And Think photo bombed us... or well Andy specifically...
I'm one of the few who like the change--I'm all for nostalgia and such and i didn't really have a problem with the old scene, but I think the new one is awesome. And especially for kids who notice. I like that Redd gets to be in charge tooOnce we get past that one section, Gwen is totally fine with the ride. And this time, I think she might have actually enjoyed it. And I know there are lots of people who don't like the changed scene.
But take it for this. Unprompted, Gwen said the following statements:
So, I agree that it didn't need to change. But the change is being noticed by little girls! So, take it for that! Gwen has girl power!
- First, she said that this is different than it used to be right?
- Then, she said, I like that the Red Head Lady gets to be in Charge.
That's how you know you have a good Skipper, when you get visible reactions like thatOur Skipper was really funny! He had good timing and a few little extras to add to the regular commentary. I mean look at the guy in this picture, he was full on "oh that was a BAD joke look"
O 2 H!! O 2 H!!Back Side of Water
And the backside of water!
Niiice...you've trained him wellAndy being well trained in my TR needs, took these photos for me before we dug in!
Poor child, having to stop playing with her friend to go to the Magic Kingdom. And that darn Skipper...telling too many jokes!Today I woke up and started writing. Then Skylar, my best friend, called me, so we played Roblox for awhile. But then I had to stop so I could get ready to go to Magic Kingdom. So, I got changed, brushed my teeth and put my ears and magic band on. And then we were off. We took the bus to the front. Then my dad and mom made us taker a picture in front of the flowers in the shape of Mickey Mouse. Then another in front of the castle. After that we headed towards our first ride. And this ride was Pirates of the Caribbean. After that it was Jungle Cruise. The person that took us on the tour was way to chatty, all he did was tell jokes. it was very annoying. So after that was over, we went and got Dole Whips.
The camel spitting can totally catch you off guard, for sure! it's not much, but just enough to surprise you.We went on the carpets during Disney After Hours but had no idea there is sometimes a spitting camel or that the carpets can tip. And that's just fine! Especially in the dark. Maybe we'll brave that feature in the daytime eventually.
I know right? it's a hard life being my kid apparently!Poor child, having to stop playing with her friend to go to the Magic Kingdom. And that darn Skipper...telling too many jokes!

Same here! Ricky went to the gym and then actually - after 18 months - played some basketball with friends outside and then went HIKING!!! But back to mid 40s Monday......Of course I hate when it does this, as it will be 73 today and then 48 on Monday! YUCK!
Back a few years ago we used to always start out either here or Frontierland and it was great; never any crowds and we'd get lots done. Not sure why we changed things up but I want to start going back to it! Although I guess sometimes we still start with BTMRR and the difference is so do 1000 others nowWe decided to head to Adventureland first this time.
I don't know why JC seems to always already have a long line first thing! I get it when it's JINGLE cruise (love it) but regular old JC , while nostalgic, just doesn't seem to warrant always long linesIt was only going to get longer and we have had some bad luck with fast passes on this, So I didn't want to waste on on it.
I really am not a dole whip fan but I like cake and pineapple so Steve and I tried this in Feb. I really liked it! Well I really liked the cake but surprise surprise the dole whip was too sweet for me so I ended up with lots of that left but no cake left. I think the dole whip is the only thing at Disney I've ever found that's too sweet!Andy and I shared the pineapple upside down cake version
Tink always seems to leave a bunch of stuff on the first day! The water bottles I bought last summer when Target had the big Disney line. And I think I had the mad libs leftover from a road trip or something.
My time stamps says 9:00 on the dot that I took this picture. So, not too bad, I guess.
The good thing about coming now, was that all the folks waiting were already heading in, so it wasn't too crowded as we walked.
Look how nice and empty it was! (It didn't stay that way for sure)
So, Gwen got her fill after... (Also, note, that Morgan had no interest in getting wet this early. Add it to the She is becoming a teen column.)
Gwen is not a fan of this ride. And we always drag her on, as I allow the girls to veto (1) ride per trip. And as much as Gwen doesn't like this ride, she has one she hates more.
But take it for this. Unprompted, Gwen said the following statements:

Here is our secret location! It really was quite nice. It was nice and shaded and cool. I have to assume that these have always been here, and we just never noticed them?!?!
Morgan & Gwen
I had Morgan climb up as well, and grabbed a cute photo of them both.
It really was. We used them a lot this trip, and there would always be at least one open.Love it! We discovered those seats a few years ago, too, and we also ate Dole Whips there! A great spot.
It kind of was! They were all good!Look at you guys, getting the variety. This could be the cover photo of a Aloha Aisle blog review. Too funny.
I agree. I like the ride but def wouldn't wait an hour for it. Oh I can't wait to do Jingle cruise version this December!!!!I don't know why JC seems to always already have a long line first thing! I get it when it's JINGLE cruise (love it) but regular old JC , while nostalgic, just doesn't seem to warrant always long lines
For awhile it was always Tomorrowland for us. And while Tomorrowland has crown on me I def perfer Adventureland and Frontierland. Especially to start the day.Back a few years ago we used to always start out either here or Frontierland and it was great; never any crowds and we'd get lots done. Not sure why we changed things up but I want to start going back to it! Although I guess sometimes we still start with BTMRR and the difference is so do 1000 others now
BINGO! She HATES it! Morgan has one as well. But not in Magic Kingdom...I'm guessing it's Haunted Mansion.
Oh I can't wait to do Jingle cruise version this December!!!!
We are going Thanksgiving night till the following Wednesday. So, we will be there just before you guys. Boo.When are you going is December? We're booked for Dec 13-21st but may push back to Mardi Gras.
This pic is so cute!!! I love how Gwen and Andy are almost making the same face
She cracks me up!! LOLDo you see Gwen's just got married button? It's her favorite one...
On our KTTK tour they told us the faces on these boats are supposed to be a nod to Goofy, Donald and Mickey! I never would have noticed that on my own!
We hopped onto the Magic Carpets, as this is a ride we would never get a fast pass for or wait in line for really.

Then we went to Magic Kingdom. I'm too lazy to write how and what we did. So, I'm just writing the rides. First carpets, then pirates, then jungle cruise....
