Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 I'll start Thursday, since I seem to be getting the hang of this. Sarah and I were up and out of our room at ASMovies very early. We put all our stuff back in the car and drove to FW! Carol met us in the overflow lot in the golf cart she was using and drove us to the marina. Thank you, Carol! I didn't get Carol's picture, but here is our boat driver and some pictures from our boat ride to the Contemporary. At the Contemporary, we saw this cute duck family. And a monorail! And our shadow! Eventually, we made it to our destination. We had arrived just before the Rope Drop Show, but well toward the back of the crowd. Here are some pictures taken as we went to our first ride. We were headed to Peter Pan. If you can get there shortly after rope drop, the stand-by line is entertaining and goes quickly. Later in the day, I would want a FastPass. From there, we headed to our first FastPass, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. I will pause here while I figure out how to download the Memory Maker photos to my phone.

fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 You are doing a good job Marty. While I have no photos to share, if it wasn't for the WWW my hybrid would, probably, still be needing the new floor. We are such procrastinators. So thanks to WWW we won't be scrambling in the heat of July to make it do for our trip then. I had help from the DH, taking advantage as much as I can. He needed to be at check-in anyway so he helped with the set up too. Carol was in camp across the road from us, Marty and Sarah were in MK and I don't remember where Mo and Nicole had headed off to. Got set up, DH left and Carol said 'do you want to go looping?' you betcha, so we did. Jen, of course Yvonne is a perfect angel, didn't she say so?

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 I'd better get hopping. Thursday evening after I finished up some work and was able to put OUT OF OFFICE on my email until Monday afternoon, Gretchen and myself headed to Magic Kingdom to join Marty and Sarah. As we entered Magic Kingdom, they were doing the flag lowering ceremony with a Veteran. I had actually never seen one in it's entirety before, so we decided to watch. It was a beautiful ceremony. I had tears running down my face. We then started wandering MK, and was going to meet up with Marty and Sarah near Dumbo. We then headed for Small World Then some silliness as we were deciding where to go for dinner. We took an air conditioning break inside Gaston's Then a quick spin on Little Mermaid Then we managed to grab a seating at Skipper's Cantina for dinner The bread and honey was amazingly yummy I had dumplings Gretchen's steak salad I've forgotten what this was Mac and Cheese Then we worked our way back to the campsite and called it a nite!

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Friday was a non park day. Did some laundry, waited on Jen and Yvonne to arrive, and after they got there that evening and set up, we went to Trails End, ordered a Giddy Up and Go, and hung out at the camper till all the adventurous heavy duty park hounds got back. I'll let Jen and Yvonne tell about their arrival. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

momof3kids-Yvonne 594 Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I had to work on Thursday and didn't get to Jen's until after 9pm. The ride from my work to her house was uneventful. Thankfully the accident that was causing an hour plus backup due to a tractor trailer overturning was cleared by the time I drove through the area. After visiting for a bit we called it a night because we knew we has a long drive ahead of us the next day. Little did we know truly how long.

Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Okay, this has gotten to Friday night and I am still at Thursday morning. I better luck into high gear. Here are our Mine Train Ride photos: From there, we went to Big Thunder Mountain. It showed a 10 minute wait when we arrived which seemed very accurate. The wait was listed as 25 minutes when we got off! Next was Splash Mountain. People who had been behind us on BTMRR used a FastPass on Splash. They were in the car behind us, though we went stand-by. Ride photo: Sarah's "after" photo: Next was Pirates of the Caribbean. We had sometime before our next FastPass so we went to Main Street Bakery for some coffee. Outside, Sarah caught the eye of a PhotoPass Photographer. Then it was time for our Jungle Cruise FastPasses, so we headed back to AdventureLand.

Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 After Jungle Cruise, we wandered toward Pinocchio Village House for lunch. Photos taken on the way. For lunch, we split a Caprese Flatbread Pizza and a Caesar Side Salad. Oops! No pood form. Sorry!! Here are some pictures from the restaurant. I'm not sure why, but my next pictures are from the Big Top. I'm getting tired but hope to add more tomorrow!

I thought they only sold burnt mud, $5 "milkshakes", and snotty attitude? Katman1356...Jason 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On the plus side, I'm finding that most Starbucks now have the blonde roast brewed and available full-time, and that stuff is not only good, but it got me home from NJ. But I'm jumping ahead and I haven't even gotten through Thursday yet. With work shenanigans, I'm probably going to fall way behind this week, but I'll jump back in when I can. Besides, it'll be fun to confuse the bejinkies out of people by hopping back and forth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 After some shopping at the Big Top, we headed for our 3rd FP+, Space Mountain. As soon as we had ridden, Sarah book another FP+ at Haunted Mansion. Some pics as we walked that way. We were a little early, so we browsed in the Christmas Shop. From Haunted Mansion. PhotoPass pictures near HM. I hope to add another update soon! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Once done with HM, Sarah booked us a FP+ for Buzz Lightyear. With that booked, we went to get some ice cream before the Festival of Fantasy Parade. While looking for a spot to watch the parade, we saw the Dapper Dans. Then it was parade time!

Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 After the parade, we headed for Buzz and our 5th FP+ of the day. What we needed next was a relaxing ride on the People Mover. What we got was a ride marred by cheerleaders a few cars back screaming and hollering through the whole ride. We asked if we could go around again and were told that was fine. Unfortunately, the cheerleaders went around again as well. The worst was releasing when we were all getting off that they did have a chaperone with them who just ignored their selfish behavior. But we were at Disney! And around this time, we were joined by a friend's daughter, Gina. Gina recently started working for the Mouse. She mostly works at DHS. She had the afternoon off, so she dressed to match our DisneyBounds and joined us for the rest of the day. The three of us headed into Carousel of Progress and had a blast. :d Correcting what I posted earlier. Next, we rode Dumbo, after which Carol and Gretchen joined us! Then the 5 of us rode Little Mermaid. Carol also has pictures from a visit to Gaston's, which I had forgotten. We all went and rode Small World together, and then had dinner at the Skipper's Canteen. I had the falafel. Just about the time we were leaving the restaurant, Sarah and I realized the Main Street Electrical Parade had started. We ran to FrontierLand thinking everyone would join us. However, Carol and Gretchen decided to head out. Gina watched from a different area, but we met up in the Hub (not an easy task!!) for Celebrate the Magic and Wishes. I will Post those photos later, as I promised to take Rebekah and Jeff to the library now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
