Momof6....aka Marty

Here are the pictures from Celebrate the Magic and Wishes, as well some late night castle photos the PhotoPass Photographer took.

We finally said good night to Gina and the Magic Kingdom and took a boat back to the campground. Carol was very sweet and meet us with the golf cart and took us to our car. There was a spot for us to park at the campsites, so we didn't have to schlep our luggage from the overflow lot. Gretchen was an amazing hostess and made us very comfortable in her site right next to the comfort station. Pretty soon, I pulled my bandanna down over my eyes and was fast asleep.

Great stuff, Marty!!!
I especially love these 2 photos.  :)

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.

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!

Next up: Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Not sure how to edit out the repeat photo.

Done! I am becoming a Tapatalk pro! Lol

Okay, let's see if I do better using Tapatalk.

After some quick pictures as we walked to the bus stop at ASMovies, Sarah and got on a bus and headed for Disney Springs. After buying some silly socks - which my 9yo loves and which I dearly hope there are no pictures of me wearing - we decided to look for dinner. The plan had been to eat food I brought from home. That seldom happened this weekend.

Some photos along the way.



We then decided to have dinner at Portabello.



More photos from after dinner.



Eventually, we took a bus back to the All Star Resorts. We were in the Love Bug section.



I saw a bunny!



We went to bed early because we had a big day planned for Thursday!

More pictures from ASMovies. (My first trip report using my phone is not going well.)


Yay!  That is all my pictures from ASMo. 
 
 
 

Here, hopefully, are more photos from All Star Movies Resort. 



 

Most of the items I have that say Disney on them were bought at my local thrift store.  But they make me think of WDW and give me joy, so i love them. :)

When MGM first opened We use to watch the fireworks from outside the park.  No crowds then and easy to beat them to the car.

I just spent 20 minutes figuring out that Jellyrolls is about .6 mile from the viewing spot outside DHS.  Yes, i could have spent that time correcting schoolwork or folding laundry.  But a girl has to have priorities!!

Perhaps an evening on the Boardwalk is in order!  I have always wanted to go to Jellyrolls, not to mention Beaches and Cream. :)
