Hey, that heater is the same as what we're using in the tent right now! It really heats it up in here! I think it's great that your kids are running races too!

Dim sum looks good. How was it?

To be honest, I wasn't that crazy about it. But not because it was nasty. My mom was Japanese and made all of that stuff when I was growing up (the steam buns, gyoza, siu mai), so I went in expecting it to taste just like her recipes. It didn't taste the same as hers, so it threw me off a bit. I think Kenneth liked it okay, though. :) If I hadn't grown up eating that pretty often, I think I would have had a different opinion.

That panini is an awesome idea! I can't wait to hear more!

Magic Kingdom:

Stupid crane ruins all of the castle pictures.

Citrus swirl!

Catching a monorail to head over to epcot.....

.......because we really needed lunch at Katsura Grill, in Japan.

Curry udon:

Curry rice:

Veggie roll:

Just chilling in Japan now.

It was pretty chilly earlier, but we've taken our jackets off now. I will be glad to have the jackets when it gets dark later.

Headed to Magic Kingdom this afternoon after sleeping in and taking a long, hot shower!

Oh, and here we are on the slowest boat on earth!

They must have put a hold on getting 1500 done. They took the signs down and nothing's been done yet.

Love the safari pictures!!! and your puppies are too cute :)

We were really lucky with the safari. We saw more animals than we usually get to see. Maybe it's because it was in the afternoon (we usually do it first thing in the morning)? And those pups - we love them more than words could describe. For the sake of my allergies I shouldn't be hugging and kissing them (especially after Buzz rolls around like that), but I just can't stop myself!

It wasn't as good as I was hoping. I think it's because I grew up with a mother that made all of that stuff on a regular basis and these just don't compare to what she used to make.

We should have stayed at the Fort for wishes.....Magic Kingdom's a little too busy for my liking!

We went to Yak and Yeti for lunch.

We also went by to see Buzz and Dakota, afterwards.

Nice. Up to the minute, well alomst TR. cool

It's hard for me to do a trip report when I get home. It's kind of hard to keep up, doing it live, but much better than trying to recall things later. :)

I've never heard of that game either.

Man, my sister is so into it! I had to grab a Tsum for her too.

I'm not actually a huge fan of Universal... but I do think the Dr. Seuss area is cute, along with the animal shows and (I think) a Curious George water/sprinkler area on the other side :)

The Dr. Seuss area is very cute! I love all of the colors there. We don't really do anything in that area, but I always feel the need to take a picture of it! :)

We did photos with the grinch- he was HILARIOUS!

I bet he was good!

Great way to start vacation!

I Probably Missed It But Are You There Now?

Yes. We leave Tuesday morning. :D

This morning, our plans are to go to Animal Kingdom. We woke up at around 3:00 am because of the wind and rain. We checked the hourly forecast and decided we should probably wait until after park opening to head over to the park. I went into the Disney app and changed our first fastpass (Safari at 9:00 am) to about 12:25. So the earliest we have to be there to cash in a fastpass is around 11:00 (the end of the Everest fastpass). This means we can wait until after the rain is done to head out.

And, thank goodness for our toilet in here! There were some periods of heavy rain and really strong winds. I really did not want to trek over to the comfort station in that! :D

Looks like a fun day! Never heard of that game. 

It's a cute game - I just didn't really get into it too much.

We went back to Universal Studios today.

We rode Despicable Me first.

And we rode Transformers.

We also rode the Mummy, which is an awesome ride - but at that point, I was feeling some motion sickness. I needed to chill out on the rides a bit, so we headed back to Diagon Alley, in the Wizarding World.

We needed a snack so we went to the ice cream shop and enjoyed our ice cream, while looking over Diagon Alley.

We then got on the train and headed over to Hogsmeade, in Islands of Adventure. I was feeling a little bit better at this point (ice cream always does the trick), so we rode Flight of the Hippogriff.

We headed out after riding that.

We needed to head over to Downtown Disney, before heading back to camp. Anyone familiar with the Disney Tsum Tsum game? I first heard of it from my sister and then she got all of her friends hooked on the game. Well, one of those friends needed a Snow White Tsum (she's doing a Tsum Christmas tree this year) and she never got a chance to look for one when she was here last week. So Kenneth and I needed to see if Once Upon a Toy still had them. We also wanted some Earl of Sandwich today. Here's the display of Tsums.

They had Snow White and the dwarfs as well. We went over to the Earl and got some food to go. We decided to get sandwiches for lunch and wraps for dinner. For lunch I had the avocado BLT and Kenneth had the Original. Dinner tonight will be a chicken caesar wrap for Kenneth and a chicken bacon avocado wrap for me.

That's Not Bad At All. Looks Like A Beautiful Ride Too.

It's a very pretty trail; peaceful too!

If you're lucky you will see a deer or two and maybe some turkeys.

We've seen a deer on that trail before, but none this time. And I looked and looked. We are seeing lots of deer by the road. We saw about five on our way out this morning. I just love them. Last night after eating at Trail's End, we were waiting on a bus. Someone said something about a deer and then some brat went chasing after it. Poor thing ran for it's life! I secretly wished it would turn around and chase him!

How Long Did It Take You To Ride From Your Campsite TO FW?

We timed it coming back and from where we parked the bikes (at Wilderness Lodge) to our campsite was 15 minutes (not pedaling very fast).

We bought a couple bags at Walmart the other day, just because we were already there. I think the stuff you buy in the stores is better than the ice machines anyways - I just think if they're going to have ice machines at the comfort stations, they should make sure they're working. :)

Love the HP pics. We will be visiting it in June and I can't wait! Your dogs are cute. :)

Thanks! I hope you have a great time in June! They did a fantastic job with the Harry Potter stuff!

Love 1500!!!  We were in 1520 marathon weekend.  We had been in 1520 before and it is our favorite - lots of privacy but still near the bus.  Enjoy!

We were looking at the sites on that side the other day. They do seem like they would be very private!

Now they need to get the ice machines to take cards or better yet MBs.

I'd just be happy if they kept the ice machines all working!
