CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Great trip report so far! Wonderful pictures. I hope your mother is doing better. Thank you! We'll know more about mom when she goes to the retinal specialist tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Rennie, get it right... It's Tinker Bill. Gwen, I hope your mom is okay. Love the shot looking up at the castle. I agree that they should post how many chameleons are in the area. Can a cast member find out for us, or is it top secret? BTMRR is Z's FAVORITE! I wish I could figure out how to get a picture of him on it. The problem is that neither of us want to give up riding it with him because he gets so excited. And I'm not sure if there's a good angle.

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Very cool! I hadn't seen the bird either...being entirely too caught up in Sir Tremaine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 There are a total of 10. Wow. Gwen only found half of the chameleons then. Some of them are obviously hidden quite well. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are not all in the little stream area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Monday, November 11 - Part 3 Continuing with more photos while waiting for our BTMRR FP time to arrive: And then our FP time was finally here! We continued on toward our lunch destination. I call these next photos my "Looking Up" series: Almost always Disney does everything flawlessly. Whether I'm looking up, down, right, left, backward, upside down, everything looks perfect. So what the heck is this mesh-covered box? Continuing our walk: We arrived: This was a first for David. There we saw our first Magic Kingdom Christmas tree: Much to David's dismay, sweetened ice tea is difficult, if not impossible, to find at WDW. I think he ordered a Sprite. I started with Minute Maid Light Pomegranate Lemonade. The same thing I kept in my Rapid Fill mug. I love it. Can't get it at home. My entree was the loaded Angus burger minus bread. So good! David ordered the turkey and dressing. He opted out of the green beans because the server said they were crunchy. He got fruit instead. The turkey and dressing were dry but otherwise good. He had to get additional gravy. We split a dessert -- sugar-free raspberry sorbet over strawberries and blackberries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 After enjoying our lunch we continued on to Main Street. Am I taking a picture of the castle? Or of the flowers? On down Main Street. Shhh. Don't tell David. It would ruin it for me. I desperately want him to buy me a balloon -- the red Mickey head within the clear balloon over. It would mean more than buying me a dozen roses, which he very rarely does any more. But it has to be because he wants to, not b/c some tells him I want it. Such a small thing would give me so much joy! More Christmas decorations as we exit: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Great photos, Gwen. My oldest daughter, who is now a sweet tea expert since moving to Alabama, says the sweet tea at the Trail's End drink station is good. Tell David. And you women need to give us poor guys a clue once in a while. How's David supposed to know that a balloon would make you so happy? TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I am now wondering whether I should buy INC a balloon next time we are in the MK. I think she'd prefer a tiara. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DramaMama .......... Janet 75 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 So enjoying all the beautiful pictures! You have such a good eye for photography! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 There are a total of 10. Thanks for the info! Wow. Gwen only found half of the chameleons then.Some of them are obviously hidden quite well.TCD We only looked in the stream area. But we spent several minutes looking. I wont give away all of the locations, but I will say some of them you have to walk around the area to find. They are not all in the little stream area. TCD has pictures in his March 2013 TR of some not in the stream area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How's David supposed to know that a balloon would make you so happy?TCD David found the sweet tea at TE. He filled his mug with it every day. I think he also got it at WCC. But I don't think he found sweet tea at all in the parks. As for the balloon, I have told him in the past. Not gonna tell him again. I am now wondering whether I should buy INC a balloon next time we are in the MK. I think she'd prefer a tiara. A tiara is more romantic! Great pictures. The food looks okay, but I'm not going to fret if I never get there. Thanks. The food was better than it looks. So enjoying all the beautiful pictures! You have such a good eye for photography! Thank you! Just realized I forgot to give an update on mom yesterday. She went to the retina specialist yesterday. They ran a lot of tests and found no damage to her retina.

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Monday, November 11 - Part 4 Pictures on the way back to the fort: As always, very sad to see River Country deteriorating even more: Approaching the dock: After feeding Kassie and taking her for a long walk, we went looping. We were finally able to see Karla. Here she is with Aiden: And with Parker: Next we visited Mama, Rita, Linda, and Ed. They were getting ready to leave the next morning. And a great pic of Mama: We drove back past the Meadow Trading Post. We went to the Settlement to fill our Rapid Fill mugs (these saved us a ton of money, by the way). David's was always filled with tea or caffeinated coffee, and mine was always full of Minute Maid Light Pomegranate Lemonade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 And I've discovered that Disney photogs take unfocused, crooked pics just like me! In several instances I was standing beside the Disney photog and took the same pic they did, and mine are better! The one plus of getting the PP+ is that I can be in the pics along with my family. But maybe that's a minus since I look so bad in many of the pics ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I am not in many of the photos because I too don't think I take a good photo. I have a very bad habit of blinking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a very bad habit of blinking. Annie, I take bad photos too. I hate all of them. But just jump in there! You never know what will happen. And it's better to have a bad photo of you with the family than a good family photo without you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
