Well, it's high time I continued on.

The day before, we had discovered that MK was opening at 8am instead of 9am, so we decided to arrive early and start the day with a few Fantasyland attractions!!

Arriving at the Magic Kingdom!!!

Well, to answer that all important question, here we go!!!

We had some time before our next meet, so we decided to all go on the jungle cruise!!

Now, when you have a group of 27, you get your own boat!!

Lots of fun ensued.

This poor skipper didn't know what hit her!!

We knew all the jokes, plus a few we made up ourselves. And we refused to get off when it was over!!! We "occupied Jungle Cruise"!!!!

A few pics

Geez, I log out to bake cookies and you have done crazy updates! Finally all caught up.

Whoever that lady is climbing through the Pooh cue gets 2 thumbs up. Fun stuff!

You on the other hand, looked bored to tears in Space Mountain. :rofl2:

Thanks for all the updates :bravo:

Great updates, Carol!

It's amazing to see all the work going on for the Fantasyland expansion.

I saw that the Carousel has construction walls around it.

It wasn't like that Thanksgiving week.

TCD

Yeah, well you know a construction wall can appear overnight and disappear just as quickly. They are moving along!!

Great update Carol. I love all your pictures! I don't know the answer to your question but I bet it was a lot of fun!!

Thanks doodle!

That was great, Carol. It looks like y'all had a blast! Thanks for sharing it with us. :)

Thanks!! And after viewing the video a couple of times, I realize, it was a LOT more fun in person!! It was most definitely one of those you had to be there moments!!

Priorities!!!! Who gave you permission to leave FF??!! And just for that, here comes another update!!!!

That poor JC captain!! :rofl2: She probably could have sat down and let one of you take the wheel.

Yeah, you couldn't hear much over us yahoos, but she had pretty much lost all control after about 30 seconds!!!

Now after finally leaving the Jungle Cruise, we headed over to the Enchanted Tiki Room!! We said hello to a new(old) friend, and then it was time to say goodbye to Snow White's Scary Adventures. We try every year to experience new stuff together and hit stuff that is about to go away together.

100_5014.jpg

100_5015.jpg

And that is all I've got picture wise for Sunday. After Snow White, about 5 of us headed over to Grand Floridian Cafe for a delightful dinner. We spent a couple of hours with good conversation, good food, good drinks!! (The camera had died for the day at that point).

After dinner, I walked over to the Poly and enjoyed the Fireworks and Electrical Water Pageant with friends on the Poly Beach. We also caught a glimpse of Magic Memories and You. It was all quite pretty!! Afterwards, we found one of the bars at the Poly and enjoyed a drink or two and lots of fun conversation!! I didn't stay as long as most of them as I had to get back over to MK to get a bus over to POP!

Coming next, our final organized day at RADP XVI!!!
