BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Hehe... Wish I could sort out posting pics from my phone but you will just have to wait for those. Had great dinner at Raglan Road including the amazing bread and butter Pudding. OMGHeaded to MK late last night and caught soft opening of new Fantasyland! Under the Sea was a walk on. Great Theming all around. The new area is really pretty at night and fits in well with the area around it. Gastons Tavern is very cute but really small! Going to be a zoo when it's busy. Missed out on checking out Be Our Guest by a few minutes. Hopefully we'll get another chance before the crowds start coming in for Turkey Day. We were all too full from dinner to try anything but it smelled yummy. MK was really quiet last night. Lots of walk ons. Unfortunately IASW, HM and Splash were closed for "maintenance" We bugged out about 12:30. Headed to HS in a bit for Fantastic lunch package and Osborne Lights.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Thanks for the update, Mo.Enjoy those light crowds, because it's going to start getting packed.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Fort day! May go check out the Disney outlet later. HS was a bit crowded yesterday. Had to FP TOT - 60 minute wait-and skipped TSM. Got good seats at Fantasmic with dinner pkg. Osborne Lights were super. We haven't seen them since they switched everything over to LED. Getting cooler today-might even need a sweatshirt. Forgot to mention... While this is a poor excuse for a trip report (hence the title) if anyone has anything they would like me to check out for them while I am here, let me know and I'll do my best.

Brent... Just Brent 83 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I need to look back and tell you the date I accidentally stumbled on the Fort decorations being unloaded off a big truck last year. It was quite a sight to see, but it might be a little too late at night for you guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All night.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 No sign of decorations here at the Fort yet. We'll definitely be @ Epcot tomorrow, not sure about 17th but I will keep you posted. No sign of any Test Track soft openings as of 2 days ago. Hit both Character Premier outlets today. Both were pretty well stocked with lots of good stuff a day some decent bargains. Got a big bag full of goodies for what 3 sweatshirts would have cost us in the parks.

Hopefully it gets better when I add pictures later. 1600 people really go all out. I expect they will be working on it much of the next week. We've seen them out there putting things up late at night some years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Dinner tonight was Le Cellier. We split the rib eye along with pouting and lobster mac and cheese. Oh so delicious! A little later we had the pleasure of meeting Whip and her DH and adorable Vienne. Along with her parents and some friends we enjoyed a fantastic Illuminations fireworks cruise. The boat took us for a lovely ride down by HS and back, then we tied up just inside the lagoon near the France bridge. View was amazing and great to get to meet another Fiend!
