The Experimental TR - Nicki's Hot Mess


Recommended Posts

Day 3- Begins

And it appears we up and at it again.  This time I gave you a view of the comfort station which means we are headed to the Settlement and back to the MK....

I call this one Shack On That There Island -

There is a gap in the pictures.  No idea why... fail.

 

Time to take a spin -

I win! I Win!

71446_135275556659061_90845241_n.jpg

 

All I can say about this one is "I WANT IT BACK.  I WANT THE TIME SPENT ON THIS RIDE BACK!!!"

 

 

11604_135275839992366_207840761_n.jpg

 

From here I can tell you that the family rode the Stink Way and I sat waiting.  The Cups were still in refurb and Dumbo was too long a wait so we headed over to one of the family favs -

I know we would have gone over to Tortuga for lunch, gone piratey again, and then the IH & IK got an imaginary look at this-

547794_135291446657472_525021008_n.jpg

 

Obviously we checked the ride line for PP but decided to ride this instead-

My trusty stead -

540498_135302813323002_1384569871_n.jpg

 

After not removing the Sword from the Stone, we headed this way-

521838_135307716655845_718811897_n.jpg

 

A bit early for most, but we had ADRs that night at my newest of favorite DTD restaurant.  Raglan Road!  We got off at the Market Place and then wandered over.  DTD is still not my favorite place but the Imaginary People love it.

 

IH had Bangers & Booze, which he did like but not as much as the regular Bangers & Mash at R&C-

6684_135376109982339_2065504971_n.jpg

 

I had Fish & Chips.  A pic of the fries for Dave.  Frankly, here it's all about the Tartar Sauce.  I could almost eat it by itself, I like that much.  I was planning on getting bread pudding but as I can't eat it all, we had other plans after eating, and I was stuffed to the gills anyway.

From DTD we hopped the first bus and it took us here-

540045_135387146647902_350914832_n.jpg

 

From which point we went here via boat, where the IK insisted I go to another dimension so they could ride in Space-

This Next pic is me still working on getting Mo to hop a plane (yes, I was shameless) -

ToT ride #1

Ride # 2 (ride pic fail here) -

Then a quick jaunt onto RRC-

This was late EMH at the park and we had a plan to go see Fantasmic.  We don't have pictures because we sat a little too close to the front.... after that we headed to see what the line for TSM was.  I think it was posted high put following a hunch, and some TCD experience, we walked in to find it was about a 20 min wait.

 

My highest score to date (player one) and one of the kids scores.  However, IH beat me by 6,000

Ok, no idea how this is supposed to go, but I'll give it a whirl...   It would appear that NICKI IS AT THE FORT...   And clearly she dropped the camper and R-A-N because that photo was posted 28 minu

I think all tolled there were close to a dozen of us on that train.  I just wish we'd have thought to bribe some poor soul in front to snap a pic of the lot of us! 

 

I'd say video us but it was a very. loud. train.   :rollercoaster:

Day 3 - "I am declaring a Fort Day & Schmuckface Visits

 

A Fort Day means swimming. And there is only one pool the kids care about.  So we are off to cross the street to the Meadow/s.

 

For Bob-

11921_135613453291938_129758820_n.jpg

 

For TCD-

554659_135644286622188_1966113883_n.jpg

 

A suspicious lake of Freeloaders (it was a tuesday)-

532096_135613406625276_565207737_n.jpg

 

About an hour into the swim, which is all my pale faced IS can take, i received a text from one of the most ornary, snark infested, schmuck faced bus drivers.  Time to go back to the site. Lou in Uniform for anyone who hasn't seen it.  We love when Lou visits and it is one of the few times we actually just sit and chill.

After Lou left, I have no idea what we did but eventually we decided to try a family favorite, the Campfire Singalong.  We usually do this at least twice a visit.  On the way we stopped into the Trading Post and took some pics-

 

What Bob Thinks-

The Truth About Lou-

15088_135927789927171_518308951_n.jpg

 

Just Cute-

563728_135927819927168_732883377_n.jpg

 

552788_135927859927164_974885853_n.jpg

 

 

However, there were alot of people here for a mid week singalong.  I have to say that the people made it less enjoyable.  Then again they had problems getting one of the campfires lit too.  Imagine more than 10 people around one of those fires.

563580_135701353283148_845515445_n.jpg

 

So from this point on there is a strange lack of pictures.  This might suggest to some that we returned to the camper and crashed out in preperation for the next day.  However, this is me.  I am known for not being able to have an entire Fort Day.   At some point I will take out my phone, open up my touring plans app and see who has late magic hours.  The singalong part usually takes about 30-45 minutes so it's probably just around 8pm.  Magic Kingdom is usually open until midnight or later.  What do you think?  Did we just hang up our hats and go to sleep or did I just not take the camera or take pictures with my phone?

Day 3- Proving Mo Right

 

Seems like I can now answer the question I posed for you.  I am using FB as my photo hosting, since the original concept of the TR was me posting them on FB.  Well I uploaded the next set of pictures from my computer the next day and FB makes you correct the date manually instead of reading the data files.  So we start with some Fort Pictures on the way to the Campfire.

539816_135928123260471_2035594857_n.jpg

 

 

Now I can reveal that we did in fact head over to theeeeeee Magic Kingdom. Where I once again sat and waited for this -

541917_135928149927135_1394889470_n.jpg

 

 

Then I got a bum gun-

20821_135928163260467_730951706_n.jpg

 

At this point, IH took the fancy camera for some fancy photography and I took the kids with the point and shoot gun for some unfancy photography and some fun-  You will have to imagine the IK here.

Here is a rare sighting at Disney, me without gloves, sunshirt, and floppy hat....and with a character-

644449_135928676593749_171287968_n.jpg

 

As the Character Lines were so short (parade time), I took the IK into the grotto to see her Mermaidness-

560211_135928786593738_1608324324_n.jpg

 

We came out in time to see the fireworks and let me just say Mr. TCD doesn't tell you how freaking loud they are from here.  WOW!

521629_135928826593734_649597636_n.jpg

 

602001_135928879927062_806367677_n.jpg

 

At this point, IH met up with us and took the IH while I went to ride the things they don't ride.  I had a sort of mission in mind for tonight.  We had bought this underwater camera for our cruise and frankly it hadn't seen any water as the only thing we got to ride was the Aqua Duck where no photos are allowed.  So I was going to try for the difficult... pictures of the Castle from the top of Splash.....  Let me just say that the drop is a bit harder to get ready for when you have to -

1. Get a picture (timing it just perfect)

2. Put the camera away to safety

3. Get your hands up in the air

521899_135928973260386_1514793737_n.jpg

 

As you can see, from the lack of pictures, I failed on two of the three objectives AND gave you an awesome picture of my face to laugh at.

 

Once back on the ground I did snap these while trying to meet up with the IF (imaginary family) again.

559060_135929099927040_1459537530_n.jpg

 

And that is all, well we probably rode Peter Pan (if the line was walk on) and we most certainly would have visited the hitch hiking ghosts but it would appear we did not shut the park down.

Day #4- The Pizza Day

 

Before this trip, I read about a ride in a TCD report that I had disregarded for my kids.  The Sum of All Thrills.  With a title like that I was sure it couldn't be for us, until I read about it from TCD.  As my son could program his own ride, thus choose his own experience I thought this is something we should try.  However, as it's virtual that leaves me out.  So while they rode, I went to get these for me a ID- (IH and IS would go around to the exit to check out the cars when it was time)

They Still Float -

Now we are off to do what we haven't done so far, meander through the WS.

Mexico is first and the kids did the KidCot thing..

554689_135863613266922_1537744796_n.jpg

 

We rode this-

644756_135863623266921_441949162_n.jpg

 

 

 

Time to go see if my favorite Viking is in residence at Maelstrom.

554934_135872983265985_1504520175_n.jpg

 

No wait at all, so it says.  Sadly Alexander has not yet been added to the ride... tsk tsk.  I requested IH get this photo because for many trips we only rode this at night or the front of the boat and I had no idea that the backseats got fresh air-

66854_135929313260352_480851266_n.jpg

 

 

On the way out we saw these-

555100_135873003265983_739394_n.jpg

 

 

Moving along -  We tried to do some things at Epcot that we had avoided before.  Like the movies.  However, the Chinese movie is "in the round" which didn't work well for this motion sick person.  However, IH and IKs enjoyed it.  I picked myself up a souvenier in the process. A trading Pin that I hadn't seen anywhere else... sorry that one you will have to see me to see.  In other words, picture fail.

At this point, I posted this to FB "Mo, you show I buy"-

Dave, she was hiding again-

We do have an ultimate destination today.  I wanted to take the IF to get this -

And then this-15088_135886186597998_1433688743_n.jpg

 

 

We saw this dude -

Pan, Peter Pan-

563738_135929549926995_1689967975_n.jpg

 

At this point we headed back to TT ... and i have nothing for the rest of the night.  No really this time I checked all the photos.  I have nothing.  I have checked all three FB albums and iPhoto.  I do know the last photo has us on a bus back to the Fort at 3pm.
