This photo is amazing - pure joy on your face!!!
 
Finally getting caught up :blush:

We started to make our way towards Frontierland, with a pit stop in Adventureland for some dole whips! Now it wasn't even that hot but these things were melting FAST. I couldn't even get a picture because I was so busy trying to eat it as fast as I could! They really need to give these to you in bigger cups so everything doesn't drip down the sides!
I agree, they used to come in those big plastic cups and now it just a tiny little paper one, what the heck???

Look at those smiles, they certainly look like they're having a great time.
 


This is so cute!

Oh no...disappointing!

Never mind! Good that you gave it a shot! Your PP pictures for this ride are adorable, too.

Thank you!

We were so glad SDMT came back up before left the park!

I'm here!!! Benefit of borrowing a computer, I can read/reply to things on the dis better!!

Looks lik a pretty awesome first day so far!!

UGH, I WISH I LIVED CLOSE enough to get there that early!! I have to red eye for that kind of commitment lol! (though red eyes are always nice cause you can get an extra park day without paying for an extra night in the hotel!)

YAS to people mover (duh) and dole whips!! they REALLY DO NEED BIGGER CUPS! I've had them melt literally ALL over me before, no bueno!

Can't wait to read more!

Hi! Thanks for joining in!

This was the first time I've gotten into Orlando early enough to get to a park and it was so nice! We had a great day!

Love this shot!

Blue skies are good and all, but the castle always looks extra spectacular with storm clouds!

Oooh another great shot! I don't think I've ever seen a picture from this angle before!

You're so right! It just makes the castle stand out that much more!

My mom got that photo! I didn't even notice when she took it but it's such an awesome view!

How are you guys still standing?!?!

Haha pure adrenaline!

Glad 7DMT was up and running for you, it is a fun ride for all ages!

Thanks, I was glad we got to ride it that day!

This photo is amazing - pure joy on your face!!!

We had such a blast!! :)

Ugh the cups are SO small! Definitely not convenient!

Aw thanks, we really did have a blast on SDMT! My parents hadn't been on it in 3 years and they were excited!
 


Yes they are the same ones! I'm sorry yours got ruined :( The red dye on these sneakers are no joke. The red inside soles stain the crap out of my socks!!

Holy cow, what kind of dye did they use for the red, that's crazy!! They sit in my closet and I just look at them, lol. I can't bear to get rid of them b/c they're so cute.

When we got back over to SDMT, we saw it was open! The FP line was backed up but it moved pretty fast. My parents absolutely love this ride and it makes me happy knowing they have such a good time!


I love this ride photo!

There's just something about SDMT! I always say I can take it or leave it...but then I always end up making a fast pass for it b/c it's so much fun!! Plus, you can't beat all the pictures and the video that you get. It's not in the plans for the next trip in a couple weeks b/c DH isn't a fan of the seats, and I will miss it.
 
Oh no! :sad1:

Yay! :PinkbouncGlad it was finally open.

I love the ride photo, you guys look like you are having so much fun.

I'm glad we didn't end up missing out on it! We had a blast and it was a nice final ride for out first day :)

Joining in :)

They are so cute! You should just wear them anyway!

Thank you, you can definitely tell we were having a blast! I'm sorry you won't be riding on your upcoming trip :(
 
Day 1, October 21, 2017 - Walking Right Down the Middle of Main Street USA!

We then headed back towards Main Street! I feel like I could just spend so much time here and never get bored!















We stopped in the Emporium for a bit and then it was time to call it a day. It was 6:30 and we were all feeling pretty tired from the early start!









When we got back to the hotel we all ate dinner at the food court, which was not much to write home about. It was around 8:30 when we finally got to our room! We were in the Jazz section. At first I was a little disappointed because we booked a preferred room and I had thought all preferred rooms were in Calypso. But it didn't end up being a big deal, it was still super close to the main building and it was in a nice and quiet area!

Since we hadn't been in the room all day we still had to unpack and get settled. My mom and I also bought some things to decorate our window! It's hard to see in this picture but I did end up taking a better picture later in the trip!



It must have been after 10 when we finally got to bed. A LONG day, but it was so great to be able to get into Orlando early and visit a park! We would need our rest, tomorrow would be an early and full day!

Up next...Animal Kingdom!

There's just something about Main Street that makes me so happy. Such cute pictures!

So cute! Window decorating has become a tradition for us. It's so fun!

I am impressed, that was a long day:faint:
 
:dogdance:

Looking forward to reading another of your reports!

Especially since this one kinda-sorta overlapped with mine.

Congrats to your parents on their milestone anniversary. Disney is such an awesome place to celebrate.

Going back to read the other posts now.

:goodvibes
 
GREAT start to your trip.

I LOVE the beautiful lights of the city and the sunrise from the plane. Also, fantastic arch picture.

It's great that the transportation fairies were with you and you were able to get to MK quickly. No better place to start a Disney trip.

All of your photo pass pictures are adorable, but I especially love the ones of you and your shadow on Main Street. Very Peter Pan.

I have never watched the Royal Faire castle show. It looks like fun and your mom's pictures are great.

Love the rides you did, good FP selections. I'm glad you were able to eventually ride Mine Train.

OK, I have seen this in a couple of trip reports... where is the purple wall? Asking for a friend....

Very, very impressive first day.

:thumbsup2
 
What a really great arrival day! Just no better way to spend the first afternoon than in MK, in my opinion.

I really have to make sure we catch the Muppets show next time we are there. We always seemed to miss it on our last few trips! It looks really cute.
 
Hi There!:wave2: Joining in!

Looks like a great first day at MK! Always love starting with a ride on the Peoplemover!

Glad SDMT opened back up for you!
