Enjoying your reporting . Mine Train is absolutely my favorite ride in Magic Kingdom (Soarin' is my favorite in Epcot!). I love the theme, and I can't do most coasters because I get bad motion sickness/headaches, but I can handle this one .
Really enjoying your report! Looks like it was a great trip. Your pictures are awesome too. We are taking our grandson in a couple of weeks for his third birthday. It has been 20 years since we have been to WDW and we can hardly wait.
Gorgeous!We had a beautiful sunset as we were making our way out of the park.
Nothing better than a great sleep after the end of a busy day!We had an early start and a long day ahead of us the next day so we fell asleep soon after getting back to the room. One thing I can say about this trip is I slept very well! I'm not usually a great sleeper when away from home but I slept like a log on this trip. Mom said I would fall asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
So perfect!Some may think we are crazy to be there so early but I wanted to beat the rope drop crowds! This early arrival also allowed us to enjoy our stroll down Main Street.
The best place in the world!Smile Mom! You are at the Magic Kingdom!
Haha! I love it! On a side note, as I was walking in to the grocery store tonight there was a little girl dressed as Rapunzel and I said to her "Hello Princess Rapunzel, how are you tonight?" She just beamed, it was so cute!The interaction with Rapunzel was great! We talked about adventures so I told her about my adventure trying to visit her kingdom and how I had been led astray by an evil troll and ended up in Cinderella's kingdom instead.
Looks like so much fun!Gaston was hilarious as always. Mom went up first and I am a bad trip reporter and have no idea what they discussed and I made no notes. You can tell she was enjoying herself though!
That's hilarious!Next it was my turn and he walked over to me and I said hello and he responded with "Well, hello there" in his lecherous drawl. So I then said hello again! His response was "you already said that but I can see you are stunned by my presence".
I have never seen Little Mermaid but am going on it next week for sure!My mom and I did not view our time on Little Mermaid as a waste and very much enjoyed it. I am revealing my age but Little Mermaid is the first movie I remember going to see in the theatres as a child and was a childhood favourite and still is a favourite actually.
Since the Blue Fairy is my favourite, I think I need to try this slushie!I decided to get a pepperoni flatbread and the blue raspberry slushie, a favourite of the blue fairy!
I feel the same way. I resisted going on IASW for several trips but now it is a favourite!I know many people do not care for Small World but I love it! It is so colourful and I love the displays representing people and cultures from around the world and it sends a great message.
My abslute love!Next up Mom suggested we ride the Peoplemover. Great idea Mom!
CoP is awesome on so many levels.I feel this is an unappreciated and overlooked attraction
Perfect!What a beautiful day!
I seriuosly debated not sharing the photos of me from this breakfast as I look terrible in all of them but I decided to suck it up.
We loved this breakfast! The food was delicious and the characters were great. I enjoyed that it was not a buffet like most character meals. I highly recommend this meal.
As you can tell from this post, we LOVED Garden Grill! The food was delicious and the characters were great. We were so surprised when we got to see them a second time. It was also a nice surprise that we got seated 25 minutes before our ADR time. This allowed us to make it out of there just in time for rope drop. Initially I had been disappointed I couldn't land an 0805 reservation but it turns out it didn't matter.
I much prefer traveling with a friend I met here years ago. She was a former Focker - LazyDoxie66. We may be heading down to Disney next year.
I thought of adding a few ADR's for my upcoming trip, Garden Grill being one of them, but as I am traveling solo I think I'll stick to QS meals.

On a side note, I am a fellow Canadian. I grew up in PEI and currently live about an hour northeast of Toronto.

How crazy that Space Mtn was down..again!
I am loving your review! We will be doing the Bon Voyage breakfast for the first time on our trip this Fall and we are so excited!! My daughter has been in love with Eugene for almost 2 years, so I'm especially excited for that meet.
I'm glad you did share the pictures! We are always our own worst critics. But I hear you on the angle... my mom did that on our last trip (sitting down while we were standing up for character meets at meals) and I didn't like those pictures either.
We did a pre-park opening Garden Grill reservation on our last trip and loved it!! I'm actually kind of regretting not building it into our next trip too. It took us a whole lot longer to eat there (we had a 1 year old and a 3 year old with us), but they let us onto Soarin' before the park opened, which was really nice.
Gaston is a hoot! We forgot to have him sign my daughter's autograph book during our meet, so I had to run right back for his signature. He assured me that women are so stunned by his looks that they often forget things. I also must be about the same age as you... it's one of the first movies I remember from Kindergarten, and I had Ariel bed sheets for years!
Oh yes, I remember Kristal. Hope she is doing well! That is so nice that you guys have formed such a friendship!
Kristel is doing OK. We talk about once a month and have forged a lasting friendship. We hit it off the first time we met at an IP Dip, trips ScottNY used to organize, and we have been friends ever since. I have even been to her place and she has come to Philly. My grandkids love her. She had both knees replaced so no traveling the past few years but she said she is getting around much better now. We are hoping for a trip together sometime next year.
Yes, Garden Grill would probably be a bit much as a solo traveller. I think I would feel weird eating table service by myself but I know lots of solo travellers do it.
I contemplate Pinnochios every trip, but just KEEP reading terrible reviews.
Mickey's Royal Friendship Faire is a cute show. Nice pics!
Hopefully waiting it out for the parade ended up being worth it!
