Oh yeah...after what seemed like eons...we finally met Jasmine and Aladdin.
I thought you were waiting all the time in between posts...
And my DH reminded me that this trip was for her lol.
Yep. Sucks, doesn't it?
I had visions of strolling around and trying different food and drinks...from Food and Wine...DD had other ideas. Sigh.
"I will not kill her. I will not kill her. I will not kill her..."
And while I searched for something for me to eat...we came apon the Karamel Kuche store in Germany. Which really I can't walk past and not go in.
This is so true.
That place is amazing.
So I got a blood orange caramel.
They have that?!?!?!? I did
not see that!!!
So I had dessert first. Don't judge.
Nope. No judging in Disney World.
Again..not the best dinner...pretzel and apple strudel
Still not judging.
earlier I tried the Frozen Smores. I wasn't really sure what to expect...if it was a dessert or drink...it was a drink lol. Kind of like a chocolate slushy with marshmallows and chocolate in it!! It tasted good...but had a bit of a weird texture. It was refreshing though.
Sounds interesting.
DD wasn't having the walking around anymore
Yep. No matter how hard they try, WS is more for adults than kids.
We walked back to Japan because I had never been in the shop and had heard so much about it.
What a cool shop!!
They were kind of hidden away in a little alcove behind the UK pavillion...so the good news was that the line was short...because it was not easy to find. AND we even...got to listen to an English cover band while we waited!!
Nice score!
got to hear the end of Jesse's girl at Eat to the Beat!!
Then...found a spot for the parade in front of Canada!!
Parade? I assume you mean Illuminations, right?
They told us about how one of the Canadian managers cooked up a turkey dinner and had a big pot luck and all the Canadian CM's took turns going over there for some turkey.
Nice! I really like that.
It was about 10 minutes and we were on our way.
Not bad at all.
In a perfect world, I would like to have two days or more to devote to each park...
That's exactly how I feel.
Maybe more for Epcot.... or all of them... <sigh>
but especially Epcot because I could spend a whole day just in world showcase really checking out each country properly.
ONE DAY (you know, when I win the lottery) I'd love to stay for two whole weeks on Disney property. I'd like to think at least then you could enjoy each park without feeling so exhausted each day...and no pressure to do so much each day...and have pool time...and waterpark time and gasp...even maybe a non-park day or two thrown in (or some time to go see the competition for a day lol)
Yup. That's pretty much exactly how I feel about it.
Today was our last park day
.
Boo!!!!
Man was I tired...I mean...I woke up pretty quick and was thrilled to still be at Disney...but...5 days in a row of early wake ups and all day walking...does tire the body out!!
"but if we want to have any chance of riding our favourite rides more than once today...this is IT. Let's GO"
Still easier than getting them up for school.
This time...I was not going to be had. We stood our ground...right in the middle of the bus stop - prepared for whichever end the bus should stop at.
I picture you with fists on hips, head swivelling back and forth, ready to mount a charge in either direction.
The welcome show was cute as always, but no train!! The train is being refurbished until sometime in November! I was hoping to ride it too!! Oh well.
Oh? I didn't know that was happening.
I'm so glad we did that. I love the new queue - though thankful that we did it first and did not spend an hour waiting in it!!
It's a really well done queue. Did you hold your hand out so a shadow butterfly would land on it?
Next up, meet Ariel. Ever since DD got her autograph book, she has been really into the characters. It's fun for her...but....means a lot of waiting around...but..oh well. At least the line for Ariel was not too bad in the morning. I liked her grotto too.
I presume you will be posting pictures of this some time?????????
Disney is so awesome with the details.
Next up, we heard that Gaston would be coming out and he is a fun meet or so we heard.
I've heard (and seen!) some good things about him.
While we were waiting I decided to try the Le Fou's Brew at Gaston's Tavern. I really liked it actually.
I was okay with it... but would much prefer a Dole Whip float.
Gaston was pretty funny...
Good!
There was a girl behind us who had heard that if you tell him you are stronger than he is he will sometimes challenge you in push ups...so she tried to get him to do it but he wouldn't. I wonder if they aren't allowed when there is a big line or maybe only certain Gason's do it...I have no idea...but it was funny watching her try anyway.
There's a pretty well known video out there of a young man challenging him to a push-up competition.
Gaston almost immediately starts to do them faster than the other man can do them....
Then he offers to give him a hand... while doing the push ups with one hand!
Next we hit up Haunted mansion one more time. Love this ride.
Best ride. Ever.
This was a lot of fun and DD was thrilled with her autographs and interactions with these two.
Glad it was worth staying up for.
This was...quite a long wait considering we had an ADR. I think it was almost a half hour of waiting outside before we got to place our orders.
Really! I don't think I waited at all! This surprises me.
I know you can order online ahead of time, but I just didn't want to decide that 2 months out as well.
You can order online ahead of time and then change it once you get there if you wish.
I found it funny that so many people recite the declaration in there with the movie.
They do? I don't recall them doing that when I was there in February.
Huh.
I had been told I needed to try the Cream cheese pretzel so try it we did!
On my "to eat" list!
Then we ......guess...took another ride on the Peoplemover.
No!
and decided our last ride of the day would be....Small World
Your... Last. Ride.
you know...to remember MK with the song stuck in your head.
We ended up getting snagged to do a survey about our dining choices on the way out...
Good! You gave them your email address, yes?
That's how you get pin codes.
...I had to sit on DD's suitcase to close it lol
And that's all she wrote!!
And thanks so much for writing it!
