Hi everyone, I appreciate all the replies! I haven't been able to respond until now - work/life balance has been tipping in the wrong direction lately. DW is also pretty sick with the flu (literally been in bed all week) so I've been Mr. Mom around the house too. Anyway, time for a few quick replies now.
I love getting snacks from Big Top Treats- always so much less crowded and smells just as good in there!
I really think it's a hidden gem.
that looks disgustingly awesome.
It's a good cinnamon bun. If you like that kind of thing, I would definitely recommend it.
reminds me of my walk from Poly lobby to DVC room...which you can read about
here
I think I remember reading that before. Always "fun" when that stuff happens.
I finally went to the area... even rode Barnstormer... but missed this. I even looked, but didn't find it.
Hmm...it's a pretty big red tent. Directly across from Dumbo I think. It's to the left of the Goofy/Pluto/Minnie/Daisy meet & greet.
Concentrate on the photo. You won't even notice.
I should probably give Splash another try. Maybe it won't be nearly as bad as I remember form 18 years ago. I found that RnRC wasn't nearly as bad the second time around.
I love your citrus swirl story, I pictured you all orange and sticky,
It made for a good story
The last night in the parks is always so bittersweet, but it makes it just a tiny bit better when you know you have a little bit of time in the morning, at least.
After a busy week in the parks, we like to sleep in an slowly get ourselves prepared for the trip home. It's sad either way, but at least we don't have to rush out first thing in the morning.
The citrus swirls...I think they've changed the recipe. I used to absolutely love them. The last time I went it was meh.
You may be right. I remember loving it 4 years ago (well...almost 5 years ago now). Either that or my taste has changed in my old age.
You did well with your FPs!
I was pretty happy with our FP this trip, we got every big ride we really wanted.
I love Big Top Treats! They have great stuff - sometimes I think they have a bigger variety than the Confectionary - and I like looking at the merchandise, too.
I hardly look at the Confectionary anymore. Being able to do a little shopping - and I don't mind when it's Disney shopping - is a bonus too.
What an awesome last evening in MK! Do you all have another trip planned any time soon???
Well...you will find out in my last morning update, but the short answer is no. But I wish we did.
I agree with you on Splash Mountain. Love the theme and music but hate that big drop at the end.
I have been thinking that maybe I should give in and try Splash again. Maybe it won't be as bad as I remember???
Hey! That's a really good photo!!
Thank!. Except for the dude on the train staring at me.
Hi Jeff! I've been off of here for a few weeks but just binge read the last day of your trip. Sad to see it over, but happy to hear you all have a little more WDW time on the last day. Hopefully they aren't taking you to the outlet mall again
Hi Kari! Nice to see you back. Thanks for catching up. Yes, I have one more post to finish it all off. Definitely no outlet mall!
I hear ya. I only got on because my kids forced me to. Otherwise I'm happy to skip it.
I am happy to skip it too. But the more I hear people say they love Splash, the more I think I should try it again. Maybe it won't be quite as bad.
I have skipped the Country Bears on every single visit. I have no regrets.
It's certainly not a must do every trip, but it's kind of fun. At least somewhere to sit down in the AC and take a break, if nothing else.
A+ use of the dining plan. We came home with a suitcase full of Rice Krispies treats and Goofy candy so I admire a family as dedicated to snacking as you.
We did well with the snack credits. Meal credits on the other hand...well, if you have time, come back for my last post. More than a couple Goofy candy bags came home with us.
This is blasphemy, Splash is my favorite themed ride in MK. I love the drop! Sorry it doesn't do it for you.
I know. I really think that maybe I should give it another try. Some day. Maybe....
