Our first peek at the castle, this dude apparantly wanted me to move


Welcoming us to Main Street


Pirates was a total walk-on & let me tell you it was HOT down there in the que area.
Awesome TR so far. I've been logging all the time to see if it's updated.

The Mickey Head, it is water, at least when I was there on Mother's Day. There was this guy walking around with a small broom and a bucket of water and he made a Minnie mouse. We were all so amazed at how he did it.

Tuna Tom is an older man who visits the MK everyday! He eats at the Columbia Harbour House everyday and you can usually spot him under the train station before park opening.

Re: Wishy*s 'I <3 Kidani Village' Trip Report!

Question:
How does a gal enjoy the parks in platform sandals? I mean really. I can barely hang in there with tennis shoes or flat cushioned sandals. WOW.

Anyway -- I have been in the treehouse at night, and you are right. It IS scary. And one night, I told DH and the kids that I would wait while they climbed it... then when they were out of sight, I sneaked up the stairs and ambushed them with a huge shriek. It was hilarious. I really got them. heh heh

Things were jiggling outside of those shorts & nobody in the park ordered Jell-O. I feel for this child because should he fall behind for a second he could end up with a face full of cheek. AND, is that a mega wedgie????

OMG! Scary, seriously.


Ew.

It felt like the A/C in a NUMBER of stores was turned off, and there was NO or very little air flowing inside the Philharmagic & Carousel of Progress theaters. It was distracting & uncomfortably hot! Daniel handled it worse than me cause he was literally sweating while we were trying to watch Philharmagic. This trend continued as we noticed a total lack of cool area all over the AK park, many stores in the Studios park, and a lot of the inside areas of EPCOT. Totally dissapointing & frustrating.

Omg...nooo good!! I hate when heat seems to follow you around. That defeats the purpose of going inside certain places at WDW

Yes! We did it once during Wishes (we'd already seen it) and it FREAKED us out. Dave is scared of heights anyway but when the fireworks starting going off and the creepy music was playing...we knew it was time to run not walk out of there!

I've seen the water marks on the sidewalk before . . . they must mix it with a little oil or something, cuz they do seem to last long in the FL heat!

Well that or just some good ole fashion "Disney Magic!"

PS. the necklace. Sorry you were disappointed with TrenD, I love that store and could spend HOURS walking around it, checking out the displays, paintings on the walls, etc. GOOD TIP that most items are available at the other locations and we can get our discounts!
