GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yay for DD! A girl was the beast the first time we saw it. I tried to get Z to roar, but he chickened out. He is 2 for 2 as Chip. He makes a good Chip, so I'm OK with that. But next time I'm snatching Ms. Potts away from a little kid. Ah, paper FPs! PS= Lou is reading your TR right now. That makes you special! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lklasing 16 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 We also had a girl as the beast on our first time to go, and interestingly she looked a lot like your DD. I'll see if I can find pics - they were so cute but not as cute as your DD! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 That's an AWESOME picture of you two! You are going to look back at this picture some day and get teary. Seriously beautiful pic of true Daddy-Daughter happiness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And props to you for carrying on the proud Fiend tradition of serving as a guard for Belle. I miss paper FP's. TCD She was very excited and she did a good job. Yay for DD!

AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 12-7-13 (continued) We just left Enchanted Tales with Belle and had some time to kill before our next FP+ reservation time, so the kids decided they needed to ride some trusty steeds in a perpetual circling pattern: After getting dizzy, we saw this guy pointing excitedly at something: I could never figure out what the big deal was. We moved on.... We went to PP where the wait time was listed as 50 minutes..... If you remember though, we had paper FPs or what became known as Legacy FPs. Legacy? That's a dumb name. They should have called them the Soon To Be Gone Even Though They are Awesome and You Really Like Them Passes. Anyway, we rode PP with zero wait and never saw a small, medium, or big Wendy.....except for the Audio-Animatronic type I guess. Next we checked to see if KFK's Ghost became the 1000th resident of the Haunted Mansion and had very little wait: Flag Alert! Time to get in one more quick ride before our FP+ reservation: Alrighty then....time to head for our reservation with Cindy: She was joined by Aurora: We had a few minutes until our next FP+ time so we perused the gift shop: Then we visited Rapunzel who apparently needed to get away from her tower because when it's busy in the MK, it smells like a port-a-potty: Sharing the scene with Rapunzel was Dave's estranged first cousin, er I mean lover apple muncher. Next we will "Progress" to Tomorrowland.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I would like to compliment you on your efficient use of the legacy and FP+ systems. Y'all are getting it done! Too bad those legacy FP skills are now obsolete. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kampfirekim 260 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Did you find my ghost? (see that proves I read the fine print) Since I have only boys I'm not sure that I'll get to see the princess meet and greet area but it looks really great... except for the Wild Eyed Snow White! She looks like she's seen a ghost. Maybe a certain ghost spooked her. or maybe she has a hatchet hidden in her petticoats. It's a fine line.... For the record: I am pro hatchet in the petticoats in certain situations. You never know these days... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 12-7-13 (continued): We are now headed to Tomorrowland to check out a few more things before heading back to the Fort. First up we took in the COP: Then we headed to Buzz for our last FP+ of the day: After Buzz we grabbed DD's replacement balloon and headed for the exits: Heading back to the Fort: When we got back to the site, we had visitors waiting for us. Lou, Gail, Buddy, and Yawkey (known to the rest of you by some other name) met us at our site. We had a good visit and we already had plans to meet back up with them later in our trip. We said goodbye to some great friends and went to the pool for the remainder of the afternoon. We ate dinner at our campsite and then planned to head to the Meadow(s) for the campfire singalong and the Little Mermaid. I wanted to get a quick update in for those of you who don't care about the Daytona 500 or the Michigan-Michigan State Basketball game. I will be watching those and it may be tomorrow before I get another update done. Peace be with you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 12-7-13 (continued): Since Michigan has beaten Michigan State and the Daytona 500 is red-flagged for rain right now, I should probably do another update. Here we go. We went swimming until late afternoon and ate at the PUP. Then we went to the campfire singalong and planned to stay to watch The Little Mermaid. This is one of my absolute favorite WDW activities and has been since I was a wee lad. We looped for a bit and I took a picture for TCD and DIT: We walked around the Settlement/Marina area for a bit: Then, we headed for the Meadows for the campfire sing-along and movie: After smores, I jumped in line for some popcorn and drinks. While I was gone, a CM asked DW if our family wanted to be Chip & Dale's escort to the sing-along. Of course she said yes and the CM told her to meet on the porch behind the bleachers when it was time. When the time came, we waited on the porch and Chip and Dale arrived shortly thereafter: That was a blast. The Munks spent quite a bit of time with us before entering the theatre area. The kids thought it was pretty special that they were picked. So we escorted the Munks to the front of the theatre; in front of the movie screen. Then Cowboy Billy Bob (not sure what his real name was) started the audience participation portion of the program.....the part where they do the hokey pokey, chicken dance, and all the other silly things that are more fun when you're drunk at a wedding: Then it was time to get the movie started: That was a lot of fun. If you ever get picked to be a Munk escort, you should definitely do it. Back to the PUP after the movie. We had an early Epcot morning planned for the next day. We are only done with arrival day and the first full day of our trip. Plenty more to come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Go BRAVES! ;D Great updates! Our MK visits always start with Buzz then People Mover, like an elephant walk. It cannot be deviated from. Love the campfire photos. It's one of those things that should be done at least once every trip if possible. Especially if you have kids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 12-8-13 Here comes another update since Daytona is still red-flagged and it looks like it will be at least another hour before they can get the track dry...... We are going to Epcot this morning so off the the outpost bus stop we went on the golf cart. When we got there, I took a long range pick of the horse paddock: Here we are at Epcot with the obligatory Flag in front of DJD golf ball pic: While waiting to enter, we saw Vice President Cheney in line next to us. He looked like he was ready for a safari or possible bird hunting trip, so of course I immediately wished I would have been wearing body armor: The feeling struck DD and she started dancing: In we go....a couple pics for Carol: We headed directly to Test Track....DD was excited to ride it again: DD's design: I forgot to add that we grabbed FPs on the way into TT. After TT, we went to ride Soarin on a FP+ and also grabbed paper FPs for Soarin. Here is where we had our first FP+ glitch.....DD's MB let he in. Mine, not so much. I showed them a screen capture of our FP+ ressies. They said I could have changed them. I said, "You're right. I was just going to take the chance that I would just send my 5 year old through the line on her own and wish her the best of luck." I think my "I am not playing BS games face did the trick that time." Don't worry I would try the same tactic next time this happened and it didn't work. Anyway we rode Soarin and DD loved it! It was her first time and she was dying to go right back on. Good thing I grabbed the paper FPs. BTW, each time I grabbed paper FPs, I got at least 4 but many times they were for rides that only two of use will ride. After TT and Soarin, we met DW and DS at Nemo and Friends.....they were coming from Damn Judy. Next up was Turtle Talk: Then we checked out the tanks: After Nemo, we went back to The Land and sat down to eat. We saw this display on the way in: We ate our packed lunch and then DW used two of the FPs and took DD back on Soarin, while I went on the Living with the Land boat ride with DS. DW gave away the other two Soarin FPs and made the day of a nice woman and her daughter. {AC in A2 Diatribe} Not being able to give away extra FPs now that we have only FP+ is going to suck major monkey arse. {END AC in A2 Diatribe} Next we headed to Imagination, which needs to meet Miley's Wrecking Ball soon. I mean, I remember loving it as a kid with the DreamFinder and Figment and all that Jazz. I think the original was the best. I am not a fan of the new Disney thing of just redoing an old ride and turning it into something "new" but it's really not "new". I digress. Next we head for our last FP+ ressie where we will meet some old friends.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beckers 1,136 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 That's great you guys were able to escort the chipmunks in! It must be fun to watch a movie with a bunch of Disney loving people. Hmm, I wonder where else that can be done? Oh wait, I know! Gettysburg! That magic band mess up would be annoying, good for you for standing your ground and not getting screwed out of Soarin'Oh and MWB, that's epic, as long as FWG isn't naked on it!
