AC's December 2013 Fortin' Around At Christmas TR (Not to be missed Super Interesting Update Added on 5-28-14) :)

We left off in the last update en route to Adventureland and here is our first stop:

Stopped in here to take a picture....I meant to on the last trip but completely forgot....I loved this guy when I was little:

Would have loved to get a drink here, but we were on our way for every fiend's favorite and an AC family staple:

That looks so good.  I can't believe it's ten more months until we can have another one. 

 

A lot of good things will happen in the next ten months though so no rush.

 

Moving on:

Tiana was great with DD....spent a lot of time.  Then when DD got done, Tiana coaxed DS over and would not take no for an answer.  She joked with him for a bit and then posed for more pics:

Yes.   TCD

Now we can make fun of you for not finishing your TR quickly enough.  With the snow storm we are expecting here in the South the next few days, I will be very bored and hoping for many updates each da

I like P+F in their Christmas hats! And I love good character interaction.    Was there any Glow with the Show action at Fantasmic? 

We then walked over to get in line to see Merida and I went in search of some paper FPs.

 

By the time I returned with Buzz FPs, DW and the kids were inside the Merida line area:

Then DS needed to show off some skills:

After Merida, it was time to use FP+ ressies to see DD's favorite princess.  Though, Sofia, Anna, and Elsa may be giving Cindy a run for her $$:

More MK in the next update, including the snagging of paper FPs galore!

Some what?   :))

 

Um, beer battered onion rings.

 

Since you're asking though, I'll take a good bourbon burger and a beer also please.

 

:)

 

Go Braves!

I love the return of Orange Bird.

 

but I love the smiles of happiness on the kids faces even more. 

 

Precious.

 

Thanks Kim.  Very nice of you to say.

 

Go Braves!

I knew that.. I was following the theme of the conversation. :))

 

but onion rings and a burger do sound good.

 

You're welcome... it's truth.  

 

Go BRAVES!

I should have mentioned the new part about this rumor. The new part is that there is some kind of contract dispute with the Osborne family.  This wasn't the make room for Star Wars land rumor.  My response was Disney doesn't need the Osborne name.  They can just call it something else.

In other words, since Jennings has passed away, the family is getting greedy

Love your DS and Tiana !

 

He was reluctant sometimes to meet the princesses but once he did he had fun.

 

Carpet Dumbo.

 

Very funny.

 

Y'all are doing a great job with your touring plan.  You got a lot done already!

 

TCD

 

I question how much we will get done when we can't use paper FPs anymore though.  No paper FPs SMB.

 

It seems we almost always had paper FPs in hand before, and now we will just have the three for the day at one park only.

 

Whoever came up with that idea should be fired. 

 

It's amazing how many people never knew how to use the paper FP system though.

 

I bet the same number of people don't know how to use FP+ either.

 

Standby lines seemed like they were all suffering on this trip bc of FP+ too.

 

I hope that won't be the case on our trip in Jan/Feb.

 

My Nativity set is still set up in the china cabinet in our dining room. I think I have left it up for the last five years or so.

 

I don't see any issue with that.  The non-religious stuff should be down in due time, but if you want to keep the nativity up for the next millenium, I say more power to you.

 

Loving the pictures of your kids. Especially the ones with the characters. You can see and feel how excited they are to be there.

 

Thanks Yvonne.  The kids have a ball at WDW.  They have a love for the theme parks and meeting characters, but they also love the Fort, CR/BLT, Poly, WL, boats, monorails, etc.

 

 

Carpet Dumbo.  :rofl2:

 

Tiana's dress is huge.  Merida's hair is huge. 

 

Cindy looks kind of dull in comparison.  And compared to Anna and Elsa, she's a real bore. 

 

I like the Orange Bird. 

 

I agree with everything you said.  That's a good dam post.

 

Whoops.

 

Wrong trip report.

 

What were we talking about?

 

In other words, since Jennings has passed away, the family is getting greedy

 

Greed SMB.

 

I have a snowman picture that looks like he is peeking in through the window that has been hanging up for aorund 4 years so.  I figure at this point what's the use taking it down?   :))

 

The snowman looking in the the window during the summer would freak me out.  Then again if the snowman has survived without melting for four years, now I really know Al Gore is full of crap.  ;)

Moving on to Tomorrowland......the kids love the speedway.  They wish it went a bit faster, but such is life.

 

DD would like to race go-karts and cars for real so Test Track is more her thing.

 

Here we are:

That has got to be a world record for number of pics taken on the Tomorrowland "Speed"way.  Somebody call Guinness!

 

Or somebody give me a Guinness. 

 

Obi Wan was played by Alec Guinness.

 

What?

 

I have no idea.

 

Anyway......time to use some paper FPs in the next update.

The good news, is you have almost a year to figure out a new strategy.

 

I am hoping by then that there will be plenty of FP+ strategies that you can use.

 

I have some theories I'm working on already.  Don't worry, I'll share.

Paper FPs rule, Fastpass plusses drool:

After Buzz, a plan was hatched.  I would go in search of a pletora of paper FPs and grab a lunch item I have been wanting to try during our last couple trips but struck out on.  DW would take the kids to Columbia Harbor House and I would meet them there.

 

Here I go on my quest:

I needed to walk through the castle and then I procured these:

 

IMG_7118_zps14d68635.jpg

 

The kids wanted to ride these rides and now we would not have to stand in line for either of them!

 

After grabbing the FPs, I grabbed this:

I sat down to eat it at CHH with the fam.  That waffle sandwich was delicious.

 

CHH food:

I wish the Speedway had never been shortened.  Boo to Toontown!  

 

I agree Dave. 

 

Toontown aka Mickey's Birthdayland.........for anyone still reading this, that is a tease for the upcoming updates to my Back in Time TR.

 

You'll have to wait until this TR is done first though.

 

The good news, is you have almost a year to figure out a new strategy.

 

I am hoping by then that there will be plenty of FP+ strategies that you can use.

And that sir, is why you rock.

 

It is good to be TCD.....'s friend.

You are killing me with the upside down pics!

 

Some of them show up that way on my Ipad too.....but not my laptop.  What device are you using?

 

I assure you that's not the way the pics are when I attach them.  I think it's an ipad issue.  They are fine on my phone also.
