"As Soon As The Rude Passenger in the Bathroom is Done Pooping, We Can Take Off!" An AC in A2 Trip Report

[h2odivers...Ray 952]

Tree Rats!!! Lol.

Three rides already. And it's not even lunch time.

DD loves the Great Piggy Bank Race. She has been playing it for years and usually several times per trip. I think we played it 3 times in one day once. Lol. I bet if I asked her what her 3 favorite things to do at Epcot it would make the list.

I don't have the heart to tell her it's closing. It'll break her heart.

[h2odivers...Ray 952]

Hijack time.

If love to get my DD one of those piggies before they go to the slaughter house. I know they will eventually be for sale on eBay at a ridiculous price.

Does anyone know where and how Disney sells and/or disposes these type of things? CM store, private auction, public auction?

TCD? Dave (Devores)? Lou? If your lurking around. Anybody?

[twiceblessed....nacole 433]

Oh man... they're closing the piggy bank game?!  We love that one; we also like Living with the Land :)    

 

Was that girl cleaning the tank?  If so, I'm thinking there has to be an easier way...

Yes, stuff like that can and does end up in the CM store, and then on eBay.  Other times, stuff just ends up in a dumpster.  Those plastic Chinese piggies may just go in the recycling bin.

Thanks.

I know a guy that works an occasional special event at Epcot. I wonder if he might be able to procure one for my DD.

Or maybe a certain photographer could ask around for me.

Are there another Fiend CM I'm missing?

[Momof6....aka Marty 769]

Sorry I have missed our opportunity to play the piggy bank game.  And especially sorry for those poor pigs going to slaughter.  Perhaps we need to conduct a rescue mission like with Melvin?

But slaughtered piggies make BACON!

[Family of Bears 98]

Put me on the list for a pig!! Been trying to figure this out.

That sounds like an idea waiting to pop.

I hear you.  My kids will not be happy about this either.

Ray needs some assistance corralling a pig.

Oh man... they're closing the piggy bank game?!  We love that one; we also like Living with the Land :)    

 

Was that girl cleaning the tank?  If so, I'm thinking there has to be an easier way...

 

She was cleaning the tank.  I took those pics for that reason alone.  I was wondering why they didn't drain it first.

We want one too!!

I say ship them back to China.  We only want American made pigs around these parts.  They probably feed those pigs lead based slop.

Thanks.

Weird.....this person you speak of sounds very familiar.

But slaughtered piggies make BACON!

 

It is VERY hard tp argue that.

 

Wouldn't it be cool if they had a new quick serve BBQ place built in the exact place where the Great Piggy Adventure sits?  They could call it the The Great BACON Adventure......an ode to the former attraction?

 

Put me on the list for a pig!! Been trying to figure this out.

 

Can someone help this lady corral a pig?

[AC in A2......Aaron 693]

After the PBA, we had a FP+ appointment to meet another rat.....errrr......mouse:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After meeting those fine folks, DS needed to ride Da*n Judi's ride again, this time with a FP+: 

 

Check out this wonderful FP+ line......

 

 

this was only probably 1/3 to 1/2 of the line in this pic.  Where have you gone paper fast passes, our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.  Woo-ooh-ooh.

 

Anyway, here we are on DJD:

 

 

 

My son seems to be missing something:

 

 

 

World Showcase is coming up next.  I will try to post another update tonight.  If not, the TR will go on hiatus until Monday.  Fear not though, I will be gathering info for an AC in A2 Weekend TR......and therefore I will have dueling TRs next week.

D'oh, you were so busy delivering your funny line that you forgot the photo.  LOL.

 

Good job on the funny line.  But fail on forgetting to post the photo that goes with it.

Why TCD.  Whatever do you mean?  It must be a technical glitch on your end.

I love the HDDR. Z was a little sad we didn't do it this trip. I'm going to try to fix that sooner rather than later. 

 

Your DD and Z would get along well.

 

Your DS has gotten so big! 

 

Looks like a great morning. 

[Family of Bears 98]

Aaron, congratulations. You've earned your ears. The BBQ place in the pig spot is brilliant. You are an imagineer.

[h2odivers...Ray 952]

Love all the character meet n greet pix.

Next to pood forn pix adorable kids meeting their favorite characters are the best. There's just something about the that "look" kids have. It's, well, Magicsl!

Can't wait for the World Showcase. Bring it on!

Dueling TRs! I don't know if I can handle it. But I'll try.

[h2odivers...Ray 952]

Oh I almost forgot.

Sorry about the pig hijack but I did hear from my super secret Disney source and he or she informed me that TGPBR is a third party so the piggies may not end up in the CM store but they will check after it closes down.

They did give me this link. I ordered one for my DD. I will post a pic when it comes in.

I hope you get the chance to meet the AC family in person some day.

 

Those are two great kids.

 

And two pretty good parents.

Us either. But hey now our kids won't be disappointed it's gone!

[BuckeyeFortMama 43]

 

 

 I did feel like the proverbial "red-headed stepchild" though.

 

 

 

What does this mean if you are actually a red-headed fiend?

 

 

But in all seriousness, I am happy you are finally reporting on your trip.  I just know that I won't have time to read it or you finish writing it before we leave for our trip in a few days. Ugh!

 

3. Playground by the Dog Walk

DS is eating us out of house and home.

 

DD would get along great with Z.  They would be two peas in a pod.

Aaron, congratulations. You've earned your ears. The BBQ place in the pig spot is brilliant. You are an imagineer.

 

Thanks Brandy.  If they would just listen to me regarding attraction changes and eateries, the World would be a better place for all.

I can hear the banjos warming up now.

It's funny you mentioned dueling banjos............

Aaron, your daughter's smile makes me smile.  It's infectious.

Thanks Dave.  She is a keeper.  She would fit in well with your girls.

You still have 8 days for an impromptu trip!
