Nah, I think you're being too critical. I don't see it.  

Womenz laughing under the awning at the Fort!!! It doesn't get any better than that :)

I assume you meant Trader Sam's.... unless you were going grocery shopping?

I am still loving the responses!! It is very encouraging to know that people are actually reading my jumbled thoughts. :-D

So, we had gotten to Epcot. This was during the International Arts Festival. What does one do at an International Arts Festival? One paints by number.

There were also food booths. I don’t remember what this was or where I got it, but I remember that it was yummy.

Some of us decided to ride Frozen Ever After. I believe Sarah was selected to carry the coveted Red Card.

Reading through on my phone and looked down and saw the first picture before reading the beginning on this and having completely forgotten about the paint by number they had my first thought was.     What kind of Jello shots game did the Wild Womenz come up with!

I love all the responses and would love to respond to each individually. But I have no clue how to multi-quote on Tapatalk, so I am just going to push on with the TR.

So I left off as we arrived at the Magic Kingdom. We decided to have dinner at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. A first for me!

Heading into Tomorrowland, here is Sarah being adorable.

And a general picture I thought might be Instagram worthy.

Sorry. No pood forn. I just remember I had something with fries.

After dinner, we found a rather odd spot to watch the projection show and Wishes.

After dinner, we headed back to Tomorrowland.

I don’t think we rode any rides that night.

I took this in a store window. (I think)

As I recall, we went to bed early-ish that night. I know I had gotten up at o’dark-thirty and was pretty tired.

During the night, Jen and Yvonne joined us.

The next morning found us sitting and chatting.

There must have been a short trip to a trading post.

We rode the bus to the Outpost.

And rode a bus to Epcot! Fair warning. I like photos of Spaceship Earth.

I’m just about at 20 photos, so I will pick things up here next time.

Two things. #1 I really love going back through these pictures and remembering the fun I had. I highly recommend writing Trip reports!
#2 I don’t take as many photos as some others, do I am posting just about all the pictures I took. The good, the bad, and the totally bizarre. Like this one.

What type of camera/lens are you using?  Your night shots are great!

Your post reminds me that we have yet to ride the Frozen ride at Epcot.  I don't know when we'll get back into the parks, but it seems to me that a good plan would be a Frozen FP and a Biergarten ADR.  

Sounds like a great plan to me!  I liked the Frozen ride a lot more than I thought I would - definitely FP worthy.

I agree about fast passing Frozen Ever After, although as you are about to see, the stand-by line a cute feature. The line goes through Oaken’s Trading Post. The window to the sauna is fogged over, but drawings appear from time to time. You may also see someone in the sauna peering out.

So, moving right along. After leaving Epcot, we went back to the Fort. We headed to the Settlement.

e7d51c552a0337689c1b4d77d57fdd45.jpg

 

And took a boat to the Contemporary.

 

168755b631ca10e572bd83e9a7b53923.jpg

 

And caught a monorail

 

606f5e936bf596c6e0085de832bb6112.jpg

 

Over to the Poly. We met up with Kelly and some of her friends at Trader Joe’s.

 

By the time we left Trader Joe’s, the resort boat was no longer running. We walked over to the TTC.

 

3094943bcee72431a81dbf1ec1bfcbc0.jpg

 

We found the nice cast member in charge of directing where all the buses park for the night. We explained our plight and he finagled a bus ride back to the Fort for us. :)

 

The next morning, Gretchen drove some of over to Animal Kingdom.

Not far from the entrance, we saw this cast member feeding these birds.

That bunch looks like trouble.....

I was the schmuck that led us to the TTC. There used to be a bus that ran from the TTC to the Fort after the boats stopped running :(
