mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Very clever heading to MK via the Boardwalk. Why the Boardwalk, though? Wouldn't Beach Club have been a shorter walk? Maybe you took the boat?I think that ship model is the Dream. The Fantasy has a water feature built on the front of the top deck called Satellite Falls. The Dream doesn't. This model doesn't show Satellite Falls.The Boardwalk decorations look beautiful. I'm not sure I have ever seen the Christmas decorations there.TCDNot sure why we went by way of Boardwalk. That's been 6 weeks ago!!! The only reason I can think, is either we wanted to see the Boardwalk decorations,OR I'm thinking that the bus run goes Yacht/Beach/Boardwalk, so Boardwalk would be the last stop, and a direct ride to MK.

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 OK, now it is Sunday morning, today is MK day for the RADP group. SUNDAY, DECEMBER 9th, 2012 RADP MAGIC KINGDOM DAY Bakery Breakfast 9:10am @ Magic Kingdom Meet in the seating area across from Plaza Restaurant Hosts: Charlotte, Jan Meet in the seating area across from Plaza Restaurant If a gooey, sticky cinnamon roll first thing in the morning is right up your alley, then join the RADP crew for breakfast at the Main Street Bakery! Feel free to pick up your breakfast, then grab a table with us in the seating area in front of the Plaza Restaurant. A sweet breakfast with good company would be a perfect pit stop before our Splash and Big Thunder Meet! Mountains Meet 10:30am @ Magic Kingdom Grab a fast pass for BTMRR and meet near fast pass machines Hosted by: Jan & Charlotte For the 16th year in a row, RADP will launch a full-scale takeover of both Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. At 10:30am, we'll board Splash Mountain en masse, and once we're nice and wet, we'll take a ride on Big Thunder for a spin dry! This is traditionally a very popular meet, and would be a great chance for newcomers to meet the RADP family! When you arrive, make sure to grab a Fastpass for Big Thunder before heading off to meet the rest of the group near the Splash Mountain entrance. This is traditionally a very popular meet, so don't be late, or Brer Fox might throw you into the briar patch! Haunted Mansion Roulette 12:00pm @ Magic Kingdom Meet outside Columbia Harbor House Hosted by: Catherine Ready for a friendly wager? Then join RADP for our second Haunted Mansion Roulette meet! At 12:00 noon, we will be assembling outside the Columbia Harbor House. Then everyone will get to place their bets on what show scene the meet host will be stuck in when Haunted Mansion stops during our ride. Then we'll ride, and if the ride stops or even if it doesn't, you could be the winner of a prize! It will be just like Las Vegas, only completely different! (And not involving real money!) Carousel of Progress Meet 1:00pm @ Magic Kingdom Location: Meet in front of Carousel of Progress Hosted by: Rob There's a great big beautiful RADP meet shining at the end of Tomorrowland! At 1:00, we will take a leisurely ride through the life of an American family in this Walt Disney original ride. Pirates and Pineapples Meet 2:30pm @ Magic Kingdom Location: Meet outside the entrance of Pirates of the Caribbean Hosted by: Don Ahoy mateys! It's time for a cruise through the Caribbean, pirate style! Get ready to dodge cannonballs, traverse water falls and encounter and entire host of scurvy pirates, featuring none other than Jack Sparrow himself! Then after our cruise we'll head to the nearby Aloha Isle at 3:15pm for a cool Dole Whip and some time to relax before our Little Mermaid meet! Little Mermaid Meet 4:00pm @ The New Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom Meet near the queue entrance Host: Carol Since this ride just opened as part of the New Fantasyland, we really don't know what to expect. Ride along with RADP and find out the dish on what's happening under the sea. Nosh Around Seven Seas Lagoon 6:30pm Meet at Meet at Outer Rim Lounge in the Contemporary Resort Hosted by: Sean and Pam So the day begins. A boat arrives for Magic KingdomWhile waiting for it to unload, I snap a couple of shots on my wayI had decided to skip the breakfast as I was out pretty late the night before, so wandered directly towards the BTMR areaand here is our group shot in front of Splash MountainHere is the gracious CM that we handed 20 cameras to.OK, after Splash and Big Thunder, I'm over at the DSA, and my fashion police radar turns on, OMGThe pictures are never dead on cause I'm trying to be sneaky :)OK, enough of that, now we're all in the Haunted Mansion Line Ooops, PB is acting wonky, gonna post before I lose this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
