I love the rain so no sympathy needed however I appreciate the effort!

Hahaaa...!
Oh, I know how much you like the rain. The sympathy like was for any damage that might have occurred.
Actually, I'm quite enjoying all the rain we're finally gettin' this year after so many recent drought years. Especially since so much of it is happening during the week while I'm at work...!

I understand that is a disappointment that covers many topics.

*inserts obligatory joke about how size doesnt matter but how you use it*

Still happens at Tokyo Disneyland. Maybe I'll get to go there one day.

some day.. some day!

 

[Cesar R M]

Such a nice day today. Lazy Sunday, I may have napped in my comfy chair.

I take the nap staff/baton from you... time to nap soon!

I didn't know the Norway pavillion was closed. I thought it was just under construction.

they are shoehorning Frozen... so yeah.. complete overhaul.

I like Wall-E. My brother absolutely loves it. He's got a ton of Wall-E stuff.

My least favorite Pixar movies are Up and Brave. Favorite is Finding Nemo. Back in elementary school, my best friend at the time and I would quote Finding Nemo on a daily basis. I probably have the whole movie memorized

Speaking of Wall-e.. I was sad about the Disney park stuff.. I wanted to meet that robotic copy of Wall E in Disneyland.
I dont think he is there anymore.... Id love to see Baymax too... and Oswald.

 

[donaldtoo]

perhaps its an issue of local vs international?

btw, funny thing.
despite being 4 times to the MCO airport.
I still GET THE WRONG SIDE.
I always get to the wrong side of the stairs to get to the Disney area XD

Don't know. But, they should be able to get it right, either way.

I trust Disney more than the TSA

Though one year, we had another people's luggage in our room. And one of our bags were sent later last year (same day though).

I never pack valuables in my luggage. Everything of that nature goes into my carry on

Yes, anything valuable stays in my pockets, or a small carryon near my feet.

@MinnieM123 would LOVE this one...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Don't worry, if I need any pain killers I still have some stashed away from a surgery I had late last year. I didn't need them all, and you never know when those things might come in handy!

Yep, those "leftovers" have been known to come in handy, from time to time.

My family rode the Mine Train (we missed out by a week last year), said it was quick and disappointing.

It's very well-done on the inside, but too quick, I agree

 

[donaldtoo]

yep yep yep, all that is nice but what I want to hear more about is those Sea Salt Brownies and wine.

Hahaaa...!
The sea salt brownies were simply that, ooey gooey brownies with sea salt.
The wine was a merlot from Fall Creek Vineyards here in Central Texas.

Is it worth a FP+? THNX

I think so because the line is long all day. Even late at night, it doesn't settle down. At 1 am last January, it was a 45 minute wait.

 

[donaldtoo]

dont these cards expire?

They used to devalue and then eventually expire over time.
But, here now, as far as I know anyway, they don't devalue or expire anymore.

I think it could also depend on what your like to do and time of the visit. I don't often ride Splash (I don't like getting wet on rides) or Space Mountain (as I find the cars uncomfortable and the ride bumpy) so I wouldn't get FP+ for those, it would be a waste for me. HM or even Pirates for that matter, I love these rides, but I wouldn't FP+ it either because I have had good luck even at super busy times riding it with minimal wait either early in the day or late at night. But rides that I enjoy, even if they are short like mine train or Peter Pan that tend to build up huge lines, I think it is beneficial to use a FP+ on them.

The rides at MK that I think are worth a FP+ are...

Space Mountain
Splash Mountain
Big Thunder Mountain
Peter Pan's Flight
7DMT

In a pinch, if you can't get those, then go for Pirates, HM, Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, or Winnie the Pooh are all good ones.

Just a side note, while I do not like Space Mountain at WDW I LOVE it at Disneyland. The cars are easier to get into and the ride seems smoother. I don't really do Splash at either parks, I enjoy the ride before the drop on both, I just don't like getting wet on ride, but I do think Splash at WDW is better than Disneyland's.

I like both. IMO, they are completely different attractions, so there's no comparing the two.

The cars on Matterhorn are more similar to WDW Space Mountain. Matterhorn beats me up. WDW Space Mountain is rough, but I like it. Once a day on Matterhorn is good for me.

Splash is WAY better at WDW. We didn't like Splash at DL the first time. I don't know why we bothered the second time, especially since none of us likes getting wet. At WDW, we save it for last and/or wear ponchos. Some will say that you shouldn't go on it if you don't like getting wet, but my thought is why should I deprive myself of a great attraction when there is a very simple solution to not getting wet?

 

[StarWarsGirl]

hmm.. what does the TSA has to do with Disney's bag service?

Nothing, but it's a comparison. Disney is more trustworthy than the TSA

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Well, people I've had a long and tiring day, woke up at 2:30 AM. Couldn't go back to sleep, (allergies, and multiple asthma attacks)...it's only 3:30 PM, but I'm fixing dinner , and calling it day. Sleep well tonight, and Disney dreams. to all. I'm so glad that each day is a new day with so many promises.

Sympathy like. Know the feeling unfortunately.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Ok that's good. It's one of my favorite pavillions. I always do a spray and get away with their perfume, Laila.

That one makes me tighten up pretty badly. I have to hold my breath and run through that pavilion.

I wish they would consolidate their perfume shops to one or two locations. Maybe to the world traders shop at World Showcase's entrance. I cannot be the only person who is bothered by the fragrances. And it's in so many countries. Italy, Norway, UK, France...some of them are okay, but I pretty much skip Italy and Norway now because of it.

I like Florida!

Yeah I've always been a Florida gal too. We spent a great deal of time while I was growing up in Florida and my kids spent a lot of time in Disney growing up and then DS all grown up. My daydream has always been to have a condo in the Orlando area and a condo in Wisconsin, one for each of the two seasons since we don't seem to have 4 seasons any longer.
