i see you have suggestions. i think you and i have different perspectives about these rides. i just hop on the bus and wait to get to the park. i'm in no need to be entertained during that time, nor do i need leather seats or exact ETAs. the bus gets to the park when it gets to the park. i'm...

i welcome suggestions. if they're clean and plentiful, and on time, what more is there to do? it's a bus

i like the buses. you know what you're getting at this point and they serve their purpose well IMO. only time it drags on is going from resort to resort. we had dinner at BlueZoo and traveled from Fort Wilderness camp and it took ages to get there and back with lots of stops. But honestly I...

SO, about that... This was really an unforgettable feeling going over the croc pit. You're able to see the animal habitats from completely new angles so if you've been on the safari a couple times this really gives you a different experience. This is really a whole lot safer than it looks in...

willing to bet it's the same. by the time we got to the food area it was around 11 i think, so it's probably the same dishes or close to it. i'm trying to see if i have actual food pictures for when i write up the second half

FINALLY back to this. Where was I? Right, I was on my way to Africa So I set this up very far in advance as one of the last big parts of our trip. I looked through all the different guided tours as I wanted something real special to do. I also wanted something reasonably challenging and...

that's the idea. we've done that a lot over the years. i mean look i dig the parade, and i try and catch the second one especially with halloween (horseman is a must-see). the christmas one too. but overall i use that first parade as an opportunity to hit the big rides. and yeah the candy lines...

i'm sure they'll bump it if you're willing to hustle a bit during the parade, the ticketed event really is a solid buy and ride lines are short. instead of paying ~$110 (or whatever a one-day is) for a full day just pay the party price and go at 4pm. treat it as a normal park day and stay up...

it was an anomaly according to locals and cast members. i don't think it's usually that cold over that many days. and for what it's worth we were fortunate enough to have that first day be warm, and the last couple days (Africa trek) were warm enough too. October has always been great weather...

thanks. that part is coming soon. probably today since i have the day off. that one is fairly pic-heavy. otherwise, as you can tell, we actually don't go TOO heavy on pictures. our next trip we might look into the memory maker since otherwise all our pictures are selfies and stuff like that...

Man what a busy week. Let me get back to it HOLLYWOOD That Mickey pretzel is a MUST every year. This was another real cold night. I'm not a Studios guy as I think I stated earlier but always wanted to see the lights. We also had reservations at the 50's Prime Time, which was highly recommended...

thanks, you've had some good ones too. if he wants to do something cool at WDW that isn't typical i would suggest looking up the woman i mentioned in one of the first posts, she does special events and is very accommodating, write me if you want a link to her site ha the big stitch was fun but...

Really enjoying the feedback everybody thank you. Now where was I? oh right WE TAKE A DAY OFF Take my word for it on this one - taking a day off is one of the best things you can do during a full week's stay at WDW. There are so many little cool spots to see at your resort, or Downtown...

ha trust me after trying it myself i can't imagine doing the whole thing either! it wasn't even a goal really. after we hit mexico and canada (didn't exactly go in order) we grabbed wine in france and i said hey we're making good progress let's try it. probably the mezcal talking. i would not...

i must say disney in the cold is a very different experience. at first i was begging for mercy but after a while you get a hot drink or something and warm up a bit. i am not a winnipeg jets fan, but you see me in that hat in the pics because i grabbed it at epcot. anyway, once you're dressed...

EPCOT DAY - STONE COLD As stated earlier this was our first holiday trip. Christmas definitely takes over the parks, but this Epcot day showed us a new side of Fort Wilderness as well. (To-Mater sighting again too) The cool dry air was nice enough to inspire us to go out on a jog before...

appreciate the kind words. writing this up has been a fun experience as I haven't "re-lived" that moment in a long time. A year flies by doesn't it. will be updating this later today with the next day. the big part of the trip comes at the animal kingdom as we went on the 'Wild Safari Trek"...

DAY 2 - RAIN EVERYWHERE So the funny thing about this Monday was that it was my "rain day" as a backup for the proposal. The very much opposite happened, as I got the good weather opening day but was absolutely poured on throughout this one instead. some people take it to another level with...

OK. So now it's time for vacation. There is no better way to kick off a Disney week than drinks and appetizers at T-Rex. Ok, just my opinion. But boy, I've now gone 3 years straight on opening night and 'Rex is always jumping. Crazy environment, high energy, loud and ridiculous. Really fired up...

thank you very much. yeah it absolutely made the rest of the trip easier on me haha. i'm drafting up my recap of the rest of the week now and it's hard to beat the opening day story. the way it all worked out with timing and weather was pretty amazing. Jane was pretty booked that week too if i...
