We caught the last Star Wars weekend but only got Darth Maul's autograph...in English. I guess it would have been more accurate if he signed in "Aurebesh"! We bought a name tag for our son and it had his name in "Aurebesh", would be a nice detail if the Star Wars characters would sign using...

We love the meet & greets and our boys have several filled autograph/photo albums. Since we go to both Disneyland and Walt Disney World regularly it is fascinating to compare the 2 resorts approaches to character meet & greets. At DLR while there are a few dedicated queues and backgrounds...

We had a late Thanksgiving Lunch at the Contempo Café and the wait for the food was longish. They gave us a beeper, but we were not supposed to go anywhere, just wait for the server to find our buzzer and they seemed to just be asking everyone "Is this yours, Is this yours?" I thought it was...

Day 4 Saturday November 26, 2016-The End For our go home day we drove into Orlando to eat and to do some shopping. We came back to Disney Springs that night in hopes of seeing the new drone show. Traffic was horrible and we made it into the Team Disney parking lot with enough time to get out...

Day 3 Black Friday, November 25, 2016-Part 7 Our Fastpass for The Little Mermaid was up and we mistakenly thought the entrance to the meet & greet was the Fastpass entrance to the ride. A very polite castmember let us know where we were and since the line was indeed short we decided to meet...

Day 3 Black Friday, November 25, 2016-Part 6 It's a small world is a classic, and again with our Fastpasses we basically walked right on, and beat a 40 minute wait. Everyone loved this, The Baby too. Dad & Mom got picked to be said bye to on the way out. I still find the indoor loading...

Day 3 Black Friday, November 25, 2016-Part 5 A Magic Kingdom first for us was a trip to Tom Sawyer's Island. It was nice to experience Tom Sawyer's Island without a pirate overlay like at Disneyland. Also it brought back tons of memories crawling around the Fort, another element that you...

Day 3 Black Friday, November 25, 2016-Part 4 Crowds were still very manageable we milled about in front of Cinderella Castle. Since it was still so empty The Baby had time to explore the Hub, took some neat pictures of him walking across vacant pathways with the Castle looming above. We...

Day 3 Black Friday, November 25, 2016-Part 3 We walked on to Winnie the Pooh, a ride we have been on in California but not here. The boys enjoyed exploring the tree. I had never noticed it before, and I loved the detail, it has always made me laugh that "pooh lived under the name...

Thank you for the kind thoughts, I too am a huge fan of that stunning mural. They had 2 Blair murals in the Disneyland Tomorrowland but eventually they were covered up. As a kid I'd see them and wonder why there was "Small World" art in Tomorrowland, but as I got older I appreciated them for...

Day 3 Black Friday, November 25, 2016-Part 2 After meeting Mickey we walked up Main Street stopping to take pictures in front of Cinderella Castle. The Castle is always my favorite piece of architecture at a Magic Kingdom, and while I have a sentimental attachment to Sleeping Beauty Castle...

Day 3 Black Friday, November 25, 2016 Traditionally we are not rope droppers, we have managed a few times to get there within 30 minutes of rope drop, and I think once we did it early enough at California Adventure to walk behind the rope to get to the Tower of Terror, but that is about it...

Day 2 Thanksgiving Day Thursday November 24, 2016 After resting a bit and freshening up we spent the afternoon at Disney Springs. That place is huge, and the Town Center while pretty needs more shade, we have been in June and November and both times we were baking with the glare off of all...

Day 1(well it was night...) Wednesday November 23, 2016 We were on the road and leaving the Queen City by 11 PM on Wednesday night, Mom had agreed to the first driving shift. Big Brother had his Nintendo DS, iPad, DVD player and was ready for the long night, The Baby had Mickey Mouse...

Introduction Thank you for joining me on my first trip report! A little bit of bio first; I'm originally from southern California and grew up going to Disneyland a lot, like most southern Californians. Almost 8 years ago I moved to the east coast, living in greater Washington, DC for 4...

I have stayed at the Pop 3 times, the first time was in the 70's building. This was in June '15 and the room was very muggy, musty....it was tolerable but not ideal. We followed up with a second trip to the Pop in November '15 and stayed in 50's building on the top floor on the lake side and...

Was at Magic Kingdom on Black Friday and watched the parade from Aunt Polly's veranda. It was really just an accident, we were resting there when the parade started so we just watched the whole thing go by. The view wasn't great, but it was fun enough. I don't imagine the Liberty Belle will...

We went to MK for Thanksgiving last year and they were open until 1AM, Thanksgiving is crowded, but it's not Christmas Day to New Years Day crowded, we had a great time, especially from 10PM-1AM. We liked it so much we want to go back this year and had been noticing that the park was only...

I had a hard time getting past Piggy and Kermit being broken up and him dating another pig on the new TV series, It is the number 1 factor why I just couldn't get into it. I was more forgiving of it in the Muppets film because they seemed to get back together by the end(and the movies are...

Marge: the bartender even looks like John Travolta... John Travolta look-a-like: Yeah..."Looks" like....
