And critters. A little guy that isn’t changing colors too well.

And a critter behind space mountain that was causing a stir with guests. The baby was sunbathing on the sidewalk

And we wondered where momma was given all the Tron excavation in the immediate area

Lunch. Don’t overlook the Bakery on Boardwalk. Fresh and I mean fresh cucumber salad and roast beef sandwich. The bread had its own seasoning. Meat topped with sautéed stuff and a seasoned mayo on bottom of bread. Best of the best. $9.99

That really looks good. Regarding your comments about the fresh cucumber salad, I'm wondering if the cucumbers were grown on Disney property. (Having taken the Behind the Seeds tour multiple times, over in The Land, I know that some of the produce they grow, does end up in the WDW restaurants.) :)

This Meet and Greet operationally works well unlike Let’s say Pluto at AK or Donald at Mexico as examples. They cut the line when he is needing his lunch break but everyone in line has their meet. The other style of break management being making an announcement that Pooh is going for coffee and will be back in 30 minutes leaving guests in line or having to cut their losses and just leave.

I am still in awe of Splash. Another Imagineering marvel. Still winter or Summmer night or day we are getting wetter and wetter and Disney is selling more and more staple clothing in their Gift Shop at the end of the ride. Coincidence I think not.

It was later in the afternoon and I had an anytime FP. I wanted to ride but no interest in being soaked throughout every layer of clothes. During the ride I put on my disposable poncho. Tucked myself in and sat on it. Only my hair was wet. The woman I front of me at the exit had water just running off her clothing. Felt so badly for her the splash from the end outside waterfall isn’t necessary and guests sit there for staging inside for final scene getting wetter and soaked. The water cannons can be turned up or down or even off. These have been ramped up over the years. I wish they’d revisit that

This water cannon after the drop is unnecessary and fully turned up. A mist maybe during the day. Full soaking not pleasant

NOTE. The jumping water room was totally offline and still the first14 Days. Yesterday the jumping ones SOME were again working. Not all. The fountain pots that shoot up still still. But the critter dropping from ceiling is once again back proclaiming his university.

I wondered about the land too or very local growers. So crisp. Generally only like that from my own garden. A surprise.

I did the night safari on my Christmas trip. I felt so bad for the driver. There was a guy there with his family that was something else. Yelling at animals to wake up, standing, spitting over the side. And DS and I were lucky enough to sit right behind him. He was the entire show. The CM spent most of the time trying to wrangle him.

And that is when you hope security meets them at the end of the ride and escorts them out of the park.

I agree with you about Splash, we rarely ride it because we detest getting wet on rides. The ride is fun until you get to that wet part. We have a fastpass coming up for our July trip but only because it is part of our Frontierland Friday theme so we must do all Frontierland attractions. But you can bet your boots there will be two people on that ride sporting their ponchos.

Duly noted 9 times out of 10 the Annual Passholder touch point is dramatically longer than any other touch point. Still passholder head out of their way to tap in there. Me I went to the general tap. See how much shorter?

Many buses missing cute phrases now.
