I'm excited for this trip report! Somehow I never read either of your previous reports so I did just that. Funny, while reading your Sept 2012 report, you mentioned scooter accidents and I remembered seeing the same exact ones and finally I realized, we were there at the same time! 
Small world that Disney is!

Love this trip report so far! I was the one that made it into the background of one of your photos in Epcot from last years TR.. we were staying at French Quarter at the same time! Not this year.. still patiently waiting for November to get here!

hee hee!
So we had gotten our first ride out of the way.. and no one had maxed out their score..whaaaa..
Up next we had FP+ for The Tomorrowland Speedway....otherwise known as asphyxiation alley.. seriously.. they NEED to fix this ride... make them "green" at the very least.. because between the lack of oxygen because of the nasty fumes and the fact my spine needed to be realigned after this is a one and done attraction for us!
Of course the mister was a MUST stop on the walk over
Ok back to the actual point of this.. FP+.. I scheduled this one first because IF our MagicBands or the FP+ didnt work it would be no great loss.. well it did work..whoot whoot. We knew what to do because we had been part of the FP+ testing the year before!
Declan was riding alone..
Ziah with her father
and Taejan with me!
"Driving" along.. now along with the lack of oxygen and my spine being bounced my leg ached..totally forgot how hard those pedals are to push and maintain.. oh and we apparently had a weakling a few cars in front of us because it kept stopping for 10/15 seconds causing a back log.. especially because they only had ONE LANE running!!
As we unloaded a CM gave Taejan and Ziah their offical Speedway licences..
Now I wanted to head to the NEW Fantasyland... I needed to see it all...
Up next.. the battle begins!

After walking through the new Fantasyland we , naturally , wanted to ride the new Under the Sea ride!! If I had only known then what I know now...well... anyway.
Gorgeous Queue..longer than anything..but gorgeous...
Well the ride is cute.. but oh my I think Ariel smoked a little happy grass because at a few points she was a little bit crazy looking.. yep I said it!! Declan was like "Mom.. Ariel scares me a little"..me too son..me too!
We walked towards Barnstomer
Taejan LOVES this ride ( which makes me laugh because when we MADE him ride it in 2012 he said and I quote "I'm gonna poop myself "..because he was so scared...
Ziah and Declan rode together:
Taejan rode with daddy
I was left all alone...whaaaaa
We rode this one twice..nope no pictures of the 2nd time and I dont at all remember who rode with whom...
Now it was Dumbo time but first we stopped in the giant sugar filled tent.. anyone else get a sugar rush just by breathing the air in here?? Let's also remember my kids can't walk by a CM without having to pin trade....
We let the kids go hog wild in the play area...stand by was only 5 minutes but we played anyway.
Dec rode alone:
Taejan with me
Ziah with Daddy
now it seems we rather like the creepy Ariel... so we just HAD to go see her again...
See..Declan is a little freaked out..
Now this is when "the song" becomes stuck in my head.. and to torture my son I sang it..over and over and over for the next 15 days...
Up Next..Be Our Guest..will we get in?

Up Next..Be Our Guest..will we get in?
Now with "Ive got gadgets and gizmos aplenty" properly stuck in my brain, we headed over to Be Our Guest...
This is what the line looked like:
But we had a secret weapon.. I had gotten a FastPass Plus before we left. Would it work? Well we just didn't know because we don't think we were SUPPOSED to be able to get said FP+..
Went up and yep..we are IN!! Whoot Whoot!!
it was a tad busy..
We hadnt pre-ordered our food..so we ordered.. and in we went
And this was the view from our table..
Please dont ask what we ordered..I have NO idea and I didnt write it down..not a big foodie..love food but tracking it not so much..Except I know Ziah got the Mickey Meatloaf...
Taejan got..oh I have no idea.. but he seemed to like it
And before long we were done.. it was a good meal..that much I wrote down..ha ha ha..
In fact we needed to digest..and it was hot.. and what better place to go that It's a Small World.. it would only be better if I was allowed to bring a BB gun..just saying ( and mostly kidding)
Ok so we got that ride out of the way..usually its ONCE a trip..so day one and I dont have to ride it again..whoot whoot ...
We missed Peter and Wendy..whaaaa
I was dying to see the new Tangled Bathrooms... so much "controversy" over them on the various social media and message boards.. well I have to put my 2 cents in.. they are AWESOME.. what amazingly themed BATHROOMS..and sitting area and more..loved loved!!
And look..my cell was dead and we were hot and our FP+ for Enchanted Tales wasnt for a few..so we charged up
Details and awesome themeing.. total WIN for Disney IMO!
Up next The Beast?

it was now time for our Enchanted Tales with Belle FP+... I was looking forward to this..Taejan was UBER looking forward to it because Belle is his FAVE...
Waiting..
This was the point I HATED my point and shoot camera.. it totally SUCKS taking indoor pictures...oh well
Pretty cool..
So the CM is getting people for parts..my LOVELY tween daughter turns into instant grump girl and wont even look at the CM.. Declan and Taejan..well for Declan Disney is his safe happy place..at home he's Mr NO I'm not trying anything new, I dont wanna be the center of attention..in Disney he will try anything. Taejan LOVES to be the center of attention.. so needless to say they both got parts:
Wait..before you look at Taejan ( isn't he too darn cute?)..notice the face on the little girl picked to be the Beast.. NOT HAPPY.. her mother told me she had been Beast before and was not at all wanting to be him again!
That there adorable CM noticed the little girl was less than thrilled and right away fixed it for her.. so my boy got to be Beast... oh my..
( this would cause an issue in about 13 days BTW....)
I have a video of the beginning of the show..but I wont bore anyone.. Taejan is cute, does a great Beast and LOVES dancing with Belle!
Oh yeah..he's in love
Look look.. grumpy girl who refused to take part in the show or the little parade they do actually allowed us to take a picture!
I have to say we really enjoyed this attraction and I so wanted to be able to do it at least once more!
Up next.. a few of our favorite things!

So.. its now about 12:23 ( according to the time stamp on my pictures).. We had done so much including eaten and it was noon.. LOVE it!
Ok so.. we had these:
and we knew we had to use them today..as we wouldnt be back in MK until after they expired... So we headed off to attempt to use em!
First stop.. Haunted Mansion..my absolute FAVORITE ride in all of WDW.. and I'm not ashamed to admit on our first trip..way back in 1999 when I was 23 almost 24 years old I rode this one with my eyes closed because I was a chicken.. yep..Owning that!
Standby was all of 5 minutes..so no need for those FP's at all
This queue needs some TLC.. the books no longer work..very sad..
I think we did 3/2 for this ride..most likely Taejan and Declan with me..
Declan wanted to do a mission..bad..so guess what we did next? He was driving me nuts so this was the only way to shut him up for awhile..
After that we went over to Splash.. that had a decent enough wait time we used our epic fast passes!
Decln really is with us..he hides for the drop ( this would haunt him in 13 days...if I forget remind me)
After Splash we headed over to Pirates which proceded to stop in the YO HO YO HO room for about 20 minutes.. at least it got "Ive got gadgets and gizmos aplenty" out of my head for a few minutes..
Now came time for our Peter Pan FP+ so we headed off to the shortcut..but my kids had to stop...because..of course..a CM had some pins!
and out of nowhere I got a face full of camel spit.. awesome.. was the first of many times.. apparently I have a giant target on my face!
notice the little monsters I call my children are rather amused?
Now for the 4th of my top 4 rides!
At this point Declan is still wanting to do some Sorcerer missions and I could use a break from him and the husband.. not gonna lie.. so we separated..
I took Ziah and Taejan to Philharmagic..we got one of those cool red things
Not a fan of this show .. the 3d is just not great ..maybe its the glasses..but I find Its Tough to be a bug which is older has better 3D.
Up next..a Date for Taejan...

OMG how cute!!!!!! There is NO better place to be up at 6am than Disney!!
Agreed 100%!!!
After Philharmagic we were simply wandering when Taejan spotted his newest love...
Meet Bridget..
Taejan was taken in with her immediately..and they proceeded to talk and make plans to go to the ball..
Now mind you...Taejan was VERY interested in this ball.. he would have followed Bridget anywhere I think..
Instead plans were made to meet in that very spot in a year...little does Bridget realize we will actually be in that very spot in a year..lol
We kept wandering..
At this point Thing 1 and Thing 2 were in lovely moods... if I've never mentioned it Taejan and Ziah pretty much hate each other.. all the do at home is fight ( and since they are homeschooled they have a LOT of together time to fight).. silly me always thinks it will be different in Disney.. and it was..until right about NOW.. sigh.. so the fighting began ( I'm sure I'll make it into someones TR for having "those" kids or being "that mom"..such is life).. what's a mom to do? Why bribe them of course.. snack credits to the rescue!
We take our snack and head through Storybook Circus..seeing the clowns ( who are not the least bit creepy BTW) on the way
We were heading to the fastpass tents where they had tables to sit at, shade and charging stations..
Since Eric and Declan were still not done we decided to go ride Pooh.. I loved this ride back when it was new..now its not nearly as good..lol
Finally we got a text from Eric..they were done..told em to meet us at the People Mover.. we headed over..and of course..its down..so its Carousel of Progress time instead... its all good we needed to cool our core's down anyway.
TTA was up and running when we got out of COP so we hopped on and all rode together!
and just because we had time and we all wanted to try and max our scores we jumped on to Buzz again...
and because I am so gangsta
Now it was time to say goodbye to MK..
Oh yeah..can't you just see in on their faces...they are so pleased with each others existence..
And to any of you that read our August 2011 TR ( link is on the 1st page) you know I had a LOT of taejan meltdown moments..well here we go again... at the boat dock waiting not so nicely!
I love the ride over to Fort Wilderness
Up next HDDR

We arrived via boat to FW.. the kids really needed to blow off some steam ( before I blew them up!)
Oh no...what do I see..Meltdown Boy!
we wandered around, Ziah bought ( and then returned because it didnt work) a hat. We saw the horses etc...
We got our lovely picture done
then it was time to go inside...
I was so pleased with our table.. in 2011 we were all the way in the back this time..so close to the stage!
Declan showed us the proper way to drink orange soda
We had hands down the best waitress ever.. Lisa.. she made our night.. called Taejan Beebs ( because he looks like Justin Bieber..go ahead google Justin B age 6 or 8 or whatever and see for yourself). She was amazing and so much fun!!
Eric took full advantage of the free beer..lol..
taejan got to play the washboard
The boys did the little parade..the girl..well she sulked!
We headed back to the boat and , as always, got chatting with the people in line.. I really think all the nice people are in Disney.. we always encounter the best people!
Hopped a bus back to POR and our room was nice and clean and ready for us!
Oh just for funnsies I turned my Map My Walk app on all day ( hence why I needed the charging stations).. now mind you this included every ride, boat, bus, actual ride as well as walking..it was def cool to see how much distance we covered in a day! ( well from when we entered MK until we got to HDDR that is)
and that concludes our 2nd day in Disney!

Ok..seems I forgot something.
I got this cool Jack lightup at FW..and wore it the whole way back to the resort all lit up then put it in our room window
After we got back to the room we had a snack then the kids begged to go for a swim..I said NO because it was late and we had rope drop plans for the morning... but they won out..
Ok NOW it was back to the room and in bed ...lol
