Disney Trip Part 2

After a full day at Epcot in a "bit" of heat, we were hoping for cooler weather the next day for the Magic Kingdom. We could hope all we want, it didn't come true. It was another scorcher, but we didn't care we were at Disney World! While waiting to get in the park we had some fun with pictures of the Halloween decorations.


Ain't she strong?


Those are the smallest ears I have ever seen!

We started off the day in Tomorrow Land. We actually started with the Buzz Lightyear Ride (which we did twice). We had so much fun. Nothing makes you feel as much like a kid as that ride does. It was a lot of fun.

Of course we did EVERYTHING else as well. And we HAD to hit Pirates of the Caribbean (did that twice too). Danny really got into it.


Such a kid.

Jamie had never been to the Country Bear Jamboree so we made sure to hit that while we were there this time. We were BOTH disappointed, they didn't even sing the main song. I hate to say it, but that REALLY needs to be updated. Some of the animals only blinked with one eye...creepy.


Overall we had a great time and decided to be a little creative for our picture in front of the castle.




Of course we stayed for Spectromagic and we managed to get curb seats which was really nice, and we weren't about to give up our front row seats to kids. We were just bigger kids! :)

Here is a small video of our time at the Magic Kingdom"



As we approached our last day we were really really REALLY hoping for some heat relief, but again we were not blessed with cooler temps. It was just HOT!!! But that did not slow us down. We started the day with Rock n' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror, and from there we planned the rest of our day around when each of the shows would be on.

One of the highlights of our day was finally getting to meet some of the characters. Of course you can't got to Disney and not stop by to see Mickey.




Then we got to get pictures with some Pixar Characters that neither of us have ever gotten pictures with before....The INCREDIBLES!


Look at all those Incredible parents!

We did the back lot tour and had a TON of fun doing it. We were selected to be part of the show. Jamie was made the captain of the boat and Danny was made the engineer. Jamie got splashed with a bit of water while Danny had 600 or more gallons of water dumped on him! It was refreshing and a lot of fun. We also went to the Honey I shrunk the kids set and found some wonderful Play Dough.


Jamie LOOKOUT!

We made sure to stick around for Fantasmic. It was just really awesome to watch, always a great show! After watching the show we had time for one more ride and decided to head back to Toy Story (which is a SUPER fun ride!). We had a lot of fun waiting in line and taking pictures. Here are just a couple.







Once we got off of the Toy Story ride we knew the vacation was over which definitely did not make Jamie very happy.



Here is a short video about our day at Hollywood Studios.




That was our vacation in a nutshell. But the blog is not over yet. For the end of this 2 part blog you get a special treat. You get to see a short video of some of the outtakes from our trip. These might be just funny to us, but thought we would share!

What "original song" didn't that play at the Country Bears? The attraction was recently renovated a year or two ago, from what I remember.

If this was renovated they did a baddddd job. Music was mind-numbing and animals were in bad condition, broken lights, "winking" moose and bears-- well except for the fur -- that looked good...maybe thats what they refurbished?

Walt Disney World management is rather cheap when compared to the West Coast. There used to be a Christmas and summer show for the Country Bears as well, but they haven't put money into it nor run those other shows in years.

I will have to ask Shannon about the Country Bears "original song". Glad you had such a wonderful time and it shows in your videos and pics. Can't wait until your kids are old enough to take along.. the pics and videos will be awesome! Love, Linda
