back from Disney World

Post by bradhig »

Man I had fun at Disney World. I got my picture taken with Cinderella and Aurora. I regret not getting to ride Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain cause the lines were too long and I didn't feel like using fast pass. Why were there soo many parades seemed like there was one every five minutes. The Tomorrowland Transit Authority kept breaking down any know what was wrong with it? Didn't know we had to ride the monorail to get into the park.

Did you go on Splash Mountain? I didn't go Space Mountain either when we were at WDW in September. To get into the Magic Kingdom, you can take either the monorail or the ferryboat. We actually took the ferryboat and that was fun. Did you watch the Dream Along With Mickey show from in front of Cinderella's castle. Did you get pictures with a lot of the characters.

I only got pictures with Cinderella and Aurora at the Character hall of fame. I saw Belle in blue dress doing a show and saw the Dream Along With Mickey show in front of the castle. In one parade there was a villain float with most of the villains but no Lady Tremaine on it why? I wished I could have found more characters.

Here's the show with Belle I saw several times. Anyone know what this show is about.

I met them at Character Hall of Fame. I don't have a close how to find characters otherwise. What is that show Belle is doing? I never found her wearing her yellow dress.

I asked Cinderella how she could be wearing her ballgown when it erased at midnight and she said her fairy godmother made her a new one. I asked Aurora why she was wearing pink and she said Flora won this morning.

That's Storytime With Belle. We saw it when we were in Florida. I had my picture taken with Jasmine and Aladdin together. I saw a lot of characters when we were at WDW. Did you get into all 4 Disney Parks. I had a lot of pictures taken with the characters at Disney's Animal Kingdom. That's where I saw Lilo and Stitch as well as the Pooh characters, Minnie, Donald, Pluto and Goofy as well as Koda.

Here are our pictures from our trip to Florida in September and our trip to California at Christmas.

We only went for Mom's spring break week. We hit Busch Gardens, Magic Kingdom ,Universal Studios , and Kennedy Space Center. Maybe next time we go to more Disney parks. There are princesses in EPCOT? Are they in the other two parks? We stayed near Old Town Orlando.

There's characters at all 4 parks at WDW. I had my picture taken with Sorcer Mickey at Disney's Hollywood Studios. I missed Beauty and Beast at Epcot as well as Snow White. There are characters at all 4 Disney Parks at WDW.

Try Picasaweb to download pictures. You can download a lot more. I've got 1024MB with Picasaweb.

Magic Kingdom has two actual parades. Celebrate A Dream Come True at 3:00 and Spectromagic, which is at night and the times change depending on how late the park is open.

You are confusing the street party for a parade. That runs 3-4 times a day. Its part of the new What Will You Celebrate? campaign and you should have stayed for it. It's a lot of fun.

As for Lady Tremaine, she is not as recognizable to most people, which is why she isn't in the parade, but you can still meet her and the stepsisters in Fantasyland.

At Epcot, they have a Princess character meal where all 6 real princesses come to your table as you eat. The only princesses found at Animal Kingdom are Pocahontas and Princess Atta (if you count them).

I saw part of the Celebrate Dreams come true parade when I came back from riding Tomorrowland Transit Authority. I got some pictures of it. That was where I saw the villains float.

Lady Tremaine and the step sisters were in the Christmas parade at Disneyland when we were there at Christmas.
