'OHANA means CHUNKY! An Aug 2017 Family TR THE END 4/26 - The Last Day and Trip Epilogue!

Day 8 Part 2: Magical Kingdom

We express-bused it over from Epcot to MK. Magic Kingdom was pretty darn crowded that day. We managed to get a later FP+ for Haunted Mansion which was perfect timing as it was right before our Dismeet dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern with @Tracy161! In the meantime we had some time to kill -

I found the princess back drop so we had to get a picture with that. I guess 3 out of the 4 was not too shabby. Wish I could have remembered to get the one at DHS though.

It was so hot today and I'm like literally even more of a hot mess at this point, haha.

We decided to cool off and grab my favorite drink in MK:

Refreshing!

Then we saw that Enchanted Tales with Belle had a 25 minute wait, and since we haven't done this in a really long time, we decided to wait. Turned out to be more like 35 minutes, blech, but hey, there was nothing else we could do but enjoy the cool air while waiting.

We grabbed some Photopass in front of BoG. No magic shots though, in fact MK was the one park we didn't get any magic shots. What's with that, MK!?! It's supposed to be Photopass day, LOL.

Anyways, we didn't get too many photopass in MK just because I was tired of waiting in line and it was so hot.

Soon it was time for a whirl with hitchhiking ghosts...

And then off to dinner!!

We headed towards Liberty Tree Tavern and met up with @Tracy161 right outside! So excited for our dinner at LTT! If you don't know the story, the first time I met Tracy in person was during our 2015 trip - it was an entirely impromtu Dismeet as we just so happened to be riding BTMRR at the same time! Read all about it here.

We checked in and waited in the fireplace area - I know they did a bit of renovation to the restaurant but honestly, I think it looks exactly the same, LOL. Can anyone tell me what is different? We spent the time catching up with Tracy, it was so great to see her again! I think this picture might have been from after dinner but I'm going to show it now in any case:

Tracy looks gorgeous and I look like a sweaty deer in headlights, haha. I did manage to get myself some copper Mickey Ears though. :earboy2: It wasn't deliberate but I've done this a few times now. I'm going to have to take pictures from now on where I can place my head in a strategic fashion where it looks like I have something on my head. :rotfl:

LTT has a set menu for dinner and everyone gets the same feast:

Warm rolls to start

You can't go wrong with warm fluffy carbs!

Followed by our salad course:

Patriot's Platter: Roasted Turkey Breast, Pot Roast, and Carved Pork Roast with Mashed Potatoes, Seasonal Vegetables, Herb Stuffing, and House-made Macaroni and Cheese.

Wow so much goodness. Let's get a close-up of the meats. The stuffing was underneath:

So much carb-y goodness I dont' know where to start! Think the mashed potatoes were my favorite part of the entree.

After we were stuffed full with the savories, we were presented with this glorious concoction:

Oooey Gooey Toffee Cake
Vanilla Cake with Gooey Toffee Filling, Caramel Sauce, and Vanilla Ice Cream

This was fantastic! The last time we were here we had the Johnny Appleseed cake which was pretty good as well but I'm glad they now offer this with the platter as it is so much better!

We all agreed it was a great meal at LTT. Now I kinda want to go back! I've already planned my meals for Sept 2018...but of course things can change in between then, LOL.

Our dinner ended right at the time Happily Ever After was about to start so we kinda scurried around looking for a place to watch. There really weren't many options so we kinda stood at the side toward Tomorrowland, at least Tracy and I did. Steve was walking in some other direction and headed towards main street.

Here are some pictures from HEA I took as we walked around looking for a spot to stand.

The park was still open after the fireworks were done and so Tracy, it being the first day of her solo vacation, was eagerly awaiting her first rides - her night was just beginning! Us on the other hand were so drained from the day that we decided to head back to the Poly. But no worries, we were to meet up with Tracy the next morning at DHS before our flight leaves! So I get to look forward to Tracy Part 2 the next day. That made leaving MK a little less sad.

Here's me and Tracy after Happily Ever After and before we parted ways that evening. See you the next day Tracy!

It was a fantastic day and a fabulous DISmeet night!!! :hug:

:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

We had a fun time being able to park hop so quickly and I didn't have to keep track of where everyone was or send out a bunch of reminders, lol. Photopass Day in all honesty wasn't a big deal. The rare characters had huge lines, and so you really were mainly looking for some magic shots throughout the parks. It was a big deal if you did not already have a photopass package or memory maker as it entitles you to get the pictures you took that day for free. So that is a nice perk for people who don't have APs.

Coming up...our very last morning!! :sad:

I am so excited! My husband and I got married at the Don Cesar (where we are staying), and it holds special memories. So, no matter how many times I've stayed there, I never get tired of it. Then, it's off to Disney. YAY!

Yay!! So exciting! Sounds like an amazing trip!

Such an awesome trip report as usual. 15 people in mid-August I can't imagine but you pulled it off. Looking forward to your next report.

thank you! It wasn't so bad once the ADRs and FPs were done...that was definitely the most harrowing part.

You definitely deserved to sleep in after everyone left. Did you find yourself needing to adjust to what I can only imagine was deafening silence :-)

HAha not quite deafening silience but I'll take it!!
Thank you!!

I had no idea photopass day was even a thing. Looks like a ton of fun. I especially love the jungle book one. That is awesome! We're gonna be there around the same time this year. Hope they do something similar.

They might do it! They don't announce it until later though, which is annoying. It was fun but the lines were long for all the rare characters,

We never got to take advantage of express transportation, but so wanted to. Maybe we could start a petition :-)

YES I'd sign it like 10000 times!

I couldn't agree more. I mean, it's for the cause and all. :thumbsup2

Yes, I believe the cause wants you to ditch school and come down to WDW with us in Sept. :)

I think you and Steve definitely deserved some alone time.

Thanks! Whew it was over!

I love your Mulan tank and Snow White shirt

Thank you! Both from Hot Topic

God I miss the Express Bus :sad:
I still remember my favorite park day last May when we had a PPO breakfast at BOG followed by walking on 7DMT 3 times. We hopped on the bus to AK made the first show of Lion King, then Safari and EE. Next we went to EP and had a relaxing time at WS.

This makes park hopping like it's own ride vs an inconvenience. Just so easy to use. I wish they'd keep it around,

All your PP shots are so cool I think the one in Asia with the panther is my favorite

Mine too!! It was so unique
 
I guess 3 out of the 4 was not too shabby.
Not too shabby at all!

If you don't know the story, the first time I met Tracy in person was during our 2015 trip - it was an entirely impromtu Dismeet as we just so happened to be riding BTMRR at the same time!
This is seriously one of my happiest Disney memories ever :hug:

Tracy looks gorgeous and I look like a sweaty deer in headlights, haha.
Awww, thanks lady but I disagree with your description of yourself - I've never seen you look anything less than gorgeous! :cutie:

I did manage to get myself some copper Mickey Ears though. :earboy2: It wasn't deliberate but I've done this a few times now. I'm going to have to take pictures from now on where I can place my head in a strategic fashion where it looks like I have something on my head. :rotfl:
Yes! We should start a new trend/hashtag for "hidden" Mickey ears :laughing:

You can't go wrong with warm fluffy carbs!
I couldn't agree more! Bring 'em on :thumbsup2

After we were stuffed full with the savories, we were presented with this glorious concoction
This was SO delicious. I'm craving it now...

Here are some pictures from HEA I took as we walked around looking for a spot to stand.
You got some really good shots, especially since our "spot" was both mobile and less than ideal :laughing: :thumbsup2

So I get to look forward to Tracy Part 2 the next day. That made leaving MK a little less sad.
Happy I could help ;) Our Dismeets were seriously some of my absolute highlights of my whole trip :hug:

It was a fantastic day and a fabulous DISmeet night!!! :hug:
It really was :goodvibes

We had a fun time being about to park hop so quickly and I didn't have to keep track of where everyone was or send out a bunch of reminders, lol.
:rotfl:

Coming up...our very last morning!! :sad:
Ugh. Last days are the worst :sad1:
 
For whatever reason, and this is blasphemy, I never wind up spending that much time in MK. But you have me wanting to maybe change that on my upcoming trip. I've never done Tales with Belle, I don't think I've been to Gaston's Tavern, haven't seen HEA yet, etc. etc. What a fun meet at LTT. I haven't been there in a good ten years. I think the recent renovation was just to the kitchen as opposed to the dining room. By the way... if the above pictures are of you looking "sweaty and gross" then I can only aspire to that -- you look great and honestly cool as a cucumber.
 


I think I've only been to Enchanted Tales with Belle once, but you can't beat air conditioning on a hot day. So worth it!

That's fantastic that you were able to have dinner with Tracy! It's remarkable seeing the friendships formed on this board.

Now I'm craving turkey, dressing and mashed potatoes. Haven't had dinner at LTT since 2013. We need to go back soon!
 
That mac n cheese looks amazing!!! Nice that your plans allowed you to have dinner with Tracy :)

It's nice that they bring out rare characters for Photopass Day. It would be awesome if they'd do it a little more often, so more people would get the opportunity without the insanity of spending your very expensive vacation waiting in line to see them!
 


August 16th was Photopass Day!

You Yanks and your national holidays!


:rolleyes:

@Tracy161 was arriving a day early so we were planning to meet up that night. :thumbsup2

Yay!

I couldn't fathom rolling out of bed. I mean, my job was done, right? Haha. So they all had breakfast at Captain Cooks while I just caught more sleep.

Sleep? In Disney? This is possible?

Sienna had other thoughts about leaving that day:

The kid knows what's what.

and just like that, the family portion of the trip was over!

So the real fun can now begin, right? :rotfl:

I did miss them though...just a little. :laughing:

:laughing:


Cool shot. haven't seen that one.

I was not a fan of the tank top above, just kinda shapeless and not that photogenic.

I disagree. I like that top!


Boy, the mosquitoes are awfully big in Florida.


Now that is a cool shot!! Never seen that one before!

Our next FP+ was for the Nemo show (which I have still yet to see LOL!)

Next time?

#BringBackExpressBusTransport

Yes please!


Another cool shot. Where do you find all these?!?!?

We also got some fish eye shots which I think are pretty awesome as I think it makes me look smaller, LOL.

:laughing: Not that you need to look smaller.

The CM told me it was a 3 hour line. Er, no thank you!

No kidding!

I think we also used one of our anytime FPs for Soarin' - we had a bunch since my family never used the ones they got when Test Track was down, so we had a whole stash of unused FPs.

Nice! Uh.... but you still miss them a little, right?

I thought about how fast and efficient we were when we didn't have to stop for bathroom breaks, diaper changes, parking the stroller, finding out where we parked the stroller, or try to make FPs on the fly with screaming kid trying to climb you (or beg for another fidget spinner).

:rolleyes1

FYI: He's starting the hydroponics again. This time he's growing strawberries in the basement. Let's hope it works out!

Post a photo or two!

On the way to Mission Space I got myself a churro, you know, for research purposes to compare them with Disneyland Churros.

Of course.
Wish I'd thought of that. I was underwhelmed by MK churro so didn't try a DL one.


And yet another cool shot. Sheesh!

Oh but look, what's this...we found a rider swap for Frozen Ever After...what?!? SCORE! My sister CT2 must have gotten one for Bryan when he refused to go on the ride. We never used it so it was in our stash of "to be used later" pile of rider swaps and anytime FPs.

Scoring left, right and center!

Sienna: We can't be leaving yet! Is this some sort of April Fools Joke but in August?

Like I said. Kid's no fool. :)
 
Wow, you guys seem like such an awesome family. I am taking my family for their first Disney trip this summer and hope to have them experience even half of the great time your family enjoys. Wonderful pics!
 
We express-bused it over from Epcot to MK.

#jealous
#bringthebusback

I found the princess back drop so we had to get a picture with that. I guess 3 out of the 4 was not too shabby. Wish I could have remembered to get the one at DHS though.

Nope! Complete fail! Start over.

We decided to cool off and grab my favorite drink in MK:

Really!
I like it okay, but not my fave (that'd be Dole whip float of course.)

Then we saw that Enchanted Tales with Belle had a 25 minute wait, and since we haven't done this in a really long time, we decided to wait. Turned out to be more like 35 minutes, blech, but hey, there was nothing else we could do but enjoy the cool air while waiting.

It's a good show (special effects-wise) and you can't go wrong with air conditioning. :)

No magic shots though, in fact MK was the one park we didn't get any magic shots. What's with that, MK!?! It's supposed to be Photopass day, LOL.

Slackers!

Soon it was time for a whirl with hitchhiking ghosts...

Best. Ride. Ever.

We headed towards Liberty Tree Tavern and met up with @Tracy161 right outside!

Yay! I'd love to meet her. :)

I know they did a bit of renovation to the restaurant but honestly, I think it looks exactly the same, LOL. Can anyone tell me what is different?

Nope!

Tracy looks gorgeous and I look like a sweaty deer in headlights, haha.

You both look wonderful. :goodvibes

I did manage to get myself some copper Mickey Ears though. :earboy2: It wasn't deliberate but I've done this a few times now.

:laughing:

I'm going to have to take pictures from now on where I can place my head in a strategic fashion where it looks like I have something on my head. :rotfl:

Do it!!! :laughing:

We all agreed it was a great meal at LTT.

It looked amazing!


You got this while walking around?!?!?

It was a fantastic day and a fabulous DISmeet night!!! :hug:
Also, a great pic!

Sounded like a fun but tiring day!
 
Not too shabby at all!

We tried! Oh well. I technically could have Expressed Bus-ed it over at some point during our afternoon and it probably wouldn't have taken up that much time but oh well!

This is seriously one of my happiest Disney memories ever :hug:

Mine too! I tell that to everyone, about how I had a magical dismeet that was seriously like, meant to happen! :hug:

Awww, thanks lady but I disagree with your description of yourself - I've never seen you look anything less than gorgeous! :cutie:

Aww you are too kind girl. It was a HOT day! But thank you!!

Yes! We should start a new trend/hashtag for "hidden" Mickey ears :laughing:

I'm totally going to do this on my next trip in Sept!! Let the #hiddenmickeyears trend begin!

I couldn't agree more! Bring 'em on :thumbsup2

This was SO delicious. I'm craving it now...

OMG this meal was so yummy! Drooling while posting is clearly a sign I need to go back soon!

You got some really good shots, especially since our "spot" was both mobile and less than ideal :laughing: :thumbsup2

It was like walk, stop, take a picture until we were told to "move along" LOL

Happy I could help ;) Our Dismeets were seriously some of my absolute highlights of my whole trip :hug:

Absolutely!! Mine too! So happy we got to spend time together however short it may be!

Ugh. Last days are the worst :sad1:

Yes...:sad:

For whatever reason, and this is blasphemy, I never wind up spending that much time in MK. But you have me wanting to maybe change that on my upcoming trip. I've never done Tales with Belle, I don't think I've been to Gaston's Tavern, haven't seen HEA yet, etc. etc. What a fun meet at LTT. I haven't been there in a good ten years. I think the recent renovation was just to the kitchen as opposed to the dining room. By the way... if the above pictures are of you looking "sweaty and gross" then I can only aspire to that -- you look great and honestly cool as a cucumber.

You know, I spend less time in MK now just because it's been so crowded and space is so tight compared to Epcot with it's wide open spaces. Enchanted Tales With Belle is cute and interactive but I wouldn't think it's a must-do all the time. Gaston's Tavern has awesome LeFou's brew and cinnamon rolls for breakfast! It's huge!!
I've enjoyed LTT in the past and this time did not disappoint as well. It's just a very heavy meal!
Aww thank you, it was just so hot that day I was covered in a layer of sweat and just felt so gross! But thank you :)

I think you all look great! How nice that you got to have such a great DISmeet. Sharing a meal with friends is a special experience, and it looks like LTT did not disappoint. :)

Thank you! Grateful that sweat does not appear too much on the camera. It was seriously a hot hot day as you can remember!
Always fun to have DISmeets and time spent over a delicious meal :)

I think I've only been to Enchanted Tales with Belle once, but you can't beat air conditioning on a hot day. So worth it!

It was! I was annoyed the wait was so long at first but at least we weren't outside sweating.

That's fantastic that you were able to have dinner with Tracy! It's remarkable seeing the friendships formed on this board.

I know!! It's been great! I've met so many wonderful people on the boards!! :)

Now I'm craving turkey, dressing and mashed potatoes. Haven't had dinner at LTT since 2013. We need to go back soon!

It was so yummy!! Honestly it's better than most thanksgiving dinners I've been to, LOL.

That mac n cheese looks amazing!!! Nice that your plans allowed you to have dinner with Tracy :)

The Mac n cheese was pretty yummy!
We actually extended our stay another day so we could catch up with Tracy!! And who would argue with another day at Disney? LOL.

It's nice that they bring out rare characters for Photopass Day. It would be awesome if they'd do it a little more often, so more people would get the opportunity without the insanity of spending your very expensive vacation waiting in line to see them!

I know! Most of the characters are only available during those Halloween or Christmas parties so the fact it was during a regular day and included the photopass downloads was pretty cool too. I guess if you really cared about that it would be worth it to wait for one special character. I really wanted to meet Mushu as I've never met him but i just didn't have it in me to wait that long!

Your meal looked so good I want those mashed potatoes now ::yes::
Another fun DIS meet :goodvibes

Mashed potatoes were amazing!!
Always fun to have a DISmeet especially at Disney!!
 
Mine too! I tell that to everyone, about how I had a magical dismeet that was seriously like, meant to happen! :hug:
I agree 100%!!! :hug:

I'm totally going to do this on my next trip in Sept!! Let the #hiddenmickeyears trend begin!
YES!!! :thumbsup2:thumbsup2

It was like walk, stop, take a picture until we were told to "move along" LOL
:rotfl: Also... I see what you did there :darth: :laughing:

Absolutely!! Mine too! So happy we got to spend time together however short it may be!
I couldn't agree more. We'll have to make it work again soon :goodvibes
 
You Yanks and your national holidays!


:rolleyes:

Of course when Disney calls a Holiday, it's a BIG DEAL.

Sleep? In Disney? This is possible?

Barely!!

Cool shot. haven't seen that one.

Think it was specific to the Pocahontas backdrop.

I disagree. I like that top!

Thanks! You can borrow it if you like. :D

Boy, the mosquitoes are awfully big in Florida.

So that's why they have all the mosquito repellents out!

Now that is a cool shot!! Never seen that one before!

It was my favorite shot of the day!

Next time?

YES. There will always be a NEXT TIME.

Another cool shot. Where do you find all these?!?!?

Since it was PhotoPass day all the locations with photographers doing magi shots was listed online somewhere and we just headed to those places.

:laughing: Not that you need to look smaller.

That's the nicest thing I've heard all week!!:flower1: Thank you!!!:thanks:

Nice! Uh.... but you still miss them a little, right?

At that point, maybe a little less.

Post a photo or two!

Here you go: Hydroponics 2018 take 1!

He's growing strawberries, cauliflower and I think some sort of lettuce.

Of course.
Wish I'd thought of that. I was underwhelmed by MK churro so didn't try a DL one.

You must have a DL churro!! The Churro is King at DLR. They are much better than at WDW. I had like a churro a day when i was there. On the other hand I eat one churro every 5 years at WDW. :laughing: I feel like the Mickey Pretzel is king at WDW.

And yet another cool shot. Sheesh!

We had to keep up with the photopass ops!

Scoring left, right and center!

Hmm having the family around wasn't so bad I guess!

Like I said. Kid's no fool. :)

Oh trust me, she ain't!

Wow, you guys seem like such an awesome family. I am taking my family for their first Disney trip this summer and hope to have them experience even half of the great time your family enjoys. Wonderful pics!

Thank you so much! Thank you for reading! I hope you have a fantasic trip and feel free to ask me anything about traveling with a big group,

#jealous
#bringthebusback

YES.

Nope! Complete fail! Start over.

you're, right, I should have! :sad:

Really!
I like it okay, but not my fave (that'd be Dole whip float of course.)

I love Dole Whip floats too! OK so maybe it's a tie for favorite drink.

It's a good show (special effects-wise) and you can't go wrong with air conditioning. :)

Air conditioning is the best invention ever.

Yay! I'd love to meet her. :)

DISMeet 2019? :)

You both look wonderful. :goodvibes

Thanks!!

It looked amazing!

It was a delicious and hearty meal!

You got this while walking around?!?!?

:worship:

Well I walked, stopped, took the picture, then walked some more.

Great picture of all 3 of you. I disagree with your discription of yourself but it it a funny description.e

Thank you!! Let's just say it's a good thing sweat is colorless.

Also, a great pic!

Sounded like a fun but tiring day!

It was a fantastic day! Lot's of stuff going on but I guess that's a typical Disney day!
 
So loving this trip report...you have such a way with words...I have two wishes...to be included in future family trip planning, you did such an amazing job. I just want to follow along ...lol the second would be to meet you on a future DW or DCL...us Dis ers need to connect!!!! :mickeyjum:tinker:
 
So the real fun can now begin, right? :rotfl:

I did miss them though...just a little. :laughing:

:lmao:

yes.


Looks like the perfect portion size!

I thought these were really cool! Don't mind our bad yoga poses, haha.

:laughing:Still super cute!


Love this one!


Okay, the fish eye is super cool!

we had a bunch since my family never used the ones they got when Test Track was down, so we had a whole stash of unused FPs.

:dancer:
And that's how it's done! A dream come true!

Steve's favorite ride, LWTL:

At first from the look on his face, I thought you were joking. Then read about his strawberries. :worship:


I LOVE this pasta dish!
 
We headed towards Liberty Tree Tavern and met up with @Tracy161 right outside! So excited for our dinner at LTT! If you don't know the story, the first time I met Tracy in person was during our 2015 trip - it was an entirely impromtu Dismeet as we just so happened to be riding BTMRR at the same time! Read all about it here.

Well, that's a pretty cool story!

Everything was quite tasty and very filling!

That was my take on it too, but... as you say, carb-y.

So much carb-y goodness I dont' know where to start! Think the mashed potatoes were my favorite part of the entree.

I think I liked the stuffing even more. So filling and rich!

You got this while walking around?!?!?

:worship:

I was the same!!! Holy cow!!! Nicely done!

We had a fun time being about to park hop so quickly and I didn't have to keep track of where everyone was or send out a bunch of reminders, lol. Photopass Day in all honesty wasn't a big deal. The rare characters had huge lines, and so you really were mainly looking for some magic shots throughout the parks. It was a big deal if you did not already have a photopass package or memory maker as it entitles you to get the pictures you took that day for free. So that is a nice perk for people who don't have APs.

I need to find out about this "day". Is is often? Once a year? How does this work?!
 
Photopass day looked fun! Jealous of the black panther shot!
Always sad to say bye to ohana but maybe a bit of relief too?8-)

We have LTT booked for June-DH and I liked it so much in December we thought the kids would love it-and with hungry teens figured it is a pretty good value. Bit worried about the heavier meal in June heat vs the freezing weather we had on December 30th though.

I miss express bus too! Really can't believe they did away with that. 3 is fairly easy and painless but 4 parks in a day is now a ton more work! Disney also now lost money on me because I won't stay the whole day and park hop. I will leave and maybe come back later.
