I'm finally back! It's just what I do.
Spectaculab - I never heard of it. If it’s still there next time we visit, we’ll have to check it out. I’m always looking for things indoors in the summertime to sit and cool down.
It definitely checks both of those boxes, but the bonus is it's also a cute show. I recommend it!
I don’t think I’ll ever get my kids on Figment again. They hate that ride. I don’t hate it, but do miss the older Figment ride.
I miss the older ride too! I got to do it one time as a kid and now I'm always telling Alex he just has no idea what the ride is supposed to be...
I love the BC! Nothing beats walking to/from Epcot! This summer we tried the YC for the first time and really liked it - more than the BC actually.
Interesting. Why did you prefer the YC? I've mentioned trying it to my family instead of BC if we stay there outside of a DVC reservation because of the guaranteed balcony, but they are not fans of the idea.
The Peoplemover always had a long line when we were there in June. In all my trips, I never saw that line as long as I saw it this summer. We always waited though; it’s one of my favorites.
It's so great! But I am spoiled and stubbornly refused to wait in line for it since I have never had to before. It's a whole new world, I guess.
Lol now that they've been bus"christened" (I just can't use that other word when speaking of your children) they like it, they really like it!
Thank you for sparing my children. And yes, they love those buses now. Good thing, because we likely won't have a car on our next trip.
Omg lol but I actually love this scene in SE
it makes me think of sitting in my grandparents living room watching TV with them in the late 70's/early 80's. I however have a face........
Are you sure?
I can see the scene bringing up nice feelings of nostalgia...until the girl's head swivels around 180 degrees on her neck and you are confronted by her soulless empty blank face.
Finally got to read this. I thought of your
Disneyland TR when we were there this summer. Now, I can revel in your WDW report before we go back in November. I love the title. We are big Pooh fans, so it's great
Looking forward to reading the rest. Congratulations on the PHd! That's a massive accomplishment. Hope your new job is going well. Sorry I never got to see you in Austin.
Hooray for going back in November! We are actually going back to Disneyland in November, so we'll just swap coasts again. And thank you, the job is pretty good so far! I'm sorry I missed you in Austin as well! There were a couple of other people I wanted to connect with as well while I was down there and I ended up seeing nobody because I pretty much just worked all the time while I was there.
So, so so true. We usually ride Figment, once a trip and all I can think is how can this could be a better ride. Maybe one day.
Yes! I hope they update it, but I really don't want to lose Figment. He's a classic.
I love it! I did this with the girls and they actually didn't find it that bad... They both drink seltzer water with me, and I think Beverly tastes a little like seltzer or club soda.
The first time I did it with my kids they said it wasn't that bad at first, but then quickly changed their minds. I love that they had forgotten so I was able to do it again.
How long did it take you door to door? I always figured it would be long but wasn't sure exactly how long..
I think BC to MK via Epcot took us about an hour. We entered Epcot at about 10:40, I ordered our lunch at Cosmic Ray's from the monorail which was at 11:09 according to the receipt, then it says that we arrived for our order at 11:50, which was after having entered the park and tried Peoplemover. So it really wasn't bad at all!
It's so bitter sweet, isn't it?!
Yes! I can tell I'm going to have a lot of these bittersweet-babies-growing-up moments over the next several years.
The lines for the people mover seem to be more normal these days. Boo.
That's not okay! That was my go-to guaranteed beloved attraction with no lines. Boo indeed.
Just found your TR. looking forward to reading more about your adventures.
Thanks for joining in!
