First of all, have fun and be safe on your travels this month!!!
I hadn't ever really paid that much attention to the Shanghai Disney exhibit here before
I'm always so envious the Asia parks get such cute merch
I waited out the storm in here:
If you've got to wait out a storm, that's a pretty great spot!
I asked a photopass photographer to document my "drowned rat" state. She didn't seem to understand why I wanted a photo of that, but she took it anyway. Some people just don't understand the importance of thorough trip reporting!
Come on PP Lady, don't you understand every moment must be documented??? I don't have any wet Epcot photopass pictures, but I have wet AK ones...from Kali, lol.
Oooh, this is so pretty!
CapDuff noticed a photopass photographer without a line and politely asked her for a photo with Figment. She was a little confused, but she obliged.
Again, I'm always shocked when they are surprised by anything that people ask here
You got some fun ones, with the little drawings and things! The boys haven't done this since our first trip, but I might make them do it again...or maybe I will. I haven't read too many reports of the new baggie and card system they've implemented, I wonder if they still draw or sign in their native language. Hmm..something to check on! We like to pin trade around the world - starting with one pin, trading in each country, and photographing our progress, but I think we'll add the KidCot stuff back in this time too.
Our room from december was somewhere back there behind Pongo!
Just when I was about to give up and get a cab/uber, the bus arrived at 8:52, a half hour after I’d started waiting, and 25 minutes later than it was originally supposed to arrive.
Ugh! Flashbacks to nye!!
I experienced my first little moment of solo-trip-shaming when the photopass photographer looked at me, confused, and said, “…all by yourself??” …Um, yeah. And thanks for making me feel weird about it.
darn you, photopass photographer!!
First, I went toward Pandora. I was happy to snap some photos with such beautiful blue skies, since most of my Pandora photos seem to have grey skies in the background and really don’t do the beautiful land justice.
So pretty with the blue sky!! All mine have gray skies. Fingers crossed for some blue next time!
I noticed some casting changes compared to the performers I was used to seeing in this show. The new performers were good, but it didn’t feel quite the same. The woman playing “The Gift” had a fabulous voice, but it just didn’t have the same rich quality as the person I was used to hearing in that role, so it didn't seem quite right for a song like "The Circle of Life." The balance for the "Can You Feel the Love" duet was also pretty lousy, and you couldn’t hear each voice well with equal weight in the mix, which is something I always find distracting and disappointing as a music major.
for us the "new guy" was Nakawa (or however you spell it, the "good looking" simba guy), and the sound was wrong too. It felt like they were purposely keeping his mic quieter and our Can You Feel the Love was kind of weird. I still always cry during it, and at this point I have no idea why. Maybe my ducts just know it's tradition
Right before we got to the loading area, there’s a spot where you can see people coming off the ride, and there was an adorable little girl exclaiming to her parent, “My underwear is wetter than my shorts!!”
I have been there. I understand the little girl's issue, lol
These are some of my favorite pins!! The boys bought them to use as traders and I snagged the Tiana to keep for myself. They're so pretty!!
stopped in to the concierge desk to book myself on the UnDISCOVERED Future World Tour at Epcot for the following morning
I'm anxious to hear about this! I'm considering a tour if/when I go solo again in May. The problem is finding one Matt won't be jealous I'm doing. I want to do Sense of Africa at AKL, I think it might be one I could do without him being sad about missing out.
