What a great morning!! I love that Under the Sea was your first ride...one of my faves!
And our verdict? We really liked it! Although I will say, like I mentioned in my last TR, I always compare 7DMT to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. 7DMT is smoother, but BTMRR has more nostalgia for me. That being said, the graphics with the dwarves are awesome! Plus, we had a really fun group who all sang along when we got the the “Heigh-Ho” part
We looped over past Winnie the Pooh and ended up back by Mad Tea Party. The wait time was only 10 minutes! Riding Mad Tea Party before rather than after lunch proved to be an excellent plan
The theming of Mad Tea Party is so cute! Many times throughout the trip, I saw a teacup and saucer in the shape of this ride vehicle, and I was so tempted to buy one. But, I feel like I would have to buy multiple cups so that I could have
one in every color “Painting the Roses Red” is one of my favorite Disney songs because of this ride! I have such a vivid memory of riding this on our last trip, that every time I hear that song, it instantly takes me back!
This was a cool way to people-watch! Both my mom and I adore children, so it was fun to watch the kids run around and have a ball. But, it was also hilarious, because kids would get so upset when they’d have to leave the play area to ride Dumbo They would rather play on the playground instead of going on the actual ride! And then the parents would get frustrated with their kids and yell at them for being sad!
But not too long! We had a very special lunch ADR to get to!!
Super sweet and kind of ya!Two nights before we left for WDW, we were doing some last minute shopping at Kohl’s when we ran into one of my mom’s patients. She is a 14 year old with Down Syndrome and is cute as a button We told her about our upcoming trip, and I was asking her questions about Disney. She had mentioned that her favorite ride was Journey of the Little Mermaid. It seemed like a no-brainer to ride Journey of the Little Mermaid first, in honor of my mom’s adorable patient
Aw! I think Ariel would have been my second guess My mom and I love that ride too. It's definitely better since they fixed the lighting.
HaHa…That meme of Abby Lee! That's so funny, and definitely true of most moms at WDW at one time or another! I speak from experience
I have never gone on the teacups in all of my trips…isn't that odd? I have walked by many, many times but always on my way to somewhere else. I may have to stop and ride one of these days! I hear that song, "Painting The Roses Red" on Pandora all the time and never knew it was from that ride.
Be Our Guest for lunch is my favorite meal there. I like that you can sit wherever you want. I haven't sat in Belle's room with the music box yet…next time I go, that's where I'm sitting.
Great update!
A pink Dumbo is an excellent choice! That's a great shot of the Beast's castle, too.
What a great morning!! I love that Under the Sea was your first ride...one of my faves!
We love 7DMT! It is especially fun when you get a group that sings along at the "Heigh-Ho" part!
I've never rode the tea cups. I may try it with minimal spinning.
Yes I loved those cups! But we bought so many cups last time I was trying not to buy any.
Haha. This would be really funny to watch. I've also seen kids whine about wanting to go back to the pool! I remember doing that as a kid too. I just wanted to swim!
I can't wait to hear about this!! I love BOG reports!
I adore Under the Sea and we generally ride multiple times each trip when we have the kids with us I know some people think it should be.......more, but I like that it's somewhat basic and along the lines of PP and Winnie the Pooh. I think the animatronics are great and like you I love the "Kiss the Girl" scene!
As for 7DMT I do like it but not nearly as much as BTMRR. The best part is the inside part and also the views of NFL. It's great in the dark! Also love that they kept the Old Hag from Snow White's Scary Adventures.
Looking forward to your BOG lunch. We love dinner there, did lunch once and DH has no interest in going back
Super sweet and kind of ya!
I have yet to ride the new Dumbo and check out the circus tent. I should do that this next trip!.
My husband and I love Seven Dwarfs Mine Train! We did the Early Morning Magic Hours back in May and go to ride it seven times in a row. It was the best morning ever!
Love the Mad Tea Party! My husband does not like spinny rides so he's not really a fan and we rarely go on. But I did buy one of those mugs you are talking about!! I decided on yellow on a whim, but always regret it so it's a good idea that you just didn't get one at all! lol
Glad to hear your lunch was good! We had a not so good lunch there but I think it's what we ordered. The turkey sandwich looks much better than what we had.
I don't think it's your head, I think it's the ears. I only have 2 pairs from Disney and I find them too tight to wear for long so I prefer to wear ones from Etsy.
We just noticed the ghosts shooting at each other the last time we went too! And I love Memento Mori.
I love BOG, too! I had the turkey sandwich the only time I've been there, but am thinking about trying the quiche at our January adr.
Disney ears give me a headache and it's pointless for me to even buy them. I don't think my head is larger than normal, so maybe they just run small.
I'm surprised Memento Mori isn't located right at the exit of Haunted Mansion. Very cool store!
You and your mom are so cute!
Yay Be Our Guest! I'm fairly certain it's much better eating there than at a mall food court.... (some people are ridiculous!)
I'm glad you enjoyed everything, it's definitely one of if not my favorite QS places!
Sounds like such a great afternoon!! I think the minnie ears run kind of small because afetr a long day of wearing them they always hurt my head and ears!
I don't think I've ever been to the Haunted Mansion gift shop either. Where is it? I know the ride doesn't end in with a dump shop. Hum I need to look for that in February.
Great update! I wasn't crazy about BOG lunch, but I think I ordered wrong That soup looks delicious!
Love the pic of you and your mom in the castle…you look a lot like her
Another big-headed Disney mouse ears fan here so I literally feel your pain!
The turkey sandwich was good, but the soup and cupcakes were what turned it from good to awesome! The lady next to us (the same one who said she's had better service at the mall) sent back her Croque Monsieur, so I wonder if those are not the best choice to order.
If I may ask, what did you order?? I've heard inconsistent reviews of BOG and I wonder if certain dishes aren't to some people's liking! And thank you It's funny, people always would tell me that I looked like my dad, but more and more people are saying nowadays that I resemble my mom
Me too! Regrettably there is no Cinnabon where I live, so whenever I travel I always check for one. I have the recipe for the Main Street Bakery ones and have made them at home sometimes, but it's not quite the same.One thing that you must know about me is that I LOVE cinnamon rolls! Cinnabon in the mall is my guilty pleasure
I have never been to BOG but I see so many great reviews, I really need to try it sometime.Overall, our lunch was absolutely wonderful! We decided right then and there to make BOG an every-trip meal
I've never noticed that! I'll have to remember to look for it.We always notice something different every time we go on Haunted Mansion. This time, during the ballroom scene, we noticed the two ghosts in the paintings that come alive and draw their guns at each other!
Awesome! I would love these. I enjoy cards too (mostly crib) and I like to spend time with my girls playing cards, so these would make that time even more special. And in case you didn't know, it's not that easy to convince a 16 year old to stay at home and play cards with her dad It's nice when it happens.Haunted Mansion playing cards! As soon as I saw these, I knew we had to have them. My family loves playing card games, especially Speed and Poker. I LOVE how the royals are the characters from the stretching room!! So creative
We had the roast beef sandwiches and I definitely wouldn't get those again But we enjoyed the fries and dessert and our dinner there as well. We got the french onion soup with our dinner!
I ordered the Quinoa Salad, or something like that. That'll teach me to try to be healthy!!
You probably are a perfect mix of both parents
