Did you know?

You can get your hair cut in the Magic Kingdom. For real! The barber shop is in the back left corner just after you walk in the park. If you want to do this, get there early.

Toy Story Mania

This ride at Hollywood Studios is a crowd favorite. To be honest though, this picture of M shows how we feel about it:
Ok, it isn't that extreme. It's not that we hate it, it's just that for length of time you have to wait to ride it we were underwhelmed. It's like playing Wii's Carnival Games in a moving cart. It was kind of fun, but we all agreed we much prefer the similar Buzz Lightyear ride at the Magic Kingdom.
You have to wear 3D glasses, which isn't ideal for little ones.
Keeping score and seeing who wins is kind of fun.

Our favorite part...

the line.

If you want to ride it, get in line or get a fastpass early. They'll be gone by lunch time. Our family will be on Rockin' Roller Coaster.

Wow!

It has been way to long since I did anything with this blog, but I have good news! We've got another Disney trip coming up soon. Hopefully, I'll be able to post some new items.

Something Special

Looking for something out of the ordinary to do at Disney. I reccomend an Illuminations cruise. You depart at sunset from the Beach and Yacht Club and are taken around the waterways that connect Hollywood Stuios and Epcot. Then your boat is parked under the bridge in Epcot between England and France where you sit to watch Illuminations.

As a huge fan of this fireworks show I can tell you that on the water is truly the best place to see it.You can have the boat decorated for an occasion.

We were there for Megan's birthday. The cake was ordered from the Beach and Yacht Club. It tasted as good as it looked.

We rented a pontoon boat, but you can get this too.

Our Fam enjoys the ride.

This is pricey, so it's a good idea to get another family to split the cost if possible.

Epcot's Flower and Garden Festival

Disney's gardens and landscaping are always something to see, but during this time they go all out!

There were even extra playgrounds and activities for the kids!

Caribbean Beach-Pirate Room

Last year we thought it would be a great idea to book one of the pirate rooms at Caribbean beach resort. Our little buccaneers loved it! The theme was carried over really well in the room and made our stay really special. M's stitch takes a ride on the headboard.

The fridge is in that barrel.

Flame Tree BBQ

Don't ever eat here. That way the line will be shorter for me.

Okay, I'm joking. This is one of the best counter service restaurants in all of Disney World. Don't let the long line scare you off. It's worth it. Despite having such a long line, they actually keep it moving very quickly. Being southern, I am picky about BBQ, and this was amazing.
The seating area is wonderful and really lets you have a break from the park. It is all outdoors with a few covered areas and a fountain. It might take you a minute to find, as from the front it appears there is no seating. You have to go around the back of the building and follow a short trail. Stands with condiments and silverware are located around the area so you don't need to worry about that until you find your table. We had such a relaxing meal here. I would have sat longer, but we had a fastpass to use. Again, the kids loved the ducks that were wandering everywhere.
