Continuing to share the random video clips I found on my camera – here’s the Magic Kingdom marching band entertaining the crowd in Liberty Square. Have a wonderful and safe holdiay! 🙂

Just doing some camera maintenance and found a bunch of videos on both the Canon and my Nokia phone. Here’s some video I took of my new favorite parade at Walt Disney World. Prior to this parade having made it’s debut, my favorite had been Continue reading Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It!
It was fresh and flaky, and prepared with a subtle orange dressing. Loved it!
The sooner I get on the road, the sooner my next trip will happen. Just trying to look at the bright side 🙂
Making my way to the bus back to OKW
Not ready to leave yet but duty calls
We are stuffed from Tony’s and decided to take a turn around the Magic Kingdom on the Walt Disney World Railroad.
We want to color! But we have no coloring sheets, just crayons.
The walls are white… LOL!
We liked this – and we grew up Italian! Three thumbs up 🙂
I think the last time I ate at Tony’s was 1985!
Here comes that pumpin’ partyin’ parade again!
It’s starting to be a zoo up here in Fantasyland. We cannot cut through the castle for some reason so we have to go around.
Cruising through Fantasyland
…Please hold on to the moving handrail
The view from my seat with Chez Bro and SIL, just outside the Plaza Restaurant in the Magic Kingdom
Love the color of the Tronorail – and after all this time, it’s still a thrill to see it 🙂
"Those who do not believe in women’s rights should watch out for women’s LEFTS!"
Wow talk about a successful "point and pray" shot – castle AND Astro Orbiter in one swell foop!
Heading through the Rose Garden, which is in full bloom. It looks and smells heavenly, a sharp contrast to my last trip to theWorld back in March.
Doesn’t it look like he’s ready to hug us all? love this parade more and more each time I see it.
What a shame that Disney decided the world needed yet another character meet. They deleted the actual THEATER to make room for it. This sign is therefore erroneous; there’s no theater inside.
The theater was a respite from the heat and the crowds and I am sure many will miss it. I am also sure you’ll make lots more revenue off PhotoPass for pics of hot, sweaty, cranky tourists who no longer have that little corner of the world into which they can escape. Bummer! 🙁
This is in the bus stop area on the park side of the bus lane (as opposed to the lagoon side). A little let down at the lack of pithy Walt quote on the sign
Zero delay getting in – people entering but not throngs. Gonna be a nice day 🙂 First order of business – I am well-hydrated from my coffee-fueled homework frenzy of a morning, so you know what that means…. LOL 😉

You know, I don’t believe they had this part when I saw this parade in Paris. The only reason I was able to take a few shots of the parade is because there was a log-jam at the Town Square and I was unable to proceed out of the park until it cleared up. Then it was time to make like a salmon, as people poured into the park for the late hours. One woman on a scooter was actually shouting, "Make way for the wheelchair!"; she was referring to herself. I made her go around me.
There was a similar log jam on Apopka-Vineland Road, only no parade to blame – that’s just Saturday night in Lake Buena Vista for ya.
Are we ready to eat strawberries tomorrow? 🙂

I always hear the intro to this parade in French in my head. That’s because I bought the recording at Disneyland Paris.
Is this Gepetto? It looks sorta like Popeye…

That’s not soda. That’s salad.
Unfortunately, the parade started while I was on line, so I have to wait anyway. I am not hungry now but I will be by time I get to the hotel. At least I shall be redeemed by eating something good!

Here in Florida, we get these amazingly sculpted skies that are works of art in their own right – and then you get to use those skies as a backdrop for MORE stunningly beautiful art work.
Walt rocked. Totally.

Fried, sugary white food. OMG I am in SO much trouble.
It’s just a freakin’ ZOO here – trying to get to my pretzel!
Suddenly seized with the urge for a pretzel from Fantasyland. More white food, for which I will have to pay!
I have actually never stood here through the whole thing before
It is my fervent wish that somehow, someday "Song Of The South" can come out of hiding. I’m glad that Brer Rabbit is represented among the classic characters in the Hub.
What I Hear: "Dreams come true! dreams come true!"

Well, the vegetarian dish was comprised mainly of rice, which was neither wild nor brown. so I figured if I only eat half the beef and not more than a bite or two of the "bowl", I could use the taco salad as an excuse to consume fresh vegetable matter and hot sauce. 🙂

I see a vegetarian burrito on the menu – but no churros!

You don’t often catch Disney in this sort of mistake. Once upon a time, this *was* The Pirate And The Parrot but now it’s Tortuga Tavern. A very rare theming error, in my experience!

Not sure a dromedary is the same as a camel, quite, but probably a lot of people don’t know what one is, so I thought I’d puit it out there and see if it flies… I know, I know – the carpet flies, not the camel. Ha ha ha

I’m pretty sure that Cinderella’s Castle was fashioned after some historic ones that still stand in European countries. So it’s kind of amusing to glimpse its spires between the palm fronds and exotic flowering trees; amusing but also beautiful.

The party just pumped itself up all the way down Main Street USA to the Hub by the Castle.

When the street part music started, the Mayor and his wife started to boogie.

No hidden Mickey or grilleed cheesus in my food today. Glad I got this, because I might have to be bad for my next fuel break. The Terrace is closed – not the seating part, just the counter service. That’s where they serve a pretty good salad here in the Magic Kingdom.
So if I’m bad, how bad should I be? Casey’s bad? Or bakery bad?

There was a time I would have succumbed to the heavenly aroma of either of those choices for my mid-morning nutrition break.
Wanna know what I got instead?

Hmmm you think maybe that there paint is wet? 😉
There are still walls and facades around the storefronts in the town square and on Main Street USA. I got this picture just in time – two CMs came ’round to take it all down while I ws typing this.
From behind the facades and walls, one can hear hammering and saws. This used to be considered "bad show" – allowing the audience, the guests to glimpse maintenance activities. Just another one of Disney’s customs that has gone by the wayside – probably because it is more expensive to do it off hours and heaven forbid the stockholders should get anything less than more, more, more.
*sigh*
I went into the Exhibition Hall to ask a CM to recycle my camera batteries. He told me that he HOPES the tiny theater will come back, where you could go to take a nap and get out of the heat – and watch cartoons 🙂

That’s what the CM at the toll gate said to me as she waved me through. Sometimes, just hearing someone say it makes it so. Therefore, I’d like to shout out to you all, everyone reading this –

See all those people in orange? They are clustered around the ashtray. That used to be me. I just (2/6) passed my 3 year anniversary of quitting – nope not even a single puff for three whole years. I can’t imagine going back. EVAH.
I have noticed that the number of smoking sections in the parks seem to have dwindled. Let’s hope it’s a trend!

It’s only 11:20 am and there are already multiple meltdowns happening all around me here in the Magic Kingdom.
Folks, if your kid is of the age to still need a nap, it’s cruel to keep them up late and make them get up early just so you can have your fun and get your money’s worth (dammit). I know this is your vacation of a lifetime and you paid a lot to be here… but if your kid is gonna melt down at 11:20 am due to lack of sleep, maybe you should wait a couple of years till they are old enough to handle it.
This has been a public service announcement from Auntie Tink *~*~*, who hates to see the hollow eyes and the tear-stained cheeks 🙁
