JanJ and KenJ's September 2015 Trip Report

Here's a picture from our dinner at the Cali Grill. Ken and I have never been up there for dinner when it's still light out and it was cool to see everything from up there.

A huge storm rolled in just as we were leaving! We ended up going to Trader Sam's and Ken and I got the Nautilus (very cool souvenir) and MrHub got the Zombie drink (also with a souvenir glass). It was fun, but once and done for us.

Sunday was breakfast at Kona Cafe and then off to the MK for the morning. We had a FP for 7DMT, BTMR and SpM, but the one for BTMR was cancelled as the ride was down due to a thunderstorm. We were given another one for almost any ride, but we ended up leaving before taking advantage of it. The rain kept coming and we needed to dry off, so back to The Poly we went.

The rain finally stopped so we headed to Disney Springs to get some dinner. We ate at Splitsville and it was amazing!!

After dinner we noticed that Characters in Flight was working and we had never been up at night so off we went. It is definitely a different sensation, to say the least, but seeing Disney Springs all lit up was all really cool.

Next - MK again on Monday and Via Napoli for dinner!

Thanks guys - I will let Ken know since he's the photographer.

Monday started with breakfast at the GF Cafe - it was yummy as usual, and then it was off to MK for some FP's. The sun was out and it was going to be a warm one.

This is what met us when we got off the monorail just before 10am! I have never seen this many people lined up for the security check and they were being very, very thorough! It took us about 10-15 min to make it through the line, but once we did, all was fine.

The crane was out as they are doing some work around the castle and the Christmas lights were going up!

We went on Buzz Lightyear and I caught a break as the ride actually stopped a couple of times. I had my best score yet, but it was still pretty pathetic! Even the overhead lights came on and the rail in front of us just appeared out of nowhere. Ken was hoping we were going to get to walk out, but that didn't happen.

MrHub and scrappy are pros at this ride!

Then it was off to the HM, one of my favourite rides.

Ken was able to get some really good shots!

Dinner was Via Napoli and we were all so excited for it. Of course, we had to stop at France and Germany for a refreshment, or two!!

Finally dinner - it was delicious as usual and there were no leftovers!

We wandered around Epcot a bit after dinner and noticed the miniature train in Germany was all blocked off, so Ken took a photo over the hedge. Looks like they are changing things out for F&W.

Today is AK this morning and then MNSSHP tonight!!

The long lines are happening because security is looking for selfie sticks. We saw a couple confiscated at AK this morning (for return on your way out).

Hope you had as great a meal as we did!

Tuesday morning was AK with FP's for Dinosaur, the safari and Kail River Rapids. I purchased the AK Starbucks mug to finish up my collection and it also tried to rain again, but it didn't last long.

Anybody else think the guy on the left looks angry??

Some pictures from the safari....

We had dinner at The Plaza in MK before the Halloween party. It was the first time there for Ken and I and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Nothing like a good burger and fries!

We met up with Spook and her hubby for some of the party and had a great visit. We do have a picture of us all, but it's on the memory maker, so will have to post it later.

We did some trick or treating and rode some of the rides. We tried to buy one of the special ghost cupcakes, but they were all sold out before 8:15!

You can easily tell that the HM is one of our favourite rides!!

We watched the fireworks, which were amazing and are better than the regular Wishes in my opinion, and then headed back to the Poly just before midnight. It was a long, but fun, day.
