Xmas party pics

 Megan bought a Santa hat...with Mickey ears.

 Megan with Santy Claws

 He was a great character

 My favorite pic of them together

 Oh yeah... I was there too!

 She tried to sneak it out of the park, but didn't know how to pick it up.

 Us waiting in line for Jack

 She doesn't smile like that for me. Just saying. lol

 Waiting in line for Scrooge Megan took a picture of this water playground because it shows (what she thinks is) Dumbo's Mom's trunk in the window.

 Soap suds disguised as snow fall down on the streets of Disney during the party

 Inside Casey's Corner where we ate the hot dogs

Waiting for Santa this weird guy wanted a photo with me.

Hot Dog!

We ate at Casey's Corner for dinner and I have to say it's my FAVORITE place to eat at Disney World hands down!

Not only is the food delicious, but it has big portions (which makes it worth the money spent) and a classic theme to my favorite sport, Baseball.

What's not to like about that?!

Pictures coming up next!

Megan meets Santy Claws

Now here's a girl having a REALLY good time at Disney!

It was his first year to be at the Mickey Xmas party and he was so popular they had him come out early before the Party even started! The line gets so long they told us, that they've had to bring him out earlier just so everyone can have a chance to see him.

We were lucky to get in line early and be the 2nd couple in line!

Disney Quest

For the first time this year we went to Disney Quest. We had free tickets with our hotel stay and decided to try it out before going to Mickey's Very Merry Xmas Party.

Overall it was ok. There were old school arcade games, pinball, shoot'em, and racing games. Skeeball, basketball, air hockey and even a few VR rides like the Pirates of the Caribbean which was similar to Midway Mania.  They even had a "Buzz Lightyear" game that had you crawl into these cars that sucked up balls the other passenger shot at the competition. When you were hit your car spun around. Pretty neat.

Megan loved it but is it worth the price of a ticket? No way. I say if you get free comp tickets then check it out. Other than that...you can skip it.

But given the chance to go again for free, I would.

More Magic Kingdom pics

 More pics from that day

 Megan took most of these pics from my phone

 Because hers "mysteriously" died while on Facebook the whole day

 Thankfully pictures was all I'd let her do on it

 And she loves Flounder

 The castle at night

 Rapunzel's tower

 Pink castle

Us on the Jingle Cruise. It's an Xmas version of the ride offered only in December. I'm glad I got a chance to experience it!

The Story

So that night at the Magic Kingdom we came away with a story to tell...watch how long it takes Mrs. A.D.D. to tell it.

Cinderella's Castle show

Truly amazing thing to see!

Tangled restroom

So Frozen gets to be around half the park and Rapunzel gets...this.

Dumbo ride

This girl LOVES her some Dumbo!

Little Meremaid ride

Megan smiled the whole time.

Picture time!

 Gotta admit, Megan sure took some good photos while we were there.

 What can I say? It's Disney! The place looked good!

 Her pictures of Big Thunder Mountain

 They look professionally done!

 Belle's castle

 LaFou Brew pic

 Haunted Mansion. Megan loves this ride but it was under refurbishment so we didn't get to ride it.

 Me on the People Mover!!

Us in line for Big Thunder Mountain


More coming tomorrow!

Lafou Brew break

We bought Lafou Brews at Gaston's Tavern. This fruit concoction is pretty tasty, so we've made it a point to drop by and get one whenever we pass by. (then she walks into the Belle Shop to look at hundreds of things she can't afford to get)

Tradition!

Big Thunder Mountain

Pirates of the Carribean

Megan's favorite ride at the Magic Kingdom. I love it too, but the place was crowed due to a cheerleading competition going on that week.

Space Mountain

Scariest ride at the Magic Kingdom....hands down!

The Peoplemover

An extremely dull ride that does nothing but move around Tomorrow Land. I don't get the appeal but I always make the most of it when I ride.

More ride videos coming shortly.

Snow White ride

We went on the new Snow White ride. Not worth the long wait but overall a fun ride. For those familiar with Disney World, the ride is a smoother version of Thunder Mountain.

Xmas at Magic Kingdom

Xmas decorations at the Magic Kingdom. I don't think Megan could be in a happier place!

Kilimajaro Safari (3)

 Megan took some pics while on the ride.

 This one's my favorite.

 Cheetah!

 Lioness

Rhino.

And more tomorrow!

Kilimajaro Safari (2)

Kilimajaro Safari (1)

Our final ride at Animal Kingdom that morning was one of Megan's favorite. The Safari ride is pretty cool, I admit. You get up close with a lot of animals which makes it feel so much cooler than being at a regular zoo!

I'll post more later today...

Survivor recap

 For the first time in the history of the game (excluding seasons with returning players) I guessed who the winner was gong to be on the first episode!

From the very beginning I picked Natalie to win because she'd done the Amazing Race and would probably be able to win at Survivor with that previous experience in place. It got Hayden from Big Brother far when he played but being a guy you don't last long in this game.

As I've said before picking the winner with all returning players is easier because I have a good idea of how everyone will play but with a bunch of unknowns it's very hard to do.

That all said, I was cheering for Keith to win it all. He was my favorite on the show. But the good guy hardly wins in this game.

As for the next season, I find it interesting but am a little said that didn't do another "All-Stars" like they've done for every 10th season prior. Don't know why they decided to break tradition because I was really looking forward to seeing some great returning player come back.

I like the idea of White Collar vs Blue Collar vs No Collar (Who I think will get decimated early in the game) but I wish this had been for season 31 instead.

Oh well.

Had a dream I was on Survivor last week. I didn't win but Jeff brought me back for All- Stars because he liked me.

Ah to dream!!

Dinosaur ride

My favorite ride....because the dinosaur at the end scares Megan every time!

Primeval Whirl

A fun ride we discovered last year when we went. Now it's a "must" ride for us whenever we visit!

Yeti Ride

One of Megan's favorite rides at Animal Kingdom. I have to admit, I didn't like it the first time but it's grown on me now and I enjoy it.

More vids coming later...

Animal Kingdom Xmas (3)

 Megan took a few pics when we arrived.

I'll show some ride videos tomorrow. See you then!

Chicken Dinner

The Adults win again and restore order to the back to back wins from the Youth by establishing their own back to back themselves!

1st Quarter

The Adults drive down the field and punch in an easy TD!

6-0

2nd Quarter

Adults open up the quarter knocking on the Youth's door. They score again making it 12-0

The Youth counter with a wide open receiver who makes it all the way in. To add insult to injury they even get the extra point, making it 12-7

But before half is over the Adults score again, making it 18-7

3rd Quarter

No score by either team.

4th Quarter

Adults find a receiver in the endzone ending the game 24-7

The Adults Defense was key. Making several stops and collecting 6 interceptions!

It was quite a game!

Werido in Downtown

Don't know why, just know he was.

Xmas came early!!!

Just got what I wanted for Xmas!!! Will Muschamp is Auburn's new Defensive Coordinator!!

We now have 2 of the best coaches on both sides of the ball!

WAAAAAAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!

Santa Bowl '14

The Youth want the trophy back, but the Adults intend to keep it another year. Who will win?! Find out the exciting conclusion tomorrow on the battlefield!

I'll also try to post my commentary of the game tomorrow evening on the blog.

Should be fun!!!

Here's where we stayed last week. It wasn't bad but I would like to explore other hotels next time we go just to explore a different scenery.

Disney Arrival

Here's me goofing off around the hotel grounds.
