We were wondering if this sad-looking theming ended up anywhere, in Scary Farm? Just watching out for the little guys. Theming. Perfect for Scary Farm! Photo taken on Sept.11/19, on the way to Marketplace.

What a surprise, huh? Sad to read about the entire park, which I enjoyed back in 2013. Thanks Robb and Elissa.

Cedar Creek Mine Ride - Cedar Point CoasterMANIA! weekend. June, 2017. Got it's own "What's In The BIG Shed?", too. (o;

^ Yes, we're very lucky that we have the time to spread out a visit like this. I do not envy families with 1+ children, who have to navigate scheduling and cost for their vacations. That said, and since it is Sunday (Day of Rest, right?), here's our photos from our Day Off #2, spent mostly around our Knott's Hotel. I also decided to not take many photos that day. Gave my camera a (partial) day off, too. But - we did head back to the Knott's Marketplace for another look-see. And check to see if we bought enough, um...."edible souvenirs" to take back with us. And some time in the pool and jacuzzi, too. I also discovered a beer I enjoyed better than what I started with (Oktoberfest) on the trip...Shock Top. More "fruit flavoured" to my liking. I stuck with that, for the few days we were still there. And..........Pizza! I remember there being great pizza at Amber Waves in Knott's Hotel. So we did a mid-day meal with a wonderful all-meat one. Which of course, we couldn't finish. Cold pizza in our hotel room. Yummm. First thing that happened, was that the room clock suddenly went Star Wars at noon. Hmmm. Is this a sign of things to come/happen? We got a new clock, eventually. Pizza Time! Looked awesome to us! Yes, I use and knife and fork with (most of) my pizzas. I'm old and feeble. That's my excuse. Back to the hotel room with this half. It tasted great, cold too. Where theming goes to die. Or....gets ready for Scary Farm. On the way to Marketplace. Working on GhostRider again. Turns out GR was pretty much closed, all of the week we were at Disney. Outside the hotel. I just love seeing big tropical plants. We are definitely in S.California! Shock Top now becomes my "Brew of choice". They allow you to take alcohol back to your room, as long as it's not in any glass container. Hence, the green plastic cup. This day ends (mostly) with David checking in on every News channel he can. I went swimming again.

"Don't Try To Lay No Boogie Woogie On The King Of Rock And Roll" Long John Baldry

^ Could be both. But it hit me when I posted, about it possibly being a Meet 'n Greet....I figured the entire new area would be a Major Meet 'n Greet for them, like Galaxy's Edge is, to a point. Main characters were sometimes walking around and interacting (and posing for pix) with the gp everywhere, we saw in DL.

Things that give you bubbles, are wonderful things!

^ I believe that the house that Belle and her father live in, will have the Fast Pass machines set up (inside?) for the "Beauty/Beast" attraction. What I remember reading, somewhere. Great photos, Bert! Gaston's looks pretty epic.

Perfume Genius Just Like Love

^ Oooooo really new photos! Looking forward to what you post, Bert!

^ Cool pose! What's the name? Here's a fairly recent one of Stella, in a "different" relaxing spot. Taken just before we left for our S.California trip, beginning of Sept. Up in our neighbour's arbor.

Dismantled pinball machines?

New photos have been posted, of Fantasyland's expansion. And one of the Fantasy Springs construction. Thank you to whoever took these photos. Beast's castle. This could be (the top) of the new Fantasyland Theatre being built. Where the new Fantasy Springs Hotel will/should be. Bayside Station (monorail) is there on the right.

Time for afternoon cocktails!

Voyage isn't that old, compared to Bear-y Tales and Dinosaurs. So maybe an overlay of some kind would be better, rather than gutting it out and putting back one of the two previous incarnations of the dark ride. Then after the year(+) Celebration is over, they could just put Voyage back to the way it was before. Easy. There's also the opportunity to do a Knott's Ghost Town overlay on Voyage. A real shoot-em-up! My 5 cents. And something is eventually going to be done with Mystery Lodge. One assumes. One hopes. Hopefully something will happen with Mystery Lodge. (Sept.2016)

Playland at the PNE. Simple. And worth repeating... My fourth time posting about this, apparently. So Playland.........BUILD ONE! Good spot for part of it. (o; (As viewed from the West Coast Wheel in Playland)

At The End of the Day, It's All About the Dessert Party! After our meal at the Smokejumpers Grill, we had time to do a leisurely stroll around Pixar Pier, before heading to where one sees the World of Color show in the lagoon area of the park. Or in our case...sit, eat, drink and see the show. Up to this point, I hadn't told David I had bought us two spots for the World of Color Dessert Party. I bought them nearly a month ago. And the price had gone up nearly $10 since I last went and enjoyed it, in 2016. $84 per person. Which is roughly over $100 in Cdn dollars. No matter. I knew what we would be getting, and for my $$$ it would be worth it. So eventually, I let David in on what was going to happen. And since we were walking right by where one queues up and checks in, he pretty much figured it out. So we did just that, got seated at a great table, were joined by a nice couple from Asia...... and we ate, and drank, and watched World of Color, without having to stand around, etc. The show was great, the sweet and savory plates of food were too much for us so we took the 'leftovers' home. And after the show was done, we casually strolled out of the park, and to the pick up spot for our shuttle to take back to Knott's Hotel. The whole day went really well for us, heat and all. And our next day would be our 2nd "Day Off" to enjoy however we wanted to. Including PIZZA! Pretty. Luxo is on over there, but he still didn't move at all. Set up for Dessert Party and VIP seating. King Triton overseeing the festivities. Us at our table. Le Menu. Le food and drink. Very enjoyable, including our drinks. It got dark pretty quickly, after 8pm. The show started at 8:15. Photos from here on are fuzzy, but "interesting" we thought. (DM) = My partner David took these shots. (DM) (DM) (DM) (DM) (DM) Looks like a duck, right? (Smoke from the fire) Three times she blows! Time to head to our hotel. A fuzzy shot. Much, much better, this one.

Somebody just posted a great overhead shot of the Resort! Thanks, whoever took this from their plane flight!

Happy National Boston Cream Pie Day!

^ Well, I'll be the first to admit, it is a bit crude, eating that way. We like to call it "Informal Dining." Every hotel room I've been in, does not necessarily come with a table and chairs, etc. So I've learned to improvise, especially with food brought back to the hotel room. And you've never seen this before, in a Trip Report? Cool! It's worth trying, by the way, if you'd rather not sit with the food in your lap, in your hotel room etc. A small face towel usually works. Why waste a larger one, hmm? Here's three Knott's shots, David got of me while on the rides. Here's me in the 2nd car, hand up. Front row, once again with the hand out and up (mine is the higher hand) so he can find me, heh. Front row, on the right. (o:

Not to be confused with BingBong... (o; Great report! And every home should have a ketchup robot!
