robbalvey Posted May 19, 2007 Author Posted May 19, 2007 The first pictured robot that is holding it's arms up is from Space Mountain. It appeared further down the exit tunnel then where it is now. It's arms are up because it used to hold a "camera" that would video tape the guests just before stepping off the exit tunnel ramp. But everyone knew that the cameras were mounted in the wall. Now what was significant about the dog?
Divv3k Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 This is a total guess but was it the old dog from Pirates? I'm sure I heard they changed the Dog when they upgraded Pirates. Total guess as I said, so likely I'm wrong. Not been to MK since 1998. Loving the updates!

The dog was sitting with the boy, 'Billy' and also his pet frog outside while his mother was talking to him from in the house......in addition to being next to Billy while he filmed everyone?
mxman005 Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Reed came by and told me you guys had to rush out of there.. Totally cool. There will always be a next time. Glad to see you guys and kid tums enjoyed your day.
robbalvey Posted May 19, 2007 Author Posted May 19, 2007 at the end of the magic kingdom video when elissa says to kidtums "say hi to daddy" im sure kidtums gives robb the finger lol LMAO!!! You're RIGHT! It totally does look like that! She's probably all "Screw you guys for taking so many pictures and letting these creepy furries pet me!" --Robb
the sound Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 If i ever get to go to Disneyworld, I'm so badly getting one of those "1st time visit" badges.
Meteornotes Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Awesome pictures, especially the one of Ellisa, Kristen and the furry ones. And you're not the only one that greatly prefers WDW and MK over Disneyland. Oh, and the words "I'd rather go ride Stitch" should never be used by anyone ever. The new Tiki room cannot possibly be that bad, can it? dt
ginzo Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Oh, and the words "I'd rather go ride Stitch" should never be used by anyone ever. The new Tiki room cannot possibly be that bad, can it? Yes. It would violate the Geneva Convention to subject prisoners of war to any attraction featuring the voice acting of Gilbert Gottfried. I'd rather have bamboo shoots burned under my finger nails.
USRoadTripper Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Awww...what a great TR! Almost makes me wanna have a... *smacks self repeatedly* Lets try that again. Aww...what a great TR! Almost makes me wanna become a baby sitter! -Julie
snuggles Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Awww...what a great TR! Almost makes me wanna have a... Churro?
GMAN962 Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Great update, Robb! Oh, and another thing... Is it me, or does the guy in the background look like "Oh no you di-int!" and at the same time, like he wants to shoot you for flashing the camera?
hifalling Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 I am sooo jealous! I wish I could skip the Pirate Premiere event tomorrow and visit WDW! My two cents! I totally caught airtime on Space...and I was in the front of the rocket! Seriously I thought I was going to be launched from the rocket! Tiki Room under new management is quite humorous! The Disco finale CRACKS ME UP! I love the people mover! and lastly... The Nexus of Suck is sooooo true! Thats where the Seagull of Death pinched my Ice Cream! Please wave your fist at that stupid RAT with Wings! Oh... and can u send me a Vanilla/Chocolate swirled soft serve Ice Cream from Tomorrowland, and a pretzel the size of my head from Epcot or MGM! Thanksh! chuck "Equal Opportunity Disney fan, End this EAST COAST/WEST COAST WAR!" garcia
moinab Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 We would have been at MK, too, but my 6 year old hasn't been feeling well, so we're going next week (hopefully.) After countless trips over the past three years, I finally saw the "new" Tiki show two weeks ago. It's an abomination. I'm enjoying the reports on KT's first theme park experiences. We're expecting our third child in late October/early November, so we'll be hitting WDW with him/her (find out in three weeks) before Christmas!
Zen Coaster Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Great reports so far. Kristen'll love looking back on these photos when she's older. It's good she has some rides under her belt and has certainly beaten me. I didn't get to Disneyland until I was 12 nor Magic Kingdom until I was 24 (but will be going there much more often from now on). I also prefer MK to Disneyland as while the latter has Walt Disney's touch, MK feels more world-ish. And yes, don't get me started on the new version of the Tiki Room. While it could be much much worse, the original was iconic so why change it?
TheRealTinkerbell Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Congrats KidTums, you've gone on ur first ride EVER! YAAAAYYYY!!!!! By the looks of the video, it seems that she really enjoyed it! Have fun in Florida guys!!!! P.S. Robb, standing IS the cool thing to do!
Louise Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 I'm enjoying the reports on KT's first theme park experiences. We're expecting our third child in late October/early November, so we'll be hitting WDW with him/her (find out in three weeks) before Christmas! Congratulations Maureen! I can't wait to get back to WDW, so much has changed since I was last there. Stitch, Monsters Inc (duh), Tiki Room, I haven't even ridden Pooh yet! As long as it's been since I was in Florida, it's been even longer since I was at WDW, and even longer than THAT since I was at MK so... I need to get back.
Guy T. Koepp Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Awesome pictures and video. Sorry, I'm on the road so I'm skimming. Did KT throw up after ride? My God it's hard to type and drive at the same time. Guy "Loving the fact that the Monster's Inc. Laugh Facotry is realy a MILF in desguise." Koepp
jedimaster1227 Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 I'm guessing you guys aren't going to Epcot today, because if you were, I might be able to see you... It would have been nice, but I hope you all have a great time anyways! I'm sure Kidtums is really loving this whole new world!
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Glad to see Kidtums liked the People mover! I didn't, I whacked my head on the side of the car when we got to the little disney world model. "Hey so thats what disney world looks-- OW! My head!"
stingrock23 Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 KT's first ride is also one of the best. The TTA is one of my favorites, and always has been. Why would the MK Space trains go to the Matterhorn? Are they planning on replacing them sometime soon?
itsme102 Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Great first disney ride for KT. TTA is awesome. And "The nexus of suck" is the best name for the entrance of Tomorrowland ever.
thefitness Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Cool! I need to get back to the Disney parks. Was BTMR the first coaster you and Elissa rode together since KidTum's "arrived"?
robbalvey Posted May 19, 2007 Author Posted May 19, 2007 I'm guessing you guys aren't going to Epcot today Actually we are at Epcot today! Sitting in the lobby of Boardwalk at the moment feeding KidTums. We'll be back at Epcot in a bit. --Robb
coasterjunkie91350 Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 I gotta say your little daughter is without a doubt the most adorable baby she has her life cut out for her keeping up with you two I hope you guys have a safe trip home. ps she seemed a little mad in that last bit of the video
IwantRevenge Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 don't let KT on mission space (sorry that was a bit cruel)
