Garet Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I know that I told you this on Facebook, but I don't think I've said it in here. I'm loving that the trip reports are back! Looks like a great time, and I'm enjoying this TR a lot more than when certain people were taunting me on Facebook the entire time... They know who they are. Couldn't find a facebook one but this is pretty much how I treat most videos or photos I see on facebook. Enjoy the videos/TR's but try to avoid the comments. TPR seems pretty good at bringing the hammer down on idiots but so many other park fb pages or videos make me want to bang my head against the computer when I see the things people write.

Meteornotes Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I forgot to mention that I had a great nap on Ellen's Lesbian Dinosaur Spectacular. And napping there allowed me to stay awake all the way through Spaceship Earth, something I rarely do. So I suppose the Ellen ride is good for something... dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movieguy Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 As somebody who joined this forum just a couple of years after Robb and Elissa were married, it's hard to believe that this much time has already passed since then. Perhaps it's because I still watch all of the coaster expeditions on my Ipod at work to this day, and the wedding still feels recent. Congratulations on 10 years of marriage to both of you. And what better place to celebrate this occasion than Epcot? Still my favorite of all the Disney parks that I've visited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I really like the use of the Vine videos--great addition to the updates. The lighting scheme for Tomorrowland looked cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hooray for emailing Dan! It's still my absolute favorite TPR running gag. We haven't been doing it as much lately because the sad reality is that people just don't seem to use email as much anymore as they do Facebook messaging or texting people! So maybe it's good that Dan isn't on Facebook! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 And while the idea was "cute", unfortunately there wasn't any additional Christmas decorations throughout the rest of the ride. Really thought they could have at least put some lights on some of the scenes, like the expedition camp or something, maybe a Santa hat on one of the animals, you know? Perhaps the hyenas could've worn elf hats, while the lions chewed on Santa's boots and green elf shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 ^ I still think that having Santa take the place of "Trader Sam" near the end of the cruise, with a sign posted ahead of him, saying "Naughty?" That should scare the little ones into being good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 It certainly does seem like they could have done more with the Jingle Cruise. Maybe next year there will be more. And the castle does indeed look amazing! dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yeah hopefully next year's Jingle Cruise will add a few little touches to the ride itself…hopefully they don't put santa hats on every animal though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Definitely seems like Jingle Cruise was thrown together at the last minute. Almost like someone was in a meeting and joked about it, then his boss liked it so much it became reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

805Andrew Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 The Jingle Cruise doesn't seem like its different from the Jungle Cruise except for some name changes. But other than that the Magic Kingdom looks great for Christmas time. Many of my trips to Disneyland as a kid were at Christmas time (as my Birthday is right before Christmas) and it was always great to see it decorated for Christmas. Knott's and Universal may have Halloween, but Disney is the King of Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garet Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Just noticed the comment about the 45 minute wait at 11pm to meet the princesses on the TR, reminds me of a discussion I had with my girlfriend about what we would recommend as a beginner disney park after she got to just walk straight up and have pictures with the princesses, we just did hong kong disney and have finally visited all of them between us (I did orlando when i was a lot younger and she did california pre-cars land) and I was surprised how taken she was with hong kong disneyland. We had some friends who went to Disneysea and though they admitted it was amazingly beautiful they just found it a little overwhelming on the two days they went with the running over the park to get fast passes to avoid the huge lines or the masses of peoples that showed up when a character appeared in a land somewhere. I argued that i'd still always recommend Tokyo because it's amazing in every aspect (disney mickey mouses drawn by the cleaners with wet mops as they went around the park on rainy days and mickey snowmen on the winter days) but she pointed out on even when we went on a snowy day when the parades were cancelled there was over an hour wait to meet mickey. I argued Orlando due to the amount of parks it had but she's adamant that if we ever have a young child or recommend a park to our friends who just want to take it casual she will always say Hong Kong Disney. She just really loved the fact that it wasn't too difficult to stroll up to see a parade or get a good spot for the fireworks, the lines never seemed to hit over 30 mins (except autopia and the parachutes) and generally if you wanted to meet 1 of the characters in their pavilions in fantasy land or a princess was spotted around the park you could easily stroll up and meet them within 10-15 minutes. I think she was just also really sold on how instead of a mad fastpass rush with crazy crowds and shoving like our last trip to tokyo, you could stroll around the park in the opening hours book up a reservation and get in half the park before the lines started to get anywhere near higher than walk-on. I'll still tell my friends to suck it up and go to Disneysea as their 1st disney park if they really want to see what disney can do, forget about the crowds and soak up the atmosphere but i'd be interested to know if anyone shares her opinion, i'm not necessarily talking whats the best disney park just wondered if any-one agrees with her opinion that Hong Kong makes for the ideal "1st disney" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
