I knew that I had seen "Weekday Ping" dressed as Mulan before! I had to steal the left pic from another post (iamdugsmaster, maybe?) since I didn't see her last week, but the one on the right I took with her for Lunar New Year.

Fantastic morning at the parks today! Crowds are practically non-existent, princess meet and greet was 15 minutes, lots of characters out, including this trio. Alice was doing a little hoe-down. ;p

For LennaH, I think your ship is coming in to port, I see the sails. ;) New Orleans Square.
The sails were designed by Park Decorating to conceal the five 7K Synchrolite Searchlights on the Pirates' Roof. If you stand between River Belle Terrace and the River, and look up at the roof over the Gallery, you can see the sails and the searchlights behind them. The lights are painted "Smog Grey". - zombiesix254.8 #964 3-30-13 1:39PMLike(3) Reply

Wilderness explorer egg hunt in Redwood Creek. The hardest one for me was #6. You could easily solve the puzzle by finding 2 or 3 eggs, but why spoil the fun? I wanted to find them all!
The Ariel Undersea Adventure ride at WDW is virtually the same, down to the un-dole-whipped hair, but of course the exterior and queue are completely different. I didn't expect the mural to be different as well.
Yeah it's more mellow tones in the entire thing. Whereas here they're more bright and cheery. - TDunc5531.9 #4282 3-20-13 8:53PMLike Reply

From what I gather, the basic package includes a cd of your pictures for $70. For the additional $30, you get a Disney photo cd of stock pics and some additional dining and attraction pics. I'm guessing you might be able to add ride photos to your pass as well as getting the prints from character dining. When you figure the cost of prints for just one pic at the parks, being able to print your own from the cd is a great deal. - bluefairy627.1 #174 8-25-12 2:31PMLike Reply
