Week 5, Feb 2 - Super Bowl Magic

 

Miles – 1650

 

OK, Where am I? 

I’m still not lost, but I’m testing your Disney prowess.

 

(This is my favorite shirt to wear to Disney.) 

*Last week I was standing between City Hall and the Chamber of Commerce.

This is a shout-out to the lovely family from Toronto that we met in line at the Pooh characters in case they stop by the blog! I hope you made it to Starring Rolls!

 

Super Bowl Limited Time Magic

  

  

Never having tasted lobster bisque, my choice was obvious.  It was so good! I think this might have been what Meg Ryan was having in the diner in that movie “When Harry Met Sally”.

It could also have been this:

This plain little chocolate cake can either be a hockey puck the reason to draw your next breath. I’d had a few hockey pucks on the meal plan, so when a cast member handed one of these as a treat, I wasn’t expecting much. It was so good I forgot to take a pic.

 

The Super Bowl pre-parade kicks off with cheerleaders and football Goofy! 

Referees Chip and Dale follow!

Evidently lobster bisque is the soup of champions, since Baltimore won.  I had a lovely time chatting with a Baltimore fan while watching the parade. My husband scored us chairs on the 2nd floor of the train station, so we got to sit!  That is the #1 best way to see the parade!

Around every corner is something else… 

I don’t want to show you everything. I want you to explore for yourself.

 

~Fruit Price Increase~

Week 2 at Animal Kingdom I got a good sized container of watermelon for about $2.50.  I found it at Liberty Square Market beside the Hall of Presidents for $3.19.  That’s a significant jump.  It’s still not out of line for theme park pricing IF the container is as big as the one at AK.  They didn’t have any that day, so I couldn’t tell.  I will be checking on my next trip, though.  

 

Hidden Seating

Grab your Dole Whip and head toward the spitting camel.  Let everyone else crowd into the outdoor seating outside Swiss Family Tree House like they today.  Just stroll down toward Zanzibar Trading Company. 

 

  

 

 

 

 

Before you get there, though, you’ll see 3 rounded sections with domed roofs. You can go in through the shop down on that end, too.

You will find this waiting for you. No one reads my blog, so this is still our secret.

  

Find the Disney Security officer

Do you see him?  Disney has security dressed like tourists just wandering the parks keeping an eye on security.  I spotted the earphone and wire. He very slowly and casually walked up to the fence, like he was waiting for someone.
