Boathouse at Disney Springs

Boathouse Restaurant

 

I Was able to get a lunch reservation only three days away…there was a late night slot open sooner, but after 9:00 is too late for us to eat… 

We checked in an hour early hoping  to  get in a bit sooner.   We Sat outside a while waiting , and walked over and watched the amphicars going in and out of the water, but they only got us in right on time.     Also, looked around the gift shop a bit..

This is where the amphicars are. 

The hot air balloon ride was near by, and interesting, to watch, too (it’s tethered).

Great service…and I’m not easy to wait on…he never lost his smile.

The food was amazing …. one serving  was enough for two people…I took over half of mine home for dinner…the FF were more like curly fries that had been cut up…really great…

I just had a plain hamburger with grilled onions…Bob had the filet sliders and steamed clams…everything was yummy..

There was a bar inside as well as a large bar and seating outside on the water.

Lots of really cool decorations.

 

And if anyone wonders, they offer the Annual pass discount.

Magnet, and Photo pass Studio.

 Disney Springs

I made reservations at the Boathouse for today at 2:00. We got there really early and so we went over to get Bob’s s magnet (I got mine last week). I was really surprised to find not one, but two, pass photographers there taking pass photos.. they weren’t there when I picked up mine…but of course I had to take advantage…

After getting the magnet, which only took about two minutes, we still had an hour to kill,  so naturally we headed over to the photo pass studio.  The photo backgrounds this time were different (except for one) and a bit better…and we got six instead of  the three I got..

Disney Springs two days ago.

 Went to get my AP magnet…this is when I stopped to get the missing photos I talked about earlier…while I was there anyway, I did the magic shots they offer.

Wasn’t really crazy about any of them.

 

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

  This was weird too…none of our ride photos showed up, yesterday...so I went to the Disney Springs photo pass office, today to look for them…we found the first two, and this one…but the other two that are from the mine, including the video, wasn’t available.  At least I have samples of it from last summer, a bit further down.

Here’s the new one …

And a few from last year .

Click on the arrow twice…it’s 29 seconds long.

Three years ago…Makayla and I. 

Got both views this time, but not the video.

Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion

 So we went to the Magic Kingdom twice last week…the main reason was the new on-ride photo of the Pirates of the Caribbean….we got stuck in the last row and literally I was nothing but a blue blob…so went back two days later and requested the front seat for a good photo…
One cool thing we found though was magic shots at the haunted mansion…both days got us different shots…

Original and new.

I’m the blue blob in the back row..

At least this time we knew where to look…

And the Haunted Mansion regular shots, magic shots, and ride photos.  Two days worth.

Kind of sad for Bob, his night vision is so bad, he literally couldn’t see anything on the ride…☹️

I took this while standing in line, just think it’s a cool area..

The photographer on our first visit didn’t offer the hearse and ghost horse
shot…she had us thumbing the wrong direction, too…maybe she was new here.

And here below was the ride shot…obviously we didn’t know where to look…it’s a cool shot but I miss the hitchhiking ghost shots from before.

At least this time we knew when to smile…apparently,  I still couldn’t figure out what direction though…I’ll have to try again…

 Welcome!

My travel blog was being over-run with Disney 

Photos and I wanted to add so many more…so the solution is a new blog  just for WDW photos…and maybe just a bit of Disney talk….
