Under the Sea - Journey of The Little Mermaid.

The walk in takes maybe 5 mins before boarding the clamshell ride, a ride vehicle similar to Haunted Mansion. I need to get more photos of the outside area during the day.

To put it simply the walk in and ride are brilliant and leaves you wanting to go again!

Great photos Colin. Your tour of the New Fantasyland was brilliant.

I can't wait to see the Be Our Guest restaurant!
Are you going to book for Be Our Guest, let me know and I can see if Becky is working.

I am already booked - I'll find out what day and time when I check my itinerary tonight and let you know.

Little Mermaid queue looks great - very different to DCA.

I agree, the walk through area is much better than the DCA queuing area. Looks like it really adds something. Colin, you're right they've one a good job with this new attraction. It mixes traditional Disney with modern technology.
2023 Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Lines - Disney Wish. Going to be awesome to be back!

Good, closer to the time I will see if she is working, She has weekends and Mondays off normally.

We stayed at Aulani for two nights on the way home, well worth the visit. Arrived home Monday night and back to work Tuesday. Still got two weeks of getting up at 1 am to book the DVC room.

No mucking around there! Straight back to work :)

That's the bit I'm not looking forward to - post-Disney depression! I haven't had that much from recent trips, but I think this big one will be hard to return to work after...

I have no problem going back to work, I like my work and also know we will be back at Disney at the end of the year again and that is a big motivation tool. At least Leanne agrees with going to Disney!

Aulani booked for three nights in a one bedroom and started booking the dining.

I think Leanne is almost packed ready to go!

Fantastic! I was wondering when you'd pipe up about this year's trip. You know that one day you'll have to sneak in a cruise as well :D

No cruises unless you can guarantee it is going to be flat like a lake, I get motion sickness and Leanne would a freaking wreck, bad enough when we fly, have had 3 episodes of being sick on planes. These days I use Motion Eaze, you put the mixture on behind your ears and when it gets smoother I wash off.

Ahhh - that could be an issue!

We were blessed with smooth sailing on our trip, but that was just luck. When we were on board, cast members told us that just two weeks previously it had been very rough...
