We did too! Aren't they awesome?
Thank you!
I love trip reports with lots of pictures.
I totally agree! Pictures are my favorite.

After dropping off Jacques, we headed over to 50's Prime Time Cafe.
We went in and put in our names, and sat down.
Eventually, we got sat. Not too bad of a wait. Maybe 10 minutes.
Our waitress was awesome. She told us to set our own places, and gave us knives and forks. So, we set them like this.
Nic:
knife, upside down knife, upside down fork
Summer:
fork, upside down fork, fork
Dad:
sideways napkins (all of them), knife going one way, knife going the other.
She came up and was like "Wow. Canadians." and nodded at Nic and we laughed.
She was so much fun. I mean, it was more than just the show stuff. She was SO sweet! I loved her so much!
Nic got a Cherry-flavored Coke, Dad got a Vanilla-flavored Coke, and I got a chocolate malt.
She brought me this and said "Here you go. The low-calorie version"
She brought out our food quite quickly.
Dad and I got the Pot Roast:
Nic got the Meatloaf:
I also got my real chocolate malt:
It was all soooooo good. I totally recommend it!!

The food looks yummy - and so funny about how you guys set your plates!!
I would LOVE to go there but my kids would totally freak. They wouldn't "get" that the waitress was just messing with them and would freak out by having someone else tell them how to eat and what to do. Or else maybe they would listen to her as they barely listen to me......

I loved your last 3 updates. You got some great pictures of "The Great Movie Ride". Most of mine didn't turn out near that good. It was fun looking at your pics of the Backstage Tour too. We didn't do that this trip so it was fun seeing it through you. And the food at Prime Time looks awesome. We've got to try that next trip. The Meat Loaf looks sooooo good and so does the malt. 
Looking forward to more!!

Our waitress was great about it. The kid at the table next to us was the same way, and she totally took it in stride. He retaliated, and didn't like it, and she backed of perfectly.
But I don't think all of them are the same way.I loved your last 3 updates. You got some great pictures of "The Great Movie Ride". Most of mine didn't turn out near that good.

After lunch, we were going to use our ToT and RnR fastpasses, according to Ridemax, but were like "OH GOD! No."
So, we put that off in favor of some other things.
First up, the Magic of Disney Animation.
On our way, we picked up FPs for Voyage of the Little Mermaid. Note that these are the 3rd we were holding, and had no problem using them even though they were expired. Some people freak out that the CMs will freak out, me included, but I never had a problem the whole time.
Look at all the Oscars!

Playing the guess-who-it-is game
Nic was so happy to be drawing
We were told we'd be drawing Donald. Not my favorite, but hey, it was still totally awesome!
My Donald:
Nic's Donald (and his Mickey he drew because he was mad at Donald:
Dad's Donald:
Now, I can't draw AT ALL. My smiley faces turn out like this:
I was SO PROUD of how well I drew. They really are magic!
Sorcerer Mickey:
Sorcerer Mickey, but a statue:
After MoDA, we headed over to VotLM to use our FPs. Wow, the acronyms!
Now, I'm lax on pictures of this part, partially because I don't want to remember it!
We decided to head over to Rock'n'Roller Coaster, to use our FPs.
We gave them the passes and headed up the line. We got in and watch the totally dork-fest of a video. My ex would've been in heaven. He's seriously screwed in the head with how much he loves Aerosmith. But, he also (this may be TMI) refused to lose his virginity, unless it was in a threesome. Including after he got married. If it was with Joe Perry and Steven Tyler, I think he'd probably die of happiness!
Anyways, we get through the video and exit into the loading area. Right before we got on, they decided something was wrong. They kept going "It'll be back up in a minute." Well, it wasn't. They gave us re-entry passes and let us out the exit area. This is ride number 1 to break down.
We decided to head over to ToT to use those FPs, then see if RnR was back up.
It took us longer to hike up the mountain that is the ToT line than it did to get through the line once we got to it and the ride combined. Well, we got up there, got through the line, and sat in our seats. Back row, left side.
I've only been to MGM/DHS once before and there was no way in hell I was riding ToT back then, so I was a ToT virgin. It was much different than I thought. I assumed it would be pull us up, and drop us a few times. I was totally shocked when the doors opened and we actually moved through the hall. But, it made sense.
WOW! I love that ride! At one point, my butt hadn't fully sat down and I was up again!
Well, we checked on RnR. Still down. Crap.
We had a DVC tour at 5, and it was 3.
TS:MM! We decided to single-rider line it up. We didn't care too much about sitting together, and if it got us through faster...
Well, we got up and went through and got onto the little bridge thing:
I LOVE the decorations!
Anyways, so, we're sitting there, and a CM comes up (we're at the back of the line) and goes "I need the last person in line to come with me", which is Nic, so he takes Nic and we see Nic appear on the handicap loading area. They needed someone over there. We called his cell and told him to just meet us at the exit. Well, then the guy is talking to the family and come back up. He goes "I need another person from the end of the line, because someone decided they didn't want to ride", so my dad goes. The two of them end up getting to sit together and all! Fine, whatever, I'll just chill. At this point, we were at the top of the stairs going down to the loading platform.
Well, they get through and get off, and wait at the railing outside the little exit gate, so they can still see and sign-language to me. Well, this one car was acting up, so they just sent it through without riders. Fine, whatever, I don't care. No big deal. In the grand scheme, one car doesn't really matter. I get down to the floor, and get in the line. I'm next! Well, it gets back through, and they decide to stop the ride to mess with it. I'm sitting there on the phone with Nic going "Should I just leave? How much longer do you think this'll be?". He asks the CM just standing there, not doing anything, at the exit gate what's going on. She goes "None of your business!" and he was like "I just need to know if it'll be back up soon--" and she totally ignored him and stuff. Wow, what a "B". She could say "We can't tell you that" or "I don't know" or whatever, and it'd be fine. But, sheesh, woman, no need to be that big of a jerk.
Alright, so this is ride number 2 to break down.
Finally, they figure out the problem. I was standing really close to the guy directing people, and he kept me in the loop on what was going on, and then Nic asked the guy that fixed it as he was exiting.
Turns out there's a sensor that goes off if say, a child's hand is under the car and shuts down the ride. Well, that was going off, and they couldn't figure out why. They knew that clearly it wasn't a kid or anything. Turns out someone had dropped their glasses under the car.
So, after more than an hour-and-a-half wait, I get to ride!
Now, remember how we said we had a DVC tour at 5? Well, it was 4:40, and we were supposed to be out there at 4:40. We stopped by the DVC kiosk, and they said it was fine if we were a few minutes late, and that they'd let the driver know, since we were the only ones they were picking up.
We still had the RnR passes. We went over to RnR and there was a couple there, debating whether or not to ride, since it was a longer wait. We went up and asked "Are you going to ride this?" and they were like "Well, yeah, we wanted to", so we handed them our re-entry passes and said "We can't use these, because we're running late for something else. They work just like fastpasses". They said thank you, and we practically ran to the front to the van.

Surprisingly, I didn't take any pictures of the tour. It was kinda high-pressure, but not too bad. Yummy snacks!
Well, after our tour, we had the van driver drop us off at Downtown Disney.
We walked through a few shops...
Then we stopped at Earl of Sandwich!
Nic got the club:
I got the Hawaiian:
After that, we headed back out to the stores...
We also got some Goofy's Candy Company. Rice Krispie treat covered in milk chocolate, dipped in white and dark chocolate chips, drizzled with white chocolate.
Sounds delicious, right? Well, I'm sure it was. Unfortunately, I forgot it at my dad's. Stupid me.
RIP my beautiful treat. I'm sad I never enjoyed you.
After that, we headed back to our hotel. Pretty uneventful ride home, and went right to bed for Epcot tomorrow!

I was a bunch of updates behind! 
I loved all your pics. Nic thought the meatloaf at 50s was good? My DH is probably going to order that and I haven't heard many reviews of it.
Sorry about the fiasco with the rides breaking down, what a pain! But I guess we have 3 more to go...hopefully the CMs were nicer about it though.

I know! I know! It's coming!
We've been so busy wedding planning, it's insane! But, we booked the ceremony and reception sites, and we're meeting with the florist, photographer, and officiant next week! Whew!
I'll try and update at least twice today.

How could you?! Nic said the meatloaf was some of the best food all week. He totally loved it!
I know! Insane. Well, there's three more and they're all going to be in the next day, which is Epcot!!!! Well, three plus one that we thought was broken down, but thankfully, in more than one way, it wasn't! That's all coming up in this next update! Woohoo!

Epcot Day!
Now, this is one of the best parts of the day, and I have zero pictures of it until the end, so please, bear with me!
Well, we used Ridemax, and our touring plan didn't start until 9:30, but we were over to Seas with Nemo and Friends by 9:15 (first on our touring plan), and so we decided to grab Soarin fastpasses real quick.
Well, then, after the whole fiasco of having to leave the stroller out, we decided to risk putting off the touring plan for a few minutes, and used our DVC instant fastpasses. We used up one whole card and my dad and I went in while Nic stayed out with Jacques, and then we'd switch (we did this with Mission: Space and Test Track, too, with me staying out for Mission: Space since I didn't want to ride it again, and my dad staying out for Test Track so Nic and I could get our picture).
My dad and I went into the fastpass lane and the line stopped and we were just too far from being able to see around the corner. We didn't really think much of it until we hadn't moved for a good 30 minutes! We're like "WHAT THE HECK?! Another break down!? You have GOT to be KIDDING!", except, a little more... inappropriate language. Heh.
Well, after another 10 minutes, and an angry call to Nic (not angry at him, angry at Soarin), we FINALLY moved. We were totally ready to be angry, but we saw an amazing sight...
Blue shirts... Khaki shorts... COULD IT BE?!?! IT IS!!!!!
But what are they giving out? I'm happy with anything, of course, but is it...? is it...?
IT IS!!!!!!
But, here's the problem. There's my dad and I, but Nic is outside, with Jacques. I explain it to the girl to see if they can do anything. She tells me to ask this other guy who's like, the head of their group. He listens to me, then pulls another one out of his bag and goes "Here you go!"
SWEET!
So, we rode Soarin and then went out and baby swapped.
Next up, Nemo and Friends!!!
I only got one good picture:
Well, we got into Nemo and sat down. It was a cute ride and Jacques LOVED it. But, when we got to the scene with Crush, the ride stopped. We sat there for a good 20 minutes at least, and it started back up. So, that is ride break down number 3 of 5.
Next, we headed over to Innoventions (the good side!)
"Oh, I know how to work this. You just push this, and turn this..."
"Let's try this one..."
"What are they doing?"
Awesome robot band:
After innoventions, we headed over to Club Cool.
We couldn't get my dad to try the beverly. I even took a big swig and went "OHH! That's good!" But, FINALLY, he tried it after we were like "JUST TRY IT! GOSH!" because he was being picky with which ones he would try.
Next up, Figment!
We laughed that this better not break down on us while we were in the skunk room!
Jacques enjoyed it.
The scary @ss moon. Yikes.
Next up, we headed over to Test Track.
Nic and I got in line and dad waited with Jacques. We got in the fastpass line, and waited. And waited. And waited... And waited. "NOT ANOTHER ONE!!!!"
Yep, another one. After waiting for about 45 minutes, we FINALLY started moving again. AARGH!
We met up with my dad in Mousegears, and I sat with Jacques on our bench while my dad and Nic rode Mission: Space. Remember this, because it comes into play later!
They finally got back and we hurried over to Le Cellier for our lunch reservations.
? Way to go Dreamfast passes
. Can't wait to hear more. And Please Bring on the ring I can't wait anymore.
