We headed back over to Hollywood Studios to give it another try. It was my Mom, Geoff & I. We didn't try to get there right at rope drop, but were there before 10. Our first stop was RnR.
We hopped in the single rider line...and it took longer than the stand-by line! By about 30 minutes. (Geoff sat next to someone on the ride who got in line a half hour after us...in the regular line.) I think we were just having bad luck at HS!
When we got off, we grabbed FPs for ToT and headed over and did the Great Movie Ride. I swear I've been on it too many times, I can quote the entire ride! We were getting hungry, so next up it was lunch time! We wound up at Backlot Express, which surprised us in how much we enjoyed it. Review here.
After lunch our FPs were good, so we headed back over to ToT. My Mom and I rode while Geoff waited for us at the exit. He's not a fan of "dropping," so ToT is totally out of the question!
I do love ToT. It might be my favorite ride at the Studios!
We moved the car over to Epcot and hit up Nemo! (yes, I sing along.)
We decided to stick around and see Turtle Talk with Crush. Love this! The kids can be hilarious.
While waiting:
Next up it was time for Journey Into Imagination with Figment! I love Figment (as evidenced by my user ID!) I miss the original version, but I'm glad Figment is back!
We had a 4pm ADR at Le Cellier, so we meandered back to the World Showcase. First, we went to France to get my new favorite...the Cosmo Slush!
We made our way back to Le Cellier and checked in...but since my Dad wasn't with us yet, they wouldn't seat us (I hate this. We would have all ordered wine & apps waiting for him, spending more than we did.) So we waited for him to get there. In case you're wondering, he had to go into work that day.
View while waiting:
Once he got there, we checked in again and were seated immediately. Review for Le Cellier here. I never understood the hype around Le Cellier, but I have to admit, our dinner was fantastic.
When we finished, Geoff & my Dad went over to see the movie in China (my Dad loves it, I don't get it...)
My Mom and I checked out the Caramel store in Germany and then headed over to Eat to the Beat! It was Sugar Ray, and I was super excited to see him. Not that I'm a huge fan, but he was really popular when I was a teen, so I knew most of the songs. I knew a lot more artists on the list this year...I think it means I'm getting older
He put on a fantastic show. If he comes back next year, it's definitely worth checking out!
Afterwards, we made our way out of the park and called it an early night. Today was much better than yesterday!

My Mom captured the moment.
Hope you enjoy the pictures anyway. Andddd...next up is my dining report for my December trip! I'll post the link when I start it! 
I'm sorry that was the case. I'll look forward to your Dining Report link!
