Finally all caught up! I also love the themeing in Star Tours, it's one of the few times when I don't mind being in the outside queue, since you're in the forest! Sorry you felt a little queasy though.
I don't remember if I noticed the sushi at Starring Rolls, I'm always interested in trying sushi but reluctant to spend my money on something that I might end up not liking. Have you tried the sandwiches, they're delicious! Starring Rolls is definitely my new favorite CS in Studios.
Good for you for getting some alone time and getting to do Disney your way! I never seem to remember to get any photopass pictures (which is probably why Kevin and I have very few pictures of the two of us).
Congrats on winning on TSM! I haven't won yet, but I do feel great when i beat my best score! And I'm glad you posted the GAM pic - without faces those boys are GAM in training!
So glad I caught up and can't wait for more!
I like the forest, too, but this was the longest I have ever been in line there. It was pretty humid. I felt a little queasy when the ride was over, but I had packed some Bonine non-drowsy nausea pills and I took one of those. Between that and the lunch, I was fine.
That was my first time at Starring Rolls, so I haven't tried the sandwiches. But I would totally do that with my family. The kids could get sandwiches, my husband and I could get sushi and we could all share. Our usual lunch spot is Sci Fi, though, and I'm not sure I can steer the kids away from that.
If you have a local supermarket that sells prepackaged sushi, you could try that. It would be a less expensive way to try it out to see if you like it. California roll (fake crabmeat with avocado) is a good starter sushi, since it is not raw. It won't be as good as something you could get from a Japanese sushi place, but it would give you an opportunity to figure out if it is your "thing" or not.
Loved the alone time!!!
I always preorder the photopass so I like to get my money's worth, but sometimes my family gets annoyed when I suggest stopping for a photo. You may notice that I haven't mentioned that my group has stopped for any PP pictures. We hadn't really had an opportunity when we were all together.
You probably know that the photopass photographers will take a picture with your camera after they use theirs, if you ask. Sometimes they even offer before you ask. That way you can have a few pictures of the two of you.
I just had to post that picture of the G.A.M and the boys!!!
I need to get over to your trip report to get caught up.
I'm going to post my next installment now, and then my excuses about why it has been so long between updates and for me to stay caught up on everyone's reports.
