Sunday Part 1
I had set the alarm for really early&around 7am, because with a room full of girls, it definitely took time to get us all ready. Today was our DHS day, and I knew that we had to get there before RD so we could get to ride TSM at least twice before leaving.
It was a misty morning - we hoped there would be no rain but the forecast said 40% chance. Argh. Well, it wasnt raining yet so we didnt have to buy any ponchos.

And heres me with my Minnie ears!
Breakfast was, of course, beignets for me. I was going to use a snack credit for them, but its actually a better deal to get the 6 - you cant use SC for the 6 but it cost less than 2 orders of 3 each. Since there was 4 of us, it made sense to just get the 6. I wanted everyone to try these fantastic pillows of dough!
CS got the bounty platter, and CT1 and 2 both got the yogurt parfaits. They were actually worth the snack credits they used for it as they were about 4.50 each. (not pictured)
While waiting for the buses we decided to do a little photoshoot with the Minnie ears.
At DHS, we went through bag check pretty easily. It was starting to get a little warmer now. The sun looked like it was going to make an appearance after all! We were there in time for RD but it was still plenty busy
The Master Plan
Now, we had a plan to get the FP for TSM. Me and CT2 will run to TSM the minute RD happens. Me because I know exactly where it is, and CT2 because she is a fast runner. CS is, well, not known to be that fast. She also has a reputation for falling down, and we didnt want any injuries! So we agreed that CT1 would walk at a slow pace with CS and we would meet at TSM and go on the standby line after we got our FPs. So I took their KTTW cards and me and CT2 geared up for the brisk run.
Funny how things work out with my master plan. As CT2 and I inch up towards the front of the line, as soon as the park opens, we are stuck behind a throng of people doing the exact same thing. OMG we could barely move for about 5 whole minutes! So were inching our way past the PP photographers, past the hat, and slowly we break into a run towards Pixar Place. I knew we werent going to be first, but we couldnt be that far behind&were we?
We dodge a bunch of kids running the wrong way, and past some lost first timers, and finally we made it to TSM! We head over to the FP line, and there is a huge line for FP!!
But lo and behold&CS and CT1 were at the front of the line for FP!!! OMG! How hilarious is that!?!?!? They beat us!!
CT1 said she had never seen CS run so fast, that she had to double over and laugh out loud. We couldnt believe she actually ran. After we finished having a good laugh, we handed them our KTTW cards so they could get FP for all of us, then we went to stand on line at standby. The wait was roughly 30 minutes at this point.
Yay I ended up with the high score. I was best in vehicle!
We went over to RnRC and did that. My sisters looooved it! I think they were all a little scared after they see the start of the ride, when you go really really fast, but in the end they thought it was awesome!
We were all chicken of ToT&especially me. I do not like free-falling! We settled on something just slightly more tame&Beauty and the Beast.
Cant miss out on our favorite snack, the frozen banana!
We wanted to wait for the characters in the middle near the hat, but we kept missing them! They would always be leaving when we got on line, and they kept telling us to come back. Finally we just went to do the GMR
I didnt get the cool shot of the Alien like I did last time, but I did get a cool shot of my sister enjoying the ride. Its always nice to see everyones first reaction, like you wish it was you who could be experiencing the ride for the first time!
Wow it was lunch time already?? Where did all the time go? Stay tuned for&.Sci Fi Dine-in Theater!
