I've had long waits in GMR before, as well as some walk ons so I guess neither would surprise me! lol
Love the pics of DHS!

Pizza Planet near the Muppets is pretty good for counter service--though I think they are re-theme-ing it soon, so I'm not sure how it will change.
Joyce and I loved the "Let the Memories Begin!" signs. We were always like, "Phew, glad they reminded us!" or "Crap, how did we get here? I only now began my memories for today as instructed..."
I worried my mom the same way during our trip every time we ended up waiting for things that I usually dont wait for or if something went wrong in my mind, 9 times out of 10 she noticed none of it so I worried for no reason but thats what I do best!!
I agree the quick service option at DHS stink!

I, too, am surprised about the wait for GMR! Of couse, that's probably because we've only ridded it maybe twice!
I know I've said this before, but you and I are so much alike. Worrying about everyone having a good time and stressing over it is something I would do, and have done before!
Sorry that the burgers weren't that great. I do agree with you about the food at HS. The Commissary and Pizza Planet are the only two CS places we've tried there, and that's because I'm kind of afriad to try anything else.
I love the pics with the HS sign. I always mean to look for it, but never remember!
I'm glad y'all headed back to the room for some rest!
This past trip, we had to watch the movie reel almost three times. But like you said, it's cool, air-conditioned, so I can't really complain.
I do think that when I'm the planner of the trip, I feel a responsibility for everyone having a good time. I tend to worry about whether or not people are having fun, and just like your mom, they usually are. It's just the people-pleaser part of my personality, I guess.
I'm sorry you had a difficult time, and I completely understand how stressful it is to feel like everyone is counting on you to deliver a magical experience and perfect vacation. I'm happy you came to terms with it, and focused on making yourself happy.
I have always been unlucky with the GMR, I always seem stuck in that waiting area forever!
I also agree that DHS is a CS wasteland. Our go-to is chicken nuggets at Backlot express. Nothing fancy, but consistently OK.
What a great idea to just walk around taking photos of random things If I EVER had enough time to just do that I'm sure I'd see so many things I would NEVER notice otherwise.
sorry the great movie ride was so backed up on you If I had seen that line up there I would have turned around and walked out. We do NOT do well in lines How long did it end up being?? Or did I miss where you said that?
I will be there the same weekend as you how cool, maybe we will run into each other on the 1st (we will be at EPCOT too that day I think!!)
Sounds like you have LOTS going on in life...made me tired just reading congrats to Alex on the promotion how awesome!!!
Congrats on the promotion!
Oh the military, they really can mess up the best laid plans, can't they! I'm happy that you are still able to get down there and experience Epcot's 30th! Have you guys thought about what time you are going to get there that morning? I bet its going to be crowded, and I know I want some of the limited edition merchandise, so I was thinking of arriving at the gates around 6 am. Do you think that is early enough? Should I shoot for 5? What are you going to do?
Congrats on Alex's promotion! I'm glad to know his hard work paid off, and I know you're proud of him too!!
Sorry that you had to move your dates, but glad that it all worked out!
It sounds like you're gonna be busy, but if you still have time to meet up, let me know!
Belated Happy Birthday, and early Happy Anniversary!!
Congratulations to Alex for earning a new strip!
Happy Anniversary.
And yeah for moving the trip up by 2 days and saving enough money for an extra dole whip to boot.
Now, I'm wondering what the other news is. I do have a guess.
Yeah for Epcor's Anniversary & Food & Wine!
HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY!!!! Hooray! The 21st is a great date for a birthday.
Happy (early) Anniversary, and congrats to Alex! And happy birthday to Alex! Good grief... you weren't kidding about this being a busy time!
YES. I did see that awful news about Splash. UGH. I'd IMAGINE it was because that was the time it would break down the most... I'm hoping that it's just temporary and that they're doing it to work out the kinks! HOPING! I will admit that I avoided it during EMH for this reason...
Agh, I hope the storm avoids yall. Actually I hope it just decides to eat itself and just avoid hitting anywhere!
Oh my goodness! I hope you're actually able to keep these dates. Sounds great!
Okay, I'm back from a small absence, but I'm here getting caught up.
I have to get the phone booth numbers and prank some people too! That's hysterical.
I love those flamingos! Oh Alice and Wonderland.
First monorail ride ever! Awesome! Love love love the monorail.
The Poly is my favorite resort of all time. It's just perfect to me.
My mom and I constantly split our food. Actually, any restaurant we tend to go to, that's our game plan. I get this, you get that, we share.
Philharmagic is always a must do. "Where's my hat!?"
I always use the hang back logic when you're bullpenned into those holding areas. I'm in no hurry, and seeing as though every one else is, I just prefer to go in last. I just don't understand it. Because those 10 extra seconds you gain by pushing past people really makes a difference.
We used to always go to shows like the Hall of Presidents. Fortunately, my oldest brother is a dork like me too, so it didn't take too much convincing from my parents.
Wait, you had never been on the Jungle Cruise before?! Sacrilege!
What a great skipper. It really is about the skipper that makes or breaks that ride for anyone.
Oh, how sweet with the pin trade! It's so great to make a kid's day.
POP's food court is my absolute favorite on property. So many selections!
Poor grumpy couple and their mugs! But then, it was kind of funny too.
I have the same problem when I work out! People always think there's something wrong with you.
Wow, that really was a DISboards convention!
congrats and happy happy! we will also be there the same time as you!
Hope you don't have to change your dates again for your weekend trip! I wish I could just fly down that weekend just for Epcot's 30th! I cannot wait for the Food and Wine festival, I wish it was November already!!!
Congrats to Alex!!
And happy birthday to both of you!!
Such a busy time for you!!!
Grrr I'm still mad about Splash! It's so much more fun when it's at crazy times of the night
Haha make sure you spend that money you saved wisely
Congrats on Alex's promotion!
for saving $5! A dole whip....that's good!
Now, about your other news.....I'm really curious!
Wow, the crowds do look crazy! I don't know how you handle running during that.
I would say that your run time was longer because of all of the dang people that you had to deal with!
That's a really good ranking at the finish line.
Howe awesome that your mom made a friend on the race!
Your eyes don't look that crazy in that picture! You just look really excited to me.
I have never been on EE at night, even when AK had evening magic hours. I'm depressed that I missed out.
Hilarious! Your mom and her seatbelt. I've seen people react that way before. Hysterical.
I hate being wrong too. That happened to me in January with my best friend, when I'm telling her "oh yeah, very shortly after New Year's the crowds just die!". Yeah right....
I do love the queue for TSM. It's so cute.
Sitting alone does give you the opportunity to have a better score. There's no one to steal your points.
Yay on beating Alex! My process? Just shoot like a mad woman.
Most of the QS locations at DHS are disappointing. I don't quite understand it, because there are great ones in all of the other parks.
You're going to have a great time on our F&W weekend. Just enjoy it.
Absolutely. Our plans are still pretty thin, so there's no telling what we'll end up doing. I haven't told my friend about the new dates, yet, so she might not even be able to meet up.
I know you're running the ToT 10-miler (which I just realized starts at 10pm!) but what are you doing earlier that evening and/or day?
