Oh....I know this one! It's Rey!!
Great update. I'm so worried about getting the time we want for JTA but we are going for the last show so we can see the light sabers light up, so I hope we will be ok. Though I plan to take AJ over on the bus to arrive at like 8:15 while the rest of the crew drives.
I hope AJ does okay on ToT. I need to show him some videos. I tried to get yours to play but my internet is being funky. It always seems to do this at night after the kids go to bed, when its prime video viewing time (I'm totally addicted to several WDW vlogs now). I'll watch tomorrow at work. Internet is better there.
Not going to comment too much because I'm falling asleep as I try to read and respond. I just can't hack late night anymore. I'm feeling so old lately....
Ding ding ding! Yep, you are correct! Oh you'll be fine I think if you want a later show. They asked me around what time I wanted and I just said the earliest you have and it wasn't until 4pm for us.
Seth watched tons of Disney ride videos on youtube. He figured out how to speak into the microphone on the search feature so he would just search for them himself. I'm glad he was prepared for it but he was a little freaked out about the Yeti on Expedition Everest, so that kind of bit us later!
Ok, watched the videos. Good stuff! And the photos too. ToT is probably my favorite thrill ride, if not favorite of all time, at Disney. Its just awesome. Hopefully AJ will be ok on it. We have a FP for it for both Monday and Friday so the MK stuff will be first and should be a good indicator of what he can handle....I hope.
Personally, I can't do most simulator type rides (like Star Tours and the now closed Body Wars) but I think AJ is going to try it with my dad. I hope he enjoys it, as well.
Looking forward to more!
ToT is definitely my favorite! I just laugh so hard on that ride! A.J. will love Star Tours, I'm sure! Seth did.
Yay well done Seth on riding TOT, I still can't get Ellie on it and she's 18 next month
Tell her just to bite the bullet and do it! I bet she'd love it.
Sounds like you had a great afternoon in Disney Springs/Downtown Disney. I don't think I'll ever get used to calling it Disney Springs either!!
Love the savanna pictures! We'll be there in 10 days! So did you miss having trash service? That's the only thing I'm a little worried about. Did you just bag it and leave in in your room? The hall?
Sorry the buses were running slow that morning! Glad you got a JTA that at least semi-worked out! Can't wait to read about that!
Yay Seth! So brave! Surprisingly, my just turned 4-year old love TOT. My 6-year old refuses to ride!
And I'm still reading - keep up the TR! I want to hear more about AKL!! And I switched my pictures over to Flickr versus Photobucket. I like the uploader better and the storage limit is 1TB...pretty much unreachable!
I'm so jealous you'll be there soon....have a great trip! We didn't miss trash service. I just threw a few Kroger bags in my suitcase and would use those if we needed to. We didn't eat in the room much so we didn't have stinky trash. So we just left it in the room next to the trash cans and they got it when they cleaned the room the one time during the week. Aren't kids so funny about what they like and don't like? Seth was fine at WDW with riding whatever but now he's telling me he doesn't want to ride anything but the People Mover.
Seth was far braver than I was on my first ride. I'm holding on to my dh for dear life. I will go again, but it's not something I'm really looking forward to!
Oh I love it! It's so much fun. It's just beyond ridiculous. Seth will ride it again, I'm sure, but he's not in a big hurry!
Seth is so cute and all your pictures have been great. We're doing Park Fare for breakfast in a few weeks and my 10yo DD can't wait for the Mad Hatter.
Just thought you should know, the savanna pictures from your room have caused me to convince my husband we can squeeze a night in at AKL when we are in Florida in September for a wedding (he's always wanted to stay there, so it didn't take much arm twisting). I have become a person who is planning two Disney trips out... I'm pretty sure it is a significant red flag for a Disney addiction!
The characters at 1900 were so GREAT! Probably the best character interaction we've ever had.
Oh, and how cool is it that I helped convince your hubby to add a night at AKL???? I'm so proud of myself!
And having a Disney addiction is okay as long as you're aware of it.
ToT is by far my favorite ride in all of WDW
Older DS14 rides it multiple times with me each trip no problem, and DH enjoys it once or twice per trip. Last Nov. we were finally able to convince DS10 to try it for the first time. He was fine on line, pretty good in the library, started getting a tad upset once we hit the boiler room. He was absolutely terrified on the line and both DH and I were like this
and this
. He rides BTMRR and Splash so he isn't afraid of ALL thrill rides, but suffice it to say he won't be riding ToT on our next trip!
The PP picture was priceless and I am so mad I didn't buy it before it expired, his face was one of pure horror. And nope, DH and I don't feel like bad parents for thinking it's the most hysterical thing in the world
Poor guy! I think waiting in line for the unknown is the worst part! I was terrified in line the first time I rode it but ended up loving it, of course. I don't blame you for laughing....I would have too!
Hi Dawn, I'm reading along too. I ran into your at DTD a few years ago, I was with a pretty large group of family members, and wasn't sure how to explain how I knew you to the group. lol, love the DIS, and TR. Seth has grown up! Being sick at Disney is the worst, hope no one else got sick. I loved AKL, we stayed Kidani a few times. It is so beautiful, and peaceful. My DH thinks they have the best pool too!
Oh hi!!!! Forgive me, I don't remember your name! Were you the person I met at Goofy's Candy Company and then maybe we came outside so you could meet Ray and Seth too? Seth would have been like 13 months old that trip. So glad you found me both that day and on this TR!
YEAHHHHH SETH!!!!! That's awesome he did Tower of Terror! Mallory made me play the videos more than once
Excited to hear about your lunch at Sci-Fi!
Glad Mallory was entertained!
I just found your TR! Seth is getting so big and what a cutie.
You probably don't remember me but we have the exact same wedding anniversary so Happy 14th Anniversary! (Just a little late lol)
Hey there! So glad you found me! And happy 14th anniversary to you too! Hope it was a great one!
Our ADR at Sci-Fi was at 11:30 and we got off the ride at 11:27. 
Yikes!!! I took off towards Sci-Fi while Ray fetched the stroller and walked at a normal speed with Seth (remember....he was still fighting a fever so I didn't want him rushing to do anything). I got there within a minute or two of our reservation and checked in. We were sat within a minute of Ray and Seth arriving. Seth loved it, as I knew he would! The food here isn't anything spectacular - good but not wonderful - but the atmosphere is so unique and we just love it!
)
Again, cutting it close seemed to be a theme for today. This time I was stressing more so than with the lunch reservation just because I hadn’t done the Jedi Academy myself and I didn’t know how strict they’d be. 
Next time!!! My favorite drink (so far) at WDW is the Lapu Lapu at the Poly.
