So, I see some folks standing around on the Boardwalk. There didn't happen to be any entertainment there that evening did it? You know what we ended up with on our trip there...zilch, nada, nothing. UGH!

What a way to wrap up the evening! Nothing better than ending the day on Star Tours, Rock 'n Rollercoaster and Tower of Terror. The picture, by the way, cracks me up. Your wife looks like me on the ToT. Just hanging on and screaming for dear life.

Sounds like a pretty perfect day start to finish!

Did you know that the lighting would be just right to capture those beautiful photos. Smart move getting them before dessert!

I love how many people know when the ride photo will be taken. Looks like you had a few characters along on ToT! Of course, the guy next to your wife is a White Sox fan, so he's got to be alright!

Flying Fish is definitely on my Disney restaurant bucket list now! It looks so amazing! I love seafood, especially crab cakes. It's always a treat when you find a place that makes them well.

I love the photo recreation! I'm totally stealing that idea now!

You guys had a very full day. It's nice that you and your wife got the alone time together in the morning. I love the pics at the boardwalk. And hey....the ride photo from Aerosmith...your son actually has a smidgen of a smile! He temporarily forgot to be stoic. Sounds like y'all had a great day.

Wow -- nice full day without feeling rushed! You guys got a lot done for one day, and had a great time doing it.

Alan, what a great evening.

I love your pics of the Boardwalk; it is just so beautiful there at night and a big part of the reason we decided to stay there again for part of our trip in September.

So happy you were able to get on the three big attractions at the Studios without too much of a wait.

I LOVE the photo on Tower of Terror.

Ohhhh....I think I'll be adding Flying Fish to our next husband-wife trip. YUM! It's never been on my radar before, but it looks fabulous!

 

[Mysteria]

All caught up! Looks like you all had a great time. Looking forward to reading the rest!

That ToT picture is fantastic! (Or.. Fantasmic!) I am still working on motivating myself to finally tackle that ride on our Dec. trip.

Wow that sure was a busy day ! I would of been dragging myself into bed that night

I just read the whole trip report and am just loving it! Great resort photos, food photos and commentary. And I adore your family. My boys are 2 & 4 and love WDW, but your trip report makes me excited about our future trips when they are adolescents and then teens and all the fun we will hopefully have in those phases too. I especially love about what you said about your DS enjoying the Dining Plan and would otherwise be frugal without it. How often do you hear that about a 17 year old, I love it.

Subbing in and finished day 1. Enjoying your TR so far. Love the room and all the POR pics! Very nice!

Yay for starting your trip at AK, one of my fav parks.

Very strange about that app using all 4 of your app credits. How much was that app, anyway? Unless it was like $30 I just don't see it.

Looking forward to catching up more.

I love the now and then pictures! We have one of my brother as a 3 year old sitting in Roger Rabbit's car in toontown at Disneyland, we then recreated it when he was 17. He was a normal sized 3 year old and looked very cute in the first picture, however he's a well over 6ft now and looks very comical in the 2nd photo.

We'd like to stay at BWV (through rented DVC points) for our upcoming trip, but we can't book it yet, so there's a good chance there won't be any availability left your post has got me really crossing my fingers that we get in!
