I can see where screaming would be a serious distraction! Pretty funny how little you learned though.
Yes, I'm a little embarassed that I didn't come out of that experience spouting off all sorts of impressive technical facts about ToT. And unfortunately, it doesn't get much better as the day goes on.
Someone needs to start taking MUCH more detailed notes!
So, what kind of chaperone are you - taking pictures while the kids are having an important lesson in the laws and physics of ToT!
Kidding - I would be distracted as well. I really am always curious about the timing of the two elevator shafts. What would happen if the both loaded at ran on the same program at the same time?
Love the ToT pics. I have to admit, I am a sucker for ToT pics!
You think that's bad, I have a truly appalling chaperone fail coming up in a future update.
In the very brief amount of time I was actually listening to the lesson, they really weren't getting very technical. It was more about the staging and how the appearance of the things in the Tower help make it an awesome attraction.
I was really happy with the pictures. To be honest, there are times that my DH is annoyed and a little embarassed when I take lots of pictures, so it was very "freeing" to be able to take pictures without being scrutinized.
Not sure you'll be able to replace our current tune - "Very Merry Unbirthday!" We just decided to go as Mad Hatter (R), Tweedle Dee (W), Tweedle Dum (M) and Alice (me) to
MNSSHP. M (husband) is still undecided. We say Cheshire Cat, but he's not up for it. Anyway, if you can replace our tune for a while, I'd be good with that!
And gardens at ToT! Who knew? So much to learn - highly educational.
And finally, I'll just add another "GO BEN!" We do need a Cheshire Cat . . .
Mike, LOVE the photos. ToT is my favorite ride of all time. Not as good as your series, but if I can dig out the photo of our youngest on ToT from DL last March (he just hit the height requirement), I'll PM!
Ben says "MEOW"
So the way I see it, your DH needs to be either the White Rabbit, the doormouse, the March Hare or ... wait for it... The Queen of Hearts!
If you have been over to the Y&B FAQ thread, you know that the current song obsession is "Island of Misfit Toys" or perhaps "Hello, Dolly!"
The gardens are not really part of the ToT grounds- they are over by some of the CS restaurants I have never been to (Catalina Eddie's, Fairfax Faire and Rosie's All American Caffe), but I love the view of ToT from there.
In more Ben news, he has started reading my "Never going to Disney in the Summer TR" and unfortunately has discovered that I'm writing this report.
Nate does not know that I am writing this, and would be mortified if he found out. So now Ben is using this info as blackmail... "Are we going to Disney, or am I going to tell Nate?"
