3rd Times a Charm! Mar. 8-14..lots of pics

[jenseib]

After Claire got some Photos with Prince Caspian, we started to walk out the door and then I quickly turned around and asked if I could get one with him (on the photopass). LOL! Skip just rolled his eyes and kept walking.
After that we walked outside to wait in line for the attraction. This was a big let down. It was a show that basically had clips from the movie. Nothing great at all. The room did look pretty cool though.

I am taking this picture pretty much at the exact same moment the CM is saying no flash photography till after the show. LOL!

After the show you are allowed to go in a room that has props from the movie. I thought this would be so cool. I had read that there was one on the disboards, and they kept telling us about it through out our wait. This thing pretty much sucked. A very tiny area was all there was and hardly anything in there. A few costumes, but the room was soooooo small.
I can now say I’ve been there and done that, but won’t do it again. I may see the Prince again, but then I would duck out of line after that and go on my merry way.

We decided to head up to Beauty and the Beast then.

On the way there we saw some of the steetmosphere actors. (I’m sure I’m spelling that wrong.)

We basically got middle seats. That’s the best way to describe it. We were in the middle of the row and mid way up. LOL!
We had a nice family behind us to talk to and they were interested in Claire and how much fun she was having. The one lady also directed me on how to find some characters.

The show itself was just OK, in my opinion. What I didn’t like was that it was the same ole story. Nothing new added. The singing and dancing was great and the show was done well, but I was hoping it was some add on to the story and not the actual story from the movie. Claire LOVED it though. She probably would’ve been happy to just watch it over and over.

GRRR! I am so mad. I really thought my photopass CD would arrive today. I twas shipped last Friday, so I thought for sure by today. But I checked the mail and NOTHING!

Shutterfly sent out a promo today for a free photobook and I thought I would make one for MIL and possibly give it to her for Easter, if I could get it that fast. But I need that CD for pictures. UGH!

I am so sorry to hear that it is always a let down when you expect something and it's not here. It needs to hurry we are waiting for the pictures lol

 

[MyMuse]

I saw the same street actors and we were at the same B&TB show? Too funny!


I was also sitting in the middle section, in the middle of the row, about 4 or 5 rows from the front. I got there about 30 minutes before the show. I think - I have to read my TR.

I wonder if you are in my video from the street actors!! I think I would have recognized you or Claire though.

I love how you take the time to let DD swim. You leisurely pace seems to make the perfect vacation.

Claire just loves to swim, even for a short period and it makes her a little easier if we let her do it each day. I never went in once. LOL! I think DH did twice. I am not a big swimmer anymore at all, but when I was little I loved to swim too. After going 2 other years, I learned that taking that time out for swimming made for a nicer child. LOL!
And I am trying not to overschedule, which is hard. LOL!

 

[jenseib]

The show finally starts and notice how she totally perks right up. LOL!

A weird thing happened as we were exiting the show. We were walking up the stairs to leave and a person at the top to our left was walking the same way we were going to turn. She looked right at me and asked how Claire liked the show. I told her she LOVED it and that was that.
DH and I decided to turn and go the other way out instead. Then as we exited , I go “how the heck did she know Claire’s name?” And DH said he thought I knew her.
I did not recognize her with the family who we talked with before the show, and she was coming from a different direction. So I wondered if it was one of my Dis friends. But no one has said anything yet to me.
My guess is that she might’ve been sitting a few rows behind and over and chose to go up the other side of the stairs and had just listened to our conversation.

Skip and I decide to separate and he is going to check out Rock N Rollercoaster, and I was going to go take Claire to characters.

Claire was a little cranky…..Disney does that to kids, they get over stimulated, and not enough sleep, and parents are dragging them everywhere…LOL!
So when he left, she started to cry a bit that she didn’t give him a kiss…..a quick beep on the Nextel fixed that.

So, once again we separated and Claire and I worked our way to the animation area.

I took this in route.

 

[lizet313]

Aww so sweet of you to beep his Nextel to have your daughter give him a kiss. I love your thread so much you have description and I feel like am there with you. Very weird with the story you mentioned process of elimination it wasn't me.

 

[MagicShell]

I love the picture of Claire and her dad. My daughter is a Daddy's girl as well, but she is 13 now, so not so "huggy".

As Claire and I passed Playhouse Disney we saw the “Jo-Jo” was out. The line wasn’t too long, but Claire adamantly refused to see her. Oh well. I know she really doesn’t know her much and doesn’t watch much with her in it.

So we walked over to the animation show. (the name is escaping me right now) I asked the CM before we enter the line if we can just go see characters and skip the show, he told us no, you had to see the show to get to them. OK… So we get in line and wait…..not too many people there….. and again I ask another CM if we could just walk through the theater, as we didn’t want to see the show, and he said no.
So we watch the show. It was OK, Claire seemed to actually enjoy it though, but did make several comments that she wanted to be riding rides. She was a little mad that Skip was off riding something and she wasn’t.

So after the show we “bolted” out of the theatre and see “Bolt” and Rhino signing autographs. We got in line just before they cut it off.

The line wasn’t too long, I think 15 minutes or so.
Claire has never seen the movie Bolt yet, but we have seen previews, so we were familiar with him. We had to ask someone in line who the “sidekick” was, and most kids didn’t know either. Finally one kid knew it. LOL!

This one cracks me up. LOL!

While in line one of the ladies told me that there was no need to go into the show to get to this room…GRRRRR on the CM’s….She said you could enter through the gallery and by pass all of that. That kind of made me a bit mad that I wasn’t told this by TWO CM’s.

OH well, nothing I could do now.

We also saw that Freezezone from the Incredibles was out, but the CM handler for Bolt told us he was going in and his line was closed, but the Mr and Mrs Incredible would be out soon..

So after Bolt we got in line for Sorcerer Mickey, who was not going in any time soon.

 

[scottny]

great update and pics.

Great pics with Bolt and friends.

 

[GeminiAngel]

Wonder why those CM's didn't tell you about another way in?
Pretty undisney-like.

Great photo's, Great update.

 

[jenseib]

Sorcerer Mickey’s line was kind of long, but moved fairly quickly. Skip called and said he was done with RNRC and was heading our way. He ended up going to a totally different spot. LOL!

Our turn with Mickey.

After Mickey we still had some time before The Incredibles came out, so Claire played with some games they had in there.

This was the top of the game she was playing and I thought it looked so cool.

[Stephanie VanMeter]

Looks like you got your photopass CD! There are 4 of us going in June and we are going to share one. Your photos are great! I can't wait to see more! Keep that report coming!!!

 

[jenseib]

YES! I am so excited. I worked really fast yesterday and got all my "shares" CD's done yesterday, and going to take them to the post office today. I am going away this afternoon, so not sure if I'll get another update done or not today. Maybe I'll just post some photopass pics if I get a chance to load some up to photobucket.
