A Baptism, MNSSHP, & FD...sweating our way through 6 days at POP!! Completed!

[that's nice]

Oooh breakfast looked yummy!

Gosh, I hate getting in line behind someone who has a huge stack of tickets for the fast pass machine! Some tour groups have an INSANE amount!

Haha, looks like ToT was fun!

Gotta love the VOTLM!

Breakfast was good. We were trying just to get something quick. We wanted to get those coveted TSM FPs!!!

I wasn't really paying attention in the FP line. I was wondering what was taking them so long. When I realized it I had to change lines!

I don't love ToT. But this ride was the best I had yet. There were quite a few big drops that were really good!!

This was our first time seeing Little Mermaid. We always have skipped it because we thought it could scare Juliana. After seeing it, I wish we brought her on previous trips.

Your DHS day looks fun so fun. Isn't TOT a blast?? Love that one!

My kids are too old to see Disney Playhouse, so we probably won't be seeing it anytime soon.

So, where'd ya eat??

We had to choose between LM and Beauty and the Beast... we went with B&B.

I actually had fun on ToT this time. Some of my other rides weren't great.

You should check out Playhouse Disney. The TC3 can pull this off.. can't they?

We wanted to see B&B but it just didn't happen. Plus we saw it in March, so we skipped it. We will see it on the next trip, which happens to be in March.

Clemson University in Clemson, SC---God's country

Wrong color of Orange to be God's country.

Thems are fighting words! LOL

Your breakfast really looked good!

I only got to go to the Playhouse Disney show one time before my kids were too old for it...I miss it!

It was good. It is amazing the amount of food that they make in that food court on a daily basis.

You should go see it next time!

Great start to your DHS day. I LOVE TOT--it's my favorite. We've never done the Playhouse Disney Show as our kids were well grown before they had it; and we've not done Little Mermaid in probably eight years. Maybe it's time to give it another go.

ToT is Melody's favorite ride too.

The Little Mermaid show was really good. Juliana loved it.

I swear I subbed to this thread! Alas, I've missed a couple of posts! K, now I am officially subbed - so as not to miss anything else!

catching up -

so no haircut, really? oh well, maybe next time! I was discussing this with my DDs the other day and come to find out, all 3 of them would like haircuts and pixie dust during our upcoming trip. In fact, DD8 Kennedy asked "do you think we can just 'pretend' it's my first time getting a haircut so I can get ears?" So cute! I told her I would buy her ears and then explained that 'pretending' still counts as lying! Stinker!

We were disappointed that Juliana couldn't get her haircut. That would be cool if you could get all 3 girls haircuts!

Love the costumes for MNSSHP! You make a great Jack Sparrow. A POTC picture would have been great. I picture a Captain Morgan pose by the pirate ship sail sign. Alas, I guess my mental picture will suffice. Maybe you could do a little photoshopping?

LOLOL That would of been funny.

We weren't expecting 90+ degree heat for the party. We did as well as we could.. there were only a few things we missed. We needed more time!

Not much candy? Really? bummer

We got enough. I think we brought some home too.

Love your ToT photo!

Thanks!

Is the promo for Princess and the Frog still running? I'd love to get some of those tickets!

I'm not sure how long the promo was running for. I'll have to see if I can find out for you.

 

[tinkgurl]

I'm so glad that VOTLM didn't scare Juliana. I remember your reservations about it before.

 

[PopArtGal]

Nice update!

I have never seen the Playhouse Disney show. I'll have to take your word for it.

 

[xoktenox]

ToT, one of my faves! You're pretty brave keeping your hands up like that LOL I'm a thrill ride junkie and will go on anything but I definitely hold onto the lap bar on ToT

Voyage of the Little Mermaid and the Playhouse Disney show look really cute!

She loved it... plus it was nice getting out of the HEAT!

Nice update!

Awww you should see it at least once. You can watch the kids in there having a great time!

I had my camera around my neck and it kept flying up to my face on the drops! LOL This time was the best ride on there yet. I hate holding on.. I have a good pic of RnRC coming up!

The shows were good.. just aimed at kids. You can bring tinkgurl when you go together! LOLOL

LOL!! Good one!

 

[PopArtGal]

True. But won't I look weird? A lady going in there by herself?

Thanks!! Almost over..for me!!

What 'Stan did you visit.....Kazakhstan?? I've "visited" Afghanistan...

Ok, Tim, back on subject....

 

[jenseib]

Your pic of TOT is hilarius! Next time we go, I am going to do the hillybilly pictures of our rides too. I never even thought of it before, but see it alot now on lots of TR's.
I am so cracking up over Mel's pancake pic....which you may have not noticed.
You got a major cleavage shot of her. Thiose are the only kind of pics my DH can take. I swear. We went on a cruise a few years back and did a snorkleling excursion. We bought an underwater disposable camera for it and all my pics are of fish..not good, but fun to take, all of DH's are of my ****s or other parts underwater..none of which turned out good. LOL!

 

[disney<333]

Looks like you guys had a nice day at DHS.
I really want to see Playhouse on my trip and the I think the girls do too (even if they don't admit it) but it's going to feel so weird going in there when my kids are about twice the size as the all the other kids. Were there any big kids there when you went?
I always love VOTLM but when I saw it in May it started pouring in the middle of the show for the underwater part. Everybody in the theater got soaked. Did it rain in the show when you saw it?

 

[that's nice]

LOL!! Good one!

Thanks! I try.

True. But won't I look weird? A lady going in there by herself?

Umm I don't think it would be weird... maybe you can befriend a family in line.

Your pic of TOT is hilarius! Next time we go, I am going to do the hillybilly pictures of our rides too. I never even thought of it before, but see it alot now on lots of TR's.

I don't think I'd want to pay $20 to see me doing that. So I just took it with my camera. I don't understand why they just don't add these to the photopass? I got a few more for ya that I took with my cell phone! LOL

I went back to look... I didn't notice before. I did have a cleavage shot. It was at a perfect angle too! I guess I have to go edit that pic in photobucket.

EDIT::: FIXED

I didn't really notice about big kids... well actually there were 2 big kids.. Mel & I!

Yes it rained and it felt so good!!! We liked the show and thought it was really good!

We left the Animation Courtyard and were looking for something to eat. We stopped in Starring Rolls to see what they had. There were a few good looking sandwiches that I could of ate. The only problem was finding something for Juliana. We walked out and headed back towards ToT. After seeing those sandwiches, I was in the mood for a sandwich. We stopped at Catalina Eddie's and I got an Italian deli sandwich. Melody went to Toluca Legs Turkey Co. and got a BBQ pork salad and a hot dog for Juliana.

We each got the chocolate cake for dessert. We split 2 and had 1 left. We gave the last one to a family sitting next to us. We just didn't want it. When we were done we still had an hour to burn before out TSM return time so we walked over to MY favorite ride- the Rock N' RollerCoaster.

Melody and Juliana hanging out.

I walked over and got into the single rider line. There were only 3 people in front of me. The CM called the single riders and before I know it I was watching the pre-show.. you know the part where Aerosmith talks to you. The doors opened and I headed towards the loading zone. Once again there were only a few people in front of me. I was quickly on the ride.. and I got to sit in the front car! I took this with my cell phone when I got off. LOL

While I was on the ride, Juliana was working on a project.

This is DHS version of KidCot. There are a few different stops around DHS where kids can do a project. She got to put stickers on a paper CD. While Juliana was finishing up, Melody got into the single rider line.

We took this picture in March of Juliana, so we did it again.

Then she took one of me with her camera.

Mels ride was over and she met back up with us. Juliana was taking a ton of pictures of the ride and she took one of Mel & I too.

It was almost time for TSM... but first Juliana needed some ice cream. How about a Mickey Bar!!! (((Warning.. If you are on a diet do NOT look at the next picture!!!)))

It was so hot the chocolate was melting off the ice cream!

On our way back down Sunset Boulevard, I ran into this lady and asked her to sing me a song- which she was happy to do!

Right before we hit Starring Rolls on the right hand side there is a candy shop where we had to get Juliana another one of her favorite treats. They had some Halloween decorations out.

It was air conditioned in here and it felt good... plus we were trying to save Juliana's Mickey bar from turning into soup.

We bought our treats... (I will show you later) and headed over to Pixar Studios to ride Toy Story Mania!!!!

To Be Continued......

 

[tinkgurl]

Where did you guys end up sitting to eat?

Haha, looks like Juliana enjoyed that Mickey bar!

That's cool, I didn't know DHS had a version of KidCot!

 

[FreezinRafiki]

I love the streetmosphere performers at DHS. For our next visit, we're going to make "Otto Von Bonn Bahn Fan Club" t shirts for the kids. He's Madison's favorite.

 

[maroo]

it really helps when you click SUBSCRIBE to a trip report.

Just sayin'.

I am heading back to catch up!

 

[onelilspark]

I spy...a Philly fan in your Pixar photo.

We're everywhere.... dun dun dunnnnn.

The pic of Juliana & the melted ice cream makes me giggle. Happiness is a Mickey Ice Cream bar!!

 

[serene56]

Cant wait to hear about tsm== and wondering if you got in the fast pass line with the people who had the tour guide get their tickets...

 

[IBelieveInTheMagic]

Cool DHS pics!! I wish I would have done the single rider line thingy for Rockin Rollercoaster! I love rock music and would love to hear this while flying through the air. My DH said it was his favorite ride too! Next time....

I love the picture of Juliana holding the ice cream as it's melting! Yowsers!

Waiting for more, patiently...
