The girls didn't want to. Morgan just wanted to go to our next ride, but we would have just sat there waiting. So, we over ruled her.
We had fun checking out the stuff that was in the line.
I loved the plastic guy to measure your height. And made Gwen stand next to it. She loved this idea!
This was our first time on and it was lot of fun. So smooth! And lots of fun!
And got one of these beauties!
Thanks! I was def pleased with what we were able to get done!What a fun Hollywood Studios morning! It looks like you guys had a great time
Yup! We made good use of the wet ones that I had in my bag after!I ended up just holding mine and making the girls take turns taking bites so that we didn't all end up covered in melted chocolate.
I am not really sure... probably just excitied to meet Edna.What is Gwen doing/ Looks like she is playing ring around Edna mode
It seems fair... Peer pressure to eat new foods and peer pressure to ride certain rides..Love your and Andys faces here!!! I'm with you on Rock n Roller Coaster. I'll ride it but it certainly isn't my favorite. We'll have to get Gwen to peer pressure Casey on this one. We got her on it once, but couldn't manage a second time
We had the Key Lime Pie on a stick later, and I liked that better, even with the white chocolate outside is a little too think.Num Num Yum Yum!!! I'm a sucker for a good, warm chocolate chip cookie so I'll have to be on the lookout for this.
Glad I am not the only one.RNRC gives me a headache sometimes too but I always seem to forget about it and ride it anyway lol.
Thanks for Following Along!!!Following along x
Yup. I told Gwen today, that one day she will have to plan me a surprise disney trip. She said OK!Such excellent little trip reporters they will be some day!
It was good to meet you as well! It was a whirl-win of a weekend for sure! So many people to meet.Hi Ariella! I'm joining in. I've read some of your reports but I don't think I've ever commented. We met briefly outside of Sci Fi on Saturday 5/4. I was with Jackie (@missjackiemcg ). And also during the epic drink/eat around WS later that day.
Thanks for following along! I am not sure how far into the trip they got but it def has been interesting to hear there side of things.Just now joining in. I love that the girls are contributing to the TR.
Andy did this a couple times, and the girls almost refused to do any more meet and greets... opps.! Thats so funny that Andy threw her under the bus over the capes
Ha! I know, mine looks the same each time. I can't change it!I agree about RnR- I always get a headache! And your face looks similar to mine every time Gwen looks so serious!!
Nothing like a little sybling rivalery!Glad she played along in the end.
Ha! I forgot to mention, that Andy made this face on purpose. Meanwhile, that is just my face on the ride.. sigh.So much going on in this picture!
I love it! Totally fits!Andy requested his picture in front of the temp wall right by Aliens' cause you know, it's his name...
Really a missed opportunity for a fun, interactive queue!There was some spinny looking things that the girls tried to turn but I don't think they worked. Just looked like you could.
They must have inflated the time due to knowing they would get a crowd of people about to join the line?We headed into the line with 3/4 full cups of iced coffee and adult lemonade, totally thinking we had time to finish them. But we got in line and I quickly realized that we were going to be getting on the ride fairly quickly. So, we were walking through the que, I had my phone in one hand trying to snap pictures of all the fun stuff and my drink in the other trying to drink my drink.
I think they now are doing something interactive with Stinky Pete and the Disney Play App?We really enjoyed the line, we have always done fast pass for this ride, so we never really saw all of the good stuff.
I didn’t even notice that when we rode it!Andy's Room Door was cracked open for us toys to squeeze through.
Nice job! My friend also told me that on the last screen (when you are hitting the bullseye a bunch of times) to both aim for the same one so it will increase in value faster!And then Gwen is on the left and Andy on the right. Morgan was even more excitied that she beat Andy!
I think the popsicle benches came from A Bugs Land in DCA. I just know they appeared after that land started to be demoed.I also really loved all of the benches and fences. I made Gwen take a picture on this bench as we were leaving. But I think my favorite bench was the one with piece of wooden train track.
Sneaky... We didn't fully explore Bugs Land when we were there, just kind of walked through it.I think the popsicle benches came from A Bugs Land in DCA. I just know they appeared after that land started to be demoed.
Oh!! That is a good one too! And one I can remember!Nice job! My friend also told me that on the last screen (when you are hitting the bullseye a bunch of times) to both aim for the same one so it will increase in value faster!
Yeah, they probably switch the time to that every day as the park opens. Which kind of bothers me. You know there will be people who will be disapointed when they get there and see the time. It can't go up that fast! Right?They must have inflated the time due to knowing they would get a crowd of people about to join the line?
I def think it the way to go. Aliens has a much slower load, so it will build a wait time faster than TSM. I do think that on most days Aliens isn't getting too too high. People are smart enough that it isn' t a ride to wait really long periods of time for. I would even say, you could probably ride TSM, hop over to Aliens, and then back to TSM for one more ride before it gets too too busy. You got Slinky Dog fast passes right?Your approach to DHS EMH sounded really successful. It's good to read that going on ASSaucers first then heading to TSMM worked, I think that's the way I'm going to approach my TSL time.
Andy
Andy requested his picture in front of the temp wall right by Aliens' cause you know, it's his name...
We got off the ride and I clicked "I'm Here" on our mobile order
We tried to get a photo with him but not hold up the line..
I just loved that the pole was a straw!
Gwen loved the area.
(not sure what my face is all about but ok)
I really just wanted a glow cube
Andy ordered the
Spicy Tuna Wrap*
Tuna Saku, Red Bell Pepper, Carrot, Mango, Napa Cabbage, Baby Spinach with a Vinaigrette and Jerk Marinade wrapped in a Wheat Tortilla
Tuna Wrap
He said it was really good. The tuna was fresh. And the wrap as a whole was nice and light. He did say that it wasn't spicy enough.
As the Storm Troopers were coming in "to rest" they did a whole little thing about a rebel hiding in the line area. It was funny. Although my children don't like it, so I am not sure how they are going to like Galaxy's Edge...
Andy spoke "Wookie" to Chewy and they got there man hug on..
(not sure what my face is all about but ok)
I love this restaurant but the rest of my family is kind of meh on it...
I ordered a second specialty drink as well.... The second, (kind of) so Morgan would get a glow cube as well. I mean I am THAT kind of mom. I will make sacrafices for my kids.
Both Star Tours rides were great but the girls weren't pick as the spy either time.
And then we FINALLY headed out. And outside of the park, there was a small kiosk with BOTH hats and sunglasses! So, I got the Mickey Ice Cream Bar Hat and black and white mickey sunglasses.
And then for REAL we left! We walked to the bus area and sat down. There was a set of teens already waiting. They were actually really sweet. Morgan had taken out her book and started journalling again. And 2 of the girls commented that they did that as kids as well.
So, we made a plan for me to go back and get the girls suits while they ate dinner, as the pool closed at 8:00 PM. This was the big bummer of the trip. The pools were only open from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM in Feb. Another hour at night would have been nice.
Yes, yes she does.I think this ride and Pirates may have the worst ride photos. I do like the lady in the middle of the boat. She seems very happy!
I know, and I see the sweet babies rapidly slipping away!!!aw, look at that sweet baby
Do they not do the lotus glow cubes at the stand over by Everest? I got mine there a couple trips back. I want to try Nomad's Lounge at some point.I relate to this! I plan to get the drink at Nomad Lounge that comes with the glow lotus JUST b/c i want the glow lotus
He didn't stink, but he is stratchy...Did Chewy stink?
That they are more of the time.Love their expressions in this one. Two peas in a po
She really did, which is why I am sure is was pre-teen drama and tiredness.Morgan looks like she recovered pretty well from her dislike of your plan.
It's def not one we would go to every trip. but We are not fans of most of those other sit down restaurants in HS.We haven't been here since 2002. I was thinking about adding it to our December trip. I'm glad you like it.
Right?!? I mean I should get mother of the year. I will say, when I gave her the extra one, her face was priceless. So, It was worth it.Oh the sacrifices Mothers make to keep the peace.
7! YUCK!!!!This was a bummer for us too in 2018. Our pools closed at 7!
That's the Wookies in love face, didn't ya know?Untitled
Andy spoke "Wookie" to Chewy and they got there man hug on... (not sure what my face is all about but ok)
Speaking of faces. Love this picture. We've seriously gotta get these girls in some sort of pose off. Though I'm fearful Andy and Jason may jump inUntitled
Gwen and Andy got there blue milk photo on the way out. We also checked out the gift shop on the way out.
Maybe we can trade families. Mine love it so you can go with them, and I can go elsewhere with your family I like it and all, just prefer 50's and I can never get Jason thereSci-Fi Drive Inn
I love this restaurant but the rest of my family is kind of meh on it...
Yum! One of my favsI am pretty sure Andy ordered an Orange Blossom Beer. (also no proof) But Orange Blossom Beer is VERY good! Highly recommend!
Go Morgan with the rare burger. We always order ours this way here, but I don't think we've ever gotten anything less than well done. Or of course maybe we just couldn't tell in the darkMorgan went with an adult Cheese Burger with NOTHING on it and fries.
I told her to def get the adult one, as the kid one would likely be too small and over cooked. She liked it, she doesn't like anything on her burger other than cheese and bun, oh and nice and red. And they delivered on this. (You would be surprised how hard this is to get sometimes)
The things we do. Of course I'm that Mom who orders things without glow cubes so I can hopefully pay less for itI ordered a second specialty drink as well.... The second, (kind of) so Morgan would get a glow cube as well. I mean I am THAT kind of mom. I will make sacrafices for my kids.
You have me so excited to stay here. We were last there in November of 2017 and it was a literal war zone. I can't wait to see what they have done to it.The new main area at this hotel is REALLY nice! It is a huge upgrade for the resort and def one of our favorite moderates now.
And good to hear the counter service options are good too. Not sure how much counter service we'll do, but I know we'll definitely try Sebastians!I have to say we were very happy with the counter service here! And I look forward to having it again in December. They gave us plastic metal looking silverware and the napkins were thicker than normal. It was all just very nice for counter service at a moderate hotel.
I love how interactive the queue is!We had fun checking out the stuff that was in the line. (Which this was the old location to meet Woody & Buzz) And it is SMALL!!
Great pictures!I just realized in this one, Gwen is mid jump. Too cute!
i know how you feel....I have to focus on really pushing my head back against the headrest or it gets banged around too much.Gwen was a little nervous to ride this time. Now that she knew what to expect. But she rode and we had fun. I like Rock'n Rollercoaster but my head bangs back and forth sometimes and it gives me a headache. One time is enough for me.
The theming is so fun!I loved the giant fence! It really made it feel like you were in Andy's backyard. I hope they add one over by Galaxy's edge once it is done.
Chewie is a wonderful meet!We got off of Slinky Dog around 11:10 and we had lunch reservations at 12:30 at Sci-Fi. So, we had a little bit of time to do something before then. Andy wanted to meet Chewbacca again, as the last time we did, Gwen was still tramatized by meeting Darth Vedar and wouldn't say hello. So, we headed over to The Launch Bay.
Poor Gwen!I think this is also when Andy told Chewie that Gwen Would Rather Kiss a Wookie. And Gwen got SUPER embarassed
It is hard when they are tired and hungry.This sent Morgan into a downward spiral. We had full on pre-teen/teen hormonal crying in line. I knew she was hot, hungry and tired. She slowly got over it.
Just having a chance to sit and rest probably helped her feel a bit better.I checked us in, and they said we would probably be seated at our reservation time. They also said that we could wait over in the Baseline Taphouse area. So, we walked over there to see if we could get a seat. It was busy but we were able to grab 2 seats, and had the crabby crab rest her feet. Andy and I debated grabbing a drink while we waited but decided to just wait till we got seated.
That's my favourite beer to have at Sci-Fi!Morgan ordered a Chocolate Milk Shake, no picture as she was sitting in the row in front of me. And Gwen had hit Hangry levels by now, and refused to pic a drink at first. I am pretty sure Andy ordered an Orange Blossom Beer. (also no proof) But Orange Blossom Beer is VERY good! Highly recommend!
Good thing you are not Canadian! Our burgers have to be cooked to 170 F....no red or pink allowed.I told her to def get the adult one, as the kid one would likely be too small and over cooked. She liked it, she doesn't like anything on her burger other than cheese and bun, oh and nice and red. And they delivered on this. (You would be surprised how hard this is to get sometimes)
You are being a good momma!I ordered a second specialty drink as well.... The second, (kind of) so Morgan would get a glow cube as well. I mean I am THAT kind of mom. I will make sacrafices for my kids.
It really looks lovely!The new main area at this hotel is REALLY nice! It is a huge upgrade for the resort and def one of our favorite moderates now.
While waiting for the food we went into the gift shop. I wanted a resort mug, which I found! We discussed where to eat, by the pool or back in the room. And of course the girls decided that they wanted to swim after all.
So, we made a plan for me to go back and get the girls suits while they ate dinner, as the pool closed at 8:00 PM. This was the big bummer of the trip. The pools were only open from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM in Feb. Another hour at night would have been nice.
Once we got our food, Andy went to find a table with the girls and I walked back to the room. By the time I came back, the girls had devoured there food.
Good for Andy! Drinks by the pool make everything right!The girls went to the bathroom to change into there bathing suits, and Andy went to the pool bar, Banana Cabana for drinks for us.
Your meals look really good too.I have to say we were very happy with the counter service here! And I look forward to having it again in December. They gave us plastic metal looking silverware and the napkins were thicker than normal. It was all just very nice for counter service at a moderate hotel.
I know! And I feel like I don't enjoy it as much as I should because I am SO focused on that.i know how you feel....I have to focus on really pushing my head back against the headrest or it gets banged around too much.
It really did!Just having a chance to sit and rest probably helped her feel a bit better.
I would probably never eat burgers! Ha!Good thing you are not Canadian! Our burgers have to be cooked to 170 F....no red or pink allowed.
I think this is also when Andy told Chewie that Gwen Would Rather Kiss a Wookie. And Gwen got SUPER embarassed
oh and nice and red. And they delivered on this. (You would be surprised how hard this is to get sometimes)
I ordered the Fried Green Tomato, Pimento Cheese Burger. (It was the specialty burger of the day)
This was really good but very messy, especially in the dark.
I ordered a second specialty drink as well.... The second, (kind of) so Morgan would get a glow cube as well. I mean I am THAT kind of mom. I will make sacrafices for my kids.
