The next day at rope drop started like the others, we woke up bright and early, took another shower, (those we couldn't get enough of after the August heat), and went to Classic Hall for our breakfast. Every morning we tried something new, this time I went with the breakfast croissant, sausage, egg, and topped with a whole lot of cheese. It was good, but I think it was just a lot for me in the morning.
I don't know where DF's breakfast was, I think this may have been the day that I went down without him, by the time he got there, I probably forgot to get a picture of his meal. Shame on me.
We headed out to our bus stop, with the Florida sun already beating down on us. Waiting on those bus lines was not a great part of the trip, but I have to admit, the lines at All-Stars were much, much longer than this, so not much complaining from me!
Get a fan, they're life-savers!
We got there at rope drop, and we had decided that we were going to take it easy this day and not go with mad rush and fight to make it to Toy Story Mania. After all, we only really wanted to get to Star Tours, Muppet Vision 3D, and our lunch reservation at Sci Fi Dine In. We sucked it up and did some rides that were hyped up and just didn't live up to it for us at the parks, so we figured we'd skip this one too. Well, we wandered around taking pictures here and there, our main mission was to make it to Muppet Vision 3D and Star Tours. These weren't open yet, a cast member saw us walking around and told us to try out TSM, the wait should only be about 30 min. I said, what the heck, after seeing the wait time at about 3 hrs. before, I knew this would be the time to ride if we were going to, so we walked over to
Pixar Place and got in line.
The queue wasn't too bad, and the wait was just about 30 min. like she said. I would have to say, that was the longest we waited in line the entire trip. That's not too bad! The ride was great, my arm was so tired after! After our decision-making earlier, we proved to be wrong, we would ride again, I don't think we would wait in a 2 hour line, but we would do it again!
Leaving Pixar Place, we spotted this little treasure, just what I needed on a hot, hot day like this one- a nice, cool mist!
And I could go for a real one of those too, did I mention I am a Coca-Cola addict! I know water is great on a hot day, but nothing beats a coke either!
We made our way back to Tatooine for our Star Tours adventure. I have to mention that I get motion sick on just about anything and everything that moves. Doesn't get to me on roller coasters really, but some boats, cars, planes, and Star Tours! DF and I are kind of star wars nerds and I hate that I can't take the ride, so I push myself on it every time we go! I know, not a good idea! Well, after hearing about the new show, this time was no different! This is DF's favorite ride, but I found myself with my eyes closed most of the time to avoid getting sick. After a brief stint on the bench outside to collect we went back to Muppet Vision 3D. This is such a fun show, it's a Disney classic for me and a must do when we're there!
By the time we got out of Muppet Vision, it was time for lunch! How time flies when you're in Disney. The days should be much longer when you're down there!! I was so disappointed that we wouldn't be going to Sci-Fi this time around after we made our reservations, so last minute I booked an 11:30 lunch. I don't really go for the food, but for the great atmosphere. It's a really quiet restaurant and a nice, cool place to go to in the middle of the day. We got there around said time and were seated within 10 minutes of arriving. We were seated in the back of a car up front near the screen where another family was already seated in front of us. I always am in awe when I see the place, I just love it!
I ordered a reuben and DF got the All-American Picnic Burger. The food was good enough for lunch, just like diner food.
And then we ended with a vanilla milkshake, yum!
DF wasn't thrilled with it and says he could go without going again, but I don't agree with him, I think it's a great place to go for lunch while in HS.
We rode The Great Movie Ride, and I was kind of hoping that DF would miss it and we didn't have to go on, but it's one of his top rides in WDW
and thus, we made it on! This ride, for some reason, creeps me out! I have not the slightest clue why, but somewhere between the gangster fight, Alien, the creepy munchkins in the Wizard of Oz, I'm ready to hitchhike it out of there! I'm still baffled as to why it creeps me out so much!
During our HS day, we walked around a lot, in and out of stores, but I wanted to make it to Starring Rolls Cafe. I have to tell you that DF was glad that I've been on the Disboards and could try out some things that we have not tried before! This place was one of those referrals that we just had to try! We were stuffed from the Sci-Fi lunch, so we were leaving anyway as the rain was starting to come down and were finished with our day in Hollywood, so we ordered 2 cupcakes to go. Do you think you can guess which ones?
I'll give you a hint, DF is allergic to carrots, so no carrot cake, and we love peanut butter and chocolate!
Chocolate peanut butter cupcake and...
the much talked about Butterfinger cupcake!
We actually ended up eating the chocolate peanut butter cupcake there, because the box she gave us was only big enough for one. Well, there was only one thing to do then, eat the other cupcake right there! It was in one word- rich! It was a lot of chocolate! Although, it was very good, we just couldn't finish it! It was a lot of a good thing and a sin not to finish it, but alas we had lots more eating to do and Rose & Crown Pub was getting close! So we walked through the rain to the very last bus stop in HS for POP and waited for our bus to take us back to our resort to clean up before dinner!
Next up, Rose & Crown Pub and a very happy Hat Lady
That would be funny! Congratulations to you too! I hope you had as much fun as we did! It was such a fun week and great time to go! 
Ugh, anyway- with my resort mug in one hand filled with hot tea, I'm ready to continue 
The cast members were so friendly here and they handed us a beeper and said it would be about 10 minutes, so we headed into the pub and got a few beers. Once we got outside our beeper went off and we were seated inside near the windows. This was a 6:00 reservation so we weren't going to be seeing Illuminations from there. Our waiter was from the Jersey Islands, I only remember because DF asked where exactly it was and said we are from New Jersey. Anyways, he was very attuned to our silliness, as we aren't big drinkers and a couple already have us in a giggle fit
