Are You Seeing an Increase in Bardledoo? Sure am! July 2011 *Updated 10/9 pg. 9*

DAY 1

After a short break back at CBR, we're soon catching a bus to Magic Kingdom. It wasn't really planned that we'd go to a park this day, since we weren't sure if we'd have our tickets... but since we did- why not use them?

It was pretty dark outside by now, so I can only assume it was after nine o'clock.

The first place we headed, was Pirates of the Caribbean

It was cute to see that Blackbeard had now taken the place of Davy Jones in the fog thing during the ride. It was a little ridiculous that the man in front of us was trying to take a picture of it... he tried at least three times and each time he said "it's not working!" I'm thinking the fog doesn't want to be photographed.

After POTC, we of course have to stop at the rest rooms right next door- since we can't pass the opportunity to go to the rest room... except me. I don't really like using public bathrooms.

Hmm.. under construction

We decided to go get some FP's for Big Thunder Mountain, since we LOVE to ride that ride at night! It's just a whole different experience, riding it at night, versus riding it during the day

Where to next? Haunted Mansion! I had told everyone that there was a new queue, but either nobody had really listened to me, or this wasn't exactly what they were expecting. Nevertheless, the queue is pretty cool.

And the new Hitch Hiking Ghost thing- SO COOL. I like it way better than before. It's so much more itneractive, and I think it's awesome that it knows how many people are in your doom buggy and where your heads are. On this ride our ghost put funny ghost masks over our faces. It really cool.

It's a Small World was next. We decided to just get it over with, since my mom loves this ride and makes us ride it at least once a trip.

By now it was time to use our FPs for BTMRR. It was so enjoyable! I love that ride (: Afterwards, my brothers both got a pretzel.

We rode TTA, which is really relaxing. And the Tom Morrow speech is in a different location now, it seems.

After TTA I was sort of tired and felt that we had accomplished a lot. But my brothers suggested Buzz Lightyear, since we were right there and it was only a ten minute wait. I hate this ride. I never get more than 600 points, while everyone else is getting 400,000 each time. But I reluctantly rode it. The wait wasn't that long, and I get in a cart with my mom.

We're SECONDS into the ride, and I look down at my score and it's already at 100,000! I was a little shocked, I mean, I must have hit something worth a lot. I had no idea what I hit, so I kept my finger pressed down on the shooter and didn't remove it. Next thing I know, BAM my score is up

and then again

and again

by now the ride has stopped moving, but that didn't mean you had to stop shooting. I honestly had NO idea where I was shooting this thing or what I was shooting at, but whatever I was doing- it was working
DSC01617.jpg


my score just kept climbing
DSC01618.jpg


My mom looked pretty surprised, and we checked out everyone else scores (since they were sitting in front of us we could see) and I had the highest one.

We started moving, but I kept shooting.

DSC01620.jpg


I just kept going, I was so clueless as to what I was shooting at, I can't even remember! We had changed rooms so I had to find my next target... and whatever it was- it worked.

DSC01621.jpg


The girl who never gets about 400 points on this ride actually gets the highest amount you possibly can.

I was pretty excited- not gonna lie! We still had to go through the room where you shoot the ship on the screen and I had already gotten to 999,999! After that room though, my dad got to 999,999 too. But I got to it first, so I won :P

It was pretty awesome to finally be the winner of that gave, instead of always coming in last.

After Buzz Lightyear, we caught the bus back to CBR and called it a night.
 
Great Update, I love the new Hitch-hiking Ghost effect at the HM! We didn't get to see the new effects in the line because when we went the line was pretty long and it was much shorter to go through the old one. I love Buzz! I never get a good score, but I still love that ride because it's fun!

Thanks! I love the new effects they brought in, really cool

Joining in. I love it!

Welcome!
 
Day 2

Bright and early my dad went for a run, then he and my mom went to get coffee. When the kids woke up, we all got ready- ate breakfast, got dressed...- and we walked to the nearby bus stop to go to EPCOT.

We got to EPCOT in a short amount of time

And we went to Club Cool to wait while my dad and Joe went to get Test Track FP's.

Dad and Joe met back up with us with the FP's and they had to try some soda

J told me to drink the nasty Beverly, and I did, even though I knew it tasted bad. I mean, it's gross but I didn't think it was all that bad- weird!

We went to Innoventions next where we wanted to do Sum of All Thrills!

I rode with Mom and Joe and J rode together. We both did rollercoasters and they were pretty cool- but I refused to go upside down on it my first time. Next time, though, I'll make it much more intense haha.

After Innoventions, everyone was hungry for some lunch. So we went to Mexico because we used to love their CS before it all got re-done and this was our first time back since it had reopened.

It was alright. I didn't like the meat on the nachos and the chips were stale... I'd give it... 5/10. The view was pretty, of course

Where to next?
 
I've gotten 999,999 twice before, but once the ride stopped and the lasers still worked.

I'm not the only one who doesn't mind Beverly! I can get people to try it b drinking like 5, and then they try it and make an epic face.
 
I love your Little Mermaid shirt, it's so cute.

That's too bad the Mexican counter service wasn't that great, hopefully they get that corrected
 
Great updates. I didn't know they were redoing the hitchhiking ghosts scene, but I guess that explains why that wall was all boarded up when we were there!
 
Oh wow, I got behind, must catch up! :thumbsup2

That's great you got a chance to use your APs and good choice to go to Magic Kingdom ::yes::

I totally forgot about Blackbeard taking the place of Davy Jones on the Fog Screen LOL That's so funny the guy kept on trying to get a picture of the fog :laughing: Apparently fog isn't very photogenic

Oh, the new HM queue looks so cool! I really want to see it now, after having to walk past all the boards and walls and such when I was last there. The new Hitchhiking ghosts effect sounds really cool too :teeth:

Oh, I love BTMRR at night, too, much better than in the day, though the waterfall at the beginning feels a lot better during those hot Florida days :goodvibes And I can never seem to hear the Tom Morrow part on the TTA... I guess I'll have to listen harder next time (:

Wow, I can't believe you actually got 999,999. My friend got that when I last rode it, but it wasn't even halfway through the ride, so I thought her shooter was glitchy, but based on this apparently not.... hmmm... :confused3 But good to see that you got a really good score! :D

Now onto the next day... CBR looks pretty as always, but now I can see what you mean about the smoking :S

EPCOT! WOOT! (: I really got to go to Club Cool and try Beverly. The more it is put down by DISers, the more I want to try it. You said it wasn't all bad, so that's a good sign I won't be feeling sick after having it :teeth: The Sum of All Thrills attraction at innoventions sounds really cool as well, must check that out, too.

Sorry you didn't enjoy the Mexico CS, that's one of my EPCOT favorites. I was there after the change and I didn't see a difference in the food, in my opinion, may have been the people working that day :/ And I can't believe you actually got to sit in the sitting area there, it was packed both times I've been there! Wow!

Can't wait to read more! :mickeyjum
 
Congrats on getting such a high score on Buzz! I used to hate that ride too because I could never get a good score as well:rotfl:

I LOVE your little mermaid t shirt you wore to epcot! I've seen it before and have always wanted to get it.

Club Cool is on my must do list for my next trip. I've yet to try the Beverly still, I always hear mixed reviews about it! lol
 
Bardledoo <-hysterical
That alone made me look at your thread. Great TR!
 
Gooooood Update ;)
When we me and my sister rode the Sum of All thrills we wen't upside down 3 times :o
I didn't like Mexico's CS that much, either.
 
I am officially joining in. I have been following along but since most of my Dis time seems to be while working using my phone I haven't been able to post.

I love your trip reports and seeing all of the places you guys stay. CBR looks okay but for some reason it has never been on my list of places to stay.

I agree about no tomatoes on my food. DH doesn't understand when a restaurant makes a mistake and puts lettuce or tomato on a burger and I can't just pick it off. The flavor is still there. Ew.:snooty:

Yeah, our ride stopped for a few minutes, and I realized after a bit that the laser still worked haha

Bahaha nobody listens to me anymore to try it, they all know since it says like "bitter" on the description

I love your Little Mermaid shirt, it's so cute.

Thanks!

Yeah, normally their food is so good

Thanks, Sarah
I didn't know that either, it was a nice surprise! It was later at night when we went, so there wasn't much of a line

Oh wow, I got behind, must catch up! :thumbsup2

Wow this is a really long comment lol

Tom Morrow's pretty easy to hear, I'm not sure how you missed it. Unless it wasn't even in the script when you went, I don't know though.

It wasn't the people working there when we ate at Mexico, it was the food for sure, stale chips and I'm usually not a big fan of Mexican :confused3

Thanks haha, I hated that ride too, my score always stunk.

Thank you! I have an Aladdin shirt just like it, I got it from Delia's there's a Beauty and the Beast shirt too

I'm glad the title caught your eye! Thanks (:

Yay welcome!

CBR is really large, and I guess that's probably why it's never been towards the top of our list, but we really lucked out and got a good location for our room

I know what you mean! The tomatoe was on the food, it's juice has contaminated the rest- ruins the experience. I can really be a picky eater sometimes
