After our fun time at 50's Prime time we decided to head for Star Tours, this is a sentimental favorite, because it was one of our first rides when we went to
disneyland.
We were expecting to have at least a 15 minute wait but when we got there, the standby time said 5 minutes! I felt like I'd won the lottery. We were moving through the cue so fast I barley had time to snap this....
Our next stop was Tower of Terror....again we were expecting to have a long wait, but it was only 5 minutes also! It was like we were in the twilight zone. At 2 in the afternoon it's usually swamped.
Ethan and Hunter didn't really want to ride, which secretly made D.Jay happy, but we had somehow hoodwinked MIL into riding. hehehe
look mom! no hands!
I decided to videotape the ride, I'll try to get that uploaded later, and it's hillarious to listen to.
If MIL didn't need depends before....she was wishing she had some then!
When the ride stopped, I asked her if she was ok.....
MIl...." I can't feel my pulse!"
She really is a good sport about trying everything once. She said she liked the ride other than the "up and down".
we bought this picture so she could use it for her christmas cards.
Up next was our wild ride with Aerosmith. We only had about a 15 minute wait! If I hadn't known better, I would have thought fastpasses were pointless.
I don't know why, maybe one of us smelled, but we seemed to never run into crowds other than a group of Brazilians in black spandex shorts and neon yellow shirts , following a guy on an
ecv holding his little red flag aloft.
I think that flag is more for everyone else's benefit....you see it and run the other way.
Where was I? oh yeah Rock n Roller coaster....
Bailie wasn't feeling very good so she opted to stay with D.Jay and Ethan. Again MIL had no clue what she was in for.
My theory for getting someone to try a new ride is to totally down play it. Works for some......but when our car shot off, I'm pretty sure I heard some words escape MIL's lips that she had never uttered before.
She could have made a sailor blush!

Coming from her it was hysterical because she never swears!
Ethan tried out the seats...
After the ride we all had a good laugh at MIL's hair, she looked like a jet had taken off in front of her, permanently swooshing her hair back.
After the obligatory stroll around the dump shop we exited the building into what I swear was Alaska in winter!
If was so freakin' cold!! If some one had told me that a spaceship had come to earth and transported Disney World to the north pole, I think I would have believed them. It was CCCCCCCCOOOOOOOLLLLDDD!!
MIL didn't look so silly in her parka now. I guess the aliens had forwarned her.
After a few minutes , I swear I had icecicles forming on my dripping nose.
Everyone had a jacket at this point except for moi, who for some strange reason had expected relativly warm weather in FLORIDA! So here's where my statement about Al Gore being a loon, my apologies for any fans of his, if Florida hitting record low's is a sign of global warming, then I'm Queen Elizabeth! If he had been giving one of his lectures there, he would have been hysterically laughed at.
The only warming going on was my cheeks pressed up to the popcorn cart.
I was in need of a jacket! so Bailie went with me and the others went to watch a street performer and get a snack........
By this tiime we were all freezing. so we stopped for a few photopass pictures and left the park.
We were headed for World showcase by boat...because we had the big surprise for the kids that night!
up next....(when ever I type that I hear the voice of Chris Harris who hosts the bachelor) At what point will I become so cold that my fat will solidify and break off my body?
