Hey! I got back late last night, and was too tired to post much, as it was a LONG day! We got up around 5:30AM so we could make park opening and left the parks early and got home after 11PM. I don't I'll EVER go back to the parks this time of year...my mom didn't want to either, but the only reason we did was to meet Robin (though, unfortunately, we were unable to...she was too exhausted after an endless drive down from Atlanta).
We tried Finnegan's. We probably won't ever eat there again, unless I want Buffalo Chicken. The chicken was good, but everything else was just "alright." Oh! Except for their lovely soda bread
It was so horrible...tasted like just a glob of uncooked dough...and it didn't come with real butter...came with some Apple Cinn. stuff, which my mom liked, but she just ate it without the bread. Where we were sitting though, we had a great view of the Blues Brothers stage, so I got to watch that as we ate.
My dad finally maxed out everyone! My mom and I didn't because we were busy trying to find certain special sensors that supposedly give you over 150,000 points. No luck with that...lol. No, we think we see them, but just haven't hit them yet. So, we went on to MIB for an hour. It was DEAD. It was always walk-on for us. Though later that day it got up to a 90 minute wait!
My parents went onto Twister, which had a 15 minute wait (I was going to, but I just got a soda and didn't want to throw it away). They then used their Shrek Express Passes while I saved my spot at the GB Show.
Saw all 4 GB Shows. Boy was it crowded!!!At one show, the Twister employee who moves the crowds so the GBs can drive their car to the front, was no where to be found. There were sooo many people just sitting there, not paying attention to the Ghostbusters' requests for them to move. It was crazy.
I saw 3 Beetlejuice Graveyard Revue Shows. The first I saw with my parents. Then we headed over to see the Horror Makeup Show. We watched the Macy's Parade from the Show entrance, to pass time.
Guys, let me be honest -- if you want to listen to the high school bands play their music, sit over in the intersection of Vine St. and Hollywood Blvd....uh...around Horror Makeup Show and Cafe La Bamba.
The AP viewing area is over near the Ghostbusters Show stage, but by then, the show is pretty much over. ..unless you'd rather watch the Rockette wannabes dance (no, they were decent, but didn't know what to call them). Then the AP viewing area is fine.
I decided at the last minute to skip the Horror Makeup Show, to see another Beetlejuice Graveyard Revue. My parents saw the HMS anyway. This time, I got a seat closer to my spot (oh no...I have a "spot" at the Beetlejuice Show too now???). My parents joined me for the next show, and there was a complete cast change. The last show was hysterical...the Frankenstein and Wolfman both I had never seen before...but they really got into it. Very animated. Though the other three guys I've seen play Wolfman I like a bit better.
We left after the Beetlejuice Show and noticed Street Breaks was going on, even after dark. Very cool! If my dad didn't have Jury Duty this morning, maybe we would have stayed to watch one.
Shrek had up to a 120 minute wait. J. Neutron was up to 80 minutes. Jaws was 90. BTTF was 60. Didn't notice the other ones. The crowds were absolutely dreadful...and all the while you hear "It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!" playing...lol!!
It was a great trip though!
Oh! I'm going to try to get a roll of film developed (JessicaR, I have 4 pictures left on that 36 exposure film...so I haven't gotten your picture with the GBs taken just yet..hopefully will get it developed today)..
Any questions?
