Oh no, she would hurt me if I sent out the secrets and didn't tell her. She can be mean , I am scared of her actually .

Oooo, I second that.

Too funny!

As many of you know, Bill is a Toy Story Mania FREAK. We both love this ride for many reasons.

1. Bill can stay in his wheelchair for it

2. Since he has Cerebral Palsy his right hand doesn’t work so I aim the gun, he shoots the gun, we have to have teamwork. We have so much fun. He loves to laugh at my competitive nature. If you are riding the same time as us you might hear “come on Bill shoot the gun faster-faster!!”.

3. The 3D aspect of it and the fact that there are new things to see this trip

I know many people consider Disney’s Hollywood Studios a half day park, boring, etc. We really love it and have many fantastic memories from here. We got to meet many wonderful Soap Stars when Disney hosted Super Soap Weekends. We love the streetmosphere people. I mean there is nothing better than Babs Fabulous yelling “BILL, BILL” while driving her car following us down the street. I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe. She did this after she had taken some pictures with Bill in Nov. 2008. It started with her stepping down from her car and almost losing her hat, then her screaming “my hat, my hat” at the top of her lungs:

Then she thought the hat would look better on Bill:

She decided he looked so much like her with the hat on that she could go on vacation and he could take her place, we were laughing so hard right now just loving the time we were spending with her:

Time for smiles:

Here she is telling someone that Bill is her double and would be filling in for her from time to time:

She said it was ok for Bill to touch her award “just for the picture”:

If you have never interacted with the streetmosphere people you really should take the time to do it, they are fantastic! Another act to check out is Mulch, Sweat, and Shears. They are funny and a great band. (I hope the streetmosphere people and Mulch, Sweat, and Shears are still there when we get there)

Another reason we love DHS? Beauty and the Beast is simply wonderful. I can’t tell you how many times we have seen it, we just love it:

I guess the whole “don’t judge people on appearances” really touches me because just because I am very overweight, that is not what defines me. People need to look past the exterior of a person and not judge them.

I am really looking forward to going back to One Man’s Dream. I personally think everyone should experience this attraction at least once. It is so easy to see signs saying “Walt Disney World” and not even think about the man behind the name. He was a true visionary, thank goodness for him or I wouldn’t have my happy place and never would have “met” online and real life people that are just fantastic and wonderful.

DHS is great for Bill and mobility. The rides Toy Story Mania, the Great Movie Ride, and The Backlot Tour all have the capability for Bill to stay in his wheelchair and for that we are very grateful. He feels most comfortable in his chair. The shows all have good accessible seating areas where people are not in his line of vision and he can see very well. We don’t find the layout of the park confusing like a lot of people, I guess it is because we have been there so many times.

We are looking forward to the Osborne lights. I would rather go when Fantasmic is on so it wouldn’t be as crowded, but Bill wants to see EVERY night time show at every park, so I have planned for us to be at DHS on 2 days when Fantasmic plays. Yes, this is normally not a good idea since the park will be packed because of Fanastmic, but we seem to be able to handle the crowds ok. We will see. Here is the breakdown of the day:

December 2, 2010​

Park hours/Itinerary:
Disney’s Hollywood Studios 9am – 8pm
- Rope Drop??
- Get in line for Toy Story Mania, fast passes after first ride, One Man’s Dream, Animation Studios for some character lovin’, Great Movie Ride, Beauty and the Beast, Backlot Tour
- See is we can catch a Mulch, Sweat, and Shears show, look for streetmoshere people
Dining:
- Something in the room
- Backlot Express
- ESPN Club
Meets:
- TnT??
Activities:
- Osborne Lights
- Fantasmic!
- We are back for these 2 on Dec. 11th if we can’t fit them both in!


Poor TnT will be in the same park with us, I might get some paparazzi pictures of them . I only joke about this , would NEVER do that because I am deathly afraid of Terry’s camera. I no likey my picture taken , but have conceded to “some” pictures because I have been threatened that they will be taken of me anyway so I need to cooperate with pictures or they will be taken without my knowledge and posted on the DIS. OMG, please don’t. So I will try to be good and not run (or waddle in my case) from the camera.

Next installment… Back to Epcot so soon??

I loved this update, Tracy!! IT brought back a ton of memories from Streetmosphere shenanigans. They are a ton of fun, and would definitely second the need to stop and take time to interact with them.

I have to say the B&tB show took some time to grow on me. Last time I sure enjoyed it a lot more.

 

[MRYPPNS]

I personally don't think any Disney park is a half day park. I would guess that those that do never stop to see/hear/feel the details.

 

[oregonmommyof2]

I was just about to post that I like updates that are about me... Then I got to the end and saw it included me, so I am good...

No hiding from Bertha... And you are gonna learn how to use her... No more being scared... She is just one of the girls...

I asked Terry last night if he is going to pretend not to know me after you and I have had a few drinks in Epcot... He said he would be videotapping us since he is pretty sure we will be signing "Tale as Old as Time" or "You've Got a Friend in Me" while crying and tripping over small children...

Okay, so maybe he has seen me after a few drinks before...

 

[Tinker_Tam]

It sounds like the 2 DisBFFs are going to have the best time ever!!! I have been wondering how much time to plan on spending at DHS. I think I should maybe make it an all day park... oh my! How you all change my plans when I read your PTRs!

 

[Tinkermom76]

we have a full day with Evening EMH planned for DHS this year, we would have had another half day if I had kept our hoppers. And we are not there on a F! night (so far, they may add like last year) so hopefully it won't be too crowded

I know some of the streetmosphere are no longer there , but I will seek out who is there the days we are in the park. We have had such great experiences with them.

I don't feel that way either. I cringe when I read threads talking about "which park to skip". I want to say "don't skip any park, they are all wonderful in their own way", but to each his own.

I still don't want to touch Terry's camera , Bertha scares me . I do not sing, I would not assault your ear drums like that.

As usual I am always nervous meeting new people, but I think things will go well. You might not like DHS like we do, you never know.

I think they will probably add some shows, at least I hope they do.

Bertha is not scary I promise... I need you to take pics of Terry and I while we are together, or I won't get very many pictures...

I guess I will sing loud enough for the both of us...

Fine, guilt me into it . Don't forget about photopass then you can always be in the picture .

Can't wait to hear you sing!

I can't afford to hire a photopass guy to follow us around and since you said you will be stalking us anyways, I thought this would be a perfect solution...

Oh hey, I haven't told you yet today but, 46 DAYS!!!
