Sounds like a great day at DHS! I love all the Tower of Terror pictures, especially of the ghosts and the one where you can see outside. I took a picture like that too but I love how in Caitlin's you can even see some of the letters from "Hollywood!"

Wow, so many resort changes! How do you guys do it?! Is it easy to do a split stay? I just don't know if I'd like packing up and having to move somewhere else.

Caitlin was really pleased with how the pics came out

Well what happened was we rented points at SSR and then decided to go early and then decided to add a night at the end. So thats how we ended up with 3. But we love split stays and find them really easy. I just pack everyones stuff together and we only open the bag we need for each stay. That way we aren't constantly unpacking and repacking. Hopefully it will go smoothly

Whoa, what a productive morning! Having a nice productive, riding TSMM TWICE, riding Tower of Terror, riding the Great Movie Ride, meeting buzz and still all before lunch time... WOW! Speaking of Buzz, great picture of him with Caitlin btw Both your breakfasts look and sound awesome (even with the absence of Mickey Waffles)

LOL @ the little "Liberaci Museum" quote! I can only imagine how funny that was to hear and the extreme confusion thereafter The things you hear in Disney...

Yay for the double digit happy dance! So excited for you two!

Can't wait to read about more of your DHS day!

We were surprised how much we got done in such a short amount of time. For some reason the only busy attraction was RNRC.

Thank you! We can't wait to get back!

How awesome that Caitlin was able to get an egg white croissant. I'm going to have to remember that for my upcoming trip, substitutions and such.

Awesome that you were the 9th and 10th riders on TSM! It's my favorite ride too. So much fun. Makes me so competitive though.

She was a bit hesitant to ask but they were very accomodating.

Isn't TSM great?! But we aren't competitive at all

Enjoying your TR. Finally got to ride TSM last week for the first time!! We loved it - now I see what all the fuss is about. I also have to admit that we also enjoy the Great Movie too!
So jealous of Caitlin's ToT pics! She really got some nice shots!

So glad you finally got to ride TSM
It is just so fun!
Yes she did but her dad wasn't too happy that she had his camera

 

[TinksThree]

Slightly jealous you got so many rides in on TSMM! I love that ride and ToT too! The pictures at ToT are awesome!! I love The Great Movie Ride also! I think people either like it or else they give it a bad rap!

Wow it looks like it was pretty grey out that day at HS! I hope it didn't rain too much and ruin your day.

3 resorts for September - good for you. They all sound wonderful.

Wow on the no waits for TSM. I am seriously envious! How cool to walk off the ride before 9am. Awesome.

Be back later to see pics.

Didn't know there was a Liberace museum in LV, but it figures.

That many resorts is a bit unusual but we decided we wanted a longer trip so its all good

We felt very spoiled!

Be back later to see pics.

I didn't either but that gentleman was so excited about it

1st - cute dress. Too bad Caitlin never got a chance to wear it. Bummer.

Love the GMR pics. I can't wait to see how mine turned out.

Go Caitlin for taking pictures on ToT. I never seem to work up the nerve to take my camera out. I must change that. The holographics are so cool.

We were all really disappointed. The pageant is a lot of fun and she could have used the scholarship $

Thank you I'm sure your pictures will be awesome

So more changes to our September/October trip! Anyone suprised??? Well this change is another member to our crew! My grandpa will be joining us! We haven't gone to Disney with him since I was 2 1/2 and the last time he went was 10 years ago! We are so excited to have him along and show him how much Disney has changed!

So when we left off we were enjoying DHS! We decided to go for a ride on the Backlot Tour!

While we were over there we decided to head over to see some of our Monster friends!

Little did we know we would decide to be them for the Halloween party! Mom is being Mike, Grandpa is being Sully and I am being Boo

After we left them we headed to walk around the Streets of New York.

It was a bit eerie being back there with no one and we could hear all of the atmosphere sounds that we had never heard before! Sounds of traffic echoed through the streets and it felt like being back in New York

I took this picture for all of our DIS friends who are addicted to Once Upon a Time like I am

We had, had seeing Phineas and Ferb on our to do list so we headed over to see them but unfortunately the line was closed Oh well we had all day so we figured we would be back to see them later.

Since we were near the Mupper Store we decided to do a bit of browsing. I love all of the merchandise in here!

I was a huge fan of the new Muppet Movie and I am so excited they are making another one! Now I just wish they would update the actual Muppetvision 3d movie! I know that it is the last movie with Jim Henson as the voice but you could keep some of it and update the rest because really who likes that stupid 3d character anyway?!

Rant over we decided to head towards our lunch. On our way there we were stopped by some streetmosphere performers! I absolutely love DHS just because of the streetmosphere performers! This time we saw the chef and the cowboy and of course I had to take a pic!

After our rendezvous we headed to lunch at the

I was a bit nervous about this lunch because although the menu looked good I had heard some bad things about the restaurant on the DIS.


We had the Fantasmic package which included an appetizer, entree and dessert. This was a ton of food!!! When we were seated our waiter immediately came over and took our drink orders. He was very nice and one of the bright moments of this lunch!

Bread for starters

First was our appetizers.

Mom got Our Famous Cobb Salad - with finely chopped greens, turkey breast, egg, bacon, tomatoes, crumbled bleu cheese, avocado, chives and Cobb dressing

I got Blue Lump Crab Spring Rolls - snow crab claw and a Asian slaw with spicy miso aioli

We both loved our appetizers!!! They were delicious and had a great mix of flavors!!

Now to what we were worried about the entrees. I figured I would find something I would like but Mom isn't an adventurous eater so she wasn't sure what she would get.

I got Grilled Loch Duart Salmon - blue cheese polenta cake, and autumn vegetables sauteed with tapenade and a calamata beurre blanc

Mom got Roasted Free-range Ashley Farms Breast of Chicken - stuffed with serano ham, machego cheese, and spinach over a Fabada stew and tomato concasse

I hated mine! It was absolutely disgusting! The blue cheese polenta cake tasted so nasty! Mom actually didn't mind hers but she wasn't in love with it.

To make up for it though we got dessert. I actually had an appetizer dessert though for my birthday

For my real dessert I got Double Vanilla Bean Créme Brulée - with Dark Chocolate-dipped Biscotti

Delicious!

Mom got Banana White Chocolate Toffee Tower - on Cocoa-Almond Cookie and Bananas Foster

After dessert we were given our Fantasmic passes and our waiter asked us if we had any one else in our group. He was willing to give us extra passes to use if we had, had anyone else!

So the apps and desserts were worth going back for and the exemplary service!

Where will we head to next?

I am in love with that Beaker hat at the Muppet store. I need one!

I am SOOO excited they are making The Muppets 2!
You can probably see I like the Muppets a lot. Anyways…

I’m glad your appetizers were good, but that stinks your entrees weren’t as good.
