Well where the H E double hockey sticks have I been for the last almost year? Sheer laziness. I could make excuses. Lucy started high school, Maura started middle school. Lucy was in 4 shows. Three at school, and The Laramie Project at the theater I work for. Maura was in 2 shows. One at the high school (they let middle schoolers be in it), and A Charlie Brown Christmas at the theater I work at. Driving them around to various friend's houses and other activities. Doing work on the board I'm on for the girls' softball league. Yes, I did all those things, but I could have found time to update once in a while. We leave for Florida in 3 weeks and 2 days and we'll be at Disney starting August 18th. I have to finish this before our trip!
Lucy is learning to drive now, and Maura just turned 13 so now I have 2 teenage girls in my house. Yikes! They've been doing theater all summer at the Academy where I work. Other than that, we are all pretty much the same. The girls and I had Covid in May, but it was short lived and not severe. Jason remains a unicorn and hasn't gotten it yet.
But now, back to Disney 2020. We had just gotten off Rock and Roll Rollercoaster and decided to check the wait for TOT. Well, it said 40 minutes. By this point in the trip, we knew better. It was actually 21 minutes. We did get some photos while waiting in line though.
IF there is anything resembling a palm tree, one of us will photograph it.
Ridiculousness.
Before we knew it, we were on the ride. This is actually a pretty good picture. At this point I don't remember who took it, but I'm going with Jason.
Not as good.
I think this is our ride photo. I don't think this was from earlier. Look at my crazy husband.
Since we were so near to Hollywood Scoops, our favorite ice cream spot in WDW, we all got something. Chocolate, mint chip, and orange sherbet by the looks of it. Also because I just looked at the receipt and that's what it said.
After that is was on to Toy Story Mania! Once again, the posted wait time proved to be incorrect. Said 30 minutes, but we waited 13. This is such a fun queue though, we had to take some pictures. Our kids don't even have the pleasure of knowing what this thing is. I wish I still had my viewmaster!
This was fun. An Etch-a-Sketch that drew on itself.
No idea. I guess they're ready to ride!
I'm guessing Jason and I were ride partners and this crappy, blurry picture is the proof.
Dang! He beat me, but I did pretty well!
With sore trigger arms, we headed over to see Walt's Tour. This sort of replaced One Man's Dream I think. It was cool, but not as cool as the old one. We did see Oswald though. He'd a family favorite.
Descendant's costumes. Pretty cool.
I'm not sure if Maura is bowing to him in homage or if she was just tired.
At the end of the tour they were showing a preview of the then-coming attraction of the live action Mulan. The preview was great, and we have since seen the whole movie and enjoyed it.
We decided to walk back over to Star Tours and took a few pictures along the way. I'm very surprised to see Maura on Jason's shoulders in this picture. I have no idea how she got him to agree to that since it was so hot.
And even though the Indy show wasn't open, Lucy had to pull the rope for old time's sake. The guy was still down there!
