"Excuse me, could you tell me what time it is please?" UPDATE! To DVC or not?

Rapunzel and Flynn were great, from a wait perspective, though, I don't agree with how they are handling it. It would be better if it were more like the Tiana wait, wait in line..meet the characters get pic taken..off you go

We felt the same way. I wouldn't have waited if I'd been running the show, but it was great that DM offered to. Next trip I'm sure we'll skip it because my DH is nowhere near as patient as Ferb!

I read that Phineas & Ferb over at Studios is going to be a "play" experience too and I sure hope it is MUCH higher capacity than Rapunzel & Flynn because with the wider appeal of P&F that could make for some really crazy waits. And my crazy kids will probably still want to do it, at least once.
 
yay for the meet and greet. I know we won't be waiting. We are getting to MK to late in the day to make it to the first meet and I am not that patient. I can't beleive popel are actually waiting hours for this.
 
Love the pics! How exactly does the line for Rapunzel work? We haven't visited them yet.
 
I love the pic of the girls with Pluto it looks like its from one of the ads :) Rope Drop looked great beautiful day!

We will OF COURSE have to do a Phineas Ferb meet when we finally get back in 2012!! How can my Ferb NOT meet their Ferb?!;) Plus the girls would love it..the only problem is do you do the TSM run or the P&F run? OY!! :scared1:

I don't think we would wait hours to meet ANYONE!!! I can't imagine?! But thanks to our loving DISboards family, we all have strategies to do the things we know that we have to do! :thumbsup2 And there will always be a next time for us Disney lovers too!! So what you don't get done this time, will get done next time..cuz we know there's always gonna be a next time!!!


Love the pics! How exactly does the line for Rapunzel work? We haven't visited them yet.

Well, like I said we did RD and we walked almost directly there, minus the Pluto meet, and there were already people in line. When they are ready to let people in they keep everyone in order in line, and you walk up the ramp that leads to the "stage" area and wait in line there. The kids are encouraged to go stand around the table in front of the stage to color while we wait for the characters to arrive. There is a CM acting like an MC of the show, while the kids are coloring there are PP people taking cute pics of the kids absorbed in the coloring, they did that in order of the parents in line, "that's my dd in a pink skirt with Rapunzel on her shirt" sort of thing. Then the characters come out and dance with the kids around the table. Then they start meeting the kids in order of the line up, while you wait your turn the CM plays pass the Pascal with a stuffed version. It was cute and the CM even made the PP girl come over to take some cute shots of our Rapunzel with Pascal because she had some mirrored glasses on...then you meet them and you're on your way! As far as I feel about it, cute, but should just be a meet and greet line so it moves faster and they can get more kids in!


I love the pic of the girls with Pluto it looks like its from one of the ads :) Rope Drop looked great beautiful day!

It was a beautiful day! And we always think it's cute how Pluto has to hold the autograph books!!
 
Day Two Continued:

We left off having just met Rapunzel and Flynn! It took up a huge portion of our morning touring, but as you can see in our Rapunzel's face in the pics, totally worth it!! Even Stitch didn't seem to mind the wait and had fun watching the dancing!

We had a 9:30 appt with The Main Street Barber Shop to get the girls all funkified and Pixified!! We were wondering if we were going to make it in time!! This is where the name of this TR starts to come into play..we didn't have a watch. We've never needed one outside of Disney..EVER!! Our phone has a clock, our car has a clock, there are clocks all over our work place..who needs a watch these days? Well, we can't use our phone in Disney, we aren't driving our cars at Disney, and there aren't clocks all over Disney!! So, we kept having to check the time on our camcorder to see if we had enough time to get stuff done!! It was sooooo annoying!! And then, when we split up, Ferb had the camcorder and I had to keep asking people!! "Excuse me, could you tell me what time it is please?" :lmao: And I cannot even tell you how many times we had to do that! :sad2: Every time I would say we need to get a watch..I saw some really nice ones everywhere we went, but for some reason I never seemed to get the itch to buy one except for when I was asking someone what time it was!! Too bad that never happened inside a gift shop!!:rotfl:


Alright, back to the actual TR!! The Tangled meet and greet was supposed to start at 9:15, and our Appt was for 9:30..we were about 5 kids behind in line...could we make it? Well, they must have started early..because we made it!! It was about 9:25 when we walked out of there after the dancing and the playing and the meeting and the signing and the picture taking!! WOO HOOO!!!!! What a fantastic start to this vacation!!!
Well, we BOOKED it over there and got lost!!!! AHAHAHA!!!:rotfl::rotfl:
What was I thinking?!! I knew where it was, but somehow we got turned around, and I found it finally..but we were still on time!! I seriously don't know how?!

We had planned to get the girls hair up in ponytails and striped with gel and sprinkled with pixie dust. They normally won't let me do anything to their hair at home, but I showed them some pics of what they do here and they wanted to do it!

Stitch hates having anyone touch her hair!!
100_2487-1.jpg

That must've hurt!!!

But worth it!!
100_2488-1.jpg


Before:
100_2492-1.jpg


After:
100_2494-1.jpg


We walked out of there and were at a loss as to what to do...we just slowly walked down Main Street and took in the ambiance!! I must tell you that it was WONDERFUL to not have a stroller this time!! You especially notice it on Main Street because of the trolley tracks and the masses of people!!
I have to regretfully admit to not having taken any notes during our vacation. I am using our pics, receipts and collaborative memories to relate the details of our vacation...so I may be off on some of the timing of things...sorry guys..but you will get the gist of everything!!

We headed into Fantasyland next and to get a couple of rides done. It was too late for Dumbo..the line wasn't worth waiting in. We used our fast passes for PPF and then we headed over to Frontierland as Fantasyland was too busy to do anything without waiting too long. We did BTMRR and then grabbed FP for it..then we had some lunch at Pecos Bills.

Sorry for the smushed food..we forgot to take pics right away:guilty:
100_2495-1.jpg

Ferb and I had the taco salad!!

The girls shared a cheeseburger.
100_2497-1.jpg


Next we headed back towards Fantasyland..we saw the street party in Frontierland but walked the wooden walkway to avoid it..too congested!! My hopes were to get Rapunzel on HM with her new Disney Princess flashlight!! No way Jose!!! So Stitch and Ferb rode it and I took Rapunzel on the dreaded Small World...I actually don't mind this ride, but Stitch refuses to ride it!! LOL!!!

Such a happy girl to have avoided HM and to be on her almost fave ride!!
100_2498-1.jpg


We met up with Stitch and Ferb and headed into Tomorrowland!! Walking along I saw that there was a meet and greet set up next to Stitch's "attraction".
Not a very good pic of our Stitch, but you can see where Stitch signed on his page!!
100_2502-1.jpg


100_2501-1.jpg


We needed a break from all the criss-cross walking we had been doing and we had never been on the TTA People Mover before..so we headed over to that..only there was a line!! And it wasn't moving!!! We waited way too long, but we really wanted to sit and ride it...we never found out what was happening, but we finally made it up there.

100_2507-1.jpg


I hate pics of myself..but you can see my Mary Poppins t-shirt here!
100_2508-1.jpg


From there we headed over to ride Buzz and it was a walk on!!

100_2509-1.jpg


100_2511-1.jpg


The we went in to see Monsters Inc..I don't know why, but we always laugh at those corny jokes! Gotta love it!!

We got out of there and I needed a snack!! Well, I didn't really need one, but one of the snacks that I wanted to try was for sale right around the corner from here so I grabbed one!! It was a cream cheese pretzel...and it was YUMMY!!!! We grabbed some frozen slushies too and we walked leisurely over to the hub. We saw PUSH along the way but he was heading in for a break. We walked over to Adventureland and saw this was starting!

100_2515-1.jpg


We had never seen it before so we stuck around for a few minutes. It was really cute and the guy doing Captain Jack Sparrow was AMAZING!! pirate: This of course put us in the mood for POC and we tried once again with no luck to get Rapunzel on it..oh well. Stitch and I rode and Ferb stood in line with Rapunzel to meet Pirate Goofy!! We rode BTMRR with our FP's next and by then it was time to leave for our dinner reservations at Kona!

We walked leisurely out of the park...it was a great day at MK..we would be returning later in the week to get other things done.
 
I love your first day shirts! Did you make them or buy them? I don't recognize either of the barbers at the barber shop. Usually we see Michal, who has been there for years and years. The girl's ponytails look cute!

After all our times passing by the Jack Sparrow show, we have never stopped to watch it. Just seen bits and pieces here and there. One of these days I am going to see it in full and the road show in Frontierland. Great pic of Jack Sparrow, they did a great job in casting!

It was cute!! I wish that my DD's were a little more out going and willing to try this..I think I might be able to get Rapunzel into it..but I don't want to get her hopes up and then not get picked..you know?

They REALLY did and amazing job casting him...he was spot on with mannerisms and he even SOUNDED like CJS!!!

We made the tshirts with the help of some designers from the disign board. It was fun and worth it to get the reactions from the characters!!
 
Alright, folks...got another hour on my own before I head out to meet up with a friend so I am going to finish Day two!! FINALLY!!!

Day Two Continued:

We were slowly heading out of the MK to our dinner reservation at Kona. Our reservation was for 5:05. We were early, but it was a good thing! As we got on the Monorail it started raining....when we got to the Poly, it was POURING!! We kept seeing people running in to the main building SOAKED to the bone...that would have been us if we had taken the time to ride just one more ride!! And you know how often we all have done that.."Oh let's just do this one more ride..we have the time.";)

We had brought along a change of clothes for everyone as we were going to be out late and on a boat...we knew it would be chilly out there on the water.
The girls had NO IDEA what we had planned for the evening!!
We were going to eat at Kona then suggest a ride on the Monorail, just cuz, and then of course get off at the Contemporary....just cuz ;).
But, back to dinner..
We've done O'hana a couple of times and we liked it, but we tried Kona last year and really like that too. After hearing about everyone's experiences with O'hana's check in troubles and waits for tables I wasn't surprised to see the LOOOOONG line at the podium. I only wish I had taken a pic. We were very happy to be able to walk right up the to podium at Kona and wait only about 10 minutes for our table. We had a great server..he was really friendly! Here are the obligatory food and drink porn pics.. ;)

Mommies Lapu Lapu and the girls Tinkerbell punch!
100_2516-1.jpg


Ferb and I each got the Asian noodles,we were going to get the steak which we love, but we knew were going to have steak the next day..But these were delish!!
100_2517-1.jpg


The girls ordered the hot dogs..I must have decided no pic was necessary?


The girls started to get really antsy about what our evening plans were. We totally played it off like we didn't know...we would just see...Evil, no?
We finished dinner and wandered towards the Monorail..."Hey, Ferb, let's go for a ride on this" "Hey, Ferb, let's get off here" " Hey, what's down stairs here?" "These look like convention rooms" All the while we are trying to figure out where to go!! :lmao: We really should have paid more attention when we were booking this..I had no idea where we were supposed to go..we kept following the signs they had in their advert boards...
So we got downstairs and you couldn't miss the set up for the party...the girls were still clueless, but wanted to know what the table was set up for. "I don't know, let's go ask" "Excuse me, just wondering what this is for?" "Oh, it's for our Pirate and Pals Fireworks Cruise" "Oh, I suppose you need to have a reservation for this then, huh?" So distraught, the CM says "Oh, sorry, yes you DO need a reservation." The girls were like..."Aaaawwwww..." :lmao::lmao::lmao:
SO I said "Could you look to see if you have a reservation for the *****"s?" And sure enough he did!! The girls were so excited!! We got checked in by a CM and he gave us all the info we needed plus our bandannas. We had some time to chill, there were couches set up by the washrooms outside of the Convention room. We just relaxed and waited for everyone to get checked in.

We took this pic by the escalator.
100_2518-1.jpg


See how excited they are..and note, they are wearing new t-shirts..this time with Peter Pan...keep that in mind for later!!

The party finally started and we headed in to the insanity that was this experience...Stitch started to get overwhelmed by the crowds and just wanted to sit and eat her snacks...she claimed that she was too tired for everything!! Rapunzel was good to go, she snacked and waited in line to meet Captain Hook and Mr Smee. This part was disappointing...the meet and greet took up the whole time and we ended up leaving late for the boats...plus we wish there had been a PP CM and the CM there wasn't very good controlling anything, Mr Smee even had a wardrobe malfunction the WHOLE time and the character CM didn't even notice, or if he did he didn't care?
100_2522-1.jpg


Captain Hook signed on the wrong page..he signed on Chip and Dale's page..oh well...

100_2523-1-1.jpg

Check out Mr Smee's arm!!

Ferb got into the action while we waited to leave the party area for our boats.
100_2526-1.jpg


Now, this is where we get seriously dusted with Pixie Dust. The girls had told me that they wanted to celebrate their birthdays while at Disney because Ferb and I had been able to in past years. I told them they could pick one day each out of the week and we would get them birthday buttons. This was Stitch's day... you may have noticed the button in previous pics. It was no where near their birthdays, they are both summer babies and since we vow never to go in the summer we gave in on this request. I think this is why we got dusted here.. and I will tell you that I feel sorry for any kid that might have been celebrating for real..but I truly believe that things happen for a reason, and Stitch was starting to have a truly rotten time that night..at one point she asked to go back to the hotel!!!

They pick a first mate for each boat (there are 2 boats). Yep, they called out Stitch's name!! We couldn't believe it. Stitch got to lead our crew out to the boat with the flag flying and walking with our Pirate guide Patch. Plus, Rapunzel got to hold Mr Smee's hand the whole way down!!! We were sooo excited for them...I took WAY too many pics!!

100_2527-1.jpg


Check out Mr Smee's collar and under his other sleeve! :sad2:
100_2530-1.jpg


100_2539-1.jpg


100_2544-1.jpg


The ride on the boat was so entertaining! Patch sang songs, told jokes, made a couple get up and dance while he sang "Kiss de girl"..and then they kissed!!! HAHAHA!! Before we knew it we were in front of the MK, and Wishes started before we were even in place...see we were late!!
But, it was AWESOME!! The music got piped into the boat and we got an amazing view!!
Once Wishes ended we headed back while Patch started trivia and gave away loot!! All the trivia was about Peter Pan...and guess who was waiting for us back at the dock? Yep....we walked to a lit spot for a meet and greet, still no PP CM.

He loved the girls shirts...he even mimicked the pics on the shirts!
100_2546-1.jpg

He was soooo cute!!

We got our autographs then headed to the front of the resort and grabbed a cab back to POR. In bed by 10!! Considering Wishes was at 8 and we had to ride back on the boat and then meet PP and then get a cab..being in bed by 10 was fantastic!! And..NO CROWDS!!! NO WAITING FOR A BUS!!! NO CROWDED BUS!! It was well worth the money just for that!:lmao:

That concludes a VERY busy and VERY fun day two!! Next day...Epcot!!!


Edited to add these pics I forgot...

Peter Pan and the "lost girls"
100_2550-1.jpg


And this is what we came back to in our room..a little mischievous mousekeeper had fun with our animals!!
100_2552-1.jpg


 
where did you get those shirts from?

We got the images for the DISign part of the disboards.com. And using pubisher we loaded the images in, edited the text/size etc, and using T-shirt transfer sheets (walmart) printed them out and ironed them on blank white shirts

They looked awesome! :wizard:
 
Wow, I am really rolling these out now!!:thumbsup2

Day Three:

This is our first Epcot day...and yesterday we exhausted ourselves by staying at MK from rope drop at 8AM until the Pirates and Pals Wishes Cruise at the Contemporary Resort and didn't get to bed until 10 PM. Just so you know, that is an amazingly long time for this family! ;)

The plan today was to sleep in, eat breakfast in the room and then leisurely head to Epcot for a slow tour of the WS and lunch at LeCellier. How well did this go? Well, I don't know how ANYONE can sleep in at Disney? We sure can't!! We were up, breakfasted, dressed and on the bus by 9 AM!!! :lmao:

But first, when we left the room we realized that we had our first signing on our wipe off board!! Here are pics of the board, our room door and the view from our room!
100_2554-1.jpg


100_2556-1.jpg


100_2557-1.jpg




We missed rope drop but that was just fine with us! We had no distinct plan for FW this morning. We headed to Soarin and rode that with a bit of a wait but I don't remember it being too long, and we grabbed FP's for later.
Then we headed over to TT. I wasn't sure if Rapunzel would ride, she didn't like it the first time she rode it, then she has been off and on about it since. Well she gave us the thumbs up when we asked!! :thumbsup2 The sign said 25 minutes..but boy was that WRONG!! We waited about 35 minutes and then we finally made it to the waiting area in front of the doors and the dreaded announcement came on about it being down. GREAT! So we waited about another 10 minutes or so..not too bad, but then the wrong door opened and all those people that were in line behind us got to go first. Well, I could tell everyone in our group were pretty peeved...but I was the only person with the cajones to go up and say something about it. "Oh, yeah, I thought that happened" Yep, you were right, that happened. :sad2: Moving on, we finally got to ride and it was great!! Rapunzel loves it now.:lovestruc After this we headed over to the WS as it was time to open...
The girls really wanted to try some more of the Kim Possible Missions. We figured they would keep the girls busy while we got to enjoy the countries. We had made WS Passports for the girls to get stamped and this would help us get to all of the countries this trip.

100_2558-1.jpg


100_2559-1.jpg


The rep at the KP booth told us we would start in Norway, but we actually got sent to China. It was fun, and we took some pics along the way:

100_2563-1.jpg


100_2564-1.jpg


We took the next mission and Ferb and Rapunzel headed out to solve that crime alone as Stitch wanted to hang out in China for awhile. She has been learning about Ancient China at school.

100_2565-1.jpg


100_2566-1.jpg


100_2567-1.jpg


Rapunzel and Ferb got another mission as Stitch and I headed into Norway to ride Maelstrom. Rapunzel didn't want to ride it. Turns out the next mission was Norway so we ended up running into them as they were finishing up.

100_2569-1.jpg


100_2571-1.jpg


Continued in next post:
 
Back together again, we ditched the KP Kimmunicator..Ferb had had ENOUGH!! :lmao: We moved on to finish the WS and get more stamps for the girls Passports. Along the way Rapunzel decided to get her face painted.


100_2575-1.jpg


And we got lots of pics of Topiaries along the way!!
100_2576-1.jpg


100_2577-1.jpg


100_2578-1.jpg


We met Snow White in Germany:
100_2583-1.jpg


This is our favorite movie right now! We just picked up the DVD/Blue Ray box set that came with a comb and brush. We of course had to buy a Blue Ray player to go with it! ;)
100_2584-1.jpg


100_2585-1.jpg


100_2586-1.jpg


100_2588-1.jpg


As we got closer to Japan I could hear these, so we stopped to watch:
100_2591-1.jpg


I was surprised to see that it was three women doing it! Rock on, Girlfriends!!
We continued along the WS and it was time for lunch so we booked it over to Canada! Gotta love coming home...:lovestruc Especially when it comes with a lunch like this one:

The much loved pretzel bread that we dipped in Cheddar Cheese Soup
100_2593-1.jpg


Ferb's Mushroom Filet
100_2595-1.jpg


Rapunzel's steak from the kids menu
100_2597-1.jpg


Stitch got the burger
100_2598-1.jpg


My steak!! NY Strip YUMMY!!
100_2599-1.jpg
 
Continued from previous post..too many pics;)
After lunch we rolled, I mean we walked towards FW and used our Soarin FP and then rode SPE on the way out.
I rode with Rapunzel and Stitch rode with Ferb...I love taking pics here!!
100_2601-1.jpg


100_2604-1.jpg


We headed back for a swim and restful end to the day. This was in our room...
100_2611-1.jpg


100_2612-1.jpg


100_2613-1.jpg


We loved this Mousekeeper! She kept the room clean and had fun with our stuff!
We swam and hung out it was fun..I had a Pina Colava..yummmm! :drinking1
Then we headed into the main building and did some window shopping and had a snack at the food court.

You'd think he was the one that had the Pina Colava :lmao:
100_2616-1.jpg


I took this shot on the way back to the room..we crossed a bridge every time we headed back to the room and this was the waterway..
100_2615-1.jpg

It made for a peaceful walk!
Off to bed we went and got a good night sleep...which was a good thing..tomorrow was DHS, rope drop and Toy Story Mania!! And I mean MANIA!!! :scared1:
 
How cool that you got China when your daughter is studying it! My son loved doing KP in China until we got to the building with the statues, they freaked him out. Though he loved the cage with the cricket outside.

I'm so glad you shared the pics of food!! Is the pretzel bread salted like at Biergarten?

I love looking at the pics of POR. We are staying at FQ in September. I forgot how nice it is to walk along the river at night. Did you see any of Bob Jackson's shows while you were there?
 
Day Four!!
Disney's Hollywood Studios..not my favorite park..I always have a hard time figuring this one out. I mean, once you do the TSM mad dash, what do you do next? I can never figure out the timing of things..why oh why is it so hard?
Anyways, the park was opening at 9 and we HAD to make it for RD or we would have to wait forever to ride TSM and who knows what time our FP would be for?!! The STRESS!!! :lmao:
We got up early had breakfast in the room again and made it with tons of time to spare, but still there were tons of people already there. This is the day we went against TP's recommendations. We kind of had to because we wanted to see Fantasmic. The only thing is, it was ESPN The Weekend as well. We had read that it didn't affect wait times on rides too much so we gave it a shot. BIG MISTAKE!!! Live and learn, but the next time we want to see Fantasmic we will try to avoid any and all special events!!
We made it into the park only to find out that they had ESPN running the opening show, and we were all confused as to where to go and what was going on? It wasn't a good feeling, and for non sports fans it was SO ANNOYING!!!! Sorry sports fans, but we just don't get it?:sad2:
While the show was still going on they dropped the rope and we made the mad dash!!
Here was our plan: Have Ferb "run" ahead and get in line for FP's and the girls and I would dodge the crowds and wait in the stand-by line for Ferb to join us. I was nervous when we made it to the line...it was VERY long, but that was only because the winding bars inside the line were all closed off so it was pretty much a straight walk. But, it seemed to be taking Ferb forever to get the FP's..he had been way ahead of us in the crowds, but he seemed to be nowhere? I started to get worried, just as he showed up. Apparently someone was getting FP's for their Grand Gathering in front of him..poor guy. He made it to us just before the line headed inside!

100_2617-1.jpg


100_2618-1.jpg


100_2619-1.jpg


We just love that ride..I know some people think it's just a glorified arcade game, but we LOVE it!! After that we headed to The Great Movie Ride..the wait for that was too long. We got the gangster and it was a girl! Sorry, but that just doesn't work for me..I mean is Snow White ever played by a guy? Wierd? Then we headed over to Muppets. This was closed for refurb when we were here last year so it was good to see it again. The seats are great, but the movie could use an update. We really like it, though.

100_2621-1.jpg


We headed over to the Animation Courtyard and watched Ariel. That's always cute, but the poor girl was off key a bit..I felt like it was American Idol instead!! :rotfl: We headed over to Tower of Terror so Ferb could ride and the girls and I walked over to RnR to grab FP"s for Stitch to use with Ferb and I later. We met Ferb in the lobby of the hotel and he was thoroughly terrorized!! :scared1: It was time for lunch so we headed down the street to Rosie's All American Cafe. No pics sorry, but Ferb and I each got the Angus Cheeseburger and the girls shared chicken nuggets and fries. It was okay, we were so hungry at that point that we could have eaten anything!! We headed out to the hotel for a rest at this point.

When we returned we went over to use our FP's for RNR. I rode with Stitch first, it was AWESOME!!! When we got out Ferb didn't want to ride so I rode with her again...back to back RNR isn't necessarily the best idea!:sick::rotfl:

We took these pics along the way back to the Animation Building:
100_2624-1.jpg


100_2625-1.jpg



Next we headed into the Animation building to see if there were any good characters out..turns out we were way off with our timing today. We did get to see this guy:
100_2626-1.jpg


I don't know what possessed Rapunzel to do this? YUCK!!!
100_2628-1.jpg


We used our TSM FP's and then it was time for dinner at Sci Fi dine in!
Food Porn!!

My Beef and Blue salad:
100_2629-1.jpg


Ferb's Reuben:
100_2631-1.jpg


The girls got Mac n cheese and a hot dog. We let them get the milk shakes since we hadn't had any sugar today. Ferb and I got Cherry Coke...the real kind that they mix there!! LOVE IT!!!!

We had a really nice waitress that took our picture:

Now it was time to line up for Fantasmic. It was getting dark and it was kind of hard to figure out where exactly the line started. We got there pretty early and the line up got long really fast!! I was leery of how this would work considering we were basically blocking the side walk on one side. And I was right to be concerned...I cannot even tell you how many people just pushed through the line to get to the other side...instead of walking around the line to the other side of the street. It was sooo frustrating because we had to wait there for a long time and Rapunzel was tired of standing so we let her sit at our feet with her flashlight. Well, that wasn't safe with all those people pushing through. I am glad we dealt with it all, but I am also glad that we know how this works for next time. I got this creepy shot while we waited:

Fantasmic was beyond our expectations. I didn't take any pics and wouldn't let Ferb tape it either. I wanted us to just enjoy ourselves, and we did. We all loved it.
Then we had to make it back to the hotel which meant waiting for the bus...I really hate that part of the night. We agreed that next year we will rent a car. It was a weird day, but we got almost everything done on our lists. We never got to see Lights, Motor, Action and I feel bad for Ferb because he really wanted to see it finally. Plus with Star Tours shut down still this park was even more of a bummer. We headed to bed right away. Tomorrow we could sleep and shop and swim..it's our day off!!
 
How cool that you got China when your daughter is studying it! My son loved doing KP in China until we got to the building with the statues, they freaked him out. Though he loved the cage with the cricket outside.

I'm so glad you shared the pics of food!! Is the pretzel bread salted like at Biergarten?

I love looking at the pics of POR. We are staying at FQ in September. I forgot how nice it is to walk along the river at night. Did you see any of Bob Jackson's shows while you were there?

Yeah, I never even thought at the time that it was a good country for them to get, but you're right and Stitch will be taking those pics in to school to show the class. She was so excited to be able to tell me all about everything!
I've never had the pretzel bread in Germany, but this is salted. And YUMMY!!
We missed his show, the only night we would have been around for it he was off..or maybe we were too early? The timing was off for sure..I have heard that he is great and would love to see him sometime!!
 
The hair makeovers look great! :thumbsup2

Mr Smee's costume does look a bit out of sorts on the cruise! Am glad you all still managed to have a really good night and have a really special meet n greet with Peter Pan! :cool1:

Yay on making the TSMM dash and being successful! That Fantasmic line does not sound good - we will be lining up in September and am hoping it is not that bad! :)
