Feeling Hot Hot Hot! The Rain Curse is Broken! Two Weeks of Fun in the Sun! COMPLETE

[PlutosRHM55]

The Countdown to Fun parade looks a lot cooler than when I saw the video for it, when it first opened up. I actually may see it now, though BPB was much better

You had some pretty... interesting drawings. Yours was the best, though Erich's also looked nice (Dopey/Sorcerer Mickey LOL) And based on what I've read about your brothers in this TR, the characters they got sound totally like them. What character did you get?

When I saw that this chapter involved an injury, I was totally expecting one of your brothers and I was right! Hope it wasn't too bad so he could've continued on in the festivities of the trip, but he sounded alright

I haven't seen Beauty and the Beast since Four for a Dollar left. They were one of my favorite parts of the show. I'm still hoping they bring them back someday.

Me too! They were great!

I love everybody's drawings from Animation Academy, especially the sailboat. That looks like a fun thing to do. It's on my list of things to do as soon as the boys can handle it.

It is so much fun, I recommend it to everybody.

I had decided on the Red Velvet cupcake to try in October, but now your Chocolate Peanut Butter cupcake has me second guessing myself. Maybe I'll bring my own to go box and get both.

The red velvet does look very good, good idea about bringing your own container.

I didn't do the character quiz this trip. In the past I have been Maleficent and Cinderella.

Typically I am the one who gets injured in our family since I am a klutz but this time around it was Erich due to his stupidity.

Animation Academy is definitely one of my fave things at HS! I think you did a great job with Sorcerer Mickey! I don't have very good drawing abilities either, but the classes do seem to make it a little easier!

I love the PhotoPass pic of all of you!

And I never even knew that the "which character are you" thing even exsisted. We must go in the wrong way or something!!

I'm glad Erich's leg wasn't too bad...silly boy!

 

[jenbear123]

Thanks for the info on the parade. I love how you were a Villain and then switch over to Cinderella. You couldn't be more of two opposites! I'll have to give those personality character tests a try....

They really do, so long as you have a good instructor.

The games are between where you see Mickey and the photo area for whatever character/movie is out at the time.

I know! I'm just waiting for the day one of them seriously injuries themselves with one of their silly stunts.

I have a different personality with different people. Around the girl in my program who screwed up our group presentation and makes distasteful jokes about patients I am as mean as Maleficent, to my friends I am as sweet and kind as Cinderella.

That's so cool you got to draw Sorcerer Mickey!! The Animation Academy is one of my new favorite attractions.

It is a favourite of mine as well, I told them we were not leaving the park that day until we had been to a class.

 

[englishrose47]

Great Update !!Those Bros !!! Will they ever learn !! I see your one personality is NOT afraid of mice but how about RATS!!!!

 

[GeminiAngel]

Your drawing is great! Mom looks relaxed.

I think your brothers need to realize, you're not the only one who's no longer a teenager!

Poor Erich, I hope the leg gets better. Nothing worse than have a self-inflected gimpy towing along!

 

[lbuzz52]

You got some great shots of the parade!
The animation academy looks like fun. I definitely have to keep that on my "next trip" list.

 

[oOJulieOo]

I'm all caught up again!

That cupcake looks delicious. As does the fried chicken and the burger and the chicken pot pie. Can you tell I miss American food?! I'm practically drooling!

It sounds like you got a lot done at DHS. Great morning!

I am very impressed that you were all able to get ready and get out the door in time for rope drop.

I'm sorry you didn't sleep well throughout the trip. I hope the sleepless nights didn't affect your days too much!

 

[ddstratton]

We've never done the Animation Academy. Looks like you guys had a great time at DHS.

I guess I must not be too afraid of rats either since I didn't scream bloody murder when that one tried to climb up my leg.

Your drawing is great! Mom looks relaxed.

Poor Erich, I hope the leg gets better. Nothing worse than have a self-inflected gimpy towing along!

I wonder when we will all start acting our age?

Definitely try it out when you have the chance.

Yeah but you are probably eating much healthier over there.

Not too much, made me a bit grouchy but other than that no big effect.

You have to go! It is so much fun!

 

[KatMark]

I could have sworn I responded yesterday, but I guess not.

I love the parade pictures at DHS (we've not done a parade there in over ten years). You guys did great at the Animation Studios (we did this for the first time last year -- we had Donald Duck -- and I can't wait to go back this year). I did not know about the "Which Character are You?" Where exactly is that...I want to do that this year.

What a great photopass picture (and your brothers actually look like they almost posed "normal" for a pic!).

Me too !!! I am bound to be a Princess

 

[Moira222]

The parade looks like a lot of fun ...but I have an almost 8 year old...

I didn't know you could sneak through the store for the animation studio. very cool although I really do enjoy the film with Mushu. We did this for the first time last month and did Donald. it was fun!

I am laughing at your brothers...apparently you also travel with almost 8 year olds at least he only got a leg cramp and didn't drown himself.

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

You know I have never done the Animation thing at WDW or DLR? It looks like fun and I know Mads and Evan will love it! Your Mickey doesn't look too bad.


to injured legs! I hope Erich's leg wasn't too bad! Nothing is worse than spending precious vacation time at Centra Care.

 

[crazyfordisney2000]

I really wanted to try the Red Velvet Cheesecake cupcake but no way I could have managed it without a take away container and I knew we would not have time to go back during Star Wars Weekends. Hopefully they still have it in 5 YEARS when we go back.

Too bad they didn't have the proper containers, you could have gotten both , they make an EXCELLENT breakfast!

I wonder when we will all start acting our age?

How boring life would be then...

Enjoying your trip report..

 

[YukiPhnx]

My gosh, how do I get so behind?

I MUST hang out with your brothers one day. I bet it would be awesome. Love those pole dancing pictures! Erich sure knows how to "exercise"!!

Too bad the Belle you got couldn't really sing...that kinda ruins the show.

I like Alek's boat picture with a boat on the guy's head.

Wow...that cupcake...I think I'll have to try the red velvet one.

The only parade that we had planned to see this trip was the Electrical Parade but it was fun to see this one even though it wasn't in "the plan".

The Character game is in the animation building between the Mickey greeting spot and the Winnie the Pooh greeting spot (the character spot that is always changing depending on what movie is coming out and getting promoted).

Yes, sometimes Alek and Erich are kind to their mother and pose for a normal photo.

Yep, you can sneak in through the gift shop if you want to skip the film. The Mushu movie is funny but it doesn't really change from year to year so we don't bother with it anymore and just skip over it.

Well if Erich had drowned himself Alek and I are both certified in First Aid and CPR as you will see later in the trip.

You should try the animation class in December!

Yep, I was praying that we would not have the trip disrupted due to Erich's goofing around.

Too bad they didn't have the proper containers, you could have gotten both , they make an EXCELLENT breakfast!

I was surprised they didn't have the container as I know Main Street Bakery has pastry containers so logically you would think Starring Rolls would as well. Perhaps it was good they didn't have the take away container as we(I) ended up with my fair share of junk in the room.
