So when I last updated, we had finished doing TOT again and then decided to head to the resort for lunch, a swim and to hook up with Mary's friends that were arriving that day. The problem was how the heck to get out of there. Every which way we tried to go, we were told to go the other way because of the festivities going on for Star Wars Weekend. We ended up having to wait near the Great Movie Ride by a spot where the cast was coming off the stage.
We finally got out of the Studios and headed back to the Beach Club. We checked in at the pool and got our wristbands:
A quick stop in the ladies room:
And then we were checking in here to have lunch:
Yes, that would be Beaches and Cream. We had about a 25 mintue wait, but we just sat outside and the girls chit chatted while us adult had some "adult" chit chat time.
Soon we were escorted into our table:
Some of the food items we had:
It was yummy, as always (I do love this place).
We then headed up to the room so the girls could get into their bathing suits. We then headed down to meet Mary's friends who were already at the pool (Judy, Ryan, Sam and Cameron). I will not be posting pictures of that group (if I do...I will be scrambling their faces as we don't have permission to post their pictures).
The girls at the pool:
Unfortunately, about 45 minutes into our swim time, a storm came around and the pool was cleared once again.
Back to the room we went and changed out of swimsuits. We were headed back to the Studios for some more play time.
This was the first of the horrible bus service we had. First, they told us the boats weren't running because of the rain so we should get a bus (and this took four different transfers on the phone at the front desk to find this out...none of them seemed to know what they were doing). So we waited and we waited and we waited for a bus. After the 3rd phone call from the bus stop, we were told the buses were no longer running to the Studios and we should catch a boat. So off we went back to catch a boat.
Someone didn't seem to mind all the waiting and ws still smiling:
We arrived back and it rained off and on the rest of the night, so I only took the camera out once.
We met some other friends at Pizza Planet for dinner where there was quite the drama (I felt so bad for the kids). We then gave Judy's husband and older son the fastpasses for Toy Story Mania, along with the "problem" group. We shopped with Judy and Cameron while they rode. Then Judy's husband, Cameron, Heather, the girls, Avery, Cayley and I headed to TOT where we rode twice (and the rest of the group except me rode four more times in total).
I'm not sure what Mary, Judy and Cameron did during this time. The rain was annoying (as was the slow motion of a 3 year old walking), so we called it a night and headed back to the resort for another busy day the next day.
) but now I love it too! Funny how that happens! Glad you convinced the girls to go on it!
Congrats to Avery for doing so great in her competitions and good luck to Cayley in her upcoming first season competing!
Although I can tell everyone in the entire car is having a great time on that first ride! 
the last 4 pages at least have had the onging no refrigerators in the resorts debate...I don't even want to go to my PTR right now 
Fred is home on Tues and Wed we go to POP for 2 nights, there you go you're all caught up with me 
ToT will never be my favorite at DHS as long as they have RnR, but I am starting to appreciate it more with each time I ride it!!! 
Hi Kat!!!!
