[wdwgirl03]

Yay for getting to see the castle lights and other Christmas decorations! It really is one of the best times to go. I love the dream lights.

I am so sad about the BTMRR refurb since it'll be closed still on our trip. Boo!

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

I still need to see Beauty and the Beast in 3d! I am so upset I haven't seen it yet since it my favorite movie of all time!

I love boat rides at night! MK and the resorts look gorgeous all lit up!

Great pics of the Castle!

Thanks and Welcome The trip was really fun, I have so many great stories to tell

I still need to see Beauty and the Beast in 3d! I am so upset I haven't seen it yet since it my favorite movie of all time!

I love boat rides at night! MK and the resorts look gorgeous all lit up!

Great pics of the Castle!

It was so good! I love that movie as well, I find it amazing that after all of these years that is still one of my favorite movies ever! I think it will still be in theaters for a while which is good.

Those boats are so magical and I love riding on them! It was so pretty to see the MK and the resorts all lit up! I was sooo unbelievably excited to see that the castle was lit up that the resorts being lit up took a back seat for that day.

Yay for getting to see the castle lights and other Christmas decorations! It really is one of the best times to go. I love the dream lights.

I am so sad about the BTMRR refurb since it'll be closed still on our trip. Boo!

I know, I think i was more excited about the castle and christmas decorations than I had been about anything else that day. i agree that christmas is one of the best times of year to be in disney!

about Big Thunder Mountain being down while you are there! I hate when one of my fav rides is down while I'm there!

How awesome that you got there and the dreamlights were still on! That's one of my favorite times of year to go. The castle is honestly spectacular. My friend was surprised when we went, because she was under the impression the castle looked like that all the time. I had to explain to her that it was not the case. What a great surprise for your trip.

It really was awesome! I literally was jumping up and down when I saw that the christmas lights were still up!

That's funny about your friend! She must have been disappointed when you told her that was only one time of year. I wish it were like that more often but once a year makes it that much more special!

It really was a great surprise!

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, i just have been constantly distracted every time I have gone to update this TR.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our First Night!!!!!!

So after our castle picture extravaganza we decided to go over 2 Frontier land to ride Big Thunder Mountain before the refurbishment began the next day. Plus Big Thunder Mountain is about 10 times more fun at night than it is during the day.

When we got to the ride we pulled out our resort cards, it took us a long time to get our cards out because we forgot about that aspect of EMH until we actually got 2 the front of the line.

Once we got our cards checked we got right in line for the ride. It was a longer line for Big Thunder Mountain but the line moved really quickly so it was only a 20 minute wait which isn't a bad wait!

We decided to go toward the left side of the line when it splits off into 2 different directions. We did that for three of the four times we rode that ride that night. Te fourth time we went toward the right.

The first time we rode it we ended up in the third row which was fun for me because I am pretty much never in the front section of the ride, we are pretty much always in the middle or back sections of the ride.

The second time we rode the ride the people sorting guests into rows and they ended up needing a part of two which was really conveinent for us because we got to skip slightly ahead in line and ended up getting the second row!

I loved being in the front car multiple times because I really got a good chance to compare ride experiences.

I noticed that the front is slightly faster and it stops slightly for a second before going down hill at the begining of the ride and when exiting both cave scenes.

After the second time we rode that ride we decided to go on it again because let's face it, that ride is so much fun and it was our only chance to ride it that trip so we defintely needed to take advantage of that opportunity!

i don't remember where we sat for the third time we rode that ride but I do know we went toward the left side again. I think it was during this ride when the ride stopped for a minute.

My mom and I just had to laugh because A) we were concerned this would happen before we got to ride it even once and B) this happened to us one time last year and they had to come and lead us through a back stage area to exit the ride. That was actually kind of fun because we got to see what is underneath big thunder mountain, we got great pictures and we got free fastpasses over it!

However, we didn't want that to happen on this particular night because we wanted to ride that ride as many times as humanly possible! Luckily this time around the ride started up again almost as quickly as it had stopped. We exited the ride and then went right back on for our fourth and final ride of the night. This particular time we decided to go on the right side because we just wanted to mix it up a little bit.

While we were waiting down there we heard someone calling our names. We then looked around for who was calling us and saw one of my grade school friends and her mom waving at us. I had gone to school with this girl since kindergarten but since we are in college we now go to different schools and I hadn't seen her in over a year.

She and her mom were just about to be finishing there vacation and ironicly enough were staying at the same resort as we were which was hillarious! We talked to them for a little bit and then our line paths split again and we hopped right on the ride.

This time we were seated right in the middle of the train. It was a great last ride on that ride!

After we finished up on big thunder mountain we decided to og over to fantasy land because we wanted to ride snow white's scary adventure because we weren't sure if that was also going to be closed the next day (I'll give you a little spoiler here: It was still open later in the trip, I think that ride has cried wolf itself and no one is going to believe they are actually going to close it until they really do close it). Anyway, on our way over we went over to a indian chief statue in frontier land right by country bear jamboree.

my brother and his wife both went to the same school and there former mascot happened to be a indian chief (the mascot actually changed while they were in school because of legal issues with said mascot). We took the above picture for them. After taking that picture we saw these in Liberty square and just had to take a couple of pictures here.

Once we got to fantasyland we decided to go on over to snow white's scary adventures. The line was pretty much non existent which worked out great for us! We decided to take advantage of this and take many pictures of the ride whilst we were in line.

Once we "said goodbye" to snow white's scary adventures we went over towards dumbo since this was going to be it's last night open before the closed it down to make way for new dumbo and the ride was practically had no line.

Now, my mom and i aren't dumbo people, the line has always been super crowded and miserable and we never understood the appeal of that ride! however, this was the perfect time, place and atmosphere to say goodbye to that ride in.

We got in line for dumbo a few minutes before 11 so we got a unique site of the cast members taking apart the line poles. I tried to take a picture of this but the picture didn't come out very well.

We happened to be in the second to last group of people to ever ride the old dumbo ride which was kind of emotional and cool at the same time. my mom and i chose a pink dumbo when we got on the ride. We strapped ourselves in and took off on our flying elephants.

While the view was really dark it was still kind of cool to see the magic kingdom in the dark. Even through the darkness we got to see the fantasyland expansion construction which was coming along nicely. we could see what we thought might be the new dumbo tent and the beasts castle.

After we finished on dumbo we decided to take a picture by the dumbo statue by the ride's exit. After we each took our individual pictures we met a nice cast member who took a really cute picture of both my mom and I in the car.

After thanking the cast member for taking our picture we took our time leaving the park. We started out by taking some pictures around fantasyland.

After we finished up in fantasyland we began our walk down main street USA

[Jazzabelle508]

"I'm Walking Right Down The Middle Of Main Street USA"

When We first exited the castle the first thing we noticed was that the walkway onto main street was open so of course that was the route we took.

As we were were walking down main street we took many pictures of and by the castle. Here is the onslaught (sorry for taking/using your word kristen, I just loved it and thought it fit perfectly here) of christmas castle pictures. I really feel the need to warn you that you are about to see many pictures of the castle from many angles.

Once we finished taking all of those pics of the castle we took a break and took a picture by casey of casey's corner. This is one of our every trip pictures. My older brother happens to be named casey so that is why we are particularly in love with this picture spot.

After taking our pic by casey we finshed up the night by taking pictures of the christmas spirit on main street USA.

After we finished taking pics on main street usa we exited the park and went right towards the bus stop. There were a lot of people waiting for a boat so it ended up taking us a couple of boat loads of people before we left.

Once our boat arrived we opted to sit in the inside of the boat because my sore throat from dinner was starting to come back. It never got any worse than it was at dinner which was a good thing!

Once we got to wilderness lodge we went back 2 our car and drove back to POP, got ready for bed, watched stacey and wrote in our trip journals and went 2 bed.

Sounds like a fun night at the Magic Kingdom. That's cool you got to ride BTMRR so many times. I always like the back better than the front-the front seems too slow to me! LOL.

Awesome shots of the castle! So pretty.

 

[IheartDDuck]

Wow, that's awesome being able to get on BTMRR four times in a row. Good way to ring in your first night and the fact that it would be closed for the rest of the trip.

I know exactly which mascot you're referring to. It's how I always associated that school so it's weird that it's different now.

You're so right about Snow White! Every time I think it's going to be closed, it doesn't. It's going to surprise everyone when it happens.

Day 2- January 9th, 2012

A Star Studded Morning

On this particular morning I woke up @ 7:45 in the morning which for me being from a place in the central time zone is more like 6:45 in the morning which initially felt super early to me and then I remembered that I was in disney so after that little reminder to myself I quickly woke up and got in the shower and got ready for the day.

After my shower I just got my stuff for the day together, fixed my hair and makeup and was ready to go.

My mom woke up first so once I was finished getting ready we were both ready to go so we went down to the food court and filled up our mugs with our standard hot chocolate (me) and coffee (my mom). We left our room @ 8:30 am and finished filling our mugs by 8:40 am.

We decided before we left our room that we would wait and get our breakfast in the park.

Once we got in the car and started driving we were at our destination (Disney Studios) in no time. DHS happens to be super close to pop which worked out great for us on that particular day because even though we didn't leave POP until 8:45 am we still got there a little before 9 am.

We got a great parking spot that was in the television section of the parking lot right by the entrance.

Before going into the park my mom and I had some very important buisness to deal with and that buisness was our traditional anteanae topper ceremony!

Basically the antenae topper ceremony is a fancy way of putting our anteanae topper on our car. We took a picture of us putting our anteanae topper onto our car and then walked up to the park entrance. On the way into the park we saw this billboard for POTC 4 which I thought was good but not amazing like the first and second one were. It was way better than the third one in my opinion though. Granted a big part in my opinon of the third one probably comes from the fact I am more of an Orlando Bloom girl than a Johnny Depp girl myself and if you have seen the third POTC movie you would understand how the third one would not sit well with me.

Now is a good time for me to say that the weather on this particular day was AMAZING!!!!!! It was sunny with the perfect mix of blue and clouds in the sky. While our weather back home had actually been pretty nice lately we still we in full appreciation of being able to walk around in shorts and a t-shirt (or in my case a one strap tank top).

Anyway, we went through the security stand that is located before the buses unloading area and that had basically no line so we went through that quickly and happily and we were thrilled about getting through security so quickly and efficiently. once we got through security we went through the actual park entrance pretty quickly as well.

When we got into the park it was a little after 9 so we knew immediately the first 2 things we needed to do were get lockers for our sweatshirts and jackets in case we needed them and we also wanted to get toy story mania FP as soon as possible as well!

So my mom went to get our lockers while I went over to toy story mania and got my mom and I FP for TSM.

On my way over to TSM I took these Pics.

I had managed to avoid the complete chaos that is the first thing in the morning TSM FP line and managed to find a completely empty TSM FP lane.

I met a nice CM who gave me a FP that was for 12:30-1:30. I was surprised how late the FP was for how early it still was during the day.

After getting the FP I went immediately over to starring rolls where my mom and I agreed to meet up and get our breakfast.

I got there first so I found this great table in the sun with a perfect view of guests walking by so we could people watch.

Pretty soon after I got our spot my mom was back from getting the lockers and we discussed what we wanted for breakfast. We both knew we wanted one of there amazing cupcakes (I know that isn't exactly the most healthy of breakfasts but hey were were in disney and how often can u have a starring rolls cupcake right?) but the real question was which one?

My mom and I decided that we wanted to try the red velvet cupcake and split it. We also got a couple of waters as well. While my mom went 2 get the cupcake I looked through camera pictures and updated Facebook.

In no time at all my mom was back and we got right to work on that puppy! We both were big fans of that cupcake! i loved the whole combination of the frosting, toffee bits and cupcake!

We finished up the cupcake and then texted my dad good morning and then discussed where we wanted to go next.

I had heard somebody in passing say that the Rockin Roller Coaster had a 20 min wait which to us seemed like a great wait! We took some pics on our way over there.

We got there and the ride was basically a walk on which was AWESOME!!!! Great disney karma right? For our first ride of the day we even ended up in the 3rd row which I LOVED!!!!!

I tried to pose for the camera but I only partially succeeded because of my bad timing when it comes to ride cameras.

After riding the ride once we looked around the post ride store and saw a couple of things that intrigued our eyes but ultimately we didn't get them.

After we finished up in the gift shop we decided we wanted to go on again since the wait was non exisitent and who knows when it would be like that again.

The second time we went on the ride the wait was a little bit longer but we really didn't mind because it still wasn't as bad as we have normally seen it and we met this cute little girl and her mom in line.

She and her mom were wearing first visit pins and it turned out that it was there first day of the trip as well! We really enjoyed talking about the different rides with her and passing on any knowledge we could possibly think of.

We talked them throughout the line which really helped the line go by quickly as well. I also took a couple of pictures of our view of tower of terror from the line and some pictures inside the line including one of the jonas brothers whom i was VERY big fans of in there hey day.

It is so weird because half the bands up in the rockin roller coaster line are groups that I spent a lot of time listening to back in my junior high days and then other groups are brand new and i know nothing about.

I normally don't view myself as old in any way (i'm only 20 for goodness sake!) but when I babysit and the kids i'm babysitting are telling me about there TV shows they watch and the new kids channel bands they listen to and I have no idea who those groups are then I feel super old.

Anyway, in no time at all we were in the preshow area and then in no time after that we were in line for the ride. At this point we had been seperated from the family we had been talking to in line. This time we were towards the back of the ride and I did another pose for the camera.

After riding the ride a second time we went outside and noticed a bunch of people in yellow with cameras outside Rockin Roller Coaster. Pretty soon after we had gotten outside we noticed they were doing some promotional filming for the parks.

It was at this point when I realized I saw those same camera men on my way over 2 TSM during the begining of the day rush and at the time i just thought they were preparing for some new show that Disney studios was having throughout the day.

We sat there for a little bit and watched them do the filming. There was a long line for people who wanted to talk in whatever it was they were making but I think i did somehow get within the cameras range the first time I saw them @ the begining of the day.

After watching the promotional crew for a little bit we went over to the creepiest hotel @ Disney Studios.

Since I am behind I will post a tag line as to which update I am referring to

First night

Such a great night! I love BTMRR! It is a totally different ride in the dark!

Cute pic of you and your mom in the stationary Dumbo!

Amazing Castle pics! I really don't think you can have too many!

Second day

Cute antennae ceremony!

I loved POTC4 I was really impressed with it because I wasn't a huge fan of the 3rd on either. I hope the 5th one is just as good! I also heard they are adding the mermaids to the start of the POTC ride! I think that would be awesome!

I am so excited to try that cupcake! I have heard so much about it!

Nice pose on RRC!

Sounds like a great start to a DHS day!

That is perfectly ok

Isn't BTMR amazing @ night? I seriously am such a huge fan of Magic Kingdom EMH!

Thanks I'm so glad we took our picture by that dumbo then because it was gone the next time we were there. The guy taking our picture did a great job!

I agree! There really is no such thing as 2 many castle pictures! I think I must have at least 30 different castle pictures from this trip alone.

Thanks I love that feeling of putting the antennae topper ON our car at the begining of a trip! We both felt like we should commemorate that moment of the trip somehow thus the antennae topper ceremony!

I enjoyed it as well! I loved the whole jack and blackbeard storyline. I wasn't so crazy about the mermaid and pirate/explorer storyline they threw in there but the jack sparrow moments more than made up for it!

There making a 5th POTC? That's awesome! I really hope they don't overdo the pirates franchise but another one is exciting! That so fun about the mermaid update as well! Even though I didn't like the mermaid romance I still liked the mermaids themselves. interesting take on the classic mermaid!

It is AMAZING!!!! I highly recommend it! I would suggest splitting it though because it is filling, especially early in the morning.

Thanks This trip i made it my personal mission to find every ride camera and try to make a pose on the ride pics at least once. I wasn't entirely successful but I did manage that goal for the majority of the rides we went on that had cameras.

It was a great start to the day I can't wait to do another update I think I am going to do ti tonight before I get super busy.

wow, those shots of the castle all lit up are BREATHTAKING!! I havn't been to WDW when the decorations were up since 1994!!!!!!!!!!! it's been so long i don't even remember them Thanks so much for sharing!!

Thanks That's sad you haven't seen the castle lights in so long! hopefully you see them soon! No Problem, I love to share them! .

Wow, that's awesome being able to get on BTMRR four times in a row. Good way to ring in your first night and the fact that it would be closed for the rest of the trip.

I know exactly which mascot you're referring to. It's how I always associated that school so it's weird that it's different now.

You're so right about Snow White! Every time I think it's going to be closed, it doesn't. It's going to surprise everyone when it happens.

I know right! I loved being on that ride so many times! Nothing like BTM @ night (said in spongebob voice often on the trip!). I was super sad about it being closed for most of the trip but I am glad I got on it our first night!

yeah, my whole family grew up rooting for that school because my dad went there as well so it feels really weird to go there now and not see that mascot.

Haha yeah I really have no clue what is up with that ride, I know that is going to close @ some point because I keep seeing things about that ride's replacement so it is going to be really weird for me when that ride really does close down!

Sounds like a fun night at the Magic Kingdom. That's cool you got to ride BTMRR so many times. I always like the back better than the front-the front seems too slow to me! LOL.

Awesome shots of the castle! So pretty.

IKR!!!! and it was a really fun night! i have come to the conclusion that I perfer the back as well!

A Star Studded Morning Part 2


After we finished up watching the camera crew outside rockin roller coaster we decided to go on Tower Of Terror.

At this point it was probably around 10 or 10:15 in the morning and we couldn't get another FP untill 10:45. The wait time for this round of tower of terror was about a 20 minute wait total which was really nice! The outside part of the line moved really quickly so we took advantage of one really quick stop to take this pic of me.

The millisecond after we took this pic the line moved again and it kept moving untill we got to the library style room where they tell the story about what happened at the tower of terror in the 1930's. After the movie was over we all loaded into the loading room.

This part of the line wasn't 2 long but we did have 2 wait for a bit before we went onto the ride from this point. While we were waiting here the little boy standing behind us was in the process of freaking out about the ride.

His family, my mom and I, and this group of girls that were around my age in front of us kept trying to help ease the little boy's mind by telling him that this was just a story and nothing was going to happen to him.

We ended up splitting from that group of people because the ride workers happened to call for a group of 2 and we happened to be nearby. That is one of my favorite things about being in a group of 2 because it seems like they call for parties of 2 more than any other number.

We ended up in the middle row near the center of the line. There are seriously no words I could use to help describe how much I love this ride!

After we finished up on that ride we ended up having a few minutes left before we could get another FP. We both agreed that we wanted to get our next FP of the day @ tower of terror. Since it was such a gorgeous day outside we decided to simply hang out by the ride exit and soak up some rays.

While we waited we decided that we were going to go 2 the 4 o'clock beauty and the beast show and the 5:45 american idol show since we really wanted to go and see both of those that day. After we enjoyed the weather for a few minutes we got our tower of terror FP (and we could get a new fastpass an hour after we got the TOT FP) and decided to check out the new star tours ride. On our way over there we found a few photo pass photographers and decided to get some pictures.

After finishing up getting our pictures taken we then headed directly towards the new star tours line. The line moved really quickly so we ended up moving along really quickly which was both a blessing and a curse because that line looked really cool and I really wanted to check it out! My mom and I were both fans of the old star tours ride so we were sad to see the old ride go away but at the same time my brother and his wife (who had their honeymoon @ Disney over christmas) LOVED the ride and spent a lot of their DHS time checking out the different variations of this ride so we knew right away we wanted to check out this ride multiple times that day. Here are some of the pics that we took as we moved through the line.

While my mom and I thought the ride was really cool we weren't getting the hype about this new version. However, we still got our FP for that ride later on. After we finished up on the ride we checked out the store and particularly liked a couple of things in the store.

We finished up in the store and then left empty handed. When we were done in the store we got our FP's and then headed off 2 our lunch with some "family".

Somewhat Real Life Update #1


Hi Everyone!

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, Every time I sit down to write this update I either get distracted or i can't find my trip journal. Normally I wouldn't care if I have the trip journal with me or not but in this particular case it matters to me a lot because it is a great update and I don't want 2 forget something really funny that happened.

Hopefully this can somewhat make up for the total lack of updates; I have started a Food Review for my entire trip. I hope you all come over there as well because as all disney fans (and especially us DISers say)
Gotta Love That Disney Food

I should be back by the weekend at the latest with your latest Update pertaining to this TR.

[PlutosRHM55]

How is it I already get behind on this TR? I am SOOOO sorry, Jenny. But from catching up (caught up already btw), really good so far and you better finish this one or I will hold you to it I was totally shocked at how many rides are going under refurb and/or closing down at this time, I'm so sad, especially when I was at the parks a year ago around this time. Then with One More Disney Day... not okay... well at least you got to ride them one last time. Sorry your meal at Whispering Canyon wasn't as great as past ones, it does look like a really fun place though, may have to make ADRs there next time I go. Well... I can't wait to read more!

"I can't find my mom!"- Lunch in the 50's

So after we finished up on star tours we headed over to our lunch destination which was at...

50'S PRIME TIME This is another family favorite and a must do for my mom and I every time we come to disney! The food is in my opinon some of the best on property and the atmosphere is truly wonderful as well. I love seeing what crazy things happen at this restaraunt!

Anyway, as we were walking over there it looked like it as about to rain (luckily it didn't) so we rushed over to the restaraunt and luckily there wasn't much of a line. My mom checked us in while I went to wash my hands.

When I was washing my hands i made a mental note of the soap color because these servers have been well known to ask you what color the soap is (that happened to my brother as a little kid at whispering canyon and I have seen multiple servers at 50's prime time ask that question as well so i am always prepared to answer that question). by the way, if you are curious what color their soap is at prime time the answer is blue.

When I came out of the bathroom i began to look to see where my mom was and as i did this I took a couple of pictures.

They saw me taking this photo and decided 2 pose, love the result

I looked all over the restaraunt and I couldn't find her so I tried calling her and as I was doing this the servers were calling us (they can be kind of seen in the above pic actually) to let us know our table was ready.

I went over 2 them and told them i was there but i wasn't sure where my mom was. No sooner had I finished saying that I saw my mom coming and then quickly added, "Never mind, she's coming. I think she was just washing her hands.

Once she came over there they started teasing her and scolding her for wandering off (in a nice way of course). It was obvious at this point that this was going to be a hillarious meal.

After that bit of humor courtesy of 50's prime time the older of the 2 men that were just teasing us lead us to our table. They asked us the standard "how's your trip so far?" and "where are you visiting us from" and then we got seated at our table. We were told that our server's name was going to be dorothy and she would be with us shortly.

While we waited for our server we took a couple of pictures from where we were sitting. one of the pictures was of something that reminded us of my grandma (she has these three amazing china collections all made by different craftsmen and we thought this might be another set of one of the ones she has).

Naturally I also took a picture of one of the TV's they have in the restaraunt as well.

In no time at all our server came up to us and introduced herself as aunt dorothy and took our drink orders. my mom got a diet coke and i got a chocolate milkshake.

We also ordered our main meals at this time as well and my mom got the chicken pot pie and I got the fried chicken with green beans instead of southern greens. a funny thing that happened as we were ordering was that our server sat down on the bench next to me and then pulled up a spare chair to put her feet up on as well.

She was really hillarious the entire meal so that was a lot of fun considering we had gotten kind of duddy servers the past couple times we came to 50's prime time before.

While we were waiting for our food a couple of funny things happened. My mom and I were taking some pictures on our phones and our server came up and started scolding both of us for being on our phones and said "There were no such things as cellphones in the 1950's". My mom actually got yelled at twice about that.

Right after she yelled at us about our phones our server brought out our drinks. My mom enjoyed her pop but it was just pop so i won't go into detail about that.

We both shared some of my shake and it was AMAZING!!!!! I love their milkshakes here. They are so creamy and delicious and chocolately! I seriously think these are amazing!!!!

I didn't finish it though because I didn't want to be 2 full to eat my meal (normally i wouldn't care but those of you who have been 2 50's prime time before know that you want 2 finish your food there).

As we were finishing our shakes and waiting for our main meal to come funny thing #2 happened. The younger of the 2 guys who were teasing my mom and I before (btw this guy was fairly good looking 2) We sat down came over to us and said, "i'm so glad you found your mom!". My mom and i just bursted out laughing that they would remember that and that it would come back 2 us!

Not very long after that happened our food came,

Here is what my mom had:

My mom LOVED this! She loves the crust and the vegetables in particular. Although she ended up not quite finishing tis but that was 2 save room for dessert. Luckily for her our server didn't seem to notice this.

And now for what I had:

I LOVED THIS!!!! The chicken is soooo amazing! I ate all of the pieces easily! The green beans were also to die for! I love there green beans at 50's prime time! I polished these off as well. The mashed potatoes were pretty good as well but I was getting super full already and i wanted to save room for dessert as well.

I then remembered that they do tend to spoon feed you if you don't finish something. however, I was getting really full so I then began to do that age old age trick of spreading it around my plate to make it look like I ate more of it than I did. BIG MISTAKE!!! yes, our server did notice and yes she did spoon feed me.

It was really funny and i could barely swallow it because I was laughing so hard. no worries though, i swallowed it with out choking.

Then my mom and i got our viewfinder to look at all of our dessert options. However, we knew what we wanted before getting our viewfinder. so what did we order? well we ordered the...

S'MORE!!!!! My mom and I split and it was a perfect amount for both of us! I seriously LOVE these! They are super delicious!!!! We barely had to wait at all for these which was great as well!

After we polished those off we got our check and were ready 2 go to our next destination
