OK....where were we??
Oh right...on our way to try and catch the 4:00 show of Beauty and the Beast! Our FP window for RnRC wasnt quite open yet, so we decided we had time to catch this show. First though, we ran over to ToT and grabbed FPs for later. Cant leave DHS without another ride!!
After securing FPs, we made our way into the B&B theater. The last time we saw this show, we were way up top and in the sun. This time we got better seats...off to the side, but at least shaded and a little closer to the stage. Just a little vent...I know that youre supposed to slide over as far as possible, and I have no problem with that. BUT...why does the tallest person in the group have to sit in front of the shortest person in my family?? I always try to look behind us and be sure Jeff or I are not sitting right in front of a little one. I wish others were as thoughtful...vent over!
For some reason, the lighting in this theater always makes my pictures come out looking pink-ish. Odd...but here they are!
Ahhh...the happy ending!
With Belle and the Beast off to their happily ever after it was finally time for us to be off to our 0-60 in 2 seconds ride on Rock-n-RollerCoaster! I SO love this ride!
On our last trip in 2007, Jonah did not meet the height requirement so Jeff and I had to do the ol baby swap. This year...we can all ride together!! Woo-Hoo!! We had been waiting since NOON at this point and it was almost 4:30. We happily fight the crowd that seems to congregate at this end of the park and make our way, FPs in hand, to the turnstiles.
WHAT??????? The ride is closed down temporarily?? Are you kidding?? The nice CM said he had no idea when the ride would re-open, but we decided to take our chances and hang out for a few minutes. Lucky for us, because the ride opened quickly! The stand-by line said 90 minutes when it re-opened and we asked the CM if that was accurate..he said NO, so we decided to hop in line there instead of using the FPs. Woo-Hoo....another ride later!!
It wasnt long before we were in the cool of the back alley and getting ready to board our limo. Jonah was so excited! After safely securing all loose objects we put the pedal to the metal and we were OFF! Man...that take-off always makes my eyes water!
AWESOME!!
Jonah loved his first ride...I think this is the first upside-down coaster he ever rode! Hes a boy after my own heart!
As we exited the ride, we all gathered our belongings..........or so we thought. As we got off, Isaiah was frantically searching for something. We asked what it was and he said....duh-duh-duh.....
Wheres my cell phone?
(Are you kidding me right now?? )
So I say...well, where did you put it?
Isaiah, in my hat then in the pocket where they told me to put my stuff, but its not in my hat
Me, Isaiah, you know that roller coaster goes upside down, right? Your phone is probably gone.
Jeff, lets ask the CM....well see if they can look in the mesh pocket.
Me, OK...I guess it cant hurt.
So, once again, we did NOT exit the ride area, but asked the CM if she could possibly check the car we were in for Isaiahs phone. After asking which car we rode in and what the phone looked like, she was off on her mission. Im sure they HATE people like us. UGH! I knew the phone was gone. It had fallen out of the hat when he tried to put it in the pocket, it rolled around the bottom of the car until we went upside down, and then it fell out. I just knew it.
But wait...here comes the CM with....WHAT???....Isaiahs cell phone in her hand!! You have got to be kidding me. I cannot believe that we have lost Jeffs wallet twice, our KTTW card twice, and NOW Isaiahs cell phone....and no MAJOR incidents. WOW. WE are blessed people!
(Happy ending #2!)
Now that we can all breathe again, we talk to Isaiah about WHY this happened. His phone is normally in his pocket. When he gets on the rides, he takes it out and puts it in his hat and stows it in the mesh pocket provided. We had to explain to him, that his pocket is a much safer place for his phone than the mesh pocket and to PLEASE leave it in there from now on. Ok....moving on!
Before we leave, Jonah stops in the gift shop to purchase a set of Aerosmith drumsticks. No, he doesnt play the drums, but he DOES drum his hands on EVERYTHING in sight. (He keeps asking for drum lessons, and so far I have been able to put him off!) I knew these were a fantastic souvenir for him and he would use them all the time...not to mention it would be a great reminder of his first ride!
Here are my Rock and Roll boys outside of RnRC!
Due to the delay BEFORE we could ride and the delay AFTER we rode, our FPs for ToT were now good, so we jumped over there and took our second ride of the day. That ride
NEVER gets old! I LOVE IT!
Its been a long, hot, crowded, tiring day so far and we are getting hungry! We also still have FPs for TSM, so it is unanimously decided that we should head over to TSM and then to Pizza Planet for some dinner. But first, we need to make a decision about which Fantasmic! show we want to see. We found out when we got to DHS that a second show had been added and we just wanted to play the day out and see how we felt before making a decision. After some discussion, Jeff and I agreed that we should see the early show at 8:30 then head back to POR for some pool time before bed. We could push it and stay for the late show, but then we are all exhausted and have no night swimming time... which the boys love. Tomorrow we are headed to Epcot for evening EMH so it was a wise idea to make tonight a fairly early one. We wanted to be sure to be in line for the 8:30 show around 7:30. Good....decision made!
We passed under this heading to our second TSM ride of the day.
Of course, TSM was AWESOME again! I still stink at it, but its so much fun!
Its now approximately 6:00 and we are all ready to fill our bellies......Pizza Planet here we come!
Up Next....the update Jeff has been dreading!
Hot day + crowded park + tired family = stressed out Jeff.
Stressed out Jeff + vacation = unhappy Missy....You can all do the math!
you know what is for food...do I have clean towels... can u make another pitcher of kool-aid...
! I've bumped into you on other reports as well..thanks for stopping over!
