Ok, I realize that I didn't write a lot about the JTA in my last post. The show was really funny and if you have an opportunity to do it, I'd say it's worth it to sign your kids up. Michael had a really great time and I was able to get all the pics of him that were taken by PP downloaded into my account. Here are some amateur pics we took:
Padawans ready to take on the Dark Lord:
I'll kick your butt!!
Michael goes for Vader's head!!
Don't forget to click on the link to the video! It was a great show and you can see how well my little DS did fighting Vader.
So after the show is over, we saw the line to have our pictures taken with the Storm Troopers and Vader..
and then we took our shortcut down the Streets of America, back over to
Pixar Place to get our carnival game on!!
I love TSM! I think it's so much fun and made sure "Santa" got the kids the game for the Wii when it came out. I play it more than they do.
I think I rode with DS this time around and beat his score, but didn't beat DH's
. I really don't know where this competitive streak comes from.
After TSM, we did the Studio Backlot Tour which I haven't done since I was a teenager. Everytime we came to Disney we would forget to to it but since this was going to be a slow, "do what you can do" day, we decided to go for it. It was pretty much what I remembered but I don't remember walking through the warehouse with the props. Is that new?
Here's me killing my little Snugglebug with kisses..
The disaster shot:
After the tour, we opted to do the Lights, Motors, Action show. The kids and I have never seen this one and we liked it, but it was cold in the stadium!
Since Muppets 3-D was a stone's throw away, we went in. While we were waiting, I saw a baby with a crocheted Mike Wasowski hat and I sooooo want one. I've been looking for a pattern, but can't find one.
After the intro (you know the one where they say move all the way down your row), we get into the theater....and have to climb over some idiots that didn't want to move down to the end
. They need the CM's to carry cow-prods for people like this. Really? How hard is it to wait and if you really want a seat in the middle just hang back a little and follow a big group in? Unless of course, they don't move down to the end either.
Okay, self-righteous rant over.
Although I was checking my Lines app on my phone and it said the TSM FP's were gone for the day, we figured we'd just check and started walking back into Pixar Place. I was trying to find Mike W and Sully and asked a CM who said "right there". Now right there is kind of tricky. If you're looking for Mike and Sully, they're tucked BEHIND a gift shop so I think it's a little hard to find.
Sully wasn't out but we got on line to take a picture with Mike. He liked DH's bald head:
and my hat:
After taking pictures we headed back into Pixar Place but Toy Story Mania had a crazy wait time and the FP's were definitely gone for the day. We decided to take some pictures with Woody because Buzz was out saving the universe or something like that.
I'm sure DH would love to really strap me to a rocket and send me into outer space.
I LOVE DH's shirt here. It's like the Hangover Baby shirt, just with Elmo.
Don't ask what happened to his head.
Stinky Pete made a stinky and they couldn't breathe.
By this point we were good and hungry so we headed over to ABC Commissary. The food there is okay. I had the bacon cheeseburger with the fried shrimp on top and that was really good but I remember getting some sort of potato salad on the side (it was yucky) and a fruit cup for dessert and it had mold in it
. I couldn't finish the whole burger. The shrimp was like an appetizer and the burger was big.
After lunch, we headed back to Sunset Blvd. I walked into the Starring Rolls cafe figuring now was a good time to get that red velvet cupcake and I didn't see any in the glass case. I asked a CM who said they were at the Sweet Spells shop next door. I went in, waited on a ridiculously long line to find out they didn't look as appetizing as the ones from that morning. Seriously, they were ugly and didn't look like a red velvet cupcake so I declined.
We looked at our times schedule and saw that Beauty and the Beast was about to start to we walked in. Again, this was another show the kids and I hadn't seen so I was excited. I loved it. It was such a great show.
After the show, we took potty breaks and , picked up our Snuggies and blankets from the lockers up front and went on a hunt for Lotso. While we were there, we found Mrs. Incredible and Frozone. Hmmm? What's going on there? We all know Mrs. Incredible has a big 'ole butt and Mr. Incredible was no where to be found. Hope he never finds out....
Right after Mrs. I & Frozone, we walked down to find Lotso. It really is funny how they pump strawberry smell into the room. I walked over to Lotso thinking the smell was coming from him, but his fur smelled like acrylic, LOL. He must have thought I was really weird.
Next up - Part 14 - Day 4, Part 3 - Fantasmic and a late dinner.
Right after breakfast, we started walking back to Star Tours to watch Michael in the show. We had to go to the area to the left of the sign-up line and show Michael's ticket. DD Bobbi was with me this time so they asked if she wanted to join and she said no. After waiting around for a few minutes, the CM said they still needed one more person so DD asked if she could do it and the CM said no because she declined the last time. 
He was a little pissy about it and I just brushed it off and told her we'd do it next time.

I would love to see that
. They asked if I wanted anything else but I backed away and said no thanks! 
It really wasn't that bad though. People were pretty quick to follow instructions, I think it was more the CM's yelling at them that got them to move.
