Hi everyone! Thank you all for staying with me through this TR. I know Im not the fastest with updates but I have been trying for getting one at least every week to 10 days! In an case, I really appreciate all who have stayed around, tuned in for the next update!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When wed last left off, wed just ridden RnRC which we found out was Sams first rollercoaster ever and she loved it! Joe was being wimpy and didnt ride. Would he later? Youll have to wait to see! There wasnt anything specific on the agenda yet so we took a few pictures and then headed back down Sunset Blvd.
Up Sunset Blvd. we went, stopping to check out some things until we made it to Villains in Vogue!
ViV usually has a fairly good selection of Vinylmations so Chris and I have made it a tradition of sorts to make sure we always stop in here
and we always end up buying something too, usually vinyls! For those of you who dont really know Chris and I or havent read any of my TRs before, we never really did get into the whole pin collecting/trading phenomenon. However, on I believe our second trip together, we got sucked right into Vinylmations. Currently, all of ours are packed away for when he and I move out and into our own place. But weve already began planning how well display them and all. Id say we probably have about 40 which really isnt very many! Anyway, we walked into ViV to see this
Vinyls galore as always!! We ended up buying 3 new ones including these Zodiac ones that Im pretty sure were new to the parks!
Chris, Sagittarius
Me, Leo
I cant remember what the other one we bought was! Isnt this teapot so cute? We didnt get this though.
I picked out some Mickey cookie cutters, we paid, using our AP discount for the first time in a store, had the merchandise sent back to Pop and went to meet up with Joe and Sam whod wandered off.
Joe and Sam were sitting, looking bored near Starring Rolls so we started walking towards the Great Movie Ride since our TSM FPs werent good yet. As soon as we walk in front of the Hat, Chris and I spot some streetmosphere actors, yay!! We loveeeeeeeeee the streetmosphere actors! The group of people was growing in front of them so Chris and I joined. Joe and Sam didnt want to watch so they wandered off again. Soon, the actors began setting up for a trivia show! The cop was going to face off against a guest in a trivia contest. In order to pick a guest, they asked a question and then the first guest that knew the answer had to walk up to the little table they had set up and hit the bell and then say their answer. Im totally not shy and knew I had a decent wealth of Disney knowledge so I was raring to go! So, they ask the question
What was Walt Disneys first animated film? I knew the answer!! I start speedwalking to the table to hit the bell and I realize no one else is even approaching the table! I hit the bell and answer Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and I was right! I was now a part of the trivia show!
Apparently I put my camera in my purse before I walked up to answer the question because there are none of me playing the contest lol Chris took some on his phone though because he was loving me being up there, cheering me on from the sidelines. So, they ask one question in the contest, I ding right in and get it right. I cant remember that question. Then they ask something about Fantasia and what the Sorcerers name was I think? The answer was Yensid, Disney backwards but the cop got that one right. Then the final question
What lifted the house in the movie UP? Quicker than me, the cop dings in and says BALLOONS! and Im like darn, I lost. To my surprise, the host says, INCORRECT! At that point, another actor leans over to me and whispers in my ear, helium lol So they ask me, I get it right and I win! It was so much fun and this, my dear friends, is one of the infinite number of reasons I love Disney more than I can put into words. For winning, I was given 4 FPs for the Tower of Terror! So fun!!!
After my 5 mins of fame, I text Sam and Joe to see where they are. Once again, we meet up and they had gone off and met Minnie! At least theyd done something instead of just sitting there waiting for us this time. Anyway, they were excited Id won ToT FPs. We all decide now to head over to our original destination, the Great Movie Ride! Sam was intrigued by all the handprints in front of the theater.
I was only 1 ½ when Minnie made these prints lol
Just turned 2 for these, lol
No line for this ride as usual
When we got to the front of the line I asked for us to ride the Western cowboy side
in all our trips Ive always been on the gangster side! Without a problem, they moved us right into a car for the cowboy side, yay! I took some pictures throughout the ride but since youre moving the whole time and in low lighting, they never come out well.
My favorite scene
