Now this sounds like a much more enjoyable and stress free time!! How fun to be able to see your friend perform in Fantasmic! I have a CM friend who has had many roles, but my favorite is to see him perform in the Candlelight Processional. Hoping to catch him at least once on our Christmas trip.

Watching friends perform is so wonderful! I hope you get in to see your friend in Candlelight. One of my former students who is down there auditioned for the choir but I haven't heard from her about when she might be performing.

I'm happy to hear dinner and your evening in DHS was a nice, relaxing time. I admit, I also "wheee" on the spinning parts of TSMM, too.
How sweet your former student thought she saw you, and you KNEW that's what she was thinking. The thought definitely counts, though!

Upcoming Trip Update
​

Just wanted to drop by with a couple of updates for the Thanksgiving trip. (I promise to find time to finish this report this week before I leave!!!)

Saturday was FP$$ day. I started with Thanksgiving Day since I figured that would be the hardest. And, that turned out to be the easiest. Sunday was actually the hardest and I ended up just not buying multi-pass for that day. But here is what I ended up with:
Sunday - nothing (MK day) But Beak and Barrel at 11:55. I was super excited about this but after some reviews, I'm not sure. Oh well, everything is worth trying once. Given the state of my knees these days, I plan to ask for a seat there and I'm fine waiting if needed.
Monday - (Studios) 10:25-11:25 Tower of Terror; 1:55-2:55 Toy Story Midway Mania; 5:15-6:15 Slinky Dog. I also have Hollywood and Vine at 2:55pm for Fantasmic Dining so I am pretty set for that day. Just hope to try to get a Mickey and Minnie's Railroad after Tower but I can always stand in that line. I know Studios closes early this day for Jollywood.
Tuesday - MVMCP - nothing
Wednesday - (Animal Kingdom to start) 8:00-9:00 Dinosaur; 9:00-10:00 Everest; 10:00-11:00 Safari. I hope to grab a Lion King after Dinosaur. Then, after time at the pool that afternoon, I'm heading into Epcot for dinner and I grab a fancy ride for Guardians at 6:40-7:40pm. (Plus a grand mariner slushie at some point LOL).
Thursday - (MK - yes again!) 8:00-9:00 Pirates; 9:00-10:00 Haunted Mansion; 10:00-11:00 Space Mountain. I'm hoping to grab anything really after scanning in. I still have not done Tiana but I also don't want to get wet so.... I have dining at Crystal Palace at 1:15 and hoping Caroline (DisneyAndi14) can join!!
Friday - (Epcot) the focus was going to be Festival of the Holidays but...I also did both FP$$ and fancy ride. 9:10-10:10 Guardians; 10:10-11:10 - Soarin'; 11:10-12:10 - Living with the Land; 12:10-1:10 Ratatouille.

Then, I got super exciting news. I reached out to an old friend/former intern who is now an SM for Cirque Drawn to Life, because I haven't seen him the last couple of trips. He said "Hey - do you want to see the show??" Umm...YES PLEASE!! Then he said "If you come to the late show on Thursday, I can also do a backstage tour if you are interested." Umm...YES PLEASE!!! So, I get to see Cirque and get a backstage tour on Thanksgiving. I'm so excited!!!
