My sister's going to be a CM-I gotta go visit her! TR LINK UP! p. 21

ONE WEEK!!! :banana::woohoo::yay:

Tower of Terror at Halloween time is so fitting!

I need a loop around Epcot on the monorail, like, right now please :goodvibes:laughing:
 
Part of the thing that is so great about this ride is all of the great theming and the whole set up before the drop: the library, going into the boiler room, and then all the cool visual effects. It's also pretty fitting since we'll be there around Halloween, haha. Hard to believe I used to be afraid of this ride, huh? :)

Love Tower of Terror, but I still get a little uneasy in the last scene before the drop. I don't know what it is but it creeps me out! As a kid I would do the normal kid thing and complain about waiting in line, but my dad told me something that has stuck with me. "Disney knows how to stage, they stage the queues perfectly. Stop complaining and enjoy the scenery." Now I don't like being rushed by pushy people behind me, I like to enjoy the staging :)

I agree with every word of this. How cool to ride it so close to Halloween.
 
Wow, your trip is getting closer and closer! :thumbsup2

I wish they would do something with ToT for Halloween, decorate it, or have some kind of event or something, there are almost no Halloween decorations in DHS at all, and you have this great, spooky ride right there that they could do so much with! :thumbsup2
 

Ya it was all dressed up like the nightmare before christmas and it was so good. I think they start dressing up the HH mid to late september

I'm not a fan of Nightmare Before Christmas (I've never seen it...) but it was cool seeing the HM decorated.

ONE WEEK!!! :banana::woohoo::yay:

LOL, a monorail ride does sound good right about now!

I sort of get a little nervous before the drop but it's more an excited nervous now. The drop is so fun!

It will be pretty cool. :)

Only a week to go, yippee! :dance3:
 
HAPPY FRIDAY everyone!!!

I can't believe we've only got ONE WEEK left! :cloud9: I've been looking at old pictures and watching some of my videos which is probably not a good thing because it's making me even more anxious to go. haha

To add to the excitement, how about another countdown picture?

Only 7 days until...

:rolleyes1

Yes, it is true. If you've read my other TRs I know I've mentioned getting freaked out on this ride. But not freaked out enough to skip it completely because it's sort of fun getting scared. :laughing: Really, it's mostly the ending, where I always seem to scream and cover my eyes when that big dino pops out. :scared1: It may just be me and Dad riding though-my mom hates it and let's just say Emma had a not-so-good experience there a couple weeks ago and told us she doesn't want to ride. We'll see if she changes her mind.

Have a good weekend! Maybe this time next week I'll be updating LIVE from Disney World (I have to decide if I want to bother dragging my computer along for 2 days)!

If I didn't know what Emma's "not-so-good experience" was, I would think from reading this that she got sick on the ride. We should make it clear that it WASN'T that.
 
OMG Dinosaur...I am EXACTLY like you on there...I freak out but I still get at least one ride in every trip :laughing: I try and keep my eyes open but it just doesn't happen!!

I hope your sister isn't scarred for life from Dinosaur! :eek::laughing:
 
I love that Dinosaur ride!!! I scream so loud with that last dinosaur at the end! It is fantastic! Of course I scream in ToT also, but so enjoy that ride. It's a very rare ride at Disney that I don't like. There's only one that I can't stand so much I won't go on again.

Hooray for the trip being so close! :cool1:

Yes, OK...for the record she did not get sick!

LOL, I have gotten better-the first time I rode I was so terrified I don't think I saw anything! :scared1:

Yeah, I'm sure she'll get over it but she was pretty upset after what happened.

One Week!:woohoo:
I love a good scare, so someday I'm going to give Dinosaur a whirl!

Yes, you must!

How exciting for you Sarah, less than one week to go!

I know, I can't wait! And it looks like you have another trip coming up too. :thumbsup2

hahaha, me too. It's so freaky! :eek::scared1::eek::scared1: It's just an intense ride. I am with you-there aren't many rides that I won't do at all.
 
I've reached the point with my ticker where it starts to say "Only x amount of days" until my trip (I think I've been saying it for a while now...:rolleyes1). YAY!!! You know you're getting close when you start looking at the weather forecasts and crowd calendars. It sounds like the weather should be pretty nice. Let's hope so, because I definitely do not want a repeat of all the rain we had in March, especially since we're only going to be there a couple days.

So, to continue with the countdown, only 6 more days until...

Thunder Mountain is one of my all-time favorite rides and this is probably one of my favorite Disney parks quotes. Gotta love that safety spiel. :thumbsup2

I was also thinking about how I want to go see my sister's apartment but I don't know how that would work since we won't have a car and I'm sure you can't take guests on a CM bus. I might have to talk to Emma and have her recruit one of her roommates to come pick us up from the parks! I am so curious about the place where she's been living for the past couple of months. :scratchin:scratchin
 
Less than a week! Wow, so exciting! Love BTMRR :goodvibes Hopefully the weather will stay nice while you're there and the crowds are at a good level too :thumbsup2

I'm not afraid of the ride, it is all the jerking around the vehicle does.

I know where the CM hiring office is-across from DTD, but where are the apartments? I know the international students used to be housed in the Tree House Villa's, so I am guessing the apartments are on Disney Grounds.

You are correct, unless you have an employee ID, you cannot take the CM bus. It'll probably take a car to get you there, and you'll have to "check in" at their gate. The apartments are in a gated community and they don't let anyone in without a photo ID. That's in fact one of the big things they threaten the kids with. Apparently it's very common to sneak people in by stuffing them in trunks :confused3 If they do that, they're instantly kicked out of the program. So start recruiting kids for a car ride now! If you're absolutely stretched, let me know and maybe I can get Matt to swing by and pick you up. :hug:
 
5 days to go for you!!!!

You're right, you can't take the CM bus. They are super strict on even getting on the bus. I think you have to show your housing ID, CM ID, and photo ID I belive? Crazy right??
 
You're down to counting on one hand! :hyper: :laughing: I could give or take Dinosaur (the jerkiness of it gets me hurtin' but in the end I usually have still enjoyed it :rotfl:) but I love BTMRR! Especially at night!
 
:woohoo: on being at 5 days!!!! :yay:

Lol Dinosaur terrified me at first but I have to agree in that it is totally worth it.
