On Day 5 we woke up early so that we could meet up with Jordan, Rosie, & Cherie/Djay at DHS!! We were there for rope drop and it was COLD that morning. We met up with Jordan and Rosie in line at the turnstyle. Once through, I quickly grabbed a stroller and we all ended up on the main street together waiting for the rope drop show to start. Suddenly, there was a voice behind me asking if we were from the Dis and if we were Blueyed Girl & Jordan, Winkers, & Rosie! We all turned around slightly stunned and met fellow Diser "MyTalula"!!!! She told me she recognized me from my "dancing Pictures" on Jordan's pre-trip report.

I looked at my DH and he just shook his head at me and said something to the effect of "uh-hu!! ya see!!"

AH, WHATEVER!! I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little shocked that after all this time on the Dis I was recognized because of those photo's!

If you weren't on Jordan's PTR during the dance photo craze, here is the link to my dance pic contribution.....

Anyhoo, we had a good time visiting with her and took a few pictures but for some reason NONE of them were with MY camera! Bummer! When the rope dropped we all stuck together and did the fast walk through the crowd to get to Toy Story Mania! Jordan and I got the fastpasses and then we met up with the rest of the group in the stand-by line. Here are a few pictures from our time in line and the ride....
My score....
After our ride, the group decided to see what the standby line was like at RockNRollercoaster! Along the way, we met up with Wendy,Derek and the kids. About that time Chip & Dale came out for pics & autographs! The kids ran over to get a pic taken with them. They had such a good time together! Next time maybe we will all be there when it's warmer and the kiddo's can all play together at the pool or something. I just can't stress how much fun it was to be there the same time as other people you know. Even if you don't spend every moment together, it's nice to have someone to meet up with from time to time and share in the fun!
The line at RNRC was not long at all. Jordan, Cherie(winkers) and I rode together and then DH rode with DJay, I think?? Or maybe Jordan rode a 2nd time. I can't remember. Here is mine, Jordan, & Cherie's picture from RNRC...... (i'm posting this one larger since I had rednecked it...)
How's that for excitement???!!!!

We had a blast. The anticipation of the take off always makes me nervous but once it takes off, I LOVE THIS COASTER!!!
After RNRC, we all had a conversation about my fear of riding Tower of Terror. Cherie had been calling me out on it since our PTR's. I told myself to be brave and I told them I would ride it for the first time EVER with them. DH laughed because he knows how terrified I am of drops like that. So, DH and Jordan stayed with the kids, while myself, Cherie, DJay, Wendy, Derek, Kim & Alan rode ToT. I snapped a few pics from the line but I've got to tell you, I was so nervous, I don't even remember doing it. I'm shocked that they came out clear enough to see.
one of the CM's little stations...
Ok so we weren't in line a terribly long time but long enough to have a couple of conversations and I think Derek took some pictures but I can't remember anything we said because I was so nervous! The only thing I do remember is that Kim said she wasn't fond of this ride either and that she was scared too! So, finally it is our turn. We get in and I'm all the way on the right side in the very front. I have a handle on the wall next to me and one on the seat between me and Cherie. As I tried to wrap my hands around the handles as tight as I could, I think I remember telling Cherie something along the lines of "I'm not trying to grab your butt, I'm trying to HOLD ON!!"

I will tell you here that this may very well ALL be on VIDEO!!!! Cherie had her camera set to video and pointed it at me the entire time of the ride.

How she held her composure to do such a thing is beyond me. We were DROPPING and being SUCKED BACK UP by odd forces.

Let me just say that I am SUPER PROUD of myself for riding this but will probably not be doing it again. During all the ups and downs there was one part when I was screaming my head off and I felt something FLY IN MY MOUTH!!!

I start spittin' and sputterin' and yell out....."AAAHHH, SOMETHING JUST FLEW IN MY MOUTH!!!!" We were in pitch darkness. I think I recall everyone laughing at me. Just then....we were sucked back up toward the top and the door opens to let in the sunlight. That's when I noticed the strings from my hoodie jacket hovering right in front of my face.....THANK GOD!! That's what flew in my mouth.

Eventually the "FUN" was over and me and my wobbly knees exited the ride and purchased THIS picture......
Ok, ok.... laugh all you want! For the record, I was scared as hell but I WAS NOT crying. I just look like I am.



Seriously, it really wasn't THAT bad. Just not really my cup of tea.
After my ride, it was DH and Jordan's turn. Winkers decided to take another ride along with them. This was their photo.....
They tried to gang up and pretend like this ride was no big deal by looking bored on the ride. That HAD to be hard to do. I mean...COME ON!!!
Up next.......lunch at 50's primetime and a bad reaction!
