Quick trip report from yesterday (I plan on posting a more detailed comprehensive report covering my day trips from weekends 1, 3, and 4, and full trip over weekend 2 in the SWW trip report thread)
I arrived to DHS around 8:45am. This was actually a challenge as I wanted to miss the initial opening rush but I am so use to being at parks prior to rope drop. I was actually at home trying to find things to keep me occupied at 6am so that I wouldn't arrive right when the park opened. After I arrived I did a little shopping and rode Tower of Terror. I rode next to someone who was on it for the first time - this is my favorite way to ride since since they don't know what is coming next. Most I've ridden next to assume the ride just goes up and down, always fun when we start going forward.
After this I got a notice that RnRC was down during my FP time. If anyone can tell me why when RnRC, a tier 1, goes down the alternative options area all tier 2, but when Star Tours, a tier 2, goes down alternative options include two tier 1 options, I'd love to hear it. I understand not putting Toy Story as a replacement, but you should at least be able to select Great Movie Ride to replace RnRC before you could do so with ST. I have spoken to Guest Relations about this in the past - just sharing my thoughts on it so they were known - and was told "honestly, it doesn't matter what you think or the feedback you give, nothing is going to change." I was a little more than surprised since Disney has always accepted my feedback, both positive and constructive. Even if they've ended up throwing it away they always were willing to listen.
I walked over to Epcot for lunch and did a few rides before meeting up with
@yulilin3 and her family for the Rebels show. I also realized after I had left that I never wished your son a happy birthday. Please share my happy birthday wishes with him. I had a really good time talking with you and your family again.
After the show I rushed over to Toy Story and then rushed back for the SoTS show. I ended up sitting across the isle from
@Gianfootography and had a nice chat. I recognized him from his picture. He was keeping me up to date on all the happenings with the autograph FPs from that morning.
After this show it was time for RnRC and then back in line for VttM. I loved this show! I didn't know what to expect but I think it was my favorite of all the shows I've seen so far. It was so funny and so cute watching the kids learn the routine.
I then waited about 20 minutes for Characterpalooza and met the Evil Queen, Pocahontas, Pluto, Tiana, and Mulan. I was done is less than 5 minutes and there were only a handful of other people there.
Then it was time to start my long drive home.

But the good news is that my finance and I are moving so we will only be about 1.5 hours away from Disney instead of the 2.5 hours away we are right now!
