Hahaha, it felt like it took forever for me to have the telling of the drunk little cucumber.

I look back on it now, and it really was a lot of food and drink. The portion sizes really help to temper the quantities though.

Day 6 - Thursday November 10, 2011

I hate a date. A date with destiny. A date.....with.....some.....toys.

I was up early because of this date. We had breakfast that we needed to eat by 8am sharp. Because I did not want to be late for this date.

Both Chris and I made it out the door when we wanted to and headed to Old Port Royale with the car. We both ordered the same thing for breakfast, the breakfast panini. It was pretty good.

Way too much food though for me at that moment.

Mugs filled, we headed out the door at 8:35am. Remember, I had a date. And I will not miss this for anything. You guys know what I'm talking about. You know what my favorite thing at WDW is.

We drove, parked and made it to the gate in no time. I had no time to think. If you hadn't guessed it, this is where we were.

I used all of my mad dash skills to get me to my destination. I bobbed, I weaved, I jumped. And I finally saw this beautiful destination. Chris was with me. I may have lost him along the way.

Then the debate. To fastpass, or not to fastpass. That is the question.

We said "we don't need no stinkin' fastpass!" Instead, we headed right into the line.

Wait time....not too bad. About 20 minutes.

The beauty of traveling with two people? Is when that lovely CM taking fastpasses and letting people in says "how many?" You say "two". And lovely, beautiful CM says "please go to the right through the gate, and up the stairs." I love it when that happens!

That cuts about 5-7 minutes out of my wait time. Score!

Do you even need to ask who won?

Me...duh. Chris is just an amateur. Granted, an amateur that's in denial and thinks that he can beat me, but no. It's not happening.

And remember, at no time should there be any dancing on the ride!

Although I did break that rule. I won. So I danced...a lot.

After we hung out with the toys, it was off to...

We're all Star Wars geeks in this family, so we just want to see how many different options we can get on the ride.

We're doomed....

I love Patrick Warburton's voice.

I have no idea where this came from....but apparently I'm just a goober.

We got Darth Vader, went to Hoth, and got in a fight with Boba Fett. I was so stoked about Boba Fett. But what I was most stoked about....

Chris was the rebel spy!!!

So we have an enjoyable ride and then as we walk out of the ride, this little girl behind us kept yelling "I found the spy, I found the spy!"

Oh little one. You're supposed to be part of the rebellion, don't rat him out!

Up next: Shop shop!

You guys and your silly faces. You always make me smile. I love Star Tours, but I need a dramamine before riding it

Yeah, us kids got it as a double whammy, because both my mom and my dad make ridiculous faces.

 

[marDgreen88]

Oh my gosh, that is exactly what I was talking about on your other TR!!! You got the higher score AND the better accuracy! Haha, Chris just failed on that one. And I only say that because I would have lost as well hahah.

HAHAHA. You look like you could BE in Star Wars in that picture. So funny.

REBEL SPIES ARE AWESOME BY NATURE. It's in our DNA. Maybe we don't win on TSM... but gosh darnit, we're the rebel spies. It cancels it out... right? (Please? )

 

[teekathepony]

Great, fun update! I adore TSM's queue, it's so awesome. When DH and I go we always get pulled ahead of big families too I just love hearing "Party of 2?" being shouted somewhere close!
Too funny that Chris was the rebel spy!

Hahaha, I actually thought about what you had said on my other TR, so when I pulled up the picture and saw my accuracy, I was like "really?! That was some good accuracy!"

I guess I can let you guys by with being the Rebel Spies. Even though I was really hoping that I would be the rebel spy. I don't think it's in the cards for me. But, at least I always win on TSM.

I love the party of 2 thing! It makes things go by so much faster. I tend to have good luck at TSM with that too.

 

[Leshaface]

So jealous that your DB was the rebel spy! We've been on Star Tours many times since it has changed, and sometimes with large parties, and STILL no one I know has been the rebel spy. Jelly.

I'm not gonna lie, I was completely jealous too. I wanted to be the rebel spy too. On our trip last July, I really wanted my nephew to be the rebel spy, because I thought that would just be hysterical.

Great update! I can't wait to give the mad dash a real try in 11 DAYS! (Sorry, really excited that my trip is coming up so soon! ) Maybe I'll just do what you guys did and skip the FP's all together, looks like a good plan! Do they still sometimes let parties of 2 through quicker? That would be awesome!

Your score on TSM is so amazing! I can't get higher than 130,000. Got any tips?

I love Star Tours, I'm a huge Star Wars dork too...I would have loved to see the Boba Fett one! I hope I'm not the rebel spy again, though, that was embarrassing!

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Yay for not-too-long a wait for TSM! Too funny that Chris was the Rebel Spy!

 

[LilAnn]

Isn't it ridiculous how the FP line for TSMM is so crazy? I can usually catch up to my hubby (the designated runner) even though i am walking a tad slower pushing the stroller, park it and still end up waiting a few minutes at the stand by entrance before he makes it there with the FPs in hand.

I don't now if the new FP rule enforcement is going to change how we tour. just makes the dash in the morning all the more important I guess.

I can't wait to try out the new Star Tours (next week!) and hope someone is our group is the rebel spy!

I recommend getting to DHS right at open. When everyone dashes to TSM, do not get in line for FPs, unless you see that the line doesn't really develop. Trust me, you are much better served by just spending (at the most) a 1/2 hour in line. They do let parties of two through quicker sometimes. When you get to the area and grab glasses, the CM will periodically ask how many are in your group. If you're two, you may be let up the stairs to the right of everyone else. This has not happened to me every time, but most of the time it does.

Tips on TSM are: google Toy Story Mania Easter Eggs. It describes in detail all of the ways you can unlock additional points. It really helps. My goal next time is to unlock all of the easter eggs.

I'm a huge Star Wars dork too, but in no way would I be embarrassed to be the Rebel Spy. I would just be like "yup, word up, that's me!"

It's always a bonus when the line is short.

I know, it's always insane. I wonder when the fervor will die down, because it's been open almost three years and people are still crazy about it.

I never really went out of the FP window very often, so for me, I don't think it will affect our plans. But if you're used to doing that, I'm sure it's going to put a damper on things.

I will cross my fingers that someone in your group will be the Rebel Spy. It will be awesome.

Okay, I'm soooooooo sorry I haven't been commenting on this TR lately... again lol But I'm commenting now so I hope that's okay Right? Right? RIGHT?! *runs and hides*

Well, either way, I know when a chapter that says a date with destiny is the same as a date with some toys, I know it's good. to your TSM dash and skipping the FP! You definitely don't need those stinkin' FPs haha And you triumph once again I see, good job there BUT NO DANCING ON THE RIDE!

again to riding Star Tours and that's so cool that Chris was the Rebel Spy! You should've bought the T-Shirt, rat him out you know. The little ones shouldn't have all the fun

Can't wait to read more!

 

[Dugette]

I guess I was a little behind on this one! Just got caught up on the last few updates.

Sounds like a great morning at Magic Kingdom!

Glad Chris' headache went away before F&W. You guys really covered a lot of booths at once! I pretty much agree with your reviews. Also, I was really glad we made it in time to get the 2 snack credits with our free dining plan...perfect for F&W!

Love the drunk little cucumbers!

Very cool that Chris got to be the rebel spy!

That's okay, we all have moments when we miss things. No worries.

That is always my date with the toys! Toys and a date mean only one thing.

I should have bought him the shirt, I'm not gonna lie, I was soooo tempted to. But we never got around to it.
