I'm here !
I couldn't agree more about photobucket.. darn thing is so complicated esp. with sizing pictures!!
YES the Test Track should be longer.. its so funny WAYYY back when I first went on the ride when it opened you know how they chose the "course" in which the car goes.. I believe its TEST COURSE B.. well to the right of the car when it goes up in the beginning of the ride.. there was a COUSE A... I thought..
that there was another version of the ride and there were 2 different courses(both leading to the track outside of course)!
you know.. like how theres 2 versions of the 'Great Movie Ride' and how you can go into 2 entrances at the "Pirates of the Carribean". haha.. yup.. I thought it had the same thought concept..
haha that's funny that you thought that about TT but some of the rides like the ones you named are like that so you had the right idea! LOL That would be pretty cool if TT was actually like that too.
Cool thing behind TT--its pretty neat because when I got to work for Disney then.. I had to practically walk under the outside track it was on the pathway from the Cast Member parking, and then our "break area" was right next to the outside track as well.. so I would constantly hear the cars... "zooooom" .. "zoooom".. and honestly it didn't bother me one bit! I would also know when impending weather would be upon us when I would hear NO zoooms .. that or it was another "technical difficulty"--haha they have them frequently.
Ahhhh I think I would LOVE to have hearing the zooms from the TT cars as part of my JOB! I sooo wish that when I was in college I knew about the college program. I would dieeeee to do it now.
You mentioned 'Living with the Land'..your right alot of people think its boring.. but your like me.. I don't find it boring at all! I actually enjoy it..and heres a question for you.. when you guys went did you have an actual "LIVE" person who guided and spoke to you as you floated around.. when me and my boyfriend went last July.. we didnt
I'm like oooo no not another cut because of the economy.. like cutting back in certain locations of Cast Members.. but I loved when someone would talk!
But its always interesting and relaxing to go on the "Living With The Land" .. I love the very beginning where when you first come in and look up to the left you see the restaurant rotating every so slowly.. and the house right there .. hehe..
Do you remember "Food Rocks!!" that was there.. gosh .. way back now before Soarin' was put in. I so remember that.. haha
Living with the Land was a great way to pass some time. It's obviously not like a must do for every trip but it was good. We didn't have a live guide either, just the recording. It was cool to know that they actually use a lot of the food they grow on the ride in the food at WDW. I don't remember Food Rocks

As a kid I wasn't a huge Disney addict like I am now LOL
Whoa! We were doing an update for our TR's at the same time!
Oh gosh...TT. That blue car..our boys..We might get them out of there over break!
I wish I would've been able to see all the Pixie Hollow stuff! It looks so cool!

You guys look so cute in your pics. Even if you look "bald".

You can see your hair on the sides, so I don't think it's that bad!
As soon as I finished updating I saw that you updated too LOL
Our boys are never going to wanna leave the TT area and are going to talk about cars the entire time I'm sure! Pixie Hollow was really cute! And I totally look bald in that picture, hair down totally worked better
Woo hoo! I'm actually not late this time! I did lose your thread!
TT is one of the rides we've never done! I'm hoping to do it in January! Not sure that DH with all his motion sickness will but at least I can leave Ryan with him and not have to baby swap!
Great, beautiful F&GF pictures! DH and I though the same thing about the chains in the butterfly thing! No way is that keeping them in there! When someone pushes open the chains the butterflies can easily fly out!
Glad you found my thread again Melissa! Your family would LOVE TT! I don't think it would really effect motion sickness that much unless your DH has SUPER sensitive motion sickness. Either way, your kiddos will love it!
Those chains were not keeping all those butterflies in. Maybe they didn't care if some flew away since there were soo many cacoons?
Wow-I just spent the whole afternoon reading your TR! I was reading an update on CP's TR & then started reading yours. I loved the part that your parents were celebrating their 25th anniv. as my DH & I will be doing next May & going to Disney. It will be our first trip without kids!! We have taken our 2 DS's on 6 trips. They will be 21 & 17 when we go next year & I am having a hard time thinking of going without them

I am so enjoying this report. I love the pics of your bf with the princess hat. Too cute!! We really enjoyed the American Idol Experience when we were there. I did not think my 2 DS's were going to enjoy it but they wanted to go see the final show also so we did that & the guy that won in the first show we saw also won in the final show. I could comment on so much but do not want to hijack your thread so I will just wait for your next update..
Welcome and glad you joined in!!

My parents celebrated their 25th anniversary on June 3rd and ate at the YS (as you read LOL). They enjoyed it there but didn't spend their whole anniversary in WDW because they're not really big Disney people

You and your DH I'm sure deserve a vacation alone and 6 trips? Your sons have been there a lot!
Chris thought he looked cute in that Disney princess hat HAHA We both enjoyed AI, especially him. We didn't get to go to the finale like CHris wanted to but we will next time we're there. And anytime you want to hijack the thread, don't worry about it! I don't mind
Yay I caught up! I loveddddd the AI Experience but mostly because I am obsessed with AI! I kinda thought the Paula Judge was annoying, though. And I just about peed my pants when I read about your muppet lady!! That IS mean under normal circumstances, but if she was being annoying then you have every right to call he a muppet!
I loved Chris in the Disney Princess hat too, OMG!! And where did you go to record singing a song/saying a scene?! Ive never heard you could do that before! The purple lady at Turtle Talk would make me mad too, I HATE when people can't say excuse me and then shove you!!
Can't wait for more...I'll try not to let myself get so behind now!
Hey girl! We liked the AI experience too! Chris can't wait to go and see the finale next time we're there. And that muppet CM deserved it! It wasn't like I called her fat or ugly, just said she looked like a muppet, thats all
Chris thought he was funny in those hats LOL The sing a song thing was in the Animation building in DHS. The body checking lady needed to get hit but she was huge so I refrained LOL
