Our memorable yet forgetful trip

[DisneyJo]

Just had to post before I read you've just hit 5000 posts

Also it was really sweet to call me TGJ

I’m still waiting on Heather to send me the money for because I never would have done them if she hadn’t posted hers in her TR.

I think Heather should be on commision as I want to get them done too, great photos BTW

I say, hey we need to hurry and get a picture but they were in a hurry to eat and she totally blows me off saying that we would meet back up with me. I knew we wouldn’t but I let her believe it and we went our separate ways.

We got to the Magic of Disney Animation and didn’t realize we basically had to sit through a little movie about animation before we were allowed into the studio to see the characters.

I think you can go in via the gift shop and skip the movie!

About ten feet out we realize, it’s not just rain. It’s hail!

And Florida hail is huge too, hope you didn't get hurt

Hey! I don't think we forgot anything today!

Thanks for noticing and you got the TGJ the first night I met you so that's how I know you.

I wondered if we could go in via the gift shop but when we asked the CM that was standing by the line how to get the autographs he just kept telling us to go stand in line. It was strange. We had fun I just wish we had stayed for another hour to avoid getting soaked.

I just remembered another forgotten thing that started off this whole trip. We'll call it FORGOTTEN THING #0. A few months ago my father came up to babysit so Anakin and I could go out on a date. Well, we argued about what movie to see and ended up going to Meijer to get snacks and then to the mall. We bought some t-shirts and other clearance clothing items at the Disney Store. As far as Anakin knew it was his only Disney shirt. We both remember putting it in the trunk and going to another mall downtown but now we can't find it. I don't remember bringing it in that night. In fact I was pretty sure we didn't because I remember telling Luke he would have to wait until the next day to see the pants I got him. Anakin has no clue but always blames me for missing things. This bag was in the trunk of his car and I've gone through the whole house without finding it. I think he must have taken it out at work or cub scouts and somehow left it somewhere. He just won't admit to that possibility so we are out $30 worth of Disney stuff. I still had the receipt in my purse!

Hey I was going along so well talking about us that I forgot about the stormtroopers. We were excited to see them when we got to MGM and as we got closer to the gates I went to take the picture of one and he looked right at me and started waving his finger back and forth. The people around me started yelling, "He's waving his finger at you!" They obviously didn't know that I could see that through the viewfinder of my camera!

I thought I was being so organized about this but dang if I'm not forgetting things. Yet another reason to write it up and let it sit in word overnight before posting it.

I was going to do a dining review but like Goofyluver I am not wonder woman and couldn't do it all. Plus, we didn't do the DDP this time and the only ADRs we had were for Akershus and CP. Here is my dry bland chicken from Akershus though. It's my one food picture.

These are pictures of nicer things.

Good job!!!

Our first full day in the parks. The plan is to hit everything we loved last time, catch a little High School Musical, eat at Luke’s favorite restaurant (Pizza Planet) and to meet Goofyluver since I owe her some money for Leia’s new tutu which Goofyluver is carrying around with her. Luke starts complaining that he needs an autograph book for Star Wars characters. The kid doesn’t even act like he likes the movies. He goes and plays in other rooms every time Anakin turns one on. But we stop and grab one at the General Store . We totally meant to get there really early and meet Goofyluver before the park even opened. That went out the window. Nobody else was as excited as me to meet a Disser and they all took their sweet time. We take the boat over from the Boardwalk and get to the park about twenty minutes before opening. I call Goofyluver and they’ve been there for an hour! Those people were really excited about their trip! I shouldn’t actually just say I called Goofyluver. I think we left a total of ten to fifteen messages on each other’s cellphones. It was loud!

It was sooooo loud...but I was so excited to hear your voice!!

While the kids and I were harrassing Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia our (oh carp) Anakin was waiting in line for the real Anakin because he was getting ready to go on break. We rush over and Luke jumps in line with his father. At that point I call Goofyluver again to ask where the heck they are. She announces that they are in line for Darth Vader and there isn’t hardly anyone in line. We rush over there and of course they aren’t there anymore and the line is huge. Anakin announces that he doesn’t think Goofyluver really wants to meet me and is just sending me to different spots around the park to mess with me.

Ummmmm...no...we just got there early and got right through the line!

We are getting ready to eat lunch but I decide to call Goofyluver again since I knew that they were eating at the same place. She says that the parade is about to start and they will eat lunch after it. We spent so much time getting autographs I had forgotten about the parade so we ran down and put the kids on our shoulders so they could see the parade then we went back to Pizza Planet. We got our food, we ate, slowly, no Goofyluver. I call and leave her a message and let the kids play a couple of games while I look out the windows. Then I see them and run out the doors to chastise them for their tardiness. Goofy gives me the tutu and I realize that I just turned all my small bills into quarters. Oops. She borrows ten from Dam and I give her a twenty. I say, hey we need to hurry and get a picture but they were in a hurry to eat and she totally blows me off saying that we would meet back up with me. I knew we wouldn’t but I let her believe it and we went our separate ways.

This is sooooo not true! I didn't blow you off...you guys were on your way out of the restaurant!!!! But I am sorry that we didn't get to meet up again!!!

Then someone comes in and says it’s raining cats and dogs, er... Plutos out there and someone yells from the crowd, “You mean Figaros and Plutos!” HaHaHa. We head back in to play in the character area some more and avoid the rain and get a horrible picture of Luke with Frozone. He was still mad about the art thing and was throwing a fit. Frozone tried to be nice and handwrote his autograph (he usually stamps it) and then after that Luke was mad that his was handwritten and not stamped. He’s never happy. We are really bored at this point and just wanted to leave. Our whole schedule was ruined now. There was no way that Kim Possible was coming out in that weather.

We now make the stupidest decision of our lives. We should have just stayed in the boring studio but no, we decide to buy over priced ponchos and try to make our way over to RnR and see if it is still running. About ten feet out we realize, it’s not just rain. It’s hail! Too late now, we are already wet. We rush over to RnR and Luke and Anakin run and get in the fast pass line. It was moving at first but then it stops. We look up and see that TOT is still running. We find out in a bit after another family comes to stand by me that RnR stopped running because people refused to leave the gift shop so there was no room to let people off the ride. Therefore there was no room to let people on the ride. We stood there forever. Leia fell asleep but I don't think it's all that healthy to fall asleep when you're cold and wet. The rain finally started to let up (we were soaked at that point) and we decide to start walking toward the exit. We would have just left earlier but it was raining soooo hard.

We were soooooo wet that day!!!

Thanks! I was worried about the princess dress but I got it for less than $10 and just couldn't pass that up to pay $70 for one at WDW. Even if it would last longer.

I knew you would love the shirt! If we meet anytime soon we should wear the same shirt!

ThankS Dippy!!

Hi, I found out from an overnighted letter through FedEx. I've also gotten phone calls and sometimes (probably not for a trip) a prize will just show up.

Usually if the prize is worth more than $600 they will want you to sign some affidavits and such.
