I love this ride too-and I am super competitive!! BUT I absolutely suck at it! I must not understand how to play becaue I can't even get 1,000. But I insist on riding multiple times LOL!
That is so disappointing about your room. I mean the CL upgrade was super cool, but then to be given a less than appropriate space kind of detracts from the pixie dust. I hope you went back and talked to a more personable front desk staff and got that change in the end.
So DH just insisted we make a FP for this for the NYE trip b/c he has to get the top score...he's been watching
YouTube videos on how to be the galactic hero. That's what kind of home I live in
It sometimes takes me awhile to get in the groove and try to figure out where my little red laser dot is pointing. I also just like spinning the car, LOL!!
The room was a pain. We didn't have awesome luck with the CL desk CMs unfortunately.
I am super-competitive but my mom SMOKES me on these rides. She beat me at Buzz our first trip and she beat me at Toy Story on this trip by about 60,000 points. We caught the Paul Revere Muppet show! I was thrilled it got extended because Mom loves the Muppets. It's really perfectly in the irreverent Muppet spirit too. "Great moments in history, but only the American parts!" LOL. It was chilly and windy the morning we watched it but we had some coffee and hot cocoa from Sleepy Hollow next door so we were good. I managed to catch some of Hallowishes from the Poly Beach area one night and it's a pretty good spot! Best ever was still the club lounge balcony at the Contemporary, but who knows if we will ever stay there again.
Dang, your mom needs to coach people on these rides!!
I am determined to catch the Paul Revere one. Hopefully next trip. I always end up with the same one, which I've seen three or four times now. I still love it but want to see the other one, too!
Spoiler alert for the TR, but we watched Hallowishes from the beach and Happily Ever After one night from the Poly lounge. I preferred the beach by far. Would love to watch from the Contemporary at some point. Right now it looks like we'll be watching HEA from the Grand during the NYE trip (unless i change dinner reservations)...but I am envious of the Contemporary views!
Too funny about competing against your mom! I come from a competitive family and went on TSM (FP+) with my mom (pictured with me), then 75, a couple of years ago. I won, but as we were leaving my mom suggested we go again to "practice". I'm sure if we lived closer, she'd be there on a regular basis, practicing!
I love your mom!! She might be sneaking down there to practice for the next trip...has she ever disappeared for a couple of days, or have you heard odd noises in the background when calling her??

I feel like I would really get along with her!!

Same here we've also noticed that kids like to drink the water Stitch spits on in DS.

It's so scary!!!
Was it the type of shower with a door that doesn't go down all the way? I've been in hotels a few times with those and water almost always seeps out. Now sure why they make showers that way. We were in a hotel in NJ once that flooded the bathroom completely.
Kids are gross!! It would never have occurred to me as a child to catch Stitch spit in my mouth

Who even came up with those weird masks?? They look like the really scary old vintage Halloween masks. Yikes!
there wasn't a door at all, it was like a roll in type shower, just open with a fabric curtain. But the curtain was like three inches from touching the ground, it made zero sense!
And the weirder part, even though it was a wheelchair room, the counters in the bathroom were standard height, I think it would have been too tall for someone in a wheelchair to reach the sink comfortably.
Cute pics with Minnie & Daisy, I'm glad you got to meet them!
My mom likes CoP and she still manages to doze off during it! LOL
You guys did so much, I almost forgot it was still your arrival day!
I'm sorry about the room disasters
I was really excited to finally meet them in their Sideshow costumes.
We really packed the day full of stuff...we still have the evening left to go. I think we must have been running on adrenaline.
Oh, that room. It was definitely NOT my favorite!
