I have some quiet time right now so I will continue with Day 6's update!
I forgot to mention the weather for this day was beautiful!! I just checked weather.com's archive and it got to 77 and was sunny!!
So, we left off with a wonderful M&G with P&F!
We realized right away the snafu with the camera, I was upset..but Ferb and the girls were great about it.
We moved along and decided to head into Muppets 3D. We all really enjoyed this movie last year and while this attraction is dated, it still is lots of fun!
Obligatory shot in front of the fountain!
We left there and took another run at Star Tours. We wanted to see as many sequences as we possible. This became very difficult, we kept seeing the same ones over and over. They changed up a bit, but we saw the same beginning twice, the same "transmission" each time and the same ending each time. We will have to give it another go in Oct for sure!
Another obligatory shot!!
It was difficult to get this picture because there were some pretty ignorant people hogging the speeder and not being respectful of other people waiting. Not to mention, is it really that hard to figure out who is next? Apparently!
I admit that I tend to overreact in these situations. I usually have something to say under my breath, not a big deal, but I also end up overcompensating for the wait times of the people behind us. I make our kids go so fast that we tend to mess up our pics. I need to remember that we deserve our turn just as much as the next guy, and take a moment to get a good pic. There, rant over for the day.
Moving on, we had to get a ride on the Great Movie Ride for Rapunzel's sake. We headed over there next. When we rode it said 11 AM on our camcorder. There was little to no wait for this. When we entered we asked the CM at the entrance..."Is this a movie or a ride?" She had NO idea what we were talking about?!
This is a must see for anyone who understands that dealing with park guests can be challenging!

We were about to enter the line when I thought to ask about seeing the Cowboy scene. We have only ever seen the gangster and I thought it would be neat to see something different. The CM said to ask as we were loading. We asked and as it happens we were already loading into the correct tram, and we got to be in the front row! The "bandit" as they call it was right next to Stitch for his part of the ride. He tried to scare her so many times...it was funny, but I don't think she appreciated it and he could tell...
I'm glad we got to see a different side to this ride. I think we might try to alternate in the future if possible.
As we exited I thought to look at our Times Guide to see what was going on. B&TB was going to start soon so we headed down that way.
Obligatory shot #1
Obligatory shot #2
Then we saw these two...they were HILARIOUS!! This poor unsuspecting woman was having a snack..and apparently these two were hungry...you should have seen how many ways they tried to get a bite of her food!!!
She was completely oblivious, and when she realized what they were up to, she just looked over her shoulder at them and then went right back to eating, like it was no big deal.
I offered them a snack as we were getting one for the show, they declined saying they were on a hollywood diet and couldn't eat.
So, we got to have our snacks all to ourselves and watch B&TB for the first time ever. It was nice to try new things this time around. This show is really good and we enjoyed it even from the nose bleed section.
Rested and refreshed we heading into the Animation Building. I offered for Ferb to ride ToT and Stitch to ride RnR, but they both declined saying they weren't feeling up to it today. I warned them that this was their only chance...nope, not gonna happen. I think when you know that you'll be back, you don't have the same sense of urgency to ride everything. It felt good actually.
Pics along the way:
We didn't have the best timing here, we never seem to. We got to see Mr Incredible and Frozone and Winnie the Pooh, we could have seen Sorcerer Mickey but chose to pass on that.
We headed out and watched VOTLM at 12:30 according to our camcorder. We got in the front row...not a good place to be, you can't see any of the lower part of the show. Then we used our TSMM FP. The wait time was posted at 70 min when we entered and then 50 min when we exited.
I love this ride, but I would never wait to ride.

Talk about timing!!
We ended up doing an extra half day there. 
Still, this was a good experience and a necessary one...Rapunzel is our fave right now!!
Saw a lot of girls walking around with "funkified"(great word
We left Fantasyland and headed towards The Haunted Mansion and you'll never guess who rode? Yep Rapunzel....but we bypassed the stretching room. She really enjoyed the new queue area, the ride..well, maybe, maybe not..she was not too keen, but not totally scared either. Not sure if we will ever get her on it again. But, she tried it...so proud of that girl!!
So we grabbed a towel from a CM along the way and cleaned it up as best we could. We made it to TH and were taken in at 8:12...we got our pic taken with Donald outside and then we were shown to our table right away. I didn't like the fact that Donald was outside..I wish I had gotten a pic with our own camera because their pic turned out pretty bad. Oh well...we made up for that later!
