She's Your Daughter!!!! A Girls Trip -- Last Day & Departure Day -- Pages 76 & 77

[solana131]

So sorry Kathy Don't worry about us, we will be here and ready whenever things clear up for you!

 

[KatMark]

Thanks for the understanding every one. I'm going to do an update now (I've got to sit in my bosses office and run something on his computer and I figured since I can't do anything at my desk, an update would be a great way to pass the time). I'll come back and do responses either later this afternoon or tonight.

So I left you off with Avery and I conquering Tower of Terror and Cayley getting some "mom and me" time and seeing some characters.

From there, we were waiting for Heather and her group and part of the group was then going to go and hit:

I for one am SOOOOOO very happy that there were other adults willing to do this and I didn't have too.

While we waited for those who were doing Rock & Roll:

From there, it was off to Star Tours. Cayley needed a ride as she was too tired and didn't have Mr. Andy this year to carry her:

And guess who your Rebel Spy was???? That would be me! I had no idea that they did a picture of the Rebel Spy during the attraction so I was a little shocked to see my face up there.

After the ride (of which I felt a little queasy when I got off), it was time to hit the dump shop:

We then headed over to see everyone's favorite green frog:

When your group consists of mostly girls (sorry guys), it is always time to shop:

And a picture of Mary, Christie and I:

Up next, where do we have lunch? And do we all get to sit together?

I was set to do responses and an update tonight when I received the sad news that a friend and colleague that I have worked with for 30 years (she worked for one of my bosses very good friends) passed away Saturday morning after a 9-year battle with cancer.

I'll try to do an update tomorrow night.

Kathy, welcome back! So sorry to hear about this terrible news! You are all in my thoughts and prayers!!!

From there, we were waiting for Heather and her group and part of the group was then going to go and hit:

I for one am SOOOOOO very happy that there were other adults willing to do this and I didn't have too.

What? You ride ToT, but won't do RnR???? RnR is one of my favorite Disney rides!!!

And guess who your Rebel Spy was???? That would be me! I had no idea that they did a picture of the Rebel Spy during the attraction so I was a little shocked to see my face up there.

So cool you got to be the Rebel Spy!!!

After the ride (of which I felt a little queasy when I got off), it was time to hit the dump shop:

I felt a little queasy after the new ride a couple times also. I think it had more to do with getting overheated instead of the ride. I think I would be a lot better if they would circulate a little more air in there.

 

[KatMark]

So we finished Muppets and shopping and it was close to our ADR time. We were dining here:

Heather and family had an ADR too and they said they'd try to put us in cars next to each other...but of course they didn't. Christie and family were off on a mission and we promised to meet up with them again after lunch.

The girls, being cute:

Of course, we had to start with the wonderful onion rings:

I could make a meal out of several orders of these.

One of the girls plates:

I believe this was my meal (give me a break...it was three months ago )

Mary's meal?

Dessert:

After that, it was off to see Beauty & The Beast. I love this show and had not seen it since 2008.

Continued in next post

I love this show and still get teary-eyed every time I see it. Definitely my all-time favorite Disney movie.

Where do we head to next with Christie and family?

 

[KatMark]

After finishing up watching Beauty & The Beast, we headed over to Toy Story Mania to use our Fastpasses. This is my second favorite attraction at the Studios...so fun, but I stink at the game...I never get a high score here.

The girls:

Everyone paired up and I rode alone. My very poor score:

After we got off, Mary got to go again with Christie's son because their guns did not work. So we waited for them to enjoy the attraction.

We then were going to take care of something on Christie's bucket list (she had just a few more attractions to do throughout the parks to have done it ALL!). We headed to The Little Mermaid. I had NOT seen this since the boys were probably about 8 and 10...so 15 years ago at least. We had a little run in with some rude foreigners who refused to follow the rules and MOVE ALL THE WAY DOWN the aisle with Christie's special pass, but we managed. A few pictures prior to the show and during the show:

After Mermaid, it was time for us all to make our goodbyes.

Christie, thank you and your wonderful family for spending part of the trip with us. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and your family and had a blast. We wish you well in your upcoming move.

Up next, what do we do with our evening?????


****Forgot to add one last Photopass picture from the Studios here:

Jordan loves the Beauty and the Beast show too and won't go to DHS without seeing it! Glad you got to enjoy it with the girls! We haven't been there since Star Tours was revamped so I didn't know about the Rebel spy thing either. Cute pic at Sci-Fi!

 

[onelilspark]

I really like the Beauty and the Beast stage show. The pink dresses crack me up everytime because the last time we did it I took a picture and sent it to my Maid of Honor and threatened that they would be the bridesmaid dresses.

I'm sorry to hear of your friend passing.

 

[mommy2mrb]

looks like DHS was a fun day! you got a lot done! we love B &the B too! and Sci-Fi...I can't ride Star Tours, too jerky for me...

 

[mickeystoontown]

I should have come along for your HS day 'cause you guys did all the things that I love to do. Don't worry about sucking at Toy Story Mania. I suck at all those sorts of rides too. Great pictures of the Beauty and the Beast show. It's been years since we've seen it so it was fun looking at your pictures.

 

[pinkxray]

I am so sorry I've still not done responses or that promised update. Work is still super busy, I worked a wrestling tournament all day Saturday at the high school and then spent all day yesterday cleaning my 3-week neglected house.

I was set to do responses and an update tonight when I received the sad news that a friend and colleague that I have worked with for 30 years (she worked for one of my bosses very good friends) passed away Saturday morning after a 9-year battle with cancer.

I'll try to do an update tomorrow night.

So sorry to hear of your loss

 

[tinacaplan]

So sorry to hear about your friend.


It looks like you and the girls had a good time at DHS. No Aerosmith for you? Not like it goes upside down or anything. That last picture of you is great; you look like you are absolutely having a blast.

 

[Simba22]

great updates, Kathy!

I love the Beauty & The Beast show, too! I can't wait for the Be Our Guest Restaurant to open up in MK!! It's going to be so beautiful!

TSMM is SO fun but I'm not very good at it either! I always think I'm doing so good and then my final score is just pitiful!

And I'm so sorry to hear about your friend! How awful Thoughts and prayers are with you and her family

The girls, being cute:

Continued in next post

This is the cutest picture!

WOW - mega update! Nice job!

I love all the Beauty and the Beast pictures! They are awesome! It really is different going with girls compared to boys! I think I need an all girls trip because I have a feeling that BATB will not be on our June "must see" list!

 

[Nermel9]

I'm so sorry for your loss, I feel like the last few weeks have been rough for everyone.

Great updates! I love DHS and it looks like you were all having a great time, you got so much done! I really have to do the BATB show someday, we just never have time!

I was the rebel spy too, I hated seeing my picture up there!

Yay Toy Story Mania! I love that ride, I hope they are still letting people in early and the mad dash is a thing of the past to get FP's! Maybe I will ask on the Theme Parks boards!

 

[MHTeacher]

I understand how hard it is to get moving in the real world when you return back home after a long trip!

Those onion rings at Sci-Fi look delicious.

I think you might have taken about as many pictures during Beauty and the Beast as I usually do! I love that show!

So sorry about the loss of your friend.

 

[brookelizabeth]

What a fun afternoon! Looooove those onion rings at Sci-Fi. YUM.

 

[englishrose47]

Awesome update Kathy and soooo glad you are back on the Dis!!Your pix of Beauty and the Beast are wonderful !! I sent you the Rosie link to my PTR , you know on the PTR board etc !! Christine and I are doing better with deciding on where to eat than where to stay Ya'll check it out !!!

 

[afwdwfan]

I just don't understand people who don't like Tower of Terror or Rock n Rollercoaster. It is just beyond belief.

Great pictures of the Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast shows. I haven't seen either of those since.... I don't know when. I think I might have seen the Little Mermaid once several years ago, but I don't think I've seen Beauty and the Beast.

I always enjoy Sci-Fi for lunch. It feels so relaxing to go into that dark room in the middle of a hot day. Despite what some people say, I really don't think the food is all that bad there, even if it really isnt' anything special.

 

[solana131]

Love all the pictures of the shows! Can't wait to actually watch one this July We didn't get to see ANY shows at all in Feb. Beauty and the Beast looks like it might become my favorite
