After we left the Beauty and the Beast Stage show Angela suggested we get something to eat. This was actually just a little downside to the VIP tour guide, you are required to eat at least 1 sit down meal with the guide. Well we had a big breakfast at 1900 PF and we had a 4 oclock ADR for dinner at Brown Derby (my favorite HS restaurant) and since we had a few snacks none of us were really hungry, but we had to stop and eat. We thought counter service would be pretty fast and not waste too much time, so we decided to head to Pizza Planet. Wow that place was crazy packed
.and I have to admit that I was a little annoyed that we spent like 40 minutes in line for food that none of us really wanted. I would have thought with the VIP guide we wouldnt have to wait in that line
..not that I think we shouldnt have to wait or anything, but I have to admit I couldnt help but think of how much money it was costing us while just standing in a food line. In total it took like an hour and a half to wait to order the food and eat it, which to me wasnt a good use of the time with the expensive VIP tour guide, especially since our group wasnt really interested in eating at that point anyways. I also think it may have been faster if we just went to a TS restaurant since Angela didnt seem to have any pull at counter service and it was incredibly slow.
After we finished eating, Angela suggested Toy Story Mania. None of us had ridden TSM Mania before, the lines were just insanely long on our previous trip and we only spent an evening at Hollywood Studios the previous year. We jumped into the Fast Pass line and were on the ride in just a few minutes.
Here are a few pictures from the line:
Mimi and Aunt Momo were in the cart behind us, so I was able to snap a quick picture as the ride started
Angela didnt ride TSM with us, she said she had a phone call to make. Of all of us, Dee got the highest score, and he was sure to rub it in. When we got off the ride Angela was waiting at the exit. Angela quickly told Taylor that someone was looking for her
.. Taylor asked who, and Angela held up her walkie talkie
.we then heard Boo saying Mike Wazowski! Mike Wazowski! Taylor got all excited and grabbed Angelas hand and off we went.
