Something About Nothing...........#8

[keishashadow]

so nice to see these pics 1st thing in the am

mac nice thing re UHollywood is the tickets are reasonably priced, sign up for their email promos. Appears their version of HHN is much smaller in scale but we were blown away by the talent-level in the parks! How cool it'd be to get to see the HM Nightmare overlay, wish the convention we attend would move from summer dates!

have a good weekend all!

btw, i came back home to roll over the mileage.

After seeing MH's pics, I'm kinda bummed that we won't be able to get to DL during our trip to California in April

... on the bright side though, we're going to book the 6 hour VIP tour at Universal Hollywood so we can actually walk up the steps of the Psycho house [FONT=&quot][/FONT]

I'll wrap this up here. The weather started getting sucky around 5:30 Friday afternoon. It came down pretty hard for awhile. We immediately whipped out our DAK rain ponchos and jumped in line at Snow White.

Afterwards we jumped on the monorail in Tomorrowland and rode it over to DTD to get something to eat. You have to have a park ticket and a handstamp to get back in the park via the monorail. It's a pretty sweet little ride...

It's been officially wet for quite some time now. ...

We ended up at Tortilla Joe's in DTD for dinner. We started off with a Happy Hour special of Yuca Fries. These were served with a habanero bbq sauce. Outstanding!! It was a mexican version of french fries. They were huge, hot and crispy on the outside while fluffy in the middle and sprinkled with chili powder...we'd eaten about 3 before I remembered to take a pic

We also enjoyed complimentary chips and salsa with our Dos Equis brews...

We also split a chile rellenos...

For dinner (yeah...we ate a lot) we shared the Aciote Grilled Chicken - Grilled achiote citrus-glazed chicken breast, served with chipotle-mashed sweet potatoes, charro beans and roasted corn on the cob topped with chorizo. I had already split the chicken with Dana before I realized I had forgotten the pic...doh

It all hit the spot. Afterwards we headed over to DCA to check out elecTRONica. The Hollywood Backlot section transformed into some techno Rave party...at least that's what it appeared to us...

Due to the weather they cancelled the Laser guy show but here is a video I found online. I should have seen this....

The rain was still coming down and it was cold and windy. Not the record setting temps in the upper 70s we were having at home. We just hoped our entertainment schedule wouldn't be affected. We made our way up Main Street...

 

[Mad Hattered]

Our plan for the evening would be to take in the fireworks from Main Street at 8:45 and then hit the second showing of F! at 10:15. *sigh* A CM kindly informed us that all entertainment had been cancelled for the evening, including WOC over in DCA.

Oh well.....it wasn't all a wash. We ended up using our 9 pm FP for SM, rode Matterhorn twice with no wait. Rain will do that to lines . We did POTC , Haunted Mansion and went to hit Indiana Jones one last time. The wait was 75 minutes but we were determined to ride it once more. Just as we got in line a nice lady called us out from the side. She asked if we would like her FPs that were valid right now? Well yes, yes we would.

We stuck it out til around 11 pm (park was open to midnight) and decided it was time to get dry. It was time to say goodbye to Mickey....

hmmm, dos equis, stay thirsty my friend, don't remember seeing that restaurant in DTD, food looks good & fresh

so what'd u think of their version of POC? i wish they'd chuck all of dino land in AKand put the indy ride in, based upon same platform afterall

would u believe im up to #5 accident today?Ancient dude @ grocery story back up into same side of my car that was just buffeddespite me laying on my horn. Least he was moving slow enough to have just left huge mark on my tire...i'll call it good luck it wasn't worse, figure it'll be flat by AM looks like it's losing air.

I thought DL's version of POTC was much better than WDW. It seemed waaaay longer, much more detailed and it had a couple of BIG drops in it that caught me off guard. Couldn't agree more with your wishes of Dino land. Indy is the exact same concept (although I found the ride smoother). It would be a much better fit, and besides, I'm sick of listening to Mrs. Huxstable give her spiel.

Welcome back, Coach! The Little Mermaid will be done for sure. Cars is scheduled to open "Summer of 2012", so take that for it is. I hope it's open for you because it sure looks to be an awesome ride.

Have a great time on your upcoming trip! Are you finally going to get to WWOHP?

 

[Mad Hattered]

Speaking of storms, Keisha....we had tornadoes all around us last night/this morning. We were still up at 12:30 am when it hit hard around us. When the high winds and hail started pelting the house and the TV went out, we grabbed the cats and headed down to the basement for about 30 minutes. You could see a lot of debris this morning on our way to work.
