Chapter 25. R2D2, flying cars, and a pit stop
we meet back up with my parents just as the parade for the star wars was getting ready to start. we found them in front of the drew carry show. the lines for the parade were huge...we had no idea who was going to be in it, just that there was people everywhere...and we knew that we were getting hungry so we thought we might as well eat now.
like i said there was a ton of people in the area for the parade, and there was an Indy show going on, so that took alot of people, there was noone eating at the backlot express...we walked right up to an open line and ordered our food.
candi and parker shared nuggets, and he had some of my burger, my parents both had wrap/sandwhiches of some sort.
when we were done eating, the parade was over and so was the indy show, the lines were now out the door and we were glad we chose to eat when we did.
on our way out we were confronted with the stage and looked to the left to see what all the comotion was about, well this little guy came rolling out in front of us.
i always like to know how things work, and shortly i found this following him around,
it was his controller
he was pretty good to be doing that with the controls behind his back.
in order to let our stomachs settle some we opted to hit up the backlot tour before the next LMA stunt show...the line was pretty far down ramp, but it did not take long, and parker was entertained by the props they had to look at....
he really liked the trucks in the prop wharehouse.
is it just me, or did the "bone" cage that they used in the pirates film, get a little distorted over the years from sitting there, i always thought it was pretty round in the past.
its too bad this never really took off as the main icon for the park, i always liked it.
once the ride was over, they were letting people in for LMA stunt show so we made our way in as well, and found seats that were close to a fan, it was getting pretty hot out that afternoon.
they were good seats, and we were close to the top exit stairs which provided a nice view of disastraph canyon.
my dad got a pretty good flight shot of the jump
and here is what barely a second difference looks like in the fire jump at the end.
my dads picture right when it is leaving the ramp.
and mine when it is a few feet farther along.
when the show was over, we went and sat in the shade of the eating area by hunny i shrunk the kids play yard, and got some frozen drinks with our snack credits at the little trailer cart.
with drinks almost gone it was time to hit voyage of the little mermaid. were getting ready to be let in for the show when parker started hidding behind us while we in line, which means one thing, he is working on something and will need changed shortly...uhh oohhhh the sign says the show will let us in in 4 minutes...so i think quick.
he finishes, i grab him tell the CM what im doing and to let me back in when i come back she agrees. so i take off cut through the gift shop and hit the bathrooms by the animation academy.
pit stop complete i know im pushing the 4 minute to show time that i had when i left...so i cut through the store and get to the CM station well it is a different one there, he says sorry bud you cant go in this show is full, i said yes i can cause so and so CM told me to come back and i can meet my family, luckily the CM from before was standing up front and i said lets go ask her, we did and she let us in, as the doors for the theater were opening up.
show was good as always, and parker did good for it.
when it was over, we went to see if there was a line for any of the characters in animation academy while my parents went to use there Fast pass for RNRC, apparently there was no one out since this isall we got in our picture.
on observations around the park i do have to say that there is alot of people dressed up for the star wars weekends in costums.
but there are some that need to watch what they wear, some of the outfits that the girls were wearing, were showing a good amount that im not even sure they would let you into certain bars wearing these things, its just a little shocking what disney will let some people wear into the parks. just saying we were surpised on some outfits that if we took pictures of them and posted them im sure they would get censored and banned.
