Star Wars Opening Weekend...Was the force with us?

OOOOOOH, I totally didn't even think of Daisy Duck when I thought of Tusker House!! Now I am REALLLY excited to go there!! I'd like to try and meet her in her regular garb as well.. any clues where we could do that?? Hmm.. maybe I will make a wish list of character meets for this trip??

That's the only place I've seen her so far. I have a "list" going but my dang DH hates standing in line!

Daisy can often be found mid-morning at town square in MK. By the flag pole. You can also find her with Minnie at the Hat in DHS. She is a charmer!
 

Hi Sophia!

Have missed so much, but I've not been on DIS for a few days - we had a really busy weekend and just not had a chance!

Great updates again! I can't believe this is the last day!!! Sooo fast!! :sad2:

Did you not get a photo of DH with 'the' stein???? Would've liked to have seen it!

Remy looked like fun - just a shame they won't really be doing it now! Though I don't think I could persuade Grumpy to go to Chef de France, his sister has a holiday home in the south of France and I've yet to persuade him to go for a holiday!!!

I hope the journey to the airport went safely!!!! :scared1:

Di,

I didn't get a picture of Joe with the stein. :sad2: I had the camera put away most of the day due to the darn rain.

Wow, the south of France..... it sounds so exotic! You'll have to share your trip with us if Grumpy ever agrees to go!
 
Hi there! Glad you found me. I've been wondering how you are doing!


I am doing much better thank you! Im just taking one day at a time... I guess thats all I can do.. hoping the worst is behind me and looking to spending time with my kids and grandbabies..

Whew.. I just finished catching up on your TR.. You had me cracking up... I love love love your pictures!!! It looks like you guys had a blast!! I bet your DB had a wonderful time..

I have to say that after my solo trip I decided to cancel our upcoming September trip.. I thought I lost the Disney magic and then with everything going on in my life right now I thought maybe I needed to step back from disney for awhile.. We are still doing our cruise.. regardless of anything else.. I already cancelled our resort only reservation.. after reading your TR last night and tonight, I talked to DH and its back on!! You have inspired me to take the plunge and go and have some fun.. I called tonight and made ressies at Port Orleans FQ with free dining.. :banana:

Hi. I've been MIA for a few days. I plan to finish this TR tomorrow.

Just got back from a 4 day trip to PA that was awesome. So awesome that I plan to do a mini-TR in my PTR for September! A bit off topic, but hey, it was SO MUCH FUN!

:wave: Hi to Di as well and anyone else i might know here. :rotfl: Can't wait to catch up on your adventures.

Hi you! I was just thinking about you the other day when I was perusing my own old PTR :lmao:

Hope all is well!
 
Shawna, great to have you back!




Well, I never did get to finish the TR. :confused3 I will most likely have it done though this weekend. Things have been crazy here. We just got back from a trip to PA on Sunday, took my niece out to dinner yesterday for her birthday and work is a pain so that's why my target is this weekend to finish this TR!
 
Well, I am finally finishing my TR!

After leaving Tusker we waited for rope drop near KS. We waited around 15 minutes or so if I remember correctly. Right before they dropped the rope I could see this mad rush of people that were running towards KS. :scared1: Once the rope dropped the CM led us to KS. They didn't want anyone to run so we played a little follow the leader. :laughing: We got to the loading area and we were on the second truck out.

We left KS and walked the trail. Yeah, I can't spell Pag-what-ever.....


GORILLA BUTT!!!!!!

We had no clue what to do next and honestly, it was hot and we were tired as all hell. We decided to go here.........

DORKS!!!!!!!!!!

I just love this show. I think my brother liked it too. It always freaks me out even though I know "what's coming."

After ittbab we did a bit of shopping. I really wanted to eat at Flame Tree for lunch but the heat was intense so can you believe it.................we LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At first we thought we'd go back to DHS but we figured all FP's would be gone for TSMM and we didn't want to wait in that line.

Continued on next post.
 
We left DAK and headed back to EPCOT. It seems that DB really enjoyed EPCOT. We parked in the handicap parking for DH. He was really getting tired by this time.

We went through bag check and again my Steeler's bag was a hit! Woo Hoo! It was after we got into the park that I came to a realization..........ready???????...........OMG, I forgot to put on pitt stick! Can you imagine! :scared1::scared1: I remembered that Mouse Gear was the ONLY store in EPCOT that sells deoderant. Of course, I made the mad dash over there and spent over 3 bucks for a trial sized deoderant! OMG, I was mortified!

Once in Mouse Gear we did a little shopping. The guys wanted to go back over to WS to get this funky soda thing but it was hot and there was no way I was walking all the way back there only to have to make the mad dash to the car so we did not miss our flight.

We went to see what the wait for TT was like. Yeah, well over an hour. No way. Not this time.

From there we decided to try SSE again. When we arrived the wait was forever. The line was wrapped around both sides of the building. :eek: We decided we were going to wait ... what the heck....last ride before heading to the airport.

DH rode alone and I think he actually fell asleep. I rode with my brother.

The guys played the racing game outside SEE while I enjoyed the air conditioning before we made our way back to the car and to the airport.

I took these on the way out of the park.

I think we stopped to gas up the rental and then made our way to the airport. I could tell that both DB and DH were tired. I just did not know HOW tired they were.

DH decided that he was going to go "another way" to the airport....he was not going to take I-4. Well people, I started to see FARM LAND...like real farm land. We ended up on this very straight road that seemed to lead to no where. :scared1: This is where DH FELL ASLEEP BEHIND THE WHEEL!!!!!!!!! :eek: DB was snoozing away and I had dozed off. I remember waking up and asking DH where we were. He said "not sure." We got off of the road, paid a toll and then got back on going the other way. Still have no clue where we were. We ended up back near DTD and then went our "normal" way back to the airport. I was freaked out big time!

We were early for our flights and dropped DB off at his terminal before going to our terminal to return our car. Car drop off was easy this time. We made our way to the terminal and then sat there for probably 15 to 20 minutes waiting to check in............and we were NEXT in line the ENTIRE TIME! It was frustrating. We did not have to pay a luggage fee so once we checked in we walked over to security. DH and I fly CLEAR so it was a blessing. We unloaded our crap-o-la, got through the gates and made our way to the gate....at which time......we both fell asleep. I woke up to DH snoring. :eek: It was sort of funny actually!

Right when we started to board our plane came the thunder and lightening. I hate flying in weather like that. We had the exit row and once we boarded, we fell asleep. When I woke up there was someone new sitting next to me....a very obnoxious woman who was shouting to her husband and children a few rows up. I still wonder if DH and I were snoring and that is what made her and her husband change seats. :laughing:

We landed safely, collected our luggage and waited for our cab ride home. :sad1::sad1:

It is always sad to come home but we had a really great time. I am so glad that we went with my DB. I am hoping that he will start to join us on our family trips or that maybe we can make this a yearly event for the three of us. I really miss him and hate that he lives so far. The time we spent together was really nice.

In closing, I will leave you with my favorite picture from the trip.

Next trip is in September. DH was laid off this week but since we have already paid for the trip and are getting free dining, we are still going. Please say a little prayer for us that he gets a new job soon. He already has an interview next week so my fingers are crossed.

Thanks for reading along.
