As much as we were enjoying the rest and AC at the resort,
Disney reallllllly makes you appreciate that.
Feeling like
@pkondz must every day at Disney
Oh, yup. Pretty much. Pretty standard for me.
(he still hasn’t told us where he gets the patented express golden transportation ticket),
It's available for a rather large fee. Text me for details.
Katie also had a little Stitch wristband stuffie. Well, Stitch was thrilled about this and motioned for Katie to put it on his wrist, and he then paraded around the room showing off his little clone.
I bet Katie was thrilled.
He was so energetic, he even inspired me to do a (blurry) character selfie, which I had never done before.
Hmmm... Neither have I. I don't really do selfies, although I've done a couple in recent days/weeks.
Hmmm... one of these photos does not belong.
so we zipped (that’s like sashaying, with purpose)
This is technically correct.
we had to walk right past the “Purple Wall” which apparently has become Instagram famous
ummm... okay?
(I have an 18 year old who explained to me what that was)
I'll have to ask my girls.
did we all have to give Disney another reason to take money from us?
Oh, don't worry. They don't need a reason.
Little Stitch even got in on the action.
Ha! Didn't notice him at first. Well placed.
I felt a bit silly paying OOP for TS when I had the QS dining plan, but I didn’t want QS every day
Nor do I. I was
just telling that to Elle yesterday. I'm fine with QS... but not every day, thank you.
Just another reason why the dining plan doesn’t work for us.
For me it's... I don't want to eat because I
have to. "Gotta use up those credits!" I was soooo full the one time we had free dining.
I think... hmmm... maybe now if I had the opportunity for free dining, I'd get it, but just not eat so much. It's free. It's okay not to use all the credits.
The brisket was tender and the BBQ sauce nice, maybe a touch sweet, but good for the meat and fine to have a little mixed into the top of the pasta. My only complaint is they put a layer of BBQ sauce at the bottom of the dish before adding the pasta. I found once I got to the bottom that much BBQ sauce was a little too sweet and didn't mix that well with the cheese sauce (taste wise). If I were to have it again, I would ask for no BBQ sauce at the bottom.
I read that... then re-read that. I was like "Man. That sounds almost
exactly what I read somewhere else."
Then the nickel dropped.
Ariel with her stunned expression.
Next scene is with her drugged expression.
I may be a little weird, but I actually like the big thunderous storms
I do too.
I wonder if it's because we (seldom) get tornadoes with them?
Well, hello there.
In every meet we’ve done with Ariel, she’s been a bit dull
That's too bad.
I know others (I’m looking at you
@pkondz) have had interesting meets with Ariel
I wonder.
I do have an agenda when I meet her. I have a photo in mind and a story I want to tell. I give her something to do other than just "sit there for
another guest"...
So either she gets into it and becomes animated because it's a respite from boredom...
Or she does so even thought she doesn't want to because she feels it's expected of her.
Either way (not sure, but I'd like to think it's the former) it certainly makes her more animated.
The rain was getting even more intense by now
Ugh. Rain should not happen in MK. Put the dome up for Pete's sakes!
Had I made a FP for BTMRR or 7DMT like I considered, it would likely have been shut down for weather
True! Good call.
We stood there for a few minutes outside with the rain coming down in sheets now.
Um.... "
minutes"?
Didn't your mama ever teach you to come in out of the rain?
We were seated in the ride vehicle, made it a few inches along the track, and then, stopped. After a few minutes the music even stopped and I was witnessing my first significant ride break down.
Well... poop.
But, I still considered us lucky. We were indoors, out of the rain, and even sitting down quite comfortably.
Very good point! Better than being stuck under an awning or something.
I had meant to read up on the tips to be a Galactic Hero, but of course forgot.
I do that. "I'm gonna get it this time!"..... "Now what was I supposed to shoot again?"
I'm not sure what's going on here, but whatever it is, I don't think they're doing it right.
And... I note the ponchos still on. I'm surprised. Usually they tell you that you can't wear them on the rides.
we decided to head into Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor. We had never done this before
I did it for the first time not long ago. It's cute. But not worth lining up for.
I had a feeling they would do the fireworks eventually, and that was confirmed by a CM who told me “even if it’s at 3 o’clock in the morning, they will shoot them off”.
Really???
I’m curious why though. Is this done for safety reasons, or some kind of legal issue having live explosives around in the day time?
Primed and too much trouble to "defuse"?
I enjoyed an American Dream sundae
That looks good! What is that?
If you’re wondering why I have four cherries, the girls don’t like cherries and I love them, so they always give them to me. Score!
Score!
we heard the opening fanfare of Happily Ever After! We ran out into the middle of Main Street and had a great view of the fireworks. For once, our indecisiveness was rewarded.
Yay! You got to see them!
I should say that these aren't the greatest pictures you'll see.
You did just fine.
I'm showing you this not because it's that great if a picture, but just to see the lower crowd on Main Street. Of course there's still lots of people, but there are actually spaces between everyone. It wasn't bad at all.
At first I thought "What are you talking about? Look at all of them!" But then I saw what you meant. Not shoulder to shoulder.
1. We’re off to EMH at Hollywood Studios. Do we ride Slinky Dog Dash this morning?
2. Where do we eat breakfast in the park?
3. We see two shows at DHS this morning. Which shows?
1.Yes. You missed FOP in AK, so I'm gonna say you were luckier with the FPs this time.
2.ABC Commissary
3.Beauty and The Beast show & The Little Mermaid show.
