I wouldn't call my dislike of ToT "hating" it... just a bit scared of it!Glad to see I'm not the only one to have heard mixed reviews about Tony's. You're right, there are much better places to eat at!
Time to get my groove on.
NO! I had failed. This would not do. I had to improve. I kept telling myself that this was only a warm up round. Yes, that's it. The next ride would be much better....
It seemed like the bird wanted to share its breakfast. Too funny!
I watched him dance and shake what his mama gave him, while Bubba tried to finish the rest of my tea. Finally, we finished it and entered the line. I got in my zone again. We came to the practice round and I fired upon the targets with brute force. I realized at that moment that my gun was not responding. I'd pull the string but only occasionally something popped out. This was not looking good. And it didn't end well. Our final scores came to this
It took a while to follow the links and clues from allears.
The destination of the day was....
I don't know how but we got here really early, like REALLY early.
We ended up skipping breakfast to be at the front of the line for, you guessed it, TOY STORY MANIA!!! They opened the turnstiles at around 8:30am and let us walk up the boulevard until we ran into this
See what writing a trip report does to you?
Then, oh yes ladies and gentleman, he focused his sore excuse for a hip and cool guy mojo on us. I tried to advert his gaze by looking at our feet.
And the crowd behind us was beginning to grow restless
At this point, Bubba was petrified
And what score did all this effort result in?
Bubba on left, me on right
I'm still kicking your butt! (gosh, now that I've opened my big trap, I hope I really can- says to self.....)
AHA! So my answer to DHS was right on the picture clue. I knew it had to be one of them (since you told me so).
This should be an indicator not to give up hope of guessing!
Anyway.... TSM. I have a bad feeling I won't even come close to yours OR Glennbo's scores. I will try though. I will try. 167,000- Number commited to long-term memory.
May the force be with you, young Skywalker
The scene sounds absolutely frightening! But I think it IS possible to ride it 3 times. So we'll follow your strategy and do it this way. FiP, ride, FiP.
Good plan. It worked for us!
Streetmosphere is fun and funny, but NOT in the AM when one is trying to focus!
As soon as I saw this I had to page down to see the result!
Dang, that IS early. You probably couldn't sleep, in anticipation of the competition looming before you.
No way, Jose! (hey that's the name of a sundae that I should've ordered, sigh) I was shaking with anticipation!
I can't believe you took a picture of the rope.
Terrible, terrible things. But look at the memories it provides!
I'm glad you included the score here -- I couldn't remember it and was afraid I was going to have to comb through my TR again. You didn't tell Bubba what your mission was?
I remember quite distinctly looking up your score before I left. I had to be sure I knew what was the score to beat
Aw c'mon, he's got a job to do. I wouldn't know the words either.
He was still annoying.
Nice try. I bet you stared at the desk a lot in school too.
And the ceiling....
Oh nice try....thanks for playing! Hee hee hee.
ARGH!
They have a pill you can take for that now.
It's not looking good, but I say yes, you will eventually beat my score....or lose use of your arm trying.
Ohhhhh, just you wait....
167,500! I think she scored 167,000 on her last trip. So close, but yet so far.
Them's fightin' words.
Alright, alright.... you can have your extra stinkin 500 points!
Every little bit counts! A mere 100 points can mean the difference between a win or a loss! And yes, be careful. Glen is quite competitive
Yeah, I want my 500 points! It's what's keeping me in front of Jenbear.
Careful....that kinda talk is what got Jenbear on a mission, up early to be at the front of the line for rope drop, enduring the restless crowds, and the TSM pandemonium, only to have a pop-gun that was too pooped to pop.
I'm sorry about the lame knock knock jokes. Last year we didn't make rope drop for anything but Animal Kingdom so we missed a lot of this kind of stuff.
Perhaps it was for the better...
****I suddenly just remembered something from Epcot that happened to us last time...a really weird CM came over (I THINK to do a survey) but he was being all spooky and freaky and after my husband and I exchanged glances of "has this guy been sniffing glue on his breaks?" I just walked away with one stroller (and a kid in it) and my husband quickly followed with the other (kid and stroller). He shouted something out after us too...I remember it being quite rude. (In his defense we were quite rude to walk away from him mid-sentence like we did, but there was no way I was going to stay when he was creeping me out like that.) Funny how I just thought of that...I guess I must have been repressing the memory all this time.****
I hate those survey people. When they pick me from the crowd, I try to answer their questions so it'll skew their results
Okay sorry, digression over. We also LOVED TSM and thankfully missed all the park opening hysteria. Bubba's face was awesome!!! It sure paints the picture and I'm surprised that she hadn't experienced it before like you.
You'd think living in Disney for a year, she'd experience the TSM pandemonium. But nope! It was her first time.
Does Luxor Jr. still make appearances? Sometimes I think the DIS is as much a curse as a blessing cause when you hear about something great but won't get there in time to check it out...the whole time you know what you are missing and ignorance is bliss...right??
So now I know what it looks like to be at the very front of the TSM line.....a spot I assure you that I will never see with my own eyes. Although I am somewhat intriqued because that's the way to do it! If its any consolation, your score is much better than mine. OK - so that's not much of a consolation, but I really enjoyed this update!
OK, now I KNOW you beat his score.
I won't give up on guessing; they may all be wrong, but I"ll keep guessing.
Good!
I want a gun that doesn't poop out!!! So it can out- poop Glenn's AND your score! I mean out-pop! I'm not even sure what I mean now...
Bek wants to know if Luxor lights up at night? Anyone know?? And where is he exactly?? This reminds me of a word I learned when reading a James Herriot book: Did you know when an eyeball pops out of the socket, it is called "luxated"?? Just thought you'd want to know that.
Luxor Jr is right by the entrance to TSM, to the right of the exit where you meet Woody and Buzz. I'm not sure if he lights up at night. The sightings of him are so few and far between that I don't know much about him
