Now that things have sort of calmed down, I am going to do this update. Thanks for hanging in with me everyone!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our origianl plan for today called for a visit to the pool, a rest, and then a stroll on the Boardwalk. Those plans changed. Denise and the kids were going to DHS today and we decided to tag along becasue Jimmy was dying to ride Toy Story Mania again (and so was I! )
Mom was meeting us at 8:15 at DHS, so we were all ready and at the bus stop by 7:30. We made it to DHS in record time and I thought we'd have to wait for mom, but she was already there waiting for us!!!
We head over to the CM turnstile and we are first in line. As we are chatting my cell phone goes off telling me I have a text message. I check the message and the message says "I'm watching you Focker" I look around, and there at the other end of bank of turnstiles is T! I wave
. Boy, those Fockers sure are good stalkers
Before long they let us in, we get situated with tickets and strollers. Mom doesn't want to do the TSM death march again, so she heads out to go home. She has to work tonight.
We get to the place where they stop you. [We have the same plan as last time. Me and Andrew to ToT and RnRC while everyone else goes and gets FP's for TSM]. We get to the rope drop point and there are T, Andy, Maddie and Evan. TE and Waldo were not with them, Waldo wasn't feeling well.
We chat for a minute about our plans and T is trying to talk Evan into riding Tower of Terror. He is having NONE of that. So they are going to head right over and get TSM FP's too. We chat some more and then T spots Kate and her family a few groups behind us. I turn and we both wave to Kate
.
With that the silly preshow is over and the race is on. Andrew and I get to ToT and walk right on. We ride and then head over to RnRC which has a 20 minute wait. After we are done I call Jim to find out where they are. They were at VOTLM and it was just starting. Andrew and I make our way over to the Animation Courtyeard to meet them. We check out the store and just generally wander around until they come out. VOTLM was a hit with everyone, including Jim who likes Ariel's sea shells
From there we tried to get into the Animation Academy, but the last show had just started and the next one wasn't for another 20 minutes or so. We went on the Not So Great movie Ride. Denise and Andrew liked it. The kids didn't know any of the movies except Mary poppins and the Wizard of Oz, so it was lost on them. Me, I have seen this enough times to choke a horse and it really needs an update. (Jimmy didn't want to ride so he and Jim went to get a drink or something).
It is time for the TSM fastpasses so we head over in that direction. OMG, it is just as crowded as it was last week and no FP's left at 10:50am . We park the strollers and we get into line. I rode with Jimmy, Jim rode with Andrew and Denise rode with the 2 kids. My score was better than Jimmy's and that's all I will say about that
After our twirl through Andy's room we head over to Star Tours and the Jedi Training Academy was just starting so we watched that and Jimmy thought Darth Vader was skeery.
After the show Star Tours is showing a 5 minute wait. We hope in line. We all love Star Tours and it was Denise and the kids first time riding it. They thought it was fun.
From our trip to Endor and back we go and see Muppet Vision 3-D. Yes, its dated, but I love the Muppets.!!! (I was 2 when Sesame Street first came on the air. Go ahead you can figure it out
)
After Muppetvision it is lunchtime and since we were right there we decided to hit up TS Pizza Planet becasue I said to everyone how about some pizza for lunch and everyone said yes---
remember this! We set Jim, Andrew and the kids with a able outside (in the shade) and Denise and I go in to order food. As we are there, Denise says to me, where is the other stuff to eat. Say what? My kids won't eat pizza. Um, this place is called pizza planet, what do you think they sell here.
I sent her over to the Commissary to get them whatever.
Now PP is really crowded in the line area and some people can't figure out the whole get your stuff and exit on the other side of the pole thing. Also, they were just REALLY slow. Anyway, I am waiting my turn and I glance up and there just picking up their food and Kate's DH and her oldest DS L. I tried to get their attention, but they were so concentrated on not getting their stuff kncked out of their hands they didn't see me (or they did and they just ignored me
). It is finally my time to order. 20 minutes after I order I get our stuff and head out to the table. Denise is just coming back with the kids stuff. She got them, um no clue. We all had pizza and enjoyed it.
After lunch Andrew really wanted to see the Indiana Jones Stunt Show. Denise and I were going to take the kids to see Playhouse Disney. On our way the Power Rangers came out. So we took the time to see them. Jimmy wanted his picture taken, but only if I would go with him (Hey it's progress!).
Afterwards Jim and Andrew took off for Indiana Jones and we took off for Playhouse Disney. The kids loved Playhouse Disney, I just wish there was a ladyliek way to sit on the floor and not need a crane to get back up
When PHD was done I texted the boys. They were just finishing up and were on their way back to us. The kids wanted to see Beauty and the Beast, so Jim took Andrew back to RnRC to ride Single Rider.
We get some drinks and head into the B & B theater and 4 for a $1 are just starting. They were really good. It's the first time I had gotten to see them.
We all liked B & B.
The kids wanted to meet Buzz and Woody so we headed back to
Pixar Place to see if they were out. Andrew and Jimmy went
. We waited in line and they have some cute photo ops there.
Then it was time to meet Buzz and Woody. Again, Jimmy wanted a picture, but wanted me in the picture with him (This is on my Photopass which I haven't gotten yet)
After Buzz and Woody we head over to meet Mike and Sully. This was just a little too much for Jimmy so we waited while Rose and Matt got their picture taken and then headed back to meet the boys. On our way back we decided to hit the Backlot Tour (I think Jim and Andrew may have been riding RnRC again). This is an attraction that is just not the same since they cut so much out of it to make room for the LMA Stunt Show.
After this the boys were over by the big hat waiting for Block Party Bash to Start so we went over to meet them. How exciting is this parade. 1 kids fell asleep (Matt) and the other 2 almost fell asleep! Here are some pics of it.
By this time everyone was ready to call it a day. No one had any real interest in Fantasmic and the kids were looking to get some pool time. So we meet back up with the boys, but of course before we head out we have to do some shopping! After putting another hole in the CC we head out to the bus stop and our bus mojo is working again. There is a bus waiting for us and we are the only one's on it.
We get back to POP and make plans to meet in a half hour at the pool. We swim for a bit, grab some dinner at the Food Court, Swim some more, and then off for bath and bed.
Next Up...Magic Kingdom, Our last park Day!!!
) and again this place is just meh to me.
Just need the $ 
. I did the whole it'll be ok, we'll call your mom, it was an accident, etc., etc., etc. However on the inside I was doing this
Between this and Garden Grill closing I don't know where else jimmy will get to see Chip and Dale
Janet, you're killin me!
