The lazy TR, I'm making my 12 y/o write it LOL ~~~Finally Finished 4/12~~~

[askelton]

My favourite part in the ride was the Wizard of Oz and Bugsy Malone bits.

You so rock that you know who Bugsy Malone is.

I liked it more than last year but still didn’t want to go on again!

If you are Narnia fans, they have a great Prince Caspian meet with props from the movie. It's over by TSM. And if you are not a Narnia fan, Prince Capsian is a hottie, so well worth the meet (for the ladies)

We did see it and it never had a queue but we're not really into it

The photographer said, "Yeah, I know mom wants to get a picture with him."

You so rock that you know who Bugsy Malone is.

It's forever repeated on UK TV!

I forgot to say we actually gave away 2 TOT FP's

 

[englishrose47]

Jo YOU gave away ToT Fp's !!

 

[PrincessAlways]

Great update! Love the character pics! I love ToT, but I still get scared everytime! I think that's part of the fun!

 

[rachel3]

great update girls!!

i wonder why tsm was shut down so much?? i noticed when we went that the pull cords were started to get worn. i wonder how long before they have to replace them??!!!

 

[Figment's Friend]

Great photos! Crazy how Toy Story Mania was down so much, huh? And now for more stalking!

 

[PrincessV]

It was so great that Janet spotted us, her stalking skills were much better this year, LY Janet

Whilst we were waiting for our fast pass time, we headed over to TSM and guess what it is closed. Guess what????? It was raining!!

This is not the first I've heard of TSM being closed due to rain.

It's INDOORS! What could possibly be messed up by rain?! And it's not like Florida's rainy season is new to the Imagineers - build stuff that can work in the rain people!

 

[DisneyJo]

Jo YOU gave away ToT Fp's !!

Great update! Love the character pics! I love ToT, but I still get scared everytime! I think that's part of the fun!

Thanks and I agree the fun part is being scared

Thanks Rachel and TSM really is shut loads, I think it gets overloaded electrically

Great photos! Crazy how Toy Story Mania was down so much, huh? And now for more stalking!

Thanks, yeah TSM really does go down loads and yep some more stalking

I've never thought about it breaking down in the rain, how weird

[TyRy]

Hi Ladies,

I'm finally all caught up - thank you both for the great reporting!

Jess - thanks for the picture of the Mickey Head volcano...I'd seen pics of the volcano before, but never in the shape of a Mickey head! You are also very brave for going on ToT....I only went on the first time in 2006....thankfully I was sick this year and was able to avoid it!

And what a day with the hurricane coming in...how weird that the MK was empty yet you had to FP Malestrom

Looking forward to hearing more.

Ty

Part 2 (By the way there will be no pictures!!! !!)

We are at Sci-fi and we all are starving!!

We had to wait a little time but we don’t care we were like 20 minutes early!! Whilst we were waiting lots of names were called out. The wait staff looked weird as they were in old clothes. The Ladies had an apron round their waists, with a pink dress with a pattern on it!!

One of the ladies had a stitch hand on and she was our server!! Mum, Ellie and I were waiting impatiently and Dad kept wandering around. Mum looked over in the corner and guess who was there????

JANET and her family!!!

Mum knew she had an ADR and was looking all over for her!!! (Trust mum to be looking!!!)

A couple of minutes later our name was called well Mum’s name was called and we were called ‘Jo and ‘FAMILY’ Our seating place was excellent the front row and Ellie and I were in the front row of the car and Dad and Mum were in the second row. Behind us (the third row) was this man with this little boy he was very sweet!!



I knew Janet had a similar ADR to us so was on the look out for her, the place was packed though with hot and wet people all sheltering from the rain. We ended up waiting almost by the toilets! I saw Janet come in and after she’d booked in I went and said Hi. We chatted some and I was very impressed with her nephew Andrew he was a very polite boy who was very good at making conversation Anyway she was eventually seated and when the waiting area only had us in it we were finally called

We were shown to a car right at the front, which was great to start with but I ended up with a stiff neck so would definitely ask for a car near the back next time!



We all ordered the: Angus Chuck Burger - Flame-broiled beef patty topped with cheddar, sauteed onions, mushrooms and crispy bacon. French fries. But Mum and Ellie didn’t have mushrooms on theirs as they aren’t fans well they don’t like mushrooms!!

OMG they were gigantic!! They must have been twice the size of an English burger and so many fries. Dad and I finished every little bit but Mum and Ellie literally couldn’t eat anymore and they did well as far as I was concerned.

For drinks Ellie and Mum had an oreo milkshake, Dad had a coke and I had a Lemonade/Sprite (Lemonade is the English term.) For desserts we all had Cheesecakes to go!! I have never had a doggy bag before!!!



OMG the Oreo milkshake was delicious, I think that’s why I didn’t manage all my burger and we had to take dessert to go We like SciFi and would definitely dine there again!



We said our byes to Janet and left the restaurant and then headed out of the whole park. Well it must be about 3pm and we all wanted a swim, as we were all so sticky and hot from being in that restaurant. We were swimming in the rain and we thought it was great I think it was our first time swimming in the rain!!!

Once we had enough time in the pool we decided to head up to our room. We had showers and changed into different clothes. We got a phone call from V to say “We are going to the riverside food court if you want to meet us there.” Ellie and I were excited to see Leo. !! I couldn’t wait to see you too V but your son is so sweet!!

Once we got to the food court we saw them in the distance. We wandered over to them and we all hugged and said hi!! We got talking and Leo had finished his kiddie platter and introduced himself and we had a conversation with him!! He told us that his friends at school called him Skull!!! V said that wasn’t true but Leo said it was true!!?? Then Leo told us he had a sharks tooth and Ellie and I were in fits of laughter

We chatted for a long while and then we left them to finish their dinner and we went to the shop!! Then we started to get a little hungry and went back into the food court and this is when I started my salad marathon I love salads and they were massive. So as I have just explained I got a salad, Ellie, Mum and Dad shared 2 different pastas.



Meeting V again was great and Leo was just adorable, his skull and shark tooth stories were hilarious, I’m glad you called V

Jess loved the make your own salad bar at POR, she could choose exactly what she wanted and they made it up as you watched, very fresh and delicious



Once we had finished we decided to back to the room and had a midnight well 8pm night swim and it was still lovely and warm.

Tomorrow is shopping though mum tried to delay it!!!



Click here for next day!

 

[Goofyluver]

A chapter all about eating! I can get behind that!!!

Great job ladies!

 

[Diamondintheruff]

We did lots of swimming in the rain too! Okay I fess up. I never swam in the rain but DH and kids did.

The oreo milkshake sounds lovely. Did it have cookie bits in it?

Tomorrow is shopping though mum tried to delay it!!!

It's usually DH in our family who tries to delay it. DD and I together tend to get carried away. For instance we bought the rainbow sequin mickey shoes for her one day on our own. Another time we did the pick a pearl in Japan (that might have been the night I first saw you) and made a necklace. She still hasn't worn either of them.

gee, wonder why so many Americans (like me!) have weight issues...

Tomorrow is shopping though mum tried to delay it!!!

Was she nervous about driving in the rain?

Glad you had a nice afternoon and evening.
