[disneyAndi14]

Rapid Fire MK

We were running a little behind schedule because of “Karen”. My plan was to get deep into Fantasy Land to watch HEA. I had asked Helen if she wanted to see the projections or enjoy the fireworks and music with less crowds. She opted for the 2nd choice! Good call.

We took the monorail over to MK since it is the first stop from GF.

Main Street was packed, however, one good thing people were staying put so this helped us navigate to FL.

I told H & D to just follow me. We made our way back to FL through the sea of people to find a perfect spot to view HEA.

The show was going to start in just a few minutes. I know some people don’t like to watch from back here because you do have to turn a few times to see all the fireworks. To me, small price to pay for a low crowd spot with fireworks happening all around you!

We all loved the show. Most of you know I love Moana and this part of HEA is my absolute favorite


We slowly worked our way to PPF close to the end of the fireworks and entered the queue with very few people.

We waited maybe 10 minutes to ride. Perfect evening for me, fireworks and PPF with low crowds.

There was still about 20 minutes before the EMH began at 10pm so we decided to ride IASW. This was a walk on. We got the giggles in here because I was telling H&D about the guy who took all his clothes off and was walking through the water at IASW in Disneyland.

We laughed the whole ride, each with a visual of this. Helen’s name was at the end of the ride. I haven’t seen my name in quite sometime. Oh yeah I forgot to mention H&D’s MB+ did so many fun vibrations and colors during HEA and on IASW.

I have a MB+ and wore mine a few times this trip and mine literally worked for only an hour or so. It was fully charged so I am not sure what the problem was.

Once we exited IASW I showed the pictures of the naked guy walking in the water at IASW. Poor guy but he did give us the giggles

The park was now open for the deluxe resort guests only and wow it was quiet.

We went to HM and walked right on. H loved this and definitely wanted to ride again.


We decided to go do a few other rides first. I didn’t realize JC was not open during the EMH so we did PotC and BTMRR. I rode by myself again to brace myself for the bumps. This ride at night does seem more wicked.
I’m trying to be a pirate with an eye patch and peace sign I look like I am picking my nose!

I had done the VQ for Tron at 6pm for the EMH and it was our time. D did not want to ride at all so I had just done the VQ for H and I. Well, we both were still feeling full from dinner and decided to not do it. I was game but H really was not feeling it.

Instead, we did HM, WtP, and PPF one more time before calling it a night. It was probably right before midnight when we walked out.

This 2 hour EMH is worth it at MK. I highly suggest doing this if you are at a deluxe resort.

We rode 6 rides at a leisurely pace with very low waits. You could definitely ride BTMRR multiple times if that is your thing!

I don’t remember having to wait long for a bus and I know we had a seat so win win

This was a wonderful evening.

Stay tuned for a fun morning at Epcot!

 

[pkondz]

Tell us how you really feel

I believe I've made my position clear.

You need to try the China soda, research purposes

The things I do for the betterment of humanity...

All the changes! The waffle scandal is really a big thing!

Watergate...
Iran-Contra...
Pale in comparison to Waffle-gate.

I like the pre planning aspect of it and the rolling FP being back. The one problem is having to pay for it ugh! I’m thinking it will start at $30 this is double the cost of Genie+ when it started, crazy

Hard to believe that Disney would charge extra for something.


ahem

 

[pkondz]

I have created Disney lovers in my sisters now! The cruise will be amazing As long as we don’t get the sick

Positive vibes!

Yes it looks really cool Here are some pictures, thanks to google and Disney Parks blog

I would go on that cruise just for that.

 

[pkondz]

We were running a little behind schedule because of “Karen”.

Karen is MIA!

My plan was to get deep into Fantasy Land to watch HEA.

My plan is to always get deep into the fantasy of Disney while I'm there.

I had asked Helen if she wanted to see the projections or enjoy the fireworks and music with less crowds. She opted for the 2nd choice! Good call.

Interesting. I've only done it from Main street or the Plaza (dessert party)

I know some people don’t like to watch from back here because you do have to turn a few times to see all the fireworks. To me, small price to pay for a low crowd spot with fireworks happening all around you!

I think I might try that, next time, if I'm not doing a dessert party.

We slowly worked our way to PPF close to the end of the fireworks and entered the queue with very few people.

We waited maybe 10 minutes to ride.

Perfect evening for me, fireworks and PPF with low crowds.

we decided to ride IASW.

Perfect evening ruined!!!

We got the giggles in here because I was telling H&D about the guy who took all his clothes off and was walking through the water at IASW in Disneyland.

You were hoping for a repeat performance?

Oh yeah I forgot to mention H&D’s MB+ did so many fun vibrations and colors during HEA and on IASW.

First I've heard of anyone saying anything about them. Pro, con, or otherwise.

Once we exited IASW I showed the pictures of the naked guy walking in the water at IASW. Poor guy but he did give us the giggles

Hey! The water was cold!

We went to HM and walked right on. H loved this and definitely wanted to ride again.

Of course she did. Both the loving part and the wanting to ride again part.

JC was not open during the EMH

Bummer. But I suppose not overly surprised. Takes a much larger staff to run, I'd think.

I’m trying to be a pirate with an eye patch and peace sign I look like I am picking my nose!

This 2 hour EMH is worth it at MK. I highly suggest doing this if you are at a deluxe resort.

Considering I usually stay at POP or ASMu... that might be a tough one for me.

 

[Stacybaeasm]

Yay for your next 2 Christmas trips!!! They both sound amazing. I haven't done a cruise yet. Maybe someday. I'm a little "freaked" about going on a ship after hearing about the experiences of some of my friends who work on cruise ships when the great pause happened. I know it is all in my head but my head is pretty powerful and keeps me from some things.

I honestly don't know how I feel about the multi-pass. In some ways - I'm glad to go back to getting to pre-book 3 but...what if I don't need it that day? That's the one thing I enjoyed about the current system, if the day before had shown me that I didn't really need it, I could not book it. This way, I'm kind of locked in to pre-paying. I guess time will tell.

And for food - I don't think the nutella waffle is completely gone, just changed. I heard you could still get it but it is 2 separate fruits (not the berries and the bananas in the same one??) but you could get a side of berries for $1 and add it. I actually have never had the waffle so I don't really know what I am missing.

You had a great MK night!!! I never stay deluxe any more but maybe I'll have to go back to that sometime and try the evening hours.

 

[Wood Nymph]

We've watched the fireworks from near FL and it was very exciting. Rockets were sailing over our heads, or at least it felt like it. But I think I prefer to watch from the Hub.

It looks like you made good use of deluxe hours. And it didn't cost extra to do it.

 

[amazingact21]

You have some wonderful holiday plans lined up! The HM bar on the Treasure sounds so cool, and the Palo brunch is amazing. It's been almost 13 years since I've done it, but I still remember the delicious offerings. You and your sisters will have a great time!
And hooray for another DIS friend trip. Will there be another bar crawl? Please say yes!

EMH at MK is the best park to take advantage of. You can get so much done in those few hours. Two times on PPF sounds like a fantastic evening to me.

 

[disneyAndi14]

Watergate...
Iran-Contra...
Pale in comparison to Waffle-gate.

Very true! I have never seen so much uproar over a Nutella waffle ever!! I’m going to be honest we never tried the waffles because of Andi’s allergies so no loss for me!

Hard to believe that Disney would charge extra for something.

I know, roll eyes I’m waiting to hear how much the new /old (free) service is now going to cost!

I would go on that cruise just for that.

Doesn’t it look amazing! I’m so excited for this cruise.

Karen is MIA!

Karen should hadpve been a spy she was covert and gone for long periods of time!

My plan is to always get deep into the fantasy of Disney while I'm there.

Haha very true. Andi spent her teen years diving deep into the Disney history and I learned so much!

think I might try that, next time, if I'm not doing a dessert party.

If we aren’t doing a dessert party this is where you can find us. Being short is not fun on Main Street or the hub!

Perfect evening ruined!!!

I again thought you would be very disappointed we did IASW.

First I've heard of anyone saying anything about them. Pro, con, or otherwise.

I think the MB+ are way to expensive for what you get They never seem to work correctly and there is no rhyme or reason to the flashing lights and buzzing In my opinion

Considering I usually stay at POP or ASMu... that might be a tough one for me.

Yeah, another “free” perk for all resort guests gone! Bring back EMH for everyone and an hour in the morning!!

 

[hpygrll]

Hooray for your first Disney cruise! We're doing our first one August 2025 and when I pull up the countdown in the app it just makes me laugh because it's SO far away!

 

[pkondz]

Very true! I have never seen so much uproar over a Nutella waffle ever!! I’m going to be honest we never tried the waffles because of Andi’s allergies so no loss for me!

And I'm not a fan of Nutella, so... I too am okay if it goes.

I know, roll eyes I’m waiting to hear how much the new /old (free) service is now going to cost!

It almost doesn't matter. Disney knows people will pay.
They keep hiking prices and adding fees and removing services and... the parks are still at capacity.

Doesn’t it look amazing! I’m so excited for this cruise.

If we aren’t doing a dessert party this is where you can find us. Being short is not fun on Main Street or the hub!

No, I suppose not. But... I dunno... the nostalgia level is very high. The first time I did fireworks was from Main Street back in '78

I again thought you would be very disappointed we did IASW.

I think the MB+ are way to expensive for what you get They never seem to work correctly and there is no rhyme or reason to the flashing lights and buzzing In my opinion

That's how I feel. I get enough stimulus/enjoyment from what's in the parks... I don't need a buzzing/flashing bracelet.
"Did you see that! Wow! That was amazing!"
"No. I was staring at my wrist."

Yeah, another “free” perk for all resort guests gone! Bring back EMH for everyone and an hour in the morning!!

 

[franandaj]

I’m sure life is really different for you now and I am so sorry for your loss.

Thanks, it is so different, some days I'm not even sure how to proceed.

I’m just happy to see you traveling and I love following along on FB when I see you on a trip or out eating a fancy meal!

That's how I take consolation. This morning I found myself wondering if I enjoy all the traveling and entertaining, or would rather be staying home like we used to. It's a difficult choice.

Today we took our time, I noticed H takes a long time to get ready,

Yes, I've noticed when traveling with others that not all of them are on the same type of schedule as you may want to be. That's one reason that Jill and I travel well together. We seem to have very similar ideas about how long to lay around and when to get up and get going.

I did not buy Genie+ today. I did buy a fancy ride for GotG for us. The cost for 3 was $44.37.

That's not bad. I think it was $18 each when we bought it.

We made our way over to the IG. I love this entrance, even though it is far from the front, it is still very magical!

Since I own at the Beach Club, I'm very familiar with the IG, and love it for an entrance to Epcot.

H has a sensitivity for coconut and this does have a small amount on top so she skipped trying it.

I just despise coconut in general!

She was looking at some Disney themed t shirts and wanted to buy one.

Ha! Three quarters of my wardrobe is Disney T-shirts!

We have a special dinner tonight and yes, it makes me cry In a happy way!

Oooh, intrigued.....

We had went back and forth on restaurants and after I watched a review of the recently reopened 1900 Park Fare, I was sold on it! The food reviews were great, character interaction awesome and oh yeah the Wishing Ceremony!

This was Fran's favorite restaurant to dine at because of the Strawberry Soup.

Anyways Andi won’t go within 50 feet of a buffet nowadays.

I'm not that squeamish, but they are not my favorite.....

Now looking back, I wonder if this is where I got my sickness?

It's entirely possible.....You never know what you're going to pick up at a buffet.

Everything was very fresh and so far we were pleased.

That's good to know! The Prime Rib looked perfectly cooked.

How about a little Strawberry soup for dessert with a parade of characters? Yes please! I love this! It seems so weird but it is yummy

This was our entire reason for dining here. Fran would have at least 2-3 bowls of Strawberry Soup every time we dined there.

Our review:

4 out of 5 stars and that mainly not a 5 experience was because of our server and the character attendant.

Well that sucks that the server wasn't attentive. I've actually never had character attendants there. We always have to take pictures of each other with the characters.

 

[franandaj]

What are you all thinking about the new/basically the old FP system coming in July?

I haven't heard anything about it....other than there are some changes! I've been so busy I haven't been able to follow any Disney News!

Join in and tell me what you all think! Inquiring minds want to know!

Like I said, I haven't heard much, but now I'm going to have to do some research ahead of my trip in December!

I am booked on my first Disney Cruise

Yay! You're going to love it! And I can't wait to hear about the Treasure. I've heard they have an Aristocats Lounge!

We definitely want to do the Brunch at Palo on a sea day and make use of the adult only sections and the Spa area!!

That's what one does when traveling without kids on a Disney Cruise!

I also booked our December trip for this year!
Susan and I are returning to WDW since we had such a wonderful time last year!

So are you still missing Jill and I by just a couple days? We arrive on the 10th of December.

 

[franandaj]

We took the monorail over to MK since it is the first stop from GF.

Main Street was packed, however, one good thing people were staying put so this helped us navigate to FL.

I told H & D to just follow me. We made our way back to FL through the sea of people to find a perfect spot to view HEA.

Always better when you have a veteran to navigate the crowds!

We all loved the show. Most of you know I love Moana and this part of HEA is my absolute favorite

We say HEA at bar #4 of our Monorail Crawl (from Trader Sams outside bar), so while I know I enjoyed it, I don't remember much about it.

We waited maybe 10 minutes to ride. Perfect evening for me, fireworks and PPF with low crowds.

Awesome!

I was telling H&D about the guy who took all his clothes off and was walking through the water at IASW in Disneyland.

That comes up every time we ride IASW! Every. Time.

We went to HM and walked right on. H loved this and definitely wanted to ride again.

I miss our HM. We won't see it until 2015.

I’m trying to be a pirate with an eye patch and peace sign I look like I am picking my nose!

This 2 hour EMH is worth it at MK. I highly suggest doing this if you are at a deluxe resort.

We rode 6 rides at a leisurely pace with very low waits. You could definitely ride BTMRR multiple times if that is your thing!

I will keep that in mind, for our next visit!

 

[disneyAndi14]

Yay for your next 2 Christmas trips!!! They both sound amazing. I haven't done a cruise yet. Maybe someday. I'm a little "freaked" about going on a ship after hearing about the experiences of some of my friends who work on cruise ships when the great pause happened. I know it is all in my head but my head is pretty powerful and keeps me from some things.

I am over the moon excited for the cruise it is so far off at this point but definitely something to look forward to! I’m looking forward to this December in WDW and USO! I bought a cute Grinch sweatshirt for Universal! I want to see the Grinch show.

I honestly don't know how I feel about the multi-pass. In some ways - I'm glad to go back to getting to pre-book 3 but...what if I don't need it that day? That's the one thing I enjoyed about the current system, if the day before had shown me that I didn't really need it, I could not book it. This way, I'm kind of locked in to pre-paying. I guess time will tell.

I like the pre booking aspect of it. The price and how it actually functions will be another huge topic of discussion! Andi and I really made use of FP+ in the past so hoping this will be the same except now you have to PAY!!

And for food - I don't think the nutella waffle is completely gone, just changed. I heard you could still get it but it is 2 separate fruits (not the berries and the bananas in the same one??) but you could get a side of berries for $1 and add it. I actually have never had the waffle so I don't really know what I am missing.

I honestly never tried anything there, line was always way to long and Andi is allergic to Nutella so I really don’t care about the changes there but I will really miss the hush puppies at CHH!

You had a great MK night!!! I never stay deluxe any more but maybe I'll have to go back to that sometime and try the evening hours.

It was really fun and I’m glad we made use of the EMH, it was worth it!

We've watched the fireworks from near FL and it was very exciting. Rockets were sailing over our heads, or at least it felt like it. But I think I prefer to watch from the Hub.

Yes it really is a 360 degree experience. I’m very short/small/petite and the hub/MainStreet swallows me up and I can’t see a thing on the castle anyways so FL works best for me!

It looks like you made good use of deluxe hours. And it didn't cost extra to do it.

We really enjoyed the low crowds with the EMH!

You have some wonderful holiday plans lined up! The HM bar on the Treasure sounds so cool, and the Palo brunch is amazing. It's been almost 13 years since I've done it, but I still remember the delicious offerings. You and your sisters will have a great time!
And hooray for another DIS friend trip. Will there be another bar crawl? Please say yes!

I’m so excited for this. It is far far away at this point but really something exciting to look forward to and The Treasure will have about a year under her belt so I can watch a ton of videos before hand!

EMH at MK is the best park to take advantage of. You can get so much done in those few hours. Two times on PPF sounds like a fantastic evening to me.

It really is. It was crazy riding PPF 3x this trip without using Genie+ just stand by, awesome!

Hooray for your first Disney cruise! We're doing our first one August 2025 and when I pull up the countdown in the app it just makes me laugh because it's SO far away!

Yay to new Disney cruisers! I’m so excited even though it is way out there in the future! Gives me time to save $$ and learn about everything I can before hand!

 

[disneyAndi14]

It almost doesn't matter. Disney knows people will pay.
They keep hiking prices and adding fees and removing services and... the parks are still at capacity

It really is crazy. They are pushing it to see how far they can go before people start saying no! Not happening yet!

No, I suppose not. But... I dunno... the nostalgia level is very high. The first time I did fireworks was from Main Street back in '78

Ahhh that is really true! That is why we miss Wishes so much, the memories and nostalgic memories are always there!

That's how I feel. I get enough stimulus/enjoyment from what's in the parks... I don't need a buzzing/flashing bracelet.
"Did you see that! Wow! That was amazing!"
"No. I was staring at my wrist."

Yeah, waste of $45.00 in my opinion

Thanks, it is so different, some days I'm not even sure how to proceed.

I’m sure it is!

That's how I take consolation. This morning I found myself wondering if I enjoy all the traveling and entertaining, or would rather be staying home like we used to. It's a difficult choice.

I can only imagine!

Yes, I've noticed when traveling with others that not all of them are on the same type of schedule as you may want to be. That's one reason that Jill and I travel well together. We seem to have very similar ideas about how long to lay around and when to get up and get going.

This is why Andi and I travel so well together. We are always well almost always on the same page with our traveling itineraries!

That's not bad. I think it was $18 each when we bought it.

No it really wasn’t. For GotG so worth it!

Since I own at the Beach Club, I'm very familiar with the IG, and love it for an entrance to Epcot.

I love the Epcot resorts!

I just despise coconut in general!

Haha both you and @pkondz

Ha! Three quarters of my wardrobe is Disney T-shirts!

Same with me and I always need more, lol

This was Fran's favorite restaurant to dine at because of the Strawberry Soup.

The Strawberry soup is delicious

That's good to know! The Prime Rib looked perfectly cooked.

My food was really good and definitely worth the cost with the Prime Rib and the characters

This was our entire reason for dining here. Fran would have at least 2-3 bowls of Strawberry Soup every time we dined there.

I can see that. I made my sisters try it and they really liked it!

Well that sucks that the server wasn't attentive. I've actually never had character attendants there. We always have to take pictures of each other with the characters.

Yeah our server wasn’t the best and I have had the character attendants take pictures for us many times but this guy was MIA, like “Karen” lol

 

[disneyAndi14]

I haven't heard anything about it....other than there are some changes! I've been so busy I haven't been able to follow any Disney News!

So many changes with food items, menus, and now the new multiple lane system, aka old FP+ with a hefty price tag I am sure

Yay! You're going to love it! And I can't wait to hear about the Treasure. I've heard they have an Aristocats Lounge!

I’m so excited! It is eons away at this point but I’m really looking forward to it!

That's what one does when traveling without kids on a Disney Cruise!

Yes, we will be hitting all the kid free lounges, spa, and adult only pool area!

So are you still missing Jill and I by just a couple days? We arrive on the 10th of December.

Yes, can you two add a few days and come early? We would love to see you! Our trip is 12/5x12/9. Such a bummer we will miss you by one day, ugh

We say HEA at bar #4 of our Monorail Crawl (from Trader Sams outside bar), so while I know I enjoyed it, I don't remember much about it.

Haha best way to enjoy it with a drink in hand!

That comes up every time we ride IASW! Every. Time.

I can see that! Both my sisters had no clue and had quite a giggle over it, just like we did with the magician dude!

I miss our HM. We won't see it until 2015.

Is it getting refurbed?

I will keep that in mind, for our next visit!

If you can make use of the EMH at MK it is worth it!

 

[disneyAndi14]

A “Poohtastic” morning!

We slept in a little this morning. Enjoyed coffee and a few breakfast goodies on the deck.

I wanted to go into Epcot this morning to get my AP magnet and look at some of the topiaries.

H wanted to take her time and decided to stay at the resort.

D and I walked over to Epcot. It was a beautiful morning.

The walk over was wonderful in the morning. It wasn’t to hot yet and crowds were low at the IG.

We walked slowly through the UK and headed towards Connections to get my magnet. We stopped along the way to get a few pictures of the beautiful topiaries.

Coco

Encanto

The AP magnet line was not very busy this morning so I waited for my magnet and met D in the store once I had it.

Here it is, (ahhh the little things)

I wanted to get some pictures f the topiaries. I love the addition of the succulents these last couple years. Figment is adorable and I sent this picture to Andi.

Here is Pluto and Mickey

I found a PhotoPass spot. I love the magic shot here.



We made our way back to the UK and I wanted to see if Pooh was doing a meet and greet in Christopher Robin’s bedroom. This is in the back of the Pavilion area. There was only one person meeting with Pooh when we walked up. It was perfect!

We had the nicest meet up with Pooh Bear. He was really sweet and the character attendant was awesome. She took quite a few pictures for us. No PhotoPass here.


We had a fun time in Epcot even though it was just a short trip this morning.

This is such a nice thing about staying at the Epcot resorts.

We walked back and met up with H at the resort.

Stay tuned for our visit to DHS, coming up soon!

 

[pkondz]

It really is crazy. They are pushing it to see how far they can go before people start saying no! Not happening yet!

Not happening, but... there are more and more people, especially families, who can't afford it anymore.
I'm sure Walt wouldn't have wanted that.
"Disney. Where children can't come and play. Sorry kids. Solo adults only."

Ahhh that is really true! That is why we miss Wishes so much, the memories and nostalgic memories are always there!

Yeah, waste of $45.00 in my opinion

I agree. I certainly have zero plans on getting one.

We slept in a little this morning.

wait.... this is possible??

D and I walked over to Epcot.

I love that about the Boardwalk resorts. Such a huge perk. Plus the boats!

I'm not really one for topiaries, but... I do like all the colours on Dante.

I hate to break it to you, but... someone took a bite out of your magnet. I'd ask for another.

That is a really nice pic.

I wanted to see if Pooh was doing a meet and greet in Christopher Robin’s bedroom. This is in the back of the Pavilion area.

Wait... what? Is this new? First I've heard of this.

Awww... Great picture.

 

[Wood Nymph]

We made our way back to the UK and I wanted to see if Pooh was doing a meet and greet in Christopher Robin’s bedroom. This is in the back of the Pavilion area. There was only one person meeting with Pooh when we walked up. It was perfect!

This has got to be the most well-hidden meet and greet location of any character. It isn't well marked. But it is probably one of the least busy ones.

 

[disneyAndi14]

“Where are we?”

We picked H up at the YC and took the boat over to DHS.

I had been stacking the Genie+ for our park day.

The boat ride over is such a relaxing way to travel. Our magician wasn’t on this ride but just wait, he makes a stunning return later this evening!

We had a Slinky Dog up first so headed to TSL and it was surface of the sun hot over there!

This was H’s first time riding this and she loved it. Here is are unflattering picture! I love this ride! It is my rollercoaster speed!

I was able to get a Swirling Saucers for right after Slinky so off we went to twirl around with the aliens! Oooh awww as they say! The music is the best.

We decided to get a little snack at my favorite place ever!!

Any guesses? Baseline Taphouse of course! We had an earlier dinner ADR coming up so we shared the delicious pretzel with the beer cheese and mustard sauce and an order of the spiced almonds! I had the best beer this time, it was the Golden Road Mango Cart. This was very light with a hint of mango. The spiced almonds went so well with the beer. You can’t just have one of those.

We decided on the Muppet’s show next, it is a favorite of mine and just across the way from Baseline.

Our “fancy ride” for Rise was next. Let me cause some sticker shock right now with the cost of things, lol

Rise for the 3 of us today was $70.29 that was tax included. Genie + today tax included for 3 was $79.89.

The price you have to pay to have fun these days!

H had never experienced Rise so this was a must for us as was Genie+ to get SDD, also new to her.

She loved Rise and everything was working on the ride including all the Kylo animatronics, yay!

Next up was ToT, this was a first for D. H had rode once before in 2013 and she remembered liking it.

Verdict? We all loved it, except where are we?

This was the elevator where everyone put there arms up! You can’t even see H at all.

We had MMRR next. Everyone enjoyed this attraction once again and I am less salty and bitter about losing the GMR.

The GMR holds so many memories for Andi and I. She was convinced at one time this was the job she wanted. She had the entire narration memorized. I can’t even tell you how many times we rode the attraction! We even got the rare cowboy scene several times instead of the mob scene. “You dirty rat”

We had some time before our ADR so we checked on the Frozen sing along but we just missed a show so we went to Indiana Jones and walked right in. A show was just going to start. We all enjoyed this show. I haven’t seen this in a very long time. They don’t have audience participation any more but still a fun show.

I made a LL for Star Tours for right now and we did this before heading into Sci Fi for our Fantasmic dining package. Our ADR was at 4:30. We barely had time to use the restroom before I got the table ready text.

I love this place! I know the food isn’t award winning but the experience and the total change from a hot, steamy, usually always packed DHS, to this perfect oasis is awesome!

The only problem 3 people dining here is difficult with the car setup. H and D sat in the front and I sat behind them. H had never been here so I wanted those two in the front. I have actually lost count of how many times I have been.

The Fantasmic package was an appetizer or dessert, a soda, and entree. We did 2 appetizers to start with. We had the fried dill pickles and the onion rings. Both were good and had good dipping sauces. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with fries for my entree. H had the Chicken Salad Sandwich on a multigrain croissant and D had the Bahn Mi Burger, this was a house made pork patty topped with pork belly, pickled vegetables, cucumber, and a sriracha aioli.

We all decided my burger was the best choice, D’s choice was 2nd and the chicken salad was just meh the croissant was super dry.

We had so much food, way more than we could eat! I would normally not do a package but I really wanted good seats for Fantasmic and didn’t want to sit around for over an hour before the show. Time is valuable as well.

We shared the Hot fudge Sundae for dessert. This was just a good old fashioned treat! I didn’t take food pictures here because it is so dark in there.

Overall we had a nice dinner and our waiter was really good. He refilled our drinks and I love the old fashioned fountain drinks here with the vanilla or cherry syrup.

We had a TSMM after dinner. I was a beaver once again.

We decided to check out the stores before leaving for a little rest. Fantasmic was at 9pm tonight. I bought a long sleeve shirt and H found a cute Minnie one.

We made our purchases and took the Skyliner for something different.

Coming up as soon as I can post it, our DHS evening!
