Well my last update question was a trick one...we got into a bathroom line after the parade
Potty break aside, we had one ride in mind...
Well heat combined with 3 hours sleep combined with my motion sickness issue wasn't sounding like a good combination to yours truly. So I decided to sit out. The 3 kids, Randy, and Stacy braved it. When they got into the line-it was listing a 45 minute wait. It was 70 by the time I walked back around the building. Personally I had a mission...one that may have been aided by a Mickey Mouse ice cream sandwich
I took everyone's tickets and got FPs to Rockin Roller Coaster. I am sad to report that we never used them. Our return time was right before the park closed and we had other plans. FPs in hand, I decided that I would head to one of the special souvie shops that they had set up for SWW.
Those of you who have been to DHS will get this a little better but I walked from ToT to the Backlot Tour and back. It took AN HOUR. Yup, an hour
That's how bad the crowds were. And I walk fast. I was slightly slowed down because I had everyone's bags but I'm still fast. And I was on a mission. On such a fast mission that when i heard someone yelling "ma'am, ma'am" i thought nothing of it and kept going. The poor woman finally caught up to me in front of TSM (which now had a 120 standby) holding Kirsten (Aisling's AG doll
) Luckily that was all that I had lost.
I arrived at the Backlot Tour and was escorted into the souvie shop. Yes escorted. These SW people are really serious about their souvies
I entered and a CM asked if I wanted to see a price list. Again
What???? You can't just look around???? Nope! You had to go through a roped off area and tell the CMs what you wanted and they got it for you. $160 later and I was out of there in less than 2 minutes. And I don't like SW!!!!!!!!!!!
With more bags in hand, I headed back to ToT to meet up with the riders. On the way, I got stopped by the Streetmosphere performers
The guy kept yelling "Ma'am, Ma'am we rent strollers you know" I thought he was making fun of all the bags I was carrying! Until he said "you don't have to carry your baby in a backpack" These are the little touches that make me love Disney
Well in my hour trek across the park, everyone was back from their trip to the Twilight Zone. I handed out pressies to the little riders and then we decided that everyone was hungry and we should try to eat before battling Vader.
We headed over to Starring Rolls which despite the completely packed park was empty. Randy's cousin had highly recommended this place for lunch and it did not disappointed. I had the turkey sandwich, Randy had the ham, and Aisling had a PB and J (and meat from our sandwiches!)
Meals come with chips or a bakery good and a drink for your
DDP people
Kids Meals come with the usual choices
While Stacy was getting her and the boys' food, J demonstrated how hot it was...the paper was just sticking to him
Aisling returned the favor to Cooper (from the parade) and sprayed him down
As we were eating, we discovered why the restaurant was empty. 1) everyone was at the backside of the park at TSM/SWW and 2) if they weren't there, they were at Beauty and the Beast. The show let out and suddenly Starring Rolls was PACKED. Tip- visit here during the afternoon show.
We got done eating just in time to battle the crowds to get our little Padawans to their meeting spot!
I can't even image how the CMs in the costumes felt!
) Aisling watched the podcast with me and I'm telling you, she should work for DVC...she was more convincing than the video 
But how cute that the boys were fanning her!
So hoodies for the family and Aisling got a couple of things for camp (gotta love that summer stuff is already on clearance in mid-june!)
By the way, I also am a fast walker and have a hard time being stuck behind slow-walkers, so I can relate to how you must have been feeling on that long walk.
