"They've extended an hour?! I can make it!" March 13-19 TR - UPDATE 5/29 - Day 3

Yay on being able to eat at RC and having an incredible meal!! :thumbsup2

Lol at getting lost but am loving the photos you took whilst roaming AK! Am glad you managed to catch Finding Nemo and again lol at falling asleep!! Am sure having fun reading your updates! :)

Enjoy the school break in 8 days! It's a shame you didn't get to ride dinosaur and :eek: at the online check in - have heard quite a lot of disappointing reviews of checking in this way.

I wish I had taking more pictures! Sometimes I wish I had a better camera but I have to say, I think I took some half decent ones on this trip; you'll see what I mean later on!
Thank you! I still have 2 weeks but only 4 school days. Hopefully I can get my work done and pass those exams!

Just caught up with your TR! I love all of your pictures :goodvibes Can't wait to see what else happened...

lol thank youuuu!!! Sorry its taking me so long but with work, school, exams coming up, and a plethora of other complicated life issues I just havent been able to finish.

Great start to your TR. Can't wait to see what time you get up on your next day!:cool1:

thank you! lol I can't either, especially since I cannot remember! Lol no worries, itll come to me
 
So I was rifling through your PTR and it seems we were both at Pop at the same time, as well as Magic Kingdom at the same time. Hmm, maybe somewhere in my pictures, you are in the background. :)
 
ok I've made it over and am all caught up.:thumbsup2

We missed each other the first day, I had a DHS morning and you had a DHS evening, can't wait to see what you managed to do that evening
 

Hey Everyone!!! Sorry its been like a month!!! life has just been crazy and I just need to get back to this, so I've been working on an update. I was actually almost done with it and then it got deleted when my laptop died :/ I'll have an ipdate soon! Hope to see someone at least still there lol

Hey, am here looking forward to an update popcorn::

I hate that the laptop decided to die whilst you were doing an update.
 
soooo I forgot I hadn't updated the first night yet so here's the first night with little writing and mostly pictures and then you can read my actual update. lol enjoy!

after hanging out at the hotel I went over to DHS for EMH. I hung around for awhile and then Lili called me to she was on her way to MK for dinner. I headed over and we stayed until closing, which was 1 am. I bought an ice cream, we sat ourselves on main street, and we headed off to the hotel, where she decided to sleep over. thats about it in a nutshell. here are pictures!

Another update coming right after!!
 
So I know I'm an awful person and i just need to quit, but I will NOT quit this TR. I barely started, and its a rough job, but I will not give up and will continue with it until I'm finished. Sorry it has been forever but for those of you who will stick with me, thank you, and I love you.
First of all, I have to mention that I just recently got back from the The Great Scavenger Hunt over at Disney World. IDK if any of you were able to make it over, but it was a lot of fun and it was awesome seeing so many people come together for the love of Disney. One thing many people present have noted is the fact that it was SOOO EXHAUSTING. I was dehydrated by the end of the first park and almost did not make it to the second. We (me and Kendra, as noted in the intro of this TR) started in Magic Kingdom and that was probably the hardest. We finished and headed straight to the Cotemporary for lunch, where I took about a three hour nap on a couch. I was that tired. I woke up and I felt awful. I thought I had had enough water but I think that mixed with the 6 hours of sleep I had just made it for me. We got the EPCOT and I swore my lunch was gonna come back. Regardless of me giving up and just wanting it to happen so we could continue with the race, it never did. I felt better but not perfect. In the end, we ended up in ranking 236, but it doesn't matter. We had a lot of fun and I'm glad I did it!

Now, to return to this TR:

My friend decided to sleep over since we were in MK until 1 am. Well, one thing I forgot about my sweet lil' angel is that she snores like there is no tomorrow. We went to sleep at 2, she woke me up at 3, I tried to go back to sleep until 4, and I was out the door by 4:30. There was no way around it so I gave up and decided this was perfect timing to explore POP. Here are some of the pictures I got that I happen to be very proud of:

By the time it was around 7, I ate breakfast at the cafe and then headed over to the room. Lili was still sleeping so I got ready and then waited on her. She was off to go to work before she came back. I told her about my night and how she contributed to the unsuccessful sleep and we agreed it would be best if she just went home each night. We headed off in our own directions and soon enough I was at the gate of MGM, oh excuse me, DHS. I wanted to make rope drop for the little show but more importantly for those precious TSM fast passes. Well, it looks like i was a little late...

there were so many people I just had to sit and wait in the back near the shops. Soon enough I was able to make my way through and headed straight to TSM. WEEEEELL, the line was all the way to VOTLM, and I waited for about 10 minutes before giving up. I was exhausted and sick of the unmoving line for just fast passes that I gave up and headed for Streets. I wandered around here, alone, once again, and decided to watch Muppets. I took some pictures here while waiting

After leaving here, I pretty much gave up on my day and headed back to the hotel. I had a nice nap and woke up to Lili going crazy about my whereabouts. She picked me up, and we headed back to DHS for our ADR at Sci-Fi. I'll leave this update here so I can put this out ASAP. Hope you guys are still here and if you are thanks for the patience!!!
 
I want you to carry on with this TR as I enjoy reading it. I love all the DHS pics and wow at the nightime castle shots! They would look great as a desktop background :thumbsup2

Thanks for sharing more Pop pics - I agree with you in the sunrise shot is my favourite. That TSMM line sounds awful!

I'm glad you had fun at The Scavenger hunt! Look forward to reading more :goodvibes
 
Okay, so when I last left you all, me and Lili were on our way over to my 2 PM ADR at Sci-Fi. I may have forgotten some details on the last update. While we were on the tram, about to leave to the park, I notice a family friend passing us by. The tram was moving and she wasn’t on it. It’s my mom’s best friend and she happens to have an annual pass but who knew the odds of meeting up here? I called out for her and she barely saw me. I called her up and we decided to meet up inside the park after she renewed her pass. The time now was about 1:10 so we went inside and waited by the fountain on the corner of Sunset and Hollywood...or so I think. I’m not great with all those streets. A couple minutes later she joined us and we had a nice chat. Now, not to sidetrack, but we’re gonna get sidetracked since its a crucial part of my spring break. Here goes:


About a week before spring break, I got my ears pierced. It was exactly an “in-the-moment” type of event; I had thought about it for ages. I was really scared though since my family HATES piercings on men. I mean, we are all Christian and my aunts and mom are HIGHLY religious, so when it comes to stuff like this they like to blame it on our religion. I dont get it, but hey. So I was excited because of course when you get your ears pierced, you have to leave them in for about a month and stuff and I figured once I went back home (in TWO months) I could have them out and kinda just ask for forgiveness later, IF they found out (by they, I mean my mother and older sister, the people I come home to.) So just imagine, me with my new piercings, at Disney, and my mom’s BEST FRIEND is about to show up. I panicked but then figured, hey, this is great, I’ll just leave them in, and let her tell my mother, because that way I don’t have to tell her and by the time I come home she’ll have hopefully accepted. So that’s what I did and that’s where this side story takes a pause. It’ll get crazier later, believe me.



So we meet up with our friend and talk for a good while. She never says anything to me about my ears, btw. So at about 1:55, we decide we should get going because I have no idea where Sci-Fi is and its kinda late. We say our good byes and that’s that. We arrive at Sci-Fi rather on time (Perhaps the only ADR we made on time) and are told to wait and we’ll be called shortly. So we wait, and wait, and wait some more. We notice people behind us being called, and more importantly, COUPLES. We are a couple, why aren’t we being seated. After Lili harassing me for about 10 minutes, I decide to call them up. Apparently they forgot us. We wait another 5 minutes and are then seated in the back seat of a car. Dim lighting, movie on the projection, so far, this place wasn’t bad! Here are pictures, along with some earlier ones:

We meet our waiter and order our drinks. Before even make it to Disney, I had looked up the menu of every restaurant I made ADRs for and had decided what I wanted to order. Well, today, I was not feeling that burger I had anticipated to order. I, thinking I’m so smart, decide to order an appetizer and a dessert, since I’m always to full to order either. I started out with the Artichoke and Spinach, or something or other, dip and my water, and later asked for a hot fudge sundae or milkshake or idk, I can’t remember (I have awful memory guys:/)

IMG_1195.jpg


The dip was okay but the ice cream was awful. After awhile, we noticed the same clips we’re playing on the screen too. To top it off, our waitress was pretty bad. He showed up like maybe 3 times and it was always like 30 minutes apart. Overall, I really enjoyed the environment but I don’t think I would ever go back to like actually eat...probably just to sit there and act like im from the 50’s...or whenever drive-ins were prevalent. So that’s our experience at Sci-Fi. To be honest, after that I don’t remember much else. I believe we went to the Great Movie ride, which the more I think about it, the more I’m sure we did. We rode that around once and then, according to my pictures, we headed for a quick trip to the Animation Building before dropping of Lili at the tram. Here’s a rather sad photo of that along with one of the many Oscars Walt earned and me trying out for american idol:

After leaving, I went back to the Animation because I reeeeaaallly wanted to draw a character! I was never able to since my family wants to do everything in hurry and only do boring stuff so I was really excited. Before going in, I bought some new vinylmations for my collection:

IMG_1202.jpg


Soon after, class got started. It was a really awesome experience and if you ever want to try it, you should do it!!! Here’s my finished product:

I also took pics of other random as seen here

From then on, I had about 2 hours until Fantasmic. If you were following my PTR, you knew I had never seen Fantasmic and this was the day for it. I decided to do something never done before, the Backlot Tour, and then run over to the amphitheater. Here are my photos of that; I won’t talk about it since everyone has probably done it before.

IMG_1217.jpg

IMG_1214.jpg

I Loved this picture and I decided to edit it a bit to make it a little bit better since the lighting was off, as some of you may tell from the sunset.
IMG_1216-1.jpg


After the tour I pretty much booked it over to the amphitheater. It was pretty much full and it was an hour and half till showtime!!! Thank GOD I was alone! I was able to find a great seat in the front and read my book while waiting! Then I waited, and waited, and waited some more. Soon the show started and wow! I tried taking pics, but it was hard with my camera so eh.
Anyways, it was a great show! To be honest, I did feel like the hype of it was a little overboard. I was unimpressed :/ It was good though so I definitely recommend it.
After the show, I pretty much ran out of DHS and into my room. I was exhausted! I may have gone to MK but im still not sure...haha anyways thats it for this update. See ya tomorrow when I head over to EPCOT...or do I?
 
That's cool that you got to meet your family friend at Disney World!

Uh oh I hope getting your ears pierced doesn't come back to bite you. It is painful enough getting them pierced! Coming from a religious family myself I can relate to family being disappointed but sometime you gotta do what you gotta do.

:woohoo: on making it to Sci Fi on time! However, sounds like it didn't matter as they kept you waiting anyway. I'm sorry to hear you did not have a great time here.

I love the Power Ranger shots - used to watch that show all the time when I was younger.

Cool vinylmations and what a great drawing! :thumbsup2
