Happy St. Patrick's Day! That picture of Mickey is precious!

HAHAHA I LOVE that episode of Friends! A few years ago I borrowed a pair of my sister's shorts and she got all mad about it, so I did the Joey lunge in them! You and I are seriously long lost friends...we have too much in common!

WOW...I am seriously impressed with your TSM awesomeness. I shall call you, Mad Dash Master.

Writer's Stop is so cozy! It reminds me of a college coffee shop or something, only ten million times for amazing!

Doesn't everyone do the Joey Lunge to limber up? Just like everyone categorizes their towels (into 11 categories no less) Seems perfectly normal to me, and calisthenics are always a good idea in the morning.

 

[Nermel9]

I knew as soon as I read the title to this chapter it was gonna be a good one! That is one of my favorite Friends episodes EVER! Although, I suppose if you love that show, it has to be a favorite, it's classic! My DH quote and I quote it all the time! I quote it at work and people look at me like I'm insane, and then I have to explain it...ugh...why can't I just work with people that are obsessed with Disney and Friends where I don't have to constantly explain myself all day? " I'm not gonna go commando in another man's fatigues."

Anyway, your mad dashing sounds pretty successful! I almost attempted the mad dash in October (I didn't get there in my TR yet) but then decided against it, but I'm ready to do it in May! Although, I've read they don't really do the mad dash anymore, which kind of makes me happy, I don't really feel like madly dashing to ride a ride at 9:00 in the morning...

I love everything about that ride! The ring toss is hard! I have yet to break 200,000! As long as I keep beating my DH though, I'm happy!

Isn't the Writer's Stop the best place on Earth? Ok, that might be a little dramatic, but it's just SO cute, this little hidden away corner of DHS with the best cookies ever!! I don't know what's better, Starring Roles or Writer's Stop, they're both perfect!

OMG that is so hilarious that you did that! And yes... I can totally tell we would get along in real life!

MAD DASH MASTER!!! Oh, I love it!! Hear that everyone? I'm the MAD DASH MASTER! Make way!!

A college coffee shop.. you hit the nail on the head there! But like you said, even more amazing.

Doesn't everyone do the Joey Lunge to limber up? Just like everyone categorizes their towels (into 11 categories no less) Seems perfectly normal to me, and calisthenics are always a good idea in the morning.

Sigh... Unfortunately everyone does NOT do the Joey Lunge to limber up. I wish they did because that is the kind of world I want to live in. And oh man, Monica with her crazy towels and placement of the Phone Pen and her ribbon cabinet. Best show ever!

hahahaha there are just so many CA-LASS-IC moments of that episode. I agree, if everyone was obsessed with Friends and Disney, the world would be a better place.

They don't do it anymore? Where did you read that? I don't know, I find it highly unlikely! Everyone wants to get on TSM so bad in the morning. And who can blame them? I'm not a big fan of mad dashing either but it's one of those things I just wanted to experience and I'm glad I did. It was crazy, but fun.

Ahh It's hard to compare the two, they're both so amazing!

Well, I'm not sure if it's 100% true or not, but I've read on some TR's and in the Theme Parks and Strategies section that they unofficially open DHS now at 8:30 or 8:45. So if you're smart, you will get there at 8:30, and instead of holding everyone in front of the hat until 9, they just let you in to go get your FP's for TSM AND TSM is already open, so you can just get right on! I'm really hoping this is true, because I'm planning to get there at 8:30 when we go in May and skip the whole mad dash! It makes sense, but I feel like once more people catch on, then the mad dash will just start at 8:30 instead of 9, but for now, I guess it's working! I'll find out in 7 weeks!

Hmm... interesting!!! Yikes, that's annoying that we have to get there even earlier now for TSM! wonder what will be going on by the time I go back (Hopefully at the end of September...) Oh well, it's so worth it!!

Yay, 7 weeks for you guys!! So jealous!

THAT MICKEY PICTURE IS SO ADORABLE! Where did you find that? Haha I've been told that I'm a small part Irish too (and apparently that's why my last name is Green... GO FIGURE! Hahah) but I really couldn't care less about St. Patrick's Day. I don't even understand its existence, to be perfectly honest! ANYWAYS UPDATE.

OMG I LOVE YOUR TITLE. "I tell you it's hot in here, I better not do any... LUNGES." Oh my gosh best episode ever. One of them. There are so many.

TOY STORY MANIA MAD DASH! Oh those are exciting times!!!!

You and your friend Barbara sound like the kind of people I would enjoy being friends with. Omg, Friends does save lives. Thank God.

I am SUPER competitive but terrible at Toy Story Mania! I feel like I'm trying so hard to beat the person next to me (which I always have done so far, but they suck too) but I always get caught up in marveling at the characters and the music and just the experience as a whole, that my mind goes OFF THE GAME. Yeah, it's unacceptable and I need to learn from the masters of the Dis. You are one of them hahaha.

I just googled "Mickey Mouse St. Patrick's Day" haha. Never fails!

There really are so many. I could never choose one favorite. Maybe a top 20 list or something, but that would still be very hard!!!

No, I TOTALLY know what you mean about being immersed in the ride! The first few times I went on I was seriously stunned and mystified, playing the game didn't seem as important as taking it all in. But now that I'm a little more used to the MANIA that is Toy Story Mania, I can get my head in the game and really focus. You'll get there someday!

Okay, just caught up. I was gone last week, so I had missed a few updates. RE: Mission Space...you MUST follow my TR because I have the BEST MS story evah to share!!!

TSM mad dash- we had a 7am EMH while we were there. We showed up all ready to run the marathon and the park was EMPTY!!! There was no line in the cue and no line at the FP machine...it was like an eerie episode of Twilight Zone or something. But it was awesome too, of course!

I can now say I have tried the Carrot Cake Cookie from Writer's Stop! It was on my must-do list this time. Stacy told me I must do the must do's so... I did the must-do! Let me just say it was PHENOMENAL!!! And I might add, it is best for breakfast in the morning with a hot cup of coffee... So big you can have it two mornings in a row!

I also wanted to add a little tidbit to make you smile. After not allowing my children to watch ANYTHING on tv the whole week we were there if it did not star Stacy ... my kids spent all week saying "TEST TRACK, BABY!" (even the 5 yr old out of the blue! )

I will definitely be following along with your TR! Can't wait to hear all about it

OMG that is amazing! I would hate getting up that early to be there by 7, but it sounds totally worth it. I hope something like that happens next time I go!

haha "TIME TO DO THE MUST DOS!" So glad you loved the Carrot Cake Cookie! I am SO excited to try it! That will seriously be one of the first things I do next time I'm in Hollywood... after riding TSM 9298 times of course

OMG your kids are like my future children hahaha. That is too funny! You are an awesome mom for turning your kids into Stacey fans! She is the best! "This doesn't look like Test Track... TEST TRACK BABY!" Oh how I love her!

"We're four wheelin' now Baby!" "I'm on top of the woooooorrrrld!"

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Joining in!!! I'm loving your hilarious TR so far!!

I love your description of doing the Joey Lunge at DHS! You were ready and prepared!!

I can attest to the "unannounced early openings" at DHS. When we were there in January, we arrived at 8:45, and the park was already open, and seemed to have been so for at least a few minutes. Unfortunately, TSM, the only ride that was open for those early moments, was down!

Can't wait to read more!

Welcome and thanks!!!

Oh man, I'm definitely gonna have to get up super early then, aren't I? I hope arriving at 8 will suffice. My TSM marathon mornings must go on!

 

[IheartDDuck]

OMG, I love Fat Monica! Hilarious!

Those TSM newbies that don't go to the right by Starring Rolls. Oh such sad, unaware people heading towards the center of DHS. *sigh* They only give me the opportunity to get where I'm going faster!

TOY. STORY. MANIA. - hyperventilating -

*Mufasa Voice* BAHAHA YESSS omg I always say it that way.

I was one of the first riders on Toy Story Mania thanks to Joey Tribbiani! See? Friends saves lives.

Everything about those two sentences is just perfect.

I NEED to be on the left side of the ride vehicle in TSM also. I just do terrible when I'm on the right!

Ahh I can picture being right there in the Writer's Shop I can't wait to go back!
