This is your 24th Anniversary? But you're so young!~A 5/12 TR!*PTR link pg 49, 9/14!*

All right, don't think I can stay at BC anymore. My biggest phobia is crocs and alligators, just looking at the picture made me cringe! :rotfl: (And, of course, the last two states I've lived in have been gator heaven..Louisiana and FL, completely logical, right.:laughing:) I would have been running to my car at that point. :lmao:


I was frustrated that they didn't open DHS until practically opening time, as well! We were, like, the 6th group down from on the turnstiles, and I kept thinking, "Yep, the one time we show up early, the CMs are going to keep us late." :rotfl:


Sounds like your day started off really well, even with the waiting around. Getting to ride TSMM twice is always the best, plus you and Brandon both did a good job drawing Agent P! :thumbsup2
 
hi!
thanks for the update...sorry your having a busy week. I hope you can get some R&R over the weekend.
Yeah, for a little wait on Toy Story..the queue is adorable! that's the only good thing about a 90 min wait...you can really check out the queue...

Cupcakes coming up next...yummy!

ok, so was it your camera that made the alligator look like the size of a small child, but the alligator was really the same size as the baby alligators in Living with the Land?? or was that alligator the size of small child!
YIKES, I sooo would have gone as far from that as I could...especially as one reader said..when they start to growl at you!

p.s. so you don't drink coffee at all ??? :coffee:
 
I love TSM, whats not to love, the queue is great and the ride is awesome :goodvibes

I LOVE that you got to draw Agent P!!! I love that show and watch it while falling asleep most nights, and you're right your Agent P is better :goodvibes but shhh I wont tell :rotfl:
 
Haha, I do NOT like the TSM stand-by line. But that might be because we spent waaaaaaay too much time in it a couple of trips ago. And Mr.Potato head was super repetitive. But the fastpass line- that I love!

Can't believe you saw a gator! I always look for them, but never found one. Glad you got a picture!
 

Finally found time to follow you over here from my PTR! Sounds like a great trip so far. Next trip we want to stay over at one of the Epcot resorts. I would just LOVE to be in walking distance to the deliciousness there!

And I LOVE the Friends chapters. I saw your contents and was like "FRIENDS!" and then saw you explained it all in the first chapter :cool1:
 
I must be the oddball who isn't afraid of the gators at all! I know Disney moves them to a wildlife preserve once they reach 3 feet long and that one looks like a baby to me...But I'm obsessed with Animal Planet so I probably know more about gators than I need to, living in CT! I'm more afraid of the dang "Silence of the Lambs" moths they have flying around down there! :scared1::scared1:

How awesome that there wasn't a huge rush for TSM and you got to ride twice! I'm really starting to feel better about this! With 8 people, doing the 'Mad Dash' in July really doesn't sound too enticing!

I really hope we get a new character when we go to the Animation Academy! We've gone so many times, we've had a lot of repeats!

It looks like it was such a beautiful day! I can't wait to see how the rest of it went! And that pic of the ToT at the end of the road is AWESOME!! :thumbsup2
 
WHAT?! :eek: I can't believe that alligator was just hanging out in the water. Call me naive, but I had no idea they would be so close! Eek!

YAY TSM! :love: Don't worry about Brandon beating you...we've got to let those guys win once in a while ;)

I need to spend more time in the animation building! We do Animation Academy all the time, but I've never done the thing where you can put your voice in a Disney movie! I must try this!

I love your drawings! :thumbsup2

I know, it's a little scary to see a wild alligator just hanging out in Disney! We saw one at MK too, in the river near Tom Sawyer's Island! :eek:

Haha, yeah, I guess Brandon should win at TSM once in a while! :laughing: I love that ride more and more with each time that I go on it! I hope they keep the non-rope drop, because it makes going on so much easier!

The Animation building is cute, they have lots of things there to play around with! I love the drawing class sooo much, I"m so glad we finally did it after years of skipping it! :banana:

Wow, crazy seeing the alligator hanging out at the Beach Club! :eek:

That is an awesome start to your morning at DHS. I can't believe there was no dash, no FP wait, and only a 15-minute standby! That's incredible!

Glad Brandon enjoyed himself this time too.

We'll have to check out those activities in the animation building sometime. Nice drawings!

I know, it was strange seeing it just floating around! Scary! :scared1:

I can't believe getting to TSM was so easy! No one ran, no one pushed, and there was no line to get FP's! I hope it's like that every time!

Thanks, I love the drawing class! Which is weird, because I'm so awful at drawing! :rotfl:

I can't believe that was the fist time you'd waited in line for TSM. ;) Such a good return time and only 15 minutes normal wait time to boot. Sounds like a good morning to me.

I know, every time we go on TSM we use FP's! Brandon has always refused to stand in the actual line up until this trip! :rotfl2: It is so cute in there, I love it! It was a great morning, it was awesome riding TSM first thing and being out of there before 10!

Alligators creep me out!!!

Sorry you didn't get to go into DHS early, but at least there wasn't long lines for TSM like their usually are!!!!

I LOVE TSM!!!!! Mike and I always play our hearts out and I most always beat him ;)

I think your Agent P was awesome looking!!!

Me too! I mean, it's cool seeing one in person, but at the same time, it's a little frightening! :rotfl2:

This was the first time Brandon has ever beat me on TSM, it was shocking! :eek:

Thank you! It was so cool drawing Agent P! :yay:
 
Joining in! I had heard there was an alligator spotted around the BC and we looked for one while we were there. Never saw one though. Only a turtle. So jealous that you got to draw Agent P! You both did a great job! I too loved seeing ToT everytime we went somewhere. It made me so happy!

Yay, glad you're here! :banana:

I had no idea there was an alligator over there! We saw him on another day, too! We also saw a few turtles...I was afraid the alligator was going to eat the turtles, actually, but they just swam around and the alligator seriously didn't care. :confused3

I loved drawing Agent P, it was kind of hard though, his bill was tough! :laughing:

Isn't seeing ToT at the end of that street the best? I love that ride! :love:

I'm a tea-drinker, too! I knew you were my people! ;)

Did you know alligators growl when you get too close? Yeah, I learned that lesson the hard way last summer. Saw one during our vacation at Hilton Head... this was at a state park/nature preserve, and the thing was literally just 6 feet away from us. Of course, Shane goes to get closer so he can get a photo... that's when the 'gator growled. Scared the living daylights out of me! :eek: I could not get away fast enough, I pretty much pushed my youngest daughter out of my way! Mother of The Year, I tell you. :sad2:

I can't believe this was your 1st time in the stand-by queue for TSM! And I can never get a good photo of Mr. Potato Head... those eyes just don't photograph well!

I did the Animation Academy for the 1st time last summer. Don't know why we've skipped it before, 'cause my girls would love it. We'll have to make sure to do it on our next family trip... and they'd be over the moon to draw Perry!

Haha, I like coffee once in a while, when I'm really asleep and need to try to be awake, but I love my tea in the morning! :thumbsup2

I had no idea alligators growled! :eek: That is so terrifying, I hope I am never close enough to one to hear that! I can't even imagine being 6 feet away from one! I'd probably just stand there and cry if one ever growled at me! :scared1:

I can't believe it was our first time in that line either! I'm glad it's so entertaining in there, there is so much to look at, it's probably not too bad waiting an hour to get on the ride! :laughing:

You should definitely do the drawing class! It's so much fun, and you get to keep your drawing, which is awesome! I want to frame our drawings someday! :)

Finally here for your May TR! I LOVE the new room. That is what I would expect as well! The other one just seemed so.... off. Less magical. Can't quite put my finger on it. I am glad that manager was nice and gave you a new one right away!

Still haven't been to Cape May, but I think I need to try that Salmon! =)

Yay, so glad you're here!

Wasn't our second BC room so beautiful? So much different than the first one!

Cape May is fantastic! The salmon is SO good, which is weird, because I've never been a big salmon person, but it was amazing! I hope they keep it on the menu!

I enjoyed the update, Jen. Seeing the gator in the water by BC reminds me of "Ali" at the Coronado and her brother. We had a gator at CSR the CSR the last three times we stayed there and know that Ali was "moved" when she got too big and then her brother showed up. :lmao:

What a great start to your morning at the Studios. :thumbsup2

It's too bad Brandon finally beat you at TSM, but you definitely had the better drawing.

Thanks! Aww, the gator at CSR had a name? How cute! Someone should name this BC gator too...of course, I'm sure it will get moved sooner or later! :laughing:

Our morning at DHS was great, we had such a great time! It was annoying that Brandon beat me, but I guess I can't win every time! :rotfl:
 
Honestly, yes, I am glad you said you got tea. You seem like a coffee drinker!

OMG! How creepy that you saw the alligator! I'd have been a little weary of a first floor room with that guy around! On a strangely related note, last night I had a dream that there were just tons and tons of alligators going into the woods behind my house, and that picture reminded me. Weird.

I've never been through the standby line for TSM either!! (Even though you clearly have now haha). So awesome!!! I can't wait to test out this new earlier opening thing.

Ahh your Perry is awesome! I haven't watched Phineas and Ferb in so long, but that show is hilarious! Great update!!! :woohoo:

Haha, I'm so glad that you are glad to know that I drink tea and not coffee! :laughing: I do drink coffee every once in a while, but I prefer tea! Although, that might change in Disney once Starbucks gets there and I can get a Frappucino in the morning!

If the water was more level with the land, I'd be afraid of a first floor room too, but the water much lower than the actual building, so it seems like it would be pretty hard for a gator to climb up and walk into your room! I am afraid of snakes in a first floor room though! :eek:

I hope DHS opens early for you, it is SO much easier than the old way! You are going to love the standby line, it's so cute! :banana:

I can't believe I just started watching Phineas and Ferb! Could I be any later? Actually, I tried watching it a while ago and couldn't get into it, and I recently gave it another try and now I love it! I love Agent P he's so cute!

Spotting the alligators around Disney kind of freaks me out too! I've never seen one near the Beach Club though!

That stinks that you didn't get an earlier opening of DHS, but how fun that you finally got to experience the stand-by line with a short wait! The Candy Land floor is really cute!

Yay Agent P!!! :banana:

I had no idea there would be a gator down there! It was interesting and scary at the same time! :eek:

I wish DHS opened early, but it actually didn't really matter, maybe it wasn't busy that day or something, it didn't seem too bad! I love that Candy Land floor, I want a room in my house to have a floor like that someday! :banana:

I love Agent P! I just got an Agent P Vinylmation at the Disney store!

I can't believe the SW tickets were so cheap. I was considering switching our cruise to that weekend but Jetblue was so expensive that I kept our Sept dates. I wish I had waited until SW released their prices:guilty: Stupid Jet Blue

I always checked out that water area at BC to look for alligators but never saw one. I don't mind seeing the small ones. I'm more afraid of seeing a snake:scared:

How cool that you got to draw Agent P! I love Phineas and Ferb. Caitlin used to watch it everyday but now she has been watching some horrible show called Adventure time or something. I wish she would go back to watch Phineas and Ferb. Now, I have to watch it on my own.

I can't believe SW was so cheap either! I just have to decide now if we are adding a day, and if we are, what day, so I can change the tickets before they go up too much! I like Jet Blue, but I hate that you have to pay to change dates. :sad2:

I liked seeing the alligator since we don't have one around here, but I couldn't help but be a little scared of it, I kept wondering what would happen if I fell in...or a kid fell in or something! :eek: I'm afraid of snakes at Disney too, luckily, I have yet to see one!

I can't believe Caitlin is already over Phineas and Ferb! She changes what she likes too fast, I can't keep up! I love that show, I'm so happy we got to draw Agent P! I can't wait for the new Agent P missions in Epcot! :thumbsup2

Can't see pics now, but enjoyed your update all the same! I have to admit that the alligators freak me out a bit, too. I guess when you live there you get used to it.

Sorry for no soft opening, but at least you had a nice leisurely opening. :faint: Can't believe you let Brandon beat you on TSM! :rotfl:

I'm thinking that a ride on ToT might be just around the corner and some more cool low light pictures. popcorn::

Thanks! Yeah, I guess living in Florida you kind of have to get used to alligators! Still, I feel like I could live in FL for years and I'd never get used to seeing a gator in my pool or something! :laughing:

The DHS opening was nice, even though we didn't go in early! It was awesome that we just walked right over to TSM and grabbed some FP's, and then went on the ride! I can't believe Brandon beat me either! :sad2:

Haha I'm so predictable! I can't go to DHS and not ride ToT! :banana:
 
Great start to your DHS morning!

I think your Agent P looks great! :)

I will definitely be back to hear about cupcakes! I hope there are pictures. ;)

It was a great morning, so nice to just walk right over to TSM!

I loved drawing Agent P! The more I look at my drawing, the more I find mistakes, but it's not bad for a first attempt!

Of course there are cupcake pictures! :banana:

Seeing gators doesn't bother me...but I don't think I would walk closer to one that was 6 ft away. They usually don't bother people unless they feel threatened, but if they're growling at you...I'd say they're feeling threatened.

I also love the queue for TSM.

Never did the drawing thing...we'll have to try that! How long does the class last?

You're the second person to mention growling alligators! That is SO scary! :scared1: I cannot even imagine how terrified I'd be if I saw that! Luckily, this alligator seemed pretty calm, he was probably thrilled that he lives in Disney World!

The drawing class is about 30 minutes, but it does not feel that long, it seems like you are in there for 10 minutes, it is so much fun! They break it down so anyone can draw the character, even someone who can't draw like me! And it's a nice souvenir to take home! You should definitely give it a try! :cool1:

Yikes, alligators!! :eek: :scared1: :eek:

Lucky Toy Story Mania was so empty! I love the standby line, but I hate waiting in it.

Animation class is one my favorites...many people (non DIS people) don't even know about it, it is definitely our favorite low-key attraction at DHS! :goodvibes

Can't wait for more.

I know! It's fascinating seeing an alligator in real life, but scary at the same time! :eek:

It was nice that TSM was such a short wait! I think that might be the one ride I wouldn't mind waiting for a while to go on, just because of that queue!

I love the drawing class! I didn't know about it before the DIS, and even when I found out about it, it took us years to try it! It's so much fun! :yay:

I live in a place with no poisonous or dangerous snakes, spiders, reptiles, and even very few sharks. I would probably jump out of my skin at a real, live alligator. Either that or go crazy taking a million pics!
What a great morning at DHS! I always want to try the animation academy, it's on my to do list for September.

Haha, yeah, there isn't much in CT to be afraid of...apparently we have bears here now, which is weird, and Brandon says we have poisonous snakes and spiders, but they are in the woods, and luckily, I never go in the woods, so I'm hopefully pretty safe! :yay: It's weird seeing an alligator right in front of you...I was scared, but it was cool at the same time!

I hope you go to the drawing class on your trip, it is so much fun! :cool1:
 
That's crazy about the gator in the water. I wonder if anybody else saw it and said something. When we stayed at Kidani Village there was a snake on one of the savannas and they were trying to get it out.

Yay for a short wait at TSM and for drawing at the Animation Academy. It is cool how they do some of the nontraditional characters too.

Well, I know another family saw it when we did, because they were looking at it first, that's why we looked down there in the first place! I'm sure they will move it eventually, it's probably so annoying to be the person to have to catch and move all those gators from Disney property! :laughing:

I was surprised we did Agent P at the drawing class, he must be new! I really want to do one of the classic Disney characters next time, Mickey or Minnie or something! :thumbsup2

All right, don't think I can stay at BC anymore. My biggest phobia is crocs and alligators, just looking at the picture made me cringe! :rotfl: (And, of course, the last two states I've lived in have been gator heaven..Louisiana and FL, completely logical, right.:laughing:) I would have been running to my car at that point. :lmao:

I was frustrated that they didn't open DHS until practically opening time, as well! We were, like, the 6th group down from on the turnstiles, and I kept thinking, "Yep, the one time we show up early, the CMs are going to keep us late." :rotfl:

Sounds like your day started off really well, even with the waiting around. Getting to ride TSMM twice is always the best, plus you and Brandon both did a good job drawing Agent P! :thumbsup2

Haha, I was going to say, you live in FL, and you can't stay at BC? :rotfl: Do you see a lot of gators where you live now? I think it's so weird that they are just everywhere in Florida! I'd be so scared to go anywhere if I lived there! :scared1:

I know, I was thinking the same thing, we get here early for once, and they're not letting us in! I was happy once they let us in it wasn't too bad getting to TSM though! Did you go there first too? I wonder if we were in line together! :thumbsup2

I was so happy to draw Agent P, it was so much fun, I need to get some frames for these drawings someday!

hi!
thanks for the update...sorry your having a busy week. I hope you can get some R&R over the weekend.
Yeah, for a little wait on Toy Story..the queue is adorable! that's the only good thing about a 90 min wait...you can really check out the queue...

Cupcakes coming up next...yummy!

ok, so was it your camera that made the alligator look like the size of a small child, but the alligator was really the same size as the baby alligators in Living with the Land?? or was that alligator the size of small child!
YIKES, I sooo would have gone as far from that as I could...especially as one reader said..when they start to growl at you!

p.s. so you don't drink coffee at all ??? :coffee:

I love the TSM queue, it's adorable! I don't really want to wait 60-90 minutes for any ride, but if I had to choose one, it would be that one, just to look at everything there! :)

Mmm...Disney cupcakes! :cool1:

Haha, yeah, I guess that alligator was the size of a small child, Brandon said he was about 3-4 feet I think...apparently that's not very big in terms of gators! I would probably faint if I heard one growl, that's awful! :scared1:

I do drink coffee, but not very much, a few times a month I guess...if I'm really tired at work I'll get some, but I prefer tea in the morning, coffee makes me a little jittery sometimes! I do love Starbucks, though, I could live on Frappucinos! :banana:

I love TSM, whats not to love, the queue is great and the ride is awesome :goodvibes

I LOVE that you got to draw Agent P!!! I love that show and watch it while falling asleep most nights, and you're right your Agent P is better :goodvibes but shhh I wont tell :rotfl:

I love TSM too! I can't believe some people just don't like it! Crazy! :scared1:

I'm so happy we got to draw Agent P, it was cool drawing something I've never seen done before! I watch that show at night too, I love that it's on like, 50 times a day! :cool1:
 
Haha, I do NOT like the TSM stand-by line. But that might be because we spent waaaaaaay too much time in it a couple of trips ago. And Mr.Potato head was super repetitive. But the fastpass line- that I love!

Can't believe you saw a gator! I always look for them, but never found one. Glad you got a picture!

Ugh, well, I could see how hearing Mr. Potato Head one too many times could get annoying! :laughing:

I can't believe we saw a gator either! I always look for snakes and still have not seen one, which I'm HAPPY about, I'll have a panic attack if I see a Disney snake! :scared1:

That IS a big alligator.

Nice drawings!:thumbsup2

Haha, well, it looks big in the picture, but I think it was about 3-4 feet! I guess that's not very big for gators, according to Brandon, who thinks he's a gator expert! :rolleyes1

Thanks! :banana:

Finally found time to follow you over here from my PTR! Sounds like a great trip so far. Next trip we want to stay over at one of the Epcot resorts. I would just LOVE to be in walking distance to the deliciousness there!

And I LOVE the Friends chapters. I saw your contents and was like "FRIENDS!" and then saw you explained it all in the first chapter :cool1:

Yay, so glad you're here! :goodvibes You have to stay in an Epcot resort, it is such a great area, I love knowing Epcot is just a 5 minute walk away! :love:

Another Friends fan! I'm so obsessed with that show, it's insane! And it's so annoying, because I quote it constantly at work, and NO ONE knows what I'm talking about! They all just smile and nod at me like I'm crazy! :rotfl:

I must be the oddball who isn't afraid of the gators at all! I know Disney moves them to a wildlife preserve once they reach 3 feet long and that one looks like a baby to me...But I'm obsessed with Animal Planet so I probably know more about gators than I need to, living in CT! I'm more afraid of the dang "Silence of the Lambs" moths they have flying around down there! :scared1::scared1:

It looks like it was such a beautiful day! I can't wait to see how the rest of it went! And that pic of the ToT at the end of the road is AWESOME!! :thumbsup2

Haha, Brandon does the same thing, he's obsessed with gators and crocs and spiders and weird bugs and all that...I guess that alligator will be moved away soon, because I think he was around 3 ft. I wasn't exactly afraid of him, he was pretty far away from us, but I still couldn't help but wonder, what would happen if someone fell in that water? And what if that person was me? :eek:

I hope they keep the "no rope drop" at DHS going now, it's so much easier that way! :banana: It's even better if they let you in 30 minutes early like they do sometimes, being with 8 people, that will help you guys out a lot!

It was a beautiful day, hot, but nice and sunny, which is always good! :banana: I can never get tired of seeing ToT! :thumbsup2
 
Yeah, I had a feeling that was a bit alligator...but I was hoping that it was tiny and your camera made it look bigger than it was...
we LOVE first floor rooms...guess, not anymore!

NO SNAKES! eeekkkkk!!!!!

Haha, well, I think it's going to get a lot bigger! :rotfl:

I hate snakes! I'm probably more afraid of snakes than bees and butterflies combined! Ugh! I hope I never see a Disney snake! :rotfl2:
 

The One with Cupcakes!

Sunday, May 6, Part 2

Once we were finished at the Animation Academy, we went back over to Toy Story to use our FP's. I think it actually took a few minutes longer to get through the FP line than the standby line earlier in the morning, which was weird! Still, we got on quickly, and I'm happy to say, I did MUCH better on the second ride:

P1020085.jpg

Yep, I beat Brandon this time! He blamed his poor score on the fact that his arm was tired from the first ride. Please. :rotfl:

We were both starving by this time, and I knew I wanted a cupcake from Starring Roles for breakfast. That might seem like a strange breakfast, but it was almost 11:00 and anyway, it's Disney World, you can eat a rice krispy treat shaped like Mickey for breakfast and it's acceptable!

I grabbed a table outside and while Brandon went in and ordered my cupcake. I assumed he would get a bagel for himself like he did the last time we went to Starring Roles, so imagine my shock when he came back to the table with these:

P1020087.jpg


He actually got himself the Butterfinger cupcake! I didn't even suggest it! I was SO happy that he did that, I've been wanting to try it, but after hearing so much about the Red Velvet Cupcake, I had to get that one first, so this was perfect! Now I could have my Red Velvet AND try the Butterfinger! I LOVE life in Disney World! :cool1:

Here is my beautiful Red Velvet cupcake a little closer:

P1020088.jpg

It was SO good! So, so good! I know everyone knows this by now, but I was still amazed that there was cheesecake right on top of the frosting! I mean, who does that? Only in Disney! You know what totally made that cupcake, though? I mean, yes, the whole thing was amazing-the cake, the frosting, the cheesecake-but what really put it over the top were those toffee chips!! They were just such a nice, extra little touch!

I also tried Brandon's cupcake, and it was good, but it just doesn't compare to the Red Velvet or the Peanut Butter cupcake that I got last time. He liked it a lot, but I prefer the other ones.

We finished our cupcakes and I bet you will never guess where we were headed next?

P1020089.jpg

Yup, my Tower of Terror! And of course, I had to get a picture with Caitlin's Flat Stanley in front of my favorite ride!

P1020091.jpg

There it is, a little closer...the best ride ever invented! :lovestruc

The wait ended up being a little longer than we felt like waiting, so we grabbed some FP's for 11:55 and walked off to do something else. We walked by the area with all the heads of the famous people...what is this area called? The Hall of Fame of something...anyway, I remembered last time they had a statue of Michael Landon's head, so I wanted to find it and send a picture to my friend at work. We have a weird obsession with Michael Landon and Little House on the Prairie...(don't ask, long story!)

I looked at every single statue there, and Michael Landon was gone! They must have replaced him with someone more worthy. I was disappointed I couldn't send Michael Landon's head to my friend, but Brandon found a statue he liked...Bob Newhart!

P1020093.jpg

Yes, he's doing an impression of Bob Newhart from when he was on The Simpsons, when he had to speak at Krusty the Clown's funeral..."ahem...I didn't really know Krusty"...I tried to find a video of it for you guys, because I'm sure you're all really lost by now, but it just doesn't exist!

Anyway, we went over to Star Tours where there was only a 10 minute wait, so we went on that!

P1020096.jpg

We had such great scenes this time, no stupid pod racing (sorry, I just don't like the new Star Wars, ugh!) but we had Darth Vader and Wookies and all sorts of fun stuff! I love that ride, but it is SO jerky! It slams you around so hard, it actually gets really annoying towards the end and I just want to get off...I love it, I just wish it was a bit smoother, you know?

We started walking back to the Tower of Terror and stopped in some of the shops along the way, it was SO hot, I had to get out of the heat for a little while, and I really like the stores in DHS.

I saw the cutest shirt when I was there:

P1020098.jpg

Eeeeee, how cute is that? I wanted to get it SO bad, but I'm so tired of buying Disney shirts in huge sizes that I didn't bother. I'm hoping they will still have it in November and I'll be a little smaller by then! :thumbsup2

Finally we went over to ToT and went right through the FP line, there was no one there! :cool1: We just walked in, watched the pre-show and got right on our doomed elevator! It was awesome! I love this ride so much, and it's even better when you just walk right on! The only bad thing about getting on so soon is your ride is over so fast! We were walking outside before we knew it! :confused3

P1020104.jpg

We wanted to go on again, but we didn't want to wait in the stand-by line, and we knew we would be back the next night for magic hours, so we decided it was probably time to get back to the Beach Club for a little while. We were tired and hot and ready to check out Stormalong Bay! I just had to make one quick stop on the way out to buy an Alice in Wonderland Vinylmation, and then we walked back to the car!

On the walk back, I was saying how annoying it was that I kept having to buy bottles of Powerade (I was living on Powerade, trying to stay hydrated!) and how expensive it was, and then Brandon mentioned he forgot something, and then I remembered I was out of Advil...this all led to one thing. We'd have to do the unthinkable before heading back to the Beach Club...we'd have to leave Disney property! :crazy2:

Up next...we leave the Disney bubble...and then come back to the Beach Club for a fantastic surprise!

 
Hahaha, cupcakes for breakfast is not a weird concept at all. I usually eat cake for breakfast for a week after my birthday every year! :rotfl:

Glad to hear you liked the Red Velvet!!! I can't wait to try it!

YAY ToT!!! Ugh... leaving Disney?!?! Say it aint so!!
 
Mmmmmm, cupcakes!!!!!!!!!! When will I learn not to read updates before eating? :rotfl:

Good job on TSM!

Sounds like a productive morning at DHS!

Ooooh, an off-property adventure...we've never done that. Can't wait to hear what the surprise at the BC was!
 
Cupcakes for breakfast are a completely acceptable form a nourishment. But I would reserve that for Disney only. :rotfl: I have to try the red velvet one in November. :goodvibes

I hate new Star Wars too! I remember this long conversation I had with my oldest brother, who is like crazy insane about Star Wars. When Phantom Menace was coming out, he said "it's going to be the best movie ever", to which I said "but what if it sucks?" He says "that's impossible", and I said, "but seriously, what if it sucks?"

:rolleyes1 I think I was on to something there......
 
Cupcakes for breakfast isn't a weird concept in my house!!! LOL

Those looked delicious!!!

I am not a fan of star tours only because of how jerky it is :(

Glad you won TSM!!! and glad you got to "walk" on to ToT!!! Even if with FPs ;)
