glad you got another ADR at sci-fi and that dinner worked out. and how sweet that ray took care of ty while you went back to DHS. moms need a little fun, too!!!

you'd think that a sign that says "baby care center" would make people understand that you probably need to be quiet in here. duh.

Glad to hear you were able to rebook Sci-Fi! Can't wait to hear about your night at DHS - how nice that you and Stefan got to go and enjoy the FP's.

I know...I noticed it a few other times. That noisy families with NO babies in tow would use the BCC's as a place to get out of the rain. They do have a TV in there but I assume it is to occupy children when a mother is nursing. Not as entertainment for older kids. Very frustrating!!

I was surprised I could re-book Sci-fi since I think free dining started that week!

It's at Fort Wilderness...next to where they have the Hoop De Do Revue! It's VERY cheap and a great deal if you don't have the DDP or want to pay OOP for a meal.

Day Three..Part 3!

Sorry for the delay everyone! Disclaimer...no pics for this chapter b/c once again, no dad and dad means camera!

I left you with Stefan and I heading to DHS. It was still raining, quite hard actually, when I met him by the elevators to catch the bus to DHS! He had a poncho and I had a poncho and my umbrella. We basically wanted to ride TSM as much as we could, TOT and RNRC. We figured the rain would keep us from much else.

The bus of course was empty! I think people thought we were crazy heading TO the parks when they were all coming back. By this time it was about 7pm I think. While we were on the bus Christine called and asked if the TS, Turf Club bar and Grill, at SSR was any good. I said I had never been. I guess my dad was feeling better and they were going to head over there.

We got to the parks and yes, it was empty! Fine by us!! we headed over to TOT first....we used the FP's but really didn't have to. There was NO line. When it was our turn to be loaded into the elevator the CM put us in one by OURSELVES!!! There hadn't been anyone behind us in line but I thought she would have waited a bit for some more people. Nope! Then, right before getting on the ride broke down!! AAHH!! They had to reset the whole system...we saw some people come out of the CM elevator and get back in line. It took about 10m. but things were back up and running....so now we were still getting on the elevator alone (even though there were people waiting! ) and riding it right after it broke down. I joked with Stefan that they were trying to get rid of us!!

Riding in the elevator alone was super creepy....very quiet too!! Eerie! A good ride as usual. No camera though which made me kick myself b/c the ride picture was pretty unique with an empty elevator!! We headed rigth over to RNRC which, like TOT, had to no line. We used our FP's anyway since Stefan said it made him feel special to use the Dream ones! We rode that about 3 times and sat in the back and the front. I like the back better....seems like you go a lot faster!

We decided to head over to TSM next...on the way Stefan said he wanted to use a snack credit for icecream. We stopped at the stand on the right as you head away from TOT. The CM looked bored and asked me twice if I was sure I didn't want any (I was saving mine for fudge!) He gave Stefan the icecream but said not to worry about paying. Nice!! No wonder he asked me if I was sure I didn't want any..had I know I would have got some!!!

I stopped at the candy store and shoved my fudge down as we walked in the rain..no easy task either! Try carrying an umbrella and choke down fudge!! We got over to TSM where all the people were hiding!! The line was still 45m! We turned over our Dream FP's (we had 2 left for later) and still had about a 10m. wait. Remember this will be my first time playing!!! I don't remember what my score was but I did beat DH and that was all that mattered!!! I called him after the ride to tell him how awesome I thought it was and that of course, I had beat him! He also said Ty had gone right to sleep and to have fun.

We turned around and rode again and I ALMOST beat Stefan. But almost wasn't enough. Oh well! By this time the rain was really coming down. We decided to call it a night even though we weren't tired. Oh well..it had been nice to get out though! Next up....our day off!

hey i am first after your update,

i would have told the Cm after he gave him the ice cream for free,oh all right, i guess you can give me one as well.


nice having the parks empty and having the rides a walk on.

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Sounds like a fun night, even with all the rain! I can't wait to try TSM! How cool to be in your own ToT elevator!

 

[KatGarcia]

I am pretty much of the mind set that disney asks too much for those darn ride pics but if I was alone with no camera I would so have bought it!!! How awesome for you!

I thought about it but then felt too guilty..besides, I wanted that fudge! I guess I could have had both!!

The rain was much more tolerable since I wasn't pushing a stroller and worrying about Ty napping

You know...I thought about it!! But I think my eyes were closed in it anyway. Oh well!

 

[punkin413]

how cool that you got to ride ToT by yourselves!!!! that musta been awesome. i'd love to do that.

i think that's the same place ray and i got a free frozen lemonade on our first trip. they must require that very nice CMs work there.

glad you to to ride TSM. some people have gone this summer and not been able to ride because of the waits. my sister is one of them. it's such a cool ride!

 

[snowbell]

I would have been bummed if I could not have ridden TSM. If you aren't on the DIS how do you know to get there ASAP in the mornings for FP's?? I feel bad for "regular" guests.

Thanks for coming aboard!! I'm sorry to hear you have IBS too. I have a mild case of it...I kinda know what will trigger it. I know meat tenderizer does.....that's why it's hard for me to have steaks out at a TS (Yet we are trying LeCelliar on Xmas Eve! ) Fast food bothers my dad yet not me. Who knows!

Just hoping things are going well... so glad you enjoyed your late night at MGM!
