~!Who knew you could relax in Disney?~Mother/Daughter Tr~5/2 May Trip Plans Days 5-8

[PrincessCaitlin]

I also love the Great Movie Ride! I agree-- I love that they preserve the classics! DBF got so excited on our first trip during the Singin in the Rain scene!

Yay I am glad you agree on GMR! I feel like a lot of people wish that it would be changed

I love that scene!

Wow, it certainly looks like you were up early since it's still dark outside in the photos. And ummm, that clown slide, even freakier at night I think. I do think the water slide disquised as the wooden coaster is cool.

That bakery looks yummy. Are you getting a cupcake for a snack? Because those are divine at Starring Rolls.

I was up pretty early

It is creepy but I am glad the eyes weren't lit up!

I do love the roller coaster slide

We did get a cupcake another day

Wow, I can't believe you went to the gym every morning in Disney. I have a hard enough time working out when I'm home. And it was still dark out. You rock

What a cute blueberry muffin. Everything looks so good at the bakery.

Clowns don't scare me and we are considering BWV for a few days on our next trip but the pictures of the clown with the eyes lit up are a little creepy.

We skipped the movie ride last trip b/c I know DD want recognize anything. I really want to ride it on our next trip. I don't remember ever having a girl gangster? Or a cowboy. It has always been a male gangster everytime I rode it. It should definitely be a guy though.

I TOT.

Great update!

I didn't end up going every morning I work out 5 days a week when I am at home so I ended up going to the gym twice and working out in the room once. When we switched over to BCV you needed another card key to get into the gym when there wasn't a person at the desk

I loved that muffin! I could eat one every day

Yeah I have a fear of clowns so I wasn't sure about the slide

Yeah we have gotten a girl a few times and it just ruins the ride for me

Thank you!

Nice update!
I love the shot of the DHS entrance from across the lake!

As for GMR, I've always thought that instead of genres of movies, they should do landmark movies.
That is, like the first talking picture or pictures leading to major advancements in technology or cinema.
It could include movies like Star Wars and Steamboat Willie to go with classics like Casablanca, Wizard of Oz, and Indiana Jones.

Another thought would be that since the park is no longer MGM Studios and now Disney Hollywood Studios, use Disney movies.
Or even better, how about Disney movies that we don't see anymore:
The opening could be Steamboat Willie.
The gangster scene could morph into Roger Rabbit.
The western scene could go Frontierland and transform into Davey Crockett.
Tarzan becomes Jungle Book.
The space scene is now The Black Hole.
The Horror sequence can be The Black Cauldron,
Indiana Jones can be an underwater sequence with 20,000 Leagues.
How cool would an underwater scene be?
And if Disney really does do an Oz sequel as rumored, they can keep the Oz scene.

A third idea would be to go back and dust off the plans for a Great Muppet Movie Ride which was in the works for some time.
That would be awesome!

It was a very pretty view of DHS!

Well they pay homage to Star Wars and gave it not only its own ride but also its own themed gift shop area.

I do like the Roger Rabbit idea but as for the rest I would be the clueless one on the ride now I haven't heard of a couple of those movies

I just feel like DHS is meant to be Hollywood not exactly a Disney movie collection that's just me but I mean they do have Mary Poppins on the Great Movie Ride but I feel like sitting through a ride with one Disney movie after another would be like something out of the Magic Kingdom.

The Great Muppet Movie Ride could be cool but they get their own 3d show I like that GMR pays homage to movies that wouldn't have their own ride anywhere else.

You go Caitlin - that was one mega stupendous update. Loved it! Loved all the pictures and all the commentary.

So people think I am crazy for getting up and running in the morning, but I'm happy to see I'm not the only one up in the dark. Cool morning pictures.

I love the boardwalk cause it reminds me of the Jersey shore circa Steele Pier.

I can't believe you got to TSM when the FP return time was 9:17am. Amazing! You got so many hidden Mickey's. Nice work. Some of them I still can't find!

Thanks for the GMR pictures. I enjoy that ride, but I have to disagree with you about the female gangster - the best gangster I ever had was a female. She was amazing! I hope she has gone on to much bigger and better things cause she was so convincing. I've had some pretty bad guys in that role.

 

[I Believe In Magic]

Wow the pictures were so awesome!! You had the most beautiful weather. I don't know how you are keeping up with this report and school, I know too well how demanding school is. Just don't be like me and try to go to school when you are in your 30's with 3 kids!! And 2 jobs!! lol ok I digress. Enjoy your youth thats all......haha

Love the TR so far!!!

Yeah I like working out and sort of miss it when I don't do it so I try to get up early and do it but it can be hard waking up early every morning

I just love the Boardwalk as well! It was so pretty at night!

Thank you! We love TSM!

Well if we ever had any good women I am sure I would agree with you

Thank you!

The weather was definitely on our side this trip!

It is a bit hard but I like writing our updates so I try my best to make time

Thank you!

After the two boys say the rules have changed pause it I am in the back with the brown hat on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[brookelizabeth]

OH MY GOSH! THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!!!! YAYYYYYYY! I'm so excited for you!

I hope you made it into lots of scenes in the movie too!

Thank you! I am very excited!!

I think I will be! I might have seen myself in another shot but it was too quick so we will have to wait and see!

 

[brookelizabeth]

I just got caught up with the last two updates - I've never noticed those Hidden Mickey's on the GMR! When Henry gets older I'm definitely buying the book or app so we can do the hunt together - there are so many I've never seen!

I had to work hard to take pics of them the ride moves a lot faster than I thought it did!

You should I am sure Henry will get a kick out of finding them!

Beauitful photos of the Studios from the boat.

Sounds like a great morning so far. I'm with you on the Great Movie Ride. It's one of my favorites at DHS too. Gotta love those classic movies.

Thank you! Our walk had an amazing view!

It was!

Yay! I just love all of the picture opportunities on the ride! To prepare for our next trip I really want to watch all of the movies from that ride

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

Yay! All of my friends have been looking it up and asking for my autograph

Who knows I might win Best Use of a Hat in a Motion Picture

 

[pkondz]

Who knows I might win Best Use of a Hat in a Motion Picture

Yes, I do believe they added that category just last year...

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

Yes, I do believe they added that category just last year...

I thought it sounded familiar Didn't Johnny Depp win one year for Captain Jack Sparrow

I just looked back at the report and I guess I totally missed that you walked instead of riding the boat. My bad. Anyway, I love the walk from Boardwalk to DHS. It's not as quick as the walk to EPCOT, but those views sure are great. Glad you enjoyed it too.

 

[I Believe In Magic]

Wow how exciting to see the trailers out already!! I would love to see the movie when it comes out but scary movies terrify me. lol Keep us posted if they put out more trailers with you in them!!

 

[Padrepride]

I am loving your trip report so far!!! Keep up the amazing work!!! I love the Great Movie Ride too!!! I too would prefer the male gangster. I can't wait for the next update!!!

 

[Queenofallthings]

You took some great pictures!! I love just walking around snapping pictures of the things people never think to take...then when you look back it always brings a smile to my face!!!

It is very exciting!

There are a couple out right now and that is the only one I am in so far. My friends and I tried looking it up on You Tube to show people and that one wasn't there but a bunch of different ones were.

Scream 4 isn't super scary its more of a spoof of scary movies but that ghost face can be petty intimidating

I am loving your trip report so far!!! Keep up the amazing work!!! I love the Great Movie Ride too!!! I too would prefer the male gangster. I can't wait for the next update!!!

Thank you!

Yay! I just don't get the whole female gangster thing but it is good to know the mob is an equal opportunity employer

You took some great pictures!! I love just walking around snapping pictures of the things people never think to take...then when you look back it always brings a smile to my face!!!

Thank you!

I feel the same way I always try to get the most out of the little things at Disney and I am always surprised by how detailed they are!
