What a horrible rope drop experience. Poor Caitlin! At least you guys got to have some fun with the characters.

Sounds like you had a great Lotso experience. I'm glad that you all got to see him.

We've never had a rope drop like that before, thank goodness, but the fun we had made up for the rough start

Thank you

Wow, bullying for a fastpass?! Some people really need to get a life! Sorry Caitlin had to put up with that.

Holy cow, that cupcake looks so good. I have got to get over to that bakery when we go!

Yay for meeting Lotso! I still can't get over how adorable his wait area is.

So which picture did you buy...Justin Bieber or Zac Efron? haha

Thank you. It's sad but Disney seems to bring out the worst in some people. They seem to completely forget their manners and decency

That cupcake was so good! We always "plan" to stop there and had never made it so it was a "must do" for us! They had so many yummy looking choices it was hard to decide

As I was typing the update yesterday I thought the pictures Caitlin took were funny since they were all these "teen idols" that she's never been a fan of So no we didn't take Zac or Justin home with us

Great update.

But I can't believe you didn't beat up Lotso when you saw him!

Thanks. We told him to be nice and when we saw how funny he was we just couldn't stop ourselves from liking him

 

[dawnbu40]

Great update Dawn!

Just the thought of making coffee and sitting outside at WDW put a smile on my face....next summer that will be us

I cannot believe those women did that to Caitlin....bullies at 40....isn't that nice....and we wonder why kids turn out the way they do.....Caitlin took the high road...good for her Makes me crazy though

Love the pictures with Lotso...so happy you got to finally meet up with him!

Thank you

That coffee outside really ranked as one of Dale's favorite things. It's funny everyone complains about Disney coffee but he found it heavenly As for next summer....can't wait!!!


It made me crazy too

OMG!!! I hate pushy people!!!! I swear I want to yell "PEOPLE we are at DISNEYWORLD BE A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR YOUR CHILDREN" I have to teach these mannerless kids in high school!!!!

You know I have to be honest (and I love Toy Story) but I don't get TSM. We ride in at CA in Cali and it is fun and all but I would NEVER wait 2 hours to go. It isn't that fun! I also don't get Lotso he was the bad guy right? When we were there I kept asking my husband "did he turn back to good?" I couldn't remember . You would think kids would want to punch him not hug him for hurting Woody and Buzz hahaha Isobel wanted nothing to do with him. She kept saying "he is such a bad bear"

Starring roles looks sooo yummy!! I got drinks there a couple of times but everytime I went in there I was so full from something else. I kept saying I am going back there and never made it I can't wait to hear about lunch! So fun!

I don't envy you being a highschool teacher. That is a hard and too often thankless job. I used to sub and I dreaded the calls to work at the highschool so I totally respect what you do

I would never wait 2 hours for any ride. That's why we do rope drop and fast passes. As much as I love Disney no ride is worth that wait. After seeing the movie I couldn't understand why they chose Lotso for the new meet and greet either. It seems like they should have chosen someone "good".

You must try Starring Rolls next time! It was sooo good!

Great update! I loved your character interaction with Lotso!

Is Caitlin going to tell us about the FP ladies in her post? I want to know what happened! It really sucks that some people have to be so rude in the happiest place on earth.

Wow, I spent a day and an evening at DHS and still didn't go into Sid's! It looks really cool.

 

[klacey1]

Wow, real mature for 40 year old women to cut someone over a FP! I agree with what a PP said-- yes, it's a great ride, but it brings out such insanity in DHS that it's almost not worth it!
Can't wait to hear about your lunch ADR!

Thank you! We had a great time with Lotso!

I don't understand what gets into some people

Sid's is a cool place to look around if you have a little time to kill! They usually have a trivia question board up and they used to give a little certificate to the first person to answer them all correctly each day. I'm not sure if they still do that or not...

Some people get the mindset that they deserve to be first or whatever and lose all their manners

You won't have a long wait....Caitlin is working on an update right now

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

So I am taking a short break from making cookies and getting everything together for Thanksgiving to bring you a special treat! Another update and my side of the story with the FPs (this is for you Yuki)

So after making the mad dash for TSM where we had people tripping each other and yelling slow down! I finally make it behind this one 20 something year old girl. She doesn't have that many tickets so it was fine but then two 40 something women cut in front of me with a huge stack of tickets! Now I don't know how many of you watch SNL but after watching a lot of "Really with Seth and Amy" I have begun to say it so I say to myself REALLY?! I say to the women who cut in front of me "I only have three tickets and you cut in front of me can I just get my three fast passes and then you can continue?" The woman says to me "No you cut in front of us at that corner. You can wait while we finish." Another really moment..." I didn't cut in front of you and I think it's ridiculous that you won't let me just get my three before your 40 but whatever hurry up." I wasn't in a very good mood that morning and those women didn't help my day any. I was very steamed when I met back up with my parents. The woman was English, and no offense to any English Dissers, the English people we've run into at WDW are not very polite.



Now to our lunch. This was another time when my mom sort of freaked out when it came to making our ADRs on time. Oh yeah I didn't mention the one before the Ohana ADR did I Well we rode the boat to the Yacht Club and walked to Epcot. On our way to our ADR we saw the mime in France and stopped to watch him.

My mom and dad both got picked to be in the show. My dad had the hardest time getting the ball into the basket He knew the guy the was trying to get him to miss and it really embarassed him

After the show we continued on our way to our lunch!

We would be eating at the Biergarten in Germany! This would be our first time here so we were excited! Before we went in I had to get my hottie for Germany

He gladly took his picture with me

After we were seated I took pictures around the restaurant and continued on to the buffet. I haven't seen too many decent pictures of inside the Biergarten so I was excited to get my pictures!

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

I had to get a picture of my dad's first drink of the day the beer flight!

Then we went up to the buffet

This soup was sooo good!

After we were full from the great food the band started playing!

My dad and I danced together during one of the songs and had a ton of fun despite the fact I kept stepping on his toes


We then had dessert which I was most looking forward to because I love bavarian cheesecake!!!!


We then headed to Mexico to ride my favorite the Grand Fiesta tour!

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

I aboslutely love this ride! I am not a huge fan of IASW but I love this one! I really want a Donald pinata like they have in the ride!

After we continued on our journey....Where would we go?

Hope you enjoy the update and I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! For our Canadian pals have a great Thursday or the day before you hear how all us Americans act crazy on Black Friday

 

[thecapells]

Yeah! A Turkey Day Treat!
And what better treat than a TR UPDATE!

We love Biergarten!
My DD6 gets me out on the dance floor every time.
It's now our Epcot tradition.
What dad can resist dancing with his little girl?
And we are always the only ones out there.
Did anyone join you guys?

As for drinks, we opted for the wine flight last time - very tasty!!

Also, did you guys meet anybody fun?
We always meet interesting people at those long tables.
Very social place!!

As for the Gran Fiest Tour, we also love that they redid it with the Three Caballeros!
We watch the movie before every trip and sing along as we ride.
It's a nice, relaxing, and fun ride.
I love that pic of Donald "underwater" - it's one of my favorite sequences from that ride.
It looks so good how they set it up - a great illusion.

Hopefully, lunch and a great ride cheered you up somewhat from the evil fastpass stealers...

 

[YukiPhnx]

Yaaay! I'm so happy you gave us the FP story just for me.

It really sucks what those ladies did to you. So rude! I bet everybody behind you was thinking the same thing.

Woow....all the food looks SOOO GOOOOD! Especially the desserts! I'm going to have to consider making an ADR here.... I bet Andrew would LOVE the beer flight.

 

[nessz79]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Great update- we love Biergarten! We're headed there again on our net trip .

 

[meeko_33785]

How fun that your parents got pulled into the juggler's show in Italy!

Biergarten still looks great. We really enjoyed it there last time.

My dad and I were the only two people on the dance floor the restaurant was a ghost town when we went! We also didn't have anyone sit with us since there were so many table open!

I also love the underwater Donald part I think that baby octopus is adorable

The lunch and tour cheered me up!

Yaaay! I'm so happy you gave us the FP story just for me.

You're welcome! You were the one who asked so I had to dedicate it to you!

Yeah it was pretty lame but I did get FPs so I guess I can't complain too much.

The food was amazing you should definitely check it out!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Great update- we love Biergarten! We're headed there again on our net trip .

Hope you had a good Thanksgiving!

We will definitely be headed back there!

How fun that your parents got pulled into the juggler's show in Italy!

Biergarten still looks great. We really enjoyed it there last time.

It was a ton of fun watching them be a part of the show!

It was great! I can't wait to go back!
