WOWZA!!! Max score on Buzz...twice!!!
I was pretty surprised that I maxed out with both guns. I got some target both times that just went crazy any my score kept going up, up, up. total luck. No skill involved, at all!
You were not getting the transportation mojo. Don't the busses and trains know you are a diser???
The worst part was that my bro and SIL kept getting to the destination before me. It was actually embarrasing, but all I could do was laugh...or cry!
Glad you enjoyed CP. We liked our breakfast there but I must admit, I didn't like the puff toast at all. Maybe I got an off batch and need a redo!
Really? I thought it was awesome because it was like having a breakfast food and a sugary pastry at all once. Maybe you did get an off batch. I guess that's possible.
I'm loving all of your pictures. It's the next best thing to being there. !
Is really is, isn't it? That's why I love the TR boards so much. I love to get immersed in the story and the pictures. It helps with that Disney craving!
I had no idea that they take pictures on SM. The last time we were there they didn't. That will tell you how long it's been. LOL!!
!
The put that in with the refurb. It's not the best picture, but I really thought that Matt and LJ would enjoy seeing themselves!
Love your score of Buzz. We found a sweet spot once and were able to do it. Of course I've never been able to do it again. LOL!! !
I had 999,999 one other time. I think I got Zurg to blow. Trust me, even with the ride stopped, I will probably never max out again.
Great pics and can't wait to read more!! !
Thanks!
Oh and I love the pics at CP. Matt reminds me of my son. He's very reluctant to do it for our upcoming trip. LOL!
I LOVE the CP pics. I love seeing my nephews have SO much fun. I just love the way Pooh, without uttering a single word, was able to coax Matt out of his chair and into his arms. Priceless!
Oh man, what a morning. I tell ya, if you can't herd the troops out of the barracks before 45 minutes to rope drop, you're going to feel like you're chasing the crowds all day long.
Tell me about it. Believe me, I took a different strategy the next morning and it was very effective. Not making it to park opening during the summer is insane. The crowds must increase 1000 % in that first hour.
But I was determined not to go all "park crazed Disney" on my brother's family. After this morning I knew I needed a new strategy.
So funny that you hit the max score with
both guns on Buzz.
I know. It was so easy the first time and when I maxed out the second time I almost did one of these
Is that last ride in your pictures Goofy's Barnstormer? I didn't see that one when we were there.
Yes - I actually forget the new name for the ride. It did look pretty neat and I regret that I didn't take my bro's family over there, but there were so many other things for them to see.
Oh my goodness, what a nightmare! Feeling like you're going to be late is seriously terrible, isn't it? So glad you didn't end up being late for your ADR though!
It never even occured to me, until right before we got on that bus, that we might actually be late. And that thought was indeed frightening. I am SO glad we made it.
It really looks like the whole family enjoyed Crystal Palace! I just love that place.
Everybody really did. They loved the food and the characters. It was a great success!
Best score ever on Buzz... (the fact that the ride stopped doesn't count!)
I know, right? The ride stopping was just a minor technical glitch. It had not impact whatsoever on my super duper amazing game skills!
Yeah, those buses - it's so rare when I get the one I want FIRST!
No wonder they tell you to allow an hour to get anywhere!
I used to have great bus mojo, but not anymore. I was so off this trip it wasn't even funny. I couldn't wait to get in the park the next day and just drive to a park.
Cute CP pictures - I enjoy the breakfast there too - but I really enjoy getting an early ADR and going into the empty park!
Thanks on the pics.
I like an early ADR too. It's really cool to be in before park opening, but I KNEW that was NEVER going to work with my bro's family. So I decided a late one would work better. I figured eating close to an early lunch time would keep everyone full until dinner. Plus I thought we would have time for a couple rides BEFORE breakfast. That, obviously, didn't work well.
yowza! Lots going on in that update, hopefully I will remember everything I wanted to comment on!
LOL! Judging my how much you wrote, I'd say you did pretty well!
Bummer about the bus snafu. That said, I swear every trip there is at least one time where it takes a full hour to get to a park and the bus I want just doesn't show, even without an internal bus loop adding time to the misadventure.
I guess I am spoiled by having car transportation for most of my trips. Still, I always take the bus to MK and it has never taken me more than 1/2 hour to get there.
I am cracking up at Nick texting in the waiting picture. I think we should count how many pictures of him there are...texting.
I honestly did not realize he was texting so much, but you're right, that would have made a good contest.
You meant well. And you DID make it to breakfast on time.
I did. I hauled @$$ to get to those FP machines and back in 10 minutes. Pretty proud of myself!
Those are some seriously adorable character pictures and with your TIW discount, not a horrible dollar total either!
I think TIW saved $40, so it was definitely worth it. I love that character meal and every time I look at their smiling faces I am SO glad I made that ADR!
Something ab out walking out of SM and seeing Auntie Gravities seems to inspire ice cream or smoothies in my crew too, even if food wasn't long ago. Heat will do that too! When MK gets that crowded...all I cant think of is getting out and cooling off. I am starting to get really sad I won't be seeing it this summer. Thank god for October, at least I'll get to be back soon although I'm sad for the boys. Still, resort only will be an adventure, right?
That's exactly what happened. Denny decided he NEEDED a frozen cappucino and everyone followed suit!
If there is anytime to do a resort only stay its in the summer. Seriously, for the first time ever I can honestly say that I would have enjoyed some resort only days. You don't have to hassle with the crowds or the heat. Plus - you do have a day in AK and that's going to be great.
The one thing I have to say about October is this - I am SO going on the Jungle Cruise. I missed it this trip and I am riding it at night in October. Have to!
NICE total on Buzz, gotta like working it like that! That happened to me on something, kids didn't think to keep shooting so I smoked 'em. Didn't get your kind of score though.
I really lucked out, but it made me feel great all the same because the morning hadn't gone exactly the way I wanted it to. So instead of transportation mojo, I got Buzz mojo!
I don't know what it is about waiting for the train but something about it is very very hot, I recall melting doing the same thing and it does seem to be a very long wait, even with no line.
Ugh. It was awful in that sunlight and we had to wait for a third train. I immediately regreted not walking back, but I thought the kids would enjoy the train.
I am glad you slept till 7. I bet you needed it, and deserved it!!
I did not get up before 7am all week. It was awesome. You will sleep wonderfully in the treehouse. Loved it!
I can't believe I took a picture of it. I remember thinking - Oh Look - here's a cute little frog. Imagine my horror when I realized it was dead. Even frogs aren't supposed to die in Disney!
I love the puffed french toast 
for getting the max score on Buzz, TWICE! You go girl!
Katie?! How could you not like those puffy cinnamony sugary mounds of deliciousness?! They are my #1 reason for breakfast at CP 
I don't think I'd want to deal with that aggravation. 
I don't think I've ever had to wait that long for a bus, a fact for which I am quite grateful. Relieved that you made your CP ADR. Your pictures were so good, and the Pooh that day was clearly so into it, that I had to go back and get my ADR back.
