"YES you can see his ID!" 21st Birthday - Gangnam Style!

[LittleMissMagic]

We then took our time getting numerous photos in front of the Sorceror's Hat.

Next we met Phineas and Ferb. Rachel is a huge fan of the cartoon.

[LittleMissMagic]

Luckily, I had booked an early lunch. Everyone was starving!

I chose Sci-Fi because Max loves super themed restaurants, so I knew he would enjoy this. Sure enough, as soon as we walked in, "This is AWESOME!"


DSC_2879 by vshingl, on Flickr

Max was sad that he wasn't 21 yet - the drink menu looked really good, and the glow cups were cool.

Lunch here was good. I've read some negative things, but all of us were very happy with our selections.

 

[LittleMissMagic]

We still had some time to kill before our TSM FP. First, an ear purchase was in order.


DSC_2886 by vshingl, on Flickr

No, Max didn't buy the ears (they were way too small for his oversize head). But Rachel did. She loves ear hats.

 

[LittleMissMagic]

We headed to drawing class at Art of Animation.


DSC_2887 by vshingl, on Flickr

Our artist wanted to do newer characters. Difficult characters, too. Our choices were Carl from UP or Merida from Brave. The majority went for Merida.


DSC_2889 by vshingl, on Flickr

A child on the front row was apparently very frustrated with Merida (not an easy character!!) and kept crying, and the artist kept trying to make him feel better, and it was just becoming annoying.


DSC_2890 by vshingl, on Flickr

This time, I really could've used an eraser.

[LittleMissMagic]

Finally, it was time for Toy Story Mania! Addie had never been on this ride before (she last visited in 2008).


DSC_2896 by vshingl, on Flickr


DSC_2897 by vshingl, on Flickr

Max had the high score -


DSC_2901 by vshingl, on Flickr

Addie's response - "Can we PLEASE do this again???" :laugh:

 

[LittleMissMagic]

We got snacks and drinks before heading to Beauty and the Beast. Addie found this awesome umbrella hat. If it had rained at all that weekend, we were buying those hats! :laugh:


DSC_2902 by vshingl, on Flickr

 

[LittleMissMagic]

Max has decided that Beauty and the Beast is his favorite show. He loves the music, and was singing "Be Our Guest" all week. He's still singing it, actually.

Belle had a lovely singing face -

Love this show! It's so beautifully done. If they replace it with Tangled as rumored, I'm going to be incredibly disappointed.

 

[leshunlenese]

a little late but wanted to say I Loved your MNSSHP costumes! O and you take some beautiful pictures too!

 

[LittleMissMagic]

After the show, we did a little bit of shopping, then headed back to the resort.

Saratoga Springs is such a pretty resort - huge, but pretty.

Birthday kids walking together - how presh.

[LittleMissMagic]

So that morning, Rachel and Max were trying to formulate a plan so that we could watch Fantasmic, but also go to ESPN Club and watch South Carolina get beat by LSU. So we decided that we needed to see the 6:30 Fantasmic, then leave DHS and head to the Boardwalk.

So after a rest at the resort, we headed back to DHS to use our FPs for Rockin' Rollercoaster.


DSC_3077 by vshingl, on Flickr

Then Toy Story Mania.


DSC_3078 by vshingl, on Flickr

Max won, again.


DSC_3080 by vshingl, on Flickr


DSC_3081 by vshingl, on Flickr

Addie and Rachel's screen was black for the last game, though. They told the CM at the attraction exit to see if they could ride again since they couldn't play the last round. The CM was kind of rude and just said, "We know. We're working on it. No, you can't ride again." Very un-Disney. And I think that this happened because they're young adults, and that if my Mom or Dad had asked, they would've let them. I don't know, I feel like at this age, we get discriminated against a lot. But it bothers me that they knew the screen was black, but they continued to load people into the attraction. That could be someone's only time riding the ride, and they leave with a bad experience - broken Disney. Yes, it would've slowed down the line to not load people into the vehicles which were on the track for the broken screen, but people aren't waitin 80+ minutes for a broken attraction. I think they needed to be issuing "return any time" FPs or something. But letting people ride a broken attraction is unacceptable.


DSC_3082 by vshingl, on Flickr

Honestly, though, I was glad that Addie and Rachel weren't allowed to ride it again for our schedule's sake - we needed to get to Fantasmic!

 

[LittleMissMagic]

We got a pretty good seat for Fantasmic. We were in the Splash Zone on the fourth row. The DJs that they have entertaining before Fantasmic are pretty entertaining and make sitting in the amphitheatre not so boring.

Unfortunately, I spent the first half of the show trying to remember which camera setting I use for Fantasmic. I need to start writing these things down!

[LittleMissMagic]

Throughout the show, Max kept telling me that he was getting wet. I finally told him that if it bothered him, he could get up and move. And of course, he got huffy with me, assuring me that he wasn't complaining - he was just letting me know that he was getting wet. Gee, thanks, Max - I thought it was just me!
