I'll believe it when I see it. Did you get me any candy at the store?

i give it a week.
i give it a week.
Because we are going for six days to the park I know that I can take it easy and see everything. For those of you that haven't been here yet it is set up on a much smaller scale than DW.
My must do rides are simple, everything. I want to save the "dark" rides in Fantasyland for night time and early morning. We are going to definitely need to arrange that Nerdy Cookies and whoever she can get to ride in the submarine with her to ride Finding Nemo with her when it isn't super busy. I am a little too claustrophobic for it, the old subs used to totally freak me out.
I am kind of bummed because I have heard that Star Tours is getting rehabbed while we are there but I am hoping that it isn't closed because I love this ride. Although I was not thrilled with Innoventions any of the times I have been on it I want to see the home of the future this trip.
I will get my ducking over with now, I do not want to see Captain Eo, I saw it the year it opened, and that was enough for me. Go ahead and throw the rocks and such, I am tough. Yes, I am old!!!
I look forward to Buzz Lightyear and I am prepared to be blown away by Scotty, I always am. I am going to ride Space Mountain, I haven't ridden it for so long because I have sat with one kids or another while Scotty has ridden it. This year they are old enough to ride by themselves and do their thing.
I may even sit through Jedi training although it means absolutely nothing to me, I have never and I do mean never seen any of the Star Wars movies. Sacrilege I know.
Enough thoughts for now, stay tuned for more exciting updates and I am sure pictures of Brendon Urie and whoever Berht's crush for the week is. Because well, poor Brendon is Kody's MAD crush!!![]()
oh ok. and it isnt that weird. but still. i want to be a frickin jedi![]()
I did our taxes today and well we are gonna have a great trip. I am so looking forward to going on our trip. I keep going back and forth on whether or not I want one of those little video cameras, either the Flip or the Kodak one. I am kind of leaning towards the Kodak because I like the way that it saves the video better than the Flip does. There are certain things that I really want video of. Like Bawb and the Jedi training. There are some memories that are just too good to miss out on.
I really want to have one "grown up" meal with Scotty, the kids are old enough to eat without us and if not the two grandma's will be along. I cannot decide on where to eat and whenever I ask WBG he says, "whatever you want honey", as nice as he thinks he is being he is frustrating me. So, I lean towards either a meal at someplace in DTD, one of the hotel ones, or at one of the parks. I lean away from the Napa Rose, it's not really our style. I would love to go to Ralph Brennan's but I know Scotty. So it will probably someplace like Steakhouse 55 or something like that where there is a menu we both can deal with.
I love the shops on Main Street. Heck, I love all of Main Street, there is something about it that attracts me. I cannot tell you how thrilled I am that Great Moments with Mr Lincoln is back. When we went in 2007 it was the Steve Martin movie which was interesting and fun but I love Mr Lincoln and I read that it is different so that is good.
I plan on using the busier days to my benefit on this too. At that I time I am going to attack Main Street. I plan on visiting all of the shops, and I do mean all of the shops. Lol, even the magic shop. Which although silly is fun. I don't know if the music store is there but if it is and you can still make a cd with the Disney songs of your choice, I am so going to do it.
I also may actually buy myself a hat this time. I saw the best hat last time we were there, it was a Maleficent hat and I really want one. I love the villains and I plan on making it my job to find as many villains as I can. And I will do what I never do, I will actually get my picture taken with them.
Today is one of those days that I am not in the mood to plan. I just know that I am looking forward to the trip. I need this vacation, I am kind of trying to figure out a way to spend a night in Monterey because WBG has a bike race there in March, it is something I am going to seriously consider. I could use a mini vacation.
Sounds like a good plan and six days should be plenty, are you planning on trying to stay in one park or the other each day or jump around a bit depending on events?
Yeah, doing Finding Nemo once was enough for me. It was cute but all the sections where the wall is going by right in front of your face made me feel a bit green around the gills.
Bummer about Star Tours being in refurb modeI am looking forward to seeing what the facelift looks like though. And Captain Eo - ugh! Can't believe they brought that dribble back to the park. I'm sorry, but even his death can't remove the fact that the guy was a creep. A very talented creep, but a creep nonetheless.
Good luck on Buzz, only shoot for the triangle and diamond targets and remember that you can shoot them multiple times. The circle and square targets aren't worth nearly as much.
Feel the force and go for it! You might get to fight Darth Maul!

We ended up buying the Sony MHS-CM1 Webbie HD camcorder. Records onto an SD card and has some good features, only downside is that it sucks in low light. Good luck choosing which one to get!
As far as that meal, it is a good call to find a place that you will both find something to eat at. Me personally I love Italian, so I recommend Buca di Beppo. It is about 2 miles from DLR on Harbor and has that old school family Italian food. You even walk through the kitchen to get to your table to make you feel at homeI was bummed that I got sick when we were down there last fall so I didn't have the energy to go and enjoy it.
Cool that you'll have time to really enjoy Main Street and I'm glad they'll have the Lincoln show back up and running for you. That one really takes me back to my childhood
Yay for getting a hat - it is a must for me now, gotta have my Mickey Pirate Ears![]()
Oooooo, mini vacation - sounds good! Hope it comes together for you![]()

I think that the first few days we will devote to DL, I think they will be the slower days. DCA may have a crowd though because the water show will be starting like a month before we go down.
You and I are of about the same opinion of MJ. Yes, his death was sad and yes he was talented but that does not help the other for me.
I am sick again right now. This is the first time I have sat up for more than a minute or two all day and it is after 5. You know your advice on the Italian restaurant is perfect. That is one food he and I can both agree on. He loves Italian, I love the idea of how cozy it sounds. Will we need to make reservations?
Mr Lincoln is part of my fond memories from childhood. So I am thrilled.
It's hard to find a video camera that is good in low light and doesn't break the bank so I wil be studying this. Things like the Jedi training and the character interaction are the best.
I am ruling out the overnight trip. We are just doing it as a day trip because Scotty has two races that weekend. One in Montery and one in Davis. I will be putting some miles on me that weekend. Davis isn't so bad, it is less than 30 miles so that isn't bad. And I love the bicycle races in Davis because they love bicyclist and there is a great party atmosphere.
I need a villain hat for sure!!!
Thanks Nerdy Cookies!!
and Brendon!!!
He thought it looked sad![]()
