Actually, I was kind of afraid of something like this happening. I checked in online a few weeks ahead of time, and I kept getting e-mails all the way up to the day before reminding me to check in online. I know for a fact that I did check in online, because I went back into it every time I got one of those e-mails to verify everything and make sure we had it. So I really don’t know what the issue was, but the CM quickly re-entered my credit card info and got us taken care of.
That's pretty annoying. This is good for me to know though, I'm planning on doing online check in for the first time for the summer, and I'll make sure to look out for extra emails just in case. Glad everything worked out ok!
She made sure to give DD a few stickers and an invitation from Princess Tiana to stay in one of her royal rooms!
This is sooo cute! What a nice touch!
I am in love with these rooms! Gosh I really have to stay here!!
DD, however, was in no mood for pictures so we left her in the stroller next to the photographer.
Great picture!
I’m a Star Wars fan, and I’m excited about the upcoming new land.
See I'm not a Star Wars fan, but I'm starting to get more and more excited about Star Wars Land. It sounds like what Disney is going to do will be awesome! It's just going to take forever to get there!
Aw! Too cute! I love her Anna dress too
I like how Minnie is there with a MMC background. I heard they are about to change her location again right? Hopefully it will be pretty permanent!
We parked the stroller and went and found seats about 15 rows up on the second section from the left about 20 minutes before the show would start. Not the best seats in the house, but we also didn’t have to show up 2 hours before show time so I’ll take it.
Not bad at all!
We enjoyed the show and as was starting to become a trend, we just watched. Between the 2 of us, not 1 picture was taken. DD managed to stay awake for the whole show this time and I think she really liked it!
That's great. I feel like you can enjoy a show on a whole different level when you don't have a phone/camera in your hand.
After the aisles around us finally cleared out, we headed up to the top of the theater and joined the crowd waiting to get out. We were almost to the sound booth that sits in the back of the theater, when I noticed a bit of commotion off to the side. There was a lady standing there trying to hide a probably 7 or 8 year old boy who was peeing on the side of the building while the masses were walking past about 2 feet away.
Oh no.. like come on! There are bathrooms right outside the theater!
When we got back out to Hollywood Blvd, we could hear the music coming from the stage near the theater, and they were playing some Walk the Moon. Specifically, Shut Up and Dance.
That song is was/is so overplayed it's ridiculous!
Well, DD had heard it enough that it was stuck in her head. Rather than fighting the crowds to get a tram to the parking lot, DW said she was fine with walking so the whole way out of the park and through the parking lot, DD was singing Shut Up and Dance.
That is so cute! I love how outgoing she is!
When we got into the room, we found a surprise sitting on our table. Someone had sent us a gift bag! There were some cups and plushes for the kids, but no note with them to let us know who it was from. Well, DW coaches cheerleading at a local HS. One of her cheerleaders had an older brother who was actually moving down to start the College Program the same week we were there. DW sent a text to her mom and found out they were the ones who sent it. It was very nice of them, and we made plans to meet up with the brother who was doing the CP on Friday evening at MK.
That is so sweet! What a nice surprise, very magical!
By this time it was after 8 and MK had EMH until 10. Was it worth even trying it??
HECK YEAH!!!
Good for you! Solo MK EMK, sounds like heaven!
I got in line, figuring that if this was all I could do, at least it was one of my all-time favorites and a must do. It ended up being a 20 minute wait, and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride.
Yay!
I had heard how great 7DMT is at night and how it is a different experience after dark much like BTMRR. I wanted to ride it. The wait was posted at 45 minutes.
I agree, especially when you have so little time there, not worth it.
I think the posted wait time when I got to Space was 15 minutes, but I only waited 10. I always love Space, and I’m glad I had a chance to ride it.
Lol great picture!
I ordered an All-American Sundae and enjoyed it as I walked down a nearly empty Main Street. Seriously, it was the perfect way to end an evening.
Perfect dinner!
Wow, sondns like a perfect day in Disney. And a perfect ending!
