I bet the castle looks even better with the lighting like that.

Wow, you took me right there! That looks like such amazing spot........oh sorry lost in thought there! Glad you are having a wonderful time. You are braver than me, I still have not tried ToT, maybe on trip #4 in May I will be brave enough! Maybe.

I was doing laundry late at night at GF...and I was sitting by the marina, around 11pm I looked up and the castle was dark...silly me..I didn't know the lights ever went out

[babyberger]

I figure while the kids are taking showers I would go back try to get some comments in

The main reason my DH wants to add another day to our trip is to be able to go to DHS to finally get me to ride ToT and RnRC. I'm just afraid I'll get sick.

I thought my mornings were hard enough having to get up at 7 AM and not going to bed until midnight - 1 AM. They were really bad when I didn't go to bed until 3:30 - 4 AM and had to get up at 7.

That's what I assumed as well.

Lets see, I went on ToT for the first time ever. DH and I couldn't figure out why I've never been on but the kids finally wanted to try it so I got to go, YAY!

We also finally got to go on the new Test Track. DS was soooo happy as it's one of his favs and it has been closed the past three times we were here.

DS and I went on Mission Space (green side). DD chickened out once we were inside so DH took her out. It was DS' first time and he really liked it. We have steered clear of it for years because DH and I went on when it first opened and both got sooo sick. We haven't been on since it was revamped but we decided it was time. So much better, although I don't know if I want to brave the orange side

We ended up having dinner at the Liberty Inn in the America pavilion as they have GF hot dog and hamburg buns and I really didn't want the kids to have GF Mac and cheese again for dinner. So they got hot dogs but they don't have a dedicated fryer for fries and didn't have any potato chips so the kids were a little bummed. I even ran down through a few countries trying to find a cart with chips, but you know because I was looking for them no one had them

We are out now making a stop at Walgreens then heading back to DTD to get more donuts from Babycakes for the morning. I promise to take pictures of them this time

Melissa, for you to go out of your comfort zone!! Hope the kids liked ToT as well. Went on the new TT in January. I have yet to try Mission Space...

Lovin' all your pictures so far.... it's so cool to see the castle and space mountain from your room...

Melissa, so nice that your DH loves Disney as much as you..

Jen, I tried it 2 years ago with DD (and I've always had a fear of elevators) didn't remember much from the first time (sheer terror!), but the second and third time (with Magic & Linda holding my hands!!) it got more fun... try it!! Life is short.

Pas, we traded texts yesterday...Kook did call, no avail, she said it was a sign to stay with the cabins... I agreed!!

My vote is to add another park day... you don't have to go on RnR or ToT... ... there is TSM which is fabulous!! As well as Beauty and the Beast, little mermaid, etc. Do you like coasters? I'm a fan, just not the upside down variety... have gone on RnR about 6 times and decided its not a necessity for me.. ToT has grown on me.

Sleep is a luxury for me I survive on catnaps

With the castle..it's like someone just flipped the switch off

Sorry to go offtopic Melissa

[Missoutandabout]

Oh, those CAKES! What were they? Seriously drooling over that pic.

Yay for riding ToT! After our Space Mountain mishap, Miss M has turned into a over lots of rides. (Of course, it was my fault for rushing us on there since it was walk-on, bad mommy. ) One of these days though, one day!

How'd everyone like the new TT? It kinda reminded me of Space Mountain in a way... with the revamped effects. Had to keep telling Miss M (who was hesitant even though she went on it previously), "It's just like riding in mommy's car."

Have you guys done the walk from CR to MK?

Okay, sorry for the plethora of questions! Now, I'm going to sit back and enjoy the castle pic. (And then go back to price out CR again. )

Well then, WCC just wouldn't be much fun, now would it?

Sci Fi is a lot of fun and last August we tried that burger that has a hot dog in it - craziness! Our server laughed when I asked when they took the popcorn away - guess it's been a while

I read that LI now serves a mighty fine steak (at a resonable price). Did anyone try it?

I, too would love to know your TT impressions - I've read some negative comments in contrast to the original version.

I can't do drops and spinning in circles so no more ToT or tea cups for me. The one time we went on ToT DD was about 4 and when we completed the first drop she called out, "I wanna get off now, please."

Janet does have an uncanny GPS which did find me having no success changing back to CR from FWC. There are only a limited number of SOG overflow rooms and CR is no more. I had a lot of trouble even getting through to change so that was a sign right there.

You hardly even get catnaps, they're more like gerbil naps.

Actually, the Values and Mods do fill up quicker, but those extra-overcharged Deluxes, not so fast. We actually found the resorts to be pretty empty last spring break, the parks, however, whole other story.

Yes, sorry Melissa - it's in our blood and you're like a blood relative and we're those relatives who stay too long on your basement Aerobed

Does this mean we're going to see you on the CR thread soon?

PLEASE, do tell your SPACE MT. MISHAP SAGA! (Please feel free to embellish any boring parts.)

Kookster, I will be visiting your humble CR abode much more frequently now. Just put the deposit down today...

And it's all Melissa's and your fault.

(The Space Mountain thing was boring, really. It was during heavy rain -- there was no wait so I rushed us on. She didn't have time to mentally prepare and it scared the almighty bejeebus outta her. Bad mommy is me. )
