I love your shirt! I'm definitely going to have to up my fashion game for the May trip!
Some people will just find anything to complain about
I just realized while looking at your pics that I don't have ANY pics of me on SDD, and I went on at least 5 times Was I supposed to tap something? I guess I assumed they'd show up in my photos.
I'm confident that she is getting that shot, no matter what!
Steve had a very productive morning!
The expression on her face is priceless!
I love Chunky Sis's love of character M&G's!
The salad and steak look delish but what is up with that pasta?? Definitely sad looking chicken!
Can't wait to see who you met!
We could not get fast passes for SDD on our December trip. It makes me concerned for the crowds, but are going to try to ride it at rope drop. We're going to HS on an EMH day, so hopefully we can get it done first thing. It looks like such a fun ride!
That's odd that you get photos of everyone on SDD. You would think they would have that figured out.
I'm actually looking forward to catching a glimpse of Galaxy's Edge! I don't need to be surprised when it comes to something like that. I agree that some people just complain way too much. I have co-workers who look for things to whine about.
I love Mama Melrose. The chicken parm is my go to dish there and the adorable spaghetti and meatballs cupcake is a winner with the grandkids.
I think SDD at RD works really well if you can be somewhat towards the front of the pack! We did it last month and had about a 20 minute wait which was awesome.
I love that CS even met the Disney Jr characters lol.
That's pretty funny!! I've never heard of that before and think it's hilarious!
This receives my "rant approval".
This is actually one of the better salads on property that I've seen.
I dont think your SDD photos are bad at all! You look super cute!! I cannot wait to see TSL!! And that lemonade from Mama Melrose looks soooo interesting with the pink foam!!
I was always wondering where you got this, because I LOVE it!!!
This looks so refreshing!
Steve totally looks like he needs to be on the Top Gun movie poster or something. Odd we never got any pictures on SDD so I"m gonna go with our ride picture was definitely not the best
It's like she's never met any character ever with that expression
Great picture of you 3, though is the person next to ChunkySis sleeping
Totally looks like you all are trying to call a time out
Gotta say that "foam" looks a little too much like yogurt to me
Glad to hear your meal was so good, especially the steak!!!
Sounds like such a fun time at DHS! I love that you and Steve matched with your alien shirts
I LOVE your alien shirt!!! TOO cute!
How lucky are you?! Front row on SDD, AND multiple rides on my favorite R'nRC!
Can't wait to see if your sister was able to meet the dwarfs!! It's one of my fav meets, too, even though I despise the waiting!
I found that to be a problem too. Of the three SDD rides my family did, I think we only had one picture come out OK. I hope they improve this over time.
I had this, although it was 4 years ago, but I thought it was very good. I would definitely get it again.
I’ll have to try Mama Melrose and that steak next time I’m in the World. I’ve never been there, but that steak looks delicious!
And I loved seeing the Galaxy’s Edge progress from SDD this summer! It felt like a special sneak peek!
Such a fun day!
We always enjoy lunch at Mama's! I usually get one of their flatbreads and they're so yummy! That steak looks fantastic though, and I don't even LIKE steak!
I’m loving your trip report and all the outfits! We’re going to be eating at Teppan Edo and doing the Bon Voyage breakfast for the first time on our upcoming trip, I love seeing all the pics! I’ll be really disappointed if Flynn Rider isn’t there (my daughter will only refer to him as Eugene). How early did you get in line for Mulan? She is on our must-see list this trip.
Yeah I normally don't bother with many character photos but I want to see the Toy Story gang in their Christmas accessories!
I hope they improve it before you get there!Ugh, that is going to suck!
Yeah, even from the photo it doesn't look the most appetizing! Still want to try the steak though!
What a fun morning! Trying to refrain from AS2 jokes... I can be a grown up, I can be a grown up...
Mama Melrose steak sure gets a lot of accolades. Might need to check that out!
Breakfast looked good.
I love the Mussels at Mama Melroses, so yummy, but that steak looks great.
Yes! You couldn't not! You guys really had some awesome pictures that day
I didn't think it was possible to not scream at take off!
I can't even fathom the number of times I've thought to myself when taking pictures at Disney "only a DISer would understand"
That sounds exactly like something my DH would say.
I spend way too much time and money in that store! Of course I also love Ever After Jewelry Co. and can spend just as much time and money there.
I've only met Buzz one time and it was a very weird meet. He took my hand and just wouldn't let go. I think he was trying to be affectionate but it went on a bit too long and crossed over to the creepy and uncomfortable.
Cool! I never saw a photographer there last week but we did find one at the Checker Wall.
People like to complain about all the new things. But please if you're going to complain, don't ride it and leave more FP for us!Totally agree with you on this one. I don't get why it's a problem there and not elsewhere. You can see pretty much the whole park from the top of TOT (although it's only a small glimpse before you start falling) and I never hear complaints about that.
Huh, that's weird. I just got the car I was in for both my August and October trips. We did have one ride last week where the cameras weren't working. I never saw the flashes go off and the picture didn't show up in our account.
I can't wait to hear how many character CS got pics with!
Sounds like a great afternoon in DHS!
I chose Mama Melrose as the only option for us as part of the Fantasmic! Dinner package. We were on the dinning package and I had heard so many bad reviews about Hollywood and vine and we didn't want to pay 2 table service credits for Brown Derby. We were very surprised by how good Mama Melrose was. It has become one of my husbands favorite places. One of the few he still talks about.
Yep. With elbows up.
"We rode four different roller coasters two times each. And we got the front row every time!"
"Hey! That's great!"
"We wanted the back row."
"Oh."
Sounds like fun. And sterile. No more colds! Woot!
(As she notes he didn't disagree...)
What? This is a game changer! Now I want it!
On vacation, we avoid any kind of restaurants we can get at home (like Italian), but I waver on that every time I see the macaroni and cheese that comes with that Mama Melrose steak.
I don't do any free-falling type rides
I've heard some people complain about being able to see into Galaxy's Edge, and that it ruins the "magic" of being exclusively in Toy Story Land.
Seriously?
But what boggles my mind more is that they would find something like that to complain about?!? They must have perfect lives.
Steve and I were trying to do our best "Vogue" pose but he is way more vogue than me with my mouth hanging wide open.
I cannot not scream when we take off!
We ordered our drinks, and I got the lemonade with wildberry foam
The Mixed Green Salad with fresh Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Artichoke Hearts, Feta Cheese, and Red Wine-Oregano Vinaigrette:
And my favorite Charred Strip Steak with Four-Cheese Macaroni with Pancetta, Aged Balsamic-Shallot Butter, and Chianti Wine Reduction:
If you're here, I would just go for the steak!!
That's how he walks in the NYC subway!!
OK the back row was a lot of fun too!!
True... I could use one this season.
Grill marks or six-pack abs?
I did not know that you don’t like ToT! I used to hate it but now it’s one of my faves!
Really?? I’m with you; like just don’t look over there then
I think lots of people just like to complain just to complain
Cute how you are both doing the same “Vogue”. I just recently rode RNC for the very first time and was totally horse afterwards from all the screaming I did.
Sorry but the foam bit looks awful thick to me! Was it good?
Yum!! Anything with artichokes is my jam
Again, yum!! I also lived the steak there. So good!!
Just started writing my very first pre-trip report and have to say my intro pales in comparison!! Looking forward to joining you on this journey
I bet that's a bit of a necessity.
A cold? Just go to any school and stand around. Or touch... anything.
Well, six-pack abs ain't never gonna happen… so I'll settle for grill marks.
How did I miss that you had another trip report on the go?! Off to catch up!
Just trying to catch up everywhere, so I'll make this a quick one! Great character photos and I'm glad you made all your rides and such!
The chicken did look rubbery and way too many tomatoes. I'm so hungry right now, that steak and mac sounds wonderful!
Nah... I forgive easilySorry about that. Guess that'll be a "No" in the marriage proposal department then.
ExactlyThanks! When one wears matching t-shirts...
Oh yum
Oh your facial expression is great. Have fun on your trip.
it's been a crazy month. I'll fill you guys in later but let's just say I'm glad this week is over.
Clue: It's not Disney-related, but portion of where we will be is featured on a Disney ride!
I'm working on a Surface Pro which I'm not used to so bear with me!
My sister headed out earlier because she was determined to get character pictures, especially the 7 Dwarfs. I told her, GOOD LUCK! I knew she could do it but I set her mind up to expect a very long wait, just so she knew what she was getting herself into!
Steve and I on the other hand decided that we would be more chill this year with the character pics and try and do more rides and maybe a couple of magic shots.
It had been raining on and off all afternoon and we were worried the party would be a soaker, so we opted to NOT wear costumes this year, just so we'd be more comfortable.
Instead we just wore some Halloween inspired attire.
One of the first things we did was to pick up the special Orange Bird MNSSHP SoTMK cards.
One of them happened to find it's way to @missjackiemcg post-trip. I was so happy to be able to get one for her son and it looked like he enjoyed the package I sent over
t's tater tots with cheese sauce, bacon and green onion.
OMG these were perfect! I love plastic cheese. Actually I love all kinds of cheese.
The green onion added a nice freshness to the dish which would otherwise be just carbs and fat. #nothingwrongwiththat
The Peter Pan Float!!
She was in line for the Dwarfs right now and that it had been close to 90 minutes at this point but she was 10th on line.
We decided to wait for Mine Train as the wait went down to 35 minutes!
First Magic Shot!
Then we decided to ride the tea cups, just because it looked like they were doing something fancy for the evening. It was literally just different music, flashing lights, and a very very lame smoke machine.
Our only real character meet of that day was with Alice and the Mad Hatter,
And then we rode the Peoplemover - all time favorite ride!
So...my sister waited 90 minutes and she sent me this picture:
Although she was wearing her Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs dress but you can't see it in the picture!
Steve and I headed to Space Mtn next. I haven't been on this ride in about a year, it's always been too choppy and jerky as of late
They were only a few cars behind (or in front? Can't remember) and we met up outside after the ride.
I don't know why they thought Baymax was a good magic shot here but it's funny!
Then since we were right there, we did the Peoplemover again! I played stalker papparazzi with Alyssa and Zack.
@cinderkelly and I had been texting since she was here for the weekend and she just so happened to be at MNSSHP that night as well.
Her 101 Dalmations outfit wqas so cute!
I'll leave the location a surprise
Oooooooh! I'll be anxiously watching InstagramClue: It's not Disney-related, but portion of where we will be is featured on a Disney ride!
Me too! In fact, my sisters and I have a joke/not really a joke: "What's your favorite kind of cheese?" "Product."OMG these were perfect! I love plastic cheese. Actually I love all kinds of cheese.
I think they oversold that oneThen we decided to ride the tea cups, just because it looked like they were doing something fancy for the evening. It was literally just different music, flashing lights, and a very very lame smoke machine.
She is so dedicated! And her outfits are just amazing. Wish the Seven Dwarfs one was visible!Yes my sister did change into her Halloween dress even though she really didn't get to show off her Snow White dress!
The mountains really are great for chance encountersWhile we were on line through the part that snakes around, we run into...@amalone and her DH!!
That is so hysterical to me! And Baymax is kinda in an awkward pose which doesn't help mattersI don't know why they thought Baymax was a good magic shot here but it's funny!
