You must tell us your buzz lightyear secrets! I've never been a galactic hero
See Ya Reel Soon has a really good how-to guide on their YouTube channel! My go-to targets are the back of the robot's hand in the first room, the volcano in the second room, and the bottom of Zurg's ship in the third and final rooms. The robot and the ship are all worth 100,000 points per hit!
Ah, I am LOVING your TR so far! First off, congrats on graduation! Second, you and your friend are so cute! I love when people get REALLY into Disney, it makes me feel like not such a weirdo for being REALLY into Disney. Gotta love the DIS
That stinks about all the rain your first night but you guys really made the best of it! And I always say, a rainy day in Disney is better than a rainy day at home!
I'll be there in Dec staying at Beach Club Villas & we are definitely going to eat at Beaches & Cream (just made ADR's this morning actually!)
That grilled cheese w/ tomato bisque looks RIGHT up my alley...so yummy!
Looking forward to reading more!
Thank you! The actual ceremony was this morning, so it's been a busy couple weeks (hence the lack of chapters!). I think getting really into it is the best way to go. Really just fully immersing ourselves in the magic!
I agree!
So jealous! It's so delicious, I'd definitely recommend it.
Yes!! I said this as well! Right down to them bringing Paint the Night to WDW. That parade is amazing. I really hope they're working on that.
I hope so too! I know Disney is working around budgets and such with Shanghai but I hope this goes on the to-do list.
Just caught up!
When I graduated college people kept asking me if it was my high school graduation too. I guess I must just look young, I actually changed majors and ended up doing an extra year so I was even older than a college grad.
My first time seeing a palm tree in person was also an amazing experience, I kept taking pictures of them and my boyfriend thought it was hilarious that I was so in awe of the trees, haha.
Ah, I can't believe you met Rabbit, good call with your veto power.
Later in the week, some girls thought we'd just graduated 8TH GRADE and were the same age as they were!! (That one was more insulting than flattering!)
She was so excited! I have to admit I was too, though I saw my first palm tree when I was six in Arizona. And then saw some more in Mexico a couple years later.
100% accurate. Glitter gets everywhere and it STAYS. Those kids probably sparkle for months after returning home.
There is still glitter in my things! Cassie and I were pointing it out even in the airport on the way home. That stuff is unreal.
That's a great wait for 7DMT! I hope I see something like that. I'm not that big on the ride itself, the seats are too uncomfortable for my liking, so I've given up trying to make a FP for it. But I'd also obviously never wait an hour in a standby line XD I really want to see the queue though. So here's to hoping for a shorter wait at some point during our upcoming trip!
It was! Especially because Cassie loved it and we only had FP'ed it twice. I'm 5'8 with thicker thighs so I was nervous about the seats, but I don't find them to be too bad. I'm usually so focused on the swaying that if my legs are uncomfortable I don't notice. The little games were really cool with the spinning barrels!
That is weird to me, too. Feels like the parade should be announced first, really. And the Pinocchio float always creeps me out. Also, they are remaking Pete's Dragon so I guess it will become relevant again - but then, they completely changed Elliot's design, so maybe not so much. I'd love for them to bring Paint the Night too, it looks gorgeous. But with how much that parade must cost to produce, and how they've been cutting corners in the US parks (#ThanksShanghai) I don't foresee that happening any time soon.
Hopefully it is a thing for the future. I'd love to experience that parade in person! But as long as it doesn't somehow boot Festival of Fantasy!
Yaaay! I'm glad to hear that. I like Pirates, but with the reports of the standing water filling up the bottom and the waves sloshing over the sides, we decided to skip it last November. Glad to hear we'll be good to ride it again now
It is way smoother now!
I loooove this Disneybound! I want that skirt!
H&M!
(We've yet to have that happen to us, throughout five trips in four years
)
That's a great policy. Let the newbie lead so you don't overwhelm her/overwork her, but put your foot down when she's making stupid choices
(Of course, I'm kidding, it's not stupid choices if it's made from lack of knowledge we veterans have
And even we veterans sometimes make stupid choices
)
Sheesh, you can meet Pluto out and about in like, half the parks. Obviously, Rabbit is a bigger deal! We actually got to meet him once in Christopher Robin's bedroom with Pooh. Our friend was disappointed cause we'd told her Tigger usually meets there, and he's her favorite, but we were bouncing up and down with excitement. She probably thought us a bit insensitive
But we had a special Crystal Palace breakfast booked for the next morning, so we weren't really
We were so excited to see those gates open!! Me moreso than Cassie, of course. She was happy once she knew that Rabbit was rare and that we'd be seeing Pluto at dinner in a few days.
That's awesome to have seen him in the room! I really miss that M&G. One of my favourite Disney memories was when Tigger pulled me out the back door when I was about 15 and we danced to the British Invasion together!
I want to try Beaches and Cream, and get that grilled cheese sandwich. I was thinking that, when that's to happen, I'd ask it without the soup or ask if I could replace it with fries or a salad, because I don't usually like tomato soup. When you're say you're not a huge soup fan, do you typically still like tomato soup, just not an overabundance of it, or not even really?
I do like tomato soup alright: I'm usually texture-based when it comes to being picky with food, so I wasn't thrilled that the soup at Beaches was chunky. That said, I ate almost all of it and sort of ate around the bigger chunks. It was spiced really nicely and was more creamy than regular tomato soup, which surprisingly was more of a turn-on than a turn off. You could always get it with the soup to try it, and if you don't like it there's more room for dessert?
I JUST missed the chance to meet Rabbit when I was in
Disneyland about 10 years ago.
Been wanting my picture with him ever since - you lucky dog!!
I've been looking for him for ten years too! I have never seen him in the parks until this year! Good luck!!
