That was nice of the CM to let you ride Toy Story again, it gave you a chance to ride with DS!
Love the pics with Mickey & Minnie! It's great that you only have to wait in one line to meet them both there.
I've never seen those sinks before, cool!!
It was nice getting a bonus ride since the first one didn't really work out.
It's nice that they both got a brand new set up since they got kicked out of the animation building. And definitely nice that it's only one line for both!
That's annoying - I was going to say I hope you mentioned it to a CM and they let you ride again or gave you a FP...
But then you went on to say this lol! That's great
It was a nice bonus since it was a less than fun first ride. DH and DS really made out on the deal since they got 2 good rides out of it!! lol
In December I looked for the new meet & greet location briefly (ie. I didn't give it much more effort than walking past the old Sorcerer Mickey meet near TSMM, remember he'd moved, and then forgetting to look where he was now lol). What a cool place!! Def going on my to-do list for June
It's right across from Sci-Fi, I think the American Idol auditions used to be in that space.
So he is too afraid to ride BTMRR but enjoys this?? LOL Aria is terrified of this ride, but loves BTMRR. Go figure!
He is a bit inconsistent when it comes to what he will ride and what he won't! lol I am going to try my hardest to get him on BTMRR in DL and hopefully Kong in the fall at Universal. I have been showing him pictures from TRs of Aria and Peter riding it and telling him how much younger they are than him and they aren't scared!
Oh, I wish we had met Sorcerer Mickey - he's just so cute!!
He's my favorite styled Mickey to meet!
That's a pretty nice M&G, that's for sure! We don't even do M&G anymore since DD hates them now. (She hates most things - darn surly teenager.)
We haven't seen muppets 3-D in AGES. We were going to last trip, but ended up not having time. Maybe sometime this year.
DS already fights me on character meets, so thankfully I'll have a few more years with DD before we get to the flat out refusals!
Hopefully you get to fit it in next time! Such a classic!
It's a shame your son didn't have his Sorcerer Mickey hat on for the pictures with him. I know he often wears it in the parks.
It was so nice of the cast member to let you ride Toy Story again. A little unexpected pixie dust is so nice.
I know, right?! I don't know why he didn't have it that day, to be honest.
It was definitely a nice surprise that was very much appreciated!
The sets look great, especially Mickey's. Love the Yensid reference in the spell book. If I'm being honest, I'm not a big fan of Minnie's outfit though. Not to ruin any magic here, but when you look at her bare arms, you can see stitching in the black on her shoulders. I know that's being very picky, but I've noticed it before.
That's so true, I never noticed that about Minnie's arms in that particular dress! I totally see it now. Good thing the kids are oblivious lol.
Backlot Express is a place I have never been, but I've read it's generally decent, for standard quick service food. Those sinks do look like fun, I can imagine my youngest DD getting a kick out of them. What is the theming there? I guess it's some kind of workers change room or something?
They do have a pretty good selection for a QS, so that's why we like it. It's supposed to be like a prop warehouse, I think. There's a lot of props hanging from the ceiling and stuff, and they play a lot of well known music from TV and movies. My dad gets a kick out of it because he loves Sanford & Son and they play the theme music a lot in there! I think that back corner where the sinks are is supposed to be a break room of sorts because I seem to remember some old lockers there too.
I didn't know about the key on our last trip. I would love to show this to DD. I expect she may have the same reaction as your son. I think I would get a bigger laugh out of it because I'm such a Muppets fan.
DH and I definitely appreciate it a lot more than DS does!! lol He was like, what's the big deal...it's a key?!
I'm here Ive been absent for disboards for awhile, excited to catch up!
Welcome back!!!
