| Re: Birthday, F&G Festival and Passporters!!! May 28 to June 3 DAY ONE Tuesday, May 30, Day Three: Part 3 <font color="purple">Please No Photos of The Evidence!! We made it to MGM in time to do a couple of rides. I picked up a birthday button and we headed over to Sunset Blvd. FP were out for the day for TOT [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] There was a 30 minute wait for Rock N Roller Coaster so we jumped in the line. After what was more like a 40 minute wait we were finally on the ride. This is my favorite ride at WDW so I was in heaven when we were able to sit in the front. The last time I sat in the front for this ride I didn’t like it…but this time I LOVED it! After we got to the concert venue the CM unloading us said, “Is it really your birthday.” I told him it was my birthday week and he said, “Go thought that door and go for another ride!” [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/woot.gif[/img] Sandy and I giggled like school girls and snuck in the OUT door and were able to get back in the queue for the ride! We didn’t sit in the front but we didn’t care. I think that made Sandy’s day! She was a lot more pleasant after. Oh by the way…I had to get a photo of “my boys” (Rascal Flatts) who’s poster is hanging in Rock N Roller Coaster [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]    We walked over to Great Movie Ride and I looked around for someone I recognized. We didn’t wait to long before Jana, her family, Tina and Jaylan, Yvonne and Sam and Kassie, Princesssharon and her daughter joined us. ***If I forgot anyone I am sorry…we didn’t get a photo I have “Dory” memory*** Amy had texted me earlier letting me know she and her mom were not going to join us for the meet [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/pout.gif[/img] but would see us later at Beaches & cream. The line was HUGE and we waited forever. I think the movie went through 5 cycles before we got to the beginning. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/foreheadslap.gif[/img] We counted the members of our party. How many? Party of 13 [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] please. Finally it was our time to go we loaded into the ride and [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/ukid.gif[/img] Something isn’t right. No lights, no music, no voices, no gunfire, no car jumping out of the garage [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/questionicon.gif[/img] huh? By the time we got to the Western scene all of the Passporters on the ride were looking at each other. We stopped where the ride is suppose to be hijacked. After a few minutes nothing [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Finally the CM got out of character and said, “Obviously we are having a problem here.” All the whole row of Passporter people started laughing. Umm…ya think?? The CM started telling jokes and trivia as we waited to see what was going to happen. Finally an announcement came on explaining we would all be escorted out row by row which is exactly what happened. It was strange walking through the ride. I wish I would have gotten some photos but oh well. So much for riding Great Movie Ride! By the time we got off it was time to head over to Beaches & Cream. Jana and family headed out of the park. Tina, Sandy and I took our time and it seemed like we met just about every Streetmasphere Character on the way to the exit. We were also lucky enough to meet Clarese Chip and Dale’s Girlfriend! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]         By the time we got to the boat dock the boat was just pulling out. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/foreheadslap.gif[/img] Oh, well. I called Amy to let her know we would be late. We got on the next boat and made our way to Beach Club. The group was patiently (or not so patiently) waiting for us when we finally got our butts over there. I apologized for being late [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/sorry.gif[/img] guys! Sandy and I spit a cheese burger and onion rings. I ordered an iced tea and Sandy got a Diet Coke. Dinner was so good. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/yuma.gif[/img] I love B&C cheese burgers! After dinner we tried to decide if we were going to get a kitchen sink. We actually decided we didn’t have enough people willing to eat part of it so we got individual sundaes. Amy and I spit a No Way Jose and Sandy had a Mud Slide. ****WARNING…graphic photos of ICE CREAM [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif[/img] May cause you to eat excess amounts of ice cream and get VERY FAT! Look at your own risk!****    </font>NEXT: Not So Magic Kingdom (for Sandy) |

| Re: Birthday, F&G Festival and Passporters!!! May 28 to June 3 DAY ONE Tuesday, May 30, Day Three: Part 4 Not So Magic Kingdom (for Sandy)<font color="purple"> The group parted ways after ice cream. Tina, Jaylan, Sandy and I headed to the bus stop to catch the bus to MK. Just as we got there the bus pulled up! How is that for timing! The ride to MK was smooth and we were there in no time. We said “goodbye” to Tina and Jaylan and headed toward Fronteirland via the train. The line was too long for Splash and FP were gone so we skipped it. I asked Sandy what she wanted to do in the meantime. She had no suggestions so we kept walking. The line for Haunted Mansion was short so we got in it. In no time we had a Doombuggy and were headed into spook central.  After the ride we walked around Fantasyland and decided to see Mickey’s Philharmagic. By this time it was close to 9:00. When we got in the theater I looked at the time and wondered what time Spectro was. I asked a CM and she assured me that Spectro was at 11 and Wishes was at 10!   At this point Sandy was getting alittle grumpy. We walked back to the hub and decided once Wishes was over we would leave. I knew I would be able to catch Spectro another time during the week. I wanted to get photos so Sandy headed to Main Street Square and I made my way into the crowd in front of the castle and tried to secure a spot to watch Wishes. The spot I found was not so good. I was in the middle of the street between Casey’s and the Ice Cream Parlor. In front of me were CM with HUGE airline like light wands that they held high in the air to direct pedestrian traffic. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img] I positioned myself so that I could get the best shot and the fewest heads. The show started and a kid in front of me decided after each blast he was going to throw his hands in the air. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/foreheadslap.gif[/img] If that wasn’t bad enough a guy in front of me (and about 40 other people) decided to hoist his little girl on his shoulders! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img] A CM went to talk to him but the kid stayed up there so I am not sure what the CM said to him. This was not a good spot to watch so I found a different vantage point to enjoy Wishes and decided not to get pictures. I have the soundtrack for Wishes at home and I play it all the time in my car so I knew when I start headed back to meet Sandy. Once the final firework sequence was in the air I had made it to Main Street Square, I found Sandy, yelled her name and then pointed at the exit. She nodded and we made a sprint to the exit to catch the resort monorail (that just makes one stop at The Contemporary then goes to TTC). We then boarded a monorail to Epcot. It was such a nice relaxing ride I almost fell asleep. Sandy and a maintenance CM were the only ones in our monorail car. We found my SUV without a problem and pulled into Sandy’s condo complex and feel asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.    </font> NEXT: Ohana’ Means Dancing? |
