Hi everyone! So sorry I disappeared there for a bit. I had a big project at work that kept me occupied for a while.
I have no pictures until I got to MK that morning so I’m not sure at this point what I had for breakfast.
I was really the only one that was enthusiastic about spending the money for it.
Mom and I split the cost of EMM as a surprise to John and Jocelyn. I figured that would be a great way to get Peter Pan and 7DMT in without using a FP for them.
I discovered that people were getting calls cancelling some of the Sunday EMMs in October including the one I had booked. Some people had been given extra FPs for the inconvenience while others were getting free tickets to the Halloween Party. I immediately called Mom and we decided that free tickets to the Halloween Party was what we wanted.
(I really was a little disappointed when I first read about the cancellations, but also excited to get to go to the party).
I honestly think I made his day because he sounded very relieved when he offered me the Halloween tickets for that night.
So I ended up getting the full price of EMM refunded to my credit card AND 5 free tickets to MNSSHP that night!
I had a letter with a case number that was e-mailed to me and I needed to take it there to get our tickets.
The CM read over my letter and then gave me four plastic tickets for the party that night.
I walked up to the train station and took some Main Street pictures from there.
I glanced over at Will Call while I was waiting and saw that there was about 20 people in line at that time. Thank goodness I came a little early to get our tickets!
once he started snapping I realized why he was stalling. He was waiting for the fireworks to go off!
had us turn slightly and bend one knee a bit.
I think we used the slight turn/bended knee trick the rest of the trick because it made us look pretty good in the photos.
I had no idea they had a Jungle Cruise boat that could load a wheelchair.
It looked more like a 20-30 minute wait. So instead we bailed and headed to BTMR to use our FP.
Jim and I ended up in the back row which allowed me to take some pictures along the way. I don’t like to take them unless I’m in the back row because I don’t want to block anyone’s view.
I let Jim know where the camera was so at least the two of us knew where to look.
I had hoped to get more than four rides in that morning but crowds were a lot heavier than I was expecting.
The line to order was about ½ way up the bridge so I’m really glad I took the time to make that call.
I’m not sure if they were just adding to their order or if they ended up in the wrong line somehow.
Oh, because I placed the order ahead of time, I had to pay for everyone’s meal, they can’t split the bill on a pre-order. I was fine with this but wanted to mention it so others will be aware of it.
I actually really enjoy sitting in this room, it’s much quieter and usually a lot less crowded than the ballroom.
I’ve never sat in the West Wing because I find it too dark. I like to see what I’m eating!
I think everyone really enjoyed their meals.
he chocolate cupcake is pretty much a must do for me.
My first purchase was a Mickey rain coat.
I also got a Star Wars toy for our dogs.
Once we got to Epcot, we scanned into the park, picked up a couple of food and wine passport books and then turned around and headed back to the buses.
Up Next: Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party
my Mom asked him to stop off at Walmart and pick up two coffee pots for our rooms. They were $9 a piece so much cheaper than buying coffee every day. Mom and Jocelyn are big coffee drinkers so they just brought supplies from home to make their own coffee.
We were only a few people back from the front and this was the scene behind us.
Unlike the first two times though, I loaded into the car first. Wow! What a difference being on that side makes. I found it a lot more thrilling because any time the track leans a bit it’s towards the left. Being seated on the left side, you get a much better view of the huge drop to the ground on those curves!
Overall not my favorite place and I probably won’t go back any time soon. But as always, I’m glad I gave it a try so I could form my own opinion. I know a lot of people really enjoy HBD.
I’m going to abbreviate that as AS2 since you can’t type out the actual initials here on the DIS
We ended up getting two almost complete rides thanks to whomever stood up the first time!
The Photo Pass photographer took a while to get us lined up and I was starting to get impatient but once he started snapping I realized why he was stalling. He was waiting for the fireworks to go off!
I know the feeling!I want to get it up today so I will be back next week to catch up on replies and also start the long process of catching up on everyone else's threads!
Sweet! I heard about that on Backside of Magic, and it sounded like an awesome make-up! Wonder if you could have asked for 3 FPs as well?So when I got the call the next day, I played along with the CM, acting surprised and disappointed when he told me it was cancelled (I really was a little disappointed when I first read about the cancellations, but also excited to get to go to the party). He then asked if we could do the Tuesday EMM instead. Before I could even tell him no, he saw that I had an ADR at AK that day and that one of my party (Jim) didn’t have hoppers so that was not an option for us. He then asked if we were going to the Halloween Party that week and here’s where I poured it on pretty thick. I said no, we had wanted to but the cost was just a little bit above our price range so we decided to do EMM instead. I honestly think I made his day because he sounded very relieved when he offered me the Halloween tickets for that night. I think he probably had some pretty ugly calls before mine with people being upset over the cancellation. So I ended up getting the full price of EMM refunded to my credit card AND 5 free tickets to MNSSHP that night!
Lovely!Mom really wanted some nice pictures in our Fab 5 shirts so we stopped along Main Street for some photos. The Photo Pass photographer took a while to get us lined up and I was starting to get impatient but once he started snapping I realized why he was stalling. He was waiting for the fireworks to go off!
Well, it's too bad that your EMM was cancelled, but you certainly can't complain about free party tickets.So I ended up getting the full price of EMM refunded to my credit card AND 5 free tickets to MNSSHP that night!
Those pictures are really good, it was worth the wait. The photographers are such a hit or miss. It's great when you get one who enjoys what they do and wants to give you a good result.Mom really wanted some nice pictures in our Fab 5 shirts so we stopped along Main Street for some photos.

How strange. I would expected light crowds on a party day. Weird.I had hoped to get more than four rides in that morning but crowds were a lot heavier than I was expecting.
I have to confess that I have never been to Be Our Guest, and part of the reason is the whole process seems a bit confusing to me. I suppose it's not that difficult, I just could never quite figure out what the most efficient way is to do this restaurant.We made it up to Fantasyland and BOG right on time and I checked us in. I had preordered for us so I was handed a plastic yellow rose and told to walk down the left side of the bridge. I had some trouble placing the pre-order and had to call Disney tech support to get it fixed. The line to order was about ½ way up the bridge so I’m really glad I took the time to make that call. There were two families in front of us to pay for pre-orders and for some reason it was taking a long time.
This is the smile of a lady who just scored 5 free tickets and a refund on Disney!! woooo hooo!!
Such a great picture!! Definitely worth the wait
I will have to remember this trick!I think we used the slight turn/bended knee trick the rest of the trick because it made us look pretty good in the photos.
The people in the front look pretty terrified...

Me too. I was following someone else's and was encouraged to write. Here I am.
One Jets ticket ranges from $100 for nosebleed to $300. That's one ticket.
You have varied collecting tastes. Plutos, bears, elephants, pressed pennies.... I'm sure there's more.
Maybe through the parking lots? Do they share? I could look... but I don't want to.
We're gonna try to rope drop it I think because that's the same day we're doing AK (only so many days at WDW this trip) and we need to FP FOP.
FP would stand for Fast Pee.
Plus they've moved it haven't they?
Don't you mean their voyage?
sometimes you need to take a break and just... be in the moment.
Huh. So not just spinning, then.
Yeah, that's a bit away. Could've been worse, I suppose.
I can relate. My mom has similar issues. She has to eat.
Have some corn!
Too much $$ for too little ribs.
You were in it? Cool! What parts did you play?
Not a fan?
Interesting that that one doesn't bother him. I know it bothers me a little.
Yep. Guess that would explain it all right. Wonder what was up?
I've stopped doing Space Mountain because of the jarring and I know it won't be long before this one goes too.
So you were snorting snow in Disney, were you?
I've never seen the show (I'm not generally a fan of Disney shows, so...) but I might in May. Good to know.
I can't do that. It's tempting, but... I go on vacation to have someone clean up after me!
I loved it! That was the only Cobb salad I have ever had though and I wasn't disappointed at all.
That was a total bummer!
Yea, crazy! Bad timing, I guess!
Who does these things?? But good for you
Ha! Typical husband!
I'm sad that I never did get into Launch Bay on my last trip. But none of my family besides me like Star Wars at all, so I just didn't want to deal with dragging them through there. It does look like there are some interesting props there.
I think all Jazz is preferred now. When I was researching my room request in August, some time ago preferred was only Calypso but now it's both buildings.
I'm familiar with this kind of thing. My oldest DD is Type 1 Diabetic so sugar management is important, and hard to do at Disney. We generally find her sugars get high because of all the treats and big meals, but it can easily go low with all the walking and if you eat less.
The 13 year old boy in me is terribly disappointed with the AS2 abbreviation
Interesting. This happened to my family too, but I thought it may have been because we got the last show of the night and they were trying to get rid of all the snope for cleaning or something.
I was also on the 3rd floor in Calypso and found it nice and quiet. Definitely a trade off for convenience compared to 1st floor, but I think I preferred it.
Isn't he so thoughtful and sweet. Your early morning crowd at DHS sounds nut's. Gotta say that all your meals at Brown Derby looked small.
