Throw Up on the Lap Bars Please- A June 2019 TR! COMPLETED 3/1!

Dollywood/Great Smoky Mountains/Nashville/Kentucky

Ahh... great trip! We go to the Smokies usually every other year or so. Love it there. And Nashville is probably my favorite city!

Drank a lot.

Because when in Nashville...

I used that time to find out our next Test Track FP had also become a multiple experiences FP and was able to book Frozen Ever After for 4:30- 5:30! Another major FP score!

Dang!!! Those multi FPs are nice but the Frozen FP is a great score!

The rest of humanity also made this choice.

This is the FP line we joined.

And this seems to be the problem with multi FPs.

However, I've always found they move the FP lines quickly even when they're backed up. This wasn't the case this time.

I kind of noticed that this last trip too. FP lines didn't seem to live up to the fast part of their name anymore.

Here's our beautiful creation. My goal is always to make the most ridiculous car possible- anyone else?

I usually just go for inefficiency. More power, less efficent. Now I just help the kids... thankfully L is all about power too, but for some reason he likes to pick the super charger instead of the plasma burner.

Ah geez!! Didn't realize I missed an update... sorry, the notification settings on the new DIS server are super funky!!

They really are!

Girl you are so stunning!!!! That lip color and the color of your romper are amazing on you, especially against the wall!!!

Omg thank you so much

This is the DREAM

Yesss.

I am so sorry. I would have had words with this mother, probably to the dismay of my OWN mother.

Ugh I wish I had said something! I had my better-person-act on for some reason.

Can the Soarin' queue guests please pull it together

Seriously!!

That's our goal, too!!!

Yess!

I have never seen these before!!! Dad is a huge Test Track fan, we need to do this on our next trip!!!

Yess we had so much fun doing it! You need to do it!

 

[lvcourtneyy]

Great! Glad you did.

Thank you!

Now that's cool!

It was. It was only 50 degrees in the cave compared to the 95 degree weather.

It was also cool to experience.

This is a verrrrrry long day.

There may or may not be a nap in the middle of Epcot in the next update.

"You smell like cheese sir. And not in a good way."


hmmm... is there a good way to smell like cheese?

I love cheese. I do not love people (or mice) who smell like cheese.

Love that shot.

That's just.... really weird.

Yeah I have no idea what the deal was with anyone in that line.

Holy smokes! You sure you weren't in the standby line? Yikes!

Seriously! I kinda wish we were in the standby line- maybe that's where the normal people were.

I'd go for that oreo one.

That was my pick too.

OMG. What the heck even is that???

 

[lvcourtneyy]

That photo of Goofy covering his eyes while you guys kiss is great. Goofy is always one of the more fun characters to interact with.

Thank you! He is for sure!

Yikes, that FP line for Soarin' looks nuts. I can imagine the Land is a go-to place when it rains. It's indoors, has food, multiple attractions, etc.

It was nuts. Yup, I wish I had realized how many other people would have the same idea I did!

 

[lvcourtneyy]

Your trip looked sooo fun, I loved seeing all the pics on Instagram!

Thank you! We had a great time!

Cute pics at character spot!

Thank you!

Yikes, what a long FP wait for Soarin! Even worse when you're surrounded by such annoying people!

Ugh it was terrible! It would've been tolerable with normal people around us but they really made it miserable.

 

[lvcourtneyy]

Yikes! Sounds like a fun time...

Absolute misery!!

I will have to remember this!

I'm sure Mike will never forget now.

 

[lvcourtneyy]

Glad to hear you had a fun trip to Dollywood, we're considering a cousins trip there sometime.

Thank you! I highly recommend it. We had a great trip.

Love, love, love the photos - especially the Goofy one!

Thank you!

 

[lvcourtneyy]

Your trip to Kentucky looked fun!

Thank you! We had a great trip.

Ah, I love visiting the Character Spot! That picture with Goofy is GREAT - what a great character interaction!

So do I! Thank you!

YIKES that Fastpass line! I'm impressed that you stayed in that line and didn't bail. At least you were rewarded later with a better experience in the Test Track line!

Ugh we should've bailed! By the time we realized how terrible it was gonna be, we had already spent a good chunk of time in line and decided to stick it out.

The Oreo cheesecake Mickey looks quite tasty!

It was delicious!

 

[lvcourtneyy]

Ahh the character spot looks so fun!

We had some great interactions!

We found the Soarin FP line was super long the last couple of trips, yuck!

Ugh very frustrating!

Your trip to Dollywood looks like a fun time!

Thank you! It was a lot of fun!

 

[lvcourtneyy]

Ahh... great trip! We go to the Smokies usually every other year or so. Love it there. And Nashville is probably my favorite city!

Wow I'm jealous- I'd love to go every other year! It was so much fun- I can't wait to go back!

Because when in Nashville...

Exactly!

Dang!!! Those multi FPs are nice but the Frozen FP is a great score!

Yes! I was very proud lol

And this seems to be the problem with multi FPs.

Agreed.

I kind of noticed that this last trip too. FP lines didn't seem to live up to the fast part of their name anymore.

Agreed again sometimes.

I usually just go for inefficiency. More power, less efficent. Now I just help the kids... thankfully L is all about power too, but for some reason he likes to pick the super charger instead of the plasma burner.

Yup I always lose on efficiency. Aw lol- he'll learn!!

It was. It was only 50 degrees in the cave compared to the 95 degree weather.

Still... nice to get out of the heat for a bit... but not for too long. Thinking the temperature difference might've been a bit... jarring.

There may or may not be a nap in the middle of Epcot in the next update.

Rode Spaceship Earth, did you?

I love cheese. I do not love people (or mice) who smell like cheese.

Seriously! I kinda wish we were in the standby line- maybe that's where the normal people were.

So you consider yourself normal???

 

[TheOneWithTheTriplets]

I love the scared Mickey photo. Too funny!

Bummer about the Soarin' line. At least you didn't have a repeat of that at TT. You must have made it over before people realized it was back up and running.

I'm a little jealous of the drivers licenses. I had this on my list but the booths were down for maintenance during our trip. It's a silly little thing, but the girls would have liked having them for their pretend wallets.

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

Signed up and caught up!

It was a nice break but definitely a little shocking at first!

Rode Spaceship Earth, did you?

I have napped there before! But that wasn't the location this time.

So you consider yourself normal???

You got me on that one.

 

[lvcourtneyy]

I love the scared Mickey photo. Too funny!

Bummer about the Soarin' line. At least you didn't have a repeat of that at TT. You must have made it over before people realized it was back up and running.

Yeah I think we must've just gotten there at the perfect time. Thank goodness!

I'm a little jealous of the drivers licenses. I had this on my list but the booths were down for maintenance during our trip. It's a silly little thing, but the girls would have liked having them for their pretend wallets.

I understand. Sometimes it's the smallest things that make great memories.

 

[lvcourtneyy]

Signed up and caught up!

Thank you for joining and reading!!

 

[Ela1972]

Sorry I’m late to the party, following and loving your trip report!
You seem to run in to all the same people I do - love the #

 

[jwoodbury]

All caught up. I've been to Dollywood...lots of fun. Dolly's old tour bus still there? The Smoky's are beautiful! Sounds like a nice vacation!

 

[pkondz]

I have napped there before! But that wasn't the location this time.

Well, I doubt it's Test Track, but you never know. I've known people who nap in cars.

You got me on that one.

 

[Cloe Colton]

The Soarin FP line sounds rough. I can only imagine how annoying that was! What were the people who wanted to form two lines trying to accomplish? lol

That Mickey head cheesecake looks yum though!
