That is an awesome experience at ToT! How fun all around.
We *definitely* got outer money’s worth! I think it’s sad you have to pay to have these fun experiences but conversely I’m glad they’re available st all. It really started our trip off on a super high note!What an amazing day with your fun dining experience and then HS DAH. LOVE how rode ToT back to back so many times like that. And barely waited for Slinky! And Toy Story! Definitely got your money's worth! Your Mom is a hoot. How cool she loves the crazy rides just like you.
Definitely get the pins!! Don’t expect a ton, cause it really varies, but sometimes you can get amazingly lucky with the pixie dust . I hope they have a great time!!That's one hell of a first day, wow!
It's my partners family first visit to WDW in August, I'm going to surprise her with the pin at check in and see what else I can squeeze in.
Looking forward to hearing about the rest of your trip
So much fun!! I was worried Mom might get motion sick or something but I must get my iron stomach from her—she just kept wanting to go again and againThat is an awesome experience at ToT! How fun all around.
ToT CMs are the best, I completely agree! They’re so funny in character. Lots of the ones tonight weren’t but like I said, there were still a few doing the whole shtickI love all your ToT pictures, what an awesome night. I always think the ToT CM’s are so good and in character!
It really was--we loved it! I had such a great time with Mom, but I think you're right--great CMs can really make a trip. I feel like they made a big difference this trip!Awesome start!! Great upgrade! To bad your didn't have time to enjoy it more, but still awesome for the time you did have it!
CM's can really make or break a trip and that over sounds amazing! You can really tell the ones that love their job . I'm so glad your mom was able to join you! Mother, daughter time is important. I can't wait to read more. Keep it coming!
That is pretty hilarious!You see that gentleman in the front of our the elevator? He told Mom that you catch more air if you keep your seatbelt loose. This blew Mom's mind--she loved the flying feeling--and she wanted to try it immediately. We headed back around (the normal way this time) and while putting our seatbelts on, Mom forgot to hold the seatbelt loose so it wouldn't automatically tighten. So she asks the CM if he can please reset the seatbelts 'cause she wants to keep her's loose. He looks at her like she's crazy and is basically like "um no, can't do that, cause you know, safety" Mom's response: "But then I can't fly!" The CM: "Coooo--rrect!" and he immediately shuts the elevator door and starts the ride. Mom and I were both *dying* laughing the entire ride--the CM's delivery was just deadpan perfect. "Coooo-rrect!" *slam* Mom still didn't have a loose seatbelt, but worth it. And yes, we totally quoted "Coooooo--rrect" to each other the entire trip.
Yay Hercules fan!!Loving the phone case, I agree that we need more Hercules stuff. I might have to try to find that one too.
Wow, really? That sounds awesome! Might have to talk Mom into a trip to the West Coast....That is pretty hilarious!
If she liked ToT at DHS, you have to bring her on the Guardians version at California Adventure! Even with a tight seatbelt it feels like you are flying a foot in the air (even with a full car)! Basically they upgraded the whole mechanism so the cars never stop fully moving!
It was super fun! Glad you're enjoying itThis is the best trip so far!! You and your mom look like you are having the time of your life!!!! Can’t wait to hear more!!!!
Ooh you're going to have so much fun! If you ever ride ToT just with you three, be sure to ask the CM at the end if you can ride again. It's so much quicker!Thanks for the review of DHS AH! I'm doing one with my Mom and sister on 3/16 and I think we're going to enjoy it! I'm looking forward to getting on TOT multiple times! It kills me that I usually only get one ride per trip now!

Oooh right, I forgot about that. Well still, keep it in mind--you never know!That's a great tip! I hope we get lucky like that! Although I'm keeping my hopes lower since I think the TOT elevator refurb may have started but hopefully we'll still get lucky!
Honestly though, I'll just be happy to not have to watch the preshows every time!
It was awesome! Hopefully you get some pixie dust of your own--you never know!Just now joining in. How cool to get upgraded to club level at WL. Maybe hubby and I will get that kind of Pixie dust in August
It really was! Seeing her excitement was great fun, if a bit stressful trying to make it all work out!Looks like a fun trip! Glad your mom was able to go with you. It's fun being with someone who is seeing Disney for the first time.
Me too! Having Mom come really made it lots of fun.This trip looks so fun - and I'm so happy your mom was able to join you!
I liked it, especially that cinnamon roll. Yum. But I don't know that it was worth the money (though that was probably partially cause we had some of the food from the lounge before we went and so weren't as hungry as normally would be, and perhaps also because it was more expensive than normal since it was the Broadway concert series dining package), and while the characters were nice the interactions felt a bit rushed. Overall good, but not one of my favorites or anything. Might do it again in the future as just a regular breakfast if Trevor wanted to try it (but for regular price this time. )How did you like Garden Grill?
