Sorry for the lull in trip reporting. I was the latest person in the office last week who got sick. We seem to just be passing around germs in this place, so I was down for the count for several days. And then my brother-in-law's mom passed away. She had been sick for a long time, but it was still very sad. In the last 14 months, our family has lost my mom, Tony's mom and now Jason's mom. This horrible dark cloud needs to move on. But the trip report presses on!!!
When we last left off, the original gangster and I had a meet and greet with Buzz and Woody. Once we got out of that area, I realized that Hollywood Studios was not really crowded that day. Our next FP+ was for the Muppets, but as we made our way over there (we were super early since TSM was down) we were able to just walk right into the show. So we did. There was still about five minutes left of the pre-show and then we went into the main theater for the show. I have seen it numerous times before but the silly 3D effects and corny jokes are right up my alley.
After Muppets, we had a super long gap until our next FP+, but still had the bonus FP since TSM was down. I whipped out my phone to see what might be available. Now keep in mind that neither Tony or I are Star Wars fans (I know - almost unheard of, but true), so none of those rides/attractions interested us. But I do enjoy some shows with singing involved. Click, click, click and we're going to Frozen! But on our way, I saw a line forming. It was either for food or a character meet. Lucky for me it was a character!
Yes, in case you were wondering. It was still cold. Goofy was charming and after meeting him, we moved onto Frozen Sing-A-Long. We stayed in our ECV's and were ushered to seats front and center. We could not have asked for a better spot. Now I would like to apologize to anyone who was there and heard me sing. Yes, I knew all the words to all the songs. And yes, I sang loud and proud. And really badly!!!
I really enjoyed the show and the "snow" at the end. After it was over, it was getting close for Tony to do his next FP attraction. If you remember from earlier posts I #1 - am afraid of heights and #2 - do not like rides that have the opportunity to make me hurl. So I sent Tony on his way to ride Tower of Terror. I just hung out by the exit doing some people watching and trying to find the next FP+ I wanted. Tony came out and passed on the option to use my magic band and ride Tower of Terror again. He said that he liked the ride, but not enough to go two times in a row. That's fine, because we were very close to our next - and last - attraction for the day. Beauty and the Beast!! Before we headed that way, I used a couple of snack credits and got us two hot chocolates. They really hit the spot. The sun was going down, and well, you know the rest. Here are some pictures from Beauty and the Beast.
Being right down front really did give us the best view of the show. Again, my apologies to anyone who heard me sing. After Beauty and the Beast, we started to head out of the park. We had a dinner reservation that was going to have us experience a couple of new things - the friendship boat and a new resort. Where were we headed?? Stay tuned . . .
