Nice that you guys got to spend some time in DHS before your Via Napoli dinner
I seriously LOVE going to that park! It is so much fun, especially at Christmas time
. I totally understand your love of TSM! That ride is so much fun! My first time going on it was in August of 2009 and I thought it was sooo much fun! Unfortunately we only had one DHS day that trip and when we got to the ride the fastpass line was really long right at rope drop and our fastpass time was really late for that ride and the standby time the whole day was really long so I only got to ride it once that trip
. I feel like this ride is so much better than Buzz Lightyear because it is so much easier to aim the toy gun/shooter thing correctly. On buzz I always end up losing my laser at some point
.
So do I! I'm glad you appreciate Toy Story Mania as much as I do! And yeah, the whole 4-D experience just makes it better than Buzz. But I love both rides!
Glad you got to see the osbourne lights! Those things are simply incredible!!!! Anytime my family goes during the holiday season we ALWAYS check out the Osbourne Lights!
Yeah if I was there when it was running, I wouldn't miss it!
Funny that you and your mom had such a disagreement about which direction to go to via napoli in. That sounds like a discussion my mom and I would have. I probably would have gone in the mexico direction like you wanted to and then left in the other direction.
Yeah now that I realize that America is the center pavilion, that decision would have been made so much easier. I have to go and check to see who's right next time I'm there.
Nice that it wasn't very crowded that night at via napoli. My last experience there it was really crowded and i went during an off time so I thought it was pretty much always crowded.
I'm sorry that happened to you!
Sad you were disappointed with your waiter's looks, at least he was still a good and nice server though. I also found your bit about photo creeping on the waiters hillarious! That is defintely what I would do, in fact I did it last time I was there. I think i took about 4 pics of just our waiter, let alone all the other waiters. Luckily there were alot of birthdays while i was there so I had an excuse for taking all the pictures each time someone was getting happy birthday sung to them (btw they sing it in italian there which i thought was awesome since i took a year of italian in high school).
Yeah he did the job! Hahaha I'm glad you found it funny. And that you're just as bad as me. 
I should really go there if I ever celebrate my birthday... hmmm.... 
All of your food looks delicious! I seriously want some of that via napoli pizza right now, it was AMAZING!!!! I loved how light it was
.
So do I! And I know.. I could eat so much of it!
Love how you and your brother ducked out of dinner to ride test track, i love when the timing works out after a meal to go ride some attractions before the park closes. Test track was a great choice as well! btw i'm guessing you have heard about how they are revamping test track since you were just there while they have been working on it. I am seriously so sad they are changing it! What was wrong with it the way it was? I know it broke down kind of a lot but I don't think that is something that the revamp will solve since they are using the same general system for actually controlling the ride last i heard. Anyway, rant is totally over now, I was just curious about how you felt about the refurbishment and revamp.
Yeah me too! And yes, I know all about the revamp. It's sad to see the attraction go but I think the changes are going to be good. They sound really cool! They can't keep it the same because they're changing sponsors, and the sponsors really have the say in the attractions. So I guess we'll see how it goes... but I have a feeling it's going to be great!
Nice that you guys got to the ride on time. There is seriously no better feeling in disney than when you race to a ride or reservation in order to make it in time. nice that the line was non existent as well! I love the pose your brother has on the ride, looks like you have passed your knowledge about posing for the ride cameras onto your family.
I know, it's such a relief! LOL oh thanks. Yeah I always plan my ride photos!
Your pictures around the resort are awesome! I especially loved your whole thing about the frumpy dragon slide (every time i see that slide i call it that in my mind now thanks to your TR's). I also loved hearing someone else reference that spongebob episode about doing things in disney AAAATTTT NNNNIIIIIGGGGHHHTTT!!!!! My mom and I pretty much quote that episode ALL the time while in disney! Our favorite time to quote it is when we are talking about BTMR! We always talk about riding it at night in that spongebob voice. It is pretty much impossible for me to talk about doing stuff at night (particularly during EMH) without referencing spongebob!
Thank you! LOL I'm so glad I have passed that name onto you guys! I just have called it that ever since I first saw a picture of it! Hahaha I'm glad you like the reference. It just popped into my head when I was writing the TR.
But, I had to laugh because I remember thinking the dragon slide was SO high up and now looking at your pictures it seems so much smaller 
I'm glad you enjoy them that much! 
And yeah I know, right?!
