Well, just got back yesterday peoples! YAY. So much fun. Guess I will just say what we did those three days.
Thursday 5/31: Drove down 6 hours to DLR and got there around 12:30. We checked in and hitched a ride on the trolly to DCA. We did the usual, TT, Screamin, Maliboomer, Etc. Then we went to the house of blues for some dinner which was tasty as always. From there we spent about 3 hours in DLR until close and rode Indy, pirates, space, and the big rides. Pretty much the usual day :mickey:
Friday 6/1: Woke up and got to the park at opening. Actually made it to the rope drop for once, but didn't watch because I had to get my watch I bought there fixed. So we rode some rides, and goofed around until about 11 when we (I have been using we, but didn't tell you it was my brother and I) headed over to Pirates Lair. Checked out all the treasure that was now on the island and the Pearl (I think) that has been washed ashore. At about 11:20 we met chescat and watched the new pirate show which was pretty entertaining, yet slightly cheesy. But, it's a pirates life for me. Now the three of us went over to VMK central and turned in 3 passes worth (which I tried to take Chescat's set, but she caught me ;) ) and we met Gypsyoffire who is now looking to join intercot. After we talked about what we predict in the future, the three of us went over and rode the matterhorn and listend to the seaguls for the Nemo ride. That brought to an end our day with chescat and my brother and I headed off to ride some more rides. At about 5:45 my brother wanted to go to get his sweater, so we left. Monkeyboyjoe called at about 6 (which I was expecting to be about 6:30) and so we missed him. Joe, gave you a couple calls at 7 and 7:15, but got your answering machine :(. I was excited to see Joe because I planned on giving him a Quest sheet to give to Little to autograph, lol. The rest of the night is entertaining though. We watched an awesome Alternative/Ska band called Suburban Legends in tomorrowland Terrace. In between their sets we rode splash and met a couple girls that we hung out with until 4 in the morning. That made saturday fun.
Saturday 6/2: As said, we were up til 4, and I woke up at 8 to go to the park, leaving my brother sleeping in the room. I headed over to tomorrowland to hang out at VMK central and got a couple extra card sets before VMK leaves DLR forever. My brother met up with me and we messed around DLR and rode rides until about 2:30 when we walked towards tomorrowland from advnetureland. Then I realized I was missing it. The Disney Galery had invited 10 former imagineers and current artists into the studio for a showing. Being an Engineering student and wanting to be an imagineer eventually, this was huge for me. So, I get in and I found I missed the Imagineer I wanted to meet most, Jim Crouch. But I talked to a Gallery employee and he introduced me to Maggie Parr. I didn't realize that she was there, she is my favorite artist. She does the old renaissance style portraits of Disney characters. So I talked to her about how to be an imagineer and some other things. It made my whole trip worthwhile and I was so excited the rest of the day. My brother and I left and went to Space, and the we headed back towards the Bayou. Guess what, no room for 2 people the whole night. How do you book an entired restaurant? That made me upset, but I decided to walk to DCA and eat in wine country. (wanted to meet the hostess after she got off work, but my brother didn't, which I still want to meet up with her, haha). Then we decided we stuff ourselves with food and see how we react on the Tower... We rode 3 times, lol. The second ride we decided that on the third we would take a funny picture. So we grabbed park maps and we were reading them for the picture. This is probably the worst idea because I then thought it would be funny to do it in splash. Lets just say I don't have any map left and that I was in front where it felt like someone threw a bucket of water on me. I've never got that wet on that ride so it surprised me. What's worse is that it was now dark and windy. So we headed over to Tomorrowland Terrace again and watched all the sets that Suburban legends played again. Can't wait until they come up here. Tonight I was asleep once we got back to the hotel, not doing that again. lol
Sunday 6/3: The day of leaving. I got up early and got to the park by myself because I have an AP and my brothers ticket was up already. So I rode Peter Pan and got a cinnamon roll then hung out a VMK central where Gypsyoffire showed up again. Once my brother got to Downtown Disney, I went to Little Green Men Pin shop and got the new pins for the weekend and met him to eat and the Rainforest Cafe which was nice as always. Our last half hour there we went to the World of Disney shop and I got two birthday presents for my mom and a friend. Yay for being done early. Thankfully my brother decided he wanted to drive home. I suffered through my usual post-pardon I go through when I leave DLR. It's probably a calling, but I am slightly used to it. Oh well.
Anyways, that's the trip. I have a question for you all. I have a Red space suit magic I want to give away in a contest here, restricted to only those who post regularly and I know aren't here to just get the magic. So if you need it either to get your first or to get your fifth star, let me know. Just answer in the poll! :mickey:
Also, any other questions or comments about the trip, just post and ask :mickey:
