Re: NEVER Driving Again Trip Report

Our 2nd day we went to DHS and ironically we took only video there.
DD loved all the things there for her, except the line for TSMania. Those times you start to hate fast pass. We were taking it slow and not rushing around like my MO is, so by the time we got there the fast pass was already out for the entire day! It was like 11am!
Honestly it was a cute ride but I would never do it again if I had to wait that long. While we were in the line & ride DH waited outside and had a toy soldier that was signing autographs come over and lay on his lap like he was going to take a nap. Now who wouldn't want a picture of that! To top it off he was wearing a green coat that probably matched him. I wish we were there with our camera but if we were he wouldn't have been sitting around for so long.
While we did the RRC, Mom took DD to Beauty and the Beast and got front row seat and DD was amazed. She loved it and still talks about it.
Everyone loved the Stunt Show except DD who said it was too loud. DS now thinks he needs to be a stunt driver, I told him I want to be one too when I grow up!
DD was napping while DD, DH and parents went on Star Tours. I have to say the set up of the store needs a bit of work. All lines for the registers were in the way of people leaving the ride. I saw an electronic battle ship which DS & DH have wanted for so long and because it was a Star Wars version made it even better! I was so stressed out in this line hoping I would make it to the register and have her bag it before they got off the ride! Well, timing wasn't better. As soon as she put it in a bag I saw them round the corner and I was signed and walking away with them without anyone knowing I bought a thing. That Disnye for the Resort deliveries!
DH took both kids back with him while we waited for Fantasmic. I'm so glad we saw it finally and loved it, I just hope next time it wont be so cold! It was in the 30's & 40's every night we were there but home it snowed, hailed and rained all in one day while away. Still get a kick out of missing that day!
