We walked quickly to EE for FP's. There was a short line waiting to get on stand-by, so we grabbed the FP's and decided to ride stand-by first.

Unfortunately the ride was delayed opening and the first Nemo show was at 10:00 a.m. we waited in line until 9:20 and when they still weren't letting people in, we went and got in line for the show and decided to just wait for our FP time.

Finding Nemo the Musical was great! They have changed a few CM's, but they were still really good. My favorite Nemo was the one I saw the first time when they were doing soft openings, but this girl was also very good.

Here are the Nemo pics.

More Nemo pics.

Let me know if you're getting tired of the pics. Here are a couple more.

Now it was time for our FP. So off to meet the Yeti once more. We went right to the front of the line with no wait at all. This was pretty much how it was the whole time. Very short waits and attractions that were not full.

As we approached our little tea train I noticed that the steam was working. It had not been on our last visit.

The ride was as smooth and wonderful as ever.

As these were the only 2 things we really came here for we were going to head out, but the kids wanted to take a quick stop in Dinoland for a spin in PW. DH and I sit out on this one most of the time. I love all the coasters, but spinning is not my cup of tea.

After that we decided to have lunch in AK as my DH really enjoys the chicken parmigiana sandwich in Pizzafari.

After lunch we left the park. We saw Gov. Radcliffe and decided to take a pic with him as we had never met him before.

Then it was on to....

We arrived in no time. There were a couple of things that we missed the last time, so we had to ride RnRC and see Fantastmic.

We stopped in Guest Services again to inquire about Marie the Cat, alas she would not be making appearances today . I can not catch a break when it comes to this character.

Anyway, we went to RnRC to get a FP and saw, get this, a 5 min. wait time for ToT. I have never seen this before in my life. So we quick grabbed the FP's and then walked right in to the first room of ToT The preshow room).

When we got to the split in the line in the boiler room, everyone went left. We were the only ones to go right, and do you know what happened? We got our own elevator car. No one else but us. Well we took full advantage of that and made silly noises and acted crazy as there was no one else to worry about.

I was going to take a pic of the pic to show you, but I looked ridiculous. I would not let anyone see the face I was making.

Tower of Terror.

After this we wandered around a bit. While taking a bathroom break we saw this street performer. He was sleeping on the bench and then a policeman came to chase him off then bench and all sorts of madness ensued. It was quite comical.

We decided to head toward the back of the park. we wanted to see Indiana Jones and The Muppets. On our way I was reading the times guide for the Indy show and saw they had the Jedi training camp on the schedule. We had time so to Star Tours we went. This was so cute and fun. They chose several children to participate as padawan (sp?) learners, the kids had a really good time with their training light sabers.

Then it was bad new for the young jedi, they would be tempted to join the dark side. The bad guys showed up.

and the kids got a change to face their enemy.

One little boy was so scared, I thought he was going to run off the stage, but he did a great job. Darth Vader is VERY tall.

It was now time to see the Indiana Jones Stunt show. It was funny and awesome as always. I love the explosions and the extras.

[timkelmom]

Now we asked the kids what else they wanted to do. DD wanted to go under the sea with Ariel. So that is what we did.

[timkelmom]

After this we decided to get some food, so we went to the Backlot express and had some burgers and fries and such. We also had some really yummy frozen cokes. There were hardly any people back here now. The restaurants were getting ready to close.

We slowly made our way toward the front of the park and over toward the theater for Fantasmic. We had time to kill so we stopped in the candy store. We got sweets, which we did not need, to enjoy during the show. 2 really big brownies, some kind of fish shaped cookie, and some marshmallows on a stick covered with sprinkles and little m&m's (sugar on a stick).

We ordered a really big drink and made our way to the theater and found seats. We sat near the top and to the right so we could exit quickly. We did not want a repeat of the bus fiasco from last night.

This is where the night took a turn in the wrong direction. There were about 4 children sitting behind us, around 12-14 yrs. old, with no parents. They were loud and obnoxious and fooling around the whole time. Well, one of the boys began making large gestures with his hands and spilled soda on the back of DH's shirt. He did not apologize or even seem sorry, they just began to laugh. I forgot to mention that they did not speak English, so I have no way of knowing what they were saying.

DH turned around and said something along the lines of Thanks a lot. I thought he would want to leave, but he was great and said we would stay as we really wanted to see it and had missed it the last time due to rain.

About 15 mins. before show is to begin, the mother of these darling children arrived. She said nothing. Nothing to us in apology of her son's behavior, nothing to them about the way they were still acting even though she was there. I swear, I was angrier at her than the kids.

[timkelmom]

The show was magnificent. As soon as that show was over, we dragged the kids out of there and jogged. We were actually running along the grass along side the walkway. I thought I would never make it, but we kept on going.

We managed, I still have no idea how, to be the first ones at the bus stop and the first ones on the awaiting bus. We waited for the bus to fill and allowed a wheelchair to get on, be we had seats and were not left waiting in line.

The night got even worse from here. There was a group of college kids that got on the bus. You know mature young adults right? NOT! They were rude and loud and rowdy. There was one guy who kept standing in the stairwell in the back of the bus. The driver kept telling him not to stand there, and he managed to find himself there anyway.

Anyway, after what seemed like forever, we arrived back at ASMu. This night we let the kids go for a night swim. They had a large inflatable movie screen by the pool which was playing HSM2. DD was thrilled. So we stayed until the movie was over and then called it a night.

[timkelmom]

I forgot, when we returned to the room after DHS we found this guy.
