Where ya goin' next? I suppose I might find out when I get to the next update......
We were heading over to DHS.
Unlike the last time we went,
there was no anniversary
celebration going on.
So it should be a lot quieter,
right?
I mean, it's not high season
or (worse) Christmas season.
It's May! Nice, sedate, May.
May the fourth, to be precise.
It's just gotta be dead there, right?
I believe later on you mention something about not being Star Wars fans......
We had some time before our
first FPs of the day.
The standby line for TSMM was
already up to 40 minutes.
We both figured that it wasn't
going to get any lower today, so...
We hopped in line.
Which was 45 minutes long.
Fairly accurate.
I hate that TSMM and SDD are both Tier 1 FP, and that ToT and RnRC were put back in there too. When I visited in March RnRC and ToT were Tier 2, when I was making FP+ for October all the good rides but Star Tours are in Tier 1 again.
I got "Best in Car" with my score,
but it didn't really matter.
What did matter was that
I beat Elle.
You got pu....er a CAT!
Did I mention it was
May the Fourth?
Would it surprise you to
know that at 10am the
wait time for TOT was
110 minutes and RNRC was
already up to 115 minutes?
Doesn't surprise me one bit!
Contrast our expressions
with the two young ladies
in front of us.
Oh how I hope they got
their PP photo!
I'm not even sure what they are doing on that ride give their expressions!
Consistently, Mama Melrose
was rated as the worst
restaurant in all of Disney.
But I'd lately noticed that more
and more positive reports
were popping up, including
glowing praise from @chunkymonkey .
That's interesting. I hadn't heard much about it, when we took a VIP tour package during Star Wars Weekends. Lunch was included in the package price and it was at Mama Melrose. We chose our entrees over breakfast so that they would be ready for us when we sat down. One of us had Minestrone soup as their starter. And she got a mushroom flat bread and I had some kind of spaghetti with meat sauce, I thought everything was really good!
We started with the
"Fresh Mozzarella and
Vine-ripened Tomatoes".
Not sure why they don't
just say "Caprese salad".
Here let me help you out with that.
Elle opted for the Salmon
with Pappardelle pasta
and asparagus.
She liked the fish, but wasn't
a fan of the pasta.
Huh. I love Pappardelle pasta!
The ribs were fall-off-the-bone
delicious and that risotto!
WOW!
It was fantastic.
I have dreams now of that
risotto.
Huh, that sounds pretty good too.
And then Elle said it.
"You know how it goes up and
down in that one part?
That's like a slinky going
down stairs."
Do you think she's right?
Did they
design it that way???
Interesting...I'll have to notice when I go back in October.
We got...
Voyage of the Little Mermaid.
This actually turned out to be
a good attraction to have a FP for.
While the show itself is pretty
forgettable, having a FP allowed
us to enter into the waiting area
ahead of the standby line.
The waiting area is air conditioned.
I can understand that, it must have been as hot as the sun when you were there.
Elle responded by saying.
"Too bad, so sad."
She didn't care.
She really didn't care.
Not exactly a Star Wars fan.
She was somehow spared
for uttering such blasphemy.
Oh, well I just say, that's more Star Wars for the rest of us.
The Frozen Sing Along was...
Hilarious! We both enjoyed
it a lot!
I'm not sure I've ever heard from someone who saw it. Most people say they sent their wives or daughters while they rode anything else. I may have some extra FP slots left due to my complaints above. Maybe I'll convince Fran to see it.
They spend 30-45 minutes
on each station.
So... for 30-45 minutes,
you're doing...
1 2 3 4 5 <SPIN!>
That's kind of how all the positions work. You may not notice this cause you dont tend to ride things 2-3 times in a row, but everytime you come back different people are working the various positions, like the ones who ask how many in your party, the ones who check to see if your seat belt is fastened, etc.
We split an order of
grilled cheese and
tomato soup.
That looks like a perfect portion, and nicer that they split it in the kitchen for you. Even the pickle!
Hello my beauties.
Oh! And that's what
half orders look like,
if you've never seen
that before.
And that looks like the perfect amount of ice cream for me!
(Yes, you can order
a half-order!
Thanks @franandaj
for that tip!)
You're welcome! I actually learned that from Jill.
And...
Did you see it in this chapter?
Yes I did. Quite talented. Made the corps.
Dang it. I KNEW I should have booked this instead of Prime Time!
Oh no, you did good! Prime Time
rocks! It's going to be my first restaurant meals on property when I go back!
