Sounds like a fun morning!!
I've only ridden it twice and got the exact same future both times...oops! Next time I need to do the exact opposite!On the way back down I told Mom she should make the selections for the "Choose Your Future" game but she refused. So I made the selections and got a completely different future than I have had in the past. Anybody know if they have updated it with more endings or were my selections just totally different than in the past?

The children in the seats across from me were writing "HELP!" on the windows.
The yeller said "we want the a/c not the g.d. lights!".
Here is your morning animal photo from our balcony.
This had been a fairly last minute add-on to the trip and it was so worth it!
We were happy we didn't have to wait too long to see all the characters. I find sometimes at character meals it takes forever for all the characters to circulate and you end up waiting around even after you have finished your food. Not the case at Garden Grill, at least not that morning.
In fact, the characters started to make a second round around the restaurant!
Our server caught him in the act and came over and scolded him.
It was all hilarious and really gave us a good laugh.
Next up we had a fastpass for the Character Spot. Not that we had any particular desire to go there as we had just had a character breakfast but since we had the fastpass we figured we may as well use it.
I feel the ride and the whole Imagination pavilion is dated and could use a huge refresh.
Along the way we saw Honeydew and Beaker doing the Mobile Muppet Lab Show.
We had decided to skip Fantasmic in favour of something new for us which was the Movie Magic show and the Star Wars Fireworks.
I really really hope that once Galaxy's Edge opens that they get rid of that stage, it is an eyesore, and that they keep the Star Wars stuff to that area of the park. I doubt it though. I enjoy Star Wars and I am really looking forward to the new land but I dislike how Star Wars has taken over the whole park. For example, we loved the Animation building and we were really disappointed when it was closed to make way for Star Wars Launch Bay. So my hope, as hopeless as it may be, is that once Galaxy's Edge opens all the Star Wars stuff will be relocated there and that the rest of the park can feature other themed attractions. Am I alone in this?
it just got hotter and hotter. The lady sitting next to me was freaking out. She said it was so hot that she felt she was suffocating. It was so hot that you couldn't see out the windows as they were obscured by a thick layer of condensation from all the people crammed on the bus. The children in the seats across from me were writing "HELP!" on the windows. Finally somebody yelled at the bus driver to turn on the air conditioning. Well, the a/c didn't turn on, the lights did. Not sure if the bus driver turned the lights on because he was trying to find the a/c controls or if he was trying to see who was yelling at him. The yeller said "we want the a/c not the g.d. lights!". The lights then went off but still no a/c. I thought that there was going to be a riot. There might have been if anybody could actually move but we were so tightly packed that you could barely even shift an inch. The bus ride felt like it took forever and we were all miserable. I was seriously concerned for the lady next to me. Her kids kept saying "mom, are you alright?".
Sorry for the lack of update the past few days, once again I am in a crazy stretch of shifts. Hoping to get one out tomorrow before my night shift!
It was 8:55 and we were leaving Garden Grill. I looked towards the entrance of The Land and told mom that we needed to hustle as this is what I saw coming towards us.
Run!
Another weird music moment, we were listening to the theme from An American Tail in the queue.
The ride is cute enough but it is definitely only ever going to be on my "I have nothing else to do right now" list.
Yikes! Sounds like things were getting heated in more ways than one!
I did not realise that there was new night time shows in Hollywood studios now, is it on all the time or only certain times of year?
Yeah I'm with you on that one. I'm not a big star wars fan (I've never watched any of the movies) so I do not get why they're suddenly turning everything in to star wars this, that and the other

I'm in the same situation right now! Trying to pick up a lot to save up for my shifts, but man do I hate working so much! Currently working 3 nights, off one, then working 3 more.
I had to giggle at your stampeded metaphor with the Soarin' crowds. It really is intimidating to see all those people swarming towards the Land when you're at the opposite end of it!
I thought your Minnie Mouse shots from the Character Spot turned out really cute.
Yep, right now staffing is trying to get me to work overtime nights on Friday and Saturday. If I agree that would be 8 12 hour shifts in a row. I don't want to do it but I will feel guilty if I don't and they can't find anybody and have to force float a nurse from another unit. I am tempted to do it though as crazy as it may be as there is a cute Kate Spade dress I want to buy.
That will mean i worked 7 in a row, had three days off, work 8 in a row, three days off and then 4.
I am full-time so my rotation is supposed to be two days, two nights, five off. It never ends up that way though as I am a sucker and can't say no to overtime.
8 nights in a row?! Legally we're not even allowed to work more than 5 nights in a row. After 4 nights I am completely wiped. You must be a superhuman!!!
Though the money that comes along with working that much does sound super tempting! Treat yo self to that Kate Spade dress!
I always think it is a shame that the reviews for this restaurant are so bad (and I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food) as the setting here is lovely.
When we wandered back outside I could hear that Mariachi Cobre was starting up so we went over to watch and I sure am glad we did as we got to witness this adorable Disney moment that I caught on video.
It was only as we were leaving that we noticed that there was an indoor seating section with air conditioning, whoops.
I"m so far behind!!!
So, Garden Grill does look like a really nice place if you're a big breakfast eating person. I'm not, so can't see myself going but, I like that it's out of the way, and lesser known for a nice meal. I think I'd definitely recommend it to younger families and others who enjoy the character meets as I keep hearing great things about it.
I did not know about the stave church in Norway. It sounds interesting must check it out. The Frozen and Coco areas look great!
I did the Stave church during m y solo trip and I loved all the Norse Mythology, especially because we are into the Marvel versions but are really interested in all the history of it. I've also watched American Gods which is a great show - think it's on STARZ or something like that, also by Neil Gaiman so it's really bizarre but terribly interesting! I'm glad they took out the Frozen stuff from the stave church!
I agree completely with you on the Norway pavilion. Such a shame they took out the cultural aspects of the pavilion, but the Frozen material they added was really well done.
