Our intention was to ride RRC first thing, but it was down. So we got a fastpass for it anyway, hoping that it would be up soon. We made our way over to TOT and Mr.PB enjoyed it very much. The beginning is quite different from DCA's, so it was a refreshing experience. We then rode The Great Movie Ride. We then checked out the Pixar area, but TSM was already over an hour wait, so we opted to skip it. Also, the backlot tour wasn't opened yet, either. We watched a little bit of the Power Rangers picture / signing ...those folks who play the Power Rangers really know how to get the kids involved in the picures. They make all of the poses from the show, and the kids eat it up. We had noon ressies at Tony's in MK, so we made our way over to the MK via bus. The food was good...we all chose the Chicken Parm. I had the mocha capacino cheesecake and the PB's had the chocolate ice cream bomb. Our only complaint here was that the spaghetti sauce had way too much basil in it, but other than that all was delicious. We visited the Laugh Factory to let our food settle, and it was pretty funny. We submitted a joke via text and they used it during the show. We got FP's for SM and rode lots of other rides while waiting for our time to come up. One of the highlights (as always) was HM. I love this one so much better than DL's (but don't tell anyone). What was a little weird was that they started our "elevator" ride before they closed the door, so the illusion was ruined for alot of folks, including us. I thought PB was going to cry. It was just like telling a little kid that there's no Santa. We did a little shopping and the kids did Splash. They liked it and only got a little wet. Our ressies for Liberty Tree Tavern were up so off to the restaurant we went. We were seated really quickly, and the characters made their rounds very frequently. Goofy even sat at our table for a while goofing around. I really love this restaurant and am sad that I heard mention of it closing. I hope this isn't true, this restaurant has been a Haunts tradition every year we've gone. Spectromagic was about to start so we staked a spot to watch. MrPB liked this one alot. He got some great pictures. The parade is very Spectro-magic-y. LOL! Off to IASW....This ride was not crowded at all. We walked right on. Mr.PB proceeded to take pictures, but after a while a gentleman on our boat kept saying out loud, (but not directly to us) that there is a great big sign outside of the ride that no flash pictures are allowed. We turned to see who said that and to apologize, but the man would not look at us at all. I think he was scared that we heard him or something..it was a really weird experience. Mr.PB did stop taking flash pictures because he is not a rude guy. By the way, after the ride, we could not find a sign ANYWHERE that mentioned any photography at all. Off to Mickey's Philharmagic which was also great. We enjoyed it very much. Then we called it a night. We got back to the room to find a gift bag had arrived from Ursula. There was a canvas WDW totebag filled with fruit and assorted snacks which came in very handy throughout the week. Thanks sis!
