I definitely love HEA but it seems you made the right decision that day!I made the decision that I would stick around for the afternoon and call it an early evening.
I think you're right about dealing with an elaborate costume all night anyway! At least you picked a little theme for your group I give it a thumbs up!
I still haven't gotten a really good viewing of HEA though got to see/hear it from the Tomorrowland Speedway on my surprise 2 days there this summer. Wishes will probably always remain my favorite though. Also, you are hilarious...and I can imagine the seas of sweaty stinky people LOL
I'm with you, I love lunch at BOG! I always get the turkey sandwich and it never disappoints!
Nice job getting 4 extra FPs!
We saw HEA for the first time two weeks ago and my younger daughter, who is 12, cried afterward because she hated it. She said she felt they turned the castle into a big TV and it was too much to look at all at once. I didn't love it as much as Wishes but there were some parts that I liked. I do agree with her that there is so much going on that it's hard to know what to watch and easy to miss the fireworks while watching the projections or vice versa. It definitely has the "wow" factor but to me is missing the feeling of nostalgia that Wishes evoked.
I don't know if it was because I was solo but I was disappointed in the lunch at BoG last time (March 2018). I felt sort of rushed and it was just kind of crazy busy in there. I much prefer dinner there but haven't been of course since they changed it. I do like the turkey sandwich though!
I agree about BoG, I order the turkey sandwich or the pot roast and have always enjoyed my meals. We go almost every trip! We usually share the Master’s cupcake, I have tried all of the cupcakes and enjoyed all of them,
Awesome use of the FP system, I love when you can keep getting decent ones! I have been a galactic hero once when the ride stopped by the volcano haha!
Excellent use of the MDE app to keep those FastPasses going! I love the Buzz Lightyear ride photo border.... it looks new or updated to me.

What a crazy travel day but I'm glad the next day improved!
I saw a few things with Remy in the France pavilion. Getting ready for the Ratatouille ride maybe? Or probably Food & Wine.I scoped out a few items that I planned to buy on the way out that night. One thing that I spotted but didn’t buy was this Remy figurine in Arribas Brothers. I was just so surprised to see a figurine of him that I had to send a picture to Jim since it’s his favorite movie.
I saw Tiki Room for the first time in 10 years on my last trip. I really enjoyed it. I should have been going more often.It was still a little too early for my Pirates FP so I opted for more air conditioning in the form of the Tiki Room.
My family has eaten at The Plaza a few times and always enjoyed our meals. It's also a very reasonable price if paying OOP.The burger was yummy as always. I’ve eaten here many times now and only once did I have a slightly disappointing meal. I will say my waitress was a bit odd. I’m not sure exactly how to describe it but she was almost too attentive, kind of hovering to the point that it made me a bit uncomfortable. But she more than made up for that when she brought me out free ice cream for my birthday!
Tap, Grab and Modify, for the win!!I discovered this trip that I could make a FP for several hours into the future and then modify it so that I could use it immediately. I guess this is a trick that is known but I was not aware of it. I figured I would post that here in case anyone reading didn’t know about that trick.
You're the whole reason I ever gave The Plaza a try!! I really love the ambiance there. Yay for free birthday ice cream!
Still Not a Galactic Hero
We wants the REDHEAD!!!
Hey, you look bored. Now where have I heard that before? Hmmmm.
I'm going to have to look for that. That was one of my favorite rides and I was so sad when it went away.
Doesn't look my size or style, but if they have men's versions, might be a 2nd shirt in my future. Looks good!
I knew about lost wax casting. I'm a model railroader (well probably was is more accurate) and I've also got a collection of figures from when I used to play D&D a lot. Both use lost wax casting.
In the Emporium, I found this very large Pluto plush that I didn’t have.
I like the shirt you bought for yourself! And the one for your SiL, I've never seen that one and will have to keep my eye out for it!
Sounds like a lovely birthday dinner!

There was also a Remy straw for sale in the All-Star Music food court, that I didn't notice anywhere else. I thought it an odd choice for All-Star Music.

OOooh, love, love, love!!!! Put Mickey balloons on anything, and I am totally sold.

Love the new Mickey shirt! so cute! And that big ol' Pluto stuffie....how'd you get it home?
I'm not a big shopper but you sure are giving me lots of ideas! lol
I love your picks for the gifts you bought and the shirt for yourself, it looks good on you!
The Sangria looks wonderful at The Plaza! I would like to eat there again, yummy!
Great shirt picks and Yay! for free ice cream
I definitely wish I had gotten the sangria at The Plaza! looks delish!
OMG - so cute!
Following along on this report too!! My birthday is 8/9 as well!!
I've actually been reading up on where the high value targets are. Hopefully I will in a couple weeks.

Are you sure? To be honest, I've seen your pluto room photos...not sure how that one isn't in there already.
All caught up! Looks like a fun Birthday trip! I have a very unsophisticated palate, as well. The Plaza is one of my favorite places in all of WDW to eat
