Tuesday-December 13th
Day 3 Update!
We are at
38 days people!!!
So after having drinks the night before at Rainforest and what I hope will be a great dinner at Raglan Road, we will get heading to
Hollywood Studios. I'm oldschool, so it will ALWAYS be MGM to me!
We'll be having a small snack breakfast at the resort, OR grabbing, for the first time, a delicious cupcake breakfast at
Starring Rolls. Any opinions?! I've seen some great ones here!
We'll ride:
The Great Movie Ride
The Little Mermaid
Toy Story Mania (or at least grab fastpasses, you know how it goes)
Then we have an 11:25am lunch at
Sci-Fi!!
Obviously Blake and I have eaten here before. I know I've mentioned why we're eating here, but let me refresh. Blake and I love the atmosphere here. 1) Last year, we tried 50's Prime Time for the first time and vowed that although it was good, Sci-Fi is definitely more US. 2) This is the only restaurant, besides Tokyo Hibachi that my mom and I ever had reservations when we went to Disney when I was younger, before the whole dining plan and needing ADR's, etc. So, I knew it'd be cool for her to remember something familiar 3) Stu has never been here before and he loves movies
So I thought it will be great! We'll be using 1 TS credit here. At first I was going back and forth and decided to instead pay OOP for another meal we're going to later in the week and treat this one as a TS meal.
Next, we'll probably be watching the Lights Motor Action, we've skipped it the last 2 years, we it'll be time to see it again. Mom has never seen it. Then, I'd like to do Animation Studio for the first time, Backlot Tour, Beauty and the Beast show (LOVE this one), probably grab fastpasses for Stu and Blake for Rock and Rollercoaster.
By that time, we have a 5:20 reservation at
Hollywood Brown Derby!!
O.M.G. We have to thank the lovely Lady Lallie for this one. Ms LL recommended her beloved Brown Derby to me on our last trip and we LOVED it! I'm hoping that they update their menu, since it's still seasonal right now with menus from July, because both Blake and I decided we want EXACTLY what I ordered last year.
This beauty..right here:
The filet with white truffle mashed potatoes, mushrooms and red wine reduction
And this for dessert:
MMMM triple chocolate and raspberry chambord deliciousness!!
The dessert is currently on allears, but the filet is slightly modified right now, so cross your fingers that it changes!!
By this point, it will be time to go to the ever impressive Osbourne Family Lights. This blows me away every single year. It is amazing. Fantastic. Outstanding. Breathtaking. And all those other descriptive words you can manage.
I'm still not sure about Fantasmic or not. We'll see. I've only seen it once. So we'll see how the plans go. Also, Blake and Stu will probably go use their fastpasses for RNRC.
With that, I shall leave you with some Osbourne Lights, as it should be the last thing on my mind before getting back on the bus to CBR and into my bed for the night.
Question: What your favorite ride at DHS?
I would say, although I LOVE Toy Story Mania, I would probably say the Great Movie Ride. I know it's old, I know it needs revamping, but I still love it. It has that Disney feel.
