Jim Gets Owned at 50s Prime Time
I’m not sure what time we left the room after the race but I do know that we were walking into HS right around 10:30 am. I picked up a times guide and a quick glance told me that we were just in time for the “A Galaxy Far Far Away” show. Jim loves all things Star Wars and I’m a pretty big fan myself so I knew that he would love this. We headed straight up to the stage in front of the Chinese Theater.
During this show they basically just bring out one Star Wars character after another. They do a few poses and then head off. I thought it was a cute show but Jim was in heaven! I did take some pictures but they aren’t the best since there are so many heads in them.
Boba Fett is Jim’s favorite and I swear he was screaming like a little fan girl when he came on stage.
As soon as the show was over, we headed towards 50s Prime Time for our lunch ADR. We checked in and were seated almost immediately. We were one of the first ones in the restaurant for the day. Jim loves this place and was happy to be there.
When our waitress came to take our order she immediately noticed my 5K medal and congratulated me on the race. She turned to Jim and asked where his medal was and he said he didn’t run the race. She then asked him if he had at least cheered me on and he made the mistake of answering “no”. Oh man, she went off on him then, berating him for a good five minutes for being a bad husband. Jim kept sinking lower and lower in his chair and I was on the other side of the table laughing. Luckily he’s a good sport and knows what to expect from this restaurant. He always hopes I’ll get in trouble but it’s always him. Guess he just looks shifty or something.
We both knew what we wanted to order and our food came out super-fast. Guess that’s the advantage of having the first ADR time of the day. Jim got the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans.
And I got the pot roast.
As usual, we both loved our dishes, I’ve never had a bad meal at 50s Prime Time. For dessert, I know most people like the milkshakes but my favorite is the Chocolate Peanut Butter cake so I ordered that. Jim said he would have a few bites of my cake which I was fine with because this thing is huge.
In less than 5 minutes the plate looked like this.
Yep, we demolished that thing! I’m always starving after a race so the pot roast and huge piece of cake were necessary. We got our food so quickly and ate it so fast, we were in and out of the restaurant in about 45 minutes. Jackie and her husband Rob were hanging out at the bar so we stopped for a minute to say hi. I’m pretty sure they had an ADR at 50s a little bit after ours.
I checked the time schedule again and realized that The March of the First Order would be starting soon so we said our goodbyes and headed out. I had watched the March the previous year and knew the perfect place to stand.
My perfect spot turned out to be not as great as I thought it would be. When I saw it the previous year, they didn’t let anyone stand in the street so I planted us at the edge of the curb. Well, this time they let people stand in the street so we ended up with quite a few people right in front of us.
We followed the March down the street and watched the rest of the show on the stage. After it was over, we headed towards the Animation Courtyard because I had a very special meet and greet to get to. We did run into another storm trooper on the way there.
I’m sure you all know who the special character was that I wanted to meet. Pluto of course! Since I had missed him that morning I needed to get a picture with him that afternoon.
He was very impressed with my medal.
He had me reenact the race with him.
And then I allowed Jim to join us for a photo.
Next up was more meet and greets of course since they are Jim’s favorite thing to do. There were two characters in Launch Bay that we had not met yet so we headed there. We did look at some of the displays first.
First up was BB-8. The CM said the wait would be about 25 minutes but it ended up being less than 10. This was an interesting meet and greet. BB-8 did a lot of beeping and booping and the CM there interpreted for him. He once again congratulated me on my medal and berated Jim for not having one.
There’s no good pose to do with a droid, we just kind of stood there awkwardly.
Next up was Kylo Ren. I’m pretty sure we did the Visa Meet and greet rather than the regular one because it had no line. I’m not sure what all he said to us but he was a bit scary. Jim of course pledged his undying loyalty to the First Order.
We thought about meeting Chewbacca but his line was pretty long and we had met him on a previous trip. Instead we headed towards the exit, checking out more displays along the way.
Jim spent a lot of time looking around the dump shop but didn’t find anything to buy.
