We hit up the Indiana Jones show before lunch. We hadn't been for a while and were pleasantly reminded how fun it can be Smile can't say the same for the Great Movie Ride....

Back at the room for a post-lunch mid-day break. We'll be back. We'll head back in a bit for more fun and Fantasmic. And see if we can find Mandy! ThanksMandy Smile

We also managed to snag a Disney Rewards Visa pin. They were out at DTD last night but we found them at the Sunset place at HS this morning.

the pin was $12.95, but it's only available to cardholders. Free would be awesome!!

We switched 6@ from Star Tours to Lights Motor Action, which starts shortly. The FP had us in and seated before they even opened the gate to let the stand-by folks in.

Cinderella's stagecoach made a great backdrop for these pics! Haha. I asked Joe if he wanted to try and cram that glass slipper on my foot...you can guess at his answer....

Stopped by Trolley Car Cafe and got to meet Mandy! Note that if you ask for Mandy, they look at you like you have 6 heads...but they know Amanda! Smile ToT coming up.

A few fun finds at the Writer's Stop. That coaster set might find its way home with us. The others are refrigerator magnets. Ha!

Yay! I'm having a great time sharing your trip with you. More! More! clapping

Can we talk for a second about those ugly Mickey Macaroons though? It's just not right to turn such a delicate, elegant little cookie into a giant purple mickey glob. I saw them in February and thought maybe I was just looking at a bad batch, I guess I was wrong.

I don't think they do. We had a FP for later but the wait was short so we did standby and changed our FP.

The posted wit time for 7D was 70 minutes but that line looks worse than that! With our FP we were on in 5 minutes. Holy smokes! Cool ride. We also did Ariel's Grotto, and are heading ove to Buzz now!
