Two Birthdays, a new job, and two steps forward at long last! Pt 4

[Mickey'sGirl]

DH (Brian, aka CanadianWDWFan) – Celebrating his new job
Me (Jennifer, aka Mickey’sGIrl) – Celebrating my 41st birthday
DS12 (Harry) – Celebrating his 12th birthday
DS6 (Euan) – Celebrating life, cuz it’s pretty good when you’re 6 and at Disneyworld!

Day 4 – Monday May 24

We returned to the Studios today to do what we couldn’t get done yesterday, which was essentially everything. Brian went and got Fastpasses for Toy Story Mania right away, and the boys and I took our time catching up with him there. Then we split up so Euan and I could go to the Playhouse Disney show, and Harry and Brian could go ride the Tower of Terror, which Euan will no longer ride. We met up at the hat, and went over to see the Muppets, and then we got to ride Toy Story Mania. Brian and I realized how much better we are at it since we got the Wii version for at home. After that, it was time for our lunch ressie at the 50’s Prime Time Diner. Every couple of years we try this one, because we think we have been too harsh in our evaluation of the food, and every couple of years after eating there we say, “Why did we eat there?” The server did bring Harry and I cupcakes for our birthdays, which made Euan happy. After lunch we went on the Great Movie Ride without any kind of wait .... the boys just love the Alien scene. We were digging our day, and went over to the Animation courtyard to join a tour. Again, the kids really enjoyed seeing the Disney artist and Mushu ... and at the end of the tour, we joined a drawing class. That day we were learning to draw Tigger ... and the kids REALLY loved this, and did a very good job of it. On our way out, they stopped at the shop and they each purchased a sketch pad, and a “Learn to Draw...” book.

We left the park to go back and swim, and opted for pizza and movies. We borrowed Monsters Inc and Tron from the DVC Community Hall, and settled in for the evening. The boys drew in their sketch pads all night. What a terrific day!

Good pace, great attractions & a wonderfully relaxing afternoon and evening.

We've got an ADR for the first time this year, and DH is entirely not convinced this place is for us. I guess we'll see what happens on our ADR day as to whether we keep this one or not!

What another fun - yet not too crazy - day. I bet you've all improved at TSM with the addition of the Wii game at your house! LOL

Thanks for yet another great report, Jenn!

Another great day!! I have been debating whether or not to make ADR's for 50's Prime Time for our Dec trip based on the reviews I have read.
Thanks for sharing.

ANother great day! I too feel the same about 50's...it's just one of those restaurants that I did once and I can do without ever again.

Sounds like you had a productive morning and a great relaxing evening!

[offwego]

pizza and a movie sounds like a great way to unwind after the day.

I really like Toy Story Mania, good to know the game might make me better at it.
