Big Disney Magic Moment. We were celebrating my DW and DTS B'Day's. A cast member named DONALD, called us over in the store and said someone wanted to speak with each of them. Well he called this number and each time it was Goofey wishing each of them a Happy B'Day. Priceless!
Uncle Walt!! Something seems missing. Hmm let me think. Nevermind.
I wonder if they would let me camp out here?
New Star Wars Scene from TFA didn't disappoint! I thought it was really cool!!!
Let's check out the changes to the GMR. Um not impressed.

Great pics so far, thanks for sharing!
Launch Bay looks pretty cool. I like that they included the Kylo Ren shuttle next to the FlameTrooper too.
Osborne: Even though I probably took a picture of that nearly exact spot (Mickey and Minnie Picnic table), I don't think I realized the Mickeys in the Bear face and paws until looking at your pic.
-Dave
Awesome pics Chris. I like the Tie Fighter Pop Corn Bucket. Pretty cool.
Thanks Dave! Yeah the Kylo Ren Shuttle was an extra bonus of cool!
Thanks Shawn! I will say the Tie Fighter wings don't stay on very well. But with a little Gorilla Glue when we got home and they are snug and tight. And this goes great with my Darth Vader Helmet Popcorn Bucket from last year!

Well that's all folks. Hope you enjoyed the pics. Will be back with final thoughts soon.
Final Thoughts...
I don't have time to place full on reviews of restaurants or resorts, so just a quick thought on each.
CBR...Really liked it. Great Theming, rooms now big enough for family of 5. Pull down bed a big plus!!! Didn't feel like we were trampling over one another. Pool was very good, love being able to swim in December. Now our 2nd favorite Moderate. B+
50's Prime Time Cafe...One of our favorites and never disappoints, on either food service or interactions with our server. Solid A+. Try it if you haven't missing out.
Paradiso 37... Solid, good food and service. Love the wall of tequila! Decent enough Latin flare but can't wait for the Rick Bayless Restaurant to open up. B
Nine Dragons...First time eating here and loved it! Huge portions, great food and lovely decor. We will go back. A-
BOG for Breakfast...Decor and theming are perfect! A must see and try if you can get an ADR. Keep trying until the last minute, multiple times a day as that is when and how we got ours. Really feels like your dining in Beast's Castle. We liked the dark room best and ate there. Food for breakfast was ok nothing great, but it was more about the experience than anything. B- because of the food.
Ragland Road. We had a horrible experience detailed in the Where are your ADR's thread and won't rehash here. F on the list with Boma now. Not going back.
That's it. It was a magical trip!!!
