I had a feeling they were going to include the lift-hill as the ride-time.

We started here, and the ball you pull on Story Story fell off so now I own part of the ride!!

(Not from the 31st, but from later on in the trip. Come to think of it..I would probably get over 300K if I would just ride alone since I can unlock Rex, Army-Men, and Buzz alone (and I know the secrets for thee other).
Anyway to the photos of Construction

HERE's THE BACKLOT TOUR!!!!
View attachment 184546
We grabbed a chair while a Cast a member wasn't looking and we were able to snap this photo!!!
Man! we actually did an outstanding amount of things for the busiest day of 2016!!!!
And to cap it off by YOLOing it and taking the boat from HWS to Epcot and then the Monorail to TTC and from there the resort Monorail to the Polynesian where we walked to our hotel... The Shades of Green.

And of course we stayed up and watched the Fireworks (which we saw the night before) for New Years on the Shades of Green's 5th floor of the parking garage.
And the reason why I post this is because I am suffering from a suffer case of PDD, or Post-Disney-Depression.
Done!

Went out to see La La Land last night, and so obviously to express my love for this film with a review
*Spoiler Free* Kinda
As the film starts off you're treated to a toe tapping, traffic stopping musical number 'Another Day of Sun' which highlights an issue apparently with the people of Hollywood. They never went to any school, because apparently it's a great idea to get in the middle of the road and dance along with walk. Nonetheless the scene is jubilant, and by the first three minutes I was smiling, and saw the oh so first romantic moment shared by Mia (Emma Stone) and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling). The film diverges here, but don't worry eventually the two main character's storyline converge once more thanks to the power of Jazz. Throughout the end of the second act we see an excellent usage of iconography are quite literally pulled apart, but like all romance stories there's a happy ending for all that is sure to leave some crying, or at least half of the group I saw it with. (I was not one of them, but came close)

I literally just saw this a couple hours ago and it was enthralling. There were actual tears in my eyes during The Fools Who Dream but I know that's not going to be the Oscar song. And the ending was bittersweet but made sense and Mia and Sebastian had a perfect love story. I'm putting money on a Broadway adaptation within the next 5 years and an Old Hollywood musical revival trend.

Hey kid! Stop texting - we're in Disney!
I'm just joking
I haven't read through the whole trip report yet but after the projects tonight I will look through it -- glancing though it looks like a great trip!
That's my friend -- Pascal, and he was attempting to get the right settings for his phone's camera to take a photo

Lol I figured it was something like that -- that's basically the only thing I use my phone for in Disney. Other than that I try to keep technology away and just enjoy it because it goes by quick!That's my friend -- Pascal, and he was attempting to get the right settings for his phone's camera to take a photo

The Fools Who Dream I'm torn on it. It's beautiful, but the start and end are kinda meh. That said according to Itunes I've listened to it to the most out of the whole soundtrack. So subconsciously my mind agrees with that statement. It took me a moment to figure it out what that scene meant, but it was very touching when I put two and two together.
There are already talks for Broadway :

I love that idea, and it reminds me of the early 2000's to when Moulin Rouge! brought back the musicals. However I think the honor goes to Into the Woods/Glee. Both showed that musicals can be successful, and well loved. Into the Woods by making four times its production budget, and Glee by showing that people are still accept breaking out into musical numbers for like over six years it was on.
EDIT: Found an article about the musical trend : https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/15/movies/live-action-musicals-la-la-land.html
Same!!! It drives me crazy when people walk and use their phone, or eat and ignore the people next to them. I pretty much only used my phone at Disney to take photos, use WDWMAGIC, and upload a few Disney Photos to Instagram from the hotel. Oh and of course My Disney Experience

You would love going with me! My mom never uses her phone at all... except to edit a selfie, post it to Facebook claim she never uses Facebook, text and call people in lines for rides. One time she was on her phone talking to my aunt for the entire time we were in line to meet Ariel, and when we went to meet her too. (BTW the call was nothing important nor serious). It's sooooo much fun, and if your wondering I don't use my phone in the parks. I have my camera, and we have need for a phone as that is my mom's reason for taking her phone.Same!!!

Did some looking, and prior to the Disneyland flags, he had this profile pic in mid2014? First row, second column.
Aiming for August 14 - 17 (3 Nights, 3 Days - DAK, MK, Epcot) with my dad his first time in more than four years, and sometime in early November for Christmas Party with my mom. Will likely be 2 Nights and 2 Days (MK, DAK, DS)When is your next trip?

I'm jealous. My last trip was July, but that was just my Dad and I, so I'm trying to pull some strings to get us to go January of 2018 with my entire family.
