Meeting Chip at Beauty and the Beast

Since I missed catching up with Chip a week ago Friday, I met Adele again this past Friday to give it another go. I wanted to leave St. Pete earlier this time so as to avoid the morning rush hour traffic through Tampa. I hit it well and had smooth sailing all the way. I arrived at Downtown Disney early, so had time to walk the length and relax over a cup of java before Adele arrived to meet me.

It was a beautiful morning . . .

We planned on me attending the 12:45 PM performance, in the VIP seating! So I had time to pick up a FastPass for the Tower of Terror, and then headed over to the Rock 'n' Rolling Coaster to ride as a single rider. It took about 20 minutes before I got on.

When I got out it was time to head next door to the Tower. I ended up walking right on! And, I got bold, figuring, wouldn't it be fun to record the ride! I thought of it part way thru, and most of the video is in the dark, but there was a lot of screaming! And on exiting the ride, I saw the photo posted of our car . . . me sitting there with my camera in front of my face. Silly me!

Then it was almost time to head over to the show.

What a blast it was when Chip walked out onto the stage! Naturally, I couldn't stop snapping pictures and even did a little video!

I enjoyed the show from my seat in the second row center. I took a short break and had a snack . . . one of my favorite - coconut!

After my snack, I headed back into the theater to watch part of the show from up in back.

I caught the battle scene where poor Chip was attacked!

I met up with Adele during one of her longer breaks and we had a light lunch.

I took a boat from the Hollywood Studios over to EPCOT. There were a couple of stops along the way.

Once I got over to EPCOT I took a quick tour around the world . . . visiting a few countries around the lagoon. I spotted Chip and Mrs. Potts in France.
