From my previous meet up stalkingresearch, I knew runDisney pulled all the stops for the attendees. Past meet ups included behind the scenes (actually- behind the screen!) trips to Soarin’, a visit to the Dream Suite, and Joey Fatone. BTW, Joey and the Dream Suite might actually tie in my world when asked what would be more awesome to see in person. (Fangirl, remember? I do love me some Boy Bands!)
There was no question we were also being given the royal treatment. The announcement was made that we would be heading down Route 66 for a bathroom break and then… drum roll please… the Ultimate Fast Pass. I absolutely loved that Bob called it the Ultimate Fast Pass. Fast Pass is my absolute FAVORITE Disney brainchild, with the Magical Express at WDW a close second. So getting the opportunity to max out the fast pass potential first thing this morning made this girl really happy.
We were riding Radiator Springs Racers, the hottest ride on either coast, before the park opened. YES PLEASE!

| Love this shot! Go Stephanie Sander! |
Were we all a bit excited? Um, just a little bit! Even Sean Astin was excited for the ride- he struck his pose from 50 First Dates for us. #geekingout

| Check out those shoes! |

| Yes, Tracy Garcia, that IS Sean Astin. Be cool, girl. |
When the ride was over we made the trek over to Napa Rose, where a private party was going on inside. Guess who’s invited?
