Day 2 : Thurs Oct 23
Got up bright and early and headed over to Captain Kidds for our free breakfast. We were a bit too excited to actually eat a meal so we decided to grab Danishes and some juice to go and headed over to DCA. We were the first in line to get into the park and thanks to DIS we were all ready to give wide right a go!
As we were waiting we met a lot of really nice people in line and that really helped to make the time fly by. Once the park opened and we headed in I was surprised by how rude some people can be. Well not really surprised but disappointed. This one lady was dragging her kid who was screaming and crying as she ran towards the gas hose where we would all wait to be escorted down route 66. So disgusting but I guess karma came into play because she ran to the very far left so she could be right at the rope. We stuck to the right and ended up second behind another family at the farthest right we could go.
Lightning and mater led us towards RSR as the CM's slowly moved the crowd to the right to form the proper line for the ride. We were so excited to be up so close and just as we were about to enter the actual roped off line that same lady with the still screaming child came rushing up and literally pushed my dd out of the way so they could go in front of us. The mama bear in me came out and it took everything in me to not bite her head off but all I said was "good role model for your son" and shook my head. I was not going to let this effect our most excellent experience
We were still so very excited because we counted the numbers and would still be in the first race... now in the front of the second car instead of the back of the first. It was super cool to just follow the CM and go straight to the front with all the cars sitting there shiny and bright, waiting for us to start the day! Just before the CM started loading the first family, out of nowhere another lady with 4 kids came and tried to join with the evil lady in front of us. I told her there was no way I was letting her let them in and she told me to shut the *bleep* up and mind my own business. *SHOCK* thankfully the CM either heard her or saw the tension and came over and asked if there was a problem. I guess they didn't want to deal with the CM because the lady and the 4 kids said no and went back to where they were down farther in the line. I just have to say that I really felt so bad for that poor boy. What should have been an experience of a lifetime was surrounded by such negativity and my goodness, he spent the whole time crying and miserable. Shame on her!!!
We did indeed end up in the front of the second car to load
and both dd and I LOVED the ride so much!! our car won and the only time my dd said anything about the whole negativity was when we won, she just smiled and said "see mom, being nice pays off and being icky doesn't"
After we got off we decided to grab fastpasses to ride again later and headed to go get our photopass+ all set up. Next DD really wanted to ride Soarin' so we headed to that and it was as awesome as I remembered it was in WDW.
afterwards we got a quick pic with Minnie
then headed towards toy story. We got distracted by meeting Jessie
and then the CM said Woody would be coming out right away but DD didn't want to wait. I love the ride queue for Toy Story... So cute and the ride was loads of fun.
Next we rode the silly symphony swings & Goofy's sky school. Having only a Danish for breakfast we were rather hungry but didn't want to eat a huge meal as we had a late lunch reservation for Wine County Trattitoria for our WOC meal package. We decided to grab a corndog and take a much needed rest. *** when you let your 12 year old DD run the show you really end up running all over the park lol.
after our little pitstop we decided to go on Luigi's flying tires before our fastpass to RSR. It took about 10 min to get on with our fastpasses and that time flew by because we ended up in line with our new friends we met in line at the gates earlier. We grabbed more fastpasses for RSR, hoping to ride at night and then toured about Carsland just taking it all in before we had to go for our lunch reservation.
We decided to see if we could get in a bit early for our lunch and got seated immediately
It was a very pretty place and I loved being able to sit in the shaded patio and people watch. DD and I both loved our meal.
I got the salad with shrimp and she got the chicken. The desserts were amazing
and we both walked away stuffed with big happy smiles on our faces!
After eating we walked about and ended up on the Tower of Terror.
This was a huge thing as DD refused to ride it in WDW the year before. I love that ride so much and afterwards DD said she was happy she did it but will NEVER do it again. She really hates the feeling of dropping. Proud she did it at least once though.
we walked about just enjoying the atmosphere and seeing what we could see then headed back to hotel for a rest and to change for WOC.
World of Color was truly amazing! We arrived quite a bit earlier than the fastpasses suggested and they were just starting to get things all set up. We talked to a friendly CM who told us our line would be starting just over by the Little mermaid ride. We were going to hang back until an elderly couple got in line so we figured if they can so can we lol. We chatted up the CM's and the other people in line until it was time to be let in. We ended up in the most perfect spot, right at the rail of the upper level. Smack dab in the middle of everything, best view i could imagine!!
Both DD and I were mesmerized by the whole show. It was my most favourite Disney show ever, even more than Halloween Screams fireworks and OMG did i love that!!! Our photo's sucked so not going to do an injustice by sharing them lol
after WOC we headed back to the hotel but had a quick stop to grab some treats. What an amazing night and we crashed hard when we crawled into our beds!!!
up next...
day 3: Friday Oct 24th, 1st DL day AND 1st Mickey's Halloween party!!!!
