We headed back toward Adventureland next and took a ride with some pirates. You might know them, they are from the Caribbean?
At this point I seem to be slacking on my photo taking responsibilities, which is a theme late at night. Photos just don’t come out as well, and since most rides don’t have waits, there isn’t a lot of down time.
Sadly, these this is the last time I will take photos of the kids playing with the toy guns in the drop shop of Pirates.
We quickly headed over to the Jingle Cruise, where the queue was so fast, this is my only photographic proof we were there:
And I didn’t take one photo on the ride, because it was dark, and I knew we would be riding again in the daylight. FINALLY!
After escaping from the Jungle we were all ready for a treat… and as per usual Lorelai wanted popcorn (yes, I know it is a no-no with braces, but I let it slide) and Ethan only had eyes for a Mickey Ice Cream Sandwich. I think Erik got a Diet Coke and I got a water… and maybe some popcorn.
We ended up having to go to two different carts because the first cart we stopped at, didn’t have popcorn and all of their ice cream was melted. I think I only got my water there. I don’t have my receipt for the other treats…
After our treats we were close to Tomorrowland, so that is where we headed. The kids were insistent that we ride Space Mt., Erik wasn’t go close to it, I wasn’t comfortable letting them ride alone, so I went. After riding DL’s version, I really have no interest in WDW’s. Even the kids said that it had lost it’s appeal after DL.
We took some bio breaks, picked up Erik, and headed toward Fantasyland, our destination was the Barnstormer, but we got side tracked by:
Ethan was insistent, and there was no wait, and you know how long of a wait it can get to for not a great pay off, so we agreed.
We ended up riding twice in a row, because there was no wait.
After the Speedway, there really wasn’t much time left. We headed toward the Barnstormer, but when we got there it was down. So what would be our last ride of the night?
A private ride on Dumbo of course!
We each got our own elephant and the rest of the ride was empty, we were the last ride of the night as it was actually 12:01am when I took the photos.
We took our time making it to Main Street and took some photos of the castle.
We stopped to have some Photopass photos taken. The photographer heard me say I wanted the castle lit up, and at that moment they started the goodbye spiel and the castle started changing colors. She had us stand there in the same position forever to wait for the castle lights to come back on. I wanted to tell her that this was only our first day, and we had many more nights to get the photo but she was so insistent she was going to get the photo.
I give you our family standing in one pose for 3 minutes, now I know that does not feel like a lot of time. But you try standing in the middle of Main Street with a line of people behind the photographer shooting daggers at you from their tired eyes!
We finally made it to the bus stop at 12:30am, and we were met with this sight:
YIKES!
I wish I was a child and could sit on the ground as easily as they can!
We finally made it on a bus, which was beyond packed and there were some grumpy people on the bus. Lorelai was one of them. Standing on a crowded bus at nearly 1am, is not her idea of fun!
Luckily we were the first bus stop and we were in bed very quickly! I wasn’t too worried about waking up the next day, as we had the morning off in anticipation of our Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party night!
