Day Four: Rope Drop?
After our late night at Magic Kingdom, I must have mentioned a million times about needing to get Hollywood Studios for for rope drop. I booked fastpasses for Rock'n Rollercoaster since we were hoping Gwen would be tall enough to ride this time. Which meant if we wanted to ride Toy Story Mania we needed to do that first thing.
Here is our schedule / cheat sheet for today.
We set our alarm for 6:00 but I think we all got moving around 6:30.
Here is what Tinkerbell left for the girls... I went cheap dollar store items today.
At 6:34 the girls mustered the energy to get out of bed to check out the goodies.
We got moving and managed to get to the bus stop AND on a bus at 7:23!!!! Pretty sure we all went to the park dirty... Shhhh don't tell Mickey!
The girls had asked if they could have there leftovers for breakfast...
So, it was the breakfast of champions this morning!
Morgan's was at least semi-nutritious...
The bus ride was uneventful, and we made it through security and the tap stiles by 7:48! We made!!!! They had left people past the tap stiles but held everyone by starbucks. We squeezed our way into the mass of people waiting. And chatted with an older couple while we waited.
Right at 8:00 am they started letting people move into the park. Half of the crowd headed towards Tower of Terror and Rock'n Rollercoaster and the other half headed towards Toy Story Mania.
We got into the actual line at 8:05. At this point, they had pretty much all of the que outside while they worked on the new entrance.
They kept expanding the line as everyone funneled in. So, we kept moving for the most part. We got to see Cruz... even though we don't know who that is. ha.
While in line, i worked on fixing Gwen's hair from the night before. But before long we had made it inside.
I tried to get the girls to smile in front of the wall... I guess it was too early for them to smile.
I said smile and got this...
By 8:23 we were on the bridge over the ride. We were almost there! And the line STOPPED! And we started waiting and waiting and waiting.... I finally told the girls to sit down and pulled out some snacks from my bag.
While we waited you could see some CM getting training on how to load and unload handicapped guests. Which was kind of interesting.
We waited some more with NOTHING happening. And the girls were getting crabby... Finally the ride was officially down and they started moving people out of line! At 8:40 in the morning! Soooo, our plan to ride first thing in the morning were squashed. They were scanning everyones bands as we left the line, so we could come ride later. So, all was not lost.
Needless to say the girls were SUPER disappointed.
So, what should we go do now? How do you bounce back from that? You will just have to wait and see....
