Saturday, December 5th - DLR Day 4
The park opened at 8 this morning and we got up super early, I don't even remember what time it was, but we got ready, packed our stuff, went to a ticket booth to get Jesus' Fun Card and made it to the gates before 8. Well, that wasn't the original plan. The WOD was having a super AP sale starting at like 7:30 or something. So we had planned to get there at that time, get Jesus' Fun Card and then go shopping. Well, we got Jesus' Fun Card and went to WOD at like 7:15 and the line was no joke, about 400 people. It was insanity. We asked the CM and she told us they were only letting so many people in at a time and once a certain number leaves, they let in more. They said the wait was about 3 or so hours. Forget that, We decided to just come back later. Oh and we checked out of the Hojo (before all this) and left our car in their parking lot and walked to the parks.
We went to the turnstiles and waited in line. This is what the line looked like about 30 minutes before rope drop.
Snowflakes.
There was a group of ladies behind us and and they asked me where I got my hat. I told them and they all wanted to go get one. It was cute and I hope they went and got them.
We were hungry, so once we were let in through the turnstiles, we went to Carnation Cafe to see if there was a wait. There wasn't and we were seated right away.
There were some union protesting people out on Main Street and I was trying to be nosey to see what was going on.
Cheese!
I ordered the eggs benedict on a croissant and Jesus got Oscar's Choice.
It was so good. That was the first time I ordered it and I just loved it. It was amazingly yummy.
So then we decided we were going to go shopping. Well silly Courtney left her ATM card in her purse in the car at the Hojo parking lot. Jesus was a happy clam (seriously, and I was the one annoyed at myself) and we walked back to the Hojo to go get it. Jesus had a brilliant idea to drive and park in the DTD parking lot and we would be done with our shopping within the 3 hours free time.
We parked in DTD and made it back to DL. The Candlelight Processional was starting that night.
Oh people were already steaking out spots for the CP as soon as the park opened. That's insane.
Pluto!
Christmas Tree alert for SHERRY E!!!!!!!!
That was some store on Main Street.
And it had a Belle ornament.
Jesus' Mom's birthday is the same day as Jesus', so he wanted to be a nice son and get his Mom a present with his Fun Card. So that was our goal. We looked around for a long time. I wanted to go back to Pooh's Corner to get another Tigger Tail (we ate my Mom's the night before). Once we got to Critter Country, Jesus went to the restrooms that are at Hungry Bear while I went towards Pooh's Corner. I took pictures on the way over there.
Piglet's house?
I love bows.
More cupcakes!
These look super yummy.
FINALLY a themed Christmas tree!!! SHERRY!!
Lots and lots of Pooh(s).
Jesus met me at Pooh's Corner and I bought this really cool giant map of DL. It was only $5 and it's huge (it's too big for a regular poster frame). Soo cute. But I need to find a frame for it. Anyways, I also got some more Tigger Tails.
We went back to Main Street and found Jesus' Mom's present. Jesus got her this fleece zippered sweater. It's black and it has Mickey embroidered on the back. It's so adorable and warm. And she loves it. And I got myself a really nice purse. It's a tote and it has 55 on it and is in a plaid looking material. It's on that thread about the 55th anniversary merch.
We then said goodbye and I love you to DL and headed to DTD to go see what was left at WOD. The sale was over by then and it was already going to be 11. We still had to wait for them to clear out the rest of the AP'ers. So we waited.
His button was so cute with a little balloon.
Tweedles!
I found some things at WOD. I got my Dad this super awesome POTC beer mug. It was only $12!
