Day Three:
The final stretch !! Ive been so damn busy in the past week (pardon my French!). Shyboy72 was in the emergency room today because he is not feeling well, so give him some pixie dust.
On our last day, I tried to get everyone to wake up early and we did a pretty good job because we were up and packed away out of our hotel rooms before the elders did ! We hung out in the patio area where people eat the continental breakfast until they were ready. We took pictures too
I knew we had to head for DCA to get on TSMM so that the people who didnt get a chance to ride it got to. We were there about 20 minutes before official opening of the park and got in the queue for TSMM that wrapped around toward GRR. We took pictures here too haha
It was a funny experience because we were in front of Mr. Potato Head for a good amount of time and he singled out TheAXIOM .. hey you with the plaid! It was fun
After, we went straight for California Screamin. Both were about a 15 min wait. SOOO worth it! Then we headed towards TOT and got on that twice in a row because the first time it didnt take our picture HAHA!
To end DCA, we went on Monsters (my fave).
Then we decked it for DL, but stopped to take a family photo at the traditional spot. Once that was done we passed all our park hoppers to TheAXIOM and he ran straight to Indie (which ended up being closed). We got in line for Nemo because we knew that would take a while. TheAXIOM went to Space Mountain but we would be done with the park by the time we could use the FPs. So I directed him to Roger Rabbit because the newbies HAD to go on that. The parents + Shyboy72 hung out and ate some burgers in Tomorrowland while we waited in line for like 45 minutes. We ate some frozen treats and french fries in line. We also took some funny videos that disneyL0VE uploaded on youtube.
After, we went to ToonTown. BTW, it was CRAZY PACKED on Sunday the 12th. I didnt want to believe that Columbus Day would affect our trip, but let me tell you, IT DID. Once we got there, Roger was not running, but they said we could use our FPs any time in the day. It was kind of hot outside and kind of frustratingly packed. There was only one other ride I could think of that we should go on, so we headed toward Critter Country to go on Winnie the Pooh. We stopped at Big Thunder on the way there. Before going towards Critter Country we munched down on some Turkey legs and Corn Dogs.
Pooh was interesting because it was about a 20 minute wait. Ive never been around for that! Everyone was pretty beat and disneyL0VE & TheAXIOMs dad (my uncle) was already at DTD waiting for them. We were SOOO pressed for time. It was crazy ! After, we decked it for ToonTown to try one more time before heading out of the park. It took us like 30 minutes to get from Critter Country to ToonTown. It was CRAAAZY BUSINESSS!
We got on the ride, which was fun ! It was soo funny to hear Eeyore say I can return it if you dont want it. Then left the park to do our shopping, but not before I got some shots of Disney Magic. Im a graphic designer, so placing images on to layouts is a piece of cake and I did not want to try and use what the photopass people were using. So I made my own!
We shopped at the World of Disney for our souvenirs/gifts. I loooove the Villian hands in the store! They are too cool for school
After, we went to Dennys for some dinner. I was so tired, I was falling asleep while chewing my food. We did SOOO much the whole weekend and I was beat.
The Shuttle Van guy was waiting for us while we were paying for our meal. We parted with my cousins the DISers and headed for SNA. While hanging out in the airport, my dad, uncle, two cousins, and fiancée went for the bar to wind down. My mom, fiancees sisters, and I relaxed at a nearby gate and reminisced about the weekend. On Saturday night I lost my voice and sounded like a 75 year old chain smoker. It was ridiculously funny. Everyone was laughing at me and yelling out my name because I sounded silly. My quote for the day was I need a lozenge which I stole off of Sean a CM running our service elevator on TOT. He was the BEST.
About 30 minutes before boarding, we got in a tired/giggly mood and we were cracking up about EVERYTHING. The other passengers waiting in the terminal were staring at us like we were crazy, and I wouldnt blame them! The flight attendant checking us in said, wow, I wanna go with you guys wherever youre going!
We all were tired/sleeping on the plane, then headed in our separate ways back to reality.
I had a ton of fun, and I know they did too! I looooved this years Halloween experience and I hope they think about getting together again for another magical Disney Adventure
