Nebo probably didnt believe me when he asked if there was fireworks. Oh there were fireworks all right. As we made our way out of the WoC viewing area, I asked Lady H if she was having fun. She said yeah and leaned over to give me a kiss.
Just then fireworks went off. Man that must have been some kiss. Try that again. She did and fireworks went off again. I knew she was one heck of a kisser, but never knew she could set fireworks off. They even continued after she kissed me. Turns out the fireworks were coming from DL, but Lady H set them off. There are no fireworks during WoC, but you can see the fireworks that were going off at DL, after WoC had ended. I think thats the one cool thing about DLR. No matter where you are at, you can see the fireworks at DL. If you remember, the first night we were at DTD and we could see them. We saw them while we were at DL and now we can see them from DCA.
We stopped on Buena Vista St. to watch the fireworks and decided to make our way back towards Carsland once they had finished. As did the rest of the crowd. I knew there would probably be no way we would get to ride RSR again, but it was told that we needed to see this place at night. It truly is a sight to see at night.
Lets see what it looks like down Route 66 at night, shall we.
Still no vacancy at the Cozy Cone Motel. Guess well have to go back to our resort for the night.
Flos V8 Cafe is hopping.
Head on over to Luigis Tires. Still a 45 minute wait for Luigis. We pass yet again.
After Luigi's we head on over to RSR. Yup, still a long wait. 120 minute wait and 45 minutes even for Single Rider. I thought we took a picture of the wait times, but apparently not. Oh well, it was still an amazing sight to see.
Can see the headlights of the cars as they come over the hill.
After Carsland we looked at the time and decided we had enough fun at DCA for the day and decided to head back to our resort. We have to be up early again tomorrow, and get ready to drive an hour and a half to San Diego. Want to be rested up for the trip tomorrow so going to bed early sounded like a good idea.
We make our way towards the front gate by way of Bugs Land and pass one of Lady H's favorite rides.
Remember how dead the Mad Hatters Tea Party was? They're sure rocking and rolling now.
We were going to go in and check it out until we heard the DJ announce it would be the last song for the night. We didn't want to go in for just one song, we proceeded to the front, out the gates and to the shuttle pick-up area.
We had some Disney Pixie dust sprinkled on us this night. Tonight there were no ECV's waiting to get on our shuttle. If you recall, when we went to DL, there was a lady on an ECV that was waiting to get on, with all her kids and all her packages that just about filled the entire shuttle. And really, I understand the need for an ECV and I'm not trying to be insensitive to that those that use them. The one thing that annoyed me was her kids came out from everywhere when the shuttle pulled up, then they took up a good amount of seats with their packages. They could've held some, or stowed them under their seats, to allow others to sit. But anyways, that was then and this is now (which actually happened way back then).
No ECV's tonight. Just as we got to the shuttle stop, the shuttle was already there. No waiting 40 minutes for it this time. Soon we were off and we made conversation with some people who had been there 10 days already. They were sad to leave, but as we all know, eventually it's time to go back to work. Unless of course you won the lottery or own a multi-milion dollar business. But for most of us, it would be time to go back to work.
Ok, let me get back on track now. The pixie dust.
Well during our conversation with this couple, they asked how long we had been there and how much longer were we going to be around. We told them this our 4th day here and we'll be here for another 3 1/2 days. I wish I could remember where this couple was from, but the lady offered us her 2 adult passes for the shuttle. They had bought or received a 3 week pass with their hotel package and still had several days left on their passes, so they gave them to us to use. We thanked them graciously and offered to take them to dinner in the future, should our paths ever cross again.
Our last bit of pixie dust for the evening was being let off the shuttle way before our stop. Out of a shuttle of about 40 people, there were only 4 people getting off at our stop. The driver offered to drop us off before driving down the road to let everyone else off. The only downside was we would have to play dodge the cars to cross the street. After he said he would drop us off right before the light so we can use the crosswalk, taking all the fun out of trying to cross the street. That didn't bother us one bit. We needed to cross the street anyways.
We stopped at the liquor store across the street one more time. We had only bought a few park bottles for the day. We were going to see how we were doing on finances before buying more, plus we still had plenty of beer back at the resort to drink. Since the lady saved us money on shuttle passes for the rest of the week, we used the money we would've spent on shuttle passes and bought more park bottles. Plus by eating at Denny's earlier in the day, we actually saved a little money that way as well.
Soon we were back in our resort room and doing our nightly routine. Sitting out on the balcony, jotting down our notes while enjoying a nice cold beer to cap off the night and to finally cap off this day.
Y'all come back now, ya hear. Lady H is going to tell you a story about Sea World.
