Let's Get These Magic Hours Started!
Saturday, 11/10 Part 4
The first thing I had to do once the fireworks were over was get to Sleepy Hollow. I was already starting to feel a little tired, and I wanted to wake myself up with some coffee! I'm not a coffee drinker normally, I prefer tea, but sometimes I'll drink it if I want to stay awake!
We made our way through the crowds and got to Sleepy Hollow. I went in the back and grabbed a table and Brandon got our coffee. I had a french vanilla iced coffee, which was terrible, and I can't remember what he had, but it was equally as terrible! Oh well, not really drinking it for the flavor!
Since we were close to Adventureland, that's where we started off!
We were just kind of wandering slowly, watching the crowds leave. The fireworks were insane, but once they were over, tons of people left and it just seemed like a normal night at MK. I didn't find the crowds to be bad at all, but I know others did!
We walked by the Tiki room, and Brandon wanted to see it. He always asks me about it and I always tell him we're not wasting our time with it. But for some reason, he insisted on fighting me about it, and made us go in there! Ughhh!!!
We went in and it started, and it was worse than I remembered. I haven't seen it since I was a kid, and I didn't like it then, and I certainly don't like it now! Brandon kept making comments of how awful it was, and I just sat there smugly like, "see? Told you so!" But I didn't say it, because I kind of knew he felt stupid, being so insistent about it!
When we finally were released from the Tiki Bird prison, I wanted to go on something fun immediately, so we walked towards Pirates...and guess what? It was closed!!!
I don't think I've ever been in Disney when Pirates was closed, but it was! I was disappointed, but I figured we'd be back later in our trip, so it wasn't a big deal!
For some reason, we didn't walk through Fronteirland and through Fantasyland, we cut through the hub and ended up in Tomorrowland
because I wanted to do one of my favorites, the Peoplemover!
Yay yay yay!!! I love this ride so much, it's right up there with Tower of Terror and Soarin for me!
I tried to get a picture of Space Mountain from the Peoplemover and this is what I ended up with:
Not so great, but don't you feel like you're on the Peoplemover right now? I love it SO much!
We then did something we hardly ever do, which was go on the Buzz Lightyear ride! I did awful, as always, how people do so good, I'll never understand, how you know which red dot is yours is so beyond me. Brandon can do it. I'm clueless! Oh well, at least I'm ok at Toy Story Mania!
After Buzz, we went on Space Mountain, which was a walk on! I'm telling you, I don't get people saying that night was crowded, because it was so not crowded for us! Maybe we were in the empty areas of the park? Haha I don't know! I didn't get any pictures, because I put my camera away all snuggly so I didn't lose it on Space, I'm SO paranoid of that! I'm so afraid my bag will fly out into the abyss and I'll never see my wallet, my phone, or my camera again! Or my glasses! That might be the worst...ugh, I can't even think about it!
We then made our way to Fantasyland, and saw that Pooh had no wait, so we went on that!
Always one of my favorites, it's just such a cute, sweet, happy little ride!
Of course, since I was obsessed with finding a way to get into New Fantasyland during AP previews, I checked to see if they were letting people in...they weren't.
We didn't really know what to do next, and Brandon was getting tired and cranky, so we just walked through the castle to the front and tried to decide what to do.
Since we were basically IN the castle, I had to get a few more pics of it up close:
Haha are you guys tired of the Castle dream lights yet? I hope not!
I was getting kind of hungry by then, and even though it was well after midnight, I wanted to go to the Main Street Bakery. We had one of those ice cream cookie sandwiches on our last trip and I was hoping to get one again, they were so good, so we headed towards the bakery! On my way there, I turned around to take a picture of the statue with the Castle lit up in the back, sooo pretty!
Main Street looked absolutely beautiful late at night, with all the Christmas lights, I love it SO much! It is just so perfect when it's decorated for Christmas, it's so magical, it makes you feel like you are in another time!
Oh and see? Hardly anyone there!
Finally we reached the Bakery and got in line!
Brandon wanted each of us to get a cookie sandwich, but I thought that was insane, they are huge! I convinced him one would be good enough, and luckily he listened to me, because they are bigger than I remembered!
We grabbed a table and ate our yummy ice cream cookie sandwich!
It is SO ridiculously good! The cookie is like, the best chocolate chip cookie you've ever had, and the ice cream is the best vanilla ice cream ever! It's SO perfect, I love that you can just get this in Disney World at almost 1 am! I'm sad the Bakery will be closed in a couple of weeks when I'm there with my sister, because I love going there!
Once we were finished, Brandon was done, he was ready to go, and sadly, so was I! And not because I was so tired, I could have stayed up until 3, but I was so physically worn out, and my feet were really starting to hurt...not only that, but I knew we couldn't really sleep in the next day, so we sadly made our way out of the Magic Kingdom, my dreams of staying in the park until 3 am unrealized.
We waited for the ferry and luckily found a place to sit once we got on, because by then, my feet felt like they were actually going to shatter! We then got on tram and found our car in the Zurg lot, which was one of the only cars there. We drove back to POR and I soaked my feet for a few minutes in cold water and then propped them up on a pillow and passed out! I was so exhausted by the time we got back to POR, I just hoped I would get enough sleep so I was rested the next day!
Up next...Animal Kingdom
Oh, and I'll leave you guys with one last picture of the beautiful Castle that I put on Instagram:
