So I'm sorry, I'm getting a little bored writing this TR as I get ready for my next trip. And now that I know what goes into writing these TR, I am that much more grateful for the more "famous" TRs out there with all their subscribers and views! Way to go and keep up with it all!
So the plan for Saturday night was to head over to DLR until it started getting crowded around 8ish for the fireworks. Then we'd go over to DCA and just kind hang out and shop and stuff, and of course ride Toy Story again. And then we'd head back to DLR for the night. We planned, also, tonight to wear pants so that we weren't freezing. Saturday night was our most fun night that we had in DLR and we were actually there until it closed! Wahoo! I reached my goal - Lame goal, I know. But I reached it!
So when we got to DLR we went to get fast passes for Splash. At the time, the line was wrapped clear around to the entrance that starts over by Haunted Mansion. It said 60 minute wait and people were gladly willing to wait that long. I thought it was so crazy that people would wait that long. DH was shocked as I kept pointing out how long of a wait they had as they hadn't even reached the point where the FP people enter. And since we were over there...we of course had to make a visit to Pooh Corner. This was a special visit for me since it was the first time going there since I had heard so much about it from the DIS.
We didn't get anything since we hadn't eaten dinner yet and wanted to eat that in the park. Dang that budget. Plus DH isn't much of a "random sweets" type of guy. More of an ice cream and cake occasional lover. So we headed over to take a trip on the BTMRR. Wait was only 15 min, but we waited around 10.
Then we walked over to a bunch of places deciding what to eat...took forever to decide since I wasn't too hungry. DH decided he wanted a hot dog at Coke Corner. I then had an epiphany! I could finally have the made-famous by DIS corndog! We went over to the cart and waited like 15 minutes in line. There were 3 people/orders ahead of us, but after the first order, the machine went down and they didn't tell us until after we had waited forever. DH wasn't happy about it and therefore I let him scarf down his food before I could take a pic - didn't want to press my luck!
Then DH reluctantly agreed to ride Small World with me. I knew it would be my only ride on small world with him until we come back with our kids in like 10 years.
So here are my pictures from Small World
And these were the only pictures that didn't turn out too blurry. I only have a point and shoot camera, so maybe thats why they turn out so horrible. I should know this, I only took a bazillion photography classes to fufill my graphic design degree.
and by the time we came out...it was dark!!!
About this time people were lining up for the fireworks so we headed over to DCA and went on Toy Story. I guess we waited in line?? I can't remember? Maybe it was this time around that we rode single rider and got to go together? Oh who knows..we went and it was a BLAST!
Then we walked around some more and tried to find DH and Mickey Ice Cream sandwich - and we couldn't find one ANYWHERE! We kept seeing the carts but they were closed. Then on the way out from the park, we realized we still needed to kill some time before the fireworks ended. We came across Bur-r-r Bank Ice Cream and got ourselves the Chocolate Chip Cookie Hot Fudge Sundae to split.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Hot Fudge Sundae - Two scoops of vanilla ice cream and two freshly baked Chocolate Chip cookies, topped with whipped cream, hot fudge, chocolate morsels and a cherry. $5.79
Then began our search for the perfect picture in front of the castle at night. We arrived and there was quite a line for the photopass. There were about 3 groups in front of us. When the group in front of us went, the photographer seemed to be having some problems. He said that his flash wasn't working right. He said he needed to contact his boss or something and that he would be back. He took his camera, tripod and all, away. So there we were, this random line of people just waiting by the castle. So what did we do? Well the group behind us started to take some pictures and then we took pictures for them. And then DH was asked again and again to take photos. At one time there was a short wait for people to have DH take them. He was all jolly and smiles during this time.
I just kept laughing at how many people asked him to take pictures. About 15 minutes later, the photopass guy came back with his boss and we got some beautiful pictures. The best part was that the people behind us were DIsney nazi's, like me, and had to strongly protest, on our part, that we should be first in line since a couple random groups surrounded the photographer before we had a chance to get set up in front of it. But before we knew it, the group behind us (all 6 or 7 of them) started making a fuss. It was funny, IMO. I'm sure the people that were kicked out of the way felt confused. Also, while we waited, the people behind us also offered to take a picture of us in front of the castle after watching DH take so many. Photopass pictures to come later...photoshare has over 800+ pictures in it and I'm not about to search for it!!!
Thanks nice people!
Then over to Splash - caught this cool picture on the way - totally edited by the way since this is a point and shoot camera!
And this one - not as cool.
Then on splash - No wait. People were just riding again and again. And yet, we used our FPs. CM must have thought we were crazy! I felt bad though, this group of teens just kept riding again and again (they seemed like one of those nice groups) and since we came, they made them not able to ride again, but the other part of their group in front of them got to ride again! So DH and I got our own boat! I thought that meant we would get soaked, but we stayed pretty dry. Thank goodness - it was a little chilly.
We rode a few more rides and then went over to Finding Nemo.
Still learning how to take night pics on my camera without a flash...
And as we walked by Tomorrowland Terrace - took a pic of the band playing. They were playing "Hot in Here" by Nelly - which is not the most family friendly song. So they changed the lyrics to something kinda cheesy. Lots of people watching and hanging out though
The wait for Nemo looked pretty decent. We got in line around 11:30. I think it was a 25 minute wait? We waited around 15ish I think. The ride was so boring. DH was bored and a little uneasy about the space and being so small. It is so tiny down there! Stairs are steep too. The ride was too long too. Only cool thing for me was trying to figure out how it all worked together from creative standpoint. Other than that - I don't ever see the need to ride it again. Unless you're a huge submarine or nemo fan, skip this ride. This is the pic we took in line showing our tiredness and slap happiness from being at the parks so late.
But we did it! After we left Nemo the announcement came on and told us that the shops would be open for another hour and DH and I slowly - very very slowly made our way to the parking tram. On this night, on that walk I had a somewhat hurt left ankle. A very bad blister on toe on my right foot, and an unknown problem with my arch (which took a good week to go away, I couldn't really walk correctly for the following 3 days). I was a mess! But nonetheless - such a fun night!!! Love my DH!
I was shocked, but they really wanted to do something nice for us!
But he did say he would wear a button, lol, I'll take what I can get! 
might not let me wear them! Kidding... he's not the boss of me!
