Oh I'm totally going to do more trip report!!! In fact, here's some more right now!
This is a continuation of day 2 of the trip, but day 1 of us actually in the theme parks. It was about mid-day now, we had just ridden Thunder Mountain Railroad and it was HOT. I hate hot weather, so this was really making me cranky.
We were all VERY unhappy it was so hot outside.
Poor Timmy.
Poor Matty.
Matt even ran out of water. It was getting kinda hopeless at this point.
We're like, steps from the air conditioned building and we were stuck, melting, outside.
I like Matt's shoes. A lot. They remind me of Charlie from Lost. Any Lost fans in this crowd?!
More interesting shots of the queue:
It was pretty dark through the rest of Indiana Jones so I didn't take any more pictures, but man! What a fun ride. Matt got to be in the driver's seat.
So, I believe, earlier, when we had ridden Winnie The Pooh, we had been smart and grabbed fast passes for Splash Mountain before we ventured elsewhere. After we waited like 45 minutes for Indiana Jones, we had run out of water, it was time to brave Splash Mountain.
Now if you've been reading this trip report, you'll remember that, Splash Mountain scared the beejeevus out of me. When I was a kid I thought I was going to die on that ride. But I told my boys I would more than likely brave it for them. It was so hot I didn't really care anymore. I knew no one had ever died on that ride and it certainly wasn't going to be me, now a full grown woman. Plus I wanted to get wet. I was hot.
The ride was pretty enjoyable, although my heart was indeed racing the entire time because I had no idea exactly how long it was or when the drop occured. The boys TRIED to put me in the front seat, but I said the deal was, I was in the middle, sandwiched between them, or I wasn't going at all.
I did actually end up purchasing an 8x10 of this picture, so I don't feel bad for taking a snapshot of the screen. Here are the results:
Please notice Tim's expression. He's in the front.
And while I had fun and it was AMAZING to be soaking wet from this ride on a nasty hot day, this was my initial shock after the drop that scared me so badly:
Oh Matt. Always happy go-lucky.
I'm looking back at these pictures now and we were all over the place this first day, we didn't really plan this well. After Splash, we squished our way over to the Jungle Cruise
Better make your choice and pick the right line!!
I remember the jokes being a lot funnier when I was little. This one kinda feels like it needs to be updated. Maybe. A little bit.
We never did get any better at taking pictures of all 3 of us.
We tried our darndest to find the magic lamp so we could.. rub it. We have a feeling it was in the building. And it was always roped off.
Shrunken Ned!! This was like, the best .50 cents I spent in the parks. "For a long, happy life, eat whatever you want and don't worry about it. A waist is a terrible thing to mind." Yeah right dude. Show him my weight loss ticker.
I really wanted a picture of this window display without any reflections on it. But alas, that was clearly never going to happen.
Timmy at the train station!
We thought this was a nice time to take a break, so we boarded the train around DL!
It was still unbareably hot. I kinda wanted to go back to the room until dinner at the blue bayou at 5:30 and then stay until closing that night so we wouldn't be out in the sun. the boys didn't agree. I'll show you what we did instead, next time
