Saturday March 12: Back to the Magic
Once we got on the bus to MK from AK it was a fairly quick ride over. Here I go again with the unintentional clock pictures- looks like it was about 5:35 when we made it through the bag check line.
We decided that the first thing we needed to do was take a train ride since we hadn't on the other MK day. We boarded on at the Main St. station that was just about to leave.
There weren't too many passengers waiting at the Frontierland station and I managed to snap a shot of DS's favorite thing on Big Thunder Mt.
There were a lot of tired looking families in line to board the train at the Fantasyland station, so much so that not all of them made it on the train. We rode around the final leg and got off at Main St.
Then we walked towards the castle and took a right on to Tomorrowland. Our destination was the ride that was shut down on our visit a few days before- Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin.
The wait time was listed at 30 minutes which didn't seem bad so we hopped in line. The line was stretched outside the building and around the corner to the side. Once we got in line though it seemed like it wasn't moving. Then it backed up behind us out of the actual chained off area and out to the center area where the TTA line is! People kept getting in the fp+ line and than line was moving but we were just standing around barely inching forward every five minutes or so. I checked the wait time on my phone and it was steadily going up till it was at an hour by the time we got to the doors to go in the building! Once inside we could see better that the fp+ line was moving while ours was clearly not. It ended up being and hour and 15 minutes from the time we got in line till when we boarded our vehicles.
Buzz's facial expression in this picture pretty much sums up how I felt at that point. But honestly that's probably the longest line we waited in the whole trip. It was a fun ride as always, but the guys beat me again.
By this time we were ready for dinner- and it was dark out. We walked into Fantasyland and stopped at Pinocchio Village Haus.
The lines weren't too bad but there was a large group of students with vouchers. The CM that greeted us at the door ushered us over to the right into a line and said DH and DS to grab a seat while I ordered. The food came up quick and they had found seats in a nice quiet corner.
DH and I got Cokes to drink but DS just wanted water. He also didn't go with the traditional pizza and got the 8 piece chicken nuggets and fries like he did the night before. He said they were just as fresh and tasty.
DH got the pepperoni flatbread. He was surprised how good it tasted and said the seasoning was nice and liked it better than the normal greasy fast food pizza you get.
I ordered the Caprese flatbread and was also surprised how great it tasted- very fresh but also filling. The cheese was perfectly melted and I normally don't like large amounts of tomatoes but these were wonderful. The flavor combinations made it a perfect choice for me.
Older DS's girlfriend just happened to be at WDW during the same time. Her neighbor that she used to babysit for had to come to Orlando for work and asked her to take her daughter to the parks for those three days- so she jumped at the chance! They had been at DHS during the day but were also planning to be at MK for the evening. We had been texting back and forth and they had also been to Pinocchio's for dinner earlier. DS's gf had ordered the Caprese flatbread as well and loved it just as much as I had. So that's two thumbs up for it!
