We headed toward the Beast’s castle and checked in for our dinner. We waited for a while outside the doors and were a little afraid they had forgotten us, but they didn’t. Someone came with candles to lead the way. We ended up sitting in the almost exact spot where I had sat with D & H. We even had the same server, Frank.
My brother sprang for a bottle of wine. It was nice.
I had the steak, because the bite I had the first time left me wanting more.
It was delicious. As were our desserts.
After dinner, we posed for a photo with our host. I think my brother said something inappropriate to him about Belle.
The Little Mermaid ride is a logical choice when leaving the Beast’s castle.
We came out of the caves and found Wishes was happening. It was a great view and it’s always fun to see the fireworks from a new perspective.
By Eric’s castle, there were long periods where there weren’t any fireworks and i kept thinking oh i’ve seen enough i’m ready to move on, but just as i would more fireworks would start so i’d have to stop and watch them.
Eventually they did end and we moved on to the circus. During the day I usually don’t dig this area, but at night? I love that place.
We had to check out the fountain even though it wasn’t nearly hot enough to want to get wet. It’s cool to look at.
My brother is pointing out the elephants to me, since he remembers I love them.
There was zero line at the Barnstormer and none of us had ridden it (ok I did but when it was still in ToonTown), so we walked up and took our seats.
That thing was so fun! Since no one else was around they let us ride twice!!
But twice was enough and we headed on our way, and eventually found ourselves in line for Splash Mountain. It was a medium line and they boys in front of us were kind of funny.
We got stopped for a while in one of inside scenes, but it was a very good time.
I remember we were really laughing about something on the way off the ride, and claiming our ride photo. And I feel like it’s something I wanted to remember but I do not. Let this be a lesson to us both, always write things down.
We walked out of the park and back to Bay Lake after that. I’m sure I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
Up Next: Gorgeous morning at Epcot.
