20th Anniversary Trips: "Saying Goodbye to Muppets" Disney World Edition (An April Trip Report)

[StarWarsMomofGirls!]

Our last full day - Making the best of the last day!

Today, being our third day in a row, we decided to not rope drop! It was def needed. We woke up probably around 8:00?

Andy and I grabbed breakfast from Spyglass Grill. Which we were super close to and I really appriciated that being there at the far end of the resort!

Morgan requested a Bounty Platter and Gwen requested a Chocolate croissant. Andy and I just went with Coffees. And then we snacked on Morgan’s left over Cuban Sandwich. Which was not bad cold.

The plan was to hit some rides in Hollywood Studios first then MAYBE try to get on Guardians of Galazy IF we felt up for it.

Roach Trap by Ariella Saucier, on Flickr
At some point, one of the girls noticed a cockroach in the room. We trapped it under a cup like any self respecting girl would do. It looked like it was mostly dead, but we put a half drank iced tea on top of the cups for good measure. You know, just in case… We live in a 100 year old house so bugs are not unusual for us. Gross but it happens. we have seen them in the deluxes also, it's florida and swampy. It happens.

We headed out of room after our big trapping.

We were on the Skyliner a little after 9:30.
Morgan was not happy about riding the Skyliner this morning but she tolerated it. It was slow this morning and she was def getting over being in a tin bucket in the sky.

She survived the ride but wasn't happy about it. We were off the skyliner around 9:45

I made Gwen pick the line to scan in. I have become the worst at picking the lane. I always end up with the slowest line.

Since our window of Slinky Dog was open, we headed into Toy Story Land

And right to Slinky Dog.

I was happy we were riding this again. The girls said we could skip it but I insisted on us riding!

I love Slinky Dog but for some reason the girls are meh on it. I don't know..

We had some time to kill before our LL for Toy Story Mania, So we decided to just wait for Aliens.

It was a posted 20 minutes maybe, maybe 30. But we waited under 15, which is an acceptable wait.

Gwen and I rode together and decided to do the feet and hand up challenge. We slid all over the place and def made it way more fun!

Morgan was “stuck” with Andy and couldn’t slid around. It was more fun that we remembered. It is fun just not worth waiting forever for.

Leaving Toy Story Mania by Ariella Saucier, on Flickr

We were off the ride right at 11:00. We hit all 3 rides in Toy Storyland in one hour, not bad! Thtat was all we had wanted to do in Hollywood Studios. We talked about doing Falcon but everyone was just ok with skipping it. So, we decided to try and hop over to EPCOT and grab a few food booths and then maybe head to Guardians....

 

[StarWarsMomofGirls!]

Morgan wanted to try and get the shirt she saw the other day, so Andy and Morgan headed to the store where she saw it.

Gwen and I stopped to get Num Num cookie and met them outside the store.

They did not have Morgan's size for the shirt. Andy and her had asked a CM and I guess it was a super popular version of the baseball shirt. She got super upset and then got upset that she was upset because she knew she shouldn’t be this upset over a shirt. I think she was just tired. We had been going pretty hard the last few days. And the tour at SCAD was probably a lot as well. It just hit her all at once.

We met up and headed out of the park. Our plan to ride Guardians was looking less likely. But we pressed on.

Morgan and Andy going to Boat by Ariella Saucier, on Flickr

Once outside of the partk, Andy and Morgan decided to take the boat, as she was NOT in the mood to take the Skyliner. Gwen wanted to take the Skyliner so we said we would “race”

On first portion, we got a cab to ourselves and Gwen ate some of her cookie.

And then our second portion we had to share and Gwen felt weird eating the cookie.

Gwen and I won the race. Andy said Morgan was really upset on the boat. And you could tell when they got to us.

The plan in EPCOT was to get some food and then suck it up and wait to ride Guardians. Morgan said she still wanted to try...

It was just about noon, so we needed to eat something anyway, so we headed in.
Daisy by Ariella Saucier, on Flickr
We saw Daisy as we walked in.

And checked out some of the topiaries as we walked towards our first stop.

First stops
Grabbed Violet Lemonade for Gwen. Morgan wasn’t in the mood.

And Chicken and Waffles for Andy. He really wanted to try it. Andy really enjoyed them. He said they were good.

He really wanted to try it. Andy really enjoyed them. He said they were good. Andy, Morgan and Gwen all tried that while I got in line for the thing I still wanted to try.

Over at the Yacht and Beach Club booths, they tried to find a table.

Waited at Yacht Club booth. It was a slow moving line for whatever reason. They weren’t really making anything there.

I got the sparkling wine flight and chips and dip (no picture of the chips and dip sadly)

I loved the dips. It was a simple thing but I enjoyed it. And just wished I had more!

While sitting at the picnic table in the blazing sun.... we realized it was some sort of Dapper Day. Gwen enjoyed seeing everyone in there fancy outfits.

We sat and enjoyed the snacks and discussed what we wanted to do. Morgan wasn’t really coming out of her funk. And we were all hot! So, we decided to just head back to the room and relax. We said Guardian will be here next time. So it was ok.

I took a stackler like photo of this family, they had a retro stroller and the baby was dressed up it was adoable!

I asked if Morgan was ok taking the Skyliner back and she said yes.

We were on the Sklyiner around 1:00.

It was slow again and it was melting Morgan down. But she made it.

Back to the Room by Ariella Saucier, on Flickr
Morgan was just ready for some alone time... she walked back to the room in front of us. Andy and I talked to Gwen about her going to swim with us for a bit so Morgan could have some alone time. Gwen said that was fine.

We got back to the room, the 3 of us changed into our baithing suits and headed to the quiet pool for a dip.

Morgan took a shower and relaxed in the room while we did that.

After the dip in the pool, we grabbed snacks on way back to room, again at Spyglass.
Just some Chicken Fingers, drinks and chips and salsa. It was all basic stuff.

We shared all of the stuff in the room. And between the rest and food, Morgan was in a better mood. So we made the right move. If we had pushed she probably would not have made it for the evening.

We all chilled in the room until it was time for dinner.

Up next Dinner and more evening fun!
