Day 2, Part 3: "Everyone judges my parenting!"
Now that we arrived, we checked out the map to make sure that we were going the right way. Luckily, our destination was right in front of us, so no room to get lost.
We had a 12:10 reservation (or something like that) at Trail's End. It's not exactly an extremely popular destination, so when we got in we were one of probably only five tables there. But that was fine with us because the service was quick.
We got our drinks really quickly and Marie was reunited with her true love: pomegranate lemonade.
Our food also came out quickly. Perks of it being empty.
I had the chicken and waffles, sans maple syrup. I should have gotten it on the side. But the chicken was amazing. I'm not too big on waffles in general so I didn't eat much of them. I'd order it again just for the chicken.
Marie had the pulled pork sandwich with the slaw on the side (she doesn't like it, nor do I). And it was really delicious.
The s'mores dessert was the whole reason Marie had wanted to eat there, so we split it. Or well, I think I had two bites and Marie ate the rest of it. It was also delicious but the Marshmellow gelato had a really weird texture, so it mostly went uneaten.
We forgot our Tables in Wonderland card (oops!) that morning so we used our AP discount instead. Which, you know, at least saved us some money.
Overall verdict on Trail's End? We loved it. We'll definitely go back again some time.
Satisfied with our meal, we decided to head back to the Magic Kingdom after looking around at the beach area a little more and deciding that Fort Wilderness looked nice, even if it is too big for us.
I mean, look at this map. Much too large for us.
We found out that the boat for the MK wasn't there but there was a small resort boat leaving, so we decided that we'd head over to the Contemporary and walk back to the Magic Kingdom because it'd give us an excuse to go that way.
As you can see, the sun had sort of come out during our time eating. So we decided that it was way too hot to walk back to the Magic Kingdom. Instead, we'd take the monorail and have an excuse to actually go inside the Contemporary.
But first... photo-ops!
Marie looking fab.
Who knows what I was doing? Because I really don't.
A nice couple saw us and offered to take a picture with the two of us, so we thanked them and took them up on that.
We decided to pass on taking more pictures with things.
Instead, we just headed inside and looked around a bit before making our way up to the monorail.
The monorail ride was nice and quick. We even got to sit, so that was a plus.
We reminisced over the time that Marie tried to kill me on this pole.
I like the fall decorations a lot.
Pumpkins be so cute.
Unfortunately in our time out of the park, the rarest of the MK creatures returned:
Originally we headed off to go ride Winnie the Pooh but we saw the Fairy Godmother out and meeting so we decided that we were going to get in line.
Except the line was closed, but the attendant told us when she'd be back out. Then headed over to ride Winnie the Pooh. The wait said 20 minutes, but it was much shorter and being a group of 2 we shaved another few minutes off our time.
For some reason I have zero pictures of this, but I promise it happened. I wouldn't lie about riding Winnie the Pooh.
We then went to grab some water at Friar's Nook and saw that the step-family was out meeting. Afraid the line was closed, we quickly headed over and found that it was still open! Score.
The line was sooo hot to wait in and the lady in front of us had gotten a milkshake for her daughter, but some of the milkshake was coming out the top because there was so much so she spends minutes complaining about how gross that is and how they gave far too much ice cream.
Meanwhile Marie and I are standing there like, ... too much??? The looks we kept giving each other as she continued to complain to her mother were speaking volumes and finally the lady took it back to get a new one. That's right, she wanted a new milkshake with less milkshake.
She came back a few minutes later with less milkshake and was still annoyed about other things. But luckily it was soon her daughter's turn to meet the step-family.
Drizella told the girl to give her best attitude strut and the girl shyly walked up to them. At which point, Drizella gave a grade:
"A for effort... C for execution."
And thus the TR title was born while we were cracking up.
When we approached the family Drizella talked about how she'd just been being honest and Lady Tremaine went on about how the girl's mother needed to teach her daughter to give more attitude.
She defended herself in the following way, "Everyone judges my parenting! If they're going to judge mine, I'm going to judge theirs."
I told her it was fair.
Overall it was a great meet and we ended up getting back into the line since the Fairy Godmother would be coming back out to the same spot. Marie got some more water because it was that hot and we waited a while but we managed.
The Fairy Godmother was a total sweetheart. We chatted a little and she asked if we'd rode the royal horses yet. When we admitted that we hadn't she suggested that we go take a spin on them because they were very well trained, and gave us the proper direction.
Those two very important meets taken care of, we had an even more important FP+ to get to.
