Day 1 Recap
Pretty smooth travel day. Left hotel at 5am and headed to airport. Made it through security quickly and plane arrived on time to MCO. Our room was ready by 11am, so we had time to rest before hitting up DHS.
Highlights of this day:
- Walking into DHS as Captain Plasma was marching down the streets with her Stormtroopers. Awesome to hear the music as we were walking in.
- Seeing my son dance around and enjoy the Disney Jr. show and then interacting with the characters (much better than last year).
- Going to Launch Bay for the first time. Loved the roaming stormtroopers and meeting "not Darth Vader". (aka Kylo Ren). No fear by DS. Forgot to bring something to trade with Jawas (they were trading that day!).
- Riding rock n roller coaster and wondering mid ride why and the heck I was on there (not for me!). Was too shook up and tired to do TOT afterwards but hubby enjoyed.
- Oh the crowds. Walking down the main streets was pretty brutal at times
- Adult lemonade (with vodka shot) for the win!
- Riding Star Tours with DS for the first time. He cried last time and we skipped it. This time, I told him it was a space shuttle. He was a little fearful at first but ultimately said he liked it. Then we made light sabers. Less fun than I thought it would be but my double light saber is pretty cool.
- Almost made it to muppets 3D before DS chickened out. He has a thing about theaters.
- Waiting in line forever at Pizza Rizzos. That place sucks. Pizza is horrible but again adult lemonade for the win!
- Jingle Bam dessert party - check in was a bit weird and we waited in line longer than I was expecting but it was OK. I am ashamed to say that after looking around for a free table for awhile, I eventually sat at a handicapped table. Yes I'm ashamed but I was fully prepared to give up my table if someone in fact needed it. Without having this table and sitting down, this would have been a miserable experience. My son was sleepy and my feet were throbbing. Food was ok. Too much mint. Drinks were good. Probably won't do this again unless the menu gets changed. Fireworks and show were OK, not great.
- Seeing all the Christmas decorations in the parks and the fake snow as we were exiting made me a bit teary.
- Easy bus ride back to CBR where we crashed. No trouble falling asleep!
Oh and no major bathroom issues! Last year we had major issues with DS using the bathroom and having issues with the flushing noise and automatic flush. Like screaming and crying. Not wanting to go issues. At one point on this day, I asked him if he felt better after going to the bathroom and he starts singing "I feel better, so much better now.." (Doc McStuffins reference).
