We walked out and the parade or should I say Block Party Bash was about to start. We had 5 or so minutes and I had no interested in trying to actually walk somewhere at that point in time. I also had no interested in trying to get closer. I don't like people who walk up last minute!
We sat right by Play & Dine and enjoyed people watching first. All the people just don't seem to get say out of the walkway. Poor CM's.
Anyways, the Monsters Inc part stopped at the perfect spot for us to see.
I sat up above and the boys down below.
They aren't too big into parades. Shortly you'll see what usually happens.
Yes, they are both really asleep in this picture. They'll sleep anywhere. As I type this Dallas fell asleep in the living room chair. He is sick though so i am not surprised.
I am not sure what I thought of this parade. It was cute but I would prefer for it just to be a parade I think. We were the first stop and it lasted quite a while. I cannot imagine being further back along the parade route. It would take forever to get to you! They had Toy Story first, then Monsters and followed with A Bug's Life. I just love the Pixar parades and so usually love the ones at DHS. I guess since it isn't a real parade it just isn't as great.
After the parade Dallas was still out so we put him in his stroller and walked towards Rock N Rollercoaster. He REALLY wanted to go on it! So I told Lin to get some fastpasses in case he was tall enough. It was going to be super close.
The fast passes were gone though so we used the restroom and people watched some more.
Lin took this picture as I was walking back.
It was time to head towards the Lights, Motor, Action or whatever it is called. We love to sit in the top row!
I always find it interesting to sit up here and look at the rest of the park. If you look you can see where some of the buildings aren't finished on the back side. So unlike disney for something like this to ever be seen.
On our way out I saw this adorable Monsters Inc skirt. I was a little confused though because I hadn't seen one custom this entire trip and knew Jeanne made Lily a Monsters skirt, but it wasn't her. Well once I saw Seth I remembered that Lily had a cousin and it was her! Mike and Luke were right there so chatted with them for a minute or so. Mike had said Jeanne was off seeing characters and it made me just wish i was with her vs watching these shows that I just don't find that great. Then she happen to call Mike so i got to chat for a second. She was waiting for Beauty and the Beast. It has been years since I have seen it and really wish I was with her now at this point. I was feeling great though and we were probably heading out shortly.
I decided we would walk down by the rollercoaster just to see if Dallas was tall enough. Well the wait said 100 minutes. No way was I waiting and wouldn't you know the guy gave him the okay! Although I wanted to be guaranteed that we wouldn't get to the front and get turned down. This happened at Space Mountain once a few years back. We had 3 different people say he was okay to go and got to the front and they refused to let him go. I understand for safety's sake but why did the first 3 say okay and WHY did they let us wait in the line. They weren't very nice about it either and obviously it still irks me to this day!
The guy just kind of said well, he is tall enough. We decided we would just do it next time. Although looking back now there is no way the wait time was that long and it ticks me off that it said that. They weren't even in the queing area outside, they were only right along the building. Fantasmic was about to start and the people were pouring into the show. I really think disney does this on purpose and I don't like it. I don't like it so much that I really think it will be a LONG time before disney gets alot of our money again. Atleast WDW. I am pretty over it right now.
Dallas had said he wanted to see Fantasmic earlier in the day but then we were all tired and I just wanted to go the hotel. I am sure we gave him some sort of choice although I don't remember it but he said he would go back to the room happily!
I took a picture on the way out and we were off.
We decided to go off property and eat tonight. You see, I am also growing tired of disney food. It is overpriced and not that great and I don't plan 6 months ahead of time where I want to eat! I don't even plan a trip that far ahead of time! We went out the back and saw Olive Garden. We all love it there so decided on it!
As you can see we were worn out! We headed back the room and I am sure went to sleep by a decent time.
