Well there you have it my multitude of pics from Summer Nightastic fireworks!!! So what did I think of them??? They were AWESOME!!! Some of the best fireworks I have seen in a while!!! I just loved how they had them exploding from every which way on the castle and all down Main Street!!! But.... They weren't Wishes!!! Again, the music alone chokes me up during Wishes and these fireworks didn't do it for me either! As soon as I hear "star light star bright..." I get the chills! Wish there was a way for Disney to incorporate Wishes' music and the pyrotechnics of Summer Nightastic... I'd me a very happy camper!
Anywho, back to nights festivities... Are goal was to make it across the hub to Tomorrowland to use our Space FP's... Mother of god, the mob of people trying to get out of the park was ridiculous!!! It literally almost took us 45 minutes to get to Space!!! At one point we lost Tim in the crowd so I texted him to say if we don't meet up before hand, go right to Space. Luckily once we hit the entrance to Tomorrowland the crowds thinned out and we finally found Tim!
Space was great as always!!! Even with a FP we waited a good 20 minutes in line, but no big deal... it was only 10:30pm and we had the park till 2am!!! Yay Boy!!!
After Space, we headed over to Stitches dance party!! Where we boogied on down for a little bit... Yes even my brother danced!!! Good time all around!!!
Rocking out to the YMCA
Once Stitches Dance Party was over, Devon said he wanted to ride Thunder Mountain again so we made our trek back over to Frontierland, but first we grabbed our FP's for Peter Pan!!! Time out to vent here... What is it about Peter Pan that there is always so ungodly wait time to ride this ride??? Don't get me wrong, I love this ride, but really at any given point of the day there is never less then a 45 minute wait time!!! Ok... back to the TR
Thunder Mt. had no wait at all... we hopped right on in our train and we were off!!!
At somepoint during the ride, Tim and Devon decided they were going to ride Splash again if there wasn't a long line... Well there wasn't the wait time posted was 15 minutes!!! I decided that I was going to sit this one one!!! My hair can only take so much!!! LOL!!! I told the guys I would be sitting on the bench ride outside the gift shop as you came of Splash. We went our separate ways... The boys got in line and I browsed the gift shops! About 5 minutes later I got a text from Tim saying they were already on the ride!!! I figured I better get to where we were meeting now so, I walked on over and plopped my rear end on the bench and waited... I had no idea how tired I was till I sat down! LOL... I took this opportunity to call home... Yes, it was late, but I knew my parents would be up b/c the Eagles preseason game was on! We chatted for a bit I told my mom all about what we did that night and she filled me in on the Eagles game. As we were talking Tim and Devon showed up and they each talked to my mom as we walked back over to Fantasyland to ride Peter Pan.
Devon being Silly again!
We arrived at Peter Pan, handed in our FP and walked right on to the ride. I love listening to "you can fly" as to go through this attraction!!!
After a quick flight with Peter we plotted our next adventure!!! Attempting to pull the sword out of the stone!!!
Shoot!!! No such luck!!! Maybe next time!!!
Oh, I took this picture too as Tim and Devon were trying to remove the sword!
I like it so much b/c of the castle in the background!
im and Devon wanted to check and see if Space had a long line so we hiked back to Tomorrowland!!!
Here are a few pics I took along the way
Wait time posted for Space was 55 minutes!!! No thank you!!! We had already rode numerous times that day and at this point I think we were all exhausted so we decided it was time to call it a night as it was well past midnight now!
Yes we were tired, but no trip to MK is complete without a hot dog from Casey's!!! So we grabbed some grub for our journey to the bus stop!
Surprisingly, there was no one in line at all at the All Star Sports stop... I was bracing myself for mass chaos, boy was I happy I was wrong! Then again it was only 1am at this point and MK was open for another hour, so I just we missed it!
A bus pulled up almost immediately after we got to the stop. We waited a few minutes for some more people to get on and we were off! Of course Devon fell asleep on the bus and we had to wake him once we finally got to Sports. Tim offered to carry him, but he was a trooper and walked all the way back to the room... We all changed into our jammies and were fast asleep dreaming of our next fun filled day at Disney within minutes!!!
Well there you have it folks, the completion of day 1!!!
Recap of the day... Yes it was hot and yes it was a little wet, but we all had a great time!!! We accomplished everything we wanted to do and even had some down time to re-energize!!! Couldn't have asked for a better day with my family!
Up next... Lounging poolside and dinner with the dinosaurs!!!
