Day 3, Part 7: "I told you everyone knows this song!"
Having seen that we could really do The Great Movie Ride, we decided that we were just going to wait until we could get into the Fantasmic viewing area.
So we headed over to the Cantina Eddie's sitting area and decided just to chillax.
I took out the camera and also snapped some lovely pictures.
Here is Traci being unimpressed by my need to document.
And still. But now Veronica and Marie are looking at her.
Checking out the pin halls thus far.
During this time we also drank some water and some of us chatted with others. You can imagine who was chatty and who was not.
It did the trick though to make us feel like we were sort of doing something and it didn't take long until we were able to head in to get our seats for Fantasmic.
Our seats.
We-sie of Marie and I.
So during the pre-show they did the sing off like usual and our side got Don't Stop Believing. Here's the thing. I had just made Marie listen to the song a few days before we left because I told her that it was practically criminal that she'd never heard it and that everyone knows that song.
She thought I was exaggerating.
Let me tell you, once everyone was singing along to the song though, she quickly realized how right I was and I did give her a sort of 'I told you so' look that made her roll her eyes at me.
Sorry love, I don't exaggerate
Everyone knows Don't Stop Believing
And then we settled in to enjoy the show. It was nice to see it with people who hadn't seen it before just to hear their reactions.
I also snapped some pictures. Happy that the people in front of us were wearing Glow With the Show ears. (I also had mine on)
When we were exiting the show it started to rain a little bit and Eli was all for going back to the resort. Which, i was not all for as I'd already missed park time and leaving with a group of Fantasmic go-ers was not on the original plan.
Luckily, Merranda also wanted to go due to staying out the night before so she left with Eli.
That left Marie, Veronica, Traci and me to decide what to do. First we headed over to TSMM but the wait was still 50 minutes and while we originally got into the line, we quickly turned around and decided that we didn't want to do it.
Instead, we made our way over to Star Tours. Marie double checked that it would be okay with Veronica this time, who was for it. So we walked on and had the Wookies.
Afterward, we went to go sit over at the Backlot Express outdoor seating area and talked for a few minutes. Marie didn't want to stay later because it was kinda meh and she was tired. Veronica also was getting sort of tired, but Marie also didn't want to split up again.
Ultimately, I promised her that it'd be fine and she and Veronica left to head back to the resort.
This left just me and Traci and we had one goal in mind. We were going to ride RnRC again because we wanted to complete the deadpan challenge and because Traci wanted to get a shotglass there for her dad.
So, we decided that we'd do that and then leave, hopefully missing the bulk of the crowds and especially those high school students.
As you can see, it was pretty empty.
In fact, we managed to walk on.
Heck, we even managed to deadpan the ride. And then of course, the guy in front of us had to put his hands up. I hate it when people do that. Like, if you're in the back of a car, fine, but otherwise you're going to block other people. Be considerate.
This was the result. Yep, it looks like his fingers our in our noses.
We got off, headed to the gift shop and when we exited the second showing of Fantasmic was just letting out. Crap, that was bad timing.
Plus, I'd wanted to buy a shirt. So, we booked it up toward the entrance, I stopped to buy my shirt and then we left.
We got into line and I noticed a lady in an ECV who had a leg brace trying to get into the regular section of the line after us. Trying to be helpful, I suggested that she use the handicapped entrance at the end so that she could be let on first. Well, she got a bit snappy with me, saying that she'd tried to do that earlier and the bus driver hadn't let her board that way and had made her go through the regular line.
I told her that it was very strange that it had happened and she should try to use it again and fight the driver if he said anything because she should be boarding that way.
I could tell that she was annoyed and possibly thought I was trying to get her into trouble but she did it anyway and just as I thought, the driver let her on with no problems.
In fact, when I got on and saw her she even ended up thanking me and apologizing for her snappiness. Which I didn't blame her for. I mean, honestly, I would have been annoyed too with that other driver.
Unfortunately, there was someone else on our bus. And by someone else, I mean that high school class again. Of course. Tried to miss them and ended up with them. Oh well, we were ahead of them again and got seats so I didn't really care too much except for the fact that they were being as loud as you'd imagine high schoolers surrounded by their friends to be.
We made our way back to the hotel, where Traci and I split up as she wanted to stop for some chocolate milk and I just wanted to get back to the room. I made it back a few minutes before she did, looked at the photopass pictures with Marie and then we all headed to sleep.
