Makes sense, short trip with APs... might as well hit the highlights!
Or even Habit Heroes...
Lol In DS's book, Habit Heroes was a highlight!!
Cool! Nice to get a little extra time, especially when you're on such a short trip.
It was a nice reward for getting the kids up and our of the room so early, for sure.
Ok, definitely not what I'd choose to do at RD or even at all on a short trip, but I'm glad you were able to carve some time out for him to do what he really wanted to do. Especially since it will be going away.
We didn't really have much we wanted to accomplish that morning, which now I'm glad for because I'm glad DS got to do it one more time before it went away. He was really bummed when he heard the news!
Right?! Now he likes going fast, but that time he was still pretty unsure about that part of the ride.
Doesn't it amaze you some of the things they take literally when you have no intention of it being that way?
Oh my gosh, I couldn't believe he thought I was serious! But it definitely gave me a good laugh!!
Yes, it is. I remember doing that once.
It's actually pretty fun, although weird.
Glad you got it in while you did. Good trip to do things for the last time, I guess.
Little did we know this was a trip about doing several things for the last time!
Izzy saw this picture earlier and said, "That looks like me when I was a baby!"
Awww, that's a high compliment coming from a cutie like Izzy! True story, Paxton thinks every little boy in every picture is him. I really got a kick out of watching
@TheMaxRebo 's DL trip video with him because every time he saw Peter he would ask if that was him. I kept asking him, "Paxton, do you even know who these other people are or remember going on vacation with them?! Why do you think that is you??" And he would just giggle.
Nice that you go to Epcot early and that it opened early!
Love DH's Spaceship Earth face!
Awww that's kinda sweet that DS wanted to do Habit Heroes! And good thing he got one last time in before it shut down!
LOL I am dying at the thought of DS picking up the cheerios off the ground! Silly boy!
Sounds like a fun morning at Epcot!!
It was a nice bonus for getting up and getting the kids ready so early to have those extra few minutes to do SE before the crowds descended.
He tries to outdo his goofy SE face on every ride!!
It was actually fun to watch him have such a blast doing HH, and this trip was not about trying to fit in everything we normally do on a long trip, so it was nice to have that moment with him. Especially considering it was unknowingly about to close for good! He was pretty bummed when we broke the news.
He actually reminded me of this Cheerio incident just yesterday. I guess it stuck with him too!! lol
Fun morning and Epcot and glad you beat the crowds! The parks didn't seem overly crowded but since we arrived on Saturday and did our first park day on Sunday, I think that helped.
We love those games after Spaceship Earth too! They like the shuffleboard and racing games but I'll have to be on the look out for the body parts one.
I'm sad that Habit Heros is closed! I was going to try that in May since we have 2 Epcot days. But it's great that DS got to enjoy it one more time!
Great use of FP+ to split the big attractions up!
And I think it was a good call to skip Disney Springs as much as I would have loved to meet up! Parking was crazy and the 2 hour wait for Santa was crazy if you didn't have any other plans to shop around. Can't wait to hear about the rest of your evening!
It probably did help that you arrived at the end of the weekend. Pretty much early mornings weren't too bad, but as it got closer and closer to lunch, people just kept pouring in and it got pretty crowded. But nothing like the horrendous lines & crowds I had imagined we would find Thanksgiving week, so that was nice!
The body parts one is kind of near the exit if I'm remembering right. There's one on each side of the doorway. Oh, we totally forgot about the racing game too! He had played it in
Disneyland but we never seemed to remember that they had it at the end of SE. He still enjoyed the other games though. Sometimes I think he likes that stuff more than the rides!
DS was so bummed to hear about HH closing, especially with all of the other stuff closing that he likes (Lightning & Mater meet, Lights Motors Action, Osborne Lights, Animation Academy, etc).
I loved being able to split them up and combine with rider swap! And DS loved getting to ride some stuff twice.
Oh yes, I absolutely thought the same thing when I read your update about it. I would have been so annoyed since we were trying to get back to the park for the evening!
I love your photos of the lights. DS looks so happy to have seen them.
The strangest things entertain kids. Who'd have thought Habit Heroes would warrant another visit?
Probably a great decision to head back to the room early and eat at the CBR food court. And it sounds like a pretty relaxing afternoon for you, being able to rest in the room with DD while DH and DS went swimming.
He absolutely loved them! Just sad DD will never get to really enjoy & remember them, but it was nice to have made the memories with both of them one last time.
DS just loved all of the stuff in Innoventions, but Habit Heroes topped the list! He was definitely bummed when he heard it was closing. I'm glad we took the time to let him do it instead of just saying we'd do it "next time" and not being able to in February.
It was nice to get out of the crowds and enjoy the resort for a bit. DS had been asking about the pool since he first laid eyes on it, and I didn't mind relaxing in the room watching Dexter while DD napped either.
It is (or I guess, was) an amazing sight to see!
DH had seen pics online and we knew we had to have one! That sucks that stuff was sold out by the time you visited.
