Chapter Thirty-Four: Eating a Nutella Waffle Sandwich is seriously an event in itself.
Day 6: January 22nd, 2013
After we ended our voyage under the sea, we met up with Bruce and Amy... and I saw that Gaston was meeting people! It wasn't hot Gaston, but I still thought it would be awesome to meet him. Unfortunately I missed the cut off at the end of the line, so we headed out and over to Big Thunder for some FPs!
On our way, I marveled at the new Tangled restroom area that they were working on. I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS IN PERSON. I have seen the photos and it's BEAUTIFUL in that area. Ugh. Restrooms or not, it's kind of amazing and I can't wait to see it in September!
We had to stop for a photo opp in Liberty Square because we'd never done it before, AND there wasn't anyone around...
I kind of love this photo of us, hahaha.
Bruce and Amy were just really sad about being jailed.
We finally got over to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and grabbed our Fast Passes!
Man, looking back, we were getting a lot done this morning and it was nice to have it not be insanely busy in the parks! Definitely nice that the MLK Jr. Weekend crowds were finally dying down a bit, because they were really cramping our style.
We still hadn't gone on Jungle Cruise yet, so we all headed over there for a little cheesy-joke fun. On our way, I stopped to take a photo of the progress on Splash Mountain. I was SO happy to see them giving it such a much-needed refurb. It was crazy to see it like this, though!
I've heard that it looks BEAUTIFUL now and so I can't wait to go on this in September. I will probably just want to ride it over and over again (much to Matt's disliking) in September, haha. He hates the drops, but loves everything else... but at least he understands why I love it so much!
Jungle Cruise had a bit of a wait, but it wasn't the end of the world. It actually gave me time to look at some of the details in the queue... which I LOVED. I love how the really dry and ridiculous jokes can be found all over the queue if you look!
I love Jungle Cruise. I love the corny jokes, and especially when you get a good skipper. We had a good one from what I can remember! Plus, elephants!
Animatronic or not, they're adorable.
I always find myself laughing really hard, even while it's pretty quiet because people don't get the jokes or whatever, hahaha. I'm that girl, what can I say?
Anyway, we headed back over to Big Thunder from Jungle Cruise for a wild ride in the wilderness!
We had a blast, but Bruce and Amy decided they wanted to head back to their room to rest, but before they went back, we all grabbed more FPs and they gave us theirs!
I have to say, one big benefit of going with a group of people: when two people don't want to go on something, you can get their FPs and go on twice! It's quite awesome.
Matt and I decided at the same time that we were really jonesin' for a snack, so we walked with Bruce and Amy through Adventureland, and then said goodbye to them!
We hooked a left, just before heading out of Adventureland and into the hub... Because it was time for the most epic snack that you could ever imagine... that resides at Sleepy Hollow... The...
Nutella Waffle Sandwiiiiiiich!
Well actually, we had to sit in a line for a while before we could order, but we knew it was well-worth the wait.
While we waited, there was a couple behind us who had on the bride/groom ears and was obviously on their honeymoon. I almost said something to them but then didn't, and I have no idea why. But I love seeing other couples go to Disney for their honeymoon/anniversary because that's how we've done things... and, well, we've obviously loved every second of it.
Anyway, we both ordered iced coffees of some sort, and decided to split the Nutella Waffle sandwich because we'd heard it was the perfect snack to split with a person.
Soon enough, our order was called and we were handed our delicious-looking basket of amazingness, topped with bananas and strawberries.
I mean, come on, how good does that thing look?!
I tortured Matt by making him wait after we sat down at a table for another photo. I am cruel.
I finally let him dig in and... yup... The ooey gooey deliciousness of the Nutella on the waffle just looked crazy good.
I could not wait any longer, put down my camera, and dug in... and it was SO SO good.
This became one of my favorite things I've ever eaten at Disney World. I mean, it's so simple, just fruit, Nutella and a waffle... but together, it's just perfect. And ridiculously delicious.
Sure, I could make it at home, but this is so sinful that I really think limiting it to Disney World makes it ten times more special.
We also really enjoyed the area we got to sit in and eat. It was nice and quiet, with a perfect view of the castle. It was a nice break and I'm looking forward to eating there next trip!
We left Sleepy Hollow and had a serious sudden urge to go on the Haunted Mansion (though this isn't out of the norm for Matt, duh).
Unfortunately, things were starting to pick up at the park, so the wait said it was 30 minutes. We didn't really mind since it didn't actually look that long, plus we didn't have anywhere to be, so we hopped in line anyway!
It ended up not even taking that long, which was great! Only around 10-15 minutes! I love the queue anyway, so I was cool with it.
After we got on, the ride actually stopped... a lot. Most people get all cranky about this, but for me and Matt, HECK NO.
Matt, because it's his favorite ride, and me, because it means I can actually get some decent photos in the dark on my camera!
It was a fantastic ride for photos, and as much as it took a while, we obviously enjoyed ourselves on it.
Our Big Thunder FPs were up, so we headed over there and ran into a loooong FP line, which was a little annoying. Evidently the crowds weren't completely gone, but luckily we only waited around 10 minutes.
After we got off, we had our next set of FPs but both decided we didn't want go on it again because the line had only grown longer.
So we stood around for a few minutes, looking for a couple who would want to go on BTMRR. Just as I was about to give up, I spotted an older couple walking up the FP machines. I asked if they'd be interested in FPs, because didn't want to wait and had just gone on, and they were ADORABLE.
They were so happy about it and the man even patted me on the back, haha. It was too adorable, because
A. they were so thankful and
B. they were older and going on BTMRR and that just made me really happy.
I want to be them one day with Matt; still going to Disney World and still riding things like Big Thunder Mountain.
We headed off in search for some lunch and later witness one of the coolest/weirdest/creepiest things that very few people see in Disney World... (Mind you, I personally find this thing cool/creepy/weird, but you might not, haha).
