At this point we decided to go to Adventureland and on the way by the castle we seen Fairy Godmother with a short line!
In Adventureland, our 1st stop was for a snack! You know where... Aloha Isle! I had to try the oh so famous Dole Whip... and yes I loved it. So did DD, the boys however were not that impressed LOL. Guess it's a girl thing?
After our snack stop, we got FPs for Jungle Cruise & the kids played for a minute.
It was getting close to our lunch ADR time so we walked back toward the center hub and caught the end of the Move it! Shake it! Celebrate it! Street Party! DS was in awe of seeing Woody out there but was too shy to run out. It was fun for the kids to watch, I'm glad we were able to see some of it.
Now it was right at 1pm and our ADR at Crystal Palace was for 1:05pm so we went over and checked in! Good thing we were close by! We waited about 15 minutes for our table.
The hostess noted that it was our anniversary (the next day was actually) and said they would do a little something special. They never did, but we weren't bothered by it. Our waitress was running around like crazy and super busy so she probably didn't even have time to read any special notes!
When we got seated, we seen that Eeyore was close by so we stayed seated to wait for him before we got up to fix our plates. Eeyore is my favorite, so I really enjoyed this!
We went and got our plates then. The lunch food was just OK to me, I just sampled a little of everything and so did everyone else.
Piglet and Tigger came next! DS loved Tigger!
Dessert time! Now these were good! It was the one part of the meal that I was impressed with, Yummy!
We had to sit around and wait for a little bit but finally, Pooh came around!
We left Crystal Palace and it was time for our FPs on the Jungle Cruise. I've heard that it's the CM who makes this ride good and I believe that's true, we got a good one, he was funny and the ride was great!
We seen the Magic Carpet ride and got on that next. I think it was about a 20 min wait. Lots of fun!
DD wanted to go through the Swiss family treehouse, so we did that quickly before going back to check on Rapunzel.
We walked back over to see if we could get in line for Rapunzel and the line was much worse. It was about 3:30p and we tried to get in line but the CM told us the line wait was at least 2 hours and it would be closed by then anyway, so she was cutting off the line. Bummer. It just wasn't mean to be.
We were all hot and tired and decided we needed a break, so out we went! With one more look at the castle...
UP NEXT: What do you mean you missed our exit? AND, our night at HS!
