Ok.. so I was wrong.. before Jophia split we all went over to Splash mountain, and that is when John took Jack over to Peter Pan! Btw- this was another first for Kayla and I! Can't believe I forgot that! It was an awesome ride! I def see what all the fuss is about!
After that, Jophia left! Kayla and I snatched up fast passes for Splash mountain so we could ride again later!
On our agenda first was to head over to Aloha Aisle and get some snacks! What you ask..do you even have to ask?? That's right, a Dole Whip Float! and Kayla had a big hunk of pineapple!
On our way we saw an empty character line and decided to jump in while we had this rare opportunity!
Hello rafiki!
I love meeting hm! Always fun and full of life!
After meeting Rafiki and getting some snacks , we decided to head over to PoTC and get Kayla her hair wrap! That is ALL she wanted this whole trip. Unfortunately the CSR pool did not have a hair wrap station like ASMU did, so we couldn't ft this in earlier in the trip. When we got there, there were about 5 people ahead of us, which I wasn't expecting for some reason. I signed us up and was waiting when the girl said I could come back in x amount of time and Kayla's turn should be ready... well, what to do what to do... AHA... ride Potc of course!! Walk on!
This is the only pic I got lol
After the ride we looked around a bit....then went back to just wait it out..well what do you know, they were ready for her..20 m ins after I signed up..not the 90 that she said! I'll take it!
In case anyone is curious, this cost $28.00. It included three beads too. I think it is like $2.00 per each inch of hair? The the beads cost different amounts. I woulda paid $50.00. I didn't care. Kayla absolutely LOVES this! Shes already got next years design picked out! lol
Sometimes I let Kayla take a picture..
earlier in the day we had passed the market place where Aladdin is and were told they would be out later. We decided to head over there now and see if the line was short enough to meet them... It wasn't very short..but I really wanted a pic with Jasmine and Aladdin..I was bummed Jack wasn't with us ;/ This was a HOT line..no shade there for a while..and the mom behind me was MISERABLE! I felt bad for her kids! Finally it was out turn! They loved kayla and were super impressed at t he costumes and carpet she told them about!! They were a great pair!
After this we decided to head back over to splash mountain and use up our fast passes! Again, we loved it! Then we thought we would ride BTMR..All Kayla wanted to do the whole trip was ride this, and I just never wanted to waste the time..it's pain to wait in a line like that when Jack can't ride. Next year he should be able to though
Stand by time said 20 mins..not bad and we were alone, so let's go for it..I walk up and the CM says, sorry the line is about 75 mins at this point.uhm..no it;s not, it says 20 right there... Sorry, we knowthat is wrong, something is down..blah bah blah.. BUMMER
Kayla was so sad!
Then I get a tap on my shoulder and a man says, excuse me Ma'am, I have 2 extra fast passes if you would like them! UHM, heck yes! Thank you Mr.Man! He saved the day! Talk about some pixie dust! Kayla was thrilled and thanked him a million times! So we got to ride her fav ride after all!
After that we decided to head over to Fantasyland to see if we could meet Ariel! We hadn't met her since 2005 and I really wanted a new pic with her! The line was pretty long, but mostly shaded, and there is that little play area for the kids.
I let Kayla play out there while I waited in line for Ariel to return. The line was kind of long, but the people were friendly! Until, the lady behind me started going off on her mom about how she would NEVER take HER kid out of school just for
Disney World...and then gave me a glare..her mom told her she was a dumb butt and missing a couple days of school is hardly anything to worry about, especially when September is such a great time to go! I was a good girl and said nada! Kayla's trip was fully approved by her school , as are many kids trips, so Idk why the lady felt the need to push HER issue on others..weird.
Anywho, finally it was our turn to meet Ariel, and she did NOT disappoint like the one we had met at Akershu's!
I even have some photo pass pics now!
Once we finished up with Ariel it was time to start making our way to the front of the park to meet John and Jack for john's birthday dinner!
*Next Up- The most frustrating ADR to date! and another Surprise!
..... I know
BUT, I agree, def a fantastic ride! BTW, I know how I skipped it, Kayla wasn't tall enough in 2005 and that was a time crunch trip, so we skipped the long may line. Last year when we got a chance it was too chilly to even fathom getting wet..of course i didn't realize you barely get wet if you sit in the back
but now I know, and we LOVE it! Hopefully Jack will be tall enough next year!
I at least knew what to expect this year lol
I'm sooo looking forward to it!!!
