We really enjoyed the Coco touches as well. It’s such a great movie, I love seeing it represented in the parks!You had such a great day in Epcot! Love the Coco touches in Mexico. Glad your DH talked you into hopping into MK. Who could resist since you were RIGHT THERE Such cute pictures of your DD with Mickey. A tiring but fabulous day!
Yes, we were! It was because we had already been in Epcot for the day, I’m assuming.Really enjoying your report! Am I reading right that you were able to join the 1 pm VQ for Guardians from outside the park? If so that's pretty nice!
That whole week we were staying at BLT together, if the TV was on it was almost always Bluey!All caught up! Those Bluey shirts were perfect! We're a Bluey-loving-fam as well
Can't wait to read more!
That's always brutal. Nothing worse than a line that doesn't move.It probably wasn’t THAT long in actuality, but since we were just standing there not moving, it felt like a long time.
I really like the lights on Spaceship Earth. I didn't at first because I used to love the way it just glowed and reflected light, but it really has grown on me.As we exited the ride, we got to see the beautiful light show on Spaceship Earth happening. I had forgotten about this being a thing, so it was a nice surprise.
I can't argue with this logic at all. I'd do the same thing.As we were coming down the ramp into the MK forecourt, it was right at 8:15 pm and we could hear Enchantment starting. DH looked at me and said, “Come on, we’re RIGHT HERE!” So we tapped in and stopped at the end of Main Street to watch on a whim! It was not a good view at all, but it was still fun to see!
I mean you hate to turn down a rarely short line!We were all pretty tired, so we kept saying, “We are leaving right after this is over!” Buuuuuuttttttt…then we spotted the 5 minute wait right there for Mickey Mouse at Town Square Theater! So as soon as the last firework went off, we ran over to get in line!
I don't blame him! I'd like to have a ride whenever I can!We started making the walk back to BLT, and DD was walking so DS decided to catch a ride in the stroller for a few minutes.
Yeah, despite such a busy, tiring day, its great that you were able to get back at such a reasonable time!Although we were tired, it wasn’t super late so that gave us time to do a load of laundry before bed, which is so nice to be able to do! We finally got to bed around 10, which after a long and full day felt like a really reasonable bedtime!
I call him both.(And don’t come for me, we still call him Baby Yoda because it’s cuter than Grogu!)
And even after a "not crazy late" night, that wake up had to feel like it came way too soon.We were out of the room at 6:45 am to head to DHS, and we got on the bus at 7 am.
DHS is just so tough...Heading into this trip, we had watched a lot of Touring Plans park strategy videos on YouTube, and I was stressing the most about this day because there were so many things we wanted to accomplish, and all of those things would have really long lines all day long.
That's brutal. I would be pretty much having an anxiety attack in that situation.Unfortunately, ToT was not working right away. We stuck it out in the line, hoping it would come up, but it never did and we ended up spending the whole 30 minute early entry waiting in the boiler room part of the queue.
I'm glad he was willing to at least give it a shot!DS said it wasn’t as bad as he thought, he didn’t like how it rattled his head around, he didn’t want to ride it again, BUT…he was glad we made him do it! I guess that’s a pretty good turnout for him, and we told him how proud we were of him for giving it a try.
I mean that launch is a bit intense. Especially for someone her size! But while her face looks concerned you can still see that spark in her eye!DD still looks a little hesitant, but less serious this time and she wanted us all to do her signature peace sign.
The weather this trip was a bit all over but we really enjoyed it. Even when it was warm, it wasn't stifling & uncomfortable!A good start to your day! How nice to be in shorts in January. Well, rope dropping ToT didn't work out so well. That would be super disappointing especially since you had a lot you wanted to do that day. Don't blame your DD for being a bit tired and grumpy. Disney is hard work - fun work but tiring! She looks happy in the pictures so guess she perked up. Good job on your DS's YouTube episode! I bet the droid build was really fun for him. Assume that will be in the next chapter! You seem to have mastered traveling as a group - I need to take lessons before attempting it again..
Yes, it was a bit frustrating that we felt like we couldn't really get the day started. But, it made us even more thankful for that super productive afternoon on our first park day because it took some of the pressure off for this day.Oh man, DHS was off to a rough start! No ToT, no RnR or RotR, and then the mishap with Runaway Railway's pre-show, too! Ooooof! Glad you made the best of it though - needing to totally scrap your touring strategy & having to make a new plan from scratch is the worst!
Also DD & DS' faces in the RnR photo - classic!!
Change is hard for Disney fans, isn't it?! I'd say MOST of the time, they get it right when it comes to entertainment. But I get it!!I really like the lights on Spaceship Earth. I didn't at first because I used to love the way it just glowed and reflected light, but it really has grown on me.
I had to hand it to DH, it was a good call. It ended up being one of our most memorable nights.I can't argue with this logic at all. I'd do the same thing.
And as for the view... we've watched fireworks around those trees in Town Square many times.
SAME!I don't blame him! I'd like to have a ride whenever I can!
It sure did. No sleep in Disney.And even after a "not crazy late" night, that wake up had to feel like it came way too soon.
It really is!! Too many headliners!!DHS is just so tough...
I was so proud of him for trying it, and made sure to tell him so to keep his confidence up.I'm glad he was willing to at least give it a shot!
Yes, she was definitely HOOKED on the adrenaline rush!! Now she can't wait till she is tall enough for the Incredible Hulk Coaster!I mean that launch is a bit intense. Especially for someone her size! But while her face looks concerned you can still see that spark in her eye!
The clear backpack was an idea I got from other trip reports and it was not only cheap, but it made it more fun for DS since his droid could interact with different elements when walking through Galaxy's Edge.What a fun experience for your DS to build his own droid! I watched his video. It wonder if it would be a good idea to let builders try out the different types before they decide on the style they want? Just a thought. The clear backpack is a great way to carry it and show it off at the same time. Your DD is so brave to ride RnRC - it's pretty intense! Great family photos in front of the Chinese theater! You got a lot accomplished in your time at HS - a rest was definitely in order to make it through your late night at MK.
Yes indeed! We always have a blast at Hoop Dee Doo.The Hoop-Dee-Doo is always a good time! We haven't done it in a long time. Even more fun to do it with a group. And a boat view of the fireworks - bonus! We took the family to DW in 2022. All my 3 yo grandson talks about is seeing fireworks from the ferry. The cheapest entertainment at DW Hope you had a good evening in MK!
