We are heading down this morning - be there at the resort around lunch time. I took a peek at the live stream at about 6:10 and it was already looking very busy on Main Street! Our plan was to head to MK around midnight tonight, but I'm questioning if it's going to be so packed that they close down the entrance for a bit.

How are y'all holding up?!

I got to the TTC at 4:30 and got to MK by 5:40am. I've been taking it easy. Hit Haunted Mansion first, then Small World, Peter Pan, Buzz Lightyear Spin, People Mover, Carousel of Progress.

By then it was around 8:45 and I was STARVING, so I got a chocolate croissant at Gaston's Tavern (No Gaston to be seen though. Bummer because he is my favorite Disney hunk). Went on Little Mermaid, then I roamed around some more. Ended up in Adventureland and had a dole whip (I take back everything I said about hating this, it's really yummy), and now I'm gonna head off to pirates and jungle cruise. Not sure what to do after that!

I saw the line for mine train and it was 120 minutes when I walked by at 7am, and it was down to 45 when I walked by again around 8:20. 45 isn't too bad, but no thanks, I'll skip it.

Anna and Elsa were at 150 minutes when I walked past around 9:00. No thanks again. Sheesh!

We got here at opening and walked right on to the mine train! It was wonderful! It has been running nonstop all day. The last time I passed by the wait was 60 minutes. We have done almost everything! We got all the "major" rides done before 10:00 except Space Mountain, all with 5-10 minute waits. I guess we will have to stand in the forever line for Space because there are no more fast passes. We are also on our 6th fast pass of the day. I'm loving the new FP+ now that we can keep getting another after we have used them all. We are currently taking a break at Tomorrowland Terrace. Everybody hang in there only 13.5 hours to go!

Had a great and very productive morning, then hopped over to Animal Kingdom 10am-2pm. Just woke up from a nap at the hotel, gonna give DH another hour. Then either off to SSW for a bit or back to MK. How are the crowds?

I left around 4:45 because it was just TOO hot and I was getting cranky pants about it. I kept trying to hide from the sun but so was everyone else!

Everything I've done was walk on, but I rarely do headliners. I still have one FP left that I keep switching around. I'm focusing on things I never do because I don't have the time. I saw country near jamboree for the first time! It was weird/cute. And I actually watched a parade for once.

When I go back tonight I'll probably hit my 2 or 3 fav rides again and then focus on characters. It was TOO HOT for photos this afternoon so I came back to the hotel so I could get beautiful for character photos later lol.
