When we got to Pirates, we noticed that it was basically a walk-on so we decided to jump on.
Again, we thought it was a great ride, but still loved Disneyland's much better. This one just feels really rushed compared to DL's.
I found this in a cart not far from the ride:
I kinda wish I woulda picked him up, but I sadly passed him up. Sigh.
Next we took a ride on Splash Mountain. They had just opened it up after having it closed for some issues, so it was basically a walk-on.
Not quite sure what the people in front of us are doing, lol.
And then there was still no line, so they let us go around again. I kinda wish we woulda moved up a few rows though, as this was kind of awkward:
I really enjoyed this version of Splash better than DL's. Not sure if it was the fact the seats we more comfortable and you get to sit beside your person instead of one behind the other, or what. The rest of the ride seemed the same, so that must have been it.
After Splash, we headed over to another near walk-on for Haunted Mansion:
Next we decided to head over to Fantasyland, and quickly found where all the people were hiding. Peter Pan looked like it was only a 5 minute wait, but the line was very deceiving. We turned the corner behind a wall to find that the line wasn't so short after all. I think we waited about 30 minutes.
Peter Pan ended up being the only ride we did here, as it just seemed so crowded in this area. We made our way over to Tomorrowland where we took a ride on Buzz.
I really didn't like this version of the Buzz ride. The targets didn't light up when you hit them like in DL, and the guns also didn't buzz. I just found it really hard to hit targets both times that we went on. The first time I thought it might have just been my particular gun, but it was just as difficult the second time.
After Buzz, we headed to see my favourite blue alien in action.
I can see what people mean about the restraints hurting the shoulders a bit, but other than that, the ride isn't THAT bad. Also we would just make sure to sit really tall until the restraints came down, and then just slouch a bit when they were done. Then it was fine.
Our feet were getting pretty sore by the time Stitch was done, so we decided to take a ride on the people mover to relax. We loved this ride for this aspect. We loved the slow motion and the cool breeze. And it's also fun to see Tomorrowland from a different view.
After People Mover we decided that we were just too tired to keep going, so we headed towards Mainstreet to check out the other side and make our way to the exit.
I really loved some of the shops on this side. Especially the glass blowing one. Also really wish I would have picked up something from there, but I was too afraid of getting something that might break on the flight back home.
It was a little after midnight when we started heading back to our hotel. We had one more long day ahead of us, and with MK being open even later the next night, we knew this would be our last night for a decent sleep.

My dd was never great with people around and being the center of attention but I discovered it always went much better when it was on her own turf. The groups just didn't bug her as much when she was in her familiar surroundings of home. 
Seeing everyone fancy deserts makes me very envious. I think right now it may be that it's almost lunch time too and I am obviously ready for it. haha
I know I had never even met the guy, but I idolized him so much that I was just as heart broken as if I had. Also, it didn't help that the last 15 years of his life were such horrible ones. And he died before he was able to make his comeback. So sad.
We left Seth at home with Gramma and went on Wednesday and came back Thursday night. She brought him home this morning around 11, and then Dillon's Dad came and got him and took him on a train ride for the day, so we haven't seen him all day. He brought him home just in time for bed. And he is currently giggling at something in his crib instead of sleeping. 
It's hard to get mad when he's laughing uncontrollably. 
Looks like i didn't get any photos of the results, but we both did decent drawings. I wanted to go again, but the line up for the next round was really long. 
Silly me.
