When I left off we were all spinning wildly on the teacups. Thanks to the magic of photo editing I can share that dizzy slightly sick feeling with all of you.
If you're going to spew, spew into this.
We left the teacups and meandered towards BTMRR. Along the way we stopped for a chronologically inaccurate Cinderalla's life photoshoot. We started with the castle.
Mom let me use one of her edited pics for the first in that group. Note how much better it is than the normal stuff I am pulling.
After that we headed up to Cinderella's wishing well.
Theyre staring pretty intently for something thats only 6 inches deep and has nothing in it.
We ended our tour of her life at Cinderella's Fountain. I took pics of the crown above and on her head, but can't seem to find the card with them on it. I'm sure you all know the drill.
After the fountain we rode IaSW. I'm sure you'd all like me to post the video loop from that ride, but I'll refrain. . The last time we rode Small World we were sans children so it was ideal Wikipedia browsing time. (I was trying to figure out how often they cleaned the coins out of the ride and what the $value of the coins is on an annual basis. If you have more details on the coins, let me know. I couldnt find a regular cleaning interval, but the coins do go to Disneys charity. You can find more information about coins and Disney at your local library). This time we were there with the kids so I got to enjoy the whole thing through their eyes. We all had fun looking for hidden Mickey, and I tracked our nearest exits in case of an emergency.
We survived Small World unscathed and headed to BTMRR. (Will we ever make it to this ride?)
Yes, Finally we were there. We used our first set of FP's and rode it as a family. Sis needed a little encouragement but in the end we all loved* it.
*some of us may have loved it more than others.
In order to minimize long term mental scarring, Mom and I opted to take turns riding with Bro in order to use our remaining FP's.
The Pooks were too small so they had to stay and watch.
While I was waiting with Sis and trying to get pics of Mom and Bro on BTM a videographer was there filming a Spanish tv show. We were both trying to shoot from the same spot, but Mom and Bro's train came first. I took the shot and then stepped out of the way for the videographer. It could have been fun talking with him, but "Donde esta el bano" is the extent of the spanish I remember from high school and I didn't think that would lead to a good conversation. If only Mom and Bro had been on a train a couple minutes later. They could have been Spanish celebrities like
.. I got nothing.
FP's used we headed over to Space Ranger Spin. At some point earlier in the day I had grabbed FP's for it. I was pretty darn excited for this ride, we've ridden it before and I've never done very well. This time I had a secret weapon. I had watched the
youtube videos and memorized the locations of the 100k targets. I was ready. I was going to be a galactic hero. I'd win the button and defend my family's honor. I was being humored by my family who thought I was taking it way to seriously.
We boarded the ride, we concentrated, we aimed, we defended the Galaxy.
We ... didn't get the magical 999,999. Despite my best efforts I only scored 571,000. Oh well better luck next... what? What did you say mom? You got a perfect score?
How'd I do? Oh I did great. mumble mumble mumble. This is a stupid ride. Yeah I'll take your picture with your Galactic Hero button.
We left the silly game ride and went over to TTA. Sis and I love that ride.
The Pooks enjoyed it too.
After we arrived back in Tomorrowland from the ride that never stops, we had to leave the park to go to Minute Clinic. Bro had been having earaches and since failed to convince him that life is PAIN, anyone who says differently is selling something, we took him to get checked out. We didn't want his head to explode or something while we were out at sea. I don't have any pictures of the Orlando Minute clinic but it was magical. We left and headed back to the resort to the swim. (Yes, I know filling your kids ears with dirty pool water isn't the first thing that springs to mind when you hear earache but the nurse assured us it was okay.)
Coming up next pool pics, more rides, dirty pool water causes bro's head to explode* and finally wishes pics
*head exploding did not actually happen, in fact Bro had no more head/ear issues after that.
What a ripoff! You should have shown up at 7 and demanded to be fed!
