Day 2 continued: March 14, 2010
We left off heading to Pinochios for supper. We were nervous walking there because when we tried to eat there in June, it was packed! I mean, there were people sitting along the walls with their trays on their laps, eating! But, we were lucky and had no problems. There were plenty of tables open. We decided that since it was nice, we wanted to eat outside. When we were ordering, the CM made a big deal about our Just Engaged buttons. It was fun getting such nice attention.
So after we ordered, Fiancé got our tray for us while I sat down at our table. We both had the Mediterranean salad, which was made of mixed greens, chicken, and mozzarella cheese. For dessert, I had the cheesecake and Fiancé had the yogurt. We also noticed a little surprise when Fiancé sat down the tray at our table. We were given a free thing of fries! All because of our little buttons! How neat.
My view:
His view:
Our view of Fantasyland:
It was still hard for us to believe that we were there!
After we were done eating, we headed over to PhilharMagic since we were right there. The wait time only said 10 minutes, which isnt that what it always says?
The only thing I dislike about this attraction is how they pack everyone in like sardines in the waiting area until the doors open. And when the doors open, everyone is pushing and shoving to get in! Well, we tried our best to stay together. It was definitely a lot easier to do with only 2 people instead of 5! By the time we made it into the theater, the back rows were almost all the way full! The CM was telling people to start coming to the front. Fiancé and I were the only ones who listened. There were at least 3 or 4 rows almost all the way empty! We went into the 3rd row and had no one follow us! So our row only had us and one or two other families in it! We were afraid that being too close would ruin the show, but it only made the show better! We were surprised and loved it!
After the show was over and we had returned our opera glasses, we decided to walk through the Castle. Now that we have been to CRT, I love the windows:
Whenever we walk through the Castle, I always have to run my hands along the mosaics:
Once we make it to the front of the Castle, we always stop and look down Main Street. Then, we turn around and look up at where Tink comes out.
I read in my hidden secrets book on WDW that I got from Sis for my birthday something about the Disney coat of arms or something being on the front and back of the Castle. Found it!:
After we were done with the Castle, it was time to head to Adventureland:
We looked in the Adventureland shop that has all the Roxy and Billabong stuff. We didnt see anything that we really liked, so we were in and out of there quickly. We decided to go do the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse:
This always has great views:
After we made it back down to Adventureland, we headed to the Main Street shops. We saw a lady taking photopass pics not too far from the Crystal Palace, so we decided to take one. It was a different angle than our traditional pics down Main Street. (Youll have to wait to see what we buy!)
In the shops, I found a shirt that I fell in love with. It would be perfect for our July trip when we eat at the Luau or Ohana. I decided to wait to buy it in case I found another shirt I liked better. I also found the Dooney and Bourke purses and texted Heather the price of my exact purse
$190! We also found some photo albums that we liked, so we kept those in mind as well.
We were done with the shops quickly. It was packed in there! We thought it was worse than when we are there in the summer even!
We walked back through the Castle and got in line for Snow White, which said it was a 20 minute wait, but only ended up being a 10 minute wait! This is where I got sad that Mom, Dad, and Sis werent with us. During the scene where the dwarfs are playing music and everyone is dancing, Dad always claps along with them. I had to text them when we got off the ride to tell them that I missed them!
After SW, we realized that we could get fast passes again, so we headed to Peter Pan and got FPs for 11:30 pm 12:30 am. We were getting tired, so we decided that PP would be our last ride of the night.
With FPs in hand, we went across the way to IASW, which was a 25 minute wait. While in line, there was a mom, dad, and little girl in front of us. The girl kept waving at us and wed wave back. Then, she turned around and just wrapped herself around Fiancés leg! We were laughing and talking to her, but her mom kept saying Honey! Thats not your dad! She knew he wasnt her dad, but she didnt care. We told her we didnt mind and that we had a 3 year old cousin back home. She was giggling and laughing the whole time. Then, she started playing peek-a-boo and would lean in-between Fiancés legs. It was hilarious. They ended up sitting in the row in front of us on the ride. She would peek over at us to make sure we were still there and would giggle. So cute.
