Rehab Schedule... Wheww

[Terk-1]

Was just going through the rehab schedule and most of the ride rehabs will be done before I get there. Wheww!! I would be very upset if I had to miss the Lion King show & BTMRR.

I finally broke it to my daughter that BTMRR would be closed when we are there in a couple of weeks. It was the only ride she has talked about. Not into the Princesses or characters or anything. Just wanted to ride that "train on the mountain". Last time we went she wasn't tall enough. It went pretty well. There was a little pouty lip, a glisten in the corner of the eye, a little sniffle......oh wait, that was me!! No she took it very well and like the true daughter of a Disneyphile just said, "well Mom, that just means we'll have to go again!"

My dd actually cried when she found out the BTMRR wouldn't be open during our visit. She was tall enough but too scared to ride last year and had announced that she was going to ride it this time. (It was one of our last rides at the end of our trip last year, so I think it made an impact that she didn't go on it with us.)

Thanks.

You're braver than me km39497! My DD5 has been telling anyone who will listen that she is going on the "ride that goes up and down" when she goes to Disney in October. She's talking about ToT - which (I found out last week) is closed Oct 13-18. (We will be there Oct 14-19.) We leave late morning on the 19th - so I'm guessing we might just be first in line on that morning before we leave! I just can't bring myself to tell her we might miss it!
