So I left off in the evening of our first day. I vaguely remember making it through dinner and then heading over to DL. Somewhere after walking through the gates I must have fallen asleep because I honestly do not remember doing anything else after eating.
Sleep dep had definitely caught up with me. Oh wait, yes I do! My DD convinced me to head over to DCA and go on Grizzly. Sucker that I am for her I agreed. First I went and got my flip flops - last thing I wanted was soaked tennies for the week.
So once those were secured we stashed our stuff in the locker and headed on with practically no wait. One of the benefits of it being so late and WOC gong on.
Needless to say we got soaked! I swear that ride is out to get me. So, after my one trip down I decided to leave DD and DGM to their own devices while I dried off and attempted to deal with returning our car rental since I did not want to deal with it in the morning. While I was off they went on it 3 more times.
Sadly I was able to find the rental office but could not figure out where I was supposed to leave the car. Not exactly a lot of signs to help me out and currently it was parked in the self-park for the Grand. Turns out this was right where it should have been left, but we don't find this out till tomorrow.
I could swear there was something else we did in the middle of all this but if so I cannot remember what it was.
I remember I tried getting to sleep at a respectable hour
but think it ended up being well after midnight. The plan was to hit up our first MM on Tuesday. What really happened is I cracked my eyes at whatever unforgivable hour the alarm went off, asked the others if they wanted to go without me, and I believe they kept sleeping as well.
Instead they got up a little after and wandered over to DL while I rested my eyes and then dealt with returning the car rental. After a quick phone call to the rental office I headed down there. The guy was wonderful and everything was quickly sorted out for me.
Now it was off to DL to meet the family. Thankfully it didn't take too many calls to reach them. They had been wandering over on Tom Sawyer's Island. Guess my DD didn't want to do too much without me thinking I would be sad.
So I found out they had not eaten so I met them at the ramp and we headed over to the River Belle. We found that 2 breakfasts shared between the 3 of us was perfect! Highly recommend this approach for the light to medium eaters out there. I also bring my own tea bags so makes getting a drink easy as well, just ask for cup off hot water, or like me bring your own.
**I would like to note now that I did not take as many pictures as I thought I had or as I normally do. For once I wanted to enjoy the park more, and well, I was tired. Though I do know I have more to add but they need to be rescued from my DDs camera. So I will edit and add as I can.**
Before we headed to breakfast I had ran over and got us FPs for Splash Mountain. My DD has been waiting to go on this since her first trip 2 years ago when the ride broke and she didn't get to ride it. Once we were done eating it was time to go use them so off we headed to Splash.
And this time even DGM was going to go on, and while she will do most thrill rides with my baby this was one she was not looking forward to!
The line was short and soon we were loaded on our log. Not long after it took off I had a feeling something was not right. The ride kept stopping and there was the log jam announcement. Gong up that first hill I was actually worried we would get stuck there but we finally crested the top...and then just before the first drop...it broke!! They announced that CMs would be around to assist us off the ride.
Let me tell you my DD was not happy and soon came the water works. Personally I thought it was cool to see some of the backside of the ride, but she was not nearly as impressed. We did get the special fast passes which we held all day trying to decide what to use them on. Eventually we decided on Matterhorn since it had no fast pass and always such a long line. Don't tell DGM, but I think the ride breaking was just fulfilling her secret wish of getting out of it!!
Cant wait to see your new pics and hear of your experience! You definitely have an eye for photography! 
so we will be working on my memory. This should be fun.
But, things did work out in the end.
Thankfully the navigator on the phone and some intuition saved us the extra trip.
While we were heading there we realized that now both of my DDs feet and ankles were killing her so when we got to the room I called for the house nurse. She was very sweet and had another bandage along with stuff for ice packs sent up. With those in place we hobbled off to Carnation Cafe.
DD had a hot dog kids meal even though she far from 9, the funny thing was they somehow had all our reservations listed as her being a kid even though they also had it marked it was her 13th birthday. 
DGM had the pot pie and she said it was really good, minus the crust, but she is an extremely picky eater so I am guessing the crust was wonderful as well. LOL
