Hi I don't comment much but just wanted to let you know I've followed along on your trip reports for years and always enjoy reading them! Thanks for bringing extra Disney cheer into my everyday life!

hi!! thanks for reading and for commenting! I'm so glad you enjoy them Always makes my day when I hear that - glad it can bring some fun to folks besides just myself

10 minutes later (a little before 3:30) I was back in the room: nap time! We rested for about 90 minutes, before getting up and heading to the 5:30 concert. Those midday breaks are the best - Trevor was always on board; I was a bit skeptical but now after several trips, I'm a convert. So worth it!

I love a midday break so much!

Kind of a long line, but not horrible - not like it's been in the past. This picture was taken at 5:15, and then next picture I have is with Trevor back in the theatre at 5:23, so only 5 min or so. Not bad! What'd we get?

Mozzarella thing.

Hah! That doesn't look terrible. I tend to skip the Italy booth (as most people do!)

Then, since we were right there, we decided to get the picture where they have the lightstick behind you. The line didn't look super long - maybe 5 people in front of us? But we ended up waiting 33 MINUTES. They took 10 minutes with this first family, and then were swapping out CMs, and then took 5 minutes each with the next few groups (lots of taking the picture, then showing the family and everyone oohing and aahing, and then getting set up again for shot number two...), and then finally realizing that "huh this is maybe taking too long" and starting to rush people through. We were done in about a minute, which was nice but also kind of aggravating when we'd just been watching them take so long and do SO MANY shots with the groups before us. Blargh. I think I was just grouchy.

Those pics are so cool. I totally missed that in January but I'll be looking for it next year!

And what song did we get? Everybody Wants to Rule the World!! YAY!!!!!

My LEAST favorite! LOL! I feel like this song makes the ride feel slower!

This was also another one you get for the look. I actually love bubblegum but man this was not good - it tipped over into pepto bismol taste. But it was super cute. Trevor ended up liking this, cause he's weird. He said it reminded him of amoxicillin when he was a kid.

Um, yum?

As we rode that one, Trevor hit his head when he raised it up at the wrong time, and got a bit of a cut on his head.

Ouch! I always say that's my dream Disney job...handing out bandaids at a water park. What a lovely Nursing job that would be

Also I have to share: I have several claw clips for my hair (including one that looks like Sleeping Beauty's crown) but I don't wear them super often 'cause my hair falls out of it. BUT! I found a youtube tutorial on how to use it that claimed your hair wouldn't come out, and I tried it and by golly it works! I had my hair in that clip all day (well, not while we were in the water, but at Epcot) and my hair stayed put! Yay!

Perfect! My hair always looks a crazy mess with the claw clips. I'll have to search for some videos.

Three rides on Rise - we were riding high!

It was a 4 minute wait to meet Bert and the penguin:

Cute!

Looks like such a fun night!

We were there the same time but so far our park itineraries haven't crossed. Looking forward to your Thursday adventures!
