It was a busy day and when you are paying extra money to be at a party you should try to stay as long as you can. That's why I highly recommend taking a nap during the day for both the parents and kids
Even though we had been planning this trip for two years I felt like we weren't following a specific game plan. It made for a less stressful trip on one hand but we did know there were absolutes we had to do.
When I had planned this trip I had originally planned a day at HS, the party day, and a day at AK. However, life happened and we had to cut a day back. I chose to cut AK. We hadn't been to HS in the longest because quite honestly it's my least favorite of the parks. We aren't big thrill ride people so I've never been on TOT or Rockin Rollercoaster. But I also have never been on other rides like Star Tours that I really have wanted to go on for years but have always had too young of children. I knew this would be my chance! This day we also had to return to DTD to test market some merchandise I can't discuss back at BBB and had to be there by 3 so that cut our day by a few hours.
We were a little late getting up and had breakfast at the resort. I had my hubby go get a breakfast combo from the food court. He's diabetic and needs to load up on food before we start doing a lot of walking. The kids and I had oatmeal and poptarts I purchased from Garden Grocer.
We didn't get to the park until after 9. I love that it's a short trip from CBR. My lovely Florida friend and fellow Diser Katy made Claire a beautiful tu tu and dressed Claire in it this day.
We were then off to something we have never ridden before, The Great Movie Ride.
Next we were debating what to do and Clarie was complaining of a stomach ache. We went to the bathrooms right by the Little Mermaid. I love that attraction. Claire didn't remember it because she was three last time she went.
We walked through the Muppets area and wanted to go on Toy Story but the return time was after 4 and I knew we would not make it back. We stlll have never been on this attraction. I took a picture of Claire in front of the fountain.
I don't know what it is but Clarie is still petrified of 3 D rides so we skipped Muppets and turned the corner to find Phinneas and Ferb.
God Bless these actors in the costumes. It was in the 90's. There was a chacter change over. I was expecting to wait but new ones came out.
It was down the streets of San Fransisco where they were beginning to hang the Osbourne lights. Still something I have never seen lit.
Next up: Star Tours, Beauty and the Beast, and Lunch at Sci Fi!
