Day 6 cont. Sun 3/14
We arrive at the MK and it looks like rain. Those clouds were getting awfully dark. I had packed poncho's, but I really was hoping to catch Spectro so I was alittle worried. We had a PS at LTT. From the time we went through the gate we had 40 minutes to get there. I tell DH-- that I'm gonna go ahead w/ DS and grab FP's for BTMR and meet him and MIL at LTT. DS and I make it to BTMR and back to LTT before them (no FP's either-- they were gone already as were the one's for SPlash). Anyhow, I'm getting made it's 5 more minutes to check in-- where could they be. Finally, right on the dot, they come strolling/riding up. They stopped to smoke. AND MIL was soooo tired, she couldn't get moving. Did I hear her correct?? She's riding an ECV (I didn't know they got tired). Anyhow, we enter the waiting area and there are no empty seats to wait. MIL just can't stand (she's whinning). She goes to a bench where 2 kids/ toddlers are kind of playing. She asks them to move. I think she actually scared them away!! She proceeds to fall asleep-- mouth open and all!!
DS and I take a seat all the way across the room when one opens up. We have to wait about 25 minutes (which is making me nervous because I wanted to be able to sit for the 1st Spectro).
Our server's name was Tiffany (I think)--- she was great. A real breath of fresh air!! The character interaction was the best at a meal we had this trip. The food incredible. I always enjoy this place, but this time it was my absoulte favorite. MIL actually didn't say much, but I know she didn't care for the salad, I tuned her out. I do know I was getting really anxious, because once again I needed to get those seats for Spectro-- we were all done, but her!!! Then she announces she's going to the bathroom (see earlier note about 15 minute ordeal-- add to that the fact she has to actually go upstairs).
FINALLY--- she's done. I ask DH to take his mom and go look for a seat for Spectro. I'll get the bill (because of course-- she's gonna catch us later on that one!!) Anyhow, she says something about smoking first. NO-- There's no Time. It's already 7pm-- and Spectro is at 8pm. Well, it was already too late. All the sitting spots on Main St. were gone. We decide to wait for the 10pm one, and see if the ride lines have thinned out any. It does look like 1/2 the park is waiting to see Spectro. We go get in line for BTMR. MIL is gonna go do whatever, we set a meeting place. The wait says 40 minutes but we timed it and it was only 20. I really wanted to do this again. DH didn't want to leave his mom alone too long. So we decided to start looking for a spot for Wishes. The tough part was finding an "exit route" through the Spectro crowd. It hadn't made it's way to Frontierland yet, but the crowds were there. Anyhow, we made our way towards POC. MIL stopped at some glass souvineer cart. Proceeded to look at each and EVERY item there!! I don't like to wait for 30 minues for someone to look at things they are never gonna buy (alittle impatient I know-- but we had a plan) As we are going by Jungle Cruise we see there is no line-- not 1 single person. We decide to ride this, a first at night for us. Our skipper was hysterical, and she made me laugh. Something I haven't done much this trip.
We get our spot for wishes, I get teary eyed. DS & I were alittle bit aways from MIL and DH so I don't know what they thought. We then found our spot for Spectro. MIL and DH are gonna go smoke and leave the EVC behind to hold their spots. DS and I people watch while they are gone. I actually was sitting there just truly enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells of WDW. I LOVE this place! Every trip until now, I have truly found magic here. I started to get ailttle teary eyed. It hasn't been a great week. My feelings were really hurt by DH. I was looking at all the happy faces-- jealous. I see these people arguing or unhappy in Disney every trip-- I wonder how they can be like that at the happiest place on earth. Now, I know!!
Anyhow, I had bought DS cotton candy earlier and pulled it out for him now. I know MIL made a comment about sharing w/ him. He gobbled it down so fast (I thought he was gonna get sick) just so she wouldn't get any. (Alittle mean spirited I know).
Spectromagic was great!! I really loved it, I do wish it was alittle longer though. The only other thing I don't get, how do the 3 pigs fit into Disney?? Are they classic Disney??
Afterwards MIL was more than ready to leave, and wasn't happy when she heard we weren't. The plans called for a last spin on Buzz. DH and I compete on this ride every trip. We hadn't rode it together yet this time. So him and his mom took one car, me and DS the other. Watching her on that people mover is hysterical. I wish I could of gotten video of it. Anyhow-- I won my score was somewhere in the range of 140,000.
We started making our way out. DS and I purposely walked on the opposite side of the street from DH and MIL. The more distance between us the better. I didn't even want to hear her voice. Once again the tears started welling up. Knowing this was the last walk down Main St. this trip. Also, having DH tell me, he's done w/ Disney for awhile. The fighting killed the magic for him. You see, I get another trip, but it's w/ DS and I-- not him too. So I'm alittle sad, that my most recent memories of MK will be the one's I got this trip.
I was really lagging getting to the car--- I was tired so was DS. We were just walking hand-in-hand taking it all in. MIL was making her comments about us slowing down. I know they are supposed to be meant for all the looks she gets for stopping throughout the day. Only difference is-- we just walked 5 miles and it's 11pm!! You've rode 5 miles and took naps in restuarants!!!
Tomorrow is the last park day......
