After our amazing first hour it was time to regroup and start our first day of touring in the parks. We grabbed our stroller and headed down Main Street to our first destination-DUMBO. My Ava is very petite and is only 36 inches tall. We had been talking to her for a long time that she was going to be too short to ride several rides. Her response? "But I'm big for Dumbo!" She looks tired, but happy on our first ride.
Here is Stu and Erin flying high.
On the way to our next stop I realized I left my bag on Dumbo. I think I had a heart attack for a minute. I ran back to Dumbo and thankfully my bag was sitting at the podium. WHEW! We made our way to Peter Pan to find out it was down for the day. We made our way back to Pooh and walked right on.
After Pooh Erin was excited to hear that we were
finally going to ride the Tea Cups.
The girls really enjoyed themselves on this one.
Next up was the Carrousel.
Next up was PhilharMagic. The show started and probably two minutes in it went down. They told us to hold tight while they fixed the problem. Well, after about 10 minutes they told us we needed to exit. They gave all of us a FP that was good for any ride and didn't expire until 10/31.
Next up was it's a small world. I thought Ava was really getting into this one because she was so quiet, but come to find out she had fallen asleep! When we got to the end of the ride there was nobody waiting. Ava woke up on the way to ride The Haunted Mansion and was CRABBY. We walked over to Big Thunder for FP's and then grabbed some lunch at Pecos Bills while we waited. We all had cheeseburgers and they were OK. I like the fixings bar they had and the cheese to dip your fries in.
After lunch we went back to Big Thunder. Erin and I went on it first and she loved it. When we got back to the stroller this is what we found. She was OUT.
I sat right by the entrance while we waited Stu and Erin to ride. It was kind of fun to listen what goes on at the FP entrance. SO many people just did not understand how the FP system works. One guy asked how much it cost. Another family tried to just walk in and the CM told them it was they would need a FP for that line, so they walked over to the machines and got them. They came right back to the line and they thought now that they had a FP they could go right in. They were pretty angry to find out that they needed to wait for about 40 minutes for their time slot. It kept me entertained anyway. Here is a crowd picture during my wait.
After Big Thunder we went to get FPs for the Jungle Cruise and then went on The Magic Carpets. We woke Ava for this one and she was not happy. In this picture she is asking to be picked up.
When I said no this is the response I got.
During the ride Erin had us up high most of the time and then she suddenly shot us down. Stu caught my response perfectly!
Next we took our Jungle Cruise and then walked right on Pirates. I can't believe how little we waited today. Stu and Erin decided they wanted to walk through the Treehouse before we headed to the parade.
So far we have had a pretty productive day and it is only 2:00!
Up next: The parade and dinner at Chef Mickey's
