I just realized I never finished my princess trip report! So while I am sitting her bored waiting for Hurricane Irene to pass I decided what better to do than to finish my report.
So I left off with me finishing the race, stopping and talking with my WISH buddies, and hopping on the bus back to the resort.
It was only a quick ride back and we were one of the first stops. I slowly got up.
and exited the bus. We got back to the room and I jumped in the shower while my mom and aunt sat out at the courtyard tables. It really was a gorgeous day.
Now this may be TMI but I had read in the booklet they gave us in our goodie bag that you should lubricate your body in frequent friction spots. It listed examples such as inner arms, between your legs, and nipples.
I was like why the heck would I need to put that on my nipples. Well let me tell ya. I got into the shower and couldnt figure out why that area was burning so bad. I realized I had chaffing and when I looked at my sports bra there was blood.
That totally did not feel good and now I use my body glide not only between my legs but in that area as well.:
I finished up quickly and got dressed. I wore my I did it T and medal.
I grabbed a quick bite to eat at the food court. If I remember correctly I think I got a cheesesteak.
Meal of champions.
We headed to Magic Kingdom! I was starting to feel a bit tired on the bus ride over. Luckily I met another girl who just did the princess too. We had a nice conversation about the race and that kept me awake.
We had arrived to my favorite Disney Park.
I stopped to get some photopass pics of me with my medal but I was a bit disappointed with the pics. I have yet to find a good photopass photographer I see everyone else's great pics they get but mine always seem blah. IDK
We started in fantasy land and saw Mickeys Philharmagic. I just love this! My mom and Aunt both enjoyed it too. We did Its a Small world because that is just a cant miss attraction. Then we headed over to splash and BTMRR. I got us FP for BTMRR the return time was not until 310 so we had plenty of time to do other things. Like ride Splash Mountain.
After Splash we took a short break and had my very first Dole Whip.
We shared this while we caught some of the parade. I felt like most of our day was a bit rushed here because I wanted to show my Aunt all of the great attractions. I realized I didnt even take many photos. I think both the rushing and being completely exhausted had something to do with that.
After our snack we saw the HOP. I havent been in here since 1996. I think I fell asleep within the first few minutes as did my Aunt.
Quite honestly I dont think I have ever made it through the who show without falling asleep.
We then headed for a quick wake me up.....Space Mountain. This just is not a favorite of mine. I dont mind riding it but if they took it away I wouldnt be sad. My Aunt liked it and I was glad she at least got to experience it.
It was then time to use our FP so we headed back over to BTMRR.
My mom took a second to cool off on the way.
We got right onto BTMRR. Now this ride I just love. Such a classic.
Whew all this walking was making me tired....I think between the race and the walking I must have done a full marathon.
We walked over to adventure land and did HM and POTC. Of course we got stuck in the HM. After I returned I was reading a post that said if you say George out loud 3 times in the HM the ride stops. Well someone must have done that twice because once we got going it stopped again for another 10 min or so.
By this point it was getting close to our dinner ADR at Ohanas. So we headed out of the park and to the ferry boat. The boat was just about to leave but the driver saw us coming. My mom and aunt start running and they yell back to me...hurry up and run. Ummm hello my legs feel like rubber bands.
The driver noticed how I was walking and noticed my medal and said dont worry will wait take your time. He asked me my name and announced to the full boat that Lindsay completed the half marathon today. Everyone gave me a round of applause. It was very nice and a bit magical.
It was a nice ride across the lagoon. There was a cool breeze going and it just felt so nice. What a wonderful day!
We arrived at the Poly and had some time to spare. I really wanted to take some pics but instead I found a seat in the lobby and just sat there like a blob. I was beat. My mom and Aunt shopped in the store and soon enough they buzzed us to be seated.
We had a corner table with a nice view of the MK. Our waiter was very nice and the food came out really quickly. I did not take any pics at dinner and I wish I would have since it was my celebratory meal. The meal was so so good. I completely stuffed myself. The only complaint I have is it all came so fast. This is one meal I would have liked for the food to come out slow. We got to see the coconut races and it was so cute. At this point I was really missing my boys...and my dh too. I just couldnt wait to get home to see them.
After dinner we headed back over to MK. It was alot more crowded than when we left it.
We went on a few more rides. Carousel of Progress and Monsters Inc Laugh floor. Then we got a spot to watch Wishes. We stood right on the bridge into tomorrowland. It was perfect. I absolutely love the light show and pics they do before the fireworks. It was so amazing. I was tearing up just thinking about all the work I had put into getting to that point and that I finally accomplished what I had wanted to. I was so happy. The fireworks were wonderful as usual and it was a perfect way to finish our night.
We were all tired so we decided to just stroll through the shops and then head back. I bought the boys some stuff I cant remember what now its been to long. Then we hopped on the bus and headed "home".
ME was not picking us up until noon. We figured we would sleep in and pack in the morning and just enjoy our resort for a little.
