Well, we are calling it quits folks.
I think we made the most of it, but I was a bit disappointed in tonight. On the positive side, the parade was as awesome as ever and we had a great spot, DS loved it! The crowd control also seemed very good, lots of checking of bands and generally it didn't seem over crowded.
I was just disappointed we didn't get to do much. The only characters we wanted to see were a no-go for the first hour and a half, so we got in line to meet Captain Jack after the parade. We waited 30 minutes, were 2 families from the front, and he took a 15 minute break! At that point we were wet and DS was so tired, we decided to head out. I was kind of sad I missed the show too, it looked SO good on YouTube!
So not anyone's fault really, just bad luck. The problem was DS being so young, we'd pinned all hopes of getting things done in the first hour or so, and when that didn't happen with the rain, we ran out of time. I think we might wait a year or two to come back, until he can last a little longer.
I hope those still there have a wonderful time!
