Back to the Magic
We sloshed back to our car and then decided lunch at the McDonalds would have to do. Of course the line for the Mcdonalds took 30 minutes, because apparently nothing could be easy that day. We drove back to the hotel and I attempted to take a nap. Again, my mind just couldn’t relax enough to drift off to the sleep. The rain had slowed to slightly less than torrential downpour, so we decided to head back out. Our original clothes were soaked, thankfully C had backup clothes, I did not. I ended up wearing the clothes I had brought to sleep in. I also donned my cardigan sweater, because it was the only thing I had to keep warm, I took a picture to show my ridiculous outfit.
I also wanted to show you our cool elevator at the hotel.
Before going back to MK, I had a stop to make. There was no way I was leaving my sleep for the remainder of the trip to my body. We planned to go hard at Universal. I also had to grab something to get me through the rest of the day.
Quite the combo, but the Red Bull helped me survive the rest of the day and the ZZZQuil helped me sleep that night.
Looks like the rain was driving a lot of people out of the park
We headed back to Tomorrowland first.
We got in line for Buzz Lightyear, the line wound all the way through Monsters Inc. clocking in at 35 minutes.
Next we decided to ride Space.
The rain had finally cleared and the outdoor attractions were able to open once again. C really wanted to ride the Speedway, so we did that next.
Tron Construction
After our trip around the racetrack, we decided to head back to Fantasyland. I haven’t been on the tea cups in I don’t even know how long. It was a walk on, so we decided to take a spin. I let C do the spinning, and he loved to go very fast one way and then stop and go the other direction.
I would have been fine skipping Storybook Circus this time around, but C really wanted to ride Dumbo.
Another ride that I had purposely skipped the last few trips, C really had his heart set on, It’s a Small World. Of course, I said yes, motherly guilt and all that.
It was dinner time and I was hungry. We decided to eat Peco Bill’s, so we placed our mobile order and waited.
We both got an order of nachos and they were yummy. We still got all the toppings, but they were given to us in little, pre-packaged containers.
We were very happy with how much we had accomplished during the day, despite the setbacks. We had a couple of rides we wanted to re-ride. Splash had a 35 minute wait, but we thought it would be worth it. We played lots of Heads Up and the wait ended up being about 45 minutes. It was the first time since COVID, we had actually waited more than the quoted wait time.
After our visit to the Briar Patch, we figured we had time for one more ride. We of course had to ride Big Thunder at night.
Even though we were done with rides for the day, we figured we had earned a treat from all the trials and tribulations the start of the trip had given us. A dole whip for C.
And my new favorite Disney treat for me, the Kakamora Float.
I found that the sugar rush gave me some extra energy to possibly squeeze in one more ride. There was one from our bucket list we did not get to check that day, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. We trekked across the park, stopping at the Tangled tinkle spot quickly, so gorgeous.
We got in line with less than 15 minutes left of park time. We chatted with the couple behind us, which made the time fly.
With the park officially closed, we made our way back to Main Street USA.
One last selfie for the evening.
We stopped to get a PP before leaving.

We remembered we could take our masks off
And with that our day in Magic Kingdom had come to a close. It certainly wasn’t what I had expected, but I think all things considered we made the best of it. We drove back to our offsite hotel and I packed up to move to Universal the next day.
