Im not sure how I forgot to mention how sore my legs and back were when I woke up on this morning. The walking from the day before really made me sore and tired. I was starting to re-think my plans for the day.
We headed out of AK towards the bus stops and realized that we walked the wrong path. How I have no idea other than my mind was preoccupied thinking about the race and the other two just trusted that I knew where I was going. So we added alot of unneccesary walking. But we finally made our way to the correct bus stop for DHS. Within minutes were hopped on the bus with only one other person. We got pretty lucky with transportation this trip.
We arrived at DHS and it was looking pretty crowded. We headed straight to pixar place to see if we could still get TSM fast passes.
No luck....none left! The wait time was 90 minutes so we decided to skip it.
I was really really getting hungry anyway and by this picture you can tell I must of been dealing with low blood sugar because I was acting a bit goofy.
So we headed over to pizza planet. This was my first time eating here. I would say the little cup of salad they give you is yummy but the pizza was a bit too doughy for me.
I realized that I had alot of firsts this trip. Its amazing how you can go somewhere so many times and still have so much you have yet to do or try.
So after our lunch I headed over to check out wait times for R&R and TOT while the others had another smoke break.
R&R was a 20 min wait and TOT 30. So I grabbed fast passes for TOT and waited for the others so we could get in line for R&R.
While I waited I called home and got an update on how ryans last bball game went. He scored 6 points and played good defense. I was a proud mama and as I talked to him on the phone I once again fought back the tears. I was missing them alot on this day. So while I waited I had myself another treat.
I only had 1/2! I gave the rest to my aunt. She finished it up and we got in line for another first ride of mine!
This was my favorite ride of the trip. I loved it. What an amazing ride!!!!
Once we got off we got in line for TOT and by that point it was only a 5 min wait so we didnt even need our FP.
This was the 2nd time I rode TOT and I am still not sure if I really like it or not. My aunt went on and said she is glad she did it but wont do it again.
We decided to get a spot for the parade and relax our feet a bit. We got a spot right on the curb and watched the actors that they had out to entertain everyone. I had tried to keep my sunglasses on my head so that I wouldnt look like a racoon with the sun I was getting. The policeman kept coming over and yelling at me to put on my glasses. If he saw me with them off he would come back over. It was kind of funny. It really helped passed the time while we waited.
The parade began and I would say it was good although I liked the old one better. I did get a few shots of some of our favorites.
After the parade I told my mom that I wanted to stay at the park for a little and that they could go to the parade at MK for 7 but I was going back to the resort to rest. My legs were feeling a little better but still very sore and tired. I was getting nervous that I was really doing myself in with all this walking. They were fine with that.
First we took a ride on the classic. The great movie ride. This was the first time that we got a really bad and annoying tour guide. From the start I could tell this girl was not a very good actress and she had the most annoying voice. Well of course the ride would get stuck right???? We got stuck in the Tarzan room and between tarzan yelling and swinging and this girl talking I wanted to get out and walk to the exit. She kept saying the same thing over and over again and was yelling at tarzan to stop. It was so awkward. We were stuck for about 20 min. I was so ready to get off that ride.
Next my aunt and mom wanted to do Indian Jones but I noticed AI was also at the same time. So we split up. I havent seen the AI experience yet so I was excited even if I was by myself.
I took some pictures waiting for it to start. This show was awesome. There was one contestant who did so well. She was only 15 and she was amazing.
After the show I walked out and found my mom and aunt. My mom decided that we should still eat dinner together so we went to mama melrose to see if we could get a table.
We were in luck! We got seated within a minute or so. I ordered the chicken parm. It was so good and the spaghetti with it definitely gave me the carbs I would need for the next day.
After dinner we said our goodbyes and they were off. I decided to walk through the shops and I found a few things to take home for the boys. I have to admit the time I spent alone in the park and the evening at the resort was so peaceful. As much as I enjoyed the company of my mom and aunt I think I really just needed sometime to myself.
I went back to the resort and got changed into comfy clothes. I took my book and went to the hot tub. I just soaked my feet and legs while I read my book and It was wonderful. It made me feel extrememly tired so after awhile I got out and went to the FC to see what i could get for the morning.
The grab and go market line was so long and there was barely anything left to buy. I did get a rice krispie treat and a banana. I finally made my way back to the room.
Up next: Getting everything ready for my big day!
