I'll upload some pic in a bit, but i have to wait for them to load off photobucket.
So we headed up Main Street, DH stopped at starbucks and grabbed a coffee. He also got DS's first picture in front of the castle. Then we headed to Fantasyland. Our first stop was King Arthurs sword. We got a great picture of DS trying to pull on the sword. I think this will be our spot to always get a picture of him. The photopass castmember couldnt stop taking pictures of him. this became a common theme.
Then we went to DS's first disney ride. The carousel. I held DS on a horse, and at first he looked very worried. But soon he got a big smile. i swear that that is the shortest carousel in the world, but i understand. Then we got off and headed to the teacups. We didnt have to wait in line but one cycle, and we were piling in a pink teacup. DH controlled the cup so we wouldnt spin too much as i held DS. He didnt quite know what to think, but he did well. didnt even get scared of the door mouse popping out. Next we headed to Winnie the Pooh. DS had a blast in the queue. Especially the honey pots. my only complaint is that some kids wouldnt let him see any of the bee beads that you move along the metal rail. All he wanted to do was look at one, but this family of kids were taking them all. But a mantra for us when we dont get what we want is "dont worry, we'll come back someday, this might be their only trip" if only DH remembered that earlier. He did well on the ride, so when we got off we headed to Small World. This was our first hint of how busy the parks would be. There was a line for this ride, we had to wait, and DS was getting squirmy. We stuck it out, and he did enjoy the first half of the ride, but he was asleep by the end.
We put him in his stroller and let him nap. DH and i headed to Gastons and got a late breakfast. A giant cinnamon roll to share. We sat at the table and just enjoyed a rest considering all we got done so far. We had fast passes for Peter Pan until 1125, so we headed over there. DS woke up but you could tell he was still tired. I thought he would go back to sleep on PP, but he really enjoyed this ride. After peter pan we went to Dumbo. I think DSs favorite part of that ride was watching the older kids in the circus room while we waited. On the ride itself he just looked really confused. "mom, we are sitting inside a giant elephant and going in a circle. I dont get it"
When we got off we walked around the back way into tomorrowland. I was thinking that we could get on the people mover and let him get another nap in. Ive heard that sometimes the castmembers will let you stay on esp if you have a sleeping baby, since theres usually not a long line. Usually. There was a line. And he didnt nap anyway, he really enjoyed the ride. Especially the corners. We even got to see Space Mtn with the lights on. When we got off the ride, quick diaper change, and sat down to drink some water. I had a fast pass for SM for later in the day but i knew that the ride was just down, so i kept eyeing the ride as we let DS drink some water. While we waited i went and bought DS a stuffed alien from Toy Story. He loved it. THen i glanced and SM was open- 10 minute wait. "Sit tight, i'll be right back" (DH is not a rollercoaster person). I walked right on the ride. When i came out, the wait time was already 120 minutes. Win for me. It was time for our next fast pass, Little Mermaid. DS fell asleep on this ride. Which worked out a late lunch at Be Our Guest was next.
We did the preorder, and it worked out well. DH got the beef sandwich, and i got the slow cooked pork off the kids menu. Which confused them bc not only did i get the kids drink, they also gave me a cup for soda. another win. I shared mine with DS, when he finally woke up. We took one of the last reservation tmes for lunch, so we did get to see what the place would look like for dinner as they were changing over while we ate. i took some time to walk around and check out all three rooms. (a must do). for dessert i got the masters cupcake and DH got the eclair. Now that i got to try the grey stuff on the cupcake, i'm happy. But i will probably try something else next time.
After lunch we had fastpasses for 7 dwarfs. We used the child swap and DH went first. DS and i watched from the fence, well DS was too busy chomping on his new alien. THen i went. Here is my review. The ride is cute but overrated. i dont think i would never wait in a 2 hr line to ride it but i would use fastpass. Its too short, but the details inside are awesome. So i think it works great for fantasyland. Its a kid ride. DH loved it bc for a rollercoaster, its the speed he likes. It was 4pm and we did everything we planned on doing. We decided to stop by stroybook circus and see what the waits were for the characters. Donald and Goofy were only ten minutes so we decided to see how DS would do. HE LOVED THEM!. When goofy came out, DS just started squealing. Again, photopass loved taking his picture. He wasnt quite as excited about Donald, but still smiles.
When we got out of there, we gave DS a bottle, and put him in the stroller. He zonked out so we slowly made our way out of the park. We got on the bus, and he continued to sleep. But not before filling his diaper as the bus pulled away. Yes, we were those ppl with the stinky baby. His timing was just too perfect this whole trip.
We got back to SSR and made sure everything was ready to be moved the next day to OKW. DS woke up so we headed to the pool. Another first for DS. DH took him into the kiddie pool area while i headed over to the water tower slide, bc in my opinion that is the fastest and best way to get used to the water at Dis. After a few trips down the slide, i checked on my boys. DH was walking DS around the kid area, letting water trickle and fall on him. DS did not look happy. So i took DS and went into the big pool so DH could sit in the hot tub. DS was confused about the water, but wasnt upset anymore. Just took everything in with a very serious look on his face. We didnt stay long and headed back to our room. DS took yet another nap, but woke up in time for us to head back to MK. We decided to show DS the electrical parade and fireworks.
This is one of my Disney pet peeves. Peoples manners when it comes to parades, and fireworks. I could never be one of those cast members that controls the crowds at parades bc i would snap. We found a open spot behind a mother,father and two boys. We were right on the corner of main street near the front of the park. So even though we were behind people, we had a clear shot of the roundabout bc the rope was next to us. Well, the family of four was actually a family of 10. Another couple, and grandparent, and two more kids. But now there wasnt room for all of them. And they were shooting us dirty looks. Ok they were sitting and all sprawled out. Had three strollers, one of which was a double. We had our little stroller, which i folded up and propped next to the light pole, and we were standing while i held ds. Our footprint was very small, but they kept trying to crowd us out. (you know how you can tell when ppl are trying to make you uncomfortable so you will leave) One of the ladies even made a snide remark about how people are rude for not giving her room to be with her family while she looked at us. Ok lady big mistake, we're both in law enforcement. We arent going to be intimidated. we got there first, and we werent going to move. We are used to having people say rude stuff to us while we stand there and continue to do our job. Our job today was to show DS the parade. Finally they made some of there older kids stand up so they could squeeze in.
In the end, DS loved the parade. THen they turned the lights on, and there was a cockroach on the mean ladys foot. It quickly scurried under the trash can where she was sitting against. DH just said to me loud enough to be heard "thats why i dont sit against the garbage cans"
The park was still super crowded, and i just didnt want to deal with people anymore, so we decided to head back before the fireworks. We took the bus back to the carriage house, filled out mugs, and walked back to our room. DS went right to sleep, and DH and i didnt take to long after that.
