That is an amazingly productive morning! Glad Connor can fall asleep in the stroller.
Honestly, he hasn’t ridden in a stroller since our last trip in March. But I think I’ve worn him down so much, he could’ve fallen asleep standing up! But this is good. By 3:00 pm, I think he’ll be back up and we’ll hit the ground running again
What a great morning! I hope you have an awesome time tonight.
My kids will be 6 and 3 next trip. I’ll be getting a double. It’s just smart helps with over tired kids
Is that a tiny piece of fruit I see in the middle of the breakfast table amid the eggs, potatoes, meat, and french toast? Good work dad, we wouldn’t want DS5 to not get fruit and vegetables while under your care
The boy needs protein, ok? Honestly, I didn’t even realize how much protein is on that plate until you said something. The plates are all pre-made by the kitchen, so you have no control over what goes on to it, unless you make a special request. The fruit bar was so sad looking, that was all I could gather.
We did have a solid lunch of Space Ranger Slush too. He fell asleep before we could get anything of substance He looks like he’s about to fall asleep holding that cup! What happens in Disney stays in Disney, right?
Yes, no one will know!
I was teasing, of course. Its his birthday!
awesome trip report so far… ty for taking us along!..love following your adventures👍
Wow that is a lot of rides for just the morning. I don’t think I could do that many solo never mind with a 5 year old. So fun following along, have a great part 2.
You had quite a full day!!! That would be really nice to be able to walk around the WS without all the crowds
What a great morning!!!
I believe that EMM would be well worth it.
Exactly!!! We won’t tell!
Hope you have a great night
Crowds have been quite manageable, which makes a huge difference. Feb-March crowds were insanely high, and it was much more of a challenge to get things done!!
It has been a great day! And EMM at FL is well worth it for us! Right now, we are waiting for HEA! I get all tingly just thinking about it
We were there in June but life got totally insane so I haven’t written my trip report yet! I guess I gotta do that… We’ll be back in November for a week too! (And maybe in January for my birthday… really making those APs WORK )
Day 2, Part 2: Part two of day two was more or less a huge success. Here’s a summary of what we did this afternoon, starting with ride #17 for the day.
- Spaceship Earth (yes, in Epcot) (Standby walk-on)
—Dinner at Pecos Bill — - Jungle Cruise (FPP #4)
- Swiss Family Robinson House (Walk-on)
- Tiki Room (Walk-on/in)
- PotC (FPP #5)
- Splash (Anytime FPP)
- Under the Sea (Standby walk-on)
- Barnstormer (FPP #6)
— HEA Dessert Party —
So, here’s what we did. DS woke up around 3:00 pm, and we headed out to MK. I thought it might be nice to walk through Epcot, then take the monorails to MK. It started out well enough. We passed by Spaceship Earth, and since there was no line, we did an impromptu ride through and learned about our future. Anyone find these things really creepy, with the heads always cut out in really weird ways?
Then, the monorail arrived as soon as we walked up the ramp. Still doing well. Then we get to the TTC, where they decided to switch one of the monorails from the Express to the Resort track, which delayed us by about 30 minutes at the station. Good news is, we made it to MK safely.
We ate a quick and very mediocre dinner at Pecos Bill’s. Fortunately, my expectations for MK food are very low, so I wasn’t disappointed or anything. Then, off to riding all those rides. At least DS found the JC skipper’s jokes funny:
And, here’s one for your @bethro23. I think we share a mutual appreciation for Splash
At least Barnstormer is good for one thing: A great view of Tron being built from the queue. It looks like the track is essentially built out now!
Then, on to the HEA dessert party. This time, I made sure both DS and I saved up a good appetite so we could take advantage of the full spread. The Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake is to die for! The other stuff is pretty good too. The coffee is still woefully inadequate. When can they just get Starbucks to replace that Joffrey’s garbage (sorry Joffrey’s fans). Look, @DumboRunner, there’s some fruit mixed in there. Do chocolate covered strawberries count ?
And, I kid you not, this happened totally unplanned. After eating a cupcake, DS got himself a blue Walt Disney mustache
Oh, yeah, and HEA was pretty good too, I guess! It’s only quite possibly the most impressive thing ever! Viewing it from the designated plaza area is amazing. You can lay out on the fake grass, and watch it fully supine if you want!
Well, another fun day is in the books. Tomorrow, the madness continues with EMM TSL and DAH AK. I think it can work, because after EMM, we’ll probably do one or two things at HS and then head back to YC by about 10:00 am and hang out pool side until late afternoon before heading over to AK. Well, here’s me signing off from YC! See y’all tomorrow. Thanks for sticking with me!!
Hey good for you! Gotta get your money’s worth, right ! I’m a little bummed we are leaving the day before F&W at EP and I’ll miss out on the first of two F&W AP magnets!
Another fun day, happy birthday to Conner!
I totally agree!!
What a great 5th birthday celebration!
another wonderful day! love that blue mustache!
