So after the princesses it was more cool and we were both just happy and excited mood wise. Also for the rest of the night LL and stand by waits were equally walk on. I got less good about taking pictures so I'm not sure if this is all accurate but here we go the essence of truth is here.
Ok autotopia!
This ride wasn't a priority because we have a similar ride at an amusement park near home. But it was fun and relaxing now that the weather was improving.
Next monsters inc laugh factory! This was a first time for me. We really like the movies. Like we've watched them a lot. A lot. A lot. And I don't even mind that much. But I heard this attraction was kind of a meh for most people.
They are all wrong! This was my favorite attraction of the day. It was hilarious. I don't know how the technology works...I guess there's a CM backstage? But they were really poking fun at the audience and the jokes were for adults but still kid friendly. I guess every show is different? But amazing. This is a must do for me and the kids will just have to put up with it. Why don't people like this?
Then buzz lightyear. This one wasn't a priority since it's kind of the same ride as toy story mania but I think you story mania was better. But DD really loved it. As she did you story mania.
Look at my game face.
DD is down in her seat. I promise I didn't abandon her. After this ride she picks out a little woody car toy from the gift shop (so glad she wanted the cheapest toy lol. I was like yes that's a very good choice DD)
The fireworks were starting to go off when we got off but I didn't prioritize us seeing it because DD seemed disinterested in them the other day. I heard they were good to watch on peoplemover tho so we got on that. They were not good to watch on peoplemover. I had never been on it before but it goes inside a lot. During the peoplemover DD says she wants to see the fireworks so we hurry off the ride and run over to a spot to watch and we catch the end of it.
Then I ask DD what she wants to do and she says more rides! And I had no rides left so I asked what she wanted to go on again but she didn't know so she told me to pick. Ok. Off to Dumbo again! So then we had a fun ride on dumbo.
Then I asked how she felt about going on the goofy coaster? She didn't like the slinky ride but I heard this goofy coaster was very kid friendly. She was like yeah let's go. So we went. She didn't like it but she didn't get sick like slinky.
Then I asked what next? And she said I don't know again. it was getting late and I could tell she was tired but we were just having so much fun. So I asked what about small world? And she said yes! So off we went. And she passed out at the very end of the ride. Like hard. A woman sitting behind us helped me carry her off. Thank you stranger
and I carried her to the stroller and put her in without her waking up.
I was happy and didn't want to leave yet so I decided to go to the shops. I picked out some candy and popcorn for my co-workers. I got a sweatshirt for me. I picked out a Moana lovey for DD (since I told her she could get 1 toy and 1 lovey from each park but there was no waking her now). I got a little mickey car toy for baby brother. (That way they will both have a car toy. He likes what she likes basically.)
And then I just looked at stuff, like the fancy stores, the shop windows, the ambience.
Mickey was waving at everyone as we left. I waved back.
The bus was there when I got there! Somehow I managed to carry a sleeping DD, the stroller, the backpack and multiple shopping bags on the bus. DD still didn't wake up. The bus driver called me a super mom.
I don't even remember the rest of the night. I must have just got us in bed and passed out. Or maybe I packed some? Because I think the bags were pretty much good the next day.
Some MK thoughts:
Genie plus was very helpful even though I think we had low crowds. Rope dropping was intense but it helped us go on a lot of rides. I don't know if I'll keep rope dropping MK while the kids are young. We need to slow waaaay down next time. Honestly I think ideally but this would probably cost more but I'd like to rope drop the other parks then have pool/nap time then go to MK at night. We really only liked MK at night when the crowds were less intense (at least in fantasy land) and it wasn't hot. I will bring snacks next time for both of us. I was not impressed with the snacks at MK or food.
Up next character breakfast and travel home day
