Into the Wild West!
So, I left off with us heading over to Big Thunder Mountain. We had fast passes for Big Thunder Mountain and had time before we could use that. So, we decided to wait standby for Splash Mountian, since we didn't have a fastpass for it. Morgan was NOT happy about this. She has been spoiled by our multiple days at MK trips and fast pass in general. She also wanted to go into the Splash mountain store for some reason for her one thing... So, we said we would do that after Splash & BTM. The wait wasn't too bad. The line started around the steps up into the building.
So, this was the first time we made a "mistake" when asked how many people, I said 2 since me and Morgan were going together, instead of saying 5. And Morgan and I got separated and into a different boat than my mom, Gwen and Andy. Not the end of the world but we could have gotten a full post pic. Oh well.
So, waiting in line Morgan decided to try and say she didn't want to do the drop that it was too high. I wasn't having it, we have been on this ride many times.... She of course Loved the ride! She loves the part after the big drop where the waterfall is, and you get wet if you sit there too long...
She even insists that she sits on that side to get the wettest. (Which is fine by me!)
Our selfie on the ride. See she loves the ride!
Andy took this pick of Gwen, he sat by himself behind my mom and her.
We all love Splash Mountain. I love how long it is, all the drops and all the scenes. It's perfect like that!
Oh, and the PhotoPass Photo of the "other" car.... Andy decided to dab.
And I love that my mom and Gwen are both screaming for dear life. Funny.
After our ride on Splash it was the beginning of our widow for Big Thunder Mountain. So we headed over there next. This time we said party of 5 and were assigned only 2 rows.... It was tight with Andy, myself and Gwen in one row... Gwen wasn't happy with this... But we survived.
After our ride through the Wild West, we headed into the Splash Mountain Gift Shop. The girls had spotted some plush they had wanted. They both eyed up the Rabbit from Splash Mountain! They discussed who should get it and who should pick something else... Morgan found a Skunk with a reallllllllly long tail that she feel in love with. So, Gwen won the Rabbit battle. And then, she found another plush with a realllllllly long tail, The Fox from Fox and the Hound. (which they have never seen) I found a pair of sunglasses with Minnie bows on the sides. We explained to the girls that they would have to carry there goods the rest of the day and they were "fine" with that....
This was after lunch but it shows the girls buys....
Also, as a side note, Morgan was so cute, she walked the whole day right next to my mom holding onto the basket most of the time. She was afraid my mom was going to get lost.
We decided it was time for lunch! And since it was right there we decided to do Pecos' Bills. WE left my moms's ECV where it was parked and walked over. It was already busy in there, so we decided what we all wanted and my mom and me went with the girls to find a seat and then I headed back to help Andy bring all the food over. We ended up all the way in the seating practically in Adventureland! But thankfully we got a table.
I don't have any food pics. We were all pretty hungry by now... My mom and I split a fajita platter, Andy got the burger, Gwen got a kids meal option, corn dogs maybe.... And Morgan wanted plan nachos. But they gave Andy fully loaded nachos. So, he had to go back and ask for plain (Just cheese) nachos. Which they were nice enough to do with no complaints, except it was not melted on.... Morgan was sad about this... But she was hungry and tired at this point and finally ate something.
As we were sitting, we were talking about what to do next and the plan for the rest of the day. Andy and I talked about the fact that the girls were already showing signs of being tired and that a sit down dinner might not be a great idea. So, I went ahead and cancelled our reservation for Skipper Canteen that evening. (I regretted this later)
After lunch, we collected the EVC and started to make our way towards Tomorrowland. We have Space Mountain fast passes to head towards. We stopped at the Cinderella's Fountain. Gwen was obsessed with this fountain on our first trip. I showed Andy and my mom how the crown lines up on her head if you get the right kid height angle.
And then we decided to take a ride on the carousel. Which ended up having technical difficulty and we had to sit for awhile... Morgan was getting "worried" that we were going to miss our Space Mountain window. But we had plenty of time. We did FINALLY get our ride around and around.
We still have a little more time, so we decided to go into see Mickey's Philharmonic. This is one of my favorites!
This is how Morgan was carrying around her "one" thing....
The wait was short, just had to wait for the show that was going on to finish and we were inside. This pic of Gwen, though kind of shows the state of the girls... Tired.
I think all the walking was really starting to catch up to them. We talked bout heading out at some point to be able to swim at the hotel. But for now, we had a few more things we really wanted to see and do!
Philharmonic was excellent as always! And we headed out and over to Space Mountain!
Thanks so much. My girls are characters. So different but yet still each others' BFF's. They did WAAAAAY better than I thought they would! But wait for the next days TR....
