Late report from 2.8
We arrived at a little before 7. The bypass was open, so we went over to Tomorrowland. We were going to ride Peoplemover, but it was stopped, so we did the speedway (we'd never done it before - glad it was only an 8 minute wait- wouldn't have been worth much more!) Peoplemover was back up (yay) so we rode that. The lights were on in Space, so we got to see the whole track - so cool!
We debated whether or not to watch the fireworks from the hub- DD really wanted to, so we found a spot on the Adventureland side of the hub - centered enough to see the castle, far enough over to escape right after the fireworks. A good spot, considering we walked up as the show was starting. I'm glad we did - I hadn't seen HEA from the hub. I may or may not have teared up a little...
After the fireworks we did:
Splash
BTMRR (2x - CM let us hang out on the exit platform and reboard in the back row after a train or 2 had gone by)
Pirates
Astro Orbiter (2x - loved seeing all the lights on main street!)
Space (so happy it was back up - 7 minute wait)
Barnstormer (4x - didn't get off)
Teacups
Winnie the Pooh
Carousel
7DMT (posted 30, actual less than 10)
Peter Pan
At 11:00 we walked up to Philharmagic and they said they were doing one last show, so we did that (DD was pretty tired by then, but she humored me!)
Finished at about 11:15 and walked our way to the front of the park, stopping for photopass pictures
Walked out to the bus area, and the line looked long, but we got on the next bus that pulled up - about 5 minutes wait. We were at the GF, and it only stopped at the Poly before the GF, so we were back in the room by midnight.
We hit the snack carts 2x for ice cream and waters.
Highlights - DD going cartwheels into Tomorrowland (until she got busted by a cast member who politely asked her to stop). A photopass photo of the two of us cracking up in front of the castle. Seeing a group of 4 cast members wearing kitchen whites being escorted onto Pirates by their manager so they could ride. Watching HEA with my DD!
