Today was great. We got up early for breakfast at 'Ohana. The line to check in was 20 minutes
, but we were seated around 10 minutes later. The food was good, and the kids love the parade and Stitch. Stitch took Rees' milk and drank it, and they thought that was hilarious. Then we bought some pins (Rees now wants to trade too) and headed to the MK. The crowds were great today, and it was cooler with overcast this am. Wait times were very nice (20 min for Pooh, 20 min for Splash, 10 for BTMRR, 10 for Buzz).
We rode Aladdin's carpets, Jungle Cruise , POC (which Rees rode and LOVED!), Splash (which drenched DD, DS, and me), HM (Rees didn't ride), Pooh, Teacups, Indy Race Cars, Buzz, and then Laugh Floor. At the Laugh Floor DH was picked at the beginning to dance, and then Rees was selected at the end by Mike W's nephew for the kid who tells what he wants to be (Rees said a pilot). The show is adorable. Then we headed to the Castle to eat at CRT for dinner. the food was good and we all enjoyed the Celebration show. After dinner we went to Toontown and rode the train around the MK, saw Mickey and Minnie's house and Donald's boat. Then Rees out of the blue said he wanted to ride Goofy Barnstormer. Well, he ADORED it and insited on riding again immediately. Then he asked if we could go back to BTMRR because he wanted to ride THAT! I was SHOCKED! Well, we rode it and he loved it and wasn't scared even of the dark tunnel with the bats!!!
So we rode it again twice. Then he asked if we could go back to AK to try EE.
I am so happy that he was able to conquer some of his fears and sensory issues and ride POC and 2 roller coasters today. What a huge difference.
This is the child who we couldn't get to go on Peter Pan 2 years ago. We just had the best time today.
After BTMRR we got a Dole Whip float (hi, Marti!
) and some treats at the Main Street Confectionary. Then we came back to the CR and watched Wishes from the 4th floor balcony. We are now packing up to head to the BC tomorrow to check in. We go back to DHS tomorrow and then Epcot on Friday.
Have a great night and celebrate with me that Rees did so well!
