Day Two 6/4/2017 ~ Magic Kingdom (part 3) con't
Sorry for the photo overload, but if you can't tell...I LOVED THIS SHOW! And yes, I cried during it. The only disappointment was that Tink didn't fly because of the rain. And besides loving the show, I really am happy with the dessert party experience and will plan to book it again in 2019, this time planning ahead, eating dinner earlier, and arriving to the party earlier.
Oh and there was another disappointment not related to the party or show. I was supposed to have a couple Dismeets but because of timing, I missed them.
Anyway, we won't schedule this for 2018 because we have just the one MK day and I plan to spend that time on attractions but because we are there 4 nights, I am throwing around the idea of trying to go up to Top of the World Lounge one night to watch the fireworks, since we will (hopefully) be DVC owners by then.
After the show was over, it was still raining somewhat and I had planned for us to try to hit Country Bears and I also had grabbed an additional FP for PotC which I actually changed to Under the Sea at Chad's request, just because he wanted to do something we had not done already that day. But, alas, the boys were tired and vetoed that and I guess it is a good thing because I found out later in the trip that Country Bears closes at 9pm. I should've known this but touring plans didn't tell me that when I added it to the plan after HEA and I didn't check MDE. Oops. Planning Fail!
So we started making our way out and they had opened up the area between Tomorrowland Terrace and the Plaza. It spit us out beside the Chapeau so we stopped in there and I think we bought both Will and AJ a hat. Will's was the classic ear hat type but with McQueen on it. AJ's was a Sorcerer Mickey hat that lights up. I truly don't even know where those hats are so I probably should look for them! I don't think Chad found one here but I can't remember for certain because he bought a couple or a few throughout the trip and then wasn't satisfied and would look for another. I truly wanted to remind him we had a budget but he was having so much fun buying hats and pins and other souvenirs, I hated to burst his bubble...and him being happy was really helpful to my greater purpose (see the title of this TR).
**Side note** I just looked at the receipt and it was only a hat for AJ and for Will. Chad's hat(s) must've come later...lol. Oh and we checked out here at 9:26pm.
After this we grabbed the boat back to WL - again...best thing ever!!! We stopped at Territory Lounge on the way back to the room and I grabbed us a couple drinks to go, while Chad waited with the boys. We didn't get anything fancy; Chad got some name brand bourbon with a splash of water, I believe, and I got a White Sangria. We checked out here at 10:03...so that should tell you how quickly we were able to catch a boat and get back to WL. I'll say it again...best thing ever!
After this, we headed up to the room to begin preparations for bed. I'm sure it was a bit before we all made it into bed but we had made it back by a fairly decent hour. It was a great first day at the parks!
Up next: Day Three 6/5/2017 ~ Epcot and Hollywood Studios (part 1)
