Hello everyone! Welcome back to the show!
It’s been a while, and I’m sorry! School kind of took over my entire life for a sec there. On the bright side, only 6 weeks left and I will have an undergrad!
Picking up where I left off: We’re starting a new day! But this was the day when the best laid plans started going awry. It started off from the very beginning. We woke up late. I don’t know what happened! We were just so tired! But I should have just gotten us up at 7 am instead of almost 8:30 am. Everything kind of got thrown off from that point.
So we rushed to get breakfast (same as every day) and rushed to Hollywood Studios. We made it there at around 9:45, which was totally NOT good.
So our time at HS was supposed to be from 8:30-10:15am and now we only had about 30 mins for HS. At first I didn’t think that was a huge problem because HS is our least favorite park. I always have a hard time fitting it into our plans anyway. This was probably the worst planning, though.
It was the first time I had ever seen an Army guy in person!
When we showed up at HS, we went to our first FP+ at Toy Story Mania. This is one of my favorite rides, mostly because it’s 3D that doesn’t make me sick.
Mr. Potato Head was SO funny!
The line actually wasn’t so long, after the FP+ so we rode it again. That second time kind of wiped me out for some reason! I felt pretty nauseous afterwards. It was especially frustrating because I am usually 100% OK on this ride. I guess riding it twice is not a good idea. But I beat Grant the second time around! That’s the important part.
After that we were kind of clueless on what to do. We had no time to do everything that we were supposed to do, so we kind of had to pick one other thing.
We decided to do something that we haven’t done before and we went to make a droid! It was kind of awkward because there was a weird line in the middle of the store to get to the droid building section and a handler there. So I couldn’t even really take any pictures because I felt so rushed.
The one picture I did take!
The line handler did NOT like that I was taking time to photograph things and pretty much asked me not to do that. So after this it was basically time to go.
Ok, so you guys might be really disappointed in me, but we strayed from our plans again. I still felt sick so we decided to just go back to the hotel and rest up. The original plan was to go straight to MK and take a break on Tom Sawyer Island. So we left the park at 10:45ish and went home and straight to sleep.
Guess what happened, guys. We overslept AGAIN. And at first I didn’t panic when I saw the clock at 12:15pm, but then I immediately panicked. We had a reservation at Be Our Guest at 1:00pm!
I don’t even know how to describe how fast we tried to get to Magic Kingdom. It was NUTS. I was already upset because I had felt sick all morning and I just steadily got more upset. So we decided to cheat to get into MK quickly. We skipped the TTC and parked at the Contemporary. We rushed in to get on the monorail. We had 12 minutes to get there, by that point. But at the Contemporary, one of the monorails was out and we were ushered into another one going to opposite direction. So instead of going straight to MK, we stopped at all the other resorts first.
I will admit: I did cry. I was SO excited to see Be Our Guest. I ended up cancelling the reservation just as we got off the monorail at MK. In hindsight, we could have made it if we ran, but I was still kind of sleepy/sick.
We decided to go back to the Contemporary (this time taking the walkway, which was much faster) to move our car from the resort to the TTC and monorail back into MK.
When we got back to MK, Grant and I kind of awkwardly stood around trying to figure out what to do. We ended up kind of blaming each other, but you know, that’s what couples do! Thankfully, we kind of got over it pretty quickly. We were at Disney World after all! And in my favorite park!
So we ended up going to the Columbia Harbour House for lunch. I got the salmon (out of curiousity) and Grant got a tuna sandwich. I know I mentioned this before but we both are pescatarian. We will only eat fish if we are feeling low on the energy side (like today!).
The salmon was pretty good for the price! And Grant said he enjoyed his sandwich. We got a nice quiet seat by the window and kind of relaxed. Next time I’ll get Be Our Guest hopefully.
The day was only half over at this point but my plans were way, way off. I’ll be back soon with the second part of this day! Thanks for reading!
