To be honest, the next morning was boring. We woke up early and went to Perkins for breakfast, which was delicious, and drank a lot of coffee, which was ok, and then we headed back to the condo, where we sat on the balcony and chatted and surfed the web.
We had plans to do our laundry tomorrow during the day, so this morning was just relaxation; I took a nap, and I think my mom watched a movie. We also went to Walgreens, as Mom's allergies were really starting to bother her, but I think she decided to try and tough it out (bad idea).
At 3:30, we headed out. It was a beautiful day, and we were supposed to only get afternoon showers so we had our fingers crossed that the Headless Horseman would ride tonight!
Look at these clouds.
So white and fluffy! We got to the ferry just in time for it to be leaving; but we could see another heading our way, so we weren't concerned.
Finally on Main Street!
It was just before 4 p.m. now; we did come in on our
MNSSHP tickets and got a wristband right away. We thought we'd be too early, but nope.
We had FP+ for PotC, HM, and BTMRR (of course) and still had a little time, I looked in Uptown Jewelers for the HM DDB. I knew it wasn't there (my group would have told me) but I wanted to check. I fell into conversation with a CM there, who told me the most helpful thing I'd heard in weeks about the HM DDB - he told me if I was looking for a HM bag, I "might want to visit Monday morning" as there would be "lots of additional staff scheduled and on hand to help anyone who might be looking for the same bag I was". AH HA! Our dates might be right! I thanked him and headed out.
We got a coffee at Starbucks and then walked for a while towards Adventureland. I wanted to actually drink my hot coffee, so we sat down for a minute so I could put some ice in it.
I loved that red Mickey shirt on the far right; I kept thinking about buying it but never did.
After drinking my coffee, we headed for PotC and miraculously it was up! We jumped in the FP+ line and winded through before coming to a stop - wow, the FP+ line was backed up! We ended up with about a 15 minute wait before boarding.
They sat us in a row with two other adults and a little girl; I wish they would just let your party sit together alone. We were all shoved up against each other!
BTMRR was next.
We went through without our FP+ first, as the line was super short.
I got a lot of pictures I liked from the ride.
And then we got off and went on a second time, WITH our FP+ this time.
We paused after the ride to rest for a minute.
And then we headed towards HM. After our ride through the mansion, we headed to CHH for dinner. I, of course, had the broccoli.
Once the party started, we wanted to try and ride 7DMT standby; so we were killing time at this point.
Yay, Peoplemover!
You know, I didn't hate the color scheme as much as I thought I would.
While on the ride, the clock struck 7. It was now party time!
We checked out the wait time for 7DMT, and it said 20 minutes. We figured, where else did we have to be? and jumped in line.
The queue is so nicely done.
Except every time we thought we were close to boarding, we weren't. And then suddenly, we were right there!
What is it with us having big guys right in front of us?
That's better!
We loved it at night. I know there are a lot of complaints about how short it is, and that it's not a "thrill ride," but I honestly really love it myself!
We walked towards IASW and PP now, but both still had long lines. So did HM. And then we noticed the crowds for the parade and we found a nice place to watch it that no one was at! So we set up shop, and across the way I spotted a vendor with cotton candy and popcorn! I headed over for a cotton candy and a water; by the time I got back, the parade was almost there.
My foot started hurting pretty badly from standing still for so long, and when I turned to tell mom, I noticed she wasnt looking so hot. I suggested we sit down to plan our next move, and she snapped at me. That was VERY unlike her.
Come to find out, she was feeling very awful. She didn't want to say anything, but she was in pain in her legs and her allergies were definitely starting to get the best of her. She wanted to leave, but she knew I wanted to stay.
I did not want to leave at all, but I didn't want to tell her that. She looked so miserable. So I just said we could see Wishes with our FP+ on Saturday, and that it was ok if we left - what else could I say? I didn't want her feeling terrible all night.
We headed out during Hallowishes. I was pretty upset leaving while the fireworks were going on, but I knew we had to go so I tried not to look back too much and just listen. We got on the ferry, back to the parking lot, and on the tram.
When we got back to the condo, Mom went straight to bed after taking all her allergy medication. I stayed up for a bit, watching the balloon change colors in my room next to the tv. Then I headed off to sleep as well.
The next day was Friday; we only had plans to do a short stint in HS and possibly go to DTD. We thought we'd be tired after a late night at MK for MNSSHP. I wasn't sure how our change of plans would change now that mom was starting to get very sick and the weather had changed for the better....
She did get the Olaf shirt at Hot Topic, of course! 
. I know how much you were looking forward to them both. You are a good girl to put moms needs ahead of your personal pleasure.
If it brings you the happiness that balloon brought me, it's worth it!
