January 30th:
We got the kids up and moving and I headed into Hollywood Studios with the kids after a quick breakfast of left over pizza.
Heather stayed at the hotel to get laundry done and have a bit of a relax but the kids and I were on a mission to make sure we hit Star Tours since we hadn’t gotten it done earlier in the week.
We walked over and even though it was cool it was still a sunny morning – so it was a nice walk. It is nice when I can spend some time with the kids when we don’t all have our noses buried in electronics!
After we got through security we went immediately to Star Tours – it indicated a 20 minute wait but it took less than that to get through the line.
We decided to ride again even though it said there was now a 25 minute wait. It took less than that again.
Next was Muppets 3D before grabbing some lunch and heading out of the park.
Once we made it back to the hotel we stopped at the laundry room and helped Heather bring the clothes up to the room.
After a bit of a rest we got ready and took the bus to Magic Kingdom.
We wanted to see if we could find our daughter’s glasses so we took the monorail to TTC (whoohoo – whole car to ourselves!) and walked to the lost and found area. The guy working there seemed a bit out of it and couldn’t find the glasses.
We hopped the monorail back to Magic Kingdom and asked at the Town Hall guest services and they didn’t have anything so they suggested checking at the ride, just in case.
After that we still had some time so we decided to check out the Sorcerers of Magic Kingdom game for the first time. We got the run through from the cast member and our first set of cards. We got part way through the game before we decided we had to stop to get to our fast pass.
We went and used our Space Ranger spin fast pass and then walked up to the People Mover. It looked like they had just had to stop the ride and after waiting for a while we decided we couldn’t wait anymore.
We were just heading out of Tomorrowland when they got People Mover working again but we continued on to Cinderella’s Castle for our dining reservation at Cinderella’s Royal Table.
After getting checked in we went in we had a short wait and managed to quickly grab a pic of 3 little princesses dressed as Cinderella all waiting for supper.
We got our pictures taken with Cinderella and had a short wait until we were called up to the restaurant.
We had a great meal, good food, great service, had the 4 princesses visit the table and got pictures. Had some champagne too.
After the fun supper, we wandered out to check at Barnstormer to see if they had K’s glasses. The Cast Members described their nightly and daily routine and it sure made it sound that they would not have missed the glasses in the pouch. We resolved to go back to TTC lost and found and hope a different cast member was there.
We let the kids ride the ride and they were supper excited to get front row.
Then we went and watched Wishes from the bridge area between Be Our Guest and Gaston’s.
We then went and rode the Ariel ride twice back to back.
After that we did Philharmagic and ended with Peter Pan.
Then a walk out to the buses and the ride back to the hotel. Bus to Magic Kingdom had been direct for Boardwalk but at the end of the night they were running the 5 Boardwalk area resorts together. Still was fairly quick to get back to the hotel.
We checked out the main store before heading back to the room to relax and unwind.
