Planning Trip Day One Part Two

Oh how pretty...getting ready to leave for MK

We got to check out the new Barnstormer

and of course the new Dumbo Ride

Oh look how short I am

We found Captain Jack 

Really cool pic I took! So Proud :)

I even got Chris on It's a Small World because we both agreed we had not been on this ride since we were like 10!

Well our plan kinda worked…See Chris and I realized something after a measly two hours into our night at the park…we are getting OLD! At first I thought oh it’s ok we are just both tired from the car ride but honestly we felt like this all week after a couple hours into our day! ha! 

But we still had a good time and got in all the rides we wanted to. I missed riding thunder mountain and space mountain but my weak stomach keeps me from ruining my day by riding these bad boys now. 

From what I remember I wasn’t feeling too great anyway so Chris decided to eat at Pecos Bills. Which took FOREVER by the way but that was ok with me. He tried the pulled pork which is to my understanding new to this location and of course he loved it. You can always win him over with BBQ even when he has to stand in a 30 minute line for it while listening to the crappy Spectromagic parade music. Just Kidding...well actually it is kinda crappy.

We enjoyed just sitting and talking and listening to all the parents yell at their kids around 10 at night when they should instead be taken back to the hotel to sleep. :) But of course while sitting there watching chris eat I started feeling hungry myself. I know I know…why would you stand in a 30 minute line for food to just go somewhere else and stand in another line for 30 minutes to get even more food. Why can’t you eat at the same place you ask? Well I had a hankering for Cosmic Ray’s. So we headed over to Cosmic Ray’s and this is where I came across a great idea I continued to use our entire trip to save me money. I wasn’t that hungry and did not feel up to eating much so I ordered a kids meal.

I ordered a gluten free turkey sandwich off the kids menu. Apparently the kids meals at Disney come with two sides. This time I got a side of fries and a gluten free brownie. But I discovered that if you use both of your side options for fries it is the same portion as an adult meal! Actually it might be a bit bigger. So all of you Disney Foodies who like saving money keep that in mind for your trips. It comes in handy when a regular adult meal totals between $9-14 and a kids meal at dinner averages at $6!!!! Score!

We stopped at the Main Street Bakery for Chris to have his second dessert of the night after a mediocre chocolate cake at Pecos, and then we walked back to Bay Lake hand in hand. Great end to the night! 

Except….it was only 12…We still had two more hours of EMH…that’s what I meant by the plan kinda working
