My Disney Dreaming: Day 3 - 4 January 2013

Our morning to sleep in a bit! Plans are to see the Osborn Lights tonight and I know we cannot spend a whole day at HS. We had 10:15 reservations at 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian. So we took the bus to MK and hopped on the monorail and headed off to breakfast! This breakfast experience was lack luster, the food was OK, atmosphere was trying too hard to be posh and fancy, but it was just crowded and very loud. Saw Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Mary Poppins, Alice in Wonderland and Mad Hatter (he was very good, loved meeting him).

Headed back to room to change bags and drop off picture and place mat (bday gift 1900 Park Fare gave Bek). We had a very good Mousekeeper! Every day Beks dolls were doing great things and we had great towel creations (which she told us we could keep!). This is what we found today...

I guess they were tired, too!

Now off to HS. We got there about noon, so first thing was to go grab a Fastpass for ToT. I was terrified to ride it! But it was the one thing Bek kept talking about that she wanted ride it. The park was pretty crowded, and aside from seeing the Osborn Lights and riding Great Movie Ride, Star Wars, Back Lot Tour and of course ToT we did not have any plan. So we wandered in and out of stores and just around the park. Then we finally wandered towards the Great Movie Ride. I enjoy this ride, but parts of it are starting to look old. Then we headed over and did Star Tours. I was concerned about it being a 3D motion simulator and how I would handle it, but it was great! I would of loved to do it again, but we we already has Fastpasses for ToT and we just waited in StandBy for 30 min, so not this time!

Then we went to Muppet 3D (cute, good place for a rest), and then Back lot tour (Good ride for once every 5-10 years). Finally it was time to head over to ToT ...thought I was going to die. I don't remember much of the queue, or much of the ride. I do remember being freaked but thinking that no one has ever died on this ride and Bek really wants to do it...so on I went!

I LOVED it, wanted to do it again, but wait was 70 min. Once I was falling and rising I really did not feel the stomach dropping sensation I expected. I just felt motion. The anticipation was the scarey part!

Then it was time to head over to Osborn lights. They were BEAUTIFUL!
