Day 2, August 04
An early morning and an early
night - Part 2
There were several available and
when we sat down we were surprised to see that it had started to
rain.
Well, not quite rain, it was
pouring down.
So we took our sweet time to
enjoy our lunch. We had ordered a cup of
New England Clam Chowder and the
Battered Fish Plate served with
coleslaw and french fries. And after we had eaten we checked our
messages and posted some photos until the rain had subsided.
We headed out again into the
sunshine and walked right onto our first FP+ of the day, Peter Pan’s
Flight.
The regular line was pretty long
and so was the FP line, but it moved quickly and we were soon flying
over London. When we got off it was already time to head over to the
next FP of the day, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Again, we were so
lucky to be in the FP line as the regular line was over an hour long.
Tom asked for last row again and
we were granted our wish and soon found ourselves laughing as we
rode that fun runaway mine train.
We still had quite some time
left until our next ride, so we started strolling towards Pecos
Bill, but then decided to head up to the train as it was just
rolling in.
I didn’t think we would make it
on that train, but we did and with a little time to spare, but soon
we were on our way to Fantasyland.
When we got off we strolled
through the Big Tent, watched people ride Dumbo and then finally
walked over to the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
We really enjoyed the
convenience of the FP, and again were on the ride within just a few
minutes. Once we got off the ride we decided to leave the park for
now. But not without a ride on our favourite ride, the People Mover.
And this time it was up and running and we enjoyed our trip around
Tomorrowland.
After that we returned to our
room, relaxed for some time and then went to our car to go and do
some shopping.
First off we went to Walgreens
for some medications we needed and our next stop was Publix. We
stocked up on beers and soft drinks and some staple food items and a
few things we still needed for the fish extender on the cruise.
While we were inside Publix the skies had turned grey again and we
headed straight back to our resort after finishing our shopping.
Luckily we made it to our room
without getting wet. We were both pretty tired, so after putting
away our groceries we took a short nap. When we got up again we
could see that it had been raining again and by now it was time for
dinner. We put our groceries out on the table, made some salad and
had some sandwiches.
We even shared a small slice of
cake for dessert. Tired as we were we thought about ditching the FP
that we had been able to score earlier that day, a FP for Big
Thunder Mountain Railroad. But then we knew that we wanted to ride
it again, so we got dressed, put on our Magic Bands and this time
without any bags headed over to the Magic Kingdom. We walked right
over to Big Thunder Mountain, passed all the people in the standby
line, got on and had a blast while riding this fun ride.
Once we got off, we strolled
right towards the exit again, waved goodbye to the castle for the
day and went right back to our hotel room. We were both dead tired
and decided that it was time to catch up on much needed sleep,
especially since the next day we wanted to be at the Magic Kingdom
for Morning Extra Magic Hours and lateron meet with our friend
Michelle, her daughter Angelina and Hannah, Michelle’s son’s
girlfriend.
