We tried to take pictures by the 50th flower spot in front of the train station but there were just too many people. Oh well. It is very pretty, though. So we walked down to Tomorrowland and rode the Astro Orbitors. Then off to SpaceM for FP’s.

    Next we went over to Fantasyland and rode the Matterhorn. Then to Storybook Land Canal Boats. This is such a sweet ride. However, we had a family that spent the whole time throwing crackers over the edge to the ducks and we really didn’t get to enjoy the CM’s spiel.

    Off to It’s a Small World next. Had a great trip there and then over to Toon Town. We rode Gadget’s coaster twice and walked around enjoying the scenery. The crowds were pretty light at this time. Rode Roger Rabbit and toured Goofy’s house.

    Next we walked around to Critter Country and got FP’s for Splash. Back to NOS and took the train to Main Street. We then walked to DCA.

    In DCA we grabbed FP for Soarin’ and walked over to Tower of Terror. The line was very short so we rode twice! Next we walked around and stopped for the Drawn to Animation show. Matt got picked to go up on stage and he loves to perform! We stayed to say Hi to Mickey after the performance and then over to Monster’s Inc. for a ride.

    Next we decided we were getting hungry so off to Pilot’s Grill. We had cheeseburgers there and they were pretty good. Afterwards we went over to Soarin’. I knew this was probably our last time on this and of course I was ready for a great time. Unfortunately, sat right next to a family that talked the whole way through the ride. And they talked Loudly! Anyway, it is still my favorite ride in DCA. We walked over to see Season’s of the Vine movie but it was closed. I’ve yet to see that. We then just walked around a little and decided to head back to DL.

    Once in DL we rode the Main Street Fire Engine down and the Horse Trolley back up. We were the last ones on as they put the trolley up after that to start getting ready for the parade. We strolled through some shops on Main Street and then walked down to Plaza Gardens. We sat and played cards for awhile. Matt ran for FP for BTMRR. We finally decided to head to NOS and watched the boostrappers. Then we wanted a little snack so went to Adventureland and got Dole Whips and walked over to Tomorrowland. SpaceM was closed so stoped into Pizza Port for bottled water (I love their lemon flavored water) and Matt decided to have a slice of Pizza (can you say bottomless pit?). Walked around Tomorrowland and then over to Plaza Gardens for another game of cards and finished our water.

    Over to SpaceM again and rode. Then headed for NOS and pirates was closed so we rode Splash and by then we were tired and decided we wanted to watch Fantasmic! So to the Rivers of America and found a perfect spot where we threw our beach towel down and spent a couple hours playing cards and laughing. The show was perfect. I was a little squished by show time, however, because we made the mistake of sitting next to a rope and as the show started a bunch of people shoved under the rope and we lost what little extra space we had. When the show was over we waited for the fireworks but they got cancelled. So we jumped up and hit the line for Pirates with it only being about a 10 minute wait.
    Next we rode BTMRR and then walked over to Tomorrowland and rode SpaceM again.

    A busy, fun day and it was over. Back to the CCI we walked.
