We started on Space mountain while my sister took Nathan to get FP for Splash and ride HM. We then met over at Splash but we didn't use them yet because it was basically a walk on. The older boys wanted to ride it again, but I was wet enough so David took them while my sister and I took Nathan on Pooh. We wandered around bit and then the boys wanted to wait for Billy Hill- they have seats they really like so they wanted to be in front of the line to ensure they got them. We decided to get food from the Stage door cafe ( I think that is what it is called). The chicken is a much better deal than the fish. My sister didn't have much time before she had to leave so we got Buzz FP and then went and watched the Disneyland history thing that is where Mr. Lincoln used to be. That was very interesting and enjoyable. My sister then had to leave and we went back to the hotel to rest. My middle 2 boys had stayed the past 2 nights with my sister at her hotel and they were particulary cranky- I don't know how late she let them stay up! we then went to Character warehouse but didn't find much we were interested in this time. We then went into DCA. We were going to get Soarin FP but they were all out. We decided to eat an early dinner ( 4:30) and decided to try Taste Pilot's. We haven't eaten there much in the past. We thought the food at WWS was much better and cheaper. While I was getting dinner, David ran and got Screamin FP. After dinner, the 2 middle boys really wanted everybody to ride GRR. This took some convincing and bribing- they had to buy Nathan a churro to agree to ride. It was cold outside and I was not looking forward to it. Luckily we had ponchos and didn't get too wet. We then were going to ride Monster's Inc, but the line was too long so we went to Muppets. After that we went to the Crush show and the boys really enjoyed that. David then took the older 3 to Screamin while Nathan and I did all of Flik's Fun Fair. Since Nathan and I weren't using our FPs, David and Sam (DS 9) rode it 2x. By that time, DCA was closing. We went over to DL and finally used our Buzz FP. Nathan really wanted to "beat" whoever was riding with him so I had to be very careful to make sure my score stayed under his. I accidentally shot some high scoring target and was ahead of him. I had to pretend to shoot and pray he would hit enough targets to beat my score. Luckily, he finally did. It was 8:30 pm by then and Nathan was pooped. Once again, he had been able to make it during the morning hours walking, and rode in his stroller in the afternoon. But he has only rested a bit at the hotel in the afternoons without really falling asleep. We still had Splash FPs left from the morning. Tucker ( DS 13) decided he would go back to the hotel with me and Nathan. David took the other 2 to Splash. Our hope was to get everybody to bed early. We are wanting to use our Early Entry tomorrow and we will not all survive unless the middle 2 boys get some extra sleep! After Splash, David took them to walk on HM- they were slowed down trying to make it through the Fireworks crowd and didn't make it back to the hotel until about 9:45pm. They are finally all showered and snoozing ( Nathan has been asleep for quite a while). Now I am keyed up and don't feel tired. I guess I should try and get some sleep or I'll be the cranky one tomorrow.
