We got back to the hotel Saturday night and the kids were asking if we were doing Epcot on Sunday. We told them that we didn't have time to do Epcot this trip. That it was just going to be a short weekend because they had to go back to school on Monday. Of course, I was lying to them. We had our reservations for LeCellier on Monday for lunch. We wanted to let them think they got an extra day when we told them Sunday night...more on how that unfolded in a bit.
Since we got to HS later in the day on Saturday, we decided to go back there in the morning. Of course, we let the kids choose between DTD or HS. For them, it is a no brainer. Off to HS we went. My DD7 wanted to see the High School Musical 2 show and the kids wanted to do Playhouse Disney. I wanted to ride the Rock N' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror. Single rider line in the Rock N' Roller Coaster is great. Never waited more than 5 minutes and got to ride it 3 times. I used our 4 tickets for Fastpasses to Tower of Terror and rode that 4 times. Not that the lines were long anyway. But, I would rather wait 5 minutes than 20-30. Well, the wait times said 20-30, but, they looked more like 15-20 to me. We have a meeting point in between the two rides when the family splits up like this for when they get done with their show. The kids decided they didn't want to do the Beauty and the Beast Show, so we decided to head on over to TSMM to see if it was open. As luck would have it, it had just opened up and the line hadn't really gotten too big yet. About a 10 minute wait. So we rode it again.
Here is a picture from the front of the ride going into the first shooting gallery.
It was lunch time, so, we grabbed a quick bite to eat, turkey leg for me. Did the rest of the rides that we wanted to do and told the kids it was time to head home. As we were leaving, Prince Caspian had just come out. Anything to avoid leaving!
Of course, I took a wrong turn and headed north towards the MK instead of south to the Turnpike. Yes, it was planned. I looked at the DW and said to her, "Oops, I made a wrong turn towards the MK instead of heading home. I don't feel like turning around, should we just go to MK instead?" Of course, she didn't get a chance to answer, the kids decided that would be the best course of action...quite loudly I may add. I then said, "I think I would be too tired to drive home now anyway, want to just stay another day? This way we can go to Epcot tomorrow." Another resounding response from the peanut gallery in the back seat. Well, to say the spirits were rejuvenated would be a gross understatement. 5 minutes ago, they thought we were heading home. Now they knew they were going to the MK, with EMH, open to 1 AM and doing Epcot tomorrow.
