Re: Nokey's 9 Days of Christmas Cheer in WDW!
Day 2:
We woke early and headed straight over to HS. We wanted to try and ride Toy Story Mania, and the guys wanted to ride Tower of Terror, and Aerosmith! The skies were cloudy but the weather was calling for scattered am showers! We went directly over to Toy Story and they were already out of Fast Passes by 10 am and the stand by line was a 70 minute wait! There was no way we could even attempt it, oh well, we figured we would try again later! Headed over to catch some breakfast at ‘Starring Roles Café’. Chris ran to get fast passes for TOT and RNRR. After breakfast we ran over and watched the Beauty and the Beast show, which my girls love. Then the guys ran over and got right on TOT while we waited in the Aerosmith area and got the kids tattoos (Kailey got Princess Minnie, Ashley got Ariel surrounded in flowers and we couldn’t resist getting Justin the dwarf “Happy”, he is such a good baby, and rarely ever fusses, he practically wears a smile on a permanent basis! They all looked so adorable!!!
The guys came back from TOT and Chris and Bry were going to ride RNRR first then we would use the baby swap for Chris and I (Em doesn’t ride roller coasters) I, but the ride was down. They said that we could come back and use the fast passes again all day! Oh well, but just then the sky began to open up and it began pouring. We ran into the Planet Hollywood store and sought shelter. We remained there for 45 minutes or so and then the rain broke (for all of two minutes) and we ran to a new shelter for a change of scenery! It seemed all of the park guests were doing the same exact thing! At the next slow down of rain we ran to a new shelter and decided to dial up the weather channel on our blackberry and the days weather had changed to rain all day. At that time we decided to exit the park and head back to the hotel. We cancelled our late lunch reservations for Mama’s. Bryan and Emily were going to head to ESPN to catch a football game and we had to head to Wal-Mart to get stuff we would need for our remaining 9 days.
We bean to try to exit the park and Chris got the bright idea to go and get the car and come and pick us up so we wouldn’t have to break down the stroller to get on the tram, pop it out again and run to the car, etc… Well, a word to the wise, can’t do it! He could not get that close, parking attendants made him exit the park and by the time he was back in the parking lot there was not a dry piece of clothing on any of us, we were down a man and still had to break the stroller down, board the tram, and run to the car. If it weren’t so funny we would have cried! Ashley, my Diva, sobbed from the moment I made her exit the rain guarded stroller until we got her into a nice warm bath back into the hotel room!
Anyways we got into dry clothes and threw in a wash (thank God for the washer/dryers in the rooms) and headed to Downtown Disney to catch a quick dinner at Earl of Sandwich! It was as good as ever. We ran to Wal-Mart, and the Liquor store and picked up Bryan and Emily and back to the hotel. We put the kids to bed and then hung out and enjoyed some wine and cheese and some good company and planned our upcoming day!!!!!
