Super Bowl Sunday was not spent watching the Super Bowl in our family. Instead, we spent our day at the happiest place on earth. Super Bowl...Happiest Place on Earth...which would you choose? One sounds like a really big soup entree, and the other sounds...like the happiest place on earth. lol.
We went to church at 9:00 and then left for the DL Resort around 12:00. We got to the parking structure around 12:30/12:40. The lines to pay were soo long. Someone's car broke down along the way, so maybe that held it up a little. We got through and parked in Donald. Lots of empty parking spaces.
Tram lines were also very long. The elevator line was enormous, and there were actually lines for the escalator. I was expecting a very crowded day.
We got on the tram and decided to go to DCA first, because the DL was way too long for the surprisingly nice heat. We got in, got FastPasses for GRR, and found a way to spend our time. I'd never been to the Tortilla or Sourdough Bread factory, so we did that. I must say, I would have spent the whole day getting free food. x) It was pretty cool.
Then we went to Paradise Pier and watched two of the members of our party ride Maliboomer. We went to get Ice Cream but the machine was broken, so that was a no go.
Okay, get this, we ran into someone!! In all the crowds, we actually ran into my cousin. I was so surprised. I bought a headband (brown with white polka dots, if you want to know. =]) at that store right next to Maliboomer. Then we waited in line for Sun Wheel because we didn't know what else to do. It was my first time riding in a non-swinging gondola. It was okay, I guess. Sort of boring.
By then it was time for GRR. Fun, of course. It felt much rockier than last time I went. A few people didn't want to go so a few of us went on twice.
Then we left for DL after grabbing some soda and churros.
First thing we did was...oh my goodness, can't remember. It was only, like, two hours ago...
Ugh. I hate it when I can't remember.
Okay, I think this is how it went (I had to consult my list of attractions first. x)). We got fastpasses for BTMR. While waiting we checked out the Disney Gallery for the first time. It was pretty cool. We stood out on the balcony and admired the view. I heard about being able to watch Fantasmic! from there, so one of us asked. 59 bucks per person, including a whole meal and stuff. Pretty rad. But you had to reserve 30 days in advanced. Next time. =]
Then we went to Tarzan's tree house. It's changed since I last went on it about 5 years ago. x) The tiger/lion type animal freaked me out. And the stairs were making my legs hurt. But it was pretty rad.
So I went on BTMR for the first time ever, well, for me at least. A few of the other people had gone on it. Let me just say, after, my head hurt like heck. x) But it was funnnnn!!
We finished off with Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, and to my unhappiness, Snow White's Scary Adventures. I hate that ride. I'm a scaredy cat. And it had the word 'SCARY' in it. Duh.
I think we lost a few easy points when I refused to ride it during MouseAdventure. I'm a whimp. x)
Then we ate dinner at that place where the tables are in front of Fantasmic. Can't remember the title.
And now I'm home. x) Fun day.
Crowds were actually not too bad. The lines were intimidating, though. =]
