Sam’s annual pass expires March 15th so we had to sneak in one more trip.
We did the usual – leave at 6am on Monday and drive home on Tuesday after Day 2 at the park.
Here are a few highlights:
- New things we did with the boys: Tiki Room, Pirates Ship by Tom Sawyer Island, Shot the guns by Thunder Mountain, Talking with Crush show, Sorcerers Workshop, Steamboat Willie Cinema to watch black & white Mickey Mouse movies and they met Jake.
- Nate rode Space Mountain for the first time & he decided he does in fact like the River Ride.
- In the Sorcerer’s Workshop, they ask you a bunch of questions and they tell you what Disney character you’re most like. Nate was Mufasa. Ryan was Scar. We thought that was fitting – especially because they’re brothers in Lion King, too!
- Ryan was so brave on our last trip – he loved Splash Mountain, Toon Town Rollercoaster, Pirates, etc. He went on them this trip but didn’t like any of the above. That was a bummer.
- We ate quite a few pretzels with cheese. Ryan was proud he stole the last piece of Aunt Sam’s.
- It’s a good thing Aunt Sam was there to take Nate on the bigger rides. Ryan was my little buddy.
- Nate has perfected his Autopia driving skills.
- When we were at the cabin, Sam promised Nate she would take him to the grocery store to buy one of those ridiculous toys in the quarter machines. But then Nate saw that you could get a flattened Toy Story penny and asked her if they could get that instead. So they did. And we warned him he was going to lose his Zurg penny but he didn’t listen. And of course he lost it. Sam was nice enough to get him one more and then he lost it in the car on our drive home. He did manage to talk me in to a key chain that says “Nathan” so at least he left with something.
- Ryan was about to get a key chain that said “Ryan” until he found a Mickey ice cream scoop. He really wanted that thing to “be like his dad” so I caved and got it.
- On Monday, Nate & Ryan didn’t get along all day. We had to separate them in line, etc. Then at 6pm, while we were in line for Dumbo, Nate completely switched personalities and decided he wanted to be overly nice to Ryan. He was thinking up games to play in line, holding him when he was tired . . . it was fabulous and baffling all at the same time!
- The fireworks show was great. Ryan is afraid of fireworks so I had to watch it from inside a restaurant window but still fabulous. The music was from the rides – loved it!
Disney was a little too crowded for my liking this go around. Monday wasn’t too bad but Tuesday afternoon was rather nuts. We’ll wait until all of the spring breakers are done before we go for one final trip!
