After Toothsome we hit IOA. DS3 really wanted to ride Dr. Doom Fearfall, which surprised me, but he talked about it all day. So off we went. But first, we decided to ride Spiderman. We had bad luck w/ this ride on our last trip as it broke down mid-line two out of the three times we tried to ride it so we were happy it was a fairly short wait. I do really like this ride, its long and well done.
Then next, what DS3 had been talking about all day, Fearfall. So for this ride you have to 52" and DS3 convinced me he was tall enough, so I felt really bad when it was determined that he was just shy of 52" and deemed too short to ride
But he took the news ok, maybe next year. DS1 and I had a go. It is a very neat ride. Very, very fast, but you get a great view of the park. The sun was just setting so it was a great view.
We got off this ride and spent a bit of time walking through Toon Lagoon.
Then it started raining, lightly at first, then heavier. DS1 really wanted to ride Kong as we hadn't yet so we made our way into that ride. DS3 was a bit scared of this one, but only a little bit. He did ride it and enjoyed it.
Even w/ EP the line for Kong was a bit lengthy. There are a number of hallways and you keep thinking you are getting to the ride, but nope its another hallway. DS1 jokingly said "What if this is the ride... ha, what is your worst fear at a themepark, never getting to the ride!". Anyway, we did finally get to ride it. The 3D effects are quite neat.
After this ride the boys really wanted to head back to the hotel. We walked out through the IOA side and it was neat to see Suess land at night, I'm not sure I'd ever seen it all lit up. I wanted to go see the castle lit up, but the kids were tired and we thought we could still do this tomorrow, although the boys have been talking about watching a pool side movie so perhaps we won't get to see it... we will have to see how tomorrow goes. I also thought it was cool that they had the Christmas shop all dressed up in Christmas lights
Citywalk was quite crowded when we were leaving. The boys wanted to take the boat and we were a bit unlucky when waiting as we got there just as the HRH boat was pulling out, but no worries, 8 minutes later it was right back at the dock to take us home. We only have 1 and 1/2 days left. This vacation has gone too fast.
