This update may be kinda short... feeling really tired...
I left you with my heading to lunch. I knew exactly what I was going to eat that day. I'd been wanting to give it a try ever since my first visit to the Dinseyland side of the disboards... But in order to have the item I craved so badly I had to get to the restaurant..
I left DCA and crossed to DL. I figured I would take the train to New Orleans Square and save a few steps on my feet. As I waited for the train I started talking to two people also waiting for the train. They were from So Cal and come to DL frequently. We chitchatted a bit and I explained I was on a solo trip. Finally the train arrived in NOS and I disembarked to head to Cafe Orleans. As I was putting my name in to get a table. I turned aaround and the people I had been talking with on the train were behind me (they were going to take the train to tomorrowland so I was shocked to see them.) They said they didn't feel anyone should be at DL by themselves and did I want to hang out with them. I said sure but I HAD to eat... I was STARVING! So I got the girls cell phone # so I could text her when I was done.
So they went to hang out and I waited for my table. I was seated pretty quickly and promptly ordered what I had been craving! The Monte Cristo! I really wanted the Pomme Frites but I was on a budget and didn't think I could finish it all anyways.
So a short wait later I had the Monte Cristo in front of me.
And a short time later I had this in front of me...
Can we say delicious!!
I can't believe I ate the whole thing! I was FULL but it was so worth every bite!!
So I had finished my meal and had texted Meghan to let her know I was done so we met up outside the restaurant.
Since they had planned to go to Tomorrowland to ride Space Mountain we headed back to the train... but they weren't running it at that moment so we decided to walk over that way... but we stopped by Indiana Jones to go on an Adventure.
There was pretty much no wait so after we enjoyed our ride we headed over to Tomorrowland... only to find out that Space Mountain was temporarily closed.... So it was a different coaster then... The Matterhorn! (But apparently I didn't get a picture!) The wait for the Matterhorn was about 10 minutes.
After sledding down the mountain we walked through Fantasyland but didn't ride anything else there. We kinda meandered around and ended up at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad... Were we of course took a ride on the wildest ride in the wilderness!
After that fun time we found our way to Splash Mountain were there was absolutely no wait and we had a log to just the three of us. The trip through was fun and they were telling me that they always do different faces or poses for the photo at the drop and they practice what they are going to do as they go along. I think for the first ride we all just made a silly face. As our log came to the exit point the CM's asked if we wanted to go again. Well of course! We weren't soaked yet! So on the second trip the girl was squeeling everytime the log rocked a little. So the guy and I decided we would really make it rock... The next thing you know we here a voice coming out of a log on the side saying "Please don't rock the logs for your safety" so we stopped. But I guess it's true... they have camera's everywhere! We finally settled on pretending we were sleeping when it came time for the big drop... Do you know how hard it is to keep your eyes shut knowing you are dropping?
Since we only went on it the 2 times I was able to snap the picture of us "sleeping"
By now I was starting to get a little chilled so I wanted to head to DCA to get my fleece out of the locker... The people I was with while they had AP's they mainly stuck to DL and in fact the guy had NEVER been to DCA. So I said we had to go! Apparently neither one are much for Thrill Rides but the girl had said she was willing to try ToT! So I got to ride it again... The guy rode as well...
but apparently he didn't want his picture taken...
After that we headed to Paradise Pier where I was hoping we would all ride California Screamin' together... Since it is such a smooth coaster I thought we could talk the guy into riding but he was haivng none of it. He goes I am not going on a coaster with a loop... but the girl wanted to ride so we did! And she loved it! She tried to get him to go on with us a second time but it wasn't going to happen.
And unfortunately there were people blocking the photo display so I didn't get a picture of that either...
By this time they were ready to call it a night and I had to go claim my spot for the WoC.
Was this WoC experience going to be better than my first one... stay tuned till next time to find out!
Shocking I know! Instead I headed to the Candy Palace. Why you ask?!? Because they were making Candy Canes and I was hoping against all hope to get a ticket. Was I lucky? No! Lol. Oh well. It was worth a shot. At this point it was not quite 9am so I found my way to the rope to wait for rope drop. I knew I wanted to head to Space Mountain to ride it without Ghosts. So i lined up on the right side. Now one thing I discovered being solo was it was very easy to find an opening for just one person so I found myself right behind the rope.
