So after our shoot was over we went back to our car. I can't remember what for but we walked back to the international gateway to enter EPCOT for the morning. As we walked through the world showcase there was a HUGE line of people with tons of vinyls! There was some sort of special trading event going on. I mean dang this line was LONG. I wish I had taken a picture of it. I had never seen anything like it before. Not even at SWW. It was about 10am by the time we got back into the park so we didn't have much time do do a whole lot before our break.
Alex and Daddy
I don't have any pics of it but we stopped at the new Starbucks because we were STARVING! We both got ham and egg pinini (sp?) sandwiches and they were delicious!! Alex even liked it.
First ride of the trip was Nemo!
Then we went to see the Characters at the Character Spot. Here are our photopass pictures from that.
I love the way Pluto signs autograph books
Alex cried when we left Character Spot. OMG he LOVES costumed characters so very much. This is such a challenge with a 2 yo that doesn't understand why he can't spend every waking moment with them
After that we rode Figment which Alex loved
We were pretty exhausted by lunch time so we decided to head back to our resort early. It was so humid on this day that the photo shoot and all that walking really took a lot out of us. We knew we had a long hike back to our car at BCR.
Here's a picture I took walking on the way out after we passed through the International Gateway.
I think we ate lunch at our resort when we got back (no pics) and took a nap. Then we headed to DHS for the Friday the 13th event. Man was this a mistake and a half! The longer we were there the more insanely crowded it got.
This is part of the line to get a voucher to get in line later to buy an event t-shirt.
We decided to ride TGMR which Alex has fallen asleep in the first two times he's ridden it but he stayed awake the whole time this time.
Then my BFF and her Dh met up with us
Once they got there we tried to find somewhere to eat for dinner. But all the CS places ran out of food!? Yeah, I'm serious here people. Everywhere we went we were told they were out of food and there were lines out the doors. They did NOT plan for this event very well. We were all very angry and grumpy. We don't deal with crowds well plus the hunger on top of it. Not a good combo. All I wanted to do was get my kid some dinner! So we decided to go to EPCOT instead. Chris and James decided to ride ST before leaving so we split up. Becca, myself and Alex went to EPCOT and they would meet us there.
Here's a picture I took on the way out of the park.
Words just cannot describe the crowd at this event. It was not fun.
We made it to EPCOT but as we got there the boys called and said they were stuck in crazy traffic so they were just going to head back to our resort since they would never make it to EPCOT before it closed.
So we took Alex on Nemo one more time since that's what he asked to do and left. We got stuck in traffic for people trying to get to DHS for an HOUR AND A HALF!!! It's litterally 2 miles from AoA to EPCOT and it took us an hour and a half. OMG we were so stressed and starving by the time we got back to AoA. I think it was about 9pm before we finally ate dinner. I cannot express the horrid planning on Disney's part for this event. Seriously, worst event ever. But despite that we had a good day.
