This morning would bring another attempt at actually being inside a park for extra magic hour, this time from 7am-8am. At least that was my demand hint the night before.
Putting your foot down!
Tentatively.
We again tried a light breakfast of muffins in the room
Tried? How did you do? Some get in your mouth?
if not for the insane trek through Constructionland
oooooh.... A new land! This sounds exciting!
that’s after you’ve successfully driven your car through Parking Wars: Traffic Cone’s Edge

@kastoney whose TR title I totally ripped that little joke off from
Thievery! I shouldn't have laughed!
@kastoney, I'm laughing at
your wit.
Jeff's only got about half of that.
We had a whole 3 minutes to enjoy Extra Magic Hour.
You made it!!!
Um...
If you do it right, 3 minutes should be enough for anyone.
Sure!
You could bang out all the headliners in that time.
Why are you stopping for a photo! You only have 3 minutes!!!!
We were all excited to try Slinky Dog Dash and didn’t want to wait until our FP later in the week.
Of course.
I always look at FP as my backup plan to rope drop... and as a way to look smug in front of all the people waiting in line.
The stand by wait was 45 minutes, which we felt was reasonable.
Not long at all for that ride.
Although it was only after 8:00am, the sun was already brutally hot and there’s not much shade in that queue.
Ew... Too soon.
Looks like two of your party have succumbed to the heat.
I think the coaster itself is more enjoyable than 7DMT (but not as immersive in theming obviously) and it comes a very close 2nd to my favourite ride, BTMRR.
Really!! Whoa! Can't wait to try it out in... just under 6 months.
A note on the Slinky Dog ride pictures – they are annoying. You seem to get just about everyone in your train multiple times, often other than yourselves. Only mine and Katie’s pic showed up this particular time. The picture itself is a bit out of focus. Hopefully it will improve over time.
Unfortunate.
Cute shot and... kinda really liking the headband.
I wanted to try the offerings at Woody’s Lunch Box.
Thought you might.
But...
My Breakfast Bowl was OK. A little too salty and onion-y for my liking, but OK.
Ah. I'm not a fan of "potato barrels"... fancy word for tater tots, I guess. I like real hash browns or pan fries. Those taste... processed.
Side note: had I paid for a dining plan, this would have been a terrible use of a meal credit since they are only $7.99 and $8.49; reason #27 why the dining plan doesn’t work for us.
Totally get that.
"Wow! That looks good! Can we eat that?"
"No. It's not a good use of our credits."
Coming out of TSL, we were walking towards Launch Bay and the thought crossed my mind to go there since I am a Star Wars fan.
Makes sense.
Problem is the girls are not, at all, zero interest.
Are you
sure they're yours?
I’m just going to spill the beans now. I didn’t go to Launch Bay. Ever. Not once during the entire trip.
Too bad. Some interesting stuff in there.
I don’t know why. I’m a little disappointed, but I got over it.
I know why. Because you're a good dad.
The other thing we passed by was the Little Mermaid show. Brianna of course wanted to see it, so we did.
Guessed that one, right.
There were florescent fish. There was a giant Ursula. I don’t have much else to say about it.
Yep. I've seen it once. That was enough.
One thing we wanted to do today was meet Olaf. Brianna was doing a bit of Disney bounding today and had worn a blueish shirt and a single braid, so an Olaf meet was definitely on the menu.
So we headed that way and only had about a 15 minute wait.
Not too bad.
Since we were on that side of the park, and having no real plan, I floated the idea of the Indiana Jones show.
Huh. Missed that one... and I'm a bit surprised. Should have thought of it.
I put my hand up when they called, but didn’t get picked.
Darn.
I wanted to be taking off clothing
Thanks for that image that I now can't get out of my head.
But I realized then how dated this show is.
Oh? Too bad.
It also feels much longer than I remember (of course it is actually about 45 minutes).
I forgot it was that long! Whoa.
Maybe it’s time to bring Indy to Animal Kingdom, do the overlay of the Dinosaur ride and bulldoze Dinoland for an Indiana Jones land that might actually make sense in AK.
That's.... actually a pretty good idea.
I’m happy to say that I had my first DISDad meet up with Tim
Yay! DISmeet! Great!
I don’t like it enough to stand in the middle of Hollywood Studios in the blazing midday sun and slowly melt like the dude from Indiana Jones when they opened the Arc.
Pretty accurate description.
We had a special supper planned that evening so we didn’t want to spoil our appetites.
Hmmm... Wonder where.
1. We change parks again after our afternoon break. Which park? (hint: let’s see how closely you’ve been paying attention. There’s one park we haven’t been to yet. I’m lobbing slow balls at you folks.)
Epcot
2. You’ve hopefully figured out which park. We have an ADR – a special ADR for Katie’s birthday supper – which restaurant?
Hmmm... Le Cellier
3. We have three FP this evening. What are the FP and how many of the three do we use?
SE, Soarin, MS
4. I go on the hunt for a snack this evening. What is that snack?
Cronut
