walkitoutR. dropped us all off at Epcot yesterday, and dropped A. and I off today a little before 9. As with yesterday, they let us in before official open. T. took the bus over, got on the bus more than an hour before open, arrived in lots of time and was allowed to do some rides before open. Kinda cool?
Since A. and I walked in right when they were officially opening the queue for Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, our wait to get on was maybe 20 minutes, possibly less. Very fun! It is very reminiscent of Efteling’s Symbolica in a variety of ways, but especially the pink ballroom where Daisy is teaching us how to dance. Very fun! Excellent refurbishment of the space.
I had woken up early to get a boarding group, so we have now done Rise of the Resistance on both coasts! Super exciting. We were group 49 this time, and got on and off before noon. We did Toy Story Mania (formerly Midway Mania) between the railway and Rise, and then we went to Black Spire Outpost and got a Ronto Wrap (allergy friendly version) and a coke so we could sit down in a shady area with fans. It was awesome. A. seemed to think the pork tenderloin was actually chicken and I didn’t bother to correct her a second time. I had to wipe the slaw and peppercorn sauce off it because she objects to mayo, but she was also willing to try some of the sausage / hot dog / tube of pork and spices. I’ll see if there is a way to order it without sauce; I think she would eat an entire one herself if so.
We came back after Rise, because we are wimps and it got pretty warm. We have a dinner reservation at City Works Brewery and Pour House at Disney Springs. She had some apple slices, carrot sticks and celery bites with saltines and peanut butter (she has discovered she loooooooves Jif. Sigh. I tried! But natural is not what this kid likes, apparently).
ETA: City Works was phenomenal. A. had the kids grilled cheese. T. had a plain hamburger and fries. He had the sundae; A. had the snickers peanut butter pie (R. finished it). I tried to order fish tacos, but the cole slaw there has dairy, so no good for that or numerous other options; I had the kung pao cauliflower with added chicken and it was amazing. I had a couple burnt orange old fashioneds. R. had some build your own beer flight. I would go back every night for the rest of our stay except we have other reservations and so forth. Highly recommend; our server was Christian and he was super helpful with complicated dietary constraints.
