Friday: Last Day in the Parks
Feb. 21st, 2020 11:00 pmLast day in the parks!
Amazing morning. We got up, had breakfast, walked over to DCA. Lines were fine. I got an 8:40 FP for Guardians, and it had a short line so we walked over to standby it then FP it. While there, I realized the mystery replacement FP was in fact from last night’s missed Soarin. So after two rounds of Guardians (we got two new songs: Parliament’s Who’s Got the Funk and whoever that does Free Ride — that was the worst by far. Parliament is better than everything but Steppenwolf), we did standby on Monsters Inc because the line was short. Then we rode Soarin. This all happened within the first 2 hours the park was open.
We sat on a bench and poked at phone/ipad. We saw JJNK in line for Soarin from our bench — that was pretty cool. We decided to just hang out, and then go into Grand Californian and have lunch at the Hearthstone Lounge when it opened at 11. She had grilled cheese and fries; I had a manhattan, an iced tea, and a pepperoni pizza. It was awesome. Then we ubered back to the hotel and hung out there for a few hours. I had an FP for 3:40 with dinner at 5 at Storytellers Cafe.
The FP was for the cars ride. R. joined us on it — it had been down a couple hours just before, but was up for us. I forgot to get A.’s hat and she lost it on the ride. Ooops. We walked over to the shop by the Inside Out ride and bought another copy of the exact same hat. Then we arrived 20 minutes early for dinner.
Dinner was great. We hugged JJNK goodbye and walked back. We packed up and brushed our teeth and got ready for bed. Really nice last day. We even stopped and did pin trading on the walk back.
