Another late start today, common theme with us this week. Got to the studios after 10:30 and, yes, all FP gone for TSM. Bummer, since I loved it on our last trip...but I reminded myself that we were here primarily to see the Christmas decorations and stay out late rather than get up early.
R-n-R coaster was down so we did the Great Movie Ride and the Backlot tour, I think they both need some help. Lunched at the Backlot Express, good but not great. Coaster was back up running so the boys did that while I shopped. There was no holding back on shopping this trip.
We didn't have a table service meal today, and it was a very cold and windy day, which limited our eating choices to indoor places at DHS or going back to OKW. We went back and this is when we found out there was no indoor seating for CS at OKW. So we ordered "cold" items, salads and sandwiches, and hauled them back to our room.
Figured we'd head to bed early to get a decent amount of sleep before our first day at MK.
Oh, let me throw in here the Pop Warner effect. We saw them everywhere, every day (12/4-12/11) and in every park. Wasn't expecting them to make an impact but they certainly did. And this age group isn't exactly who you want to be on a ride with or standing in line with, whenever there were 3 or more kids together, they tended to be rowdy. I would absolutely try to avoid this week if we ever come in December again.
Up next - cold and empty day in the MK! I'll take the cold any day when it means no waiting for anything!!
