Wednesday, June 9 continued…
When we awake, we decide to proceed directly to Ft. Wilderness for dinner at Trail’s End and from there to the MK for Spectromagic, Wishes and E-ride night. We hop in the car and drive over to Ft. Wilderness, park and take the bus to Pioneer Hall. Neither of us had ever been here before and I was surprised by how big it was and how nice the cabins looked! Dinner was good, not amazing but a good value for the money. During dinner it started pouring on and off. Of course, this meant a sprint through the rain back to the bus. By the time we reached the parking lot it had eased off enough to walk to the car. We drove over to the MK, parked way up in front and hopped on a monorail!
NOW it feels like we are in WDW!!
Our first stop was City Hall to exchange our E-ride tickets for bracelets and pick up a "Today is my bithday" button for me! Ok, ok so it doesn't start until midnight but close enough darn it!
The rain continued intermittently through out the night along with some thunder and lightning. We rode BTMRR and Dave, one of the CM’s sang Happy Birthday to me.
Just about every CM we saw wished me Happy Birthday! But he was the only one to sing.
After BTMRR, we staked out a spot to watch Spectromagic right at the end of parade route. The parade was delayed due to lightning but well worth the wait. (Says the person who NEVER watches parades at WDW!
) Prince Charming and Alice in Wonderland even wished me a Happy Birthday from their floats! After Spectromagic, we walked over to the walkway from Frontierland to Cinderella’s Castle where we stopped to watch Wishes. It was very emotional for me to be standing in WDW on the eve of my 30th birthday watching this amazing show with my amazing husband and knowing my fondest wish is coming true this year. Stitch and I are going to be parents!!
I admit to a few tears.
We didn’t spend much time at E-ride night due to the weather and the crowds!
I don’t know if we just hit the rides at the wrong times but there was a wait for everything. We did do Mickey’s Philharmagic, Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear before heading back to PO-FQ. I’m pretty sure I, for one, was asleep before me head hit the pillow!
Next Up: Day Two – My Birthday and Victoria & Alberts!!
