Day 3! Here we go! I slept in. I think I left at like 10:30am. Oh the beauty of solo travel. I didn't order any food and ate a bit of the food I brougtht - peaunt butter tortillas, dried mango, almonds. And I did all my supplements. Hauled them all with. And did the dang thing. I did do lightning pass for the day so I did have times I needed to be in Hollywood Studios but it was an easy morning, chilling and getting ready. First, fit check. Then I headed to the Skyliner which was SO dang close. Like I can't tell you how close it was. THen it was off we go! I was a little worried about getting on at Riviera where no one gets off, but it was easy peasy. Probably because I was riding at such an odd time. Tower of Terror was my first ride of the day. I screwed up again though and put Tower of Terror and Rock n Roller Coaster an hour apart. It's just super awkward because they're both SO far away from basically everything else, so I got my steps in going across the park so many times lol. Oh well.
What's next? Oh yeah, I walked all the way across the park to go watch the Muppets. I think I'm going to be sad to see this go. It's definitely old, but it's such a classic. So I'll probably go to this every time until it's last day. I walked around Muppets plaza a bit because I've never really paid attention to the back area, but I did this time! Then I went and grabbed a fast lunch at the Backlot Express. And then walked all the way BACK over to Rock n Roller Coaster. Someday I'll get the ordering right. But it wasn't today! lol. I stopped and took some photos with the Christmas tree and dinosaur. And then went...all the way back across the park again. LOL. This was the one thing I kind of regretted just from an ordering & planning of the day perspective, but oh well. I booked Rise of the Resistance since I had finally made it through all the Star Wars movies! Still have most of the tv series to watch, but I could actually appreciate Star Wars land this time around which was pretty exciting.
Then I headed to Toy Story land. I don't think I've ever paid attention to the Pixar ball so I went to see that. Then went to look in the store at the end of Toy Story Mania. I was REALLY hoping to find the new Jessie ears but they hadn't made their way to Disney World yet. Still hoping for that. I got to watch the Green Army Men Drum Corp march through with Woody and Jessie. Honestly that's one of my favorite things. Not really sure why I'm having a love afair with Jessie since she was "just a character" when the movies first came up but here we are. I got to watch the Walt movie at Walt Disney Presents. I swear I love all the history and could spend an hour reading and looking every time I go. But alass, on we go. Next I headed back to Star Wars land (can we say back and forth yet?!). I grabbed a snack at Docking Bay - blueberry corn muffin and crispy herbed yuca. Super good. I hadn't actually been in Docking Bay so it was on my todo list. It was pretty neat though not enough seating for me. Especially when it rains. Like what do you do? It was fine this time around though. I also rode Star Tours at some point and it was super fun because I actually knew what lands my flight ended up in. Again, you really need to watch the moview to enjoy the land fully. I could always tell Star Wars land was really cool but didn't fully experience how cool, so it was super fun to actually have that experience this time around. Now off to Epcot!
First on my list in Epcot was Frozen. Actually I lie. I thought I'd do some of the Festival of the Holidays food but I took 1 look at the lines and was like no. So instead of waiting 15min in a line, I waited an hour! LOL I had yet to actually wait in the Frozen queue and we know how I feel about queues. Turns out I wasn't missing much though so can cross the Frozen queue off my list. I was going to ride Grand Fiesta, but it was down so I went to go get a cookie instead. This time I did wait in line! A line of just me lol. The cookie was good but SO sugary (imagine that...).
I don't remember ordering after this but I know I spent some time shopping (and not buying anything) and went to see the gingerbread spaceship earth, which was pretty fun. I watched the show it put on too. I rode Spaceship Earth (because I always do this, duh), Nemo, and walked through Moana. I did Soarin (because again, fast pass) and saw the new fixed Eiffel tower. Then went to Living with the Land for the Christmas overlay. There were SO many people in the fast pass line, they had us winding through the cafeteria tables. It was WILD. Didn't take as long as it felt like it would so it ended up being fine.
And then I decided to be crazy and head back to Hollywood Studios real quick. I caught the end of the Tower of Terror holiday show and snope, rode Mickey's Runaway Railroad and Star Tours again. Both of which turn out kind of meh, wish I would have just called it a night because then I was tired. I rode the Skyliner back to Riviera and ordered some margarhita pizza. I walked back to my room with it and caught Epcot's fireworks in the distance. Woo! Successful day with lots of time to shower, pack, and get ready for bed and leaving the next day. Booo. lol
