In the park at opening and it appeared it was going to be packed out again today. Don’t these people have work and school? Of course we went right to Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast first, the day just wouldn’t feel right if we didn’t start there. Yes, of course we rode it two times! Then we got in line for Autopia again and guess who had to pee as soon as we got into the line? What is it about this ride? I hopped out of line with Colin to pee while Shelby kept our spot. It worked out because by the time we came back and met up with Shelby the line only had about 10 minutes left to go. A few more rides and it was off to Pizza Planet for lunch. Colin was very excited about this since he would pretty much live on pizza if we let him and it was like the movie. Next we checked out the dragon’s lair of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, rode Pirates of the Caribbean, visited Captain Jack Sparrow’s ship AND met Captain Jack! He was funny to watch and very in character, making weird eyes and funny faces. With the older “kids” he’d fall on them and seem drunk and clumsy like in the movie. More rides and then it was off to stand in line for an hour to meet Mickey. Ugh...hate waiting in line, especially with a three year old, but you gotta do it for Mickey! After that we had to reward Colin by FINALLY taking him shopping. We’d been telling him for the last three days that on the last day we’d go to the shop and buy stuff and that we were not buying anything at all until the last day. It worked well as bribery for the most part. He was certain as could be that he was getting a Buzz Lightyear Blaster gun like the one from the ride. When we got into the shop he decided he wanted a pirate gun instead though and there was no talking him out of it. Of course he needed a pirate hat, and shirt and eye patch to go along with it. Several more trinkets and half a car payment later we were done shopping . We had reservations at 7 to eat in the Blue Lagoon restaurant when has tables along the water inside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. We figured Colin would love watching the pirate boats go by and listening to music. It was not quite 6 yet though, Colin was fading fast and we never fit in that nap we had planned for. Dinner at 7 was probably not going to be as enjoyable as planned. Colin wanted to go see the alligator (which was animatronic and in a cage out front of Rainforest Café) again, so we let him do that. I have no idea what his obsession is with this thing, but he begs to go see it anytime we walk into the Disney Village area. He asked if we could eat with the animals again and we decided that was better than waiting another hour to eat with the Pirates anyway so back to Rainforest Café we went. After dinner Colin was getting tired and cranky and we didn’t see him lasting until 10:30 for the fireworks so we decided to give up that idea. We had hit most everything we wanted to see/ride and got our money’s worth so back to the hotel we went.
