The Adventures of Evan: Day 349 - Trip to Orlando (Day 2)

The family and I are blogging from a line in the Magic Kingdom. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to whoever got us the FastPass+ tickets. It took us one attraction to figure out how to get ahead in line, but once we did we never looked back. The crowds down here are humongous. Add to that the heat and clear skies and I'm amazed we hung around as long as we did. We got into the park around a quarter to 10 and moved pretty slow initially since everyone was crowded up on Main Street trying to get pictures and see the early shows. Once inside we found our footing and got acclimated it was a more enjoyable time. For our health and sanity we left around 2:00 to get back to the room, cool off and enjoy the pool here.

Upon first entering the park.

Tomorrow we're heading back for Round 2 beginning our day at the Magic Kingdom again for our meet and greet with Jack Sparrow. Because Evan received Methotrexate yesterday his skin is very vulnerable right now and despite our best efforts with sun screen he's a little redder than we'd like to see. That said, we'll make a last minute call on where to go following the meet and greet once we see how his body looks in the morning. If he's still red we'll likely do Magic Kingdom and then head to Hollywood Studios since they have several indoor attractions; if his skin has rebounded we'll probably head to Epcot.

Must have surprised Nolan. He enjoyed this ride very much.

Today's pictures are kind of lacking in quantity and quality. The heat wore us all down as you'll see. It was mid-to-high 90s here and tomorrow they're calling for around 93. I can't recall the last time I've looked forward to rain, but the forecast calls for afternoon showers and I'll gladly do a rain dance tomorrow if that helps. Part of our package allows for some form of complimentary picture or pictures taken by the Disney staff. I'm a bit unclear, but if there is cost associated I'm sure we'll pay so that we can better remember the trip. Point is, the Disney photos are a bit better and once we've acquired them I'll post them in a separate blog entry.

They were all blurry, but this was the best one.

Evan really enjoyed the rides, as did Nolan. We closed out the day with the Haunted Mansion. Not sure if that one really stuck out in their minds because it was last or they genuinely liked the ride, but they both said that was their favorite one. We got a chance to visit the Wish Lounge for a quick cool down and to familiarize ourselves with the meeting location tomorrow. Should be another great and hectic day.
