For park food, it was actually pretty good. Me and Emma got the Beef nachos and Linz got the fajitas. For dinner we stopped at Pecos Bill Cafe and got some Mexican food. At the end of the trip she said that was her favorite ride. At the ride, we had to wait a little bit but Emma loved that one as well.

On our way over we stopped at Gaston’s Tavern to grab a cinnamon roll. There was only one rollercoaster left in the park, the goofy themed barnstormer, so I figured it would be safe to go on that one as well. She liked it and wanted to go again after it was over. The first drop got her whimpering again, but she got over it quick. She did around the first turn, but once we started climbing The Hill she grabbed on. Emma did good, in line she said she wanted to put her hands up in the air. We had fast passes so we jumped right to the front. The line was a two hour wait so I figured it had to be good. I thought it was a kids ride, but once we got close I realized it went pretty fast and had a pretty big drop.

We had one more rollercoaster left, the seven dwarves mine train. We went to the pool for a few hours, grabbed a few snacks, then headed back to the park. After dinner it was 9pm, but emma wanted to get back in the pool. Linz ate dinner with Jen at the nice restaurant at the hotel, and me and Emma went and got another hot dog at the quick service restaurant at the hotel. Went on the water slide again and again until the pool closed. Emma was still in the pool when I got back, so I got on my bathing suit and joined her. They pull volunteers from the crowd, and funny enough, Emma’s two friends from the Tower of Terror were the two kids they picked to introduce the show. As I was about to leave, I noticed the Indiana Jones show was about to start, so I figured I’d check it out since it was a classic. It was about an hour wait, but pretty fun. Then I had to go on the Aerosmith themed rockin rollercoaster. All of the characters came out with an introduction followed by clips from their scenes in the movies. We had seen glimpses of it throughout the day, but I wanted to watch the whole thing. First up was the live action Star Wars show. Emma really wanted to get back to the pool, but there were still a few rides on my list. Candy store and got her a lollipop before we got back on the bus.Īfter our late lunch, we decided to split up. The restaurant was good, I got a really good Cajun spicy chicken and shrimp pasta dish and Linz got some shrimp tacos. The bus ride was longer than anticipated, so we were late, but luckily we didn’t lose our spot. We had a dinner reservation at the Rainforest Cafe in Disney Springs. Emma played with those two girls for the next hour, going down the slide over and over. Sure enough, I went down, and emma came right after me. After a little more swimming she said she wanted to try again, there were some twin girls up at the top that said they would help her. Eventually she came walking back down the stairs. She got cold feet cause the next kid down wasn’t emma, or the next. I took her back up and this time went down first to catch her.

I was a little bummed cause I didn’t think there was a chance she’d go by herself. It was awesome, there was a water slide that went pretty fast, first time down I went with emma in my lap, but as soon as we hit the pool the lifeguards were yelling that you had to go one at a time. We got our bathing suits on and went out to the pool.
