When we left off, sister and I were hopping on the monorail to MK.
My only sighting of the EPCOT entrance for this trip.
We both look BEAT here.
Better perk up before this After Hours event!
We got off at the TTC and walked over to the Poly. Sister was in awe! She loved that resort. I knew Wishes was starting soon, so we sat on a chair on the beach. I probably should have just gone on to get food, but I was afraid we'd miss Wishes! Food will still be there when it's over, right?! We sat there for probably 15 minutes and then Wishes began. There was a decent crowd gathered and the volume on the speakers was quite low. I could barely hear it, so that was disappointing. Seems like it should be louder out there unless they don't really want people watching it there.
It was beautiful! Sister was texting her mom during it, but she still watched some. She wasn't as interested as I thought she'd be. Maybe we should have tried to get to the park in time for the show
. Oh well, it's done now. I like the view from the beach at least!
As soon as it ended we headed to Captain Cooks, where I was excited to try some pork nachos.
My mouth is watering just thinking about these things. YUMMMMMM. Pretty sure sister got a burger and fries. We finished up and headed to MK a little before 9. I was so excited to be getting to my favorite park! It gives me butterflies every time I am headed there
Sad train station
Ok so I'm going to try to be super detailed during this part because I know a lot of people are curious about the After Hours event. We arrived right as the park was closing and the event was starting. We just scanned our bands to get in and were given a lanyard. I had paper printouts of the tickets, but I didn't need them. It was really crowded in front of the train station and on Main Street, but we stopped for some pictures anyway.
Our first stop was Tomorrowland! I figured we'd try to just go all the way around the park and hit everything I thought she'd like. I saw a couple of people get turned away from Buzz, but other than that I didn't see any non-event-goers hanging around. They were all on Main Street that time so Tomorrowland was practically empty. I'm a little mad at myself for not taking pictures of the pathways. You could see the pavement!!
Anyway our first stop was Buzz, where we walked right on and had no one else even near us on the ride.
Nice. I beat her on this one too
. I am so mean.
We left and headed to Space Mountain. I saw a popcorn stand with a huge line which I thought was weird. Why are all these people wasting time getting popcorn?! I realized a little later that there was free popcorn and ice cream treats at those little carts. DERP. Do your research, dummy!
There were more people walking through the queue on Space, but we still walked right onto a ride vehicle and blasted off. It was weird in there because the People Mover was closed and you could see the ride cars just sitting there with the lights on. So that made it lighter inside Space Mountain. Kind of ruined it for me, not that I care for that ride anymore anyway. It used to be my favorite, but I'd be fine not even riding it every trip now
I thankfully talked sister out of wanting to ride the Speedway. She did get a Mickey bar after Space and I had to wait for her to finish so we could do the teacups. There were probably 10-15 people in the teacups with us.
I waited until the very end to show her how to really spin it. Haha! 10 seconds of super fast spinning wasn't too bad.
I just now got my pictures on the computer, so it might take a few days to get them sorted out. 
. I had talked her out of it that morning, but she didn't like the idea of walking all the way back on her tired feet so I gave in. Thankfully there was room to stand on the back, so we did that. The people on the seat scooted over enough for sister to have a seat, so that was really nice.
