We did a little zigzagging after this. We rode Star Tours and then walked back to ride Slinky Dog.
There were two showings of Fantasmic tonight. Originally, I figured we would go to the last show. But we changed our minds and decided on going to the earlier one instead. The weather was getting so chilly, I didn’t want to chance it being so cold to sit there for the later show.
It was about this time that Ross got a phone call from Nicolas. Nicolas was running the business and went to the storage locker to pick up this week’s delivery. And unfortunately, the delivery was not there! That sent Ross into a tizzy. He had to make some phone calls and I had to send some text to the supervisors and shipping company to figure out what was going on and where the delivery was at. And the answer was no one really knew. The trucking company stated that they did not have enough drivers on this particular day, so with the shipment in limbo, his mood was shot. I do understand… my heart went out for him. Somehow, almost every time we’re away something happens with the business that makes him have to worry. Thankfully, it would resolve the next morning. And Ross would return back to his vacation mode. Nicolas is a trooper though. And it’s nice to know that we have someone reliable run the show when we’re away.
We walked into the Fantasmic theatre and found a seat. It was a completely filled show! We unpacked our warmer gear and loaded up and layered up. I was glad we had it because I was comfortable and I wasn’t so worried about Hope. Julia will always tell me when she’s cold or when something bothers her, but Hope will not.

The show was incredible as always. We noticed that the fire at the end was not working and Snow White’s boat was not there either.
When we were done, we headed over to RnR. The line was really long! It made sense though, since it was down all day pretty much. We joined the lightning lane with our return time and waited, and then the ride seemed to have gone down. The announcement started playing that they were experiencing delays.
Several people began to leave the extremely long line. While we were waiting, I was able to make a return time for ToT, which was also down for most of the day for some reason. But Hope wanted to stay in line. I told her that we were taking a chance because of RnR didn’t go back up, we wouldn’t ride either one. She stood firm and wanting to stay, so we did. Luckily enough, after about 20 minutes in line, it reopened and we were led right into the preshow room, but then told we were given backseat passes so we could just go on board the ride.
When we got off the time was 859. Ross was determined to get us on ToT, so off we flew. We arrived at tower at 9:01 when the gate was already shut, but they waved us in anyway, so we were the last to join the line for the day! This is one ride. I still don’t like. I can take any roller coaster almost but the feeling of just straight freefall still bugs me. We boarded and I put my bag around my legs and then I had the Sully popcorn bucket to deal with. I put my foot Through the loop and had it secured… or so I thought. Up, up we went… when the drop happened, all of a sudden, I realized Mike & Sully were flying up above me! I grabbed it and clutched it to my chest. How it’s not in the picture, I’m not so sure.
Ross and Julia said they wished it was in the picture. lol

We made our way towards the exit. Hope realized that the animation and firework show that projected up against the Chinese theater was going to go off, so we stopped and found a place to watch it. It wasn’t too crowded, so it wasn’t a situation like trying to watch HEA. We watched the show which wasn’t too very long and then made our way towards the exit. We were lucky because the last showing of Fantasmic was still going on. We made it to the Skyliner with pretty much no line. As we looked behind us, the entire park was rushing out!!
We walked over to AoA and had a quick bite to eat in their food court before walking back to Pop.
It was another great day and another night that we flopped into bed.
