We started our morning by getting a Fast Pass for the Radiator Springs Racers as the line gets really long for that one. Once we had those, we split up. Garytt and Justin went to ride The Tower of Terror while Westyn and I did some smaller rides. Garytt looks excited before the ride starts but the ride photo looks like he is a bit unsure.
We met back up and headed to Cars Land for the morning.
We rode some rides, got a snack, and then we met Lightning McQueen.
Pretty soon it was our time for our Radiator Springs Fastpass. This was our first time to ride this ride as the boys weren't tall enough before. It was definitely a fun ride but I probably wouldn't stand in line for it if we didn't have a Fastpass.
Here are the guys as we are leaving the ride. Disney really did an amazing job recreating the scenery from Radiator Springs.
We had lunch reservations at Ariel's Grotto. So, we headed there next. This is a character dining experience. We met Ariel before we were seated. Suddenly, Westyn became very shy and didn't want to go meet her. So, we only have a picture with Ariel and Garytt.
After meeting Ariel, we were seated. We got a table out on the patio overlooking Paradise Pier. It was really lovely!
Prince Garytt was ready to meet some princesses.
Our food came out and we began eating. Then, just as the princesses were starting to come around, Justin left the table as he said he wasn't feeling well. So, he missed out on the princesses. But the boys enjoyed meeting them and they tried to remember to bow to them as they came around.
Since Justin missed all the princesses, I was getting worried. He came back and asked what was in the sauce on his fish. As it turns out, they had pistachios in the sauce, which he is highly allergic to! Yikes! And, even worse, it was all my fault because I forgot to mention his allergy when we checked in! So, we ended up heading to Mickey's medical building way at the front of the park.
They checked his vitals and gave him some Benadryl. Fortunately, his reaction to pistachios is extreme cotton mouth and fatigue. (His reaction to cashews is much worse.) So, they told him he could stay there and rest for a while. Of course, I forgot my phone at the hotel that morning, so we agreed that I would take the boys around for an hour or so and come back to check on him.
The boys and I went back over to Paradise Pier to ride the Toy Story ride. Of course, I didn't take many pictures in the afternoon since it was harder to manage without Justin. Unfortunately, Disney time isn't so much real time. Once we went through Toy Story, we started heading back towards the front, but then we happened upon The Incredibles doing a little show on the street. So, we stopped to watch that. When we finally made it back to the front, Justin had been out of the medical building for a while. Oops!
We went back towards Cars Land and enjoyed the DJ Street Dance Party.
Justin insisted he was feeling well enough to ride some rides. So, we have a few random ride pictures.
We even ran into a Green Army Man driving around.
Garytt really wanted to ride The Tower of Terror again. And Westyn just barely made the height requirement. So, even though I'm completely chicken, they convinced me to ride it. It's a little hard to see Garytt in the picture, but he has his hands up and is clearly enjoying his second ride. I am looking at Justin like I can't believe you convinced me to do this. And Westyn looks totally unsure about the whole thing.
After a long day, with quite a few unexpected twists, we finished off our evening in the sweet shop. Garytt picked an Olaf marshmallow man. Westyn chose a Lightning McQueen cookie. I had a Minnie rice crispy treat. Justin wasn't really feeling quite up to snacking yet.
