Tea Cups

I've always pretty much refused to ride the Tea Cups.  Today, I gave in.  Dumbo was a 40 minute wait, Autopia (which they no longer call Autopia...sad) was a 50 minute wait, and Ellie was too short for everything else...so, tea cups it was.  She LOVED picking out her pink cup to ride!  Once it started, though, she found it pretty scary.  It didn't help that there was a toddler one cup over having an absolute fit of terror.  Charlie totally loved the speed and spinning...what a trouper....a cat nap quickly ensued, though.

After the Tea Cups, Ellie rode the Snow White ride with Joe, while I took a sleeping Charlie to stake out a spot on Main Street for the 3 o'clock parade.  I guess the ride Joe took her on was so scary that she went through the whole thing with her hands covering her eyes!  She insisted that it was fun afterwards, though.  Oh, you should have felt how fast her heart was beating after the one downhill part in the dark on Pirates!

Joe and Ellie found us on Main Street, we waited there for about 15 minutes, and then Joe and I looked at each other and instantly decided that it was time to jet.  Everybody in Disney was ready to see that parade, so we took as our cue to exit on an empty ferry boat back to the parking lot.  We cut the day just a bit short, but the kids never knew the difference.  I even asked Ellie several times what she liked best about her day, and she kept insisting that "She had fun parade!!"  Hah!  Whatever floats your boat, kiddo.
