I was not feeling well, so I stayed in the hotel until about 10 AM.

Leanne, Harry, Maggie, Daisy and grandma went to the park and did a whole bunch of attractions without me.

After dinner, mother and I went back to the hotel, partly due to me feeling a little sick and partly because mother forgot to charge her scooter the previous night and was getting dangerously close to running out of battery.

We also both were not planning to go on Thunder Mountain so we let Leanne take the kids on it without us.

On the way out of the park, Leanne and Daisy met Minnie Mouse. Not sure where Magpie and Harry went.

We had our first table service meal of the trip at River Bell Terrace.

Apparently, it is one of the original restaurants to the park.

I think everyone enjoyed their food. I did not, but I don’t enjoy much food anymore. 

The kids took their new lightsabers to Galaxy’s Edge and we hoped we could find some interesting photo opportunities with a photo pass photographer, but could not find any. We ended up just taking our own photo and right after the kids posed for a few pictures Rey showed up!

I think Daisy really enjoyed talking to Rey as she’s now a little obsessed with her.

I also bought another stand for our new custom built lightsaber 



Our transaction failed while trying to buy the lightsabers for the kids so we had to use a different card. I called the bank and was told they’ll have to call me back to verify some transactions.

This also happened to my mother while she was down in Disney World a few weeks earlier with the same a card on the same account.

I was planning to cancel this card anyway due to the changes to the reward system so this is the final nail in the coffin.

Bye-bye Brim Financial MasterCard. You stink!

At about 3:00 PM while still in Tomorrowland, we decided to head down to Star Tours to let the kids build their own lightsabers.

It was quite a fun little experience for them.

Apparently, my son has joined the Darkside, but my girls are Jedi.

On our way to Galaxy‘s Edge, we went through Fantasyland to ride Snow White, which we still hadn’t gotten to.

Since Fantasyland is so old, the queues do not accommodate accessibility vehicles like a scooter very well.

What they do instead is they give you a return time. Instead of us waiting in line we went and got ice cream and then returned to the queue after we finished.

While in Fantasyland…

At around 2:45 PM we went on the Finding Nemo submarine ride.

It was kind of a neat experience as we were partially submerged and could see interesting things out our porthole, including scenes with Nemo from Finding Nemo. I do wonder how they were able to mix screens and being able to see the actual underwater scenary at the same time.

Headed over to Tomorrowland and went on Autopia around 2:15 PM. These are like little go-karts but on a track. Little Harry went on all by himself and seem to do quite well. I went with Daisy and Leanne went with Magnolia.

We let the girls drive. That was not a good idea.

The girls couldn’t hold the car steady in the middle of the track which meant we kept bashing the edges of the track which was quite a jarring experience. This meant that I had to drive the car with only my left hand with my left foot on the accelerator. The accelerator was also the break when you let up on the gas.

It was quite exhausting.

Used the lightning lane for this attraction at 1:20 PM 

Beauty and the Beast themed restaurant. Ordered lunch around 12:15 PM.

After finishing the lightsaber, we had an encounter with several members of the New Order. 

I love stormtroopers!

While Harry, princess Daisy and I were building a lightsaber, Grandma, Leanne and Magnolia were at this time for Magnolia‘s appointment.

Arrived early around 11:05 AM. We had to wait around a bit.

Unlike Disney Hollywood Studios, they allow you to bring in two guests. Harry, myself and princess Daisy did the experience together.

10:28 AM

At around 10:05 AM we went on the Roger Rabbit ride in Toontown.
