Great time last night! Half the family is still sleeping at 12:15 pm. Which is understandable as we didn’t get back to sleep until well after 4 am!
We booked the after party. Checked in at 8:20, and went to find our spot on the back rail. Great advice from here! We had the perfect spot along the rail.
It started to drizzle soon after we got there, and the dreaded announcement of a delay came around 9 o’clock (which was not a surprise at all due to the fireworks show in progress - tons of lightning).
But, it was only a 15 minute delay (it never more than drizzled), and the show was fantastic! Best fireworks show we ever saw.
Desserts afterwards were great. They keep bringing fresh food out, and everything was still available when we left around 10:30 or so. Cookie dough treats were the best dessert.
DW had the gluten free option, which she was very happy with. They brought her a plate of treats, including a giant cookie, 4 cupcakes, sugar coated gummy bears, pound cake, and maybe something else. She could also have some things from the dessert buffet, such as the apple pie thingy and fruit/cheese. Some other things also were gluten free.
Afterwards, we avoided the crowds by walking over to Astro orbiter. It was still a 35 minute wait, but worth it. Then we:
Jungle cruise FP+
Magic carpets of Aladdin
BTMR
Pooh (first option was Peter Pan, but that line was too long)
Buzz
Space.
