At some point during those couple of hours, we also went on POTC and Winnie the Pooh. Hm ok, so no IASW right now and we didn't want to wait around, so what to do? How about Matterhorn again? Sure!
And as we were going through the FP line for Matterhorn, the fireworks went off. It's definitely a smaller fireworks show now than before. I'm glad that we hadn't devoted time to it, to be honest. Our family would have been disappointed.
But it WAS pretty cool to be riding Matterhorn while the fireworks were going off overhead.
After Matterhorn, I looked at the wait times and everything in Fantasyland was low wait times. Like 10 min each, except for Peter Pan (he was 20 min). We settled on Mr Toad...
After Mr Toad, I needed the ladies room, so we went to the bathrooms by the Red Rose Taverne quick service restaurant. Fantasyland was TOTALLY EMPTY! It was lovely with all of the lights and the light reflecting off the wet pavement. Seriously, so magical. I really wish that YDD had felt up to joining us that evening because she would have loved it. Monday evening was, hands down, some of THE best experiences I've ever had at DL. Hardly waited for a thing.
Oh! I forgot! When we were in Tomorrowland, in addition to going on Buzz Lightyear, we also went on Star Tours with a FP. So pretty much all evening long, I was able to snag 1 FP after another and our return times were almost immediate.
IT WAS SO GREAT, YOU GUYS! Disneyland in the rain is AWESOME! And it wasn't so wet that your feet were getting soggy. Wasn't wet enough that you needed rain boots. We were fine in our sneakers. All of the families with young kids had basically left by 7 pm.
Up next was Splash Mtn!
