I am bitter about the fact that I am THE MOST assiduous applier of sunscreen and yet I am the one who is sunburned. It’s not bad, but it’s a little more every day. (My dad warned me about this when I was NINE and came home from a full day at the water park with a tan. I have his fair skin and freckles, but before I turned thirty at least I could get a tan.)
Other than the mild itch of the sunburn though, I’m still having a great time. We did early park hours yesterday and basically walked onto every ride we wanted to go on. I forgot how amazing Space Mountain is.
We did Magic Kingdom in the morning, including Be Our Guest, where I got the roast beef sandwich and the chocolate cake with “the grey stuff” which turned out to be a very nice whipped frosting. Everything at Be Our Guest is delicious.
But as our server brought out our food, Sci leaned over and said, “So we hear you have…A CARROT KETCHUP.”
Which they do and which all the hipster disney foodie blogs (oh yes, I said “hipster disney foodie blog”, that’s a thing that happens) said was amazing. And our server let us have a little cup for free.
Kids, I’m here to tell you, carrot ketchup is a lie.
Basically it’s carrot puree with vinegar. On its own it’s actually quite nice, and does well as a sweet vinaigrette dressing, but you cannot use it as a ketchup. You will regret your life choices.
We did Hollywood Studios in the afternoon, where I got to ride on Tower of Terror, which is AMAZING and better than the California version, and I got to do it in a thunderstorm (well, at that point it was just rain, it became a thunderstorm later) which was super cool and added to the Twilight Zone of the whole experience. We saw the Star Wars themed fireworks (and a LOT of other Star Wars themed stuff) and had a lovely late night snack complete with glowing drinks at the Sci Fi Drive In Diner, and during the rainstorm I officially learned How To Poncho.
I’ve taken to getting up early and coming to the cafeteria in the hotel to do some writing/replying; I’d give you a fuller account of yesterday but we’re off to Animal Kingdom today and I have to go pack, put on real shoes, and apply all the sunscreen. ALL OF IT.
