Once we got in we headed straight for Fantasy Land and rode Peter Pan's Flight, which was something Mommy really wanted to ride and it was not scary at all for Cameron, which was a good start to the day. After Peter Pan we headed to Ariel's Grotto and let the boys run around the splash area for awhile, which was LOTS of fun for them! They met Ariel and showed them that they were super heroes. Today was already looking MUCH better than yesterday!!!
Next we headed over to the Mad Tea Party, which I KNEW Cameron would like because he just doesn't get dizzy!!! And sure enough, he had us SPINNING ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND!!!
After the Mad Tea Party we packed up and headed to The Toontown Fair. We were having a great time, everybody was happy and we were all riding rides...little did we know our luck was about to change. Our first ride in Toontown was Goofy's Barnstormer. It is a great little rollercoaster that Carson was even tall enough to ride. Carson was SOOOOOOOOO excited to get to ride, but we had to do a baby exchange so he had to wait while Eric and Cameron rode first (we had to drag Cameron onto the ride, he was terrified but had a blast once they got going). So, because we had to wait we got our first fit of the day from Carson:
Carson and Cameron both LOVED the Barnstormer but on the way off was where our day went south. We were trying to get out of the way quickly and I grabbed Cohen from Eric and went to put him on my back. Cohen was a bit fussy because it was nap time and he didn't want to give up so he twisted and threw himself back while I was trying to put him on my back and I dropped him face first onto the pavement. We immediately called first aid, which was there instantly and they called paramedics. Cohen and mommy got the "backlot tour" on our way to the ambulance (and let me tell you Disney is not quite as glamorous backstage as it is to the crowd!). We were taken by ambulance to Children's Medical in downtown Orlando where they decided that Cohen did not have a concussion but possibly had a broken nose but there wasn't much we could do about it but put neosporin on his big forehead bump and go on with our day. So, they discharged us and called a cab (which was a disaster in itself and took 4 hours to arrive). Once the cab picked us up we were back to the park and ready for dinner. Here is the damage done to our little guy:
It actually doesn't look as bad in the picture as it does in real life, he's pretty scuffed up and very puffy. Mommy is feeling terrible about this but Cohen is taking it like a trooper...we'll see how he sleeps tonight. We all ate dinner at Tony's on Main Street and Cameron and Carson provided plenty of table antics for us to come back to.
After dinner we decided to stay at the park and enjoy what else we could after dark. We headed to Tomorrow Land and met Buzz Lightyear and rode the Carosel of Progress. When we came out of the Carosel we were surrounded by terrential downfall, so we sat as long as we could outside the ride and tried to keep the kids entertained but eventually we were asked to leave so we booked it over to Tomorrow Land Transit Authority.
We rode the Transit ride about halfway through, but the rain caused it to break down, so again we got a special look at Disney as we disembarked the ride by foot!!! After the rain stopped we got to enjoy the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor where Cohen was spotlighted as a "cute baby" on the bigscreen!!! Then we used our FastPasses (the boys and Eric were given 6 FastPasses to ANYWHERE in the park for our trip to the ER...they also got to visit Mickey & Minnie as "special guests!") to ride Buzz Lightyears Space Ranger Spin. After the rides we enjoyed the fireworks show and got to see Tinkerbell make her decent from the castle!! It was really cool.
We were going to attempt to go back to Adventure Land and avoid the traffic to the bus. Cameron and Cohen were asleep so we thought we would do the walking tour of the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse, but as soon as we got to the top the sky opened up again!!! So, there we were stuck in a downpour with two sleeping kids and Carson!! Eric had to carry Carson all the way back down, then we loaded up the stroller and booked it to the front to catch our bus!
It was a trying day, but we all made it back to the hotel...tomorrow we are sleeping in and then hitting up Animal Kingdom in the morning and Epcot for dinner...wish us better luck tomorrow!!!
