Marathon Weekend January 8-14th, 2020: Day 6

Monday January 13th:
5:15am alarm. Down to bus stop before 6:30am. On bus at 6:45am to HS for 7am opening. Dropped off minutes before 7am. I did bagless entry and through AP turnstile quickly. Ryan went through bag check and was done within 5 minutes, lines weren’t too bad. As soon as he tapped his band to enter, I clicked to join a Boarding Group for Rise of the Resistance. We got Boarding Group 107 at 7:08am. For today it stated that groups 111 and lower were guaranteed entrance, other groups would be standby for possible later boarding if time allowed. We heading toward Slinky to try to standby it but it was already 95 min and the line was out of Toy Story Land by One Man’s Dream! We got in line for TSMM with a posted 35 min wait but really only 20-25 min. Ryan won this time. Then to Tower with a 20-25 min wait. Texted Teri to meet us at Epcot instead of HS since there are more options to do there. We were going to stop in SB but the line was wrapped around outside and likely a 30 min wait for drinks. Sky Liner to Epcot. Ryan and I grabbed a ham and cheese croissant and a bacon, egg and cheese croissant in France since we had time until Teri and Kailey would arrive. I also grabbed a chocolate mousse! So good! Met Teri and Kailey at the new SB for caffeine. We all then went to Soarin standby of 45 min posted but was closer to 30. Then Living with the Land with a 5 min wait. K needed food and it was around 11:30am. So she ate something at Sunshine Seasons and Teri ate her lunch she brought. She was still feeling pretty sick but wanted to come hang out. We worked our way to China and Ryan and I shared the beef noodle bowl and pot stickers. Got pics in China with our medals. Then Germany for caramel corn and a dark chocolate caramel with sea salt. Over to Figment, it was a walk on. Then Nemo as a walk on. We saw the manatees and the scuba gal! Walked Mouse Gear. Walked Teri and Kailey to the front. It was just after 3pm but they needed to head out so K could get her learners permit at the DMV since her 15th birthday was on our arrival day! Ryan and I grabbed tea at SB and were starting to walk to the Sky Liner to get back to HS since our boarding group was getting close for RotR. We received our notification that our Boarding Group was ready and we had 2 hours to arrive. We were almost to the International Gateway when we got the notification. We got in line for RotR at 4:25pm and was told it would be about an hour wait. We were in the first show room around 5:10pm. We were off the attraction by 5:30pm. Holy cow! What an amazing ride/attraction/experience! Just wow! I won’t give any spoilers. But I hadn’t read or watched anything about it because I wanted it to be a surprise! I was blown away! We had AK FP’s booked for this evening but ended up releasing what was left of them since we had missed the first one and wouldn’t make it in time for the second one. We didn’t see going to AK for one FP. We took the Sky Liner back to Epcot for the evening! We were dropped off at 6:30pm. We checked to see if the pizza window was open but it wasn’t. We went to the UK for Fish and Chips. So yum! Walk on to SSE. Sky Liner back to Pop. To our room by 9pm. We packed since we head home tomorrow. Lights out at 11pm.
