November 4-10th, 2020: Day 4

Saturday November 7th:
Awake by 6:30am. We tried to get a RotR boarding group right at 7am but they were already gone. They started allowing you to join from the app and don’t need to be on property. We left our room at 8:30am to drive to HS. We were first in line at the HS parking toll booth for a 10am park opening. We were the first car to park too! Downside is you end up in the farthest parking spot of the row. But on the positive side it was super easy to find our car at the end of the day! Security was super fast. In line for Mickey’s train at 9:20am. There were a lot of people there already, likely from buses and the Sky Liner. We were off the ride by 10am. It was such a fun and cute ride! So much to see! In line for Smugglers at 10:15am, posted 20 minutes. On by 10:45am. Ryan and I were pilots and S&K were gunners. I did better at my piloting skills this time around! We did a great job! Placed mobile order for Dock Bay 7, fried chicken with mac and cheese and broccoli for me. Ryan got the pot roast with mushroom pasta. It was going to be a bit before our window opened to pick up our food. So we got in line to show S&K the bazaar shops. Waited about 20 minutes. We ended up buying Ryan a plush Boba Fett and Winnie a plush Jabba. It was our window to get our lunch and clicked that we were there. S&K got their notification first and were able to grab a table. It was minutes later when we got our notification. Such a delicious lunch and it really hit the spot! It was nice to sit inside with our masks off for a bit. We found where they have the magic shot with Baby Yoda so we all got our pics there. It was on the way to Toy Story Land from the back entrance. We got in line for Toy Story Mania at 12:35pm. We were out the entrance to Toy Story Land. Posted wait was 30 min. We were on by 12:50pm. Ryan barely beat me today! Ryan, Scott and I got in line for RnRC at 1:12pm and on at 1:55pm. Right when we got off, we were able to snag a backup boarding group for RoTR, group 93, right at the 2pm window. S&K went elsewhere while Ryan and I rode Tower. It was posted 55 minutes at 2:10pm. We were queued into the Fatasmic area. Within 10 minutes or so they announced that half the elevators just broke down so they were just running at half capacity. If they don’t get them fixed it could be a 100 minute wait. We opted to wait to see how things progressed for a bit. Many groups left so we moved up quite a way. We boarded at 3pm. Met S&K then over to Star Tours with a near walk on. Then Alien Saucers with a posted 35 min wait but was a near walk on. We got our alert for our RoTR boarding group to board and we all went that way. We were on within 15-20 min. Still a great experience on our 3rd time riding it! I think S&K were blown away! Over to Toy Story Mania with a posted 30 min wait but really just 20. Ryan got just over 200k and I got just under 200k. Slinky posted 45 min at 5:10pm. We were on at 5:48pm. There was a pause of 5-10 minutes while they did cleaning. We were going to try to ride Mickey’s Runaway Railway again but it was still a 75 min wait. My ankle was killing me. I had sprained/strained it several weeks ago. It had been feeling fine. But apparently with all the standing and miles, it was too much. We had all planned to run our virtual 10k from the cancelled Wine & Dine race tomorrow morning. But I decided it wasn’t in my best interest to run it. I also wasn’t up for standing on my ankle for much longer. So we went to see the projections on Tower of Terror for Christmas. We also checked out some of the awesome retro Christmas décor. We were out to our car and back to Pop at 6:40pm. Ryan and I mobile ordered pot roast and chicken Parmesan Alfredo pasta from the food court. It was ready quickly so we sat and enjoyed that. Then mobile ordered cookies. We should have done it sooner because it took like 10 minutes for them to notify us they were ready! We were back in our room by 8pm. Ryan got me adjusted and worked on my ankle. It was pretty swollen. I iced and elevated while watching tv. We were exhausted and lights out by 10pm.
