The park didn't seem that crowded, which was real nice. But that's probably because it was hot a.f. Anyhow, Iban went with us and we went to find the new AP corner for our Oogie Boogie photo op. Jeric had to meet us up there, so we got in line right when we got there and Jeric would meet us up. That line was crazy long! And it was just to get inside!! Once inside, there was another line, which I thought was for the Oogie Boogie photo. We had to wait for Jeric anyways, so we just hung out inside Launch Bay. At least it was air conditioned.
When Jeric finally met up with us, we got in line, but then, Jeric wanted to see how far the line went and found out it was just a line to get the button and magnet. Lame. He did ask where the photo op was and found out it was upstairs. Iban didn't really want a photo with Oogie Boogie, so just us three went upstairs. And of course, there was another line. We also saw the photo op. And OMG! It wasn't an Oogie Boogie character. Instead it was just a large backdrop that had him in it. Doh! I don't know why, but when I saw Gail's photo, I remembered him being an actual character. Of course, when I looked at it again, it wasn't. I must've confused Gail's photo with the Halloween Time Newsletter that showed Oogie Boogie as a character. Whoopsie!
Well, since we were here already and waited the line just to get inside, we decided we might as well get a photo. The line probably took another half hour though. Ugh. And by the time it was almost our time, Zoë was so over it. She didn't want to take a photo. We tried to convince her, but then she got whiny and threw a fit. She was sitting on the floor and didn't want to move. Jeric had to pick her up when it was our turn and even then she hid her face. We kinda just shrugged at the photopass guy and gave him to go ahead to snap our photos as is.
Luckily, the photographer had an idea. He reached in his pouch for Mickey Sticker and showed it to Zoë and asked her to look at the sticker and keep looking at it as he placed it over where the flash was on his camera. She didn't smile, but at least we got her face!
After we finished the photos, Zoë was still in a bad mood. She continued to throw a fit and channeled most of her anger at Jeric. Jeric ended up putting his foot down and said she couldn't have cotton candy unless she behaved. Eventually she behaved and got he cotton candy. And as we were walking from Launch Bay over to Fantasy Land, we spotted Max, which was a rare character to see out and about. This lifted Zoë's spirits even more since she's always loved A Goofy Movie and even though she wasn't super happy, we got our photo with Max!
Now off to Fantasyland. The first ride Zoë chose was Tea Cups. Since me and Jeric weren't up to getting all dizzy, Iban ended up taking her.
She then wanted to ride Alice in Wonderland, since she saw it right there. She ended up riding with Jeric in the back with me in the front and Iban sat this one out.
