You can have Edward Cullen...We'll take Mickey Mouse, and the trip begins on page 101



When last we left we had stopped for lunch at WWS at GCH. It was yummy but I fell real short of being good about food porn. My bad.

Boo kept WBG bus for a while and soon Belan was done with lunch and it was time to divide into groups again. This time the split was different. It was WBG, Berht and I. NC, with Loho, and Bawb, and Belan, Boo, and mom, in the other.

And we were on our way to what is quite possibly my favorite ride. Unfortunately on this day it was for everyone else on this day too. The Line seemed to go on for ever and ever. I didn't get to do nearly enough that day.

This is a great place to cool off. I love taking advantage of it.

As this day seemed to be going south I decided to change the flow of the stream by going shopping!! Shopping helps everything right? Well, a little at least. So we went and shopped.

I had been looking for the perfect present for Boo, and I wanted to get her a Tinkerbell I had seen in Disneyland but I didn't find it but I did find her namesake so I was buying her.

36333_1351684432184_1233587569_30925543_5691200_n.jpg

When this lovely little Tinkerbell was brought to me at the register because the wonderful cast member had known I was looking for her. So I bought both. Boo is mine!! As you can see Tinkerbell was the perfect choice.

36333_1351684472185_1233587569_30925544_2216794_n.jpg

A silly nothing picture. I had the camera for a second. We stayed and visited for a few moments helping Belan keep Boo distracted from the stores in the area.

36333_1351684512186_1233587569_30925545_4424364_n.jpg

Soon we separated and I was headed down Hollywood area again because I still had not ridden Monsters Inc and I really wanted to. I saw this window and really loved the wimsy.

36333_1351684552187_1233587569_30925546_4355783_n.jpg

We saw this interesting couple. I am sure Minnie knows nothing about this.

36333_1351684592188_1233587569_30925547_4636173_n.jpg

They were on their way to this wonderful show I think it is called Drawn to Life and I loved what I saw of it and next time I am watching a whole show of it.

36333_1351684672190_1233587569_30925549_6237222_n.jpg


After the show we meandered over to Monsters Inc. that was just reopening after a brief shut down.

36333_1351684712191_1233587569_30925550_7488709_n.jpg

This adorable machine is from the Monsters Inc que.

36333_1351684752192_1233587569_30925551_6030875_n.jpg

Here is another of those adorable little gardens. Colors, colors everywhere. It's rather chaotic.:rotfl:

36333_1351684792193_1233587569_30925552_3741719_n.jpg

As we were leaving I wanted to pose with the F, it matched my shirt.

36333_1351684872195_1233587569_30925554_5486915_n.jpg

The last one is for my Snow White loving friends.

Thus ends our day at DCA. It sure is a good thing I am planning another trip in the last year!! I missed so much of the things I wanted to see.
 


Sounds like a good rest of the day

Tinkerbelle and Boo dolls are so cute... Great buys :thumbsup2


That was a funny pic of Mickey and Cinderella together :laughing:



Thanks for pic of snow white :cutie:
 
The morning dawned bright and early. I was up at 6am and raring to go. Was today the day I would get to see the rope drop? I really crack myself up. Alas no it was not.

36333_1351651551362_1233587569_30925366_6187136_n.jpg

My "boys" were busy playing. Loho who will be 14 in 15 days is still a boy at heart and bought himself toys with his money. I guess these are things that he wanted when he was little and I wouldn't let him have them.

Weird Bike Guy and I were on the hunt for the perfect hat still and we stopped at the Mad Hatter on Main Street. I am one to avoid the crowds so we went in through the museum and walked through that way to get there. These are displayed in between Mr Lincoln and the hat shop. WBG still did not find a hat and I still did not find the hair clips I was looking for dag nab it. And before I knew it, it was time to meet everyone for lunch. Now I know during this time I did more than visit the shops.:rolleyes1 I am sure I also rode on the Pirates of the Caribbean and such.

But we needed a place to stop for lunch where everyone would eat. Boo is quite picky, in other words a normal child. We decided to try the Troubadour Tavern, which actually is a great place to get the power meal for kids. It has yogurt, string cheese, apple slices, and gold fish crackers and a drink. What kid can resist that feast? What a smart meal. For grown ups they have bratwurst and the best potatoes. I do mean the best. I love a broccoli cheese potato.

Hamming around before lunch.

When what to our wondering eyes should happen behind us but....

Not to mention who should walk behind us...

Boo was mesmerized by the whole thing.

After the show the Princesses do a meet and greet. Who was I to know such thing? My girls are past this, but who am I to turn down a chance to go down and visit those lovely ladies. Boo and I left the others in the dust and went on a Princess hunt. Unfortunately Cinderella was already closing her line. Way ahead of the other ladies. Maybe she had another date with Mickey.:rolleyes:

36333_1351652871395_1233587569_30925386_4461633_n.jpg

This lovely Princess was more than willing to wait and meet Boo. And Boo loved it.

While waiting for our next lovely Princess I took a few pictures.

36333_1351653151402_1233587569_30925392_6956542_n.jpg

Look who we met next....I told you that there would be more of Snow White. Now she was a major hit, and I think it was because she got down to Boo's level.

Soon it was time for Weird Bike Guy and I to have time alone again.:cheer2: Sorry but, grown up time alone is wonderful.

36333_1351653231404_1233587569_30925393_4416882_n.jpg

And where did we go? But straight to Small World.

These boats are new since the last time we were there. This boat has the best seat for wheelchairs.

After Small World we hopped the train.....
 
So, I just totally lost the update to finish Friday. I will rewrite it again later. I don't have the heart now.
 
Great update

I love the Princess area......So pretty

Snow White is the best :lovestruc
 
Never knew there was a princess thing... <.<

Might have to check that out if I go with a special someone or go with my niece. :D
 
I definitely need to get Addy over the PFF. We've avoided it because we opt to do Ariel's Grotto Princess meal....but since there won't be any princesses for our WoC dinner.....I better make a point of doing this. I've never even been over in that area to look around!! Thanx for those great pics......I'm actually excited to go now!!

It is really a pretty area, I love the theming, I think originally they opened they played a live Snow White show.

It's a great area to just sit for shade too. And if you like baked potatoes it is a somewhat reasonable place to eat lunch.

And Laurie they have the Princess meet and greet there like Pixie Hollow too. Where you can wait in line and they change the princesses out like they do the fairies. I am glad my pictures are making you more excited.:goodvibes
