Day 3, Part 4: "People lose their minds in theme parks."
Now that we thought we had the proper time for Character Palooza we decided that we were going to finally see MuppetVision!
I know, we've only been over to the building twice before now, but we were determined to see this attraction.
Look at us in the spiffy glasses.
So we went ahead and watched it, but I'm going to say this... it was kinda meh for me? I don't know, maybe it's because I'm not a huge Muppet fan that I felt that way, but I just thought that it was probably the third best 3D show at Disney. I'd do it again, but it isn't a must do.
Now that we'd finally seen Muppet Vision, we decided to walk around the park a little and maybe head toward the Backlot Tour and see if we could do it.
What do you know, we walked past the Streets of America and Character Palooza was going on! We'd been lied to, again!
Right away though Stitch walked right up to me and shook my hand and gave me an autograph. I was totally taken aback, especially since there were people following him around for a picture and he picked me.
I'm not going to lie, I felt special.
Marie did not get a picture though because Stitch moved on but it was still pretty cool.
Looking around, we decided to hop into the line for Jasmine and Genie since they were meeting and the line was short.
They were nice for sure, but not super memorable, I won't lie.
Marie looks super supicious of Jasmine in this picture, so it makes me very amused. She's like, "I see what you're doing.... talking to my wife." Honestly, the best faces are made by Marie.
Since the meeting times were almost up though, we hurried along to meet one more person.
That's right, we met Capitan Hook just as the Palooza was ending. Obviously he didn't talk or really do much but autograph our stuff.
Oh well, it was still cool to say that we met him.
So let's review. A goal from this trip was to meet less characters and we were onto Day 3 of Disney and we'd already met: Pooh and Tigger, Dug and Russell, Cinderella and Aurora, Ralph and Vanellope, Phineas and Ferb, Stitch, Jasmine and Genie and Capitan Hook.
Oops.
Maybe we'll do better the rest of the trip? I guess time will only tell! Or I will. Either way, you'll find out.
Now we headed over toward Mike and Sulley. Ooops. I guess we're not taking this meeting less characters thing seriously.
However, seeing the line, we decided that we were going to skip out! Little victories.
Instead, we did decide to head over to the Studio Backlot Tour because we didn't do it last time and if we believed rumors it wouldn't be along that much longer anyway. Besides, if we were failing at meeting our goal to do less character meets we might as well do more new things!
Look at that beautiful side of the head
I think it'd be cool to see people actually working in there.
Disney plane!
Okay, see that lady sitting there? I'm going to tell you a true story. She got approximately three drops of water on her and then complained about getting wet. No joke. Like, if you didn't want to get tiny splashes don't sit on the edge? Anyway she made the CM give her a towel to 'dry off'.
I wish I was making this stuff up, but to quote Todd (former Youth Minister and former Epcot CM) "People lose their minds in theme parks."
And as a former amusement park worker of the Cedar Fair variety, I've got one thing to say to that: Preach, Todd, preach.
Marie and I had yet to see Lights, Motor, Action! Would we manage on this trip? Who knows?
Oh wait, I do.
Overall, we got out of the tour and felt like it was fun to have seen it once. So, we headed out and I allowed Marie to do some singing in the rain.
But now that she'd sung, we had more pressing issues to get to, like food.
