Continuing on the day,
Trying to see all the shows you want at MGM is something that takes a little bit of skill, you need to plan where to be and when and when you might want to eat and so forth to try and leave room for things to do that are not scheduled show times and if you have to fit them in around this or that.
Our first scheduled show time that we were going to hit would be Disney Junior.
parker was thrilled to see the new jake additions that were added.
we timed it perfectly to get there about 10 minutes before show time when they would be letting people in.
Parked the stroller and were off, if you know nothing about the show it is all the Disney junior main shows, mickey clubhouse, little ensteins, handy manny, and jake which took over the pooh and friends spot.
Parker must spot something he likes.
his good buddy jake was up on stage.
get out those spy scopes kids.
it was about 11 when the show was over, since we just had a small breakfast in the room we were starting to get hungry and wanted to beat the lunch crowd...
Before we left we saw they changed the menu at the Backlot...which was our favorite lunch location in the park, so that was out, Pizza planet was on the agenda for dinner so that was out, we didnt want anything along Hollywood Blvd. so that left a new restaurant that we wanted to try ABC Commissary.
Going around the table, we had a burger for parker, for me why decide between the fish OR shrimp basket when you can have both together.
Candi went with the grilled chicken sandwich.
noelle had everyone lunch. she will eat anything so didnt care what we ordered.
i have to say we all really enjoyed our lunch.
i loved my mine, the fish and shrimp were perfect and tasted great. will be back in the future for sure as long as the keep the menu.
someone could not figure out how to drink from a straw the normal way so opted for the beer bong style approach.
After lunch it was time to squeeze in a little character time before we did our next activity.
So we headed over to see Mickey mouse.
Noelle lost the leggings and was ready to sprint out of the blocks.
In the past you had to wait in the line to see the Mushu drawing thing which needs changed so we always go in the in the exit through the store. Well came to find out that they have another door open there now that you can bypass the show and just go see the characters.
we still went through the exit and did parkers first vinylmation trading of the trip.
he always thought he had to trade it away, so when he found a good one we actually kept it from him and gave him another one we didnt want.
we skipped everyone else and went right to mickeys line.
when it was our turn the CM working let me come into the rope area before parker and wait to get his reaction because she knew he was excited.
was it a good one....
you bet it was
he held this pose for pretty much 30 seconds, he was hugging mickey so tight that he did not want to let go...i looked over at candi and she had the happy tears that she did when she found out our resort but was even more so this time because it was for her son and she could see how happy it made him to be with mickey and just have his moment.
when he finally let go it was time for an autograph.
noelle did come to get her book signed but wanted mommy to hold her.
his eyes crack me up in this one.
parker let the rest of us come into a picture after he had his time with mickey.
and noelle must have thought he was okay because she finally stopped the im not sure about you stare down of mickey and looked at the camera.
when we were done parker was still looking at mickey with a im not sure i want to leave type expression lets hang out.
so i asked him if he wanted to give mickey another hug and he ran and pretty much threw himself at mickey.
i really liked this image that we added to the photopass it just sums up the picture and the experience we had.
when we walked out of line, me and candi looked at each other and had the same look of that already made the trip worth it.
i can neither confirm nor deny that if we talked about i would have gotten choked up with how happy parker was to meet mickey.
hope you guys enjoyed the update, have a great weekend.
along for the ride, glad you found us.
I hope it's a start to her silly personality she's starting to show.
