after that we hit alien encounter..the older kids 15,14,11 loved this ride...we then decided to do the tea cups and it was a short wait...we tried to do winnie but it was a 60 min wait and fp had run out so we decided to do the mickey village..( not sure of real name)..and the kids had a ball...we went to mickeys house and my boy kissed mickey on his nose!..mickey was dressed in a tux and was really cool with the kids...same thing for minnies house...we did the train ride around the mk from there...it was nice break for the adults..we then headed for the castle as it was around that time for the parade & fireworks...we got back to the bridge around the castle and it was jammed!...we tried to find a place to sit w/ the kids but couldnt so we used our stroller as a attack vehicle and made our way to the castle....slow but sure we found a spot and held our ground..i will say the strollers are helpfull and come in handy!...about that time my 3 year old fell asleep...i was dejected as i wanted him to watch the fw ect on my shoulders...but i just let him sleep..and i looked at him sleeping so peacefully with so much going on around him and i was so thankfull that he was mine
