Day 14, part 2:
So I had just finished on Peter Pan and quickly strolled over to Snow White’s Scary Adventures to say goodbye for good because I knew this would be my last time ever riding it. I fully intended taking more pictures of this because of that but a Moany McMoanison said loudly to her child DON’T WORRY THE LADY WILL STOP SNAPPING HER CAMERA ONCE THE RIDE STARTS. Eh go away woman the flash wasn’t even going.

How can it be bothersome to someone when you are taking "non-flash" pictures. What's up with that?

Your pictures at MK are lovely. It really looks like the most perfect day ever with those blue skies. I also enjoyed all your extra pics from the Universal parade. I know I said this before, but I really want to see that parade.

I think there was alot of moaning minis around the theme parks that week. The camera does make a click noise when it's taking a pic but it's not really that bad.

It was a nice morning. The Universal parade was good but lacking magic maybe it was just me.

These are extra video pics from the shows at MVMCP. This is also where I was reminded of a few things I'd forgotten.
First Magic, Memories and you where I had a narrator for the duration of the show, "oh look at the pretty castle," "oh look it's gingerbread" I kinda wanted to get into the camera and punch her but how and ever pics:

Next Holiday wishes where I had a jack in the box seriously the guy didn't stand still for two seconds... also at one point I think I may have forgotten the camera and started dancing to the music because it sways from side to side for a while lol! Pics:
Oh christmas tree oh christmas tree how pretty is the castle:

Next the Celebrate the Season with the Goofy squealer! Goofy came out and someone got very over excited and started squealing like I squeal at a Westlife concert. "Goofy I love you" pics:

Finally once upon a christmas time parade... Santy waved at me:

What is chip doing to the snowman?:

I'm glad you got one last ride in at Snow White... too bad you don't have more pictures though. Personally, I think I'd have just started taking even more.

I'm a little nervous to find out what trouble your Momma got herself into by having to ask for the room number...

I love the commentary about the other people in your videos. Cracks me up! I think it is because we've all been there and we've all seen those people.

 

[amandaw]

Love all the pictures!!

So glad you were able to ride Snow White one last time.

I'm very interested to find out what kind of trouble your Momma got herself into.

Most times I probably would do that but in Disney the grumpy bee side of me seems to evaporate out to some other universe... Maybe I should go to disney soon again.

all will be revealed soon. We were actually talking about this today though. She laughs at her no sense of direction though.

It's funny because you think I have the perfect video and then you come home and it's like why did I not notice the narrator

Love all the pictures!!

Thank you

So glad you were able to ride Snow White one last time.

Me to. I'm sad I didn't get more pics though.

I'm very interested to find out what kind of trouble your Momma got herself into.

I'll try do the update this evening.

 

[petals]

I am not a happy bunny today. I feel a cold coming on and I'm stressed and fed up looking for jobs to do with my actual masters or degree and getting nowhere with it. I actually wish I was in the Magical Kingdom so bad today but I suppose and trip report update will have to do instead.

Day 14, part 3:
So when I left you I was making my way around Frontierland on the Liberty Bell snapping a bazillion pics as I went:

Once back on dry land I headed back towards the Castle stopping along the way to check out the Christmas shop.

Back on the hub I took a bazillion more pics:

I went into the Emporium to get part of Momma’s Christmas present, a Mickey head hotplate thing for the kitchen she had been looking at it for the entire fortnight and didn’t buy it so I got it for her. Then it was time to say a tearful goodbye to the Magical Kingdom for 2011 of course taking a few more pictures before I actually leave:

I left the park just after 10.30 and headed towards the buses. In just over 2 hours I had seen park opening, done Peter Pan, Snow White, Mickey’s Philharmagic, Liberty Bell and gone shopping! I think that was a good morning. Another Monorail colour passed as I was waiting for the bus:

There’s a random pic of the Contempory that I didn’t get to visit this time round:

And then it was back to POP:

I found a very panicked Momma at the bus stop. She had gone to the food court for breakfast but never got any breakfast because when she walked in and looked around she couldn’t remember what door she had come in through so she started panicking. She then attempted to go back to the room but went to room 1433 and the key wouldn’t work at which point she had text me asking our room number it was 1443. She asked the cleaning ladies to direct her back and it was on the far side of the building so this fuelled her dislike of POP a little bit more and she was very happy to have me back and able to lead her around to where she wanted to go.
Before we set off to our next destination we went to reception though to sort out the bus back to the airport. We weren’t booked on the Magical Express but the lady at reception when we checked in told Momma it would be no problem to book us on it just to arrange it today. So we went up and the lady at reception went what airline are you with? and we went Aer Lingus (look them up they are the national Irish airline) she looked at us blankly and went are you sure? I’ve never heard that name hold on. She rang someone, I presume whoever organises Magical Express pick ups and said no whoever was on the phone had never heard of Aer Lingus either. (Really do Irish never stay on site or use the Magical Express that often?) After a few minutes we managed to convince her that the airline did actually exist and she booked us on the 3.30 Magical Express for the next day. Yippee! Finally we made our way back out to the bus to make our way to our next destination.

Next up: A dissing good time!

Poor Momma. It's funny, because I really think Pop is fairly easy to navigagte.

Ah Momma would lose her way in our backgarden like. I mean that in the best possible way. I was saying this to her yesterday. She laughed and said it's easy for normal people.

And another stop at the gift shops on the way out of the park... Not that I'm ready for the end, but I'm very interested in seeing how you manage to pack everything for the flight home.

I'm glad you managed to find your momma and all is well. Everything Pop is a big place, but I didn't think it was that difficult to get in and out of.

Let's just say thank gawd for weighing scales

I'm glad you managed to find your momma and all is well. Everything Pop is a big place, but I didn't think it was that difficult to get in and out of.

I said that to her.. there was three doors out from what I remember but it was pretty simple to get to our room whichever door. I'm just glad she didn't try get a bus somewhere

 

[petals]

I edited that update slightly there because I forgot two pictures

 

[amandaw]

Such lovely pictures!!

That was sweet of you to stop on your way out to get that for your Momma for Christmas. You really got a lot done that morning indeed!

Your poor Momma....she's sounds like she's as bad with direction as my mom is.

Glad they were able to get the ME stuff worked out for y'all! That's silly that no one had heard of Aer Lingus. I mean, really? I don't work in travel or tourism and I don't live in Ireland but I've heard of that airline.

I like to get her different things that she likes but isn't expecting me to get.

She's awful with directions...

It was so funny. I actually nearly laughed out loud when the CM asked us if we were sure that's the name of our airline... What did she think we were doing like making it up to prank her

 

[Caretames1]

I agree with Jen, POP is pretty easy to get around, your Mom must have really turned herself around.

You got a lot done in MK, a beautiful morning too.

I have no idea what she was doing. I guess the foodcourt was huge and maybe that got her confused or something I really don't know.

Yeah it totally pays to not sleep and get up early and be at the park early. I'd say if I wanted to I would easily have done all the rides in Fantasyland by 11 that morning. The funniest thing about me going to Florida though is when I was there I was up somewhere between 6.30 and 8am most days. Over here I struggle to get up before 11am most days
