It was great to have knocked off several things from my Must-do list in the Minnie Book on Main Street alone. Taking some extra time to find those little hidden gems was pretty important to me. Not only did I have an incredible interaction with Mr. Piano Man, tour the Fire Station, and visit the Glass Shop, but I also sat in the side street and heard the piano lesson, found some HMs in the Emporium, and took in the entire Trolley Show. What didnt come through in my last update was the little girl who I was standing next to during that show. Let me tell you what I saw:
Completely decked out in authentic costume, obviously handmade with tender loving care, was a little girl about 10 or 11 years old. As the music played, she followed EVERY step of the dancers there on the sidewalk, never missing one beat. The crowd was almost as amazed at her as the show on the street. At one point, she reached behind her for the flag prop, and followed along with that too. After the show, I asked her mother how she had learned to do that, and was told that she had watched videos of the Trolley Show for years, and this was her dream- to dance and sing along. Truly it was wonderful to see a little girl making such a memory!
Getting stuck in the parade (I ALWAYS seem to get stuck in the parades!) ate up another 20 minutes, but soon I was back up Main Street and found myself getting ravishing er, I mean ravished, no wait I mean ravenous. And Columbia Harbor House was on the docket. Get it? Dock It? Ok, moving on .
Theres only one thing I was even remotely interesting in filling me belly with: the most delectable, tasty tuna toting sandwich around. Not for your average land lubber, of course! Youre not a land- lubber, are you?? I grabbed my POC and clicked a couple pictures for those who have the need to see.
Im not sure you saw that very well lets get a little closer, shall we?
Apparently, I thought Id need about 20 forks and sporks to consume my lunch. I loved my free ice water along with my chips (nice selection of those, by the way). The ranch packet was also free on the condiment rack thingy (Id say bar, but it was not really a bar like youd find at Pecos Bills or La Cava). Why in the world I thought I needed more glop on my nicely mayonnaised sandwich, Ill never know, but I grabbed it nonetheless.
My time out spot was nicely situated, dont you think? Here, on the upper story looking down over the crowds and construction was no less than fabulous! My landing was air conditioned, rather undiscovered, and relatively quiet too.
I did not hurry, but rather did not tarry either; time was blazing on, much like the sun and the construction workers around the MK. Everywhere I turned, something new was going up
Or being torn down
Or being made better.
Something added to my itinerary late in the game was taking a jaunt thru ToonTown for some last pictures before it met its demise. Ive never enjoyed this area, always seeming far too crowded and just not my style. I know a lot of people really enjoy the character Meets and whatnot, but I never got into it, so avoided it until today. It didnt take long to quickly remind me why. It was packed again, and very difficult to get any photos. But for Tim, who had specifically asked for pix of the new construction I tried to sneak behind a fenced off area, and get some sneaky photos. It didnt work. Because I chickened out. Either that or my good sense took over when I realized that the punishment could be getting put on the Astro Orbiter for an hour.
So, having wasted a good hour diddling around in Toonville, I headed for more exciting galaxies- The galaxies of Tomorrow to be exact. It was the one land I hadnt really visited yet while solo, so pulling a U-turn with lunch still Anchored firmly, I set a line for:
I just love this show!! I love everything about it, but especially that catchy little tune that I always find myself humming along to during the show. Every day is a great big, beautiful tomorrow, and today was the tomorrow of yesterdays dreaming!! After my spin through the decades, I took a spin on the TTA. I was a person who was moved on that fine day, turning late afternoon, whisking through Tomorrowland. One highlight was catching the lights on in Space Mountain . I know ALL of my photos are really, really bad from my ride, but here are the few I did get. Perhaps Tom Morrow will fix them.
May your day be magical and may your tomorrow be great big and beautiful!!!

Well, if you were a guy. And I weren't married.
Well done!!
I took it too!
Sad I know. It was one of my goals this last trip, but never made it. I guess I'll have to make it a priority this trip in December, at least that's when we're suppose to go next. 
All it takes to make this girl happy is 
.
I've been to DL so many times with the Christmas decor up that it's really not that big a thrill to me. And I know my DH, he's be pretty upset about paying an extra 140/160 dollars to stay in a park that should be open to us any way. That's another thing that sorta bothers me about going in Dec., the park hours stink. Just call me Debbie downer.
