After Magic Kingdom we rode the monorail to the Contemporary and took the bus to DTD. We had wanted to ride up front, but the CMs were very polite in explaining that because of the lightning that no one could ride up front. We thanked them and moved on.
Arriving at DTD the girls were hungry, wet and cold, but they were still chatting about the parade.
We decided to go to McDonalds for a bite (seemed easiest at the time), but first we would stop but the shop and buy 3 giant towels for my
s to wrap up in. Problem solved for the rest of the trip.
At McDonald's the girls wanted to practice their English and order by themselves. I was proud because even ordering is difficult for Junna.
Good Job Junna!!
After Mickey Ds it was shopping time. I told them to take their time and went off to the pin trading center.
Here is a story I hate to tell, but even it didn't ruin my day. I love pin trading and am the type of trader to give a pin away. Outside the pin trading area I saw what I will call a pair of PIN SHARKS
I can smell a pin shark a mile away. Most people I know and trade with are wonderful and trade for the joy of trading. Pin Sharks on the other hand are in it for pure profit. They usually have a pin vest and suitcases full of pins.
Anyway I watched a trade in progress and was ashamed to be a pin trader, but again I had such a magical day I decided not get angry. I did politely tell the trader how I felt though before leaving.
What happened? well a teenage girl saw a pin that they had and asked to trade one off her lanyard. I didn't see the pin at the time, but later saw it up close. The pin she wanted was a standard, nothing special rack pin, but the lady wouldn't trade. She told the girl if you go in the shop and buy me a Limited Edition pin I'll trade for that. The girl did and got the pin. I then asked the girl to trade with me and saw the pin she had gotten up close. I explained to her to be careful when trading and took her in the shop where I showed her the same exact pin that she had recieved for sale. It was half the price of the LE pin she had bought.
She was upset, but I gave her a LE pin from Japan and she was happy
She offered a pin in trade, but I told her no thanks.
Passing on the magic of my day.
After shopping we went back to the POP and talked about the day. Not once did DDA want to call or even mention THE BOY
Next off to the Animal Kingdom. We climb Everest, see our favorite show and a real life Gorilla gets lose in the Nemo Show
I had bought the tickets in advance and there were no refunds 
!! We made the most of it with our ponchos----at least the lines were short...everything was just about a walk on
DisneySea is beautiful----I checked out the website the other day when you were going to "pop over!!" Take care and hope everything is working out with your new job!
I have one problem with the cruise--4 days wasn't long enough
- she and her friend fly to thailand tomorrow for a day or two in bangkok - then her friend flies home and DD heads to the islands in southern thailand for some R&R from japan
