So after we got our info packet and unloaded the van into our teeny tiny room we all wanted to go to the park but daddy was too tired, mommy is the boss of daddy in situations like this and he ended up going to the park after all. i mean really it is a family vacation not a rest fest for daddy.
we drove the van which later would turn out to be the wrong thing to do. we got to the MK parking lot and then got in line for the tram. trams scare me cause i always seem to get seperated from my family on them, it happened twice in one day at hershey park in Pa. but this time mommy linked arms with me and i stayed safe and intact with the family.
the monorail was packed people act like it was their last chance to get to MK, daddy had to tell a guy to simmer down, it was hot, super hot and i think some people skipped the shower that morning or forgot to use deodarant, mommy quotes commercials alot (wierd huh?) she said arn't you glad you use dial don't you wish everybody used dial? i have never seen that one so it must be an olden day commercial but i laughed anyway cause the guy infront of her must have seen the commercial and he tried to casually sniff his pits.
when it came time to get in the line for finger scanning, daddy lost it, he starts flipping out yelling we are sheeple being herded everywhere then mommy starts flipping out on him jimmy was joining in with daddy, yeah we'll have to get ear tags next. i got to play grown up and tell everyone to just chill out.
once inside Mk it was magic, daddy stopped griping and mommy was wiping tears jimmy wanted rides it was like our family changed in just a few steps, but we all convert back to ourselves soon enough.
Mommy saw Baloo and wanted to meet him, jungle book was one of her favorite movies, it was before my time but i do remember watching it on dvd in my elementary years. i wasn't too into meeting characters but after meeting with Baloo and he hugged me to the point of no air i like it a little better, i guess it felt more real that this character was showing personality and not just signing autographs and doing simple poses for pictures.
next was Pluto, ok, i need to tell you about our dog Max, he is in heaven now but that doesn't stop him from visiting us, he is a german shepherd who also happens to be as he sais "telepathetic" we know he means telepathic he also has a bad speech impediment we love him all the more for that. he chimed in at this point
Max: Pawuto is my pabowit aminow.
we met with pluto he was frisky that day, it was fun but then jimmy started whining he was bored and wanted some rides. so we followed mommys agenda and the advice to always go left
and we headed towards Pirates on the way we came across jungle cruise and rode that, the guys jokes were lame and i felt bad that he had to tell them i tried to give him some sympathy laughs but it sounded so phony which made me feel like i was being mean so i just smiled alot. jimmy and i were thinking that ride would be so awesome if Dane Cook were on it telling the jokes. seriously "most people think its water coming out of the elephants trunk but itsnot" that does nothing for me
we then went over to ride pirates of the carribean, jimmy and i rode this in california i think the drop is smaller in floridas version but really aside from that they are the same.
Max: dis a ma pabowit wide so par.
mommy and daddy let me do some shopping then while they sat on a bench. i bought a necklace for my friend steph who at the time deserved it but sometimes now i wish i would of just sent her a postcard.
we started to make our way to splash mountain and we caught a wiff of barbque it made my tummy grumble mommy said we could eat now even though it wasn't on the agenda for now. me mommy and daddy got barbque sanwhiches and boring brother got a hamburger or chicken nuggets thats all he eats so it was one or the other. my sanwhich was so good but i could not finish it none of us could finish our meal but it hit the spot and even though we are a family of pepsi drinkers the coke was refreshing, so were all fueled up now and ready for some more rides. we got to splas mountain and only jimmy and me wanted to ride. mommy walked us to the entrance and showed us where to meet her when the ride was over, sometimes she is too over protective. but any way the ride wasn't at all what i thought it would be, it was nice though like riding through a story book. finally the big drop came and jimmy screamed like a girl i screamed like a girl too but i am a girl and that makes it cute, when jimmy screams its just scary
after the ride mommy bought the picture. mommy always buys the pictures.
we then went to ride big thunder mountain, i like how at disney there is no guess work about how we can all sit together, everytime at hershey we are counting people ahead of us and next to us and letting people go ahead of us just so we can be on the same train, but disney takes out all the worry about sitting together by doing the counting for us. i love that, hershey could learn from this.
the ride was a bit tame for all of us, well maybe not jimmy "girl screamer" but it is a fun ride and as long as my hair is blowing in the wind the ride will do.
we started over towards ToonTown mommy said this place would be great for a photo opp and mommy can't resist a photo opp.
did i tell you it was hot that day? it was hot i love the heat. the hotter the better, mommy hates the heat but was doing a good job f not getting too cranky. we stopped to get a drink from a watr fountain and mommy took a big drink then spit it out in the bushes "caca" when she said that i knew not to drink the water. daddy asked her what it tasted like and she said it tastes the way death smells, so then i had to try it and she was right.
we took a stroll through minnies house, it was cute jimmy was complaining that all it was was a line ride, daddy thought that was funny and then the two of them left saying they don't do line rides. we went through mickeys house next it wasn't as cute as minnies but still cool to look at, we took lots of pictures in the garden daddy plants a huge veggie garden every year i bet he can't grow mickey head tomatos. mommy wanted to go into the judges tent i told her it was boring and took forever but she really wanted to meet mickey we were told the wait would be about 30 minutes so finally mommy said she would come back later. we then went to hall of fame and mommy spent 50 dollars on postcards i got one of all the evil characters to send to the evil rents in michigan. we got in line to see donald duck but jimmy showed up again and said he and daddy were tired of waiting. mommy tried to ignore him but jimmy refuses to be ignored and everyone around us was looking at mommy like would you just answer the kid. so mommy sid she would come back later (that was said alot during our vacation)
daddy wanted to try barnstormer it looked like a kiddie coaster but we all rode it anyway, i can't describe it. it is the closest thing you can get to a ride with out it being a total line ride, you do move but its over before it starts. the highlight was daddy yelling like Goofy wha hoo hoo,
Max: i wike goopy he id a punny guy
after that we sat and watched the little kids play around donald boat i went in to have a look i thought that was cool. we talked about riding the train, jimmy said it would make him sleepy mommy was dying of thirst so we decided to head to crystal palace and see if they would take us early, we had a tiny wait but they still took us in early, all we needed was a drink to refresh us and we were all feeling better. CP was buffet style i like buffets but i couldn't find anything that looked good to me, so mommy and i had salad and fruit and i did get some shrimp, my daddy makes the worlds best steamed shrimp everything else fails in comparison, that happens alot cause daddy is such a great cook. i think he should quit the construction business and open a restarant. but anyway i like the food ok i guess i just wasn't all that hungry.
the characters started to come around. i love piglet i was a huge piglet collector in my younger years then i moved onto collecting giraffes but piglet is still my favorite from the hundred acre woods gang. Jimmy told mommy at one point he was going to cover his face for all pictures and he wasnt kidding at all. every picture he covered his face and mommy never got mad at that, we did try alot of times to catch him off guard but he is quick.
Tigger is daddys favorite he does a good tigger impersonation, one time at our cabin he kept moving around and wouldnt sit still mommy told him to stop bouncing all over the place and daddy said but thats the wonderful thing about tiggers and he said it just like tigger. mommy wanted daddy to get his pic with tigger but daddy passed. mommy said she can relate to Eyore but i don't know if its her favorite she said winnie the pooh reminds her of her younger brother Matt, grandma and Poppy adopted him when he was 3 days old, my mommy was 16 and they did his room in pooh bear mommy and Matt are super close i dont know if jimmy and i will ever be as close as Mommy and matt.
mommy got tons of pics with all the characters you can see those posted on her trip report, i honestly cant see the logic in posting them twice. we left CP and the food and Ac in there made us tired so we decided to go back to pop even though mommys agenda was saying we had much more to do. it wasn't until we got to the front gate that i remembered that i left my sunglasses back at CP so daddy went back to get them jimmy sat on the bench and mommy and i went into the town hall. there were all kind of things to take your picture with and mommy and me had the best time in there, we came out daddy was waiting for us we started to walk but they started the flag ceremony where they take the flag down so we stopped and watched quietly, daddy has the utmost respect for the American flag he says millions of people have died for it and the least we can do is honor its symbolism, and i agree.
we rode the monorail back to catch the tram and then after some confusion found the van, it felt so good to lay down, on the way back daddy got us lost even though mommy said turn here, shes a bad cook but good with directions. we drove all over the place daddy was fuming mommy was laughing, not at daddy though she just sais we have the worst luck when it comes to being on vacation she agreed with daddy that the signs were hard to read, i think she said it just to please him i dont know for sure though.
we finally made it back to pop and again they welcomed us home, the van was silent we were waiting for daddys explosion but he stayed calm...surprise.
we went to our room and talked about going swimming but there were alot of people in the pool, jimmy and i wanted to look around and mommy wanted to take pictures so we left daddy and headed out for a gorgeous and fun walk around pop.
"Chillax"?? That's the best 'word' I've come across in a long time. 
Still, I can see your logic, not wanting her to insist you all go back to the hotel. Fair enough.
