After the Safari ride and missing out on the Dream FP's, we decided to send the men to FP Expedition Everest while we take the kids over the Camp Minnie Mickey. We told them we would meet them at Triceratop Spin around 10:15. So we take the kids over:
It was right at opening and there was only 1 family in front of us and no one behind us, so we got a lot of character time. First we met with Mickey:
Then Minnie. Rachel had been asking to see Minnie ever since we arrived in Disney World and she was so happy to finally see her!
Then next up was Goofy:
After we left Goofy, the characters moved from up front back to their trails. We were standing there and saw a Dream Squad member standing at the end of Minnie's line. So we rush to get in line but they left.
Not sure what she was doing there so we decided to wait around a little bit to see if they came back. We called the DH's up and told them we would meet them at 10:30. So as we were sitting around waiting, this character came out, and Hunter was so excited:
I just love those pics.
Well, the lines had thinned out, so the characters came back out again! So we had pics taken with Minnie again. Then here comes Goofy and grabs Hadley by the hand to come and meet with him! It was so cute!
We also talked to a CM who was with the characters telling her we were hoping to see the Dream Team and she said that usually when they are there they give out FP's and you really didn't need them that day, the crowd level was so low. She was right, I think me and Dawn were just so involved with the thrill of winning!
So we decided to leave and go meet the guys, we figured they may be getting aggravated at this point, they thought we were crazy for "stalking" the Dream Team anyway! But we called them and they had went on to have their own fun, had went and rode Dinosaur.
We head over to Dinoland and Dawn sees Pluto and Goofy out. I had had my fill of characters for the time being and there was quite a line there, so she hopped in line and me and the kids went over to ride Triceratop Spin. We rode about 3 or 4 times one right after the other, no line at all!!
After we did that, I saw Alan and Ray. Ray wanted Dawn's camera, she had put hers in my backpack, but as she was getting closer to the front of the character line, she noticed that there was no photopass person. So she sent Ray to get her camera. Well, after he took the camera over, she had to go back to get in line, which was already long again. Let's just say she was not a happy person!!! While we were waiting, I took some pics of the kids in the dinoland car:
After this we went back to ride Triceratop Spin and get a drink and we could not find Dawn & Ray. Dawn had my phone, so we had no way to get in touch with each other!
We decided to stay around Dinoland waiting, and Alan took Hunter to ride Dinosaur while me and Rachel took a break in the shade. Ray found us sitting there and said they had walked over to EE thinking we would be there because our FP time was about to run out. He said Dawn was still ill so they would just wait there. After Alan and Hunter got through with Dinosaur we headed over to EE. We let Dawn & Ray & Hadley go first. I tried to get a pic of them on the ride, I did get it, but you can't even really see Dawn or Hadley and the pics is a little blurry:
Hadley loved the ride. Dawn bought their photo from the ride. Then it was time for me and Alan to ride. We tried to get Hunter to go on it with us but he did not want to. I guess I ruined him with TOT?
So Alan and I went on.
Up next:
Bug's Life
Kali River Rapids - did we get wet??
same thing happened to my DH right after 'Ohana. Didn't agree with him and we were stuck sitting in the lobby for quite a while. Looking forward to your AK day.
30 minutes? Were his legs numb
we have NEVER experienced that....it always seems 10 degrees hotter then it really is and always WAY TO crowded! So funny about stalking the dream team, it's obsessive isn't it!
