Chilly's Very Own Fairytale - Day 9

[Chilly]

January 2nd 2010

Mike and I caught the monorail to the Magic Kingdom for about 9am, the sun was hinging today but it was still cold.

We decided to go on Space Mountain first. No idea why DH is pulling this face.

Next we picked up some breakfast in the bakery, just as we were finishing Mike’s parents rang to say they were here so we said we’d meet them at the rose garden.

The park wasn’t crowded again so I took the opportunity to get a bit arty and took this photo:

First stop was the shops as both Mike’s parents were cold so his mum got a fleece top and his dad got a woolly hat, I suggested we paid so they’d get our AP discount but his Dad wanted to pay on his CC, I said they wouldn’t get the AP discount then but nobody believed me, of course they were told they couldn’t have the AP discount and so DH paid for the items, it is very frustrating when you’re the expert and yet no one listens to your advice. Next stop was the jungle cruise and then pirates. Mike’s mum was worried about falling out of the boat on the drop but we assured her she’d be fine.

I’m afraid I’ve totally forgotten which order we did the rest of the day in. But I know I rang my Mum wondering where she was to be told they’d decided not to come as they still felt ill and wanted to get better for their cruise the next day. That was fine but again what was with the parents not ringing us to tell us what was happening, I’d given my mum my mobile so she could ring us that morning to let us know what they were doing.

Next up I think was photo time, this was the first time I’d seen the fairy godmother as I had to get a photo.

She wanted to know where my groom was and demanded he got in a photo as well.

Then I got a photo with my MIL by the fountain.

I know we went on the CoP and someone tried to leave mid way through so we saw the first bit twice. We also went into the Hall of Presidents, and on It’s a Small World (I think). Lunch was at the Columbia Harbour House which was pretty busy but everyone enjoyed it.

We got a spot for the parade but it wasn’t a good spot for photos because of where the sun was and the shade it caused.

We tried to go on the Liberty Square Riverboat but we just missed one. We rode a complete circle of the train. We went on the TTA and saw Mickey’s Philharmagic. As we all had to pack we didn’t want to leave too late. As we missed the riverboat we decided to get the boat back to the Poly, we had to wait quite a while but it was a nice trip across the lake.

Then the in-laws were able to walk to the car park. Back in the room I packed up all our stuff and then after getting ready we headed to the Tambu Lounge to get some cocktails, I went for a Very Berry Punch of course and DH went for a Pina Colava which he loved, he said it was like raspberry ripple.

Our parents joined us for our ADR at Ohana. Everyone loved the food and we got a special pudding.

At the end of the evening we said goodbye to Mike’s parents, they were heading on a cruise the next day from Miami so we wouldn’t be seeing them again. I arranged with my parents for them to pick Mike and I up the next morning to take us to the port, my parents were going on a cruise as well from the same port as us but on a different cruise line and that’s when our honeymoon would really kick in!

DH and I ended the evening by going down to the beach and watching Wishes sat on one of the swing chairs covered by a blanket.

I've just checked my old trippy, and we were in the Tambu Lounge tonight too, what a shame we didn't see you.

More lovely photos Claire
